Chapter Forty-Eight: Guanshan Flying

"That's the way it is." Mao Kai poured a sip of water and said.

No matter what the situation is, Mao Sheng always wants to get to the bottom of it.

So he sent his nephew out, Mao Kai took a dozen nights without collecting it, and the Li family sent a guide, and followed the path they said, and left.

That's ten days.

Of course, within ten days, the Ming army did not stop the attack on Zhennan Pass, and the Beijing camp pressed on a large scale, and countless artillery shelled the artillery on Zhennan Pass.

However, as Wang Yue said, Zhennan Pass occupies a favorable position, and the Ming army is attacking from the back, and the artillery range is offset by a considerable part of the terrain.

Although the artillery technology of the Ming army is better than that of Annan, the artillery technology of this era is just like that, even if it is a city mixed with wood and earth, the artillery of the Ming Dynasty cannot be gnawed, and the artillery of the Annan army is easy to suppress the Tusi soldiers who come to attack.

In the past ten days, among the Tusi of Guixi, Cen, Huang, Yang, Long, Mo, and other big surnames, there are many of them, all of them went into battle, and the equipment of the Tusi soldiers was nothing more than swords and guns, and there were very few firearms.

There is a lot of blood and bravery, but in the face of the iron wall in front of you, it is difficult to make any progress.

Ten days to no avail. Only blood was everywhere.

And at this moment, the army attaches more and more importance to this path.

Mao Kai told the situation 1510.

This so-called path is actually not a road at all.

No one has walked for many years, and all kinds of vegetation have long covered the road, so to speak, why Mao Kai can only come back in ten days this time, is because they are opening the road.

Follow the previous traces, just open the way.

However, this path is not entirely difficult.

Only from Pingxiang to the east over three or four mountains, is the most difficult to walk, the straight-line distance is only about twenty miles, but there is hardly a piece of flat land along the way, either mountaineering, or in the mountains a line through. Not to mention the various terrains.

But after this section, you come to a valley, which is very narrow at first, but the further you go south, the more spacious it becomes, and when you reach the southernmost point, which is the road that connects with the Langshan Mountain in the south of the town, it is completely flat.

In fact, there are people in the second half of the activity, so I collected because the first half is too difficult, and many people who go from south to north have already entered a dead end.

Wang Yue said: "Now there is only that. ”

Mao Sheng said: "Okay, select a thousand people from the whole army, led by Mao Rui, and cut off the logistics of Zhennanguan from here." ”

Wang Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "General, think twice." ”

Mao Sheng said with a wry smile on his face: "I'm not desperate, how can I make people desperate?" ”

On the 10th day of storming Zhennanguan, the Tusi families were killed in shock, and even the soldiers of the Beijing camp who participated in it were also killed and wounded, and the army already had some complaints about Mao Sheng.

said that he could only send someone else to die and let his son eat meat.

Everyone slammed the town of Nanguan, and the most elite men and horses in his headquarters were spared from attacking the city because they were cavalry.

Of course, what if there are complaints? After all, Mao Sheng was the general of the Ming Dynasty's expedition to the south. Who dares not to listen to orders.

But Mao Sheng knew that if a general only relied on the power given by the state to manage his subordinates, and he did not have a little prestige, how would he fight in the future?

Therefore, he can naturally put the Mao family headquarters in the most dangerous place and let them take a look. He is a bowl of water.

Of course, this is also Mao Sheng's confidence in his son Mao Rui.

I believe that he can make achievements even in difficult environments.

Wang Yue saw that Mao Sheng had already made up his mind, so he didn't say much.

Only 1,000 people were drawn because the capacity of this road was too limited. Many more simply can't get through.

Thousands of people were drawn from the nearly 100,000 army, almost the elite of the army.

This matter also let the crown prince Zhu Jianjun know.

Zhu Jianjun is in the army.

Only now, he is even more silent.

Although he paid attention to every move in the army, he rarely expressed his opinions, even if Mao Sheng asked for instructions many times, he did not speak. Many people have subconsciously ignored this one prince.

And this matter, Zhu Jianjun took the initiative to ask. said: "There are more than 100 guards of the Qianqing Palace around Lonely, all of whom are first-class in the world, and now is also the time for them to serve the country." ”

This opinion was put forward by Zhang Mao to Zhu Jianjun.

These guards of the Qianqing Palace escorted Zhu Jianjun for many years, and needless to say, almost everyone in the court thought that these people were the prince's team.

But what's the use of the prince asking for some guards?

Naturally, it is a talent who can stand alone.

This time to participate in this key operation, in the future, in terms of meritorious deeds, these people can also be placed in the army and serve as the wings of the prince.

Zhu Jianjun naturally agreed.

Mao Sheng couldn't refuse.

First, the prince rarely proposes things, and Mao Sheng refuses as soon as he opens his mouth, he doesn't know about human accidents, and secondly, the people around the prince, Mao Sheng has also seen, most of them are martial arts talents, they can kill people when they enter, they can write music when they retreat, and they even have a little ability to lead troops, and they are very good at cooperating with each other, not to mention equipment. It can be said that it represents the highest level of weapons and equipment of the Ming Dynasty, and the plate armor made by the best and lightest Shaofu reform experiments can only be equipped by the guards of the Qianqing Palace.

Of course, this plate armor is not the kind of plate armor that looks like a tin can all over the body, but a large piece of plate armor inlaid with leather, which can not only protect the torso, but also be very lightweight.

In the army of the southern expedition, he is naturally an elite soldier of the first class.

It's just that Zhang Mao also participated, but it made Mao Sheng a little embarrassed.

Although Zhang Fu is dead, the British Gong's signboard is different from that of Cheng Guogong, Cheng Guogong was defeated, and almost lost the family's fame to the family, but Zhang Fu's exploits are still managed by the army.

Not to mention the armies of the South, if you really want to say that, these armies have been under the command of the British Gong Zhang Fu for decades.

Although this British prince is not as good as the crown prince, he is also a small ancestor.

In the end, the prince was able to protect Mao Sheng.

The crown prince Zhu Jianjun finally persuaded Mao Sheng, and after coming back, he said to Zhang Mao: "Tingmian, everything I promised you is gone, but you must also do what you promised me and come back alive." ”

Ting Mian is Zhang Mao's word.

Zhang Mao said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely come back." ”

Zhang Mao understands very well that Zhang Fu had two regrets when he was dying, one is to give up Jiaozhi, and the other is the defeat of Maoerzhuang.

Even the first thing made Zhang Fu's pain deeper.

The defeat of Maoerzhuang, after all, is a matter of Cheng Guogong, not Zhang Fu's.

And Zhang Fu boasted that his life's work was in Annan, and giving up Jiaozhi was giving up his life's work, how could he not be obsessed. For many years, it was difficult to put down.

His eldest son, Zhang Zhong, went to the feudal policy, and his own purpose was to promote the war to destroy Annan again. And Zhang Mao's young matter, his father is no longer there.

But this does not prevent him from worshipping his father, and he is also carefully reading the various letters and articles left by Zhang Fu, and among Zhang Fu's many texts, there are a large number of works on Jiaozhi. Even the time was in the last years of Zhang Fu's life.

Now that the imperial court and Annam are at war again, Zhang Mao can sit back and watch. That's why he had to take part in this almost death squad-like mission.

Time waited for no one, and after the thousand people were assembled, they immediately took ten days of dry food and entered the vast mountains.

More than 1,000 people could only enter, and the team pulled the old elders, and everyone had to go on foot, and carry their own weapons, armor and rations, which weighed dozens of catties.

Entering the mountains, the mountains are getting steeper and steeper, and it is almost impossible to find a way out of the middle of nowhere, and even in an hour or two, you can only advance one or two hundred steps, and there are many people who are not good and fall into the valley.

At the beginning, everyone was surprised, and then they all went numb.

Because in many places, if you have the kung fu to care about the life and death of others, it is better to care about yourself, and a moment of distraction is enough to let yourself die several times.

After walking like this for three days, dozens of people were reduced, you must know that here are the elite of the elite. Generally there will only be more casualties.

Finally, the vast mountains that are difficult to fly over are finally lying at the feet of Mao Rui and others.
