The third chapter is all savage

Liu Chang smiled and said, "The news I got is that the uncle will soon become a Hou Ye because of Pingdu's brutal skills." But there's nothing to say about it. It's just a bunch of savages in the mountains. ”

Tang Yin said: "Although it is said to be a savage in the mountains, it may not be easy to deal with, it is like a Tibetan land, a place with poor mountains and bad waters, but it has also made General Guangning Bofan suffer enough, and before now, didn't he also fold 5,000 men and horses?" ”

"It's hard to deal with."

Liu Chang sneered and said, "This is that Wang Yushi looking for death." ”

immediately told the situation of the man.

The tribe of Duzhangman has a long history in the mountains, after the Fang people in the Qin and Han dynasties. But after entering the Ming Dynasty, it was relatively honest at the beginning, but after that, there was a little rebellion.

repeatedly harassed all parts of Xuzhou Prefecture in Sichuan, although the Ming Dynasty also did a lot of ways to suppress it with the guards.

But then the corruption of the system of the Ming Wei was slowly becoming unscrupulous. The local people complained. In the DPRK and China, two different views were formed: encirclement and suppression and appeasement.

At this time, the victory or defeat of the Annan War was not decided, and Zhu Qizhen ordered to be appeased, and it should be regarded as a salute before the soldiers.

It's just that the battle of Annam was quickly settled.

After the three major battles of Lang Son, Thang Long, and Thanh Hoa, the Li family was almost wiped out, although there was still resistance in Annam, but it was all sporadic resistance, and there was no team of more than 1,000 people.

Under this circumstance, Wang Hao, who was in charge of appeasing Du Zhangman, had other notices in his heart.

This is also the influence of Zhu Qizhen's constant emphasis on changing the land and returning to the stream.

Because in the Battle of Annam, there were nearly ten counts, many of these counts were hereditary Tusi of Guangxi, and Zhu Qizhen used his title to buy out their hereditary land.

Now the Cen family, the Huang family, the Tian family, the Long family, and several others have settled in Beijing.

Even in martial arts, there are children of these families.

Therefore, Wang Hao had other thoughts and wanted to emulate one or two.

So he offered preferential conditions, lured down 270 leaders of the various tribes in charge of the capital, and then killed them all. He immediately urgently summoned 5,000 guards and marched to the capital.

It's just that Wang Hao almost did bad things with good intentions.

One of the reasons why Zhu Qizhen tolerated Du Zhangman was that Du Zhangman was not united internally, and their plundering was more of a habit of life, rather than deliberately opposing the imperial court.

Between the poor mountains and bad waters, sometimes in order to survive, there is no moral bottom line.

It's just that Wang Hao's killing killed all the leaders of the barbarians.

It is true that the dragons of the Duzhang barbarians have no leader, but it also clears the biggest obstacle to the unification of the Duzhang barbarians, so that the barbarian king Ah Gou quickly controls everyone.

And this Wang Yushi is also not familiar with military affairs

After quickly entering the mountain, he was ambushed by Duzhangman, and only a few dozen people fled back with 5,000 people, and as for Wang Yushi himself, he also died in the chaos.

Wang Yushi's ending is also a good thing for himself.

Otherwise, how did he escape back, and the decision that awaited him was severely punished by the law of the country, and maybe the family would be implicated. Either put to death, or go far away.

Since Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, there are only a handful of defeats, the most tragic is the battle of Maoerzhuang, followed by the battle of Baitengjiang. But how to say it, Waspur and Annan are both big countries.

It is also normal to be at war with the great powers, in which there are some repetitions.

But what is it that is in charge of the barbarians, and it has actually fought such a big defeat.

For a time, Beijing shook.

Zhu Qizhen immediately ordered the army that was withdrawing from Annan to transfer 30,000 elites, led by Wang Yue, to command the army and people of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces, and to encircle and suppress all the barbarians.

The reason why this is the case is not that this is a large scale, and it is necessary to use people from the three provinces. Instead, they are all in charge of the junction of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

If the three provinces do not work together to encircle and suppress, there will be a situation in which the neighbor is beggar-thy-neighbor.

Since the founding of the country, Du Zhangman has been rebellious, but he has not been dealt with, not necessarily without this reason.

Although Liu Chang said that Duzhangman was a group of savages in the mountains, he still had lingering palpitations in his heart when he recalled the war that had just ended in the first half of this year.

Said: "All the palms are chiseled and broken hair, like to use gongs as horns, walking on the ground in the mountains, and it is even stranger that they actually buried their coffins on the cliffs, which is really strange." ”

This is something that Liu Chang's department can understand.

But it is also the only thing that Du Zhangman has left to the world.

The historical capital is in charge of the barbarian because of the rebellion, the Ming Dynasty, three times encircled and suppressed. finally killed them all, and let Du Zhangman disappear in the long river of history.

The only thing left is the strange scene of the cliff hanging coffin that many curiosity hunters talk about.

Liu Chang sighed and said: "It's not difficult to fight, if you put it on flat ground, those tens of thousands of people, only give me a few thousand, you can break it." But the difficulty lies in the terrain. ”

In the history of the battle of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, more manpower and material resources were mobilized than the Battle of Luchuan, and the Duzhangman was leveled in one fell swoop, and it was a hundred years later for the Duzhangman to recover his vitality.

But now the Ming Dynasty is much stronger than the Ming Dynasty in history.

Although it has not fully entered the age of firearms, at least one foot has already stepped into it.

The Ming army has an overwhelming advantage over the army that is in charge of the barbarians, no matter from what direction it is viewed, and the gap in combat effectiveness is as far as Liu Chang said.

"The barbarians have two cities, one is called Lingxiao and the other is called Nine Silks. Lingxiao is the mouth of the mountain. Lingxiao City is on the top of Lingxiao Mountain, its city is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, unclimbable, only one side, but there are forty-eight turns on the mountain road, it can be said that it is condescending on Lingxiao City,

All of us are under their sight. ”

"The enemy can shoot with a bow and crossbow, but it is difficult for us to attack even with artillery, and the elevation angle is too large."

When Liu Chang said this, he sighed heavily, then took out a small wine jug and drank a glass heavily.

"So, how did Wei Nanhou deal with it?" Sun Cuo immediately asked.

Liu Chang said: "Uncle chose three hundred dead soldiers, and took advantage of the night to climb up from one side of the cliff, including me, and everyone bit the wooden bar, swearing that even if they fell to death, they would not make a sound. ”

"As a result, on the cliff, half of the people fell and died, that is, I took a few brothers to fight into Lingxiao City, buying a quarter of an hour for the army."

"Although this Lingxiao City is very dangerous, the area on the mountain is not large, there are only more than 1,000 people, after the army boarded, they fought hand-to-hand, and the thieves naturally couldn't resist it."

"That's why I pulled out Lingxiao City."

"It's just that although this Lingxiao City is steep, it is nothing compared to Nine Silk City."

Zhang Jie said: "What kind of dangerous law is this Nine Silk City? ”

Liu Chang sighed and said, "This Nine Silk City is not a city, but better than a city. ”

"Nine Silk City is a mountain, cliffs on three sides, one side can be climbed, not to mention, on the top of the mountain, a radius of more than 20 miles, there are several streams, the middle is flat land, can be cultivated."

"Even tens of thousands of people living in the mountains are no problem."

"Where is this city that can be built by people, it is simply a heroic city thrown down by God from the Tianshan Mountains."

Although a few people have not led troops to fight, but after all, in martial arts, there is still basic common sense, and when they heard this, they suddenly gasped.

Before Lingxiao City, it was dangerous, but it was just a small city. As long as it is broken, it will be shattered.

But now the Nine Silk City is different.

The Nine Silk City is large enough that it seems that it can repeat the previous practice and let people climb the cliff, but in reality it is absolutely impossible.

Without him, because of the small city, only after a gap was hit, it could not support the impact of the army. Even after a long battle, the army in the small town is a minority.

But there are a lot of people in Nine Silk City, and they have to monitor the surrounding cliffs, not to mention whether they can climb up, even if they can climb up, how many people can climb up at a time?

The number of people is overwhelming.

So even if you climb up to one or two hundred people, that's a lot. In the face of the thousands of people gathered in Duzhangman, there was no chance of winning at all. It's just a futile death.

This can be seen as an alternative way of attacking the enemy in the middle of the crossing.

And the honest assault will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and I am afraid it will be difficult to advance an inch. It's like Qianlong attacking the big and small gold mountains, and it's likely to be in vain.
