Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 80 Entering Mengyang (II)

"Stern refusal? The intelligence is so detailed, why was it refused? Jiang Yu was puzzled.

Cheng Zongqi trembled and looked at Jiang Yu's stern gaze: "Deputy General Tian thinks that the so-called 40,000 soldiers is just an exaggeration, at most there are 10,000 soldiers, and we have nearly 10,000 soldiers stationed in Mengyang City, and we can completely defend it." ”

"And once 10,000 soldiers are dispatched to leave the battlefield of Jiangtou City, it will bring serious hidden dangers to the garrison of the big battalion, if something happens to the big battalion, the consequences will be unimaginable," Cheng Zongqi was so anxious that his neck reddened: "Deputy General Tian also ordered us to defend to the death, and not a single soldier or soldier can leave Mengyang City for half a step!" ”

Hearing this, Bai Qianfan's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted, but he still barely held the armrest of the chair and sat up straight, not letting himself lose his temper in public.

Jiang Yugang frowned: "My Ming soldiers are not weaker than any army in the world, but they should not underestimate any army in the world." ”

"Luchuan Xuanwei Division, said to be Xuanwei Division, it is better to say that Luchuan State, from the Yuan Dynasty to my Ming Dynasty, Luchuan has never really surrendered, from the north of Ava, to the east of the Jinsha River, and then to the south of Ahongmu in the north, Luchuan is the real overlord of this land, we have captured Mengyang City, but the vast area north of Indoji still belongs to the control of the Luchuan forces."

"It can even be said that in the entire Mengyang, our Ming army only occupies a place in Mengyang City, how can we think that the rest of the large land in Mengyang cannot supply tens of thousands of soldiers?" Jiang Yuyan sighed deeply, but his fighting spirit became more determined at this time.

He didn't want to miss the fighter because of the misjudgment of the senior generals above, he had already obtained the most detailed information he could get in this era, and he Jiang Yu was reckless, and he must ask for support.

"If Deputy General Tian is unwilling to transfer troops, then ask Jing Yuanbo directly for help!" Jiang Yu made up his mind.

"Yu Gang, my status is not enough for people to report the military situation to Uncle Jing Yuan." Bai Qianfan shook his head gloomily, he had fought too many battles large and small, Meng Yang's military situation had reached this point, and he had already been defeated, but he was in the center of the vortex this time, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get out.

Jiang Yu smiled sneered: "If you can't see Uncle Jing Yuan in a normal way, then use a special way, I have trained the mountain people for several months, and now it's time for them to behave." ”

················

"You mean, bypass the other generals and go directly to Uncle Jing Yuan?" Bai Qianfan somewhat understood Jiang Yu's thoughts.

Jiang Yuyan nodded: "Since the other generals will hesitate to transfer troops, worried that the transfer of troops from the big camp to Mengyang City will lead to the danger of the big camp, then it is better to directly persuade Jing Yuanbo, if Jing Yuanbo wants to send troops, no one can stop him." ”

"But through normal methods, you can't see Uncle Jing Yuan, so you can only..." Bai Qianfan frowned and glanced at Jiang Yu, and continued with some hesitation: "Send someone to secretly infiltrate Jing Yuanbo's camp and directly convey the information to him. ”

"Exactly." Jiang Yuyan didn't expect Bai Qianfan to understand so quickly.

Bai Qianfan was not relieved, but his face became more heavy: "In the past wars, there was no shortage of such things as risking death to send letters, but there were few successes, and often the fighters that were delayed at the beginning could not be reversed in the end. ”

"Therefore, if Jing Yuanbo must be able to personally check the military situation, he must effectively convey the information." Jiang Yu replied.

Seeing Bai Qianfan's hesitant look, he further explained: "Although there is now a big battalion that has strategically misjudged Mengyang's defense, but my Ming army has been fighting against Luchuan for ten years, and Jing Yuanbo's position here is unshakable, and he has his absolute right to speak, as long as the intelligence can be conveyed to him, the matter will be half done." ”

"The remaining half lies in Jing Yuanbo's views on the war," Jiang Yu looked directly into Bai Qianfan's eyes, this middle-aged man who was over half a hundred years old looked particularly haggard under the long-term torture of the dangerous Luchuan war: "The commander was personally appointed by Jing Yuanbo, and led the four guards to garrison Mengyang City, and it is impossible for Lord Jing Yuanbo not to know the importance of Mengyang City." ”

"If he learns that Mengyangcheng is besieged by about 40,000 Luchuan soldiers and is in danger, it is impossible not to lead the army to support," Jiang Yu's voice was categorical: "If he doesn't come in the face of this situation, then it will be impossible to achieve results in Luchuan before." ”

Bai Qianfan stretched out his hand to cover his face, and then slowly lowered it, revealing tired eyes: "It is a felony to rashly break into Jing Yuanbo's tent. ”

"As long as you can win this war, the multiple charges will dissipate like a whirlwind," Jiang Yu recklessly followed: "And if you lose Mengyang City, so that the overall situation of the war will be ruined, all kinds of charges will be added to the head of the commander in endlessly." ”

Listening to Jiang Yu's words, Bai Qianfan's expression became a little relaxed, he exhaled deeply, and his voice became firmer: "Okay, I agreed." ”

"Please ask the commander to help explain the method of entering Jing Yuanbo's camp." Jiang Yuyan immediately saluted. He did a good job of intelligence in the Mengyang area, but he didn't know anything about the big camp in Jiangtou City, and if he wanted to infiltrate Jing Yuanbo's camp, he could only rely on Bai Qianfan in front of him.

Although Jiang Yugang did not have information on how to enter Jing Yuanbo's camp, he had intelligence to prove that Bai Qianfan had gone to the Ming army camp outside Jiangtou City, and that time he went to see Jing Yuanbo.

"Okay," Bai Qianfan also made up his mind, no longer conservative, but chose to fight with this young man with all his might: "I did go to see Jingyuanbo before, it was fifteen days ago, outside Jiangtou City, the main force under General Zhang and the Luchuan Army had a big battle in Lanwa Village, and this battle was the key to our capture of the southwest camp of Jiangtou City. ”

"When the victory was about to be achieved, a support army of the Luchuan army suddenly came out, and our army was suppressed by the enemy in numbers, and finally returned in vain, and this battle is the epitome of many previous battles - the Luchuan army has a large number of manpower, relying on the advantage of numbers, and the difficulty of our attack on the walled city is very high every time."

"This is because the vast area south of Jiangtou City is mixed with the area of Ava, in fact, in the area of Mengyang, there is also this phenomenon, the southeast area is mixed with the territory of Mengyang in Ava, obviously we are at war with them, but Luchuan is constantly getting supplies from Ava." Bai Qianfan analyzed.

Jiang Yu listened without listening, but he also admired the ability of this commander, Ava, or the various forces around Luchuan, were indeed the key to supplying blood to Luchuan Country. Because the Luchuan area is rich in resources and has a relatively pleasant climate, the plains and rivers dotted around it support a large population.

However, although the surrounding forces may not be able to control the territory because they have been at war with the Ming Dynasty for many years like Luchuan, relatively speaking, because of the climate, resources and topography, the population may be less, and the ability to control the region is not as strong as the Luchuan Si clan, which eventually formed the influence of Luchuan on the surrounding forces.

The Luchuan Kingdom, which controlled the basic power of the agricultural society, the population, constantly obtained various resources from the surrounding forces, from food to weapons, and guaranteed its own strength, even if it fought the Ming army for many years, it could remain strong.

Even when most of the power of the leader Sijifa in the Mengyang area was destroyed, and the leader himself was nowhere to be found, he was still able to organize a solid defensive front in Jiangtou City to block the main army of 100,000 of the Ming army.

And Jiang Yugang's Mang Castle, in fact, is also with the help of the development of the traditional Luchuan forces and surrounding forces, through trade and personnel exchanges with Ava and other farther forces, and has achieved rapid development, for a small corner of Luchuan, but can resist the powerful Ming reason, he also has a clear understanding.

Jiang Yugang was thinking about it, Bai Qianfan continued: "After this defeat, the generals of the battalion were a little pessimistic for a while, we have been entangled with the Luchuan country in the hinterland of Luchuan for too long, there is information that the forces in the north are in turmoil, and Guizhou has been in the Miao Rebellion, although we have achieved greater results than before, but we have also fallen deeper than before, both materials and manpower have cost a lot, but we have not been able to achieve enough matching results. ”

Jiang Yu listened to Bai Qianfan's words, and only felt that his scalp was numb: "Could it be that the camp has already begun to retreat?" ”

"I guess so, after all, this war, without the support of Ava, Jiangtou City is really difficult to capture, and if it continues like this, the battalion will not be able to hold on." Bai Qianfan sighed.

"Then what did Uncle Jing Yuan say when he recruited you?" Jiang Yu asked.

"Instructed me not to lose Mengyang City, and asked me about the transfer of grain and grass, and the dry cliff responsible for the transfer of materials, how is the docking situation of the garrisons in Nandian, I think that even if the battalion retreats, Mengyang City is also a key channel." Bai Qianfan said.

"Actually, if we can completely solve Mengyang's Luchuan forces and stabilize the rear, we can further restrict the division of Luchuan Kingdom and surround Jiangtou City." Jiang Yugang put forward his own idea: "If this goal can be achieved, then Jiangtou City will be just an isolated city at that time, and no matter how many soldiers and manpower there are in it, there is nothing to fear." ”

"It's easy to say, now Mengyang City is about to fall." Bai Qianfan glanced at Jiang Yu coldly.

Jiang Yu didn't care: "If we hold Mengyang City, we will have the opportunity to counterattack, combine flexible superior forces, and divide and eliminate the Luchuan forces outside Jiangtou City, and the final Jiangtou City will be a fish on the chopping block." ”

"You can add that to the intel." Bai Qianfan stood up: "You have trained a lot of scouts, I heard that there are people who are proficient in drawing?" ”

"If you have nothing to do, just train some mountain people to do things." It's not good to do these things under the nose of your boss, Jiang Yu said perfunctorily with a sneer.

Bai Qianfan waved his hand: "Don't pretend in front of me, but I also have a capable craftsman under me, you come with me, and I will arrange for him to draw a topographic map near Jingyuanbo's camp now." ”

"Okay." Jiang Yuyan immediately followed.

·················

Bai Qianfan pointed to the map and introduced to Jiang Yugang: "In Jiangtou City, our army is mainly stationed in three places, and there are two vanguard positions: north of Lanwa Village, which is mainly garrisoned by Tian Liyou's deputy general and General Zhang Rui; To the east of Minmo Village, it is garrisoned by the troops under the command of Zhang Yuanzuo's deputy general and General Fang Ying; In the end, the Chinese army under the command of Jing Yuanbo and Gong Ju General Army was stationed near the Mansi Village, and Jing Yuanbo's camp was in the center of the Mansi Village. ”

"It is said that the Mansi Village is a very large village?" Jiang Yu asked.

"Big is big, but now only our army is there, and everywhere we rely on tokens and passwords, and they are also heavily guarded." Bai Qianfan replied.

"In this way, it will be a little more difficult to infiltrate." Jiang Yu couldn't help frowning.

He thought about it, and an idea suddenly rose in his heart, he had always subconsciously thought of himself as the person who was going to deliver the letter, so he thought about the secrecy and safety of advance and retreat everywhere.

But this matter, to put it bluntly, is just a letter, and it is enough to be able to send the news to Uncle Jing Yuan, so why think too much about what happens later?
