Chapter 104: Half Cake Love
For the incompetence of Lu Qin, the general soldier of Guizhou, Governor Wang was almost unbearable.
Since the rebels' uprising, the official army has not won a single battle, and in more than a month, it was attacked by the rebels to the city of Guiyang.
Although in Longchangwei, Governor Wang ordered Lu Qin to lead more than 10,000 officers and troops to intercept it, but after the collapse at the first touch, it only boosted the arrogance of the rebels.
If he did not repair the army in advance and rushed to the battle afterwards, the defeat of Longchang naturally also had the responsibility of him, the governor, but Wang Yan, as a civil official, naturally felt that his temple was not wrong, and the reason for the failure was Lu Qin's improper command.
Ten days ago, Lu Qin was ordered by Governor Wang to personally lead 10,000 officers and troops to Longchang to block the enemy, but he did not expect that the rebels were overwhelmed and took Longchang first, occupying a geographical advantage.
After learning that the rebels had occupied Longchang, Lu Qin knew that it would be difficult to win, so he asked Wang Yan to return to Longtou Mountain in the west of Guiyang City to camp to block the enemy.
However, this suggestion was rejected by Wang Yan and Shi Yongan, the inspector of the imperial history, and the official reason was that he had done his best to annihilate the rebels in Longchang.
The actual reason was that the rebels attacked the city all the way, and the Guizhou official army was attacked under the city of Guiyang without organizing effective resistance.
As a result, 10,000 officers and soldiers faced 30,000 rebels, and before the officers and soldiers could get out of battle, they were killed by the rebels who had already prepared for a long time.
Of the 10,000 sergeants, less than half of them fled back to Guiyang in the end.
Therefore, before the rebels arrived at the city of Guiyang, Wang Yan and Shi Yongan impeached Lu Qin's ineffective command and Lu Qin's impeachment of Wang Yan's chaotic life, and then embarked on the road to Beijing first.
has the ability to fight for merit and no merit, these three people have long been perfected.
And the anger of Wang Yan on the city tower was more of an impression that the civil and military officials in Guizhou had implemented Lu Qin's refusal to repair armaments.
After Wang Yan left, the officers and soldiers fired a few more shots, but the results of the battle were too few, and the momentum of the officers and troops declined even more.
Shi Yongan originally wanted Lu Qin to send people to the city to rush and kill, but he was even more afraid that if he was gone, his morale would be even more difficult to drum up.
So, the next time the official army spent the next time in the city watching the people fill in the soil.
By sunset, the rebels had finally filled in the traps, and tomorrow the moat would be over.
The rebels had only been attacking the city for a day, and the tension in the city seemed to freeze the air.
"Brother Da, I just heard from the officer who guarded us that the army attacked under the moat in one day, have you heard about this?"
That night, in the refugee camp east of the city, in the darkness, a thin man deliberately lowered his voice and said to a person lying on a broken grass mat.
"Hmm."
The man was hidden in the darkness, his face gloomy, and he did not want to talk.
", when are we going to launch it?"
The thin man, unable to see the man's face clearly, asked in a quieter voice.
"Wait!"
At this time, the man named Da Ge was a little impatient, and as he spoke, he kicked the thin man with his foot.
The thin man immediately shut up, and then saw a group of officers and soldiers passing in front of him obliquely, and his mouth was still swearing.
The thin man secretly said that it was so dangerous, and he knew that he was speechless, so he didn't dare to make a sound again.
The next day, when most of the panicked inhabitants of the city had not yet woken up from their sleep, the horn of the siege outside the city sounded again.
"Gorou, Gorou, the bandits are attacking the city again!"
In a residential house in Sweetwater Lane in the city, a woman was startled by the sound of a horn and called her husband with some concern.
"I'm afraid of a ball, those savages don't know what to attack a city, instead of worrying about the city being broken, it's better to save some effort and eat less food."
Zhang Wulang ignored his wife's worries at all, turned his head and fell asleep again, and did not forget to add a sentence when he was leaving.
"If you want to live, lie down, and from today onwards, our family will only eat one meal a day."
Zhang Wulang is an old Guiyang, and when Guiyang was besieged in the second year of the Apocalypse, he survived by eating less and not moving.
In addition, a piece of bread was exchanged for the current daughter-in-law.
Zhang Wulang's wife, Zhang Wu, fled from Zunyi to Guiyang for refuge in the Hao'an Rebellion in the second year of the Apocalypse, and later the rebels besieged the city for ten months, and her family starved to death.
Originally, Zhang Wu's family should have starved to death, but because of his delicate appearance, when he organized Ding Zhuang to collect the corpse in the city, Zhang Wulang fell in love with this woman at a glance.
used a small piece of black flour cake given by the yamen that day, and exchanged a daughter-in-law to go home.
But there was one more person to feed, and in that siege tragedy, Zhang Wulang almost starved to death.
Later, thanks to the great victory of the officials and troops of Sichuan and Chongqing in Longchang, the rebels gave up the siege and retreated to Zunyi.
For Zhang Wulang, who has the grace of saving his life, his wife is grateful, and she is also obedient to Zhang Wulang.
Seeing what her husband said, she quickly hugged a pair of children and lay down, and when she ate until noon, she was not hungry when she fell asleep.
Compared with Zhang Wulang's family, who calmly lay down on the corpse, the other people in Sweetwater Lane did not have such foresight, and when they heard the horn rising again, they went out to watch with anxiety.
The hole had been filled, and today's rebels were quickly advancing to the moat.
Braving the arrows of the city, the men rushed to the moat with bags of earth and stones.
In order to boost the morale of the city, Ruchin gave the death order to the rebels and civilians who rushed within the range of bows and arrows.
For a time, arrows and artillery were fired, dead bodies were everywhere by the moat, and wails came and went.
Seeing this tragic situation, the people who had just rushed through the round stopped rushing.
According to the normal siege process, it is time to send a shield car.
The besieging side used the shield cart to cover and shoot at the defenders of the city, and then covered the people to fill the river.
But for the Lu'an rebels, the shield car, a relatively high-tech siege equipment, is not so easy to build.
Not only the rebels, but even the craftsmen who can build shield carts in the official army are rare.
The southwest is not as good as the nine sides, not only are there few wars, but the intensity of the war naturally cannot be compared with the nine sides.
Whether it is the official army or the rebel army, the level of war is at least half a century behind the nine sides.
Therefore, the rebellion of luxury during the Apocalypse was quickly suppressed after the Ningshan border army went south.
Seeing that the offensive was blocked, Anji, who was the rebel's chosen front, did not think of the shield car, but the overseer team was quickly dispatched.
After killing dozens of people and putting their heads on the tip of their guns, the people who filled the earth ran fiercely.
And in order to fill the moat faster, the people did not need to organize, and pushed all their dead companions into the river.
In the morning, more than 1,000 people fell to the ground, and the moat in front of the western city wall was also filled in several passages.
"The offensive is going well, God bless my beam."
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Hao Chongming congratulated An Bangyan, and the leaders under the tent were also beaming.
However, An Bangyan did not take everyone's congratulations to heart.
Now it is only to sweep the periphery, and the Shuixi Erlang, who lack siege equipment, do not know how many casualties will be killed and injured in the next siege battle.
I hope that the chess piece that Yu Chongming laid before will succeed. '
An Bangyan thought to himself, raised his eyes and looked at Yu Chongming.
In Shuixi, Luxury Chongming relied on the identity of An Wei's uncle, and sometimes he didn't buy An Bangyan's account, but since the start of the army, the two have cooperated well.
On the same day, on a small road in the mountains of Guizhou, a team of people and horses marched in the middle.
"Lu Shuai, there is Yaolong Mountain in front, over this mountain, at the foot of the mountain is Songkan Town, and the staff department plans to spend the night there tonight."
Li Tengjiao, a staff officer of the brigade headquarters of the new army, rushed to Lu Xiangsheng to report to him.
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng looked at this capable young man, and then looked at the small mountain bag in front of him, and said.
"The order goes down, all the troops hurry up, be sure to rush to Songkan Town before dark, and order the scouts to set off first and build a good outpost for the whole army."
Li Tengjiao bowed down to receive the order, and then returned to the General Staff Division to arrange for the execution of the army.
