Chapter 709: Taining Temple

Under the guidance of the spies of the Affairs Bureau, Zhao Yu followed the army along the extension of the mausoleum area to the west, where the mountains are not too high, but the forests are deep and the grass is dense. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He also visited the imperial tombs in the north in his previous life, but after the turmoil, the trees have long been sparse, and the remaining ancient trees have become cultural relics. However, the trees of the Shaoxing Emperor's Mausoleum are well protected, and the pines and cypresses are planted all over the surrounding area of the mausoleum area in a hundred years, and it is forbidden to cut down, and now it is already an ancient tree.

If the light is already bright today, there is still sunlight in the sparse trees, but the overlapping crowns and caps of the two trees are difficult to see the light, and it covers people's vision. Walking to a slightly open place and looking in the direction of the mausoleum, although he did not understand feng shui, he also saw that the momentum of this place was extraordinary.

In the distance, it is surrounded by Qinglong Mountain in the east, Ziyun Mountain in the south, Wuhu Ridge in the west, and Wulian Mountain in the north. At the same time, the terrain is slightly lower in the southeast and slightly higher in the northwest, and the clear stream originates from the Darenlong Mountain in the southeast and winds along the imperial tomb to the west. The whole mausoleum area is about five miles in radius, the mountains and rivers are blended, the scenery is picturesque, and the dead and buried here are not in vain in this life.

"Your Majesty, the path ahead is even more difficult to walk, but you have to carry it on your back?" There is no direction in the forest, it is all guided by the guide, and the road to avoid people's eyes and ears is of course a secluded path. Liu Yan, who was opening the way in front, turned around and asked.

"No, I'm still keeping up!" Zhao Yu waved his hand.

"It's okay, Your Majesty can trek through mountains and rivers even if he is fully armed, and it doesn't hurt to walk dozens of miles a day, not to mention that he is empty-handed now!" Chen Dun, who was supporting on the side, said.

"Oh, my subordinates didn't expect His Majesty to have such strong foot strength!" Liu Yan was a little surprised and said, the little emperor in his impression was still the little fat man who often needed Ni Liang's back, but he didn't expect that now he could also march on foot with the troops.

"What's so strange about this, how to escape without good foot strength, and if his daughter-in-law runs away, he won't be able to catch up!" Chen Dun said with a smile as he walked.

"If you say it again, you will be cut off by the Chen family!" Zhao Yu saw that Chen Dun was getting more and more outrageous the more he spoke, so he turned his face and glared at him. He knew that it meant that the queen mother set a family affair for herself, and the slang people live in the mountains all the year round, whether men and women go over the mountains and mountains, jump over the ditch and cross the stream, it is like playing, so this jokes him.

"Cut, you used this to scare people ten years ago, and now that I have children, I'm not afraid of you anymore!" Chen Dun sneered, but he still blushed a little when he thought about how he succumbed to the little emperor for this.

"Hehe, Commander Chen is still naughty!" Liu Yan had also seen Chen Dun make trouble in the Shuai Mansion back then, and when he saw that the two of them were joking with each other as before, they suddenly seemed to have returned to the past, and they felt even more cordial, and said with a chuckle.

"Let's go, I'll send you to the front as a big soldier if you miss something!" Zhao Yu glanced at Chen Dun and snorted coldly.

But to put it mildly, Zhao Hao has really worked hard over the years, in addition to studying hard with Yuan Miao, he will still participate in military basic training. In particular, the New Army's trekking training around the island in May every year is almost every year, and this training is not only an opportunity to test the results of learning, but also to temper one's will, and at the same time to familiarize the soldiers with the combat skills of marching in the rainy season.

During the month-long training, each person carried an average weight of 40 catties, and in addition to carrying weapons and equipment, he also had seven days of personal provisions. During this period, they not only marched on foot, but also camped in the wilderness, and carried out drills in attack and defense, reconnaissance, surveying, survival, concealment, erecting bridges, armed swimming, etc., and the most worrying thing was the forced march in the long-distance mountains. Zhao Yu went from the beginning of his bare hands to the weight of twenty pounds, and until the later full-pack off-road was all able to be completed by his own ability, of course, he paid more than others, but he still persevered.

Zhao Yu was very aware of the disadvantage of his army in mobility, and when the Mongol army marched west to Asia Minor and Khorezm, the cavalry team changed their horses lightly and galloped up to 200 miles a day. Huo Quai's Wei Qing was also quite fast when he pursued the Xiongnu, and he could probably do it for 160 to 200 li. In the battle of Shunchang in the Southern Song Dynasty, on the Jin army's side, Wanyan Zongbi's cavalry team could also travel about 1000 miles a day.

At present, the regular march of the Song army is 30 to 60 li a day, and the brigade must stop before it has marched five miles to prevent the marching army from being scattered. Marching in this way not only made it difficult to maneuver quickly, let alone pursue and outflank the Mongol army. And he knew that the reason why the PLA in his previous life was able to run through four wheeled cars with iron feet was that in addition to taking advantage of the terrain, it also had the ability to force troops to march long distances, which could enable the troops to maneuver up to 100 miles away day and night to intercept the enemy and avoid being surrounded by the enemy.

Therefore, it is very necessary to conduct long-distance forced military training so that the army can be formed into a large-scale, long-term rapid maneuver. And the cavalry was not completely dominant on long distances, and only on a day or two of the march did the cavalry go more than the infantry. For three to four days' march, the infantry cavalry marched at the same distance. After more than five days, the infantry had an advantage, and after ten days of marching, the infantry outperformed the cavalry. This has also been proven countless times in history. Besides, even if the horse runs fast, it will be in vain if the logistics can't keep up. In addition, if the horse is overused, it will die and be scrapped, so there is not much time to ride and use every day, unless there are enough spare horses.

And Zhao Yu has to train hard when he becomes the emperor, in addition to boosting morale and getting closer to the army, there is also an indescribable hidden pain in his heart. At present, although he rarely dreams of the tragic situation of the bloody night in Quanzhou, he understands that it is better to believe in himself than to believe in anyone. If Zhang Shijie and others hadn't been in a hurry to cover the little emperor's escape that day, they would not have put themselves and the queen mother in danger, to put it bluntly, their value was lower than that of the little emperor, and they could be sacrificed.

Even if he has become the emperor now, Zhao Yu also knows that there is no undefeated army in the world, and there is no general who wins a hundred battles, and the emperor cannot escape this law, after all, Liu Bang was beaten by Xiang Yu and abandoned his wife and children, and was surrounded by a white horse; The traitorous male Cao Cao almost lost his life Hua Rongdao, and was beaten by Dongwu to cut off his beard and abandon his robe before escaping his life; Zhao Kuangyi, Taizong of this dynasty, made a northern expedition to the Khitan, and finally suffered a defeat and escaped with his life in a donkey cart; Didn't even Lafayette of the Qing Dynasty stage a big drama of escaping overnight in a mule cart?

What's more, in the current frequent wars, once the war is lost, it is difficult for everyone to care about each other, if you have good military quality, you can go over mountains and mountains, operate boats and boats, and then you will also have the capital to flee for your life, so that you will not be a prisoner to sit in a well and watch the sky, and someone will cut off your head and use it as a toilet. In short, art is not pressing, and there is always a time when things are used inadvertently, and the ability to survive in this troubled world must not be left behind.

Therefore, the mountain road in front of him is not a problem for Zhao Yu at all, but he is by no means bare-handed as Chen Dun said, with two 'singles one' pistols pinned to his waist and a dagger tied to his thigh? Now there are more people who want to kill him, and he can't be careless, the guy who lives with him is the last line of defense, and he never leaves when he goes out......

Zhao Yu and his entourage walked quickly through the mountains and forests, and this place has been deserted for many years, and the mountain paths have all been submerged in barren grass and fallen leaves, and there is no way to distinguish them. Although there were people in front of him, Zhao Yu's clothes were inevitably wet with dew, and the stuffy forest had already made people sweat, and after walking for about half an hour, he waded a waist-deep stream and then came to a small mountainside before stopping.

"Your Majesty, that is the Taining Temple where the demon monk temporarily lives!" Liu Yan pressed his hand to let everyone squat, stealth and between the grass and trees, and pushed aside the artemisia grass that was more than half a person tall and pointed to the road down the mountain.

"Well, it's not small!" A guard handed over the binoculars, Zhao Yu took it and looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a Buddhist temple hidden in the mountain col, he muttered.

The temple sits in the north and faces south, surrounded by bamboo, and there is a stream gurgling in the east of the temple. The temple has five entrances, the first entrance is the five-bay mountain gate, but it is also tall and majestic, highlighting the royal identity; The second into the three-bay Daxiong Treasure Hall, in front of which is a small square, I think it is for worshipping the Buddha; Sanjin is estimated to be the Guanyin Temple, and there are ancillary facilities on both sides; The fourth entrance is a pavilion, which is probably the pavilion of the scriptures; The last one should be a meditation room and other places for practice and receiving visitors, and he estimated that there should be more than 200 houses, and it was quite painstaking to search for them.

At this time, the sky has been bright, it can be seen that there are soldiers near the mountain gate to patrol back and forth, and there are soldiers in and out of the side hall, which should be the place where the Mongolian soldiers are stationed. In the rest of the places, there are monks cleaning, and there are no idle people and other activities, and there is no chanting sound of monks in the morning class. After a little pondering, I also knew that these people dug a grave at night, and it is estimated that they are all tired and resting, for fear of disturbing the living Buddha, and the monks in the temple can only offend the true Buddha in the sky.

"Commander, everything is as usual, the demon monk has never left the temple!" At this time, there were members of the action team deployed around the area to report.

"Your Majesty, how to fight?" With the emperor here, of course Liu Yan didn't dare to call the shots, so please ask.

"Do you still need to arrange to deal with these thieves?" Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Liu Yan, I will give you all the men and horses, and I will guard outside the temple with the action team to capture the escapees; The rest of the people put on bayonets and rushed down with me, and those who resisted were killed, but those who were the leaders wanted to live, and I would take them to pay tribute to their ancestors and ancestors! ”

"Do the Holy Commandment!" Liu Tong and Chen Dun looked at each other and said with a wry smile, the little emperor grabbed the soft pinch, and didn't even talk about tactics. But it is also that this temple is inhabited by either monks, or a rabble digging graves, and those Mongolian soldiers still have some combat effectiveness, but I am afraid that they are not as good as two rounds of guns.

'Pap, papa, papa......' At this time, a dense burst of gunfire came from the northeast, and it was obvious that Tian Zhong's side had begun to exchange fire.

"What are you waiting for, rush!" Zhao Yu stood up and said.

The little emperor can laugh, but others dare not take it seriously. They rushed down from the hillside, and Liu Yan led a group of soldiers to quickly divide into two teams and spread out to the two wings, and together with the action team, surrounded the temple. The commander of the third battalion commanded the other two to quickly line up outside the mountain gate, so that one was in front of the straggler front, and the other was lined up with three horizontal columns to follow up.

Those who play strikers say that they are out of the stragglers, but in fact they are also organized. Because the muskets were released and loaded relatively slowly, they had to cover each other to ensure each other's safety, so they divided into three combat groups in groups, marched under the cover of the gang leader, and encountered scattered enemies in one group to shoot, and the other two groups alternately covered to ensure that one group could shoot at any time.

Seeing a group of murderous people suddenly appear in front of him, the Mongolian soldiers who were guarding the mountain gate were still blindfolded? I didn't understand what part of these people were, and just when I wanted to ask, I saw a flash of fire in front of me, a few explosions, and the people around me were already lying there with blood in their chests. There was a shout of warning for the dead, but before he could finish a sentence, several bayonets had already pierced his body.

The sentry in front of the gate was cleared, the mountain gate was opened, and the soldiers rushed in, and Zhao Yu also wanted to follow in but was held down by the guards. He could only see the battle through the gap between the mountain gate and the shadow wall. But seeing that the Mongolian soldiers who heard the warning were pouring out of the side hall, but whoever ran fast and who died quickly, the platoon guns of each gang rang out one after another. You must know that within fifty paces, the musket is still very accurate, and it is also extremely powerful, and under the intensive round shooting, the Daluo Immortal cannot escape.

There were sporadic Mongolian soldiers who rushed forward to fight in close combat, but the bayonets of the Song soldiers were not vegetarian. After several years of training and continuous summarization, the assassination technique has also been improved many times, not only has the individual assassination tactics are more simple and applicable, but also derived the many-to-one, foot-to-horse assassination tactics. When encountering a powerful opponent, there will often be the best skill in the tactical group to entangle him, and then the others will wait for the enemy to show their flaws and wait for the opportunity to assassinate.

With the intention to fight unprepared, the Song army was overwhelmed, and there was already a bunch of people lying on the square, and the clever jumped out of the back window to escape, and the Song army did not rush to chase, divided into several teams to clean up house by house, and steadily moved forward. Although Zhao Yu couldn't see the situation of the battle, from the gradually fading gunshots and shouts of killing, he deduced that the battle was also one-sided, thinking that the new army he had painstakingly trained couldn't even deal with this rabble, and he really died headlong.

After about half an hour, the battle was over, the entire monastery was searched, the corpses were cleaned aside, and then a group of prisoners who were tied up like zongzi were escorted to the small square and knelt in front of the Buddha. Zhao Yu was invited into the courtyard, tables and chairs had been set up in front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, he sat down and looked down, a shiny bald head couldn't tell which one was Yang Lian Zhenjia, thinking that those soldiers couldn't recognize it and were afraid of killing themselves to blame, so they captured all the bald heads alive......
