97. Bingfa Gule Village
On the way, the kite quietly asked me why I was so careful in the position of the enemy camp, and asked thirty prisoners in a row before I believed it?
I smiled, looked at the kite, smiled and said two words: "Experience!"
After thinking about it, he added two more words: "Lesson."
Then he laughed and said nothing.
The kite stared at me with wide eyes for a long time before nodding thoughtfully. Rakshin added softly, "Sir is also to test Halleha's loyalty!"
I continued to smile and remain silent.
Rakshen suddenly smiled and asked me, "Then sir, how do you evaluate me?" And kites! ”
Hearing this, the kite also turned her head and looked at me with a smile.
I smiled, looked up at the blush in the eastern sky, and smiled, "Time!"
To be honest, after the assessment, I am very happy with Halleha. He's a blacksmith, a blacksmith who has gone to sea! His father had been trading ginseng with Koreans for many years, and of course, he would also trade with surrounding Siam and other places, mostly bartering. Of course, I also know what the role of these so-called maritime merchants is.
To put it bluntly, these people raised the banner of the caravan and did the business of the caravan. Raise the flag of the pirate and do the work of the pirate. So listening to his experience, I knew that I needed such a "navigator". How to say it, confirm the eyes, meet the right person, that's what it means.
But that's a later story, and the top priority is to face the Jurchens of Gulezhai.
I have already put Tanma in contact with Li Chengliang, and as expected, he has already defeated the Atai Division, and it is also not surprising that the Atai Division and the Ahai Division have retreated in the same direction, and they have already converged at Gule Village and the adjacent Mangzi Village, and they are fighting each other's corners, and they cannot be garrisoned.
In fact, by putting on such a posture, they are already showing that they are retreating, indicating that they do not want to fight anymore. But it is clear that the powerful medicine I gave Li Chengliang has a good effect, and Li Chengliang is not satisfied with defeating the enemy, but wants to use the enemy's blood to wash away the shame of forgiveness.
And I am naturally happy to see it, it is best for Li Chengliang to kill the rise and become enemies with Nurhachi, then everyone will be happy! So I'm trying to make the offensive move like I have now.
Unfortunately, this is a beautiful vision after all.
On the afternoon of the third day, Li Chengliang and I went out for a meeting thirty miles south of Gule Village.
This Ming Dynasty and Qi Jiguang's famous general is not in a very good state, I asked two symbolic questions, he replied lightly, and my persuasion is naturally high-sounding. This kind of thing, I can't report myself to the door and say that the macho man is my little brother Sha!
It's good to know this little luck!
Li Chengliang had a dark face, squeezed out a smile, pointed to the two villages on the topographic map and said to me: "Qilan, you see, now Ataibu is camping in Gule Village, and Ahaibu is resting in Mangzi Village. We can't go back empty-handed this sortie, you say, how can we fight? ”
I looked at the topographic map, and it was very detailed, the contour lines were fine and dense, and the graphics were clear. I didn't answer, but I asked, "Is this a standard map in the army?" ”
Li Chengliang smiled again and said, "No, this is like Zizi's painting." ”
I glanced at Li Ruzi, who was standing behind Li Chengliang, nodded with a smile and said, "Master!" ”
While Li Ruzi clenched his fists and humbly, I had already begun to study the map carefully. The topography of Gule Village and Mangzi Village is like a dumbbell, and the two villages are two dumbbell weighted blocks, and there is a valley in the middle, but the topography of the two villages is very different.
The terrain of Mangzi Village is relatively gentle, but there is an extremely wide moat outside the village, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to occupy. The Gule village is surrounded by cliffs on three sides and a steep slope, which is more like a bunker built on the top of the mountain!
I looked at the topography of the two stockades and groaned for a while. He looked up and asked Li Chengliang: "General Li, you are more familiar with this place, what are your opinions?" ”
Li Chengliang frowned and said: "To be honest, I have surveyed this place before, but not as an attacker, but as a defender. ”
I wondered, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Li Chengliang said: "These two stockades were originally built here by Timurge, the third brother of Teweizhen, as a fortress to monitor the Xing'an Mountains. I've been here a few times, trying to turn this place into a forward outpost for monitoring the Jurchens, but unexpectedly it was taken away by Atai and Ahaibu! ”
I asked, "What about the internals?" How to solve the problem of food and water sources? ”
Li Chengliang thought for a moment before explaining: "Both villages have multiple wells that can be used for drinking. As for the food, I guess that since the two tribes can escape and garrison here, I am afraid that they are also prepared in advance. As for the structure, these two stockades are made of pure stone, and it is not easy to break them by external force! ”
I was silent for a moment and asked, "This, Gule Village, what is the situation outside the village?" ”
Li Chengliang said: "There are trees all around, but they are not too high, after all, the village is too steep, how tall can the surrounding trees grow?" ”
I thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "Actually, I have a way to use it as a reference. ”
Li Chengliang's eyes lit up and said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it!" I want to hear about it! ”
I smiled mysteriously and said, "General Li, I'm afraid that you already have a plan, but you're here to test me!" ”
Li Chengliang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Qilan, although I am more than thirty years old with you, and you are the same age as my sons, every time I talk to you, I feel like the same age!" It's not as good as this! ”
He asked people to take two brushes and said with a smile: "We wrote the method in our hands, but we took it out together to see if we thought differently?" ”
I laughed and said, "That's great! ”
So we turned our backs and took a brush and made a few strokes on our hands. Almost at the same time, we turned around and extended our left hand almost at the same time.
In the palm of his left hand, the word "fire" is written.
In the palm of my left hand, I also wrote the word "fire".
We looked at each other and laughed at the same time!
Without saying much, Li Chengliang smiled, but asked me directly: "Gule Village is decided like this!" You just said that there is a way, but there are also tricks to Mangzi Village? ”
I smiled and nodded, leaned down, pointed to the valley between the two stockades, and said, "The cemetery I arranged for them is on this road!" ”
Li Chengliang said softly: "Road...... You mean, encirclement and reinforcements? ”
I smiled and said nothing. Li Chengliang patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid, you really have you!" After the Ming waist jade people, there must be your name! ”
I modestly said, "General Li has an overreputation!" Qilan does not seek to be heard in the world, but only seeks to be stable in the heart! ”
Li Chengliang sighed: "Although Qilan is young, he has a noble temperament!" The old man admires! ”
I hurriedly said a few words of modesty.
Li Chengliang said: "In this case, the two villages have already set countermeasures. Then Qilan, you choose first! Which village do you choose? ”
I smiled and said, "General Li is brave and crowned in the world, so naturally it is difficult to hand over to General Li." Qilan boy, let's find some light work to do! ”
Li Chengliang laughed and said, "You will be modest." Well, then I'll do it too! Gule Village belongs to me! The Ahai Department of Mangzi Village will still be handed over to Qilan to solve! ”
I arched my hand and said, "I will not disgrace my life!" ”
The next step is to get ready for the moment. As a person, there are some things that I must see to be at ease. That night, I took the nine ghosts Zhengxiao, Mo and Kite, and quietly lurked in front of the two villages to find out.
Quietly, we cats bent our waists, sneaking on the edge of the road between the two stockades, here the trees on both sides of the road are extremely lush, in this June, the grass grows and the warbler flies, it is definitely a good place to ambush!
After looking at the road, I took a few people back and forth to the two villages to observe a few laps, and I really knew what to expect, and then I took a few people back.
Early the next morning, we began to prepare the plan and supplies for the operation. This time, I want to teach the Jurchens a lesson that they will never forget. At least let them have a bald heart when they come back to invade later!
Li Chengliang's side was also in full swing, and I saw him sending people to cut down trees, many, many trees. Looking at the trees falling one by one, I didn't know what was going on in my heart, and suddenly remembered Xiong Da Xiong Er, and I couldn't help but sigh again.
For reality, but also for memory.
I've done a lot of preparation, and of course I'll show their fangs in the next battle!
By the afternoon of the third day, all our preparations had been completed. After Li Chengliang and I secretly discussed again, we went back to the camp to rest, prepare for the battle at night, and fully preserve our physical strength and spirit!
In the middle of the night, the two teams of men and horses quietly marched towards the stockade. I rode in the middle of the line on a war horse wrapped in horses' hooves, listening to the sound of suppressed breathing, looking at another black, unlit dragon in the distance, and sighed in my heart.
This is history, and I am making history! I don't know what I'm going to bring to the world, but I'm sure, at least not sorry for myself!
After about four hours of marching, we had lurked a mile south of the road between the two stockades. According to the plan, Liu Jianchun led the infantry and chariots to continue to move forward and hid on the outer edge of the road!
I, on the other hand, led the cavalry and made a detour back to the back of the hill on the north side of the road, and waited for the battle.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when I was thinking about when Li Chengliang would do it, suddenly, on the mountain a few miles away, a fire erupted!
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and at last it almost looked like a volcanic crater, and half of the sky was red!
Li Chengliang did it! I thought to myself. But still a quiet observer.
From this point of view, you can't see the inside of Gule Village, but you can see every move of Mangzi Village!
After Gule Village caught fire, the defenders of Mangzi Village soon found out! They ran to report to Ah Hai, and in a short time, all the tents were lit up!
I looked down at the lights below, stretched out my right hand, and grabbed it in that direction!
You will be my prey!
