Volume 8 Chapter 218 The World is Peaceful
Zhang Bin couldn't help crying and laughing when he received Huang Degong's return, these guys, their heads were caught in the door or what's wrong, just because the rabble under them still want to threaten the imperial court to give them the title of Marquis and Jinjue, give them fiefdoms, dreaming!
If the 5th Battalion of the Left Wing really sneaked into the mountains to hide, it would indeed be a bit troublesome, because the mountains were not suitable for the advance of the army, and it was difficult to transport the tiger squat cannons into the mountains.
However, no matter how troublesome it is, they can't use the fiefdom to appease the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution, they dare to be so self-defeating and make such a ridiculous request, it is looking for death!
With hundreds of thousands of elite troops in the imperial court, can you still blackmail a group of rabble who can't even compare to the guards, Zhang Bin decided to personally lead the army to Nanzhili and clean them up.
On the side of Bashu, although the thieves have not been completely flattened, Zhang Xianzhong is dead, and the main forces of the thieves in Chengdu Mansion, Chongqing Mansion, Baoning Mansion, Tongchuan Mansion and Shunqing Mansion have also been almost wiped out, and the rest are some peripheral minions who can't make any waves at all.
He directly ordered Qin Gongming to lead 30,000 Shaanxi troops to assist Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, to clear the crackdown, and asked Qin Liangyu to arrange 10,000 white pole soldiers to guard Chengdu and Chongqing, and then took the Fuguang army, Guanning iron cavalry and 30,000 Sichuan army white pole soldiers straight to Hanzhong.
If he leads the army by land from Hanzhong to Nanzhili, I am afraid that it will not take two or three months, but at this time, the water volume of the Yangtze River system is still very abundant, and the light ironclad ships and wheels of the Fujian Navy Division can completely follow its tributary Hanjiang River to Xing'an Prefecture in Hanzhong, and its main trunk is no problem with driving the Zhenyuan cruiser from the Wuchang section, so Zhang Bin takes the waterway.
He directly ordered the clipper to inform Zheng Zhilong and Yu Chenglong, sent light ironclad ships and wheels to transport his army to Wuchang in batches, and ordered them to drive all the Zhenyuan cruisers to Wuchang to wait, and then the big ships and small boats went straight to Nanzhili with more than 100,000 troops, and finally landed in Hezhou to meet the 30,000 guards under Huang Degong.
At such a long distance, Zhang Bin led more than 100,000 troops to arrive in less than half a month, Huang Degong was really startled, and Ma Yingshou and He Yilong, who were waiting for news in Luzhou Mansion next to them, were even more frightened, they knew that the imperial court had rejected his request and sent a large army to encircle and suppress them.
Where did they dare to stay in Lujiang Mansion, Zhang Bin was still assembling and resting, so they led their men and horses to run into the Dabie Mountain, leaving only some scouts outside to inquire about the movements of the officers and soldiers.
Zhang Bin didn't expect these guys to be so clever, he also wanted to repeat his old tricks and send Guan Ningtie to ride to block the road into the mountain, but he didn't expect that he had just gotten off the boat here, and before he could get straightened out, people slipped away.
At this time, it was obviously impossible to outwit, only to attack, he led the army from Hezhou into Lujiang Mansion, all the way to receive the city occupied by the fifth battalion of the Revolution, and on the other hand, he sent his elite scouts into the Dabie Mountains to investigate the situation of the thieves.
These elite scouts were not selected from the Ming army from all walks of life, but he carefully selected them from the East Fan Jiuwei, and these people have gone through hellish training, spying on intelligence in the mountains seems to them to be simpler than flat land, and in less than ten days, an overall sand mold in the Dabie Mountains appeared in front of Zhang Bin's eyes.
Zhang Bin looked at the sand mold and found a very useful information for him, it turned out that there is also an official road in this Dabie Mountain, but the official road is not as spacious and flat as the outside, and the cottages built by the five battalions of Gezuo are near the official road, and the farthest is no more than five miles.
Why is this so?
He understood after a little thought, because from the situation detected, each cottage has at least tens of thousands of thieves, and there are even twenty or thirty thousand, so many people, food consumption is more terrifying, a month to say less has to consume tens of thousands of stone of grain, and a stone of grain is enough to more than 100 catties, to carry so much grain to climb the mountain, climbing a few miles is the limit, if it is more than ten miles or even dozens of miles, you have to tire people to death.
This is quite useful information, because the range of the Qianjin Franc cannon is almost five miles, and if the official road in the mountain can pass through the gun carriage of the Qianjin Franc cannon, then the thieves are finished.
So, can the official road in the Dabie Mountains pass through the gun carriage of the thousand catties of Franco's cannons?
He didn't even let his elite scouts investigate, but couldn't wait to lead Guan Ning Tieqi to the periphery of Dabie Mountain to personally investigate, and as a result, he was overjoyed, although the official road in Dabie Mountain was winding and rugged, uneven, and even a little potholed, but as long as it was a little flat, there was no problem with the gun carriage that passed the thousand catties of Buddha cannons.
This is good, he immediately ordered, ordered Zu Dabi and Huang Degong to integrate their 80,000 horses, respectively guard the four entrances and exits of the official road of Dabie Mountain, and then ordered Yu Chenglong to send him hundreds of thousand-pound Buddha cannons with artillery carriages, everything was ready, and he personally led the Fuguang army and the white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army to march into the Dabie Mountain.
This is the nearest cottage from the entrance and exit direction of Luzhou in Dabie Mountain is the cottage cultivated by King Lin of the world, where nearly 30,000 horses under his command are gathered, and the mountain path leading to the cottage from the official road is full of checkpoints, there are many places that are dangerous, almost all of them are a man's pass, and Lin Chengcheng is still more confident in the defense of the cottage, he believes that even if the imperial court sends 100,000 troops, it is in vain, because many dangers can not be broken by many people.
Sometimes things are like this, he will come whatever you want, or rather, whatever you are worried about, you will come, Lin Yangcheng is still proud in the cottage, less than half a month, there are really more than 100,000 officers and soldiers on the official road outside his cottage, that guy, the officers and soldiers who stretch for more than ten miles can see it even if they are blind, and the scouts under him naturally see it.
However, Lin Yangsheng was not very worried, he thought that the officers and soldiers were not convinced, and insisted on trying, and when they ate a big deflated, they would know that it was terrible, this cottage, the officers and soldiers could not break through, even if more than 100,000 people came, it was useless.
Zhang Bin didn't know that Lin Chengcheng still had this self-confidence, he checked the situation around with a little binocular, and then ordered hundreds of thousands of Buddha Lang machine guns to line up in the direction of Lin Chengcheng's cottage, and ordered the artillery commander to climb to the top of a nearby mountain, and then sat on the horse and waited quietly.
The artillerymen under his command were quite professional, and they saw a wave of flags, and all the guns quickly adjusted their angles, followed by a loud "boom", and hundreds of shells flew into the mountains with a roar.
Before Lin Yangcheng could understand what was going on, the huge roar came to mind one after another, and it didn't take long for the old management team at the first pass to run to him and shouted in horror: "Oh no, my king, our city wall has been collapsed by the artillery of the officers and soldiers. ”
"What?" Although their so-called city wall is not a real city wall, it is also built with stones, and ordinary bows and arrows and muskets can't hurt the people behind at all, and even the tiger squat cannon of the officers and soldiers can't do it, and now it is directly collapsed by the officers and soldiers, isn't it over now!
He guessed correctly, and then, every quarter of an hour or so, there would be a dense artillery roar, and the dangerous passes that he was proud of were smashed to pieces by the artillery of the officers and soldiers, and even in the end, the shells of the officers and soldiers were smashed into the cottage, and the whole cottage was in chaos.
Needless to say, after a few rounds of shelling, Ma Xianglin led the white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army to rush into the cottage of Lin Yangcheng, and the king of the world unfortunately became a prisoner in the hands of Zhang Bin.
In the following more than a month, Zhang Bin led the army to sweep two back and forth in the Dabie Mountain, and more than 20 cottages built by the fifth battalion of the left were swept away by him.
