The Western Army led by Di Qing counterinsurgency arrived at the north of Kunlun Pass on the morning of the next day. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of the limited terrain of Kunlun Pass, the pass is relatively cramped, and it is impossible for all the troops to come up and station. Therefore, Di Qing let the army be stationed under the pass, and he only brought his own soldiers into the pass.

The Western Army and the Nong Army are now close at hand, but they can't touch it across the Kunlun Pass.

As for when the battle will begin, it will depend on when the Western Army will be ready to deal with the things of the Nong Army Elephant Soldier Troops. Because the Western Army has mastered the Kunlun Pass, this initiative is in the hands of the Western Army. When the Western Army is ready, it will naturally switch and let the Western Army pass through Kunlun Pass from the north and reach the Nong Zhigao army in the south.

Even if the Nong army knew that the Western army had arrived, there was nothing they could do unless they could break through the Kunlun Pass.

However, no matter how stupid Nong Zhigao is, he will not be so stupid as to storm Kunlun Pass after the arrival of the Western Army. At that time, he will attack in the south, and the western army in the north can support him at any time, even if all the 50,000 troops under his command are exhausted, he will not be able to attack them.

Therefore, now the Nong army can only wait until the western army is fully prepared and take the initiative to fight a decisive battle with them. The timing of the decisive battle was chosen in the hands of the Western Army, which was also the biggest benefit of the Western Army to seize the Kunlun Pass.

…………

Hearing that Di Shuai was about to arrive at Kunlun Pass, Yang Wenguang hurriedly took a group of generals of the vanguard army out of the camp to greet him.

As soon as everyone went out, they saw Di Qing taking the lead, galloping with his five hundred pro-troops. Di Qing's five hundred pro-soldiers are all fierce soldiers in a hundred battles, and at this time, this team of cavalry galloped over, and it was really like a dragon, a horse like a tiger, and the momentum was extraordinary.

When they were about to close the door, Di Qing and this team of pro-army clubs all made a beautiful emergency stop, their movements were neat and consistent, and they stopped the war horses under their crotch steadily.

Di Qing turned over and dismounted, and Yang Wenguang hurriedly greeted him.

"I've seen Di Shuai!"

"Our old brother doesn't need to be polite, haha, Lao Yang, you won Kunlun Pass this time, and you have made a great contribution. This time, the first credit for exterminating the thieves should go to your vanguard army! ”

Since Di Qing arrived in Guizhou, he was a little worried when he heard that because Chen Shu and they went to seize Kunlun Pass, which attracted the attention of Nong Zhigao's army and sent defenders to defend it. If this Kunlun Pass is attacked, I am afraid that it will be filled with a lot of good sons and daughters of the Western Army. When he was in Guizhou, Di Qing ordered people to build siege equipment, which he carried when he was opened, preparing to storm Kunlun Pass. Unexpectedly, halfway through, I heard a messenger sent by Yang Wenguang, reporting the good news that the vanguard army had captured Kunlun Pass. A difficult thing like a bone in the throat was solved all at once, how could Di Qing not be happy, how could he not praise Yang Wenguang and his vanguard army?!

"Di Shuai has won the award!" Although Yang Wenguang was modest, he still had a smile on his face when he heard Di Shuai's praise.

Since Yang Wenguang's cousin Yang Ji suffered a crushing defeat in Jingluo Lingnan and was recalled by the imperial court, the prestige of the Yang family general has been damaged. The reason why Yang Wenguang desperately went to the court and sent a letter to Di Shuai to ask for war this time was to have the opportunity to wash away the stain on the reputation of the Yang family generals and re-prove the prestige of the Yang family generals. Now that his vanguard army has captured Kunlun Pass, it has cleared the obstacles for the decisive battle between the army and Nong Zhigao, and has explored the reality of the army, and has completed the task as a pioneer very well.

"Lao Yang, you don't have to be too humble, just if you win this Kunlun Pass, you will definitely take the credit, and when the thieves are completely pacified, this commander will definitely ask for credit for you."

Yang Wenguang hurriedly said: "Thank you Di Shuai!" ”

"Our old brothers, why use so many kind words, go, enter the customs, Ben Shuai also take a good look at the first pass in the south of the day." As he spoke, Di Qing stepped forward and took Yang Wenguang's arm and stepped into the customs together.

Di Shuai's son "human" Di Yong also came with his father, seeing Di Shuai and Yang Wenguang head and leave, Yang Huaiyu and Zhong Hao also stepped forward to greet Di Yong and entered the customs with him while chatting. The rest of Di Shuai's pro-army also entered the pass with the leaders of the vanguard army.

"Brother Wenxuan, Brother Zhongrong, you really make the little brother envious. Haha, the little brother hasn't made an inch of success yet, you have already made such a great achievement. Di Yong still admires these two peers very much, and the three of them also talked happily when they were in the Bashui camp. Di Yong felt that one of these two was resourceful and the other was brave and invincible, and they were indeed worthy of his admiration.

"Haha, An Yan, you are envious, I'm afraid you won't be able to get such a big credit!" Yang Huaiyu and Di Yong have long been familiar with each other, and they have been very close, and they are teasing Di Yong at the moment.

"This is not a great achievement, and the decisive battle with Nong Zhigao in the future is the time to make great contributions. With An Yan's ability, he will be able to make a lot of great achievements. Zhong Hao said to Di Yong with a smile.

"Hehe, then borrow the auspicious words of the two brothers."

Everyone chatted and entered the pass.

…………

Di Qing is a resolute and resolute character, and in Yang Wenguang's barracks in Kunlun Pass, after talking about his personal affairs with him, he immediately chatted about business.

At that moment, Yang Wenguang carefully reported to Di Qing the military information that the vanguard army had detected all the way in Lingnan.

Di Qing heard that the vanguard army not only won Kunlun Pass, but also tested the reality of Nong Zhigao's army, and he couldn't help but bow his head repeatedly, not appreciative. But when Di Qing heard Yang Wenguang talk about the sharpness of Nong Zhigao's elephant soldiers, he couldn't help frowning.

Di Qing fought against the Xixia people in Shaanxi all the year round, and also fought with the Khitans in Hebei, but he had never been to Lingnan before, so he only heard that there were elephant soldiers, but he had never seen this elephant soldier, let alone understood this elephant soldier, at this time I heard Yang Wenguang talk about the sharpness of the elephant soldiers, and I couldn't help but have some hidden worries, because although he used soldiers like gods and won a hundred battles, he really didn't know how to deal with these elephant soldiers.

At this time, Yang Wenguang saw Di Qing frowning, and knew that he was worried about how to deal with this Nong Army elephant soldier. At that moment, he hurriedly said: "The marshal doesn't have to worry, Zhong Zanhua, who came with the vanguard army, has already thought of a way to crack it after seeing those elephant soldiers of the Nong army yesterday. ”

Di Qing listened to Yang Wenguang's words, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Haha, Ben Shuai said that he hadn't seen anyone, this Wenxuan has real skills." Lao Yang, quickly call me for this praise painting. ”

Yang Wenguang hurriedly sent his own soldiers to call Zhong Hao.

Di Qing was quite impressed by his young praise paintings. His method of loading horseshoes for war horses has proven to be very effective. The small number of war horses in the Western Army, which were loaded with horseshoes, went all the way from the Bashui Camp in Jingzhao Mansion to Tanzhou without any damage. It turns out that the horseshoe has a good protective effect on the horseshoe of the war horse, which is definitely a good thing. When the Western Army was stationed in Tanzhou, Di Qing had already loaded the horseshoe of the whole army.

and the two methods that Zhong Hao gave him when he was in the Bashui camp and Chen said that they were also very effective. When the army set out from Tanzhou, it brought enough barley and betel nuts. On the march along the way, the army had two meals of barley porridge a day, and each soldier chewed five betel nuts a day. Except for a very small number of soldiers who were hit by the miasma, the vast majority of the soldiers of the army were unharmed, and there was basically no non-combat attrition along the way. That's a big miracle.

With only these two items, Zhong Hao's praise painting is definitely well deserved. Now when I hear Yang Wenguang say that this praise painting of his handsome mansion still has a way to deal with the elephant soldiers, I can't help but be overjoyed and can't wait to hear it.

The horseshoe and the miasma avoidance method have been verified, and he has long proved his ability to praise the painting, and Di Qing can't help but look forward to Zhong Hao's method of dealing with elephant soldiers.

Zhong Hao soon followed the soldier to Yang Wenguang's barracks.

"My subordinates have seen Di Shuai and General Yang!" As soon as Zhong Hao entered the door, he hurriedly saluted Di Qing and Yang Wenguang.

Di Qing smiled and said, "Wen Xuan doesn't have to be polite, sit down quickly." Di Qing looked at Zhong Hao very happily, this young man is not only quite quick, but also erudite, seems to know a little about everything, he is really a young talent, and he has a lot of relationship with Fan Gong, who he admires the most, and Di Qing, who has always been strict with others, has always been quite kind to Zhong Hao.

"Di Shuai and General Yang are in front of each other, and their subordinates don't dare to sit, just stand and reply." Although Di Qing was very gentle with himself, Zhong Hao felt that the necessary humility and etiquette were still necessary.

Di Qing scolded with a smile: "You kid, you can do it if you want to sit, where is there so much false courtesy, hurry up, sit down." ”

Zhong Hao listened to Di Qing's words, so he had to sit down on a chair next to him, owing half of his buttocks.

"Listen to Lao Yang, you have a way to deal with the nong thieves and elephant soldiers, say it quickly."

"Well, my subordinates do have some superficial opinions, please refer to Di Shuai!" As he spoke, Zhong Hao, who had just sat down, stood up in a hurry, took out the note he had written last night from his sleeve pocket, and respectfully handed it to Di Qing. When Yang Wenguang's personal soldier went to call himself, Zhong Hao knew that calling himself must be for this matter, and he came to bring this article with him.

Di Qing took the slip that Zhong Hao handed over, and looked down at it.

After reading it, Di Qing raised his head and asked Zhong Hao, "How did Wen Xuan know about these methods of elephant breakers?" Although Di Qing now trusts Zhong Hao very much, this method is very likely to be related to the victory or defeat of the big battle, and he can't judge whether this method is useful for the time being. Therefore, it is necessary to do some research to determine the source and effectiveness of these methods.

Zhong Hao knew that these methods were very important, and he estimated that Di Shuai would definitely get to the bottom of it, because he had already thought of the rhetoric last night.

At that moment, he heard Di Qing's question, and replied respectfully: "This information about some elephants was also seen by my subordinates from a miscellaneous book when they were in Qingzhou. This method of scaring elephant soldiers with earth-shattering thunder and explosives packs is only a matter of speculation by subordinates, and they have not seen for sure whether it is really effective. Because his subordinates feel that all beasts will be afraid of this loud noise, and his subordinates should be no exception to this war elephant.

As for the method of using fake lions to scare away elephants, it is accurately recorded in the history books. "Southern History? The Song Benji clearly records that when Liu Song's Zhenwu general Zong Yu conquered the Linyi State in Vietnam, he used a fake lion to deal with the Linyi Elephant Army. This method can be determined to be useful without a doubt. ”

Di Qing listened to Zhong Hao's words, and couldn't help but bow his head repeatedly. There are more than a dozen paintings of his handsome mansion, there are many people who are clever and scheming, and many of them are well-educated people, and they will be asked to help the counselor with these methods, and if they can, they will make fake lions as soon as possible.

However, after listening to Zhong Hao's words, Di Qing felt that this method should be feasible. All wild beasts are afraid of loud noises, and this method of using earth-shaking thunder and explosives packs to deal with the Nong Army elephants should be a very feasible and effective method.

As for the fake lion's method of dealing with elephant soldiers, since Zhong Hao said that there was a clear battle example, it should also be very useful. Many of the paintings of his shogunate were full of books and classics, and this incident made them quickly confirm whether this was true or not when they turned to the "Southern History".

As for the last method of letting the sons and daughters cut the hamstrings of elephants with quick knives, some preparations can also be made, but this method cannot be used easily unless it is absolutely necessary. The soldiers of the Western Army are all iron-clad good men, and they are all good sons and daughters of the Great Song Dynasty, who can not be harmed, and they are determined to avoid damage.

At that moment, Di Qing thought about it, and said to Zhong Hao: "If Wen Xuan's method works again, when he calms Nong Zhigao in the future, Ben Shuai will ask for credit for you alone in the good news." ”

Zhong Hao listened to Di Qing's words, and hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "Marshal Xie, but this is the duty of the subordinate marshal to give advice to the marshal." The marshal said that it is absolutely impossible to ask for credit alone, and his subordinates are really ashamed to take any credit. ”

Di Qing said with a smile: "Ben Shuai has never been interested in human feelings, meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, which is the most basic principle of Ben Shuai leading troops." Whether you have merit or not, this commander has the most right to speak. Do you suspect that Ben Shuai doesn't even have this judgment? ”

Zhong Hao hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

Di Qing waved his hand and said, "It's too early to say these things at this time, and it's not too late to talk about it after breaking Nong Zhigao!" ”

Yang Wenguang smiled at this time: "Nong Zhigao doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he dares to go out of the city to fight with our Western Army, isn't this a grasshopper shaking a tree, haha, he wants to find death, and our Western Army will give him a ride." ”

Saying that, Yang Wenguang asked Di Qing: "This sharp knife task of breaking the formation, please marshal must let us be in the vanguard army." ”

Di Qing had the method of an elephant breaker at this time, and his mood became relaxed. In addition to these elephant troops, he really doesn't care about the rabble of the Nong army. Fighting in the field with the Western Army, it is estimated that they will only be abused. At that moment, Di Qing also smiled and said to Yang Wenguang: "Don't worry, this task of breaking the formation is indispensable for you to do it." At that time, we must play the prestige of our Western Army. ”

"Don't worry, Marshal, you will let those Nong troops know that our Western Army's iron cavalry is powerful."
