1030 The fate of the mutinous toast
In such an important place, it is impossible not to pay attention to its safety as long as the IQ is above average. What's more, King Talong led his troops to fight in the south and the north, and when Dongwu attacked Mengyang, it was Mengyang Tusi who copied the grain road, which led to a big defeat. There is such a lesson, and the protection of this treasure well can be said to be quite tight.
Between Mengmi and Baojing, there is a section of the road with only a narrow official road, flanked by the most common high mountains in northern Myanmar, and it is impossible to think about the army in the primeval forest. Therefore, King Ta Long chose the distribution center of materials in Baojing, in addition to putting an elite army in the town, he opened his army in Mengmi, completely covering the passage from Mengmi's side to Baojing. Unless the Ming army defeated the army of King Talong, it would be impossible to send troops to attack the idea of Baojing.
However, what King Talong didn't know was that in an abandoned mine about twenty miles south of Baojing, there was a dense army stationed, and judging from the clothing, it was the Ming army.
On the outside of the mine, on the road leading to the official road outside, there were many people, and two generals, a man and a woman, were patrolling here.
"Your Excellency, everything is normal here. Three Dongwu people passed by and were captured, but none of them escaped! ”
The young general nodded when he heard this, and was about to say something, when the female general suddenly said, "Husband, the battle on Meng Mi's side will start soon. ”
This female general is none other than Ma Zhang in the chat group, Qin Liangyu's daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi. Another person she called her husband was naturally Ma Xianglin. When he heard this, his face suddenly became excited, and he immediately turned around and said, "Let's go, go back to my mother!" ”
In the tent of the Chinese army, Qin Liangyu, the loyal martyr, was talking to a military general, and he heard her smile and said: "In the past, my white pole army and the Qi family army had joined forces to fight. At that time, the Qi family army was also mostly a firearms unit, and now, my white pole army has joined forces with the firearms army again, and this time it will definitely be able to complete the will of His Majesty! ”
The military general in front of him was a staff general, named Wei Shouze, and under his command was a thousand flintlock musketeers, who secretly went south with the White Pole Army after almost training in Kunming. Hearing this at this time, he couldn't help but say modestly: "Uncle Zhonglie has won the award, how can the army of the last general be as good as the Qi family army back then!" ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly felt a little inappropriate, so he immediately added: "However, the last general's command is equipped with the most powerful militaristic heavy weapons at the moment, even if it is not as good as the Qi family army back then, it is more than enough to fight with Zhongliebo and deal with these Dongwu troops!" ”
Qin Liangyu listened, smiled and nodded. The Qi family army back then was actually no longer the real Qi family army. The spirit of the army is gone, and no matter the tactics, contingencies, etc., they are all very different. Otherwise, Jianyu still wants to defeat the real Qi family's army, that's a dream!
The army in front of her, the sharpness of this firearm, she has never seen it in her life. When she saw this firearms army drill for the first time, she was truly taken aback. Especially when it takes two people to use the gun, I can conclude at a glance that this is just the elephant army that can defeat the Dongwu people.
Fighting in the south, the roads are inconvenient, and if it is artillery, it is very difficult to move with the army. Especially in Dongwu, the traffic situation is even worse. But this carrying spear is several times more powerful than an ordinary musket, but it can be carried by someone, and such a sharp weapon is undoubtedly one of the most advantageous weapons for attacking Dongwu this time. I don't know who came up with this genius idea, which took into account the sharpness of artillery and the convenience of transportation.
Qin Liangyu still remembered very clearly at this time, when she asked in shock, who was so smart that he invented this kind of gun for use in southern warfare? Min Hongxue Min Ge also admired it, and replied that she was the emperor!
Hearing this answer, Qin Liangyu felt taken for granted after the initial shock. Because in the past two years, she has been paying attention to Emperor Chongzhen, who appreciates herself very much and is like a sea. When she heard the unbelievable things about the young emperor, she was shocked again and again, and she didn't feel strange about this gun!
While the two were talking, Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi entered the big tent excitedly and told Meng Mi about the situation.
When Qin Liangyu heard this, he was also quite happy. After the army found out that King Talong led the army north to Mengmi, they expected that he would put the grain and grass distribution center in Baojing, so they had already quietly hid in this mine. Now that some of them are being implemented as planned, it means that when Meng Mi's side will let the Dongwu army suffer a big defeat and be demoralized, he will take the treasure well in one fell swoop and give the Dongwu army the most powerful blow, so that the Dongwu army will definitely collapse, and the main force of Dongwu will be destroyed in one battle!
If the battle of Baojing was launched before Meng Mi started, King Ta Long would definitely lead the army to fight back and open up the back road, so that the war on Meng Mi's side would not be able to start, many goals could not be achieved, and the pressure on Baojing's side would be unprecedentedly huge. The best time is naturally planned, when the Dongwu army is attrition in Mengmi, suffers defeat, and morale is low.
If it was before, it would be difficult to grasp such a fighter. But with Zhang Fengyi here, you can cooperate with whatever you want, so you naturally have to choose the best time.
When Qin Liangyu and the others began to prepare for the battle against Baojing, Meng Mi's battle finally began.
This time, with no fortifications outside the city, the Togo army was able to reach directly under the city walls. Although King Ta Long really wanted to capture Meng Mi at one time, he issued a strict order and asked his subordinates to go all out. The generals of all armies supervised the battle, and even the supervising team directly under the king of Talong was lined up, and those who dared to retreat were immediately killed. Although Meng Mi's city wall is far from being tall, the Ming army is prepared to fight, how can it be said that it can be defeated if it is fought?
The roar of artillery, rolling wood and stones, gold juice wolf tooth slap, etc., on the tricks of defending the city, the Han people said second, and no one dared to say first. The Dongwu army suffered heavy casualties, but they couldn't even attack the city, and as the sun set, King Talong's face was gloomy as if he could wring out water. The ministers who watched the battle with him were also silent one by one. The combat power shown by the Ming army at the head of Mengmi City is far from being comparable to the Tusi who defended the city they had dealt with before!
After Mingjin withdrew his troops, the king tent army discussed, and King Ta Long stared at Gu Zhaoshi with cold eyes, and asked coldly: "Didn't you say that these Ming troops are just fugitives?" Why is there such a powerful combat force? ”
Gu Zhaoshi knew that today's siege was a fiasco, and King Ta Long was afraid that he was looking for a scapegoat, so this asked his head, and the situation was a little bad. He hurriedly replied: "It's really a fugitive, and everyone else should be able to prove it......
Speaking of this, he pointed to the Tusi leaders who had surrendered with him from the Ming army. For this, he was not afraid to blame, because it was the truth, and he did not lie to King Long. However, when he pointed his finger, he found that the toast leaders did not look at him, but lowered their heads and looked at the ground, their expressions were so focused, as if they wanted to see the flowers on the ground!
Seeing that no one spoke up and took the initiative to prove that he was right, Master Gu couldn't help but be very angry in his heart. However, at this time, he was stared at by King Long, and he couldn't get angry with others first, just a turn in his mind, and then he said: "Your Highness, the reason why today's battle has such a result is because the Ming army defends the city regardless of the cost, Your Highness can rest assured, if the Ming army has been defending like today, I dare to guarantee that Meng Mi's city defense equipment will run out in a few days!" ”
Hearing this, King Talong thought back to today's battle and felt that this was indeed the case. The Ming army at the head of the city is simply a bit of a loser! If you change to command and defend the city, the consumption like today will not be so great until the critical moment of the war, otherwise the equipment for defending the city will be used up, and the result can be imagined. From this point of view, the Ming army in the city really doesn't have much experience in defending the city, and what Gu Zhaoshi said before, I'm afraid there will be no fake!
Although King Talong understood this, he still couldn't get up happy. In today's battle, the loss was really a bit big, and it made him feel a little painful. In order to capture Meng Mi in one fell swoop, the people sent out were all elites! If it takes so many days, where will he get the military strength to continue to deter Zhou Bang?
Thinking like this, his eyes were fixed on Gu Zhaoshi, and suddenly he had an idea, so he said in a cold voice: "Gu Xu'er and others have taken refuge in my cave, and they have given you many benefits. Now that Meng Mi is in the war, you have to do your best to let Gu see your sincerity. In the first battle of tomorrow, you will be the vanguard and take the lead in attacking the city. As long as you win Meng Mi, you will not hesitate to reward you! ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't allow the dove to tell them, and directly threw up his sleeves and left.
At this moment, the Tusi leaders such as the Gu Zhaoshi were a little dumbfounded. They naturally knew how many city-guarding equipment were stored in Mengmi City, anyway, with today's consumption, it would be no problem to support it for another day or two. If he led his troops to attack the city tomorrow, wouldn't he use the lives of his men to consume the Ming army's defense equipment? After a day of fighting, how many more men can you have?
When he took refuge in King Dongwu Talong, didn't he just want to preserve his strength and not want to be wiped out! But in this way, if you really do what King Ta Long asks, wouldn't it be the end of betraying the Ming Dynasty, the same end of the annihilation of the whole army, and the unjust reputation!
At this moment, several toast leaders couldn't help but feel remorseful in their hearts, they had known that if this was the case, it would be better not to surrender! At least prove his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, at least after doing his best, he can retreat to the city! Either way, it's better to defend a city than to siege it! While it's possible that both options will be wiped out, at least the reputation will be preserved.
On this night, many Tusi chieftains wanted to see King Talong again, trying to make him take back his fate. But King Talon had already expected this, anyway, no matter how he asked to see him, he just said: No!
If you don't see it, you can't preach it, and you can't use the reason for thinking about it for a long time, which makes these toast leaders very anxious. At this moment, they probably understood that in the eyes of King Talong, even the people of Dongwu were more valuable than them. Otherwise, driving those people up to attack the city, although the efficiency will be lower, but it can still consume the Ming army's defense materials.
Or maybe the king of Talong still wants them to attack the city well, or he compensates them, and he turns around and sends a decree, saying that the food is full and the siege materials are also replenished as much as possible.
When the dawn came again the next day, King Ta Long still did not meet with the Gu Zhaoshi and their avatar Tusi, but instead sent a team of supervisors, the meaning was self-evident, and the Tusi army such as the Gu Zhaoshi had no choice but to have a full meal, carrying a sufficient amount of siege materials to start the siege.
As soon as they saw these Tusi troops who had surrendered to Dongwu coming to attack the city, all of a sudden, the Ming army at the head of the city did not need orders from officers at all levels, and used twelve points of thought to clean up these traitors. All of a sudden, under the city of Mengmi, corpses piled up.
He Long watched all this from the distant platform, but he only sneered, and did not have a gloomy face like yesterday. He saw that the effect of sending these Tusi troops to attack the city and consuming the materials of the Ming army was really good, and he could see it from a distance with the naked eye, and the consumption of the Ming army's defense equipment today was definitely more than yesterday!
At the end of the day, Meng Mi still did not take it, and on the head of the city, the banner of the Ming Dynasty was still fluttering in the wind. Of the retreating Tusi army, less than half remained. The leaders of the toast, such as the dove master and others, simply wanted to cry without tears! Half of those lost men were killed by the Ming army at the head of Mengmi City, and the other half were corrected by the overseers behind them. At this time, they had already learned the ruthlessness of King Talon. It is foreseeable that tomorrow's siege will definitely be the vanguard of these Tusi troops.
King Talong's meaning is very clear, either the Ming army's defense equipment at the head of the city is consumed, or their Tusi army is consumed, anyway, one side is consumed before it ends.
At the moment of life and death, Gu Zhaoshi and other Tusi leaders could not regret it, and united to make trouble, and strongly asked to meet King Talong.
And the soldiers of the Ming army at the head of Mengmi City were like the people who ate melons, and looked at the camp of the Dongwu army, there was chaos, and they were almost in a hurry.
However, to their little regret, the Dongwu camp did not really catch fire, and after a while, it finally quieted down.
The next day, the Ming army at the head of the city found that those traitors were the first to attack the city. What is a little different from yesterday is that among the traitors, there are a lot of ragged Dongwu soldiers, or not soldiers at all, just Dongwu people with a stick and a spear. Overall, though, there were a lot more people besieging the city than they did yesterday.
For the Ming army at the head of the city, it is the enemy who attacks outside the city, and what they have to do is to kill the enemy and prevent the enemy from landing in the city.
After another day of fighting, King Talong, who was watching the battle, finally smiled, and the Ming army in Mengmi City already showed obvious signs that their city defense equipment was almost exhausted. This amount coincides with the amount provided by the Dove Signmaster before.
