Chapter 660: Aid 10
>,!
A group of people walked through a heavy building, alarming more than a dozen places! After the sentry post and the patrol, they were finally stopped by more guards in front of a tall hall.
Half a day later, as the flying horses came out, several brain figures in Dongning City also got the news, and had to temporarily interrupt their respective affairs, and gathered here to discuss this sudden issue.
"The Mengshan Army on the Southwest Road is finished,"
"Our layout and operation in Jeolla Province have been in vain since then."
"Tens of thousands of horses, countless money, food, armor,"
"There is still the investment in the flood over the years, is it just gone?"
"Without the strategy and means of this way, the means and planning in other directions have to change."
"What the hell is the other party?"
"Local eyeliner can give back to ......"
"The other party pursued very tightly, and only a few remnants of the Mengshan army escaped"
"It is estimated that the local government has not had time to send the news"
"Then let's hear what the escapees have to say......"
"It's all firearms, and it's all fireworks."
The man kneeling under the hall said intermittently.
"Then the teams were killed, wounded, and fled, and the array team was all scattered."
"Although the Grand Commander reunited several times to resist...... But it's irretrievable."
"Even the horse team of the Mohe people and those Kyushu righteous servants will inevitably be defeated......"
"Good at using firearms, this should be the characteristic of Nanliang"
The people in the audience couldn't help but say
"Could it be that the Divine Machine Army or the Gong Guard Army have intervened?"
"How could they intervene in the affairs of Silla thousands of miles away......
"You are all old yellow calendars, don't forget, there is a Huaidong town on the other side of the sea......"
"Huaidong Town! , how did they end up here,......"
"Does the Great Liang have the heart to re-intervene in the East China Sea domains......
At this time, the last person in the center who did not open his mouth waved them to silence.
"Whatever the means, anyway."
"Those feudal families who are entrenched in the area must be cut off without leaving their hands and tails,"
"In the future, when we take over and dispose of these places, we can be more handy without further trouble."
"Even if for the time being, we have to deal with the people among them who are not in harmony with each other, and they will benefit each other by vain,"
"That's just for. The period of the ultimate great cause. ”
"But our only purpose is to recast the country,"
"Instead of continuing to keep these half-hearted and self-serving dog thieves who can't be raised at all,"
"And continue to let them take charge of the responsibility of shepherding the place."
At this time, there was also a new announcement outside.
"The City of Tears Pass has fallen,"
"Bright light in the world, the ...... of the dead life"
Among the several people seated, a monk dressed as a bald head couldn't help but chant a Buddha name.
Although he was born with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, Kong Wu's powerful body and tense muscles under the brocade robe show that he is not a good person......
Walking along the snow-cleared mountain path, stepping on the ruins that still had residual heat, I slowly climbed the half-cut mountain town that had just been captured.
And the soldiers who were busy like ants were clearing the road through the city. Reverence and obedience are the only things they can say at this moment.
And I can clearly see that in the second half of the still,
shady grain cellars placed under wooden floors, large quantities of firewood and charcoal stored in the recesses of the mountains in advance, arsenals for at least 1,000 people, and wooden channels along the mountain to collect snow melt for use;
All this shows that this group of Mengshan troops is well prepared, as well as its important role and significance here.
And their equipment is good, although it is not neat, but everyone has armor, and even some of them are some iron armor and iron helmets; Each person has a bow and arrow for long-range fire and a knife and gun for melee killing.
This is enough to put aside far away, in the Mengshan army I have seen, those who are not clothed, only a sharpened wooden stick or a rusty knife transformed from farm tools! The rabble, or a wooden board tied to the chest, tied leather or bamboo strips to the body, and held the lid and door panel, the most cannon fodder for protection.
Even those who wore half-tattered leather pockets, or only had an old chest guard, could not be fitted with helmets; Most ordinary soldiers with only a polished spearhead or a slightly better machete axe could not match them.
Even the middle-of-the-middle feudal soldiers of the Kim clan were inferior, that is, the small number of guards directly responsible to the head of the family were comparable.
After all, although there were many of the princes of these local feudal domains, there were many people who were extremely poor and luxurious, and indulged in pleasures, but in terms of the military investment of their own domains, it can only be said that "money is not blown by the wind".
A small but elite guard and a small number of semi-full-time feudal soldiers are the ones who maintain the most daily part-time status.
And when it is necessary to attack each other, they will recruit additional young and strong, simply drill and build weapons in their spare time, and even hire some volunteers from overseas as a short-term participation in the war.
Among them, the feudal soldiers are mainly used to guard, the main members of the feudal family live in the city, or the port and mine are important strongholds that can provide output, and the guard is used to protect the feudal lord in his daily life or on the battlefield.
The conscripted Minzhuang was the main force in the battle, and a small number of overseas servants were used as the first to break through, which constituted the normal daily love and killing of the princes of the Silla Domain.
And in the process, even if it is because of the oppression of a certain feudal family, and the popular uprisings and riots that break out from time to time, relying on these few but elite guards, you can protect the master or important members, retreat under the temporary disadvantage, and then look for foreign help to make a comeback.
Getting rid of the conspiracy and assassination incidents caused by the disputes between the princes, usually the intensity and ceiling of most conflicts and battles are not high, and it is difficult to completely suppress and eliminate the other party that has the city defense to rely on.
The time dragged on a little bit, and after the news leaked, it also gave other external forces the opportunity to intervene and meddle, and let these princes who were holding each other down and entangled, it was not easy to beat the opponent to death, and more or less maintained the bottom limit of being a superior.
For example, the Mengshan Army, which suddenly rose from the sky, had to uproot the defeated feudal family for no reason in one go, which is a very rare thing.
Therefore, although they have the advantage of a narrow victory, and the weather is cold and the snow is deep, there are also condescending people who are well prepared and well-equipped with armor and food.
The civil structure of the mountain castle itself has become the biggest flaw and weakness.
Although it has been precautionary against the wall, it is hung with hoarfrost and ice by splashing water, which makes it difficult for people to climb without leaving their hands, and it can be strong and fireproof and reinforced.
It is estimated that in most cases, even if there are several times the number of soldiers and fierce warriors, it is estimated that they can only sigh in a short time. But what they encountered was my Huaidong Army, the Huaidong Army, which was particularly good at playing with firearms.
Not only does it have a large artillery that can be called a big killer weapon, but also a considerable number of flying fire mines, that is, the Southern Dynasty version of the large Congreve projection rocket.
Although the projection distance of this thing is not stable, and the accuracy is only approximate, it is mainly used to attack large fixed targets such as the city barracks in the sea 6 battle, but it is used to hit a small mountain city whose relative height is actually not high, but it is more than enough.
And it is quite convenient to carry and erect the use, after separating the cartridge from the head, a single person can carry it forward under light clothing, or a horse or a vehicle, there are corresponding conveniences; Once at the position, anything can support the angle and direction of the shot, even a dirt pit.
It's just that in the long-term battle, it was covered up under the brilliance of firearm volleys and artillery bombardment, and it did not play its due role in long-range suppression and battle formation cover. This time, it was only because after the third batch of imitations of Yizhou's military industry was successful, considering the terrain of Silla, which may be needed for combat practice in rugged mountainous terrain, a batch was specially brought out from the sea.
But I didn't expect to open a city here, although the capacity of the skull of the flying fire thunder is limited, but it is filled with refined refined fire oil, and only the source is limited.
After preparing for the impact,
Dozens of smoke and dust flew out in one breath, even if it was only more than half of the direct hit rate, hitting the delayed explosion of the incendiary, once splashed everywhere, the defenders screamed and screamed in the firelight, it was difficult to control the loss of one or the other.
Suddenly, fireworks rolled between the mountains and gorges, and even those ice shells were attached to them, and the brittle cracks of the fire flowed out, and spread to more places.
The mere act of taking turns to push the mountain road upwards was enough to exacerbate the casualties and confusion.
Then, when the other party had no time to take care of it, the lightly armed engineers used large wooden planks to pave a passage through the snow, and then used prefabricated climbing ladders to directly pass through the overlapping places of the mountain road, and under the alternating cover of wooden planks and large rows, they easily climbed over many dangerous places, and quickly approached the mountain city.
By the time the striker team in charge of the assault had already rushed to a distance of enough bombs, the other party could barely react, and it was too late.
During this period, the only casualties were the accident of stepping on the floating snow and falling down the mountain road. And when the burning walls were dug open and a large breach was made, it took less time than I expected to end the battle.
In fact, there is no shortage of brave and brave men in the mountain city, and they have resisted to a considerable extent relying on the buildings, but in terms of experience and resilience in battle, they are much worse than the Huaidong athletes I brought in a hundred battles.
As for the difference in equipment and tactical standards, it is several levels behind. Their dying throes were only a slight delay in the low-hanging fruit.
Most of them were killed by the firearms in the distance of hand-to-hand combat, and the remaining few were pushed and pressed to the edge of the city wall, and then pushed each other and rolled down the cliff.
But after the battlefield was cleaned, whether it was the piles of corpses, or the wounded who were struggling in pain and a small number of dejected captives,
Regardless of the texture, they carry with them a small indistinct stone carving. This is a little surprising.
"They are the evil ...... of Maitreya"
Cui Chengji, who was sweating all over in a hurry, hurriedly explained to me
"One of the main culprits of the turmoil and civil unrest of the Silla Domain......"
Speaking of which, he explained it to me in detail with some gritted teeth.
Maitreya Buddhism was first founded in the period of Emperor Wu of Liang, because Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu blindly believed in the Buddha and indiscriminately practiced Buddha, which led to the flourishing of various Buddhism under the banner of the world.
Among them, Fu Dashi, the founder of the Miller Sect, claimed to be "the master of the two forests to liberate the good and wise", Guanghong Bodhisattva, and Fu Xuande and others under his door.
Since then, the false Maitreya has been born under the banner, and the events of commotion and chaos have come and gone.
And one of them, after being transmitted to Silla through Jang Baogao, became a popular belief among the people of the lower classes, Yidu, as long as the soil is rubbed for incense, three straw sticks are inserted, and the name of Maitreya is called, it can be paid homage anywhere.
Therefore, this kind of threshold is extremely low, which can provide limited spiritual comfort and sustenance, and it is easy to become the object of dependence and seeking by the people at the bottom who are struggling in troubled times and the people are struggling to make a living.
Therefore, although one was banned and suppressed by the feudal lords for the upper echelons, it was still repeatedly banned among the inferior people who were mainly local todo and among the untouchables and savages who drove slaves.
At that time, Zhang Baogao, the thief chieftain, once established the Chishan Fahua Monastery as a missionary center, and spread the ideas of Maitreya among the lower classes, and became his own help.
Zhang Baogao's son, Gong Descendant, is the incarnation of contemporary Miller, and demagoguery and raises the flag of rebellion.
But he didn't expect to meet hidden believers here. Could it be that behind the so-called Mengshan Army, there is also a background of this kind of underground religious association?
This was a bit of a problem, and I couldn't help but look at the feudal soldiers and local servants who were busy on the ruins of the mountain castle.
Underground religions, which are vague and doctrinal for the poor, have always been pretended to be good and harmless or to persuade others to do good, but they have always been easy to become a fertile ground for careerists to gather and spread conspiracies and distort their own selfish desires.
If you add to this the various ethnic factors of Silla, and the contradictions between the old and new natives of the foreign and local feudal lords, it will be even more troublesome, and I don't know how many eyeliners or potential sympathizers there are.
The possibility of accidentally stepping into a muddy pond, and the possibility of affecting me under Huaidong's rule, became more and more troubled.
