Chapter 132: Luo Ding
The total attack began. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn fact, from a military point of view, this is not the right time to send troops, the main reason is that the weather is too hot. From a military point of view, it is clear that waiting until the autumn is cool is not suitable for large-scale operations. However, the autumn season is imminent, and Ling Yunyi, the governor of Liangguang, obviously wants to end the war before the big test, and those who serve as soldiers can only obey orders.
The sound of gongs and drums, trumpets and cannons, and shouts of killing sounded in the forest, and the beacon smoke filled the air, and the fire spread. Blood and fire, life and death, love and hate...... In the cold blade, everything is over. The final contest between the natives in the mountains and the powerful foreign enemies kicked off.
In the dark night, the flames were burning happily, and the flames dancing with the wind were like demons who had been cultivating in the mountains for many years and finally broke through the seal, dancing and enjoying the great drama of cannibalism.
The battle between the attackers and the defenders, the natives and the visitors, lasted from day to night, and reached its climax.
Because the night is not conducive to mastering the troops, the superiority of the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers in terms of equipment and organization will be weakened to the extreme at night, compared to the natives, although the natives are also affected, but they have little organization to speak of, this impact is not too serious. When night fell, the remnants of the natives poured out of the nest and rushed towards the Ming army all over the mountains.
The barbarians who were in absolute superiority in terms of numbers were like waves, smashing down wave after wave, while the Ming army was like a reef, welcoming wave after wave of washing, no matter how high the waves were, the reef was as immobile as a mountain. The waves smashed against the rocks and tore apart, but the reef was still strong.
The wind blew with the smell of burning, blood, and corpses. A little closer to the firelight, hideous and painful faces could be seen. The owners of these faces, a few of whom were dressed in mandarin duck battle jackets, most of them were unclothed, and their bodies were painted with animal or ghost figures, which were either inserted with arrows, or destroyed by swords, guns, or other wounds, and the blood had dried up and congealed. These ghosts or beasts, lifeless, lay motionless with their masters, their eyes wide open and their expressions hideous.
Figures are shaking, footsteps are staggering, moving forward or backward. The boiling sound of killing and gongs and drums spread among the mountains and forests. The noose was tightened to the last link, and the natives took out the courage of moths to fight the fire, and closed the curtain in the most gorgeous way.
This night attack can be seen as a manifestation of Pansheng's military talent, he chose the right time, the Ming army was divided into ten outposts before the combined attack, each performing their duties and cooperating with each other, the counterattack of the natives is actually no different from sending them to death. After the order to attack was issued, this coordination no longer existed.
The officers of each battalion wanted to cut off more heads to make meritorious contributions, or go to the cave to find the wealth of the natives and young women. The attack of the ten battalion heads turned into a rush for merit, and whoever broke through a hole first could make an extra fortune, and the armies were nominally friendly forces, but in fact they were fighting on their own.
Although the total strength of the Ming army is more than that of the natives, a single battalion will be lonely when it encounters an all-out attack by the natives, and it is difficult to expect to get friendly support in a short period of time, and at most they can only blame their own bad fate.
At night, the vision is affected, the power of bows and arrows or firearms is greatly weakened, and the guns are also lit, but the actual killing is not good. You can only see the angry faces of the mountain people and the eyes of the resolute death in the firelight. The Ming army, under the leadership of the officer, also put down their firearms, raised their swords and guns, and launched a white attack on the other side.
Mountain warfare is different from that of the plains, and the officers and soldiers cannot be displayed in the main formation. Due to the terrain problems, they can only fight with the natives in a small troop cooperation mode, and even occasionally turn into a crush-and-tear mode. Because they have been stationed in the mountains for nearly a year, they have already adapted to the terrain and environment, and the experience summed up by the Ming army in the previous war against the Japanese, the Ming army has developed a squad cooperation formation for this situation. A dozen soldiers formed a team, and each other matched with long and short weapons, and a small group of soldiers could resist the natives who were several times their number.
The men in the mountains are not lacking in martial arts, the treacherous environment has forged their strong physique, and the men who fight with fierce beasts have enough strength and courage to boast. However, they are not good at fighting, at most they have experience in hunting, but this cooperation must be based on acquaintances.
.
In this kind of rushing of thousands of people, it is not easy to find acquaintances, even if they charge together, when they come to the front of the battle, they may have changed to unfamiliar faces around them, and in the end they can only rely on themselves.
The tall man shouted and swung out the stone axe, the Ming army on the opposite side raised his shield, the weapon fell on the shield, making a tooth-aching crunching sound, the soldier's body was slightly shorter, but the big man's body was also vigorously knocked backwards and withdrew.
The man who attacked with the Han raised the wooden stick in his hand after an axe and decided to follow up, not wanting the Ming army's two spears to stab out, and had already protected the shield soldiers, the Han parried left and right, sealing all the attack routes of his companions, and the others could only bypass him and wrap up the Ming army from the flank. But the sword and shield soldier was already rolling on the ground, and the knife slashed at the man's leg.
In a miserable scream, the big man with the wooden stick had fallen to the ground, his left leg was cut off from the knee down, the big man with the stone axe rushed again, the sword and shield soldiers still raised the shield and connected it, in a roar, the soldier did not move, but the big man's stone axe had already been shot. A long spear was like a poisonous snake spitting letters, piercing the big man's chest, and the man's big hand clutched the barrel of the gun, but he could only watch the soldier pull the gun out effortlessly, and his body fell down uncontrollably.
"What if...... Being able to eat enough, it won't be like this. "The man who was called a strong man by the mountain people, when he was dying, only this sentence flashed in his mind, and he died in the hands of someone weaker than himself, and he couldn't turn a blind eye.
The long-term hunger and lack of salt have greatly reduced the physical fitness of the mountain people, not only this big man, but all the people who rushed out tonight are actually the same.
From last winter, there was a shortage of food in the mountains, and in the spring, there was an official shortage of food. In order to survive, they hunt prey, eat grass root bark, eat mice, and eat dirt...... Until cannibalism. As long as they can survive, everything that can be used as food will be filled in their stomachs, but in the face of a huge population base of tens of thousands of people, these means can only be regarded as a drop in the barrel.
What is worse than the lack of grain is the lack of salt, under the strict blockade of the government, the salt flowing into the mountains in the past half a year adds up to less than 100 catties, and it is pitiful when it is spread out on everyone's head. Even in the battle of life and death, he knows that defeat is a dead end, but his body, which lacks food and salt, still cannot perform to the level it should have.
After holding out for a day, the only thing that supported them to launch a night attack was Blood Bravery, and the devotion to the gods plus the awareness that they would die if they were defeated and that their wives and daughters could not be saved. But these things can't replace physical fitness, when the Ming army is not timid in the face of white-knuckle warfare, these brave mountain men can only end up with hatred.
The night wind blew blood, and more than a dozen mountain people surrounded four or five Ming troops to attack, but the men with guns in the Ming army were like gods, and their spears were like dragons, rolling like angry waves, and the besiegers not only did not have the upper hand, but fell down without standing upright. The officer, who was sprayed with blood, looked hideous and terrifying. But for him and his own soldiers, this can only be regarded as commonplace.
With a loud shout, the only man in the earth who had made the iron knife was shot away, and the man spurted blood in the air and rolled into the darkness with a strange scream. With his fall, the entire besieging team dispersed, but was calmly harvested by several officers and soldiers with knives.
With his hand wiped indiscriminately on his face, and wiped his hands on his robe again, Chen Lan laughed and said, "How many people are amazing? A group of soft-footed shrimp, soft hands and feet, no strength at all, they stayed in the cave, I was still in some trouble, and now I ran out to die, but it saved my hands and feet. While the other battalions haven't come yet, cut down a few more heads to receive the reward! Tell the sons and daughters, give me a stare at the death, his head is worth five hundred taels! ”
The soldiers around him knew the character of the commander, waved their knives and followed the commander to rush forward, and said in a low voice: "The two nearby posts refuse to send troops to rescue, so you can't forget it." ”
"A bird? My good brother Fan Weisi is by the side of the army, with him, if I don't peel off the skin of Zhenwu and Fenwei, I won't be surnamed Chen. Everyone fights well, things that harm people, scholars are better at it, don't worry. Come on, go to the handsome tent to report the victory. ”
Fan Jin's commander-in-chief's camp is actually quite far from the front line, although Ling Yunyi is on the front line, but this kind of presence does not mean that he is stubborn and stubborn and fights in the front, if it really reaches that point, the Ming army will be completely finished. He and his staff, under the protection of the standard battalion, formulated strategies and issued orders in the rear, and the biggest role was to reassure the soldiers: The officials are all in the mountains, what else do you have to complain about?
The lights in the tent were bright, and the sound of silk and bamboo permeated the entire camp through the thick cowhide tent. More than a dozen trembling women danced to the sound of music with jerky and clumsy steps.
They are not very old, their physical fitness is good, and some of them were once brave and good female warriors in the tribe, and they have basic qualities, but they have not been trained in dance performance, and the dances they dance actually do not have much beauty at all, nor do they have appreciation. Ling Yunyi didn't like this kind of dance either, all he wanted to see was the surrender of the natives.
From the beginning of the battle, female captives were captured one after another, among whom the fierce ones either committed suicide or were killed, and basically died, and the rest of them, regardless of their former identities, have now succumbed. In order to survive, they can do camping and performing songs and dances for their enemies. There is no hatred in his eyes, and there is no clear spirit in the past, all that is left is fear and worry, for fear that if he does something wrong, he will cause a catastrophe.
A woman in a small dress knelt in front of the chessboard, holding the silver plate high above her head, and in the silver plate were placed dozens of peeled lychees, crystal clear and full of flesh. Playing in front of the chessboard, young and old, both eyes glued to the chessboard, sometimes grabbing a lychee and putting it in their mouths.
The military situation is like fire, and the soldiers who reported the news constantly reported the military situation on the front line, including the siege of Chen Luan's troops, and the surrounding troops because they were unable to rescue behind the enemy, but no one of the old and the young took the matter to heart.
Ling Yunyi sent a thousand pacesetters as reinforcements to respond, considering that it was difficult to walk in the dark, whether it could be used on top, no one could say in fact. But this little accident did not affect the overall situation, and he not only won this game, but also won it beautifully.
Luoshanman has a total population of nearly 100,000 and is at risk of high mountains and dense forests, and has been harming western Guangdong for nearly 100 years. This time, it was completely solved with only 30,000 officers and soldiers, and the losses of officers and soldiers were very small, which is already an immortal achievement, which is enough to compare with Zeng Shengwu to break the Nine Silk Mountain. Compared with Yin Zhengmao's 100,000 troops in South Australia before, his record is much better.
Drinking water and thinking about the source, Ling Yunyi must admit that without Fan Jin in front of him, even if he can win, it is impossible for him to win so easily.
From the previous layout, to winning public opinion, and then to after the outbreak of the war, Fanzhuang carried grain, vegetables and fruits to ensure logistics supply. Even popularized epidemic prevention knowledge in the army, drank boiled water and ate hot food, paid attention to personal and environmental hygiene, ensured that the barracks were clean and tidy, and disposed of corpses to isolate the sick number, and then let the forest witch bring cinchona trees and artemisia annua to fight malaria, so that the plague would no longer be an obstacle. It is necessary to formulate a system for rotational combat training and defense change to ensure that the troops will not lose their combat effectiveness due to the fatigue of veteran divisions. If these credits are calculated carefully, it is more than enough to protect his official position. But Fan Jin didn't accept it all, and would rather give such a great achievement to other staff members or Chen Luan Sa Shizhong and others, which is also what Fan Jin is most satisfied with Ling Yunyi: not fighting for merit.
Due to Fan Jin's low profile, his credit is not known, and many people only regard him as a helper. However, everyone in the high-level circle knew that Fan Jin was actually half of Ling Yunyi's arm, and some people even suggested that Fan Jin should not end up in this section and serve the army for a few more years, but this proposal was directly slapped back by Ling Yunyi.
The old man fell down and said with a smile: "If this step falls, you can almost see the difference." Thinking back, a chess friend like you, I'm afraid it will not be easy to find in the future, and the old man will not be able to find an opponent if he wants to play chess. ”
"Dong Weng is polite, Guangdong is full of talents, Dong Weng wants to play chess, and he doesn't have to worry about finding a suitable opponent. Students can't actually use this bit of chess power, and they can't go to the elegant hall. ”
"You're too humble. I know that your chess skills are far above mine, and you have always let me be an old man. The chessboard in Guangdong is too small, and it can't actually show your chess strength, and when you come to the court in the future, it's the time for you to show your means. Do a good job, let people also see, Guangdong is not a place of miasma, the same talent. ”
He paused and ate another lychee, "The battle is over, and there are still many things to do." Reporting war exploits, counting gains, casualties, and nuclear salaries, these things need to be handled by a talent like you, but ...... I can't delay you any longer. There is not much time left before the autumn season, and when the battle is over, I want you to write a letter, and after writing, you will go back to Guangzhou to prepare for the end. You have a relationship with the forest witch, so it's not difficult to borrow a boat from her, right? ”
Seeing Fan Jin nodding, Ling Yunyi said: "That's the best, if you miss your career for my business, the old man won't be able to go down in his heart." The old man is in the name of the department, he is your predecessor, and he has some experience in the science field, so he has nothing to do, so he uses it to pass the time, you just think of it as an old pedant talking about boring things. ”
Fan Jin hurriedly said: "The students all rely on Dong Weng's cultivation, and your teachings must be kept in mind by the students." ”
"There are three exams in the autumn, and each exam is one day. The most important of these is the first one, and the first and most important are the first three articles. You must know that there are only a few people in the main examination plus the same exam, and there are thousands of papers to read. So even if you are behind all the ghost drawings, the first three articles must be made of flowers, so that they look good. Your old man Wenmo has believed it, but as soon as you enter, you have to talk about some techniques. Do the first article first, then the third one, and finally the second one. Because the first article has the most energy and the best writing, the examiner will be happy when he sees it. The second and third articles went down, one was worse than the other, and there was no spirit again. If you do this, it's worse first, but the third one is good, and he won't stop recording it. ”
"In the second scene, we should make an argument, sentence five ways, and any one of edicts, edicts, and tables. You have already experienced it in the judgment, much better than other students, as for the expression, the title of this subject in Guangdong, is naturally Luoding Prefecture, or Pingluo Shanman, which is also your specialty. ”
"The third scene is to make a strategic discussion. A group of people, what kind of high arguments can they make, just deal with it randomly. You don't have to think about what you can do in terms of strategy, no one looks at it, as long as it doesn't go out of line. You helped the old man with military affairs, delayed a lot of schoolwork, and the old man can't let you suffer. It's just that Qiu Yu is the most important justice in the national talent ceremony, and the old man can't interfere, he can only help you so much, and the rest is up to you. Remember, the exam room is the fairest place, and if you give a point, it will reward you with a point, and it won't let you waste your time. ”
