Chapter 209: The First Battle of the Southwest (Part II)

Liang Jishou's battle is amazing.

I have been in the south for a long time, I know the terrain of the south, and it is better in Rongzhou, the weather has not warmed up, and gradually it has gone south, and the weather has gradually warmed up, which is related to the geographical location of the monsoon. Then there is a strange kind of weather, where wherever there is water, there is a thick fog every night.

Divided two hundred warriors, led by the brave general Li Dazhi, climbed the Wangniu Mountains in the south of the Changcao Mountains, there was no cow, nor did it mean to look at the cow, it was the local barbarian language, what did it mean, no one asked. Then he led 1,800 people with some weapons and simple baggage to set off early in the morning, the mountain road was really very steep, the march was very careful, or a veteran under Liang Jishou, and a soldier fell off the cliff because of a mistake and died. I endured a lot of hardships, and in the evening, when the fog rose, I touched the back of Changcaoling.

There was no immediate fortification of the fortifications, and the soldiers were divided into two groups, one for a thousand men, one for a group of swordsmen, a group of archers, and the other eight hundred men stayed in the rear to build the fortifications, and also enveloped the mountain spring that the scouts had spoken of.

This is a very sensible approach, no matter how you say it, it is more than a thousand people, and there is a fog to cover them, so that they can smoothly touch the rear. But with such a big movement, it is impossible for the wingmen on the mountain not to notice it. If all the fortifications are being repaired, taking advantage of the terrain and rushing down at once, it is possible to lose Jingzhou carelessly.

Sure enough, not long after, through the fog, the wingmen on the mountain also heard the movement under the mountain, and immediately sent people down to investigate, knowing that the Tang army touched the rear and even cut off the water source. The bureaucrats on the hill panicked, reorganized, sent some people to continue to guard the cottage, and most of them rushed down.

Then split his head and cover his face, and greeted him with a rain of sharp arrows. There were also wingmen who rushed over. The archer flashed back, and the sharp Mo knife was head-on. These Mo knives can even cut cavalry like watermelons, and these barbarians with low combat effectiveness.

However, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were defended by the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers who could move the Mo Dao, and many troops were forced to cancel the establishment of the Mo Dao Battalion.

I have also fought countless times, and I know one of the characteristics of these wingmen, when the first group of charges, the morale is very high, but they are all quick knife hands, and they shoot when the attack is ineffective. Then obediently retreated, came a few more times, and it all became viagra. Therefore, when engaging them, the first attack must be resisted, and it cannot be counterattacked. It is more effective than Cao Di's polemic.

Sure enough, the first batch of attacks was ineffective, leaving behind more than 200 dead bodies, one by one dumbfounded, shouting, afraid that the Tang Dynasty army would counterattack, all of them ran away and ran to the mountains, and dozens of defeated soldiers actually panicked, lost their direction, and ran towards the Tang Dynasty army.

Repelling the enemy, Liang Jishou did not take credit and continued to build fortifications. When it was almost time, the order was given to take turns on duty, and the other soldiers immediately rested.

Not only did the water source cut off, but the sound of tinkling and ding dong came from the tall mountain overhead in the south. Li Dazhi climbed to the top of the mountain, and there were still some stones, but they were not enough, so he ordered the soldiers to use a sledgehammer to smash the exposed conjoined rocks.

The wingman stayed on the long grass ridge and could only look up. It's not fog, and it's impossible to see what's going on on the top of the mountain from a height of a few hundred meters, but one by one you knows it's not good. So the number of changes overnight made the Tang armies on both sides unable to live in peace.

It was dawn, and the fog gradually lifted.

Liang Jishou saw that it was almost the same time, and began to let his subordinates blow the horn.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the fog dissipated, condescendingly, and seeing clearly, Li Dazhi ordered his subordinates to lift the stone and smash it down. In fact, the two-sided attack cut off the water source, and the wingmen couldn't hold out for long. But Li Wei didn't want to waste time.

This smashed stone village is completely messed up. The main thing is that they are not from the same tribe, so Li Wei repeatedly said that they were so cowardly? Then the later unification of the Southern Zhao will not give the Tang Dynasty a headache. This cowardice is related to the disunity of these Nanzhao tribes. Therefore, in the early stage, when the Tang Dynasty requisitioned the rebel troops of Nanzhao, the soldiers were very few, but they succeeded every time.

The wingmen looked bad, and looked to the northeast, and the big camp under the mountain was a large camp, after all, it was a large camp of more than 10,000 people, and the scale was very large. Looking to the southwest again, there was only a wooden fence except for dozens of simple tents. After thinking about it, it is still possible to fight in the rear. I didn't even want a cottage, and rushed down the mountain in a swarm.

Standing above, Li Dazhi saw it very clearly, and blew the horn again. There was no way to contact him, so he had to use the sound of a horn to ventilate the message, and the long and short clouds were also Li Wei's idea and invented from the flag. It was very appreciated by Pei Xingjian. The Tang Dynasty also had it, but it was not as fine as Li Wei.

Hearing the "trumpet", Li Wei immediately ordered, and Heiya Changzhi rushed towards the mountain with the forward army. There was no resistance, and the stone village was taken down. Then the Black Tooth Tsuneyuki signaled to the army to march up the mountain. At this time, the wingmen were still desperately trying in front of the fence. Originally, the bows and arrows of the Tang Dynasty were many times sharper than the bows and arrows of these wingmen, and even many of them still had arrows made of bamboo. "Bang bang", it is impossible for 10,000 arrows to fly together, but there are hundreds of arrows flying, and many wingmen fall down every time they fly. Some of the wingmen also ran to the fence, but they didn't even climb the fence before they were harvested by the knives sticking out of the fence.

Everyone wants to be greedy for credit, except for a calm and breezy cowman like Pei Xingjian, Hei Tooth Changzhi sent some people to clean the cottage and personally rode a horse down the mountain. was desperate, but when they saw the Tang Dynasty army rushing down behind them, these wingmen were very conscious, threw away their weapons, knelt on the ground and surrendered.

Hei Tooth Changzhi also wanted to show his superb martial arts, and when he saw this situation, he said angrily: "His eldest mother's." ”

But knowing that the prince was benevolent, he had to indignantly cooperate with Liang Jishou to tie up the prisoners of war.

When Li Wei reached the top of the mountain, the battlefield had already begun to be cleaned at the bottom of the mountain. The armor and weapons of the captives were left behind, and even one or two hundred Dian horses, and the bows and arrows shot were to be re-drawn from the dead bodies. Then the remaining nearly a thousand captives were stunned one by one, staring at each other with wide eyes.

But Li Wei almost vomited.

The victory was easy, but the scene under the mountain was not very good. The wingmen who died by the arrow were better, but the wingmen who were cut by the Mo knife were not very good-looking, some of the waists were cut in two, some of their heads were cut off, and some were drilled by the tip of the knife. The intestines and skulls were bloody, and they rolled into a ball, very bloody.

I also saw dead people on Zhongnan Mountain, and I didn't realize it at that time, but I didn't dare to look at the "spectacular" scene in front of me. The prince is benevolent, Pei Xingjian immediately ordered: "Don't bury the body quickly." ”

However, Pei Xingjian didn't care. On the way here, Li Wei asked again how to govern the army with Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, Hei Zhi Changzhi and Liang Jishou. Liang Jishou was defeated, and Hei Tooth Changzhi recently defected to the Tang Dynasty, the problem is not big, and the key is Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian. One is the servant of the Ministry of Officials, the protector of the Western Regions who has been in charge of the Western Regions for many years, and the other is Xue Rengui, the world's first fierce general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, even if Xue Rengui is defeated, he will not necessarily obey Pei Xingjian's arrangement.

Pei Xingjian's answer was still a little foggy, and said: "Your Highness, if the minister and Xue Rengui are the main deputy marshals, they can't be coordinated. However, the boss is His Royal Highness, who dares to disagree. However, General Xue has General Xue's strategy, and his ministers have his ministers' strategy. This needs to be judged by His Highness, His Highness is the axis, and the minister and General Xue are just the axis. ”

I don't really understand, anyway, I understand a little bit, it's unlikely that I want to be lazy all.

Therefore, Pei Xingjian regarded Li Wei as the axis, and didn't want him to charge into battle, let alone let him charge into battle, don't think that the prince is practicing every day. It's just a matter of taking it, so it doesn't matter if you can't watch it or not.

I can't stand it, Li Wei doesn't watch it. Save yourself a moment of spitting it out and let your subordinates see the joke. Back on the slope, two young girls were cooperating with the doctor in the treatment of their injuries. But the princess giggled.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at the weakness of the prince."

Li Wei said solemnly: "It's not weakness. War will eventually kill people, and this is a means of necessity. Therefore, our Han grandson once said that soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. The country needs the bloody struggle of its warriors, but it cannot bring it into the way of statecraft. Otherwise, it will become the Qin Dynasty, and if it is a big dynasty, it will only fall in a few days. Governing the country requires benevolence and people-oriented. Whether it is for the people or the people in the area, benevolence is the highest criterion! ”

The little girl listened and thought for a long time, but was speechless.

But Li Wei's words quickly spread, and the morale was high under the big victory. Many of these soldiers were soldiers from the southern states, and some of them were warriors from the state of bondage, and they were very moved when they heard it. This is a good prince, the heart is already belonging, and under the excitement, shout long live the prince together (before the Song Dynasty, long live was not a special title for the emperor, but the people used it to vent their inner excitement, even if the object of the title was an ordinary person, the emperor was helpless, although many emperors wanted to take it for themselves, especially Wu Zetian).

But Li Wei's face was not very good when he heard it.

The cheers stopped, and the princess said, "The prince is really a good prince. The subjects want to play a flute for you. ”

"Okay."

I blew another song, and it was very exciting.

Of course, they made great achievements in this battle, and they were little girls who had nothing to do, and no soldiers cared about what she said. The flute stopped, and Li Wei asked, "How old are you this year?" ”

"The subject is sixteen years old."

"Can you be married?"

"I got married last fall, but my husband has been arrested and caught on the other side of the Jinsha River, and I don't know where I am."

"It's a pity, when the war is over, Lone sent someone to find his whereabouts." It was a reward for her credit, and said: "If you can't hear the whereabouts, you can see if you can come to Chang'an in the future." Lone may send someone to take care of your sisters, as you wish. There are many sons and daughters of good families in Chang'an City. ”

"Prince, thank you, my husband is very good, and the subjects don't want to look for anyone else." The little girl refused.

Li Wei did not persuade again, and after a while, dozens of women who had been taken captive were also found out from the stockade and called the people of the nearby village to claim them. But some women have been tortured to death. These barbarians were fierce and simple-minded, and in a fit of rage, they lifted stones and threw them at their captives.

Li Wei immediately ordered someone to stop him, and used some property on the mountain as compensation, and the villagers left with great gratitude. Then the interrogation began, and it became clear that the soldiers were all from tribes west of the Jinsha River. Meng Jian also named Shun Dayan, the leader of the leader, as the generalissimo of the expedition to the east. Li Wei and Pei Xingjian glanced at each other, the generalissimo couldn't take it seriously, and Meng Jian used them as cannon fodder. However, I also got some news, and it was proved from their mouths that the Tibetan army disguised itself as their tribal warriors and conquered the city of Yaozhou. Now the Tibetans have sent another group of soldiers to lurk. As for how many people were sent, Shun Dayan didn't know.

The news doesn't work very well. And a headache arose, how to arrange these captives. It's not the prince, or kill or send, it's very easy to arrange. But the prince has a good heart, and he can't be like Xue Rengui, digging a hole in the ground for prisoners of war and burying them. But you can't let it go, and if you put it, you will let the tiger return to the mountain.

Even Pei Xingjian's eyes looked at Li Wei. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***.***) to vote for recommendation, ***, your support is my biggest motivation. )
