Chapter 150: Langya Mountain without Langya Bang
When the noisy voice on the other side sounded again, Che Yongzhang also closed his eyes again.
Since they have chosen to charge, let Death take them.
Aoshan Wei, Da Songwei, Xiongya. Although it is not necessarily a place where heroes are born, their ancestors also have some achievements worth boasting about.
This gives them the leverage to encourage themselves, but what good can a group of farmers' chips, and chips from historical records?
On the way to their charge, the bows and arrows of the Dengzhou soldiers were still pouring down like a torrential rain. With the addition of a pulley mechanism, the force required to wind the bow and arrow is much smaller, which not only allows ordinary soldiers to use strong bows and crossbows, but also allows already excellent soldiers to shoot more feathered arrows per unit of time, and their physical strength, due to the labor-saving characteristics of the pulley group, is more retained.
As a result, they can shoot more shots, and even if the enemy is already in front of them, their arms still don't feel sore.
For some veteran oilers, the feeling is just fantastic. If there are some players who find that they don't need to play red and blue, they can probably feel their current mood.
Constantly seeing the people around him fall, the leader of the Xiongya Deputy Qianhu was the only high-ranking officer in this battle. The commanders of Da Songwei and Ao Shanwei are not hereditary, and their relationship with the officers and soldiers of the local guard station is not close enough to the point of jointly professing a sect. Relatively high-ranking officers, regardless of the family's cultivation of loyalty or their own level of knowledge, determined that they would not believe in secret sects such as Luo Zujiao and Eastern Mahayana Sect, and follow them to the road of rebellion and rebellion.
Even if the Ming Court had already given up on them, leaving them aside and leaving them to fend for themselves. There are still many people who maintain their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. The people who followed him in rebellion this time did not account for the majority.
The reason why it was used by Li Chunfang for propaganda was just as Che Yongzhang expected, but it was just a means to show that the Ming court had lost the hearts of the people.
Now, however, the capital of this means is rapidly being depleted. If you don't quickly charge in front of enemy archers, the casualties will continue to increase.
Fortunately, they didn't have much distance left. The elite soldiers and strong generals led by Deputy Qianhu. I've come to a place a hundred paces away. If it was a regular bow and arrow, this distance would be enough for them to fire three rounds of arrows. Even if it's a weird bow and arrow that has been modified, you can shoot six rounds at most.
So Deputy Qianhu gritted his teeth, screamed and led everyone to rush forward.
But at this time, Dengzhou soldiers armed with broadswords suddenly appeared on both sides.
Che Yongzhang slowly opened his eyes, looked at the soldiers fighting together not far away, and slowly shook his head.
Now, the group of professional farmers in tattered military uniforms should have seen the hideous smile of death.
They may have forgotten. In front of the archers' formation, there should be infantry protection. Even if the area is densely forested, the talkers should not be so easily encircled.
It seems that the casualties were too large, and their commanders were too eager to take out the archers.
However, this is also in line with Cha Yongzhang's wish, being able to solve the battle so quickly and without causing too much pain is the way of war that he believes in.
Corning stood on a rough road, looking out at the eastern sky. He had a vague feeling. Cha Yongzhang should have started to send good news. And the Red Lotus Sect team under his command is now on its way to Lingshanwei.
Huang Lin supported another batch of cannons and firearms. According to Committee I. Within the Huanglin Group, the equipment is currently being upgraded. Some old equipment, especially those that are easy to place, is not safe to sell in the hands of others, and it is really useless to keep it in the warehouse.
Therefore, Corning has performed well in Shandong. The people who were about to become the targets of Huang Lin's key promotion were given the opportunity to use these weapons.
To this day, Corning doesn't know why Huang Lin believes in himself like this. Perhaps, Huang Lin didn't believe him, but believed in the guy named Li Duo. It is the person who has not given his consent. He planned the first thirty years of his life.
Whether it's Jinyiwei or Blackcoat Society. It's all the things that have been waiting for him on this road for a long time. Even that Shi Ziming, Li Duo has already squeezed in. But Corning doesn't yet know how much such calculations and arrangements will limit his freedom in the future.
If it's serious, then it's likely that things won't be satisfying for some.
But now, all he has to do is take care of the affairs in front of him. Lingshanwei, an acropolis by the sea, is extraordinary.
In fact, all the Davids of the Ming Dynasty were like this. Either you can take advantage of the natural terrain to the extreme, or you can rely on the strength of your own walls to resist possible enemy attacks.
Xiongyasuo City belongs to the latter, as one of the few coastal defense points in Shandong. Xiongya is a square castle with a circumference of 2 kilometers and an area of 375 acres. The city wall is made of rammed earth, covered with blue bricks and stones, and is 5 meters high and 3 meters wide at the top, which is very solid.
However, this rebellion of the Xiongyasuo, not to mention the participation of some people, they did not have the ability to occupy the city of the Xiongyasuo, so they could only fight in the field against Che Yongzhang. If they were given the opportunity to resist the city and hold on, it would be much more troublesome.
And the hard bone of Lingshanwei must be gnawed. A few days ago, after the Red Lotus Sect won a great victory in the weapon battle, Li Chunfang ordered most of the men and horses to withdraw to the Lingshan Acropolis. Corning didn't know what he was trying to do, so he had to send troops as soon as possible and break his deployment first.
But Lingshanwei is not easy to fight.
The mountains and rivers here are steep and deep, and the situation is dangerous. Surrounded by mountains in the northwest, swirling with the sea in the east, Lingshan Island is in front of the screen, the Great Wall of Qi is surrounded in the back, there are two Laos on the left, there are big beads on the right, the mountain road is winding, there is a husband guarding the pass, and the trend of ten thousand people is not open. Shiling Mountain Wei has three front, rear and left offices. The former is Xiahe Village to prepare thousands of households, built a city, so the site is in the Xiahe City, Langya Town, Jiaonan City; The latter is Jiaozhou guarding thousands of households, attached to Jiaozhou City; The left is located in the Acropolis. At the same time, there are 30 beacon piers, 12 coastal castles and 30 military tuns along the coast. Military households are stationed in Tunzhong. The beacon smoke warning is war, and the calm sea is the agriculture. The income from the cultivation of the military cantonment is military expenses, and a part of the money and grain is handed over to the governor's office to pay for the national military salary.
In the early years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's various arrangements can be said to be racking his brains. If you look at it through the eyes of the afterlife. Every meticulous arrangement is the perfect solution. But it was these plans that bought an important foreshadowing for the demise of the major Ming dynasties.
The Ming Dynasty can be said to have a congenital fetal disease, and the acquired treatment is seriously ineffective, and the death of the country is inevitable!
Take the Acropolis of the Lingshan Guard, for example. Even if the advantages of physical geography are used to the point of incomparability, it will not be possible to stop the pace of change of the times and destroy this place.
Wang Qinian was arranging for the followers of the Red Lotus Sect to carry the cannons according to the method explained by Kang Ning.
"One person holds a buckshot, remember to walk steadily on the road, don't be hit on the foot." Listen to his cries. The devotees around him were laughing.
"That powder bag must be wrapped in brown paper, and it must not get into the water. Even if you all become soup chickens, you can't let him get into the water. ”
Another burst of laughter came. In this atmosphere, the faithful lined up to receive the supplies they were going to carry.
Although the Red Lotus Sect is mainly a group of peasants and their fighting quality is not high, they are still capable of hard work. Moving and resisting these things is their strength.
That's how Corning's team works. Slowly moved to the foot of the Lingshan Guard.
However, the barrel and body of the cannon are still struggling on the road. Even if Huang Lin's revolutionary use of modular assembly technology - in fact, it is still a simple disassembly and assembly - cannot change the backwardness of cast iron technology and material science, and bring the obesity problem to the cannon.
Corning didn't expect his march to be the slowest one. When he arrived at the foot of the Acropolis of Lingshan. Che Yongzhang's good news has reached his hands, and Hu Luguang and Lou Jiude seem to have slowly found a sense of cooperation.
As the Laizhou soldiers of the Middle Route Army, they surrounded Jimo before Che Yongzhang. As the base of the Luo Zu Sect, Jimo City was captured at the beginning of the rebellion. Most of the defenders in the city have fled, and most of the nearby residents support the Luo Zu Sect, making it difficult for the Laizhou soldiers and Qingzhou Tuan Lian to find a guide.
Fortunately, the cannon practiced by the Qingzhou regiment soon taught the bandits who defended the city how to behave. They were covered in all kinds of charms. But it still can't withstand the baptism of cannons.
Soon after, Jimo returned to the control of the government. Most of the officials who surrendered and fled were brought back to Jinyiwei by Huo Wu's men to be secretly disposed of.
As for the captives, they will be resettled in a unified manner.
Corning had already thought of a good idea, and the idea of collective farming should be good. Anyway. Even if he used to be an officer and soldier of the guard, he is now a very professional farmer. Let them go to the farm and use their spare heat.
The followers of the Black Lotus Sect in the original farm still enjoyed the original treatment, and they could only be discounted, who let them be idle and bored and have to rebel?
In fact, there are many problems that Kangning has a draft, but the Lingshan Acropolis in front of him still needs time.
Li Chunfang's subordinates in the acropolis saw that the enemy army had moved to the city, but they were not able to attack for a long time, and they were all confused.
But that's fine, who wants to fight the enemy desperately. Besides, the order from Li Chunfang was to hold the Lingshan Acropolis. Since they don't need to attack, they are naturally willing to hide in the city.
It wasn't until two days later that their days of freedom were over.
The cannon that Corning had been hoping for was finally delivered.
Gunpowder and lead bullet were repeatedly stuffed into the barrel of the cannon as if they didn't need money. The walls of the Lingshan Acropolis soon became crumbling. Most of the bandits have given up resistance.
But the gates were still closed, and it was obvious that Kangning and the others were not welcome to enter. Corning decided to temporarily stop shelling.
Honglian asked a little puzzled: "Seeing that the city wall is about to collapse, why stop the shelling and give them time to repair?" ”
Kangning smiled and said, "I bet you, even if they have time, no one will repair the city walls." There are already differences among them, and I'm just giving them time to brew and erupt. Now, you might as well send someone around the Lingshan Acropolis and go behind them to see what they are doing. ”
What's behind Lingshanwei, isn't that the sea? Lingshan Island, floating on the sea, faces each other across Lingshan Bay and Lingshanwei on the mainland.
Red Lotus was startled and said, "Could it be that they are preparing to cross the sea and escape?" ”
Corning sighed and said, "I've thought about it all the way, and it seems that this is the only possibility. And, I'm afraid, they're already in action. ”
To the northeast of Lingshanwei is Jiaozhou Bay and Laoshan Mountain. The Laizhou soldiers, Dengzhou soldiers, and Qingzhou regimental training arrived at this position one after another, and as a result, they soon learned from the bandits that many of Li Chunfang's subordinates had fled by boat.
Although Lou Jiude considered this possibility, after all, the maritime traffic of the Ming Dynasty was subject to policy factors and rarely made achievements. So he sent out this possibility. Unexpectedly, Li Chunfang ran away with underdeveloped sea transportation.
When the news reached Kangning, it was just in time for the Lingshan Acropolis to open its doors and surrender. The reason for this result is that Corning's firepower is fierce, which makes some of the defenders waver. It's because the news that Li Chunfang and others led the crowd to escape has also reached their ears. The defenders felt deceived and became Li Chunfang's outcasts, so they accelerated the original vacillation.
But even so, Corning had no time to pursue Li Chunfang.
"I really didn't expect that. It turned out like this. Turning to a thousand miles, after all, it is too tiring. It's better to take it step by step in the future. ”
Corning sighed as two cavalrymen scrambled to speed down the rugged mountain road. One of them shouted: "Xiahe Village is in an urgent report, and Li Chunfang's traces have been found on Zhaitang Island outside Langya Mountain. ”
The other person ran to him without saying a word, handing over the news that Corning wanted to see the most.
"Fleet, it's a good time!"
This news was that Huang Lin personally led the Ryukyu fleet into the outer waters of Lingshan Bay.
"Now, Li Chunfang can't run away." Corning said excitedly.
The Langya Mountain in the first piece of information is not the Langya Mountain in Chuzhou, Anhui Province, but the more prestigious Langya Mountain in Shandong. There is a legend of Jiang Ziya about the gods, and there are footprints left by Qin Shi Huang. There are also several historical place names that once named after him.
Langya Terrace, Langya County, Langya County, Langya Country.
It's just that there is no Langya Pavilion and Langya Bang. (To be continued.) )
