Chapter 42: Conquering the Boundary Field (1)

Xinqiao Town has just gone through a bloody cleansing, with a musket platoon as the main force, a musket platoon to suppress the formation, and a Class B war knife platoon to cover, plus the intelligence of the Heaven and Earth Society, almost without any loss, it took several high-rise mansions in the town, and shot dozens of landlords' armed watchmen.

"Boss, our next target is not Xinlong Street in front."

In the four towns in a row, all the recruit platoons took turns to fight once, alternately pressing the formation once, the combat effectiveness was further strengthened, and the cooperation was better.

It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much actual combat training, but to pull training, so Yang Dongfang shook his head:

"No, from now on, our goal is to the west, if we take Xinlong Street, this old guy Tang Yougeng will really tear us up, maybe he will really send troops to attack the mountain."

After Xinlong Street, the mountain situation to the east is getting more and more gentle, and at the same time, it is closer to the county seat, which will form a threat, and Tang Yougeng will not ignore it, so Yang Dongfang does not plan to expand to the east for the time being, but first to the west, and take the entire Tieshan Mountain area as his sphere of influence.

Once the cleanup of these places is completed, then even if Luo Bingzhang sends 100,000 troops to besiege them on all sides in the future, there will be a place to fight.

At the same time, the goal of cleaning up Sixiang this time has also been achieved, which confirms the current strategy and tactics of Tang Yougeng and Luo Bingzhang, and Wang Huzi is the big problem.

After taking the new bridge, the New People's Army returned to Heishan Tsui to rest for two days, and then left one company to guard the mountain, while the rest of the men went west.

With a platoon of a company's troops, attack from Huangjinggou, clean up the mountain king, take a new field with a company, and then two companies join forces to attack a bandit cottage called Heidukou in the south, where you can monitor and guard Weiyuan County to the south.

At the same time, he sent a company to clean up Yuexi, and then to the south to clean up Dongxing, and finally the three companies combined to sweep away the bandits and Lulu (the predecessor of the Pao Gehui, a group of guys who killed people and goods. ）。

All of a sudden, the guns in the villages in the mountains fluctuated, and the heads of the evil people continued to fall to the ground, which made the bandits and the Lulu frightened.

A small number of them surrendered directly to the New People's Army, and the rest fled west to other counties to continue to be a troublemaker, and the landlords and old rich people also got the gossip in advance, and they were scared half to death, and they packed up and went to the county seat, not daring to go back to the countryside.

Therefore, soon the three companies of the New People's Army turned around from west to north and took over 28 townships and 47 villages in Tieshan, including Molin, Shunhe, Shuanggu, Xiaohe, and Lianghe, and the basic income was under the edge of the New People's Army.

Wherever the New People's Army went, it was followed by Zeng Shihe's unity team, Zeng Shihe, as an old staff member, was a first-class master in charge of civil affairs, and he could do it casually as soon as he sorted out the small village laid down by Yang Dongfang, and quickly pacified the people.

Intimidated by the prestige of the New People's Army, in addition to some evils for the way of heaven, first of all, he upheld justice, avenged some people, and judged the evil, and second, he coerced those landlords who still had a little conscience to reduce rents and interest rates, and did not harm these people at will.

Third, to further publicize the basic rules of conduct of the New People's Army, etc., and at the same time accept those who are interested in joining the New People's Army, and then bring them back to the cottage with them.

Of course, secretly, the New People's Army's own intelligence personnel also followed all the way, spreading and buying shops, and even instigating some landlords to secretly join in, promising benefits and striving not to cause trouble for the various activities of the New People's Army in the future.

The expansion was completed to the east and west, and the information of the Heaven and Earth Society came, saying that Wang Huzi could not go south, and wanted to cross the Minjiang River to send a section to fight Zigong, but was blocked, and prepared to retreat west to Yunnan.

And Luo Bingzhang sent Liu Yuezhao to block the road to the southeast, and the Chengdu general Wanyan Chongshi also sent a Tidu to gather an army on the front line of Leshan, and it firmly blocked the road to the north, the bridge along the river was cut off and occupied, the boats were also confiscated, and Wang Huzi was wrapped into dumplings.

So Hong Ming made an appointment to meet Yang Dongfang several times, hoping that he would pull the flag and rebel.

After going up the mountain this time, he said directly: "Lord Yangzhai, can you attack from the mountains and forests in the west to take Rong County, break Tang Yougeng's defense line, and then attack Qianwei at the same time, and take Wang Huzi into the Chengdu Plain."

Once Wang Huzi enters the Chengdu Plain, it will definitely be a response at that time, and the clouds will be gathered, and your new national army will inevitably be the first merit. ”

For this proposal, Yang Dongfang and several people scoffed at this, joking, sacrificing themselves to fulfill others, and asking Wang Huzi, a great god, to come to the mountains to be the emperor for himself, Yang Dongfang has not been stupid to such a point.

On the contrary, Yang Dongfang and others are planning to clear the north of Heishan Tsui, and the east and west sides have almost expanded, and the entire Iron Mountain is just a boundary field to the north.

Lianjiechang belongs to the intersection of the three counties, is a big town, there are many big households in the town, the landlord armed force is extremely strong, earlier Tang Yougeng sent two battalions of men and horses to strengthen the defense here, in order to be afraid that the New People's Army will control the entire mountainous area, which can be regarded as a wedge for the future sweep and sweeping.

Originally, even the boundary field was exposed in front of Heishanzui, the straight-line distance was not far, and it had not moved, first, because he was afraid that Tang Yougeng would come to tear him up in advance, and secondly, the recruits were not strong in combat, and they had not yet reached the point of a complete battle with the Qing army, so they stayed at the end to gnaw.

After almost a month of training, the combat strength of the four platoons was further strengthened, and the coordination and cooperation in all aspects were also prepared, so while Tang Yougeng and the Qing army were focusing on Wang Huzi's body, it was decided to take action against the Lianjie Field.

Yang Dongfang shook his head and said, "Brother Hong, you think too highly of me and Wang Huzi, can this person of mine defeat Rong County?" Even if you can fight, can you break through the river defense? ”

"Even if we can do it, do you dare to guarantee that Wang Huzi's men and horses will be able to fight and converge, is there any chaos in his army? Also, I want to remind Brother Hong, this is how Li Lan attacked Neijiang Mansion back then, do you think Luo Bingzhang and these Hunan under him will not be more vigilant and vigilant, and will repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

Hong Ming was dumbfounded, and Yang Dongfang said: "Brother Hong, our New People's Army is ready to fight the company's boundary. ”

"Hit the boundary."

Hong Ming's originally dejected face became extremely excited, and a pair of eyes flashed with a bright light.

The boundary site is located in the north-central part of the Tieshan Mountains, and is rich in coal, bauxite and white iron ore resources. According to the records of "Qianwei Zhi", "Jiazhou Zhi" and "Zizhou Zhi", as far back as the Warring States Period, Lianjie iron smelting workshops and trading shops were dotted.

After Liu Bei entered Shu, Zhuge Liang sent a smelting officer to set up a smelting shed in the company, which has always been a smelting place for military management, with a garrison and countless forts, and a very strong defense.

Its strategic value is more important than that of ordinary county seats, so it is not so easy to attack, and what is more difficult is that the boundary field is built on the ridge, and the street buildings are spread out on both sides, no matter which side of the attack is from the back, exposed to the enemy's edge.

This is also one of the other reasons why Yang Dongfang has not moved it.

"Therefore, it is not advisable to storm the boundary field, and besides, the Qing soldiers inside are many times more than us."

"Then we'll get in and fight inside and out."

Hong Ming of the Heaven and Earth Society was a hundred welcome and agreed that Yang Dongfang wanted to fight the Lianjie Field, but at this time, he said: "This may not work, according to our people's reports, the guards of the Lianjie Field are very strict, and it is not easy to blend in, and unfamiliar faces can easily arouse suspicion." ”

"Aren't there many people in your heaven and earth? Otherwise, let them cooperate with us inside, just take the city cave. The fat man said, but Hong Ming said:

"Still not, because your recent actions have aroused the vigilance of the Lianjiechang, those deep-rooted old rich people let their militia parade through the streets every day, even if they want to support you, I am afraid that they will expose their intentions to attack the Lianjiechang in advance."

In fact, Hong Ming didn't say a word, that is, even the Qing court power and the power of the landlords and squires in the boundary field are extremely strong, the influence of the Heaven and Earth Society is relatively weak, and there are not a few congregations, so this kind of family ugliness naturally can't be said to be embarrassed.
