Chapter 133: Cave Immortal Ridge
He Changying looked at the cavalry in front of him, and was very happy in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Being able to gather this sentry cavalry before the battle and deepen the results of tomorrow's upcoming ambush battle is obviously of great effect.
The coalition army of the Korean reinforcement army and Yang Jiansheng's battalion was only more than 1,400 people.
In He Changying's view, unless the elite Japanese army of 1,200 soldiers from Shanghu Guards can be ambushed in a 'dead place' with an extremely geographical advantage, it is easy to defeat, annihilate or even completely annihilate, which is almost a fool's dream.
But a guard is not a pig, for the kind of 'natural dead land' similar to a line of sky on both sides and a gourd mouth, if you don't go around and find another way, or send a small group of soldiers to occupy the commanding heights, and if you don't make adequate preparations in advance, you will easily swagger in and get slaughtered?
Therefore, He Changying had already thought about it on the road, and decided to choose a place where the terrain was very advantageous, but it was definitely not the kind of place where 'one man should be able to pass ten thousand people' to ambush the first brigade of a household guard.
"Yang Garrison's infantry camp is just behind, I have already negotiated with Zuo Junmen in Pyongyang before, your sentry is temporarily under the command of Yang Garrison, you send someone to contact them, after packing up, we will go to Dongxian Ridge together tonight."
"Also, all of your horses should be loaded with horse manure bags behind them, and don't let the horse manure be left on the post road in Dongxian Ridge, so as to arouse the vigilance of the Japanese advance sentinels; You bring my words to the Yang garrison, so that the soldiers do not leave anything suspicious along the way. ”
"My lord, can we go out of Pyongyang City to fight the Japanese invaders?"
Liu Guangyan was excited when he heard this, and even the deputy sentry officer Zhang Jingjing and the rest of the cavalry who were listening around him were also happy.
"Why else are we going all this far?"
He Changying asked Liu Guangyan rhetorically, then thought about it and asked, "Have you met with the county guard of Huangzhou City?" ”
"I've seen it, these officials are very obedient, and they all want us to get rid of the Japanese as soon as possible."
Liu Guangyan's face was proud.
"Okay, I'll give you one thing, you tell the county guard of Huangzhou, after the city is closed tonight, within a day tomorrow, the double gates will be closed, and no one is allowed to enter and not go out."
"Okay, my lord, even if you put one hundred and twenty hearts, tomorrow one day, your subordinates will guarantee that not a single mouse will be able to get out of this Huangzhou City."
Liu Guangyan's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest to reassure.
After explaining the matter, because he needed to be in a hurry, He Changying didn't continue to say anything to Liu Guangyan, but just said, 'You will know when you see Yang Guard, and then you must rush to our camp tonight to discuss the war.' He hurried out of Huangzhou City, along the steep slope down the mountain, and headed in the direction of Dongxian Ridge.
Not far from the troops out of Huangzhou City, there is a wide river in front of them, called Chibi River, the river water is clear and shallow, you can wade through the water on foot, and a low stone long bridge connects the two banks.
Seeing that the Korean reinforcements were about to cross the river, the Korean people on the other side of the river hurriedly stopped on the other side of the river and waited, and even the pedestrians who had already walked to the middle of the bridge hurriedly ran to the other side to make way for the Korean reinforcements.
"This Huangzhou Mansion is known as the first important town north of Kaesong, and is known as the 'land of fish and rice';"
Walking beside He Changying, Shen Zhaoao, sighed and said: "Let's not talk about the barrenness and hardship of the people in Huangzhou City, look at this is full of mountains and hills, the terrain is rugged, and occasionally some flat land is planted with sorghum, where is there a little bit of the scenery of the land of fish and rice?" ”
"In this era, a place where people can starve to death in an ordinary year can be called 'the land of fish and rice'."
He Changying said coldly: "Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering; This is a spell that can never be broken in the feudal era! ”
"My lord, the poems you made are so good, and you can explain our hard work in farming in one sentence."
Lu Zhaomei, who was walking behind, looked at He Changying with admiration.
"Pss
Xu Ru, who was following He Changying's ass, couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
"The voice?"
He Changying turned his head in surprise and glanced back at Xu Ru, who was walking with his neck hooked and his head down.
"This was written by Zhang Yanghao."
He Changying glared at Lu Zhaomei behind angrily.
"This Zhang Yanghao really has two brushes, where is he on an errand, is he an adult in our Beiyang?"
Lu Tie, who was walking side by side with Lu Zhaomei, asked He Changying curiously.
Get!
He Changying relied on these two illiterate people.
"Battalion commander, what is the feudal era?"
After He Changying transferred Xu Ru, a Korean who could speak Korean, to the battalion headquarters and became his adjutant, Zuo Shangqing, the deputy squad leader of the medical hall, served as the director of the battalion field hospital, and at this time, the battalion doctors of this team of 16 people were walking in front of the battalion headquarters.
Hearing Zuo Shangqing's question, He Changying smiled and said, "What is the feudal era? It is the era of treating people as slaves. ”
"Then listening to the battalion commander's explanation, there should be another era?"
Shen Zhaoao's eyes flickered and asked.
"Yes!"
He Changying said categorically.
"What's that?"
Suddenly, all the soldiers and officers around pricked up their ears.
He Changying smiled slightly: "The road has to be taken step by step, and now is far from the time to talk about these things; First of all, what we have to do to help the Korean army is to defeat the Japanese army that invaded our subject country, Korea. ”
"Battalion commander, it's a vassal country."
Xu Ru, who was behind He Changying, corrected He Changying's mistake in a low voice.
He Changying didn't seem to hear Xu Ru's words, and roared loudly: "Majestic, high-spirited, cross the Yalu River; Sing! ”
"Majestic, high-spirited, across the Yalu River; To protect peace and defend the motherland is to protect the hometown. ――”
On both sides of the river, the warriors roared at the top of their voices.
The troops crossed the Chibi River, the mountain road was steep and rugged, all the way was full of steep slopes, although it was the season of late summer and early autumn, but there was not much vegetation cover on the mountain, and there were bare ~ large white rocks exposed everywhere, which made people palpitate.
The narrow post road is built between the mountains, and there are steep cliffs on both sides, and the rocks on it are craggy, and from time to time you can see broken large and small gravel on the post road, which obviously fell from the cliffs on both sides.
"it!"
Lu Tie in the back shouted with bull's eyes open: "Are those guys in Pyongyang all stupid? This place gives me a sentry, and if I have enough bullets, I can stop him from ten battalions. ”
"The battalion commander's place is definitely a good place for ambush warfare, just now, this three-mile-long line of sky, one wall at both ends, standing on the top of the mountain on both sides, no need to put guns, only use stones to smash, how many Japanese troops fill in it will definitely make them unable to get out."
Shen Zhaoao was also excited.
"What a failure you deserve as a staff officer!"
He Changying mercilessly reprimanded Shen Zhaoao beside him: "In this kind of dangerous place, it is impossible for the Japanese army not to use a small force to search the cliffs on both sides first, and establish a solid defense line on it and at the exit, so that the large group of men and horses will enter the canyon; Trying to ambush here is a dream! ”
"Now there are only 1,000 troops to aid Korea, and I still have the energy to participate in all the battle plans; If it grows into an army of 10,000, 100,000, or even 1 million people in the future, I will decide at most who to fight, and how to fight is the business of your staff; Can you do this? ”
Shen Zhaoao listened, his face showed a look of shame, and his face was flushed and silent.
While reflecting in my heart, I couldn't help but be fascinated by the temptation of He Changying's sentence of 'army of millions of people'.
If there really will be that day, what kind of magnificent scene will our reinforcement army be like?
