The Battle of the River Valley was the most untechnical battle that the Ming army had ever fought since Xie Hong was in charge. 【Reading.com】

There is no cooperation between each other, no new weapons, and no clever schemes. The natives were still fighting, and rushed up in chaos, and the chengguan lined up a somewhat inclined horizontal team, and stepped forward to meet the battle in a mess, not so much an array battle, but a large-scale group fight, but the weapons used were all lethal, and the number of people was also a little more.

The number of natives is relatively large, and in addition to the people who defend on the flanks and in the rear, there are at least nearly 30,000 people on the frontal battlefield, but it is not only the number of people who decide the outcome of the group fight.

What's more, the terrain of the river valley is not very wide, and the command methods of the natives are not very clever, so they cannot give full play to their numerical advantages, all they can do is to urge the clansmen around them to constantly rush forward and fill the gap formed by casualties in front.

In this way, it becomes the individual combat power that determines the outcome of the battle.

The former scourge all had similar experiences to Su Yan's team, and the pressure brought to them by Xie Hong and the beautiful vision promised to them formed a powerful driving force. Soon, the newcomers who first entered the battlefield forgot about the tension and devoted themselves to this battle of fate.

They threw away their shields one after another, and with knives in both hands, they condescendingly slashed at the opponents in front of them. Originally, the northerners were relatively taller, and the southerners were smaller.

The fog in the valley has completely dissipated, and the sun is getting hotter and hotter, although the momentum of the initial shield array impact has not been maintained, but the advantage of the Ming army is still obvious.

Wang Hai held the binoculars, while watching the battle, he asked Yang Min for a plan: "One person is desperate and unstoppable, Hou Ye's explanation is really not bad, Brother Yang, everything is going well, the battle situation has been stalemate, the most worrying situation will not appear, now, it should be a good time to launch a full-scale launch, right?" ”

"Almost." Yang Min nodded, thought about it, and denied his statement: "However, it's better to wait, now it can only be regarded as a shallow battle, the natives haven't realized how tenacious the enemy in front of them is, and the chengguan side may not last." If it is launched in full force immediately, it may not necessarily bring despair to the natives, but may also make them completely crazy. ”

Brother Yang was worried, but before the ...... war, Wang Hai had always behaved very calmly, but if you pay attention to the results of the battle, I am afraid he is the one with the highest degree.

The maritime merchants were thinking about how to gain more contributions, and they wished that the natives would succeed in breaking through and disperse again. The early sweep station gave them a taste of the sweetness, especially those who had participated in the counterinsurgency, and they found that in just two months, the contribution they had obtained was far higher than that of the counterinsurgency!

The rebellion of the vassal king, in the Ming Dynasty is a rare thing that is rare in a hundred years, the impact is far-reaching, can shake the world, according to the usual practice, the rebellion is enough to create a large number of upstarts, however, there are those who are more serious, after quantifying the overall credit with the degree of contribution, and compare, but they are surprised to find that the contribution of the rebellion is far less than those that have been issued by the Luzon development plan.

Obviously, the Ming Dynasty's national policy of emphasizing the inside over the outside has been completely reversed, and overseas is where people with lofty ideals come into play.

The city managers looked at the black and oppressive local people, and felt a little disgusting and a little frightened. But in the eyes of the merchants, those black and thin guys are tantamount to walking gold, which makes them salivate.

Wang Hai is the governor, and he certainly won't think about things from the same perspective as ordinary merchants, and it would be more neat to use this method to destroy the natives than to let the merchants sweep away. As long as the main force of the natives is annihilated, the rest, even if there is sporadic resistance, will not hinder the overall situation.

After pacifying the place, the next step is to start construction, Luzon is rich in products, there is no shortage of anything, and the colonial army has enough manpower and technical support, as long as it is a short time, it can see results.

You know, he, as a governor, also has pursuits. The Ming Dynasty's management of overseas colonies was based on political merit. The so-called political performance is the amount of tax paid, and the larger the amount, the higher the political performance, and the higher the contribution that the local governor's office can receive.

As the first governor of the South China Seas, Wang Hai consciously has taken advantage of the time and place, if the construction plan is delayed because of the indigenous issue, then he really wants to cry without tears, even if the Hou Ye is generous, but the label of incompetence is still attached to his head, and the future ...... Uh, what's the future? If that's the case, he'd love to hit his head and die.

"Brother Wang, if you care about it, it's messy." Yang Min chuckled softly.

He easily peeked into the thoughts of his companions, in fact, he was also quite anxious, his position had already been booked, and he was the governor of Manga. According to the instructions of the Hou Ye, it was more important than Luzon, because it was the only way to go west, and it could be called the western gate of the South Seas.

At the same time, the situation there was also more complicated, with the kingdoms of Champa, Siam, and Annam in the north, Sumatra in the south, and Tianzhu and Xifan in the west. With so many forces here, the sooner and more comprehensive the strategy, the better, if it wasn't for the step-by-step progress, he really wanted to lead a fleet and take the long and narrow strait.

However, he also knows very well that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and if he is not fully prepared, he will only fall into the quagmire, and he is the right way to do it step by step, and the most important thing now is to manage Luzon as a foothold.

"In this kind of battle, it is impossible to distinguish victory and defeat in a short period of time......," he explained to the battlefield, pointing to the battlefield: "Because both sides have no command, even if there are flaws and fighters, no one can grasp them, and they can only fight each other endlessly, until one side, or the morale of both sides is exhausted, and the victory and defeat can be determined." ”

He sneered: "The natives are not good at fighting, but now they are just in a desperate situation, and they are just dying and struggling. A slight defeat in such a war of attrition will not affect their fighting spirit, but if it takes a long time, their morale will become low, and when the time comes to give them a heavy blow, they will presumably not be able to resist. ”

Zheng Long nodded and agreed: "What Brother Yang said is that it is nearly 50,000 young people, and it would be a pity if they were all killed." ”

Yang Min added: "If Brother Wang is still not at ease, then urge the soldiers and horses south of the valley to march as soon as possible, and order the hunting team to start attacking, flanking back and forth, and the morale of the natives will be further reduced." ”

"It's so good, just Brother Yang." Wang Hai thought about it, and felt that it was indeed his own concern that it was chaotic, just like fishing, slowly closing the net, so that the fish did not have time to struggle, the net was too fast, the fish was frightened, and there was room to move, so there was a possibility of breaking the net.

...... "Big boss, it's not good, the front is blocked, there has been no progress for half an hour, and the enemy behind has also been killed, what should we do?" ”

"Waste, it's all waste, are these monkeys all pigs? Those are serious Ming soldiers, and they are also local old soldiers, not border troops, how can they not rush down? "The six gods have no master, Liu Laoxiang himself is also panicking, the main force of the natives in the front battle, the enemy they can't rush down, how can these hundreds of people resist it?

"Fortunately, the Ming general is also a pig, and he has been fighting for so long before he remembered to attack back and forth, if it weren't for the monkeys being too wasteful, maybe they could break each one and turn defeat into victory." While scolding and venting the panic in his heart, Liu Laoxiang was also a little happy.

He pointed to the natives and said, "Here in the back, let them take it themselves." Loach, you go and tell them that if you can't open a gap in front of the battle, then no one will survive, so let's go to the front line to reinforce them, let them hold on, and don't forget that their old and young are behind them. ”

"Big boss, the previous battle has been made into a pot of porridge, let's add it, can it be useful?" Loach's face was pale, and he had been the same since he met the flyship.

"Yes, boss, it's better to find a way to break through now." Several other leaders also said with concern. As they spoke, they glanced at the river to the east from time to time.

The combat power of the pirates is indeed higher than that of the natives, but it is not much different, and the enemies that the first 30,000 natives have not taken, even if they are added, what effect can they have? The pirates had a good water name, and although the Magat River was wide, they had the confidence to cross it and escape.

"Idiot! Do you think I don't know? Escape by water? Have you forgotten what happened at that time in Tuguegarao? Although it never appeared, who can guarantee that those strange ships are not nearby? You are not fish, can you escape the pursuit of those boats? Besides, if you really want to run away like that, even if you run out, I'm afraid the brothers will almost be scattered......"

Liu Laoxiang's eyes flashed fiercely, scanning back and forth, and none of the leaders dared to look at him, they all lowered their heads. If they were willing to disperse and escape, they would have been able to run a long time ago, and now these hundreds of people are the capital of the comeback, and they are also the foundation of ensuring safety.

Thinking of those elusive hunting parties, the pirates were cold in their hearts, no one was confident that they could escape such a pursuit in Luzon, and even if they did, where could they flee to?

The country of Sulu to the south? Without a big boat, this is the only place they can reach, but will it be safe there? After completely annihilating the main force of the indigenous Luzon natives, what is the Mere Sulu State? Elsewhere, hey, it's all about crossing oceans, and no one has the ability to do that.

"Let's go to the west, encourage the natives to break through to the mountains, and then let's take advantage of the chaos to get out, the Ming army occupies all the big ports, and they may not be aware of those small hidden ports, so let's go there, and then cross the sea to Brunei, and go to Manga Thorn ......" Liu Laoxiang saw that his subordinates were shocked, so he put the plan together.

"The big boss is wise."

"It's up to you."

It was an ideal route that won unanimous praise from the pirates.
