Chapter 656: Ground and Air Operations
However, once the Sichuan army enters this canyon, if it is ambushed, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Ambush?" Liu Zhang was suddenly shocked when he thought of this, even if it was an ambush by two thousand Che division soldiers, it was impossible to defeat the Sichuan army, and the vine armor army was invulnerable, and it couldn't even hit hard, so what was the use of an ambush?
Fire attack, Liu Zhang thought of these two words at once, a very weak army is going to defeat a strong army, there are only a few strategies available, the terrain here is too suitable for fire attack.
Dahamu obviously saw the fact that the rattan armor army was easy to be attacked by fire, this is to completely destroy the vine armor army, Liu Zhang was shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately he led the army to fight all the year round, and had a lot of military common sense, otherwise he was really fooled, this Dahamu really did not only have brute force.
He almost capsized in the gutter, and Liu Zhang secretly warned himself that even if he faced a weak army in the future, he must not take it lightly.
"Husband, what do you see?" Xiao Furong asked worriedly.
Liu Zhang said: "Dahamu wants to attack us with fire, and we can't go into the mountains. ”
"What then? Do you want that kid to be free in the mountains? "It's so powerful that I haven't killed Dahamu twice in seconds, and I'm extremely unhappy, in Pu Liu Zhang's decision to give up attacking the Beilu Houguo, it's so powerful that it's not happy, and now it's in front of people, and I can't attack it, so it's even more unhappy.
"Of course not, I'm going to see the Black Woods." Liu Zhang turned to Xiao Furong: "Rong'er, it seems that you have to work hard this time, I heard the girl from the land that said that the mountain behind Wangfu Mountain is very dangerous, only some medicine pickers can go up, can your white pole soldiers go up?" ”
"Don't worry, husband, the medicine picker can go up. We'll be able to get on. Xiao Furong's bright eyes gave Liu Zhang a reassuring look. She did not comfort Liu Zhang. After so many years of training, the White Pole Army has long surpassed the Wudang Flying Army in history and become a professional mountain force.
Where the herb pickers can go, the white pole army will definitely be able to go.
Liu Zhang nodded: "Okay, I'm attracting Dahamu's attention from the front, you go up from the back mountain of Wangfu Mountain to the top of that mountain." Liu Zhang pointed to a mountaintop where there were not many trees blocking the view, "You wave the flag." I'll attack. ”
"Yes." Xiao Furong gave a military salute and led the white pole army around the mountain, and Liu Zhang led the army to rest at the mountain pass and called the king of Mulu.
"Your Highness, what are your orders for calling me Mulu?" When the King of Mulu heard the call, he immediately ran over, since the beginning of the war of the Sichuan army in the Western Regions, the King of Mulu, who did not have a single soldier in his hands, was in a panic, and Liu Zhang did not allow him to rush to kill, so it can be said that the war has started until now. Not a single enemy has been killed, and there is no credit at all.
The King of Mulu has long been suffocated. At this time, he heard Liu Zhang call him alone, and immediately knew what important task there was, and he was overjoyed and came to Liu Zhang as quickly as possible.
"King Mulu, I'm going to ask you this time, Dahamu must be preparing to attack us somewhere, we can't get in, but we can't get in, those treasures of yours will definitely be able to get in, you know what to do."
Although Liu Zhang newly set up Dian Zhou, and the Ba Na Cave of the King of Mulu is also in Dian Prefecture, and it is a Hou State under the Han Dynasty, but it only retains the title of the king, but the King of Mulu is different from the vulture bones, and he has not officially surrendered, and he is not a person of the Sichuan army.
But now the king of Mulu and the kings of other tribes have long regarded themselves as part of the Sichuan army.
Wang Xu's soft offensive policy was a chronic corrosive law, which on the surface was all about the benefits of the barbarians and the Qiang, mutual trade, free migration, bounty and knighthood, and extra points for the barbarian Qiang in the four imperial examinations.
It can be said that both the upper and lower classes of the barbarians can feel the benefits personally.
However, in the mutual trade, the Sichuan army deliberately ceded the power of parity to the barbarian aristocracy, and the lower-class barbarians could only buy at a high price and sell at a low price, so that they could only find their nobles to buy and sell on their behalf, which inevitably caused the privileges and corruption of their nobles, and tied their nobles to the same boat of the Sichuan army.
Free movement is also to deprive the barbarian population, because of this, the Sichuan army fought against the barbarians and Qiang, but after defeating them, they had to accept free migration, so that their people could see the benefits of migration, because in any case, life in the Han area would be better than in the barren barbarian land.
This is a great temptation for the barbarian people, and once this temptation is placed in front of them, those barbarian nobles cannot stop it, so they can only let the people migrate over, especially when it comes to the disasters that are common in barbarian lands.
The bounty is basically aimed at the barbarian nobles, and it is also to let them form privileges, and even Liu Zhang intends to make some non-hereditary tribes become hereditary tribes, and use the title to indirectly control the barbarian forces.
The gold and silver bounty contributed to the integration of the barbarians and the Han Chinese, while other luxuries exacerbated the corruption of the barbarians.
As well as other soft offensive policies, almost all of them are good for the barbarians on the surface, but in fact they are digging the foundation of the barbarians and corrupting their upper strata, but these are not visible on the surface, on the surface they are all benevolent policies, even if there are individual barbarians with unique vision, they cannot reverse the general trend.
Those who have a unique vision in the barbarians, they have to face the nobles who have vested interests under the soft attack policy, and the barbarian people who yearn for life in the Han region and stable mutual trade.
What's more, these people are not people with unique vision.
King Mulu and other barbarian nobles have adapted to the new policy of the Sichuan army, at least better than when they were divided before, and when they really fought with the Sichuan army, they found that the world was big, the riches of other places, and their vision was different, and they knew that their own little bit of heaven and earth was really nothing before.
Liu Zhang promised that they could serve in the Sichuan Army, and they were naturally moved, but they were just making a final consideration.
But whether it works or not, they now see themselves as people in the same boat as the Sichuan army, and the soft offensive policy left by Wang Xu is mutual benefit and common prosperity, slowly corrupting the upper class, causing the barbarians to divide up and down, and promoting the return of the population and ethnic integration, and using a soft knife to stabilize the frontier.
Liu Zhang's policy with Wang Xu was not to do anything to the aliens, but to slowly integrate the aliens into the Han soil, without the integration of the division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and also allowed many ethnic minorities to be assimilated by the Han people, and at the same time to expand the land of the Han Dynasty.
Purely by force to conquer and slaughter, the Sichuan army can't do it, even if it does, it will be difficult to last long, it can only cause more estrangement, only like the battle of Xiqiang, the battle of the Southern Barbarians, the combination of grace and power.
And now it seems that the effect is not bad, at least the tribes of the Nanban have basically recognized the existence of Dian Prefecture, and the army of Xiqiang has basically become the assistant army of the Sichuan army, and Dongqingyi has an absolute advantage in the Xiqiang grassland.
At this time, the king of Mulu listened to Liu Zhang's words, and immediately patted his chest: "Your Highness, rest assured, wrap it on me, I will let Dahamu's group of rabbits and cubs have chicken feathers and duck blood." ”
The king of Mulu climbed a big tree, stood on the branch and picked up the bell and shook it, the crisp "ding" sound sounded like music in the mountain stream, an eagle wandered over a jungle, and a poisonous snake, poisonous scorpion, spider, and centipede gathered in the direction of the eagle.
"What sound?" Dahamu heard the sound of the bell and was a little puzzled.
All the soldiers of the chariot division also heard it, and the sound of the bell sounded very pleasant, like a clear spring in this silent mountain, Dahami asked his subordinates to ask the people on a tree on the periphery with gestures, "Has the Sichuan army come up?" ”
The hand on the tree waved.
Dahamu frowned suddenly, why didn't he come up yet, was he discovered? Shouldn't it?
At this time, an eagle flew in the sky, and Dahamu suddenly wondered, the driver did not have an eagle, but the eagle generally flew by in the long sky, even if it was circling, it was also a large range, how could it be hovering at such a small range at low altitude, and it was still in the sky above his own ambush?
"Take a bow and arrows."
Dahamu handed out his hand to his subordinates, and a hard bow appeared in his hand, Dahamu was an arrow at the eagle, but the eagles trained by the King of Mulu had been trained to dodge bows and arrows, and they were sensitive to the sound of the bowstring.
Dahamu was even more confused.
"Your Majesty, have we been discovered?" With the eagle's "wow" call, a subordinate also saw that the eagle was unusual.
"Hmph, even if you find out, the jungle here is dense, the Sichuan army is not familiar with the terrain, and they can only be ambushed when they come in, if they are afraid of being ambushed, they can only stay outside, and they will not retreat after a while."
Dahamu's words made all the soldiers take a reassurance, indeed, the jungle here is dense, if the Sichuan army comes in, it will be strange to bargain for the soldiers who are familiar with the terrain.
Liu Zhang looked at the soaring eagle, and suddenly said: "This eagle is good, why didn't I find that there is also a high-altitude reconnaissance function, this eagle is used well, except for the ambush under the soil, there is nothing to hide." ”
The reason why it was easy to ambush an army on the march in ancient times was because the exploration route basically relied on scouts, rangers and sentinels, but these human factors not only could not be explored carefully, but they would also be found and even shot.
And when an army marches, it is impossible to send dense sentinels everywhere, and the speed of such a march is turtle speed.
And with the cooperation of this eagle and the wanderer, it is a great weapon to open the way.
Wang Xu nodded, he followed Liu Zhang to fight in the south and the north, although he rarely did it, but he still had some basic military knowledge, and he knew the trouble of exploring the way, and he understood the benefits of this eagle.
After more than two hours, Daham's ambush soldiers were impatient, thinking that they had been discovered by the Sichuan army, and the Sichuan army did not dare to come in and took out dry food to eat.
At this time, the sentry of the Sichuan army sent a message, Liu Zhang looked at the bare mountain top agreed with Xiao Furong, and looked from afar, a person was waving the flag, Liu Zhang did not hesitate anymore, and gave an attack order to the vulture.
The vulture only brought two thousand wisteria armor soldiers into the mountain pass, and tried to spread out as much as possible to attack the underside of the eagle circling. (To be continued......)
