Chapter 235: Heading to Wu County
In the battle of Horsehair Mountain, Qin Huaiyu was seriously injured and recuperated at home, and he lay down for several months. During this period, Wei Hong also went to see him, but he didn't have much energy and couldn't get out of bed, so he didn't bother him anymore and let him concentrate on recuperation. I haven't seen him for a long time, and when I see Qin Huaiyu again, he is already intact, which makes Wei Hong feel happy for a while.
Wei Hong walked up to Qin Huaiyu, patted Qin Huaiyu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I've been at home for so long, I'm afraid that the bones that have already stayed there are crispy, right?" It's okay, take this opportunity to go to Wu County to stretch your muscles. But you've just recovered from a serious illness, don't give me your life after you go, if anything goes wrong, I can't explain it to your father. ”
Qin Huaiyu smiled very boldly: "If you don't play with your life, what's the point of going to Wu County?" My father is not just my son, but without me, he saves the family a lot of expenses. ”
"Hehe, you kid!"
Wei Hong chatted with Qin Huaiyu for a few more words, then asked them to wait in the main hall, while he went to the backyard to wash up, ate a few bites of breakfast casually, changed into clean clothes, and said goodbye to Wanniang and Ruohua. When they returned to the main hall, Cheng Chumo and the others had already gone out, so Wei Hong said goodbye to Li Xiehe: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law will definitely come back before the year, and the reunion dinner at home will definitely not lack the son-in-law." ”
Li Xiehe smiled and nodded: "Okay, well, when the spring of the next year begins, I will arrange for my father to marry a virtuous son-in-law and Ruohua." ”
Bidding farewell to Li Xiehe, Wei Hong went out of the mansion, boarded the waiting carriage, and headed out of the city. When they arrived outside the city, they found that Fang Du and the others were also there, Wei Hong smiled and said, "Okay, our brothers are together again." ”
Although Fang Du and the others are weak scholars, they are the second generation of officials after all, and they will definitely assist the royal family in the future. I only know that it is not good to dance and ink, and at least the wisdom of strategy must be had. Taking advantage of Wu Jun's trip this time, it is just right for these two to experience it. To be a man is to witness the battlefield of blood and bones, if you live in an ivory tower all day and live in peace, what is the difference between a woman who only knows the deep rusty flowers and birds?
After returning from Horsehair Mountain, Yulongwei had regained his former vigor under the careful care of Comrade Li. The number has not changed, it is still 3,000 people. The general content of the equipment is also unchanged, except that some totems symbolizing the majesty of the royal are painted on the armor, which makes the Jade Dragon Guard more vigorous and imposing.
With the Jade Dragon Guard accompanying him, there was no need for other soldiers to escort him, except for some necessary men and miscellaneous men, the rest of the soldiers were not brought. When leaving, the Jade Dragon Guards all took off their armor, put the armor in the carriage, increased their speed, hurried as soon as possible, and put on the armor when they arrived in Wu County. In this way, the speed of the march will be greatly increased.
Since the official document of sea capture and the edict of Comrade Lao Li left the capital one day earlier than Wei Hong, when Wei Hong was still on the way, the officials of Wu County had already received it. As Wei Hong expected, the assassin of Wu County has been killed, and now the post of assassin of Wu County is temporarily vacant, so the envoy of Jiangnan Province Jiedu directly sent troops to search and arrest in various states and counties around Wu County. Rebellion is the biggest thing in the country, so it is not an exaggeration to use the Gangnam Province Jiedu envoy.
In the search, Yan Siyi's clues were soon discovered, and then under the search of all parties, Yan Siyi's specific location was finally mastered. After learning the news, the Jiangnan Provincial Jiedu envoy immediately sent troops to besiege Yan Siyi's men and horses in Yan Siyi's lair, located on a barren mountain called Huai Mountain on the edge of Wu County. When Wei Hong arrived with the Jade Dragon Guard, he began to plan a crusade.
Since Wei Hong was solely responsible for the crusade, when discussing the strategy, the people of the Jiangnan Provincial Jiedu envoy did not participate, but only controlled the troops on the periphery, beware of Yan Siyi's men and horses from breaking through and escaping.
Since it is a mountain attack and does not understand the terrain, it must be cautious, otherwise even if it is Jade Longwei, it is very likely to suffer a loss. After a rough calculation of the various messages, the number of rebels was positioned at 4,000. This figure is a conservative estimate, only a little more. In terms of numbers, the Jade Dragon Guard does not suffer, and this group of rebels has not been baptized on the battlefield, they are all at the level of recruit eggs, if they hedge on the plain, the Jade Dragon Guard can wipe them out in an instant. But now they are all hidden in the mountains, and they must have a well-planned plan to dismantle them. The first thing to consider is the various ambushes of the rebels, especially the most dangerous falling rocks.
Now that Yan Siyi's rebellion has caused a stir in Datang, the entire Jiangnan Province has taken action, and Yan Siyi is definitely fully prepared to defend against the enemy. When attacking the mountain, it will definitely be attacked by falling rocks. There are two kinds of falling rocks, one is that the rebels first prepare huge stones and hide them on the steep slopes, and when the Jade Dragon Guard attacks the mountain, the rebels pry up the stones with wooden sticks to make them fall freely. Once the Jade Dragon Guard appeared, it rolled down the mountain, inflicting a devastating blow on the Jade Dragon Guard.
Although there are many ways to defend against it, only two are applicable now. One is to directly disperse the ranks and attack with stragglers. In this way, the mobility of individual soldiers is strong, and they can effectively dodge falling rocks, and when the falling rocks are reduced or ended, they can be dispersed into wholes. The second way is to choose a road with fewer rocks and rush up. Although the latter will incur some losses, it is the most efficient approach. Once they rushed up the mountain, in the face of the attack of the Jade Dragon Guard, those rebels would definitely not be able to make any waves.
During the discussion, Fang Yizhi was puzzled: "Sir, since the army of Jiangnan Province has already pressed the border, why not just let the army attack the mountain in an all-round way." In this way, the rebels can be defeated in a short time! ”
Wei Hong explained: "Now Hu Guogong is leading his troops to break away from the battlefield of Huifu, although there is a buffer land of Huifu, the situation in the north is still not optimistic. Therefore, if you can reduce the loss, you should minimize the loss, if you let the troops of Jiangnan Province attack the mountain, the loss will definitely be much greater than that of Yulongwei! Now that Yan Siyi has wings to escape, maybe the speed of the Jade Dragon Guard's attack on the mountain is slower, but it can reduce a lot of unnecessary losses. ”
Wei Chi Baolin nodded and said: "Now the border situation is changing rapidly, and the troops still have to focus on defending the border. In the war in the territory, it is inconvenient to use the regular army. To put it bluntly, is it to kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife? Although Yan Siyi rebelled, he was weak and did not have a climate, so he could not use the regular army at all. ”
