431 Banmen get an axe

These guys are eager to fight, seeing his subordinates so enthusiastically asking for battle, Lu Haoshan was secretly happy in his heart.

In the eyes of outsiders, since Lu Haoshan ascended to the throne, Sichuan's economic development, social stability, and military strength, if it is said that the governor of Sichuan is a profession, then Lu Haoshan is definitely an excellent employee, but in the eyes of the discerning people, the greatest wealth that the governor of Sichuan has brought to Sichuan is an idea and atmosphere, and it has depicted a wonderful prospect for the people of Sichuan in a moisturizing and silent way, and inspired the unity of the military and the people of Sichuan. Generous rewards and promotion mechanisms are used to continuously motivate soldiers to obtain military merits.

If the army does not have the passion to fight and is cowardly, then no matter how elite the army is, it is also an ornament, just like the Qin State when the Seven Kingdoms competed for hegemony, but it was able to complete the great cause of reunification in a bitter cold place, relying on Qin Shi Huang to establish a set of effective reward and promotion mechanisms.

Looking at the subordinates who were eager to fight, Lu Haoshan said lightly: "Everyone holds their positions, without my orders, no one can attack at will, if Hong Chengchou dares to provoke or break through, give me a hard blow." ”

After speaking, looking at the puzzled eyes of his subordinates, he said, "What, there is an objection?" What don't you understand, say it now. ”

Nighthawk hesitated for a moment, and quickly dutifully reported: "My lord, Hong Chengchou has been operating Dingjun Mountain for a long time, and in order to prevent our army, he hoarded a large amount of grain and grass early, and according to the information collected by the villain, the grain on the mountain can last for half a year. ”

For Lu Haoshan's action, most of the people present defined it as wanting to surround Dingjun Mountain, and wait for the other party to run out of ammunition and food before attacking, which is the practice of many people, but Hong Chengchou transported a large amount of grain and grass to Dingjun Mountain for storage early, half a year is not long or short, but for the Sichuan army that relies on transportation from far away to replenish the Sichuan army, this is definitely a disaster, more than 100,000 horses and horses a day is an astronomical amount, Nighthawk thinks. I need to remind the Governor again, although I have already reported this information.

The Governor has a lot of opportunities, and even forgetting jì is not news.

Li Dingguo nodded in agreement: "My lord, Nighthawk is right. Now the Qing army is taking the initiative to avoid the war, in fact, it is just to delay time, once we can't keep up with the transportation of grain and grass, it is easy to cause chaos. ”

"That's it" Tang Qiang couldn't hold it back, and said loudly: "My lord." I thought that it would not be difficult for our troops to open the way with artillery and firecrackers to capture Dingjun Mountain, and there was no need to waste food here. ”

Pu Bu said very consciously: "My lord, the last general is willing to lead his sons and sons to take the lead and cut off Hong Chengchou's head to comfort the souls of the soldiers who died in the battle of Ningqiangzhou City." ”

Lu Haoshan knocked on the table and said: "Your mind and the official knows, our Sichuan army has advanced guns and artillery, and the pass and the city have become less important. Use this bait to encircle and send reinforcements. ”

"Reinforcements?" Tang Qiang said with some doubts: "The little one has heard of the siege of the city and the reinforcement, what does the adult mean by the siege of the city?" ”

"That's a good question" Lu Haoshan snapped his fingers and said: "There are two conditions to meet for besieging the city and sending reinforcements, that is, the city must be captured, and the reinforcements must also be attacked or even exterminated, but the siege of reinforcements is focused on the two words of reinforcements, using Dingjun Mountain as a bait to lure the enemies around them, and then ambush them on the road, which is very likely to destroy the enemy's living force." ”

Encirclement rescue was rare in ancient times, because of Sun Tzu's Art of War set of "ten rules to surround it." Five will attack, the double will fight, the enemy can be divided, and the few can escape. If not, it can be avoided" The method of using military force is regarded as the golden rule, mostly to ambush or lay out pockets and other enemies to drill, of course, this is also closely related to the environment, social development, scientific and technological progress, etc., in fact, this is the later General Xu Xiangqian in 1928 invented and put into practice the tactics. Now it belongs to the "ahead" theory.

But good is good, everyone understood as soon as they heard it, and many people had a thoughtful look in their eyes, and it didn't take long for them to nod secretly, approving Lu Haoshan's tactics.

With the firepower of the Sichuan army, the ambush and encounter battles are to gain the upper hand, especially the perfect intelligence system and strong mobility, which provides unlimited possibilities for the reinforcements, and the most important point is that Sichuan is pouring out of the nest, and the interior is empty, although there is a strong pass to rely on, but in the short term, Lu Haoshan should not be too far away from the mouth of the Sichuan, not to mention anything else, to ensure the transportation of grain and grass, there is no room for half a mistake.

It seems to be a small decision, but it actually contains a lot of wisdom, and a group of soldiers expressed their sincerity and convincing to Lu Haoshan.

Lu Haoshan suddenly asked, "How is Zhang Rui now?" ”

"In front, Hong Chengchou led his troops to help, which caused him great difficulties, but after I waited out of Sichuan, Dolgon ordered Hong Chengchou to return to Dingjun Mountain to guard, and the two of them returned to the same running line, Zhang Rui's pressure was greatly reduced, and now he is fighting equally, and the last general has sent someone to Zhang Rui's department to send supplies such as grain, grass and ammunition, and assisted him in transferring the wounded, there should be no problem now." Li Dingguo hurriedly responded.

"How many people are left?"

"Excluding the wounded soldiers, there are about 1,700 people left who can fight."

There are only more than 1,000 people left in 5,000 people, and the casualties are still quite large, but the front rushed to Ningqiang Prefecture, and he had to face opponents like Ao Bai and Hong Chengchou, and it was not easy to hold on to the present in isolation and helplessness, and Lu Haoshan couldn't ask more of him, so he nodded and said: "Sue him don't have to worry too much, as long as he screws off the head of Ao Bai for me, he will be credited with a great achievement." ”

The second is a person, thanks to the film and television works of later generations, Lu Haoshan still has a deep memory of the character of Aobai, this person is actually a generation of generals, with the title of the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Baturu, is a member of the battlefield, following Dolgon, Aobai has also grown into a generation of ministers, it is much better to trap him in the deep mountains and old forests than to stay on the battlefield, from here it can be seen that this person is terrible, Zhang Rui's combat method is also a nightmare for him, in order to prevent Zhang Rui from making meritorious contributions and giving up entanglement with Aobai, Lu Haoshan directly made a wish to him.

"Yes, sir." Li Dingguo said with a straight face.

Lu Haoshan nodded, asked people to take out the map, and began to discuss with his subordinates how to do the best in the tactics of encircling the point and sending reinforcements.

"Boom"

"Boom Boom"

Just when the group of people was in full swing, they suddenly heard the sound of **, and then the earth also became trembling in the explosion, and in the explosion, there was a faint sound of horns.

Lu Haoshan glanced at Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo understood, and immediately rushed out of the tent to see what was going on, and he came back to report to Lu Haoshan after a while: "My lord, the Qing army opened artillery bombardment on my camp at Zhongzi Mountain, and Dingjun Mountain also killed a group of cavalry and advanced in the direction of Wujiawan, it seems that they want to break through." ”

"It's so bold, just that little person, we didn't attack the mountain, he made a fuss first, Lord Governor, the last general Yuan led the sons and daughters to attack, and no one let them go." Seeing that there was a fight, Pubu immediately stood up and shouted for war.

"The last general is willing to go"

"My lord, the last general is willing to lead the team to kill them all."

As soon as they saw Pubu asking for battle, a group of people were not to be outdone, and they all spoke out to fight.

Lu Haoshan waved his hand and said: "This is the sorrow of being a slave, knowing that he is invincible, but he still forces his subordinates to come and send him to death, it is clearly to show their masters, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, there is no need to make a fuss, Dingguo and Dobu." ”

"The last general" Li Dingguo and Dobu hurriedly replied loudly, smiling, as if they were hit and won the lottery.

"The two of you each lead a team to beat them back, and give me enough momentum, it's best to scare them so that they don't dare to go down the mountain lightly, and if they want to leave, there is no need to kill them all."

When Li Dingguo and Dobu heard this, they immediately received the order, and after the two left, Lu Haoshan sneered: "As soon as I heard the sound of the cannon, I knew that it was the great general cannon cast by the previous dynasty, and I really didn't know what to do, let's give Hong Chengchou a lesson." ”

After speaking, Lu Haoshan went straight out of the camp, and when he saw the governor leaving, a group of soldiers naturally followed closely. ”

The general cannon is one of the more advanced cannons of the Ming Dynasty, this cannon is about 380CM long, the inner diameter is 10CM, the iron core copper casting method is adopted, it skillfully uses the melting of copper (1083 °C), far lower than the physical properties of iron (1538 °C), after the iron tire is cooled, it is molded by clay casting method or wax loss, and the copper wall is cast. Compared with the previous iron or bronze cannons, this new type of firearm not only has a thinner wall, is lighter, less expensive, and more durable, and is a majestic artifact before the appearance of the Hongyi cannon.

Of course, there are more advanced artillery than Hongyi cannons, such as the earthquake mountain cannon and cannon developed by Sichuan, the earthquake mountain cannon is an improved version of the Hongyi cannon, and the solid bullet is used, while the iron shell used in the cannon has a longer range and is more powerful.

Lu Haoshan did not plan to show the cannon as a big killer at the beginning, but went straight to the No. 1 Artillery Battalion, and the cannons used by the No. 1 Artillery Battalion were all mountain artillery.

"The last general, Ma Deqing, see the Governor." Seeing Lu Haoshan leading the crowd to come, Ma Deqing, the commander of the No. 1 Artillery Battalion, immediately stepped forward to salute.

Lu Haoshan saw that the artillery camp was in order, some of the soldiers were training, some were wiping the barrels, and the long Zhenshan cannons were lined up in rows, just like soldiers waiting for battle, a battalion had ten artillery squads, each artillery squad had fifty people, and every ten people were responsible for taking care of one artillery, that is to say, an artillery battalion had fifty guns, and where the metallic and powerful artillery stood tall, it made people feel a sense of fear.

"Did you hear the cannon?" Lu Haoshan opened his mouth and asked.

"I hear you." Ma answered cleanly.

Lu Haoshan continued to ask, "Did you hear clearly?" (To be continued.) )xh118R1052
