Chapter 665: After the War (I)
It is Pei Xing's strategy of ambushing the troops with frugal grain trucks, which is not copied and cannot be copied, but only used for reference. The other party wanted to kill all of his own group, and Zheng Lang also wanted to wipe out some of the other party's men. Therefore, it must be placed here for a decisive battle, and inspired by the battle of Diqing Guirenpu, Zheng Lang made some modifications to Pei Xing's strategy of ambushing the soldiers.
For Tian Yu and Zhou Xin and other Wenchen, this strategy is incredible, especially the control of the other party's psychology. But if the opponent is Di Qing, he may draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog. But it doesn't matter, as Zheng Lang said, there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king, and it is enough to use it to deal with these people.
The reason why it takes a lot of trouble is also to grasp the psychology of the other party. If all the manpower is displayed, plus the more than 200 barbarian representatives accompanying him, there are more than 1,000 people, even if they are disguised, it will make the other party have a kind of idea of gnawing and not moving. The trip was in vain.
Therefore, there were only more than 400 soldiers, and many cars had to be pushed, and they could not cope with the ambush on the mountain road and the attack at this time. If there are too many, the other party will be afraid. The other soldiers had to be brought in, and they could not be seen by the other party, so they could only hide in more than two hundred large chests.
Not to mention, even if these barbarian representatives are familiar barbarians, some people still have a severing connection with raw barbarians, and they are afraid of leakage. For the sake of secrecy, the boxes were carried into the tent every night, and the outside was strictly guarded, which made the barbarian representatives feel more and more mysterious.
The truth is revealed.
Zheng Lang still didn't let these hundreds of soldiers out to fight, waiting, this time waiting for a hundred cavalry.
The battle continues.
Seeing these soldiers, the accompanying barbarians suddenly had courage, and some of them actually took up arms and participated in the battle.
Zheng Lang didn't stop them, in fact, this was a war that was doomed to the end before it had even begun. Bringing these barbarians over is a burden, but for the sake of post-war and post-war deterrence, let them witness the magic of changing their faces with their own eyes. The strength of the Song army, using their mouths to publicize this war, will make some unruly tribes stop their ambitions.
As for how many people can see the requirements for the terrain through the appearance. and the morale-boosting effect of his own example, I am afraid that there is no such thing.
Huang Xiaowu didn't know the inside story, seeing that this group of people was getting braver and braver the more they fought, he was so angry that he scolded his mother, and he must have the confidence to take down this group of people, but in this way, after this battle. The sacrifice was set, and I couldn't explain it when I went back.
I couldn't think of any good way to deal with it, so I had to yell desperately.
Just then, there was a roar from the south.
Huang Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, but after a while, thinking of the hundred horsemen on the dock, he felt a creep in his heart, and said to one of his subordinates: "Go to the south mountain road and have a look." ”
The person leaves.
Just for a moment. A terrible scream came from the front.
Huang Xiaowu's hair stood up, he was just a lackey, and he had a family and a small family in Qianzhou. Don't dare to openly confront the imperial court. Whether to run away or not, when I hesitated in my heart, the roar became louder. The two warring sides stopped together and looked suspiciously at the south.
Huang Xiaowu realized that something was wrong and was ready to slip away.
It was too late, and a hundred horsemen pounced like rolling thunder.
Seeing Zheng Su and the others leading the Fan Cavalry to arrive, Zheng Lang waved the flag in his hand again. The heavily armed Song army came out of the tent and replaced the Song army that was fighting, and someone brought in a crossbow, and one after another shot out like lightning.
The Song army, who had been replaced, also entered the tent and wore armor. The bloody battle that had been fought for nearly an hour just now was so hard that many soldiers fell down with arrows or spears because they were not wearing armor.
Huang Xiaowu's eyes were about to go black.
It was only at this point that he reacted and fell into a trap himself. Why did these people choose to be here? Because the terrain is open, and I don't know it, I actually built a fence to surround the opponent's camp, and stupidly gathered everyone in the middle of the clearing. From here, it is at least nearly two miles away to escape into the dense forest, can a man outrun these tall war horses? These two miles became a land of no return. …,
Suddenly, he screamed: "Brothers, if you want to live, kill in the camp so that the enemy's horses can't run." ”
Who listens to him? It's all messed up, some flee backwards, some rush forward. Others risked their lives and continued to attack the camp. But this time the situation is different, Song Jun is wearing all the step armor, or the most sophisticated step armor, the whole body, even the face is wrapped in the face armor, only the mouth, nose, and eyes are outside. The bow and arrow have a long range, or the bowstring is not in place, and the arrow cannot penetrate the armor at all. The same is true of the short spear. Some of the soldiers who went in to change their armor were fast, and they had already left their tents and rejoined the battle.
Zheng Su and Zheng Huang did not rush into the battle circle, and each led a hundred cavalry to swim around the periphery, killing the escaped barbarians and forcing them back. The tall northwest horses used their speed advantage in this open field to the end of the battle, and only about two dozen people escaped by chance, and all the others were intercepted.
Quickly, the battlefield turns into a living purgatory, but this is the beginning.
When all the soldiers put on their armor together, Zheng Lang picked up a red flag from behind him and waved it fiercely. The general offensive begins.
With Zheng Su and Zheng Huang each divided into twenty horses, they rushed into the battlefield. A few people were left in the camp to protect Zheng Lang's three officials, and the other soldiers also put down their bows and crossbows together, and killed them with knives and guns in their hands. Losing the advantage of the jungle, these barbarians in thin linen clothes are nothing. Especially the forty iron horses, like a fish in water in this open land, coupled with the courage of the birth girl, one by one is like a demon. After intercepting and trampling again and again, some people were frightened and cried, and they didn't dare to move when they lay on the ground. Some of them desperately fled to the dense forest not far away, and were slashed back and forth by sixty iron horsemen, forcing them back to the bloody battlefield.
Infantry also played an important role.
Sacrificing part of the cavalry impact, but blocking these barbarians in this land, there is no need for infantry pursuit.
Another advantage is revealed, not the sophisticated weapons in the hand, but the foot armor.
The heavy infantry armor worn on the body is a burden to the action, which often leads to the Song army's victory and failure to win, and the defeat will wipe out the whole army. But it depends on what it is used for. For example, now, it is not responsible for any pursuit action, but only for combat, and the protective role of the infantry armor is infinitely magnified.
Especially these step armors, all brought by Zheng Lang from the capital, there is absolutely no cutting corners. The barbarian was frightened, his hand went limp, and the knife slashed at it, leaving only a white mark. It didn't do any harm to Song Bing. Even if the short spear pokes it, it can't pierce the foot armor.
On the contrary, hundreds of Song soldiers were like a humanoid tank, led by two commanders and two Du Yuhou, divided into four groups and rampaged among the barbarians. Invincible, not rushing over, almost all the way through.
The scale of the battle was far less than the battle of Quy Nhon Pu, which was a large army of tens of thousands of people, but Zheng Lang was more ruthless than Di Qing, and he didn't even give them a chance to escape, and he didn't even send a signal for them to surrender. This kind of bloody result is not what Zheng Lang likes, in order to let these barbarian representatives behind him see it. Ruthlessly deliberately so.
There were still not as many people as the other side, but hundreds of infantry and forty cavalry were like a scythe in the hands of the devil, reaping the lives of the enemy repeatedly. Over and over! Gradually, there were more and more corpses on the ground. The number of enemies is getting smaller and smaller.
It has completely become a one-sided battle, torture and killing, real torture and killing.
Zheng Lang issued an order late, looking at the barbarian representatives behind him who were frightened by the bloody battlefield and their legs were staggered, and some people were even vomiting, and said: "You shout for so-and-so, let them lay down their weapons and surrender without killing." ”
"Whoa." Replied together.
At this time, Zheng Lang was afraid to let them eat, it is estimated that no one would dare to disobey, and some people were so timid that they were so scared that they peed in their crotch. …,
All shouted loudly in brute language.
It works well. After shouting several times, the enemy threw away all the weapons in his hands and fell to the ground, not daring to raise his head. Together with the real barbarians, one by one frightened the bloody massacre just now.
Begin to take out the ropes and tie up the captives.
There were also some Song soldiers who were unconvinced and kicked these prisoners with hatred.
Two battles before and after, resulting in the death of 71 soldiers. Nearly 100 soldiers were wounded, ranging from severity to severity. Let the soldiers hate these people bitterly. If it weren't for Zheng Lang asking people to shout to surrender and not kill, these soldiers would have been able to kill prisoners in a fit of rage.
To clean up the battlefield, the main thing was to put weapons on horseback with some evidence, a small amount of valuable materials, and the corpses of the sacrificed soldiers, and the seriously wounded soldiers were also helped on the horses. Then a fire burned the camp, dozens of tents, nearly three hundred carts, thousands of boxes of large and small, some dry food and luggage were not needed, although after this battle, there was no danger on the pious road, after all, it was in the dense forest, and this group of people was bold and careful, and it was not worth delaying the march for these small supplies. There are still many corpses of enemies on the ground, and I love to take them back, but I don't like to send someone to bury them in a few days.
After doing these things, it was not yet dark, and I prepared the torches again and began to set out on the return journey.
Walking on the road, Zheng Lang did not speak with Tian Yu and Zhou Xin, Tian Zhou and the others were shocked by the bloody battle just now, but Zheng Lang was a little depressed in his heart, there was no need to sacrifice so many soldiers, but for the sake of trade-offs, these soldiers could not go back safely. This is just the beginning, if you want the stability of the two Guangzhous, how many more people will die?
When it got dark, the soldiers lit their torches, and some of the captives were afraid and could not walk quickly, and immediately some soldiers struck them with their weapons. Zheng Lang still didn't stop it, if he didn't want these live confessions, even when he saw the corpses of the soldiers on horseback, he would have the violent idea of killing prisoners.
Still can't get up fast. When it was dark, the mountain road was rugged, and the marching speed was very slow, and the road of more than seventy miles began before it was dark until dawn the next day, and then walked back to the dock exhausted.
Zheng Su went to see the camp first.
There are still some supplies in there that cannot be wasted.
Zheng Lang looked at his back and smiled with satisfaction.
A long time after the Northwest Campaign, these Jurchen soldiers appeared in the three-pole "evolution", and some of them, as he thought, began to degenerate, and they were no longer able to be regarded as a strong force. Some of them still maintain their original simple and barbaric style, and these people are still pawns. Only a few people evolved the best, the military level improved, and they also learned some Song Dynasty etiquette and civilization, and produced loyalty to the Song Dynasty, but their combat effectiveness did not decline. The latter can be reused, and Zheng Su is the latter.
Zheng Su came to the gate of the camp and was really not very relieved about the dozen or so soldiers and ruffians at the outpost. Suddenly, he saw several ruffians on duty at the gate of the camp, and one of them was dozing, and the corners of his mouth were still dripping.
Zheng Su underestimated the fear of these ruffians, and knew that they were Zheng Lang's guards, the ones who dared to be sloppy. Seeing them leave and pounce into the mountain road, I faintly felt that something was wrong. There are bitter words in my heart, but I dare not be careless. After deliberation, people were sent to guard the camp in turn.
It's not that I'm afraid of the Jurchens, it's that I'm afraid of Zheng Lang.
The brigade of men and horses alarmed all the soldiers and ruffians in the outpost, and looked at them in amazement.
The battle was a huge success, with nearly 800 prisoners captured. More than 900 people were killed, and the number of enemy participants reached more than 1,700. The old foundation was really pulled out. Zheng Lang needs their confessions, otherwise most of these people will be killed.
More than a dozen soldiers looked nervously at these prisoners of war, some of whom they knew, and the situation was so delicate that they didn't know what to do. …,
Zheng Lang walked over and said to Jiang Qiuse: "Let's take these prisoners of war onto the ship first." ”
"Whoa."
Tian Yu's face was still ugly. Yesterday a scene scared him. But suddenly he became excited and said, "Zheng Xianggong, there is still time." ”
When I came, it took two days to go down the water, but when I returned, I went down the river, and the speed would be five or six times faster, which means that I could arrive at Xunzhou City in the afternoon, so as Zheng Lang said, I would get rid of this matter in ten days.
As for the follow-up. You have to take your time, but the big picture is settled.
"Zheng Xianggong, Zheng Xiang...... Public. The corners of the mouths of more than a dozen soldiers twitched, knelt down one by one, and smacked their mouths: "Zheng Xianggong, the little one has eyes and no beads, please spare us." ”
Not to mention their unclean foundation, when Zheng Lang came, he didn't know Taishan, and blackmailed the prime minister of the dynasty. All of them were frightened, and their whole bodies trembled.
"Liu Yimo, also bring them back to Xunzhou."
"Whoa."
"Zheng Xianggong. Zheng Xianggong, you raise your noble hand, adults don't care about villains. A dozen ruffians wailed.
Zheng Lang knew that they were not clean, and they were not worth caring about, and this time the case broke out, and I don't know how many people had to be dug up. Why bother with a dozen soldiers and ruffians. It was useful to bring them back to Xunzhou, so the belt was used, not the catch. Zheng Lang didn't explain, and asked the guards to forcibly drag more than a dozen soldiers to the boat.
Then I sat down and wrote a second note.
explained the cause and effect of the battle, but the battle process was written very succinctly, and he did not explain the matter of pretending to be a merchant as a bait, but said that he went to pacify the barbarians, and after hearing the news, he hired a large number of fierce subordinates, joined forces with the local barbarians, surrounded them in the mountains and forests, and wanted to kill them all and be defeated by himself.
It's terrible.
Zheng Lang didn't lie, and he can't lie, but if he misses this crucial matter, it will cause people to have a big misunderstanding. Just like the poem Qiang Di, why should I complain about the willows, and the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. If a few words are omitted, it will become a Qiang flute complaining about the willows, and the spring jade gate is closed, and it is not mentioned beautifully, and it may not be understood if you understand, and it will even make people have a bad reverie. Or another upside down, turning into a wind and resentment of willows, and the jade gate of Didu, which has become an ambiguous, low-key and obscene verse.
In this province, every sentence is true, but the nature has become completely different.
Zheng Lang escorted the soldiers of the outpost away together, because they knew about this matter and were afraid that some people would be bribed with a lot of money to expose the truth in advance.
Tian Yu and Zhou Xin began to stare at Zheng Lang and write.
They are all literati, they all like calligraphy, Zheng Lang writes well, and stands on the side to observe. After a while, I remembered to read the folds. Seeing that Tian Yu's color changed, he said: "Zheng Xianggong ......"
"I know, look at these sacrificed warriors, Zizhong, and erosion to such an extent, why don't you take the opportunity to eradicate these pests together?"
The soldiers were carrying the bodies of the fallen soldiers to the ship, some of them were good friends, and after the fierce battle, the sky was also dawning, and when they saw their former comrades-in-arms closing their eyes and no longer able to speak, they couldn't help but lie down on the corpses and let out low sobs.
Tian Yu and Zhou Xin all sighed, these people are too arrogant, since Zheng Lang is bent on using thunderbolts, then use them.
Write a good fold, two folds and send them to the capital with a fast horse.
The effect of the omission is immediately visible.
Zheng Lang also has to wait for Wang Ding to arrive, his authority is in Liangguang, Fujian is not afraid, there is Yang Hong, this is a master who is not afraid of something, he is afraid of nothing. Zheng Lang on the Qianzhou side was a little worried, Cai Xiang had gone through a few years of hardship, and the acute angle had gradually flattened, and maybe he could deal with this matter leniently. Then the rotten meat will not be clean.
So the fold was delivered to the capital at the fastest speed, and it was sent to the two prefectures in less than ten days. …,
The imperial court was waiting for Zheng Lang's news, and after seeing this recital, the prime ministers of the two governments were all shocked, and they did not dare to slack off, and immediately handed over the recital to Zhao Zhen. Just through a recital, Zhao Zhen couldn't think of the truth, and after reading it, he was furious, and threw the letter on the ground at once.
The extraordinarily large murder that occurred on the pious road has crossed the bottom line of Zhao Zhen's endurance, and now these people actually want to kill the prime minister of the dynasty, the number one ruler of the world, plus two pacification envoys, and Wang Ze may not have the courage to do so.
What is the bottom line? This matter is far beyond the bottom line that Zhao Zhen endured.
Don't say that some local heroes and strongmen, even what Cao Gao's second family did, can't be forgiven.
Several prime ministers looked at each other, didn't dare to make a sound, and said in their hearts, it's a big case. The emperor is far away, these people are so bold that they are about to ascend to the sky.
There is only one man's mind, and unlike the others, he sees an opportunity.
Liang Shi looked at Zhao Zhentie's blushing face, walked around angrily, and scolded in his mouth: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, it's lawless." ”
He is the emperor, and he can't scold his mother, otherwise he can scold these people's mothers in a rage.
Liang Shi's head lowered, and the corners of his mouth secretly showed a smile, Zheng Lang is a good kid, very powerful. I plan to take another solid step towards success, and it depends on whether Di Qing's kid is strong on the special grinding road. If Di Qing gives him more strength, he will be able to get his wish. Thinking of this, he stared at the chair behind Pang Ji. At this moment, he felt that the chair was so close to him......
Suddenly heard a bang, raised his head in surprise, and saw Zhao Zhen in a rage, slamming the teacup on the table to the ground at once.
The black porcelain cup quickly turned into pieces, shining with a cold oily black light.
Liang Shi was sitting in a precarious position, the emperor was really angry, he had never seen Zhao Zhen make such a gaffe and angry move.
Several other prime ministers also stared at the fragments, slightly distracted. Fu Bi sighed, this time the heroes of the eight states are in big trouble. (To be continued.)
