312 Battle of Maqin (3rd Shift)
"No, no, General Hou, please get up, this is Liu's duty." Seeing that the dignified Sanpin Minister, the Secretary of the Military Department, and the Zhenfan General Hou Junji actually saluted him, Liu Yuan didn't dare to hold him up, and hurriedly helped him up.
The eldest grandson Chong said with admiration: "I didn't expect that Brother Liu, you still have the ability to be an unpredictable prophet, admire, admire." ”
Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "Where, how can Liu have such a heavenly ability, but it can be guessed." ”
"Oh, tell me what's going on, why the scout team and the Xianfeng Battalion are fine, and I'll wait for the army to pass, and there will be an avalanche?" Although Hou Junji has fought countless battles and heard of Avalanche, he can only consider himself unlucky when he encounters this kind of thing in the past, but he didn't expect Liu Yuan to be able to let it collapse in advance, which made him feel very curious.
"Actually, the snow is attached to the mountain, the more it accumulates, the more dangerous it is, the snow is not like ice, the ice is condensed as one, and the snow is more fluffy, there will be a danger of collapse if it accumulates too much, the subordinates see that the canyon is slippery, that is the north wind is blocked by the mountain, the temperature of the canyon is relatively ambiguous, some snow melts into water, there is snow water on the ice, which causes slippery, in this case, the snow on the mountain is very dangerous, just when the large army arrives, a small cloud of snow falls from the snow mountain, which is a sign of snow instability."
Liu Yuan continued: "I asked the soldiers to shout loudly, and the sound converged into a sound wave, accelerating the loosening of the snow layer, so that it would collapse in advance, in fact, this is nothing, experienced hunters or woodcutters know that when you go to the mountains in winter, don't talk loudly, because the mountain god is sleeping, if you wake up the mountain god to sleep, the mountain god will be angry, in fact, it is the same reason, but they have not opened the wisdom of the people, so they will push these things to the mountain god." ”
"Ah, I see," said one of the soldiers in the crowd, "that's what my father told me." I've never been convinced, it turned out to be like this. ”
"That's what my mother said."
"I didn't expect it, so that's the case, I'll just say, where are there so many mountain gods"
After listening to this, everyone suddenly realized, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
Liu Yuan saw that some soldiers were still a little scared, and said loudly: "Brothers, this landslide is nothing to be afraid of, I didn't say that this is a cursed place before, look." Aren't we coming? It's okay now, I remember a few sentences that make a lot of sense, where there is a will, it can be done, and the boat is broken. One hundred and two Qin passes belong to Chu after all; Hard-working people, the sky does not pay. Stoop to conquer. Three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu. As long as we work together, there's nothing we can't do. ”
Seeing that everyone's emotions were pulled up, Liu Yuan struck while the iron was hot and said: "For my Datang, fight to the death!" ”
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
A group of soldiers raised the lance in their hands one after another, and shouted loudly while raising it, for a while. The crowd was surging, the morale was like a rainbow, and the morale that had been hit by the avalanche just now suddenly rose again. Hou Junji nodded secretly: This Liu Yuan is good, he is very good at mobilizing the emotions of the soldiers, and when it comes to the big truth, he is even more popular.
is a good general.
This roar, did not cause an avalanche again, Hou Junji breathed a sigh of relief, sent two teams of people to take tools to compact the snow, easy to pass, if you shovel snow, it is estimated that it will take a few days, fortunately there is no carriage, otherwise, this will not be able to go.
After about an hour, the road was cleared, and the warriors passed through this deadly gorge carefully and smoothly, without riding horses, but with the reins in hand.
After that, there were also a lot of difficulties along the way, and there were four soldiers who were not careful, and even fell into the valley with their horses, which can be said to be the first death before leaving the army, Hou Junji asked people to write down their names, swore in front of the whole army, chased them as martyrs, and treated their families well, but the corpses are not found now, record their location, and send people to find the bones in the future.
Finally, in the evening of the next day, that is, on the evening of the fifth day after departure, I finally quietly touched an important town on the Tibetan border: Maqin.
Maqin, the border town of Tibet, is located in the Jishi Mountain, the land is barren, the transportation is unfavorable, the economy is backward, the population is only more than 10,000, set up 1,000 households, according to intelligence, there are nearly 1,000 Tubo soldiers stationed here, and the number of troops is divided into upper, middle, and lower three classes. More than 700 people are more than 1,000 households, more than 500 people are medium 1,000 households, and more than 300 people are lower 1,000 households.
Liu Yuan was in a hidden ravine and joined Cheng Huailiang and the people of the pioneer battalion.
Over a hill, that is the border town of Tubo, Maqin, and where the Qianhu Office is located, and the Maqin Qianhu Office is also the first target of the Zhenbo army.
"Brother Cheng"
"Brother Cheng"
"Brother Liu, eldest grandson"
After the three of them greeted each other, they also bumped their fists into each other like brothers.
Liu Yuan saw that there were blood stains on Cheng Huailiang's Mingguang armor, and said in surprise: "Brother Cheng, how can there be blood stains, you have nothing to do, right?" ”
Cheng Huailiang was happy in his heart, thinking that you finally found out, this was deliberately not wiped off, for this moment, although he was happy in his heart, Huailiang still said "don't care" in the process: "It's nothing, it's just that I took a sentry post, grabbed two tongues, and accidentally soiled my master's armor for a while, bad luck." ”
"It's not obscure, it's not obscure, this is a testimony of honor and military exploits, what is this called, compose the flower of honor with the blood of the enemy, Brother Cheng, tell me quickly, how did you kill the enemy?" The first time Changsun Chong went to the battlefield, the feeling of suffocation and excitement before the war made him feel breathless, and now that he heard that Cheng Huailiang had killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions, he was not only not afraid, but asked with great interest.
"Hey, there's nothing, it's just a secret whistle, fortunately there is a clairvoyant eye made by Brother Liu, accidentally discovered, hidden quite hidden, built in the snow, leaving only a few lookouts, I took someone to touch it, when I rushed in, there was only a fire man inside, drunk and drunk, there were three who ate a little lighter, touched the guy and wanted to resist, let me split, the remaining seven, my guards slaughtered four, and the fire chief and two of his subordinates grabbed the tongue." With someone like Changsun Chong echoing, Cheng Huailiang wanted to kiss him.
Everyone carried the sedan chair, and Liu Yuan also congratulated him with a smile: "Brother Cheng has made a meritorious service, congratulations." ”
Cheng Huailiang shook his head and said, "It's just a small achievement, which is much worse than Brother Liu's great achievement." ”
"Both of you have made meritorious contributions, and I have gained nothing, I am really anxious." Eldest Sun Chong looked depressed. Not only did he not make an inch, but he almost fell ill and left the team, dragging down the advance of the Zhenfan army, seeing that Liu Yuan had made a big contribution, and Cheng Huailiang had made a small contribution, his eyes were clear, and he couldn't wait to rush to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
"No, there is a chance." Liu Yuan hurriedly comforted.
"That is, the Tibetan people are said to have three million, and I am afraid that you will be killed at that time." Cheng Huailiang also persuaded.
The three of them were exchanging pleasantries. Suddenly, the herald of Hou Junji took the three of them to his temporary command post, which was actually a cave with a few candles lit and a curtain at the entrance of the cave to block the light. In general, much better than the soldiers in the open air outside.
In order to prevent leakage. The soldiers did not speak loudly. There is no fire or smoke, and the horse's four hooves are covered with thick cloth, one to prevent slipping, the other to silence the sound, and the horse's mouth is also covered with a veil to prevent it from neighing. The men and horses were waiting for orders in the wind and snow, and when they were hungry, they ate a handful of fried noodles as cold as ice, and they were thirsty. grabbed a handful of snow on the spot and stuffed it into his mouth, and melted the snow into water with the temperature of his mouth, no one complained, and no one complained about being tired, Liu Yuan secretly admired it when he saw it.
After the commander of the "See General" arrived, the three of them saluted together to Hou Junji.
Hou Junji waved his hand and said, "Okay, everything is simple during the war, get up and sit down." ”
A pro-soldier sent a cushion, and Liu Yuan and his party knelt and sat up.
"General Cheng, you tell me the situation you have mastered, and let Captain Liu and General Changsun also help to take a closer look, as the saying goes, one person counts short, two people count long, and three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, let's take a good look at how to fight the first battle in Tibet, fight well, and fight beautifully." Hou Junji said lightly.
"Yes, general" Cheng Huailiang stood up suddenly, gave a military salute, and then began to explain: "Maqin, a border town in the southeast of Tubo, from those three [tongues], we know that there are more than 3,000 households, with a population of about 10,000, with a thousand households, and 1,000 soldiers in a thousand households, but their Zampu, that is, the Songtsan Gampo soldiers committed Songzhou, and took away half of the troops, and there were actually 500 soldiers. ”
Cheng Huailiang added: "According to [Tongue's] confession, there are about 1,000 stone of grain and more than 10,000 heads of livestock in Maqin's warehouse, and the grain is behind the Thousand Households, and the livestock are distributed in the land of Maqin. ”
Liu Yuan said curiously: "Is the head of a thousand households special? Isn't it amazing? ”
"The name of the head of the thousand households is Yu Bo Lun, I heard that the martial arts are average, but the identity is extremely noble in Tubo, his father Lu Dongzan is the most trusted person in Zanpu, and his elder brother on Qinling, infinite strength, brave and good at fighting, in Tubo that is the god of war like existence, many people in Tubo are willing to follow their instructions."
Hou Junji said with a smile: "There is only one decent one, if there are no important people, this battle will be disgraced." ”
"General, when are we going to fight?" Cheng Huailiang asked anxiously.
"Yes, let's fight, we have 5,000 tigers and wolves, are you afraid that they won't succeed?" Eldest Sun Chong said loudly.
Five thousand against five hundred, the five thousand people who came were all elite men, ten to one, many people, well-armed, and a victory, absolutely not the slightest doubt about it.
Hou Junji didn't speak, shook his head and said: "Five thousand against five hundred, winning is like taking something in a bag, there is no accident, I want you to come up with an idea, how to attack these five hundred soldiers, so that none of them can escape, and the casualties of our army are very low, it is best to have zero casualties, whoever has a good method will be responsible for commanding this battle." ”
Although it was five thousand against five hundred, it was indeed difficult to achieve zero casualties, and when they heard Hou Junji's request, the three of them fell into deep thought.
"We surround them with 5,000 men, move them with emotion and reason, and make them surrender, so that we can reduce casualties and win without a fight." Changsun Chong spoke first.
"No, let's not say that it is difficult for the Tubo soldiers to surrender, they are proud of their deaths, and if they expose our whereabouts, they will have no advantage in surprise soldiers." Hou Junji immediately vetoed.
Cheng Huailiang thought for a while, and said viciously: "It's better for us to deal with all the sentries first, and then throw flammable things at the thousands of households, burn them with fire, and then send people to guard the door, come out and shoot one by one, and escape with a pair to kill a pair, which will definitely reduce the casualties of our army." ”
"Not bad, but there are a few omissions." Hou Junji immediately pointed out: "As you said just now, the grain is right next to it, and it is easy to burn up the grain, where will we go to replenish the grain and grass at that time?" ”
Hou Junji regarded this battle as a military training, and he had the intention to cultivate the three of them.
Liu Yuan thought for a while, rolled his eyes a few times, and just said a few words, Hou Junji's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Okay!" The battle was handed over to Captain Liu's command. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
