Chapter 457: Capture the Pass (2)
After Zheng Guobao handled Tian Boguang's affairs, Ren Yingying asked him, "Although there are more than 100 people in Ryanstein, although they can kill and fight, but in the Loushan Pass, tens of thousands of horses, if they are really seen to be flawed, they are afraid that none of them will be able to come out." Husband, this time, is it a little too risky? ”
"Lady, I think I am at least eighty percent sure of this, Yang Chaodong wants to be the prince, but he has no capital. He was in Loushan Pass, ostensibly holding the military power of tens of thousands of troops, but in fact, none of these people could be counted on, and he couldn't even control the troops. Tian Niangniang said a word, and Tian Zhenbiao could kill him. At this time, he naturally hoped to attract a few armies as his own capital. Tian Boguang brought these Western cans up, which was equivalent to giving him a pillow when he dozed off, could he be unhappy? With the help of these foreigners, he is close to the throne of the prince. Just rushed to this, he also had to believe that these foreigners were really here to help, who wanted to say no, he was the first to be unhappy. Besides, foreigners collect money to fight, which is also a matter of course, and there are no flaws. ”
"I'm just afraid that someone knows Ryanstein and them and knows that they are the people of the Brocade Guard."
"And that's okay too. The foreigners captured their own chief and presented it to the court, so they got the official body of brocade clothes. It can be said that the court owes salaries, and they are reversed. These mercenaries, who are not known for their loyalty, ask for money. Who pays and who does it, this is the rule of mercenaries, and there are no flaws. Besides, there are still a few people on the mountain, in case it is really seen through, the left and right are just done in advance, and it is not a big deal. ”
sent Tian Boguang away. In the evening of the same day, Mu Qiyuan, the youngest grandfather of the Qianguo family, Liu Ling, the general of the Sichuan army, and Feng Feixiang, the general of the Qin army, came to visit Qincha. Because there is a noble prince of Xiaoguo in the middle, he is not as restrained as other generals, and after entering the door, Liu Ling asked directly: "Qincha, what do you think about this battle?" Now outside Loushan Pass, tens of thousands of soldiers have been stationed, and after you come, we should also hurry up. The longer the days dragged on. I'm afraid that the more fully prepared Loushan is, the more difficult it will be. ”
Zheng Guobao was not angry because of the other party's presumptuousness, but asked with a smile: "I heard that Loushan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack." The Miao people are fierce and good at fighting. It is especially good at mountain confrontations. This. The officers and soldiers of my court are not as good as them. Let's attack Loushan, and the large artillery can't be used. On his pass, there are two bronze cannons that can be used. Isn't General Liu afraid that tackling key problems will be unfavorable and lose his troops? ”
Feng Feixiang was a guest soldier transferred from the Shaanxi border army to Sichuan to deal with Banzhou, and belonged to the Qin army system. It is said that he learned that the imperial court wanted to recruit Matteo Ricci into Beijing, and the Son of Heaven intended to reuse foreigners and purchase Western ordnance. I felt that in addition to Buddhism and Taoism in the world in the future, Taixi Sect might also have a great effect, so I found a foreigner to baptize, believed in foreign religion, and took the name of a religion What is the big bird wind. According to him, this is a special honorific title given to him by foreigners when they see that he is talented and far superior to mortals. It's just that some people who have an understanding of Thai Western religion are speculating that this name is eighty percent Dario style, and it will not be a nondescript name like Big Bird Wind.
However, Feng Feixiang obviously didn't know that he had made trouble, so he praised his religious name when he met people, and forcibly promoted Thai Western religion in the army, and baptized the soldiers himself. If he refused to listen, he would all be pulled out and beaten with military sticks, and all the thousands of sons and daughters under him were all Thai-Western Christians. He taught the three armies according to the doctrine he interpreted, that is, they should not pay about military salaries, food and clothing, and be loyal to their superiors, so that they could enter that heaven after death. There are gold bricks paving, and there are beautiful women. On the contrary, those who refuse to listen to their superiors and ask for their salaries and treatments will be put to hell and tortured in that way.
Relying on this method, he also saved a lot of military salaries, and the troops were more obedient than other people's soldiers and horses. Especially when paying military salaries, they do not bargain with their commanders, and they give as much as they want. I am not picky about three meals a day, and I eat whatever I give. Feng Feixiang made a fortune by relying on this Taixi Sect, and among his colleagues, he also got the nickname of Feng Taixi. When he saw Uncle Guo speak, he also echoed: "Mr. Liu, what Qin Cha said makes sense." Look at it, how dangerous Loushan Pass is, there are cannons on it, when the fight starts, the cannons above are fired, and I don't know how many people will be killed below. There are thirteen camps before and after them, and each camp has to be filled in with our lives. ”
Mu Qiyuan is the grandson of Mu Changzuo, the current Duke of Qianguo, and a famous little grandfather in Yunnan. His Mu family is worthy of his word in Yunnan, comparable to the uncrowned king, and even the vassals of Thailand, Myanmar and other vassals have to give the Mu family a few points. The little grandfather is in the prime of life, born with infinite strength, so that a good meteor hammer, in the three southwestern provinces, is also a well-known hero. He is young and vigorous, which one sees Yang Yinglong in his eyes? In fact, if it weren't for his grandfather's repeated admonitions before the expedition, he wouldn't even pay much attention to Zheng Guobao.
At the moment, he snorted coldly, "Uncle Guo, you are not very competent as the commander of the three armies." Yang Yinglong's thirteen camps seem to be impregnable, but in fact, he is committing the taboo of dividing troops. If he gathers these horses in one place, it will be a hard bone. Now he has scattered his troops and stationed them, and the strength is weak, and we have joined forces to storm a village, and it is precisely with the outnumbered people that we cannot win? As for the bronze cannon, I'm afraid it's a ghost? As far as the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of Banzhou is concerned, whether the cannon is a three-cannon bomb or a five-gun bombardment, it all depends on God's will. Besides, if you eat food and become a soldier, you have to sell your life. The imperial court paid the military salary, and what they bought was their hard work, and if they were afraid of casualties, this battle would have been fought. If Qin Cha is used to seeing the wind and snow in the Beijing Division, and is not used to the bloody smell of the battlefield, it is easy to do. You stay in Chengdu, and the last general will lead a team of men and horses, break Banzhou, cut off Yang Yinglong's head, and repay you. ”
Zheng Guobao shook his head secretly, these people are arrogant and domineering, and they are open-mouthed, those civil officials in the Beijing division are not pleasing to the eyes of the hereditary lords, coupled with their attitude, it is strange that the relationship between the two can be good. This is because I met myself, if I am a supervisor by others, I am afraid that I will first record a black account for Master Mu in my heart, and the relationship between the generals and commanders will not be dealt with.
Feng Feixiang said: "What Little Master Mu said makes sense." We have so many soldiers and horses, and his men and horses live in thirteen villages, plus Loushan Pass. In a village, there may not be many horses, even if the village is built stronger, there is no soldier to guard, it is useless. Let's let Erlang attack hard, break a few of his stockades first, and kill his majesty. The bronze cannon has a limited range, and he can't take care of the first few camps. ”
Liu Ling said: "When the two armies fight, what they compare is courage. If you are always afraid of the dead, you will lose half of this battle before it is fought. Yang Yinglong is a hard bone, if you want to beat him, you don't need tens of thousands of lives, I don't think you can beat him. I, Liu, have always taken the lead in wars, even if I die, I will not die behind. Qin Cha rest assured, this Loushan Pass, Liu Mou Bao hit. Those Miao people, don't take it to heart, when they saw Liu's banner, their legs were weak first, and when the time came, they didn't need to charge, let them run half first. ”
Feng Feixiang said: "Yes, what General Liu said makes sense." Liu Dadao's name, who doesn't know? The big iron knife is one hundred and twenty pounds, and Liu Zongzhen dances like a fly in his hand, which one is not afraid? Back then, Yue Feng rebelled and colluded with foreign feudal clans, but he was not cut all the way by Liu Zongzhen, cutting melons and vegetables. Those Miao people are afraid of Liu Zongzhen, afraid of being in the bones, how dare they put it right? There are Miao soldiers and Kunlun slaves in Liu Zongzhen's family, all of whom are good at crossing mountains and mountains, and they are agile compared to apes. ”
Mu Rui scolded with an angry smile: "Okay, you are a Feng Taixi, but you are left and right." I'm going to ask you, who of us makes sense, if you don't say one, two, three, beware of Grandpa Ben's fists. ”
"Haha, the little grandfather laughed. You are born with divine power and martial bravery, how dare you fight in the end. The last general is a martial artist, who does not understand literature and ink, and has no heart. I listened to a few people who said that it makes sense, and I listen to all of them, but my Qin Jun's sons and daughters want to be promoted, so they have to make up a pen for military salaries, who will help us with this matter?
