Duan Zhiying opened his mouth, afraid that he would really drive him back, so he had to swallow his anger and bow his head and hurry.

"Look at you kid, you still talk milky, it's the little cock that just crowed!" One of the guards joked with a smile, "However, there is some truth to that." This marching battle formation is not something that you white people can understand, you can't see the front, even His Highness is on foot! ”

Duan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and exchanged glances with Gao Chongyi, obviously, Gao Chongyi was also surprised.

"Isn't there also a horseback ride?" Duan Zhiying's gaze swept away, and it was the car of Mengzhu and the others.

"That's Her Royal Highness the Princess and the female officer." The guard pouted his lips habitually, and mocked: "You are a big man, do you still want to compare with women?" ”

Duan Zhiying was speechless, twisted his head to the side, and walked forward silently.

Duan Wan'er was a little envious, and His Royal Highness Min walked in the car, not without thinking about the barbarian princess. In this way, no one will talk about it, but only take it for granted. It seems that the beauty who wants to change clothes with herself and inquire about how to sing "Dali's Good Scenery in March" is deeply favored by His Royal Highness Min!

The procession marched for about two hours before stopping to rest by a small river. The stove is set up, and the smoke curls up. The rest of the rest, the cooking of the cooking, busy but not chaotic.

As soon as Duan Wan'er sat down to catch her breath, two maids came over and took her away, and came directly to the car of Mengzhu and the others.

Zhu Yongxing was fiddling with two cans of candied fruit while watching and smelling, and Yang Guoxiang was standing behind him. Duan Wan'er recognized that it was the white special preserved fruit "carved plum" that she had dedicated to Princess Mengzhu in the morning, and when she saw that it was untouched, she understood that she was still not trusted. But there is nothing wrong with this, she is the same color as usual, and she stepped forward to give a courtesy.

"Let's talk about how you are going to help our army in Dali?" Zhu Yongxing is not wordy. Straight to the point.

"Your Highness, this matter can only be determined after the people have contacted the people in Dali City." Duan Wan'er said very calmly.

Zhu Yongxing pondered for a while, feeling that it should be okay to let these three people go after four or five days. At that time, the Qing army in Dali must have received the news, and they are not afraid that they will go to report the news again. Well, you can't put it all in. It is better to leave hostages.

"Your Highness, Longwei Pass is dangerous and difficult to attack, if you want to use the boat, the people are willing to sacrifice their meager strength." Duan Wan'er straightened up, reached out and picked up two plums from the jar and put them in her mouth, quickly finished chewing and eating, and said respectfully: "This is my Bai nationality's special preserved fruit, called Carved Plum." The freshly marketed plums are cut out of the pits with a scimitar and pressed into small round cakes with patterns. It is soaked in clear lime water, and then soaked in honey and sealed for half a year. It tastes sweet and crunchy, and has the fragrance of plums. ”

Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly, this woman Bingxue is smart, neither humble nor arrogant, and she is indeed very shrewd. Moreover, he also affirmed Duan Wan'er's usefulness in his heart. Longwei Pass is backed by Cangshan Mountain and faces Erhai Lake in front. Attacking from the water is a good idea.

"On foot. You are a woman, can you still adapt? Zhu Yongxing swept his eyes and saw that Duan Wan'er was Tianzu, so he asked casually.

"Wandering, folk girls have become accustomed to it." Duan Wan'er's calves were sore, but she replied without showing weakness.

"Marching camp. If you pretend to be a man, it will be inconvenient, so you will revert to women's clothes and go with them! Zhu Yongxing beckoned to the two maids, and they were the two strongest ones. instructed them to take care of Duan Wan'er, but in fact, they were monitoring and controlling.

"Your Highness Xie is kind to take care of you." Duan Wan'er bowed her head and saluted.

"Hehe, you look like this-" Zhu Yongxing looked at Duan Wan'er's makeup, felt quite funny, and teased: "When I met yesterday, why did you dress up beautifully, but it also looks good." ”

Duan Wan'er lowered her head, bit her lip lightly, her face was a little hot, it was hard to say that there was a little temptation!

Zhu Yongxing didn't entangle anymore, got up and left with a smile.

Whew, Duan Wan'er exhaled a long breath inaudibly, with the car driving, there is a lot less hard work, it is a good thing!

"Dali has a good scenery in March, the butterfly spring is good for dressing, butterflies fly to collect nectar, which ...... is it for Ah Mei to comb her hair" There was a singing voice not far away, but it was Mengzhu who was teaching the maids to sing.

Duan Wan'er immediately pricked up her ears, and she was very puzzled in her heart. I asked others last night, but I didn't know that the white man had some songs, as well as the yang finger and the six-vein divine sword, and I didn't know what martial arts they were. But this song is real, could it be that when Mu Ying and Lan Yu destroyed Dali, there were still omissions in the historical and cultural books of the white people that were burned? But how did His Highness Min know? One by one, questions rose and lingered in Duan Wan'er's heart.

This bad guy, just now he spoke lightly, and now he is teasing with this mess, Duan Wan'er bit his lip and looked up to find the figure of the bad guy, but he couldn't find it anymore.

Shiping Prefecture, also known as Shiping, in the fifteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1382), Shiping Prefecture was changed to Shiping, and later changed to Shiping, which belonged to Lin'an Mansion.

The topography of the whole state is high in the north and low in the south, high in the west and low in the east, and the middle is concave, like a pinched basket that is carried out to the east, which can be summarized as the mountainous terrain of "three mountains and two rivers", "more than nine points of mountains, and insufficient of one point dam". The topography is characterized by many mountains and few lands, mountains and rivers, parallel mountains and valleys, great height differences, and obvious verticality. Coupled with the subtropical plateau mountain monsoon climate, the forest coverage is high.

"Compatriots kill compatriots, pigs and dogs are not as good, heaven and earth do not tolerate it." "The people are not enough, and you are all slaves, so why don't you rise up and strike a blow." "Drive out the Tartars and restore China." "Slaughter the people, and the sky thunders." "Don't kill and surrender, don't torture prisoners." "Wu Sangui, a big traitor, has been stinking for 10,000 years." ……

Along the way, at intervals, similar slogans could be seen on trees, stone walls, and walls, but they were busy with the Qing army strikers who had just entered Shiping Prefecture.

The striker Wu Guogui is the right-hand man under Wu Sangui. From Liaoxi, he charged into battle, and his strategy and resourcefulness were all of the highest quality, and he made great achievements for Wu Sangui and was loyal. It's just that this person is not good at socializing, and his popularity in the army is not good. In the fourth year of Shunzhi, when the Qing court ordered Wu Sangui to make a list for meritorious generals, the military Chinese official drafted it, Wu Sangui was careless and did not examine it carefully, and Wu Guogui only listed the third-class general.

When Wu Sangui garrisoned Yunnan, he immediately promoted Wu Guogui to a first-class general soldier, which can be regarded as making up for the previous guilt. Wu Guogui was naturally grateful to Dai De, and this time he took the initiative to ask Ying, leading 10,000 soldiers and horses and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers out of Kunming first, taking the sea through the sea, and serving as the vanguard officer to suppress the Yuanjiang Shiping Rebellion.

Watching the soldiers hang ropes to shovel off the slogans written on the high stone walls with lime or paint, Wu Guogui frowned and sighed, he had to slow down the speed of the troops to do these boring things, otherwise let the soldiers behind see it, it would have a great impact on morale, not to mention that there were a lot of insults to his benefactor and Manchurian godfather!

The rebels who entered Tonghai did not fight with Wu Guogui's troops, but retreated in advance. However, the road was damaged a lot, which affected the speed of Wu Guogui's department. There were also these slogans that made Wu Guogui even more upset, he had to give the order again, and when he encountered the slogans and the like, the large army continued to advance, leaving only a small number of men and horses to clean up, and then accelerated to catch up.

In ancient times, when marching, it was necessary to avoid surprise attacks by enemy troops, so it was generally avoided to march in narrow terrain, such as valleys and swamps, because once attacked by the enemy, it was difficult to deploy. If it is necessary to march from a narrow area, it is generally necessary to occupy the high ground ahead for safety. For example, in the area of the water network, it is generally necessary to go through multiple roads, and it is best to keep each road within the distance that can be seen by the other road in the vicinity.

Because there was no telegraph and radio in ancient times, the role of scouts was very important. These scouts were all served by light cavalry, and in order to ensure speed, the scouts did not even wear any protective gear, in order to reduce weight and save horsepower. Because, horsepower is the only guarantee that determines whether the scouts can get rid of the enemy's pursuit and send the intelligence back in time.

But in Shiping Prefecture, the role of the Qing army scouts was greatly hindered. On the one hand, the relationship between complex topography and many mountains and forests; On the other hand, there are sudden and frequent attacks. Whenever they went to a place with steep slopes or dense forests and grasses, the Qing army scouts were afraid of the insidious and unguardable plots.

Familiar with the terrain and terrain, the native soldiers and mountain people appeared in the woods and grasses, using traps, medicine crossbows, throwing guns, bamboo sticks and other primitive weapons, but brought fearful casualties to the Qing army. Yes, most of the scouts can be used as agile and agile soldiers, but people can be vigilant, and warhorses are vulnerable targets. Without horses, the scouts are without their legs, and they are left to survive.

Well, then in groups, reconnaissance by force. But this did not stop the insidious attack, and the rebels used more powerful weapons.

"Boom!" The pile of rubble on the side of the road suddenly exploded without warning, a puff of black smoke rose up, the rubble was crumbled and flew everywhere, the marching scouts were blown up, many horses were injured or frightened, roaring and jumping, and many scouts were hit by sharp stones, screaming and falling off their horses.

Landmines were invented in the Song Dynasty, and Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty invented the earliest trigger mines, using flint as a firing device. When a person stepped on it, the pulley drove the flint to spin and rub against each other, causing sparks to ignite the fuse, and then a mine boomed. However, because of the high price and complex processing technology, it has only been used in a small range. But the availability of ignition devices made of iron pipes, copper wires, glass powder, and sulfur paved the way for the massive use of mines, or similar devices.

It doesn't have to be finely made, it doesn't have to be an iron shell, a stone shell, a powder pack, and some gravel, and after installing a firing device, it is a simple mine. You can use pedals, clips, or you can pull the rope to hit the fire. (To be continued......)
