The way the general Lei Cavalry led his troops to fight was completely different from that of Monang, the way in which Meng Ang led his troops to fight was to divide his troops into multiple roads and advance along a line like a wall, while the way in which Lei Cai led his troops to fight was to concentrate his forces in one place to find the enemy's flaws

After the offensive was blocked, the general Lei Cai led the coalition army to withdraw from the dense forest of Xiangshan and set up camp along the mountain in the area of Changling Mountain and Huangguling, while the king of Manjiang Achalan led the remaining main force to camp in Dalei Mountain, the gateway of the dense forest of Xiangshan, and faced the coalition army across the mountain, in order to consolidate the defense of the line from Changling Mountain to Huangguling, the general Lei Cai transferred the Taizhou army stationed in Turtle Mountain and the Shaoxing army stationed in Longtan Mountain

In the early morning, a sudden heavy rain suspended the offensive of the coalition army in the dense forest, the dark clouds continued to be in the sky, there was no light, it seemed that the rain would not be good for the next day, Lei Qi stood under a pine tree with his hands behind his back and looked at the big thunder mountain not far ahead, although the battle yesterday was a small victory over the Barbarian Jiang rebels, but the coalition army also paid a very heavy price, the main force of the 10,000 border guards was an elite that he had worked hard for three years to train, and the casualties were so large It was indeed beyond his expectations that the combat power of the Manjiang rebels would be so strong, This also caused him to make a change in the established tactics of the Brute Ginger Rebels

After two days of rest, the general Lei Cai led the coalition army to launch an attack on the dense forest of Xiangshan, this time Acha Lan did not lead the troops and the coalition army to the front of the hard steel directly led people to retreat to the dense forest deep in the Elephant Mountain, this time the coalition army occupied a hill will let the soldiers rest in place for a while, a day does not occupy more than two hills, and so on the follow-up troops as soon as they come up and begin to set up camp, see the forest has the figure of the rebels do not chase directly with bows and arrows, this time the coalition army only paid the price of 100 people to occupy the Xiangshan dense forest gateway Da Lei Mountain

After a day's rest, Lei Cai led the coalition army to pour out and launched a frontal assault towards the area of Shuangma Mountain and Dadian Mountain, the threshold of the dense forest of Xiangshan, this time Acha Lan did not retreat but led the troops to rely on the terrain to deal with the rebels, the arrows shot by the barbarian ginger people were overwhelming in the dense forest and shot at the coalition soldiers, and the heavy infantry in the front row were shot by the arrows, either breaking the arrows or pulling them out directly and still on the ground

Individual hoplite with dozens of arrows in the body look like hedgehogs, and the Barbarian Jiang rebels have always kept a certain distance from the coalition forces to prevent them from engaging head-on, just when the coalition soldiers focused on the rebels, suddenly their feet were empty, seven or eight hoplites leaned forward and fell into the trap and were pierced by sharp steel knives, walking and walking, you don't know what mechanism is triggered, it will shoot arrows on the side to make people unguardable, and the Barbarian Ginger people have laid all kinds of traps in the mountains and forests in this area, There are all kinds of traps, such as ground collapses, animal traps, solid wood stakes, bamboo barbed boards, foot traps, etc., and these traps alone caused nearly 1,000 casualties to the coalition soldiers

When the coalition soldiers attacked Shuangma Mountain, the Barbarian Jiang rebels actually used a killer move, and the heavy infantry just kicked up the hill and countless pottery bottles were thrown at them, when the pottery bottles fell on the body and shattered, a stream of black viscous liquid would be splashed, and a heavy armored infantry raised his arm and sniffed it, and was instantly shocked, "It's not good - it's kerosene"

Before the other heavy infantry could react to what was going on, the rockets in the sky shot at them from far and near, and hundreds of heavy infantry instantly burst into flames. The first reaction of the soldier on fire is to quickly take off the iron armor on his body, when the hand pulls the iron armor at the moment of the will is so strong that he can endure the pain and quickly take off the armor, the hand with a worse will is scalded back as soon as he touches the armor, the skin of the hand sticks to the iron armor and is torn off, the soldier on fire can only roll back and forth on the ground with his hands raised to try to extinguish the fire

The heavy infantry that followed behind rushed forward desperately to fight with the barbarian Jiang rebels, and saw the brothers who lived and died together in the past suffered this tragic situation, and the only way to vent their anger was to kill these enemies in front of them in the most cruel way, in the battle, the heavy infantry would first cut off the enemy's hands and feet to make the enemy incapacitated, let them roll on the ground and convulsions to bear this tragic pain, a knife to kill the enemy is a relief

The soldiers in the back row would rush up and slap the heavy infantry with clothes and branches, and some would cover the heavy infantry with dirt to extinguish the fire, even though the rescue was timely, but nearly 100 heavy infantry were killed, with this anger, the coalition army repelled the Manjiang rebels and occupied the area of Shuangma Mountain, this battle The coalition lost nearly 1,000 people and killed more than 1,300 rebels

After two battles with the Manjiang rebels, Lei Cai realized that even if he won the victory, he had to pay a heavy price, and winning the victory with heavy losses could not be regarded as a real victory for the soldiers, and the battle situation in the dense forest of Xiangshan would be more tragic and bloody than before, and it seemed that the rebellion of Changwei could not be quelled by force alone, but also had to try to use diplomatic means

General Lei Cai ordered the coalition army to build a camp along the mountain in the area of Shuangma Mountain - Dadian Mountain, which is equivalent to guarding the door of the barbarian Jiang people, as long as you dare to show your head, I will beat you, for three days the coalition army did not launch a new offensive against the mountain and dense forest, and when it came to the fourth day, a small group of rebels came to call the battle, Lei Cai was too lazy to take care of them, and directly greeted the rebels with a rain of arrows

Although Sun Yuanwu, the prefect of Taizhou, is a civilian official, he is also familiar with some ways to lead troops, these days every other hour there will be scouts to report the battle report from the front line to the Tianqing Shan camp, he will carefully check each battle report from which to smooth out the combat intentions of the Lei Cai, the coalition army has not launched a new offensive against the mountain and dense forest for four consecutive days, he has already guessed the next step of the Lei Cai

On the fifth day, the Shuangma Mountain battalion sent someone to send a new combat order, and Sun Yuanwu asked people to invite Hai Thunderbolt Longchuan and Li Yang to the big tent, and as soon as the two entered the big tent, they bowed to Sun Yuanwu and said, "The last general-student has seen an adult"

Sun Yuanwu put the letter on the table: General Hongting sent someone to send a new will, ordering you to lead the militia to launch an offensive against Baixian Mountain at dawn tomorrow, and occupy the area of Baixian Mountain-Cuishan-Tianyan Mountain and Shuangma Mountain within two days

"Students Commanded"

Sun Yuanwu: Hai Thunderbolt Longchuan has been on the battlefield for a long time, marching and fighting, you should humbly ask him for advice

"Students Remember the Teachings of Adults"

Sun Yuanwu: It's been almost half a month since the mansion left the city

Li Yang: My lord, today is the 14th day

Sun Yuanwu: The government plans to return to Taizhou City on the road in a while, and you can fight this battle as well as possible to avoid unnecessary casualties, and you should take more care of it when you get to Yuanbin in Tianyan Mountain

"It's an adult"

Sun Yuanwu: Do you two have anything to say to your family?

Long Chuan showed a simple smile: Master Lao told the insiders that everything is okay with me

Sun Yuanwu looked at me: What about you

Li Yang: My lord, just like Brother Long, just report the safety of the family

After the matter was arranged, Brother Long stayed in the camp tent to help Lord Sun pack up his clothes, and Li Yang selected two hundred people from the baggage camp to escort Lord Sun back to Taizhou City led by Sun An

Li Yang: Student Xie, you should wait for the good news of the Taizhou Army's victory

Sun Yuanwu got on the horse and laughed loudly, "Haha", then this mansion is waiting for your good news

In the early morning of the next day, the fog in the mountain stream had not yet dissipated, and the Tianqingshan camp sounded the battle horn "woo-woo", this time Li Yang sent 10 battalions of troops, a total of 5,000 people, poured out of the camp in one fell swoop, with the battalion led by Ge Qing-Ganhui-Tieshan-Guanmeng-Qi Sanwu as the vanguard, the four battalions led by Li Zuo-Li You-Sun Wu-Li Pingping were deployed in the second row as the rear army, Li Yang personally led 200 cavalry and 300 pikemen to deploy in the middle of the rear army, and Brother Long led 700 hundred heavy battalions to defend the Tianqingshan camp

Brother Long waved his arms bare-chested at the top of Tianqing Mountain, beating the war drums "Knock-Knock-Knock", with the sound of drums, the townsmen of each battalion trotted all the way to maintain a neat formation and arrived at the designated position, only listening to the angry shout of "Ha", the battalions were ready for battle, and the 1,000 heavy armored infantry standing in the front row struck the shield with steel knives together, "Oo-oo", and shouted "Kill-Kill-Kill" in their mouths

The Barbarian Jiang rebels stationed opposite Tian Qingshan also walked out of the woods, and at this time, a man riding a war horse and holding a big knife came out of the Barbarian Jiang army, and he rode a war horse to a place about 200 steps away from us and stopped, you must know that the distance of 200 steps is already within the range of the crossbow, as long as an order is given, this person will be instantly ranged by the honeycomb, which shows that this person's courage is very comparable

"Can the head of the Li family come out and talk about it?"

As soon as Li Yang heard that person calling him, he rode forward a few steps forward to take a closer look at Aren't it Dorjee, so he rode his horse and slowly walked to the front of the formation: It turned out to be the leader of Dorjee

Dorjee: The head of the Li family didn't expect that our next meeting would be a military meeting

Li Yang sighed lightly: Who said it wasn't, it made people

Dorjee: The head of the Li family and the private you are the best friends of our barbarian gingers, but I will not show mercy when we fight with the prince and our own masters for a while, so you had better not fall into my hands to avoid embarrassment when you get it

Li Yang: It is a matter of time before the leaders of Dorjee have a large army and put down this rebellion, so why not consider leading the people to surrender to protect the lives of these tribesmen

Dorjee raised his head and laughed when he heard this, "Haha, the master of the Li family, it is better for you to surrender to us and save the lives of these soldiers behind you, ah, didn't King Chalan say before, as long as you are willing to come, our barbarian Jiang people are willing to offer you a leader for you."

Li Yang smiled slightly: It seems that it is useless for the leader of Dorjee to say more, so he can only let go of the battle

Dorjee: Master Li, you can do your best to let Dorjee see how much you are capable of

The two turned their horses' heads at the same time and returned to their respective military formations, and when they returned to the Chinese army, Li Yang drew his long knife and waved it forward, shouting "50 steps forward for the whole army", and the commander of each battalion heard that he repeated his order "50 steps forward for the whole army", and the villagers took the lead in attacking the enemy with neat steps, and after advancing 50 steps, Li Yang threw his long knife into the air and "stopped"

Listening to the sound of "ha", 5000 Xiangyong stopped at the same time, Ge Qing and Gan Hui turned their heads in front of me and looked at me waiting for instructions, I nodded to the two of them Ge Qing and Gan Hui shouted: Crossbowmen come forward

1,000 archers and 500 crossbowmen heard this, walked to the front of the formation and stood in three rows, the first row was 500 crossbowmen, they knelt on one knee and put their hands in a shooting posture to aim the crossbow arrows at the enemy, the last two rows were 1,000 archers, they were full of bows and arrows in the woods, when the crossbow was ready to launch crossbow arrows, Li Yang asked them to lower the bow and crossbow in their hands, and the first three rounds of crossbow arrows were shot on the grass in front of the woods

Wait until the fourth round of shooting, the crossbowmen raised the bow and crossbow in their hands, and shot one salvo after another to the barbarian ginger people entrenched in the woods, after each round of salvos, the 5,000 Xiangyong will push forward as a whole, facing the overwhelming arrows-crossbow arrows head-on, the barbarian ginger people can only rely on the big trees to dodge, dozens of rounds of salvo militia groups have not launched an attack on the enemy, for the consumption of crossbow arrows-arrows Li Yang is not stingy at all, because in this battle he put all the belongings of the militia on the ground, Even the Ginger rebels hiding in the woods were amazed, how they could shoot endless crossbow arrows

Seeing that the enemy army had been hiding in the woods and not coming out, even if he shot all the arrows and crossbow arrows, he would not be able to kill many enemies, Ge Qing shouted in front of the formation: The big leader The enemy is hiding in the woods and not coming out, and it is not a way to shoot like this

Li Yang looked at the Hengyan Mountain in front of him: smoke the enemy out with a fire attack

Before the attack on Maple Village and Tian Qingshan, the militia ate traps and arrows, and since then, everyone was thinking that they would encounter this situation in the battle with the rebels in the future, and after everyone's unremitting efforts, they finally found that the traps in the jungle have a common feature, that is, most of the mechanisms that trigger the trap are used in the grass rope, and it is not a simple thing to find the grass rope that triggers the trap in the woods, and then someone suggested that the grass rope can be burned with fire so that the trap cannot be triggered

The crossbowman took out a finger-thick hemp ball from his belt and wrapped some licorice in the middle, and the crossbowman tied the hemp ball to the arrows and crossbow arrows and aimed it at the hillside where the enemy was entrenched, and there would be a group of people among the villagers who held torches to light those hemp balls, and row after row of rockets crossed the sky and shot into the mountains and forests, and the dead leaves and licorice in the mountains and forests were easy to cause fires

The white smoke choked the barbarian ginger people entrenched in the mountains and forests so much that they couldn't even breathe in the atmosphere, and the scorching heat roasted the skin to the point that it was unbearable, and if they continued to hide in the burning mountain forest, they were waiting for death, and dozens of barbarian ginger warriors who couldn't stand it rushed out of the mountains and forests with knives, and the gang was shot by the crossbowmen of the militia as soon as they showed up

The barbarian Jiang warriors hiding in the mountains and forests saw their clansmen fall in front of their eyes, and shouted angrily: "The leader of Dorjee will take us out and fight with them."

Dorjee: What are you rushing, I didn't see that there were all crossbowmen in front of me, and now rushing out is to die

"Then you can't wait to die here."

Dorjee turned around and waved his hand: Let's retreat to the Elephant Mountain Jungle to meet the king of Acharan, where the dark and damp enemy cannot use fire attacks

Seeing that there was no movement in the mountains and forests for a long time, Tie Shan and Tie Feng led a team of 100 people to investigate, only to find that the Barbarian Jiang army had withdrawn, and then the two brothers waved their hands into the forest, "The Barbarian Jiang people have withdrawn"

Li Yang asked Qi San and Guan Meng to take two battalions of brothers to stay to fight the fire, while he himself took the rest of the people to pursue the Manjiang army all the way, so the militia occupied the area of Baixian Mountain without blood, and when Dorjee retreated, the Barbarian Jiang soldiers stationed along the way were withdrawn to the dense forest of Xiangshan, and when the militia attacked Cuishan and Tianyan Mountain, they occupied this belt without much effort, and after completing the established combat tasks, the militia set up camp along Cuishan and Tianyan Mountain

This day can make the big guy tired, as soon as it gets dark, after dinner, the brothers will go back to their respective camps to rest, Li Yang is no exception, wearing a pajama and lying on the bed open, when he is enjoying this comfort, suddenly a person came in the tent, "Ah, lying here"

Li Yang looked up and saw that he was frightened, and quickly stood up from the bed, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes and bowed to the man: The general is here, and the grass people are far away

Lei rode up on the chair and tapped me with his hand: You kid fought a good battle, don't sit down there with a pestle, I have something for you to do

Li Yang hurriedly sat down: What does the general want the grass people to do

Lei Qi: I heard that you have been to the Manjiang Capital before

Li Yang: Caomin had been to the Manjiang Capital before, and it was really a life of nine deaths

Lei Qi gave me a blank look: Don't talk to me for a lifetime, so why didn't you die

Li Yang: General, I won't be able to see you if I don't think about it, so the grass people have to think about this Fa to live

Lei Qi: You go and make a trip to the Barbarian Jiang Capital for me to find out if this Acha has any intention of surrendering

Li Yang: If the general wants to convince the barbarian Jiang people, he must first repay them justice, and this time the Chang Weiguo army rebellion was caused by the collusion and oppression of corrupt officials and profiteers, and the battle will only make the barbarian Jiang people more resentful of the Zhejiang people and thus form a feud with their descendants

Lei Qi: I have already sent someone to ask Yu Tianlu to take the Imperial Front Division to Ningbo Mansion to investigate this matter thoroughly, and it is estimated that it will not be long before this matter will be resolved

Li Yang: If the general can really give justice to the Jiang people, the grass people are forty percent sure - it's just

Lei Qi: Say whatever you want

Li Yang: If the general wants to make the 100,000 people of Chang Weiguo submit, he has to give people some sweetness

Thunder Rider: Then do you have any good ideas?

Li Yang: The general grass people want to end the war with business - in Xu Yi's official position

Lei Qi: It is also reasonable to allow him to use his official position, let's talk about how to stop the war with business

Li Yang: The general's rebellion is also caused by the profiteers deliberately lowering the price of goods, so the grass people plan to use the method of doing business profits to lure them down

Lei Qi: You can't do anything about it, and you can figure it out

Lei Qi's words made Li Yang, who was originally full of fighting spirit, instantly depressed, and when he saw his appearance, Lei Qi smiled proudly: But it's not that you can't give it a try

This made Li Yang instantly overjoyed: General, you agreed

Lei Qi: I said ugly that if the price is too high, I won't admit it

Li Yang: The grass people are now 60% sure

Lei Qi: Okay, you go to bed early, and you will set off for the Manjiang Capital early tomorrow morning

"It's a great general"
