Chapter 262: Do You Eat Bamboo Rats?
The native soldiers are good at fighting and are not afraid of death.
This was not reflected in the early Ming Dynasty, where the military power was very strong, but in the middle and late periods, the native soldiers became an indispensable part of the Ming military system.
The Ming Dynasty has always implemented "to raze the raze, to attack the barbarians." policy. Therefore, the general toast will have its own relatively powerful native soldiers. When the imperial court is strong, it naturally has absolute authority over the Tusi, but once they see the decline of the imperial court's military power, it is likely that there will be a rebellion.
This is true of Banzhou Yang's, Extravagant Chongming, etc.
In fact, the reason is very simple, the power of the toast is supreme in his own tribe, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is even the emperor. The Earth Emperor was used to it, and found that the real emperor above was no longer good, and it was normal to have different intentions. In addition, some low-ranking officials oppress the Tu people in every way, so it is naturally easier to provoke confrontation with the imperial court, just one point.
And that's how fame is in popularity.
However, he was purely strong and could not hide the restless heart in his heart.
He didn't think about taking the old Zhu family's country for himself, he knew that he didn't have the ability. But I fantasize that one day I can reach the height of Dali Duan's family, maybe there is still a chance.
Now he is actively working for this lofty ideal. His soldiers have gone through the fierce soldiers and horses from the rebellion of Lu'an, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. This is also the source of confidence that he feels that he can fight with Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers.
Under his command, the native soldiers charged bravely across the river.
Step on the bamboo raft one by one, as if walking on the ground.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Tianfu, who was standing on the walled city and commanding, saw that the other party was within the range of the bow and arrow, and immediately roared and took the lead in letting go of the arrow in his hand.
The native soldiers with bows also followed and shot at the rebel soldiers on the raft.
The two sides were close, and the rebel soldiers were not armoured, so they naturally fell one by one under the bow and arrow, and the clear water of the river below the bamboo raft began to be stained red with blood. This not only did not frighten the attacking rebels, but provoked their ferocity.
Sha Yi, who was standing on the shore and commanding, saw that many of his local soldiers had fallen, and he was so distressed that he jumped to his feet in anger.
"Rush forward! Rush it all! ”
The native soldiers who heard the order naturally moved forward bravely.
Sha Yi only thought about letting his people rush forward, and didn't consider the load-bearing capacity of the bamboo raft at all. In order to show fairness, when the charge was made, Pu Fame and Sha Yi's native soldiers were lined up on both sides.
On the left are Pu Ming's subordinates, and on the right are Sha Yi's subordinates.
Sha Yi desperately shouted to let his subordinates rush forward, and slowly, Pu Mingsheng realized that something was wrong.
"Don't fucking rush! The rafts are fucking sinking! "At this time, the bamboo raft on the right side has been pressed down to the knees by the soldiers." Lao Sha! Didn't you fucking get kicked in the head by a donkey! It's a bamboo raft! Not a vegetable patch in your backyard! Can it stand up to so many people!? ”
Hearing Pu Ming's shout, Sha Yi also realized his low-level mistake, and was about to order the native soldiers to retreat somewhat, but it was too late.
Due to the different weights of the bamboo rafts on the left and right sides, several ropes connecting the bamboo rafts broke directly after a few clicks.
The bamboo raft could no longer bear the weight of the soldiers and capsized directly into the river.
"Hey, hey! Don't pull my pants! ”
"I can't swim."
"Why don't you just hug the bamboo?"
Perhaps it was the hasty production of the bamboo rafts, or perhaps the uneven craftsmanship of the native soldiers, and the scheme of the famous rope raft was flawed, and there were two or three hundred native soldiers who fell into the river. But fortunately, there are many mountains and rivers in southern Yunnan, and most of these soldiers can swim, even if they can't swim, they can't drown with bamboo.
But they fell overboard, and the attack from Tian Tianfu's command will not decrease.
Seeing that the enemy's offensive was slowing down, the soldiers on the low wall took advantage of this opportunity to shoot arrows at the rebels on the river, causing them more casualties.
Seeing that the opponent's offensive was in full swing, his own big bamboo raft was shaking again, and it could disintegrate at any time. In desperation, Pu Mingming gave the order to stop the attack.
As a result, after counting, nearly 200 people were lost in this period of effort. can make the two of them feel distressed, this is their most reliable team.
"Heaven Descends"
"I'll just say, this Cao Cao's level is not good. This bamboo raft is not big in the first place, can it be stable when connected together? Before Pu Ming could say anything, Sha Yi launched the skill of beating a rake.
"Lao Sha! You're embarrassed to say it. You don't even see how many people can stand on this raft, and you desperately let people rush forward!? Now the level of the weird Cao Cao is not good, just you! "Pu Mingsheng is angry! It's okay to insult me, but it's not okay to insult my idol Cao Cao.
"Did Cao Cao sink the ship?"
"Surely not."
"That's your problem." Sha Yi looked affirmative.
"Good. My question, what do you say we should do now! Seeing that Sha Yi put the responsibility on his head, Pu Mingsheng spread his hands with an expression that you looked at.
"In my opinion, let's attack on a small raft. This clear water river is so long from top to bottom. Can they defend themselves? Let's stretch the battle line a little longer and divide the soldiers into teams of 100 people. As long as there is a breakthrough in one place, the rest will be easy to do. As he spoke, Sha Yi found a bamboo branch and compared it on the ground, which looked quite like that.
Pu Mingming saw that Sha Yi really had a trick, and his attitude became serious.
"You see, from the corner of the Qingshui River to the place where we are, it is more than two miles long. Will they be able to defend themselves? It can't be crossed from here, so let's go upstream. I don't believe that their people can defend the entire Qingshui River! ”
"Makes sense!" Pu Ming exclaimed. I thought I was underestimating this sand overflow.
"Then let's build a raft?"
"Let's build it. The ones in the river have to be fished up, and the ones that will be used more will be used next. ”
So Tianfu saw that the opposite side sent people to fish rafts from the river, and ordered people to build rafts on the shore again.
Although they didn't know what they were going to do, at least they didn't attack at this time, which gave a little respite to the transfer of the people in the city.
"Zhizhou, there are not enough bamboos." A soldier ran to Pu Ming's side to report.
"Take someone to chop. Isn't there bamboo on the way here? ”
"Then you have to go to a lot of people, otherwise you won't be able to carry much bamboo."
"Go, go.
Seeing that it was time for lunch, Pu Mingming ordered to eat in batches.
After eating, Pu Mingsheng ordered his men to cut bamboo.
"I don't think this battle can be fought today." Sha Yi touched his nose and said.
"Why can't you fight?"
"Where there is bamboo, how can it be more than ten miles away from here, and you don't need to work hard to walk? Don't you need to work hard to cut bamboo? Don't you need kung fu to make a raft? ”
"So what do you say? Didn't you come up with this method? ”
"I have another idea." Sha Yi smiled mysteriously.
"What's the idea?"
"We pretended to shoot them to chop bamboo, and secretly went to the upper reaches of the Qingshui River to cross the river near Mengle Mountain. When the time comes, after going down the mountain, go directly to the back of this Fenghua Zhou City, and then the inside and outside should be combined, and you can't handle this heavenly blessing? ”
"Makes sense!"
This time it really makes sense, I should have thought of it a long time ago, crossing the river and crossing the river, you have to cross the river under the noses of others, and people won't beat you or anyone.
"That's it! How about a thousand soldiers each of you and me? ”
"No, there are too many people. It is easy to arouse their suspicions. Five hundred is enough! ”
"Then it's decided."
"We also need to keep attacking and get their attention so they don't get suspicious."
"That's a brilliant plan!" Pu Ming's face was admired.
Then the two of them acted according to the plan, what should they do.
From noon to night, Pu Mingming and others organized several sheep attacks, and Tianfu's response was also very positive, and the defense was very tight, not giving them a chance to take advantage of.
It wasn't until it was dark that the attack and defense on both sides stopped.
The 1,000 soldiers sent out sent back the news that the raft had been prepared and asked for instructions on the next step.
"Lao Sha, I think it's better to let them attack at night."
"Not good. Today is the first battle, and it is impossible to be unprepared that night. If you startle the snake and try to take this Fenghua again, I'm afraid the casualties will be great. ”
Sha Yi shook his head and rejected Pu Ming's proposal.
In fact, even a strong attack can be defeated, but they don't have many soldiers, so they have to rack their brains to find a way to reduce casualties.
"Alas. I knew to bring more people. Who knew that his mother's blessing was so stubborn! ”
"Well, it's too late to say anything now. I ordered them to cross the river from the upper reaches early tomorrow morning, and go around the Mengle Mountain, and then they would be attacked from inside and outside, and I don't believe that they would not be able to defeat them. ”
"Then it's decided. The bamboo rat caught by the people below has just been roasted. Take a bite? ”
"Take a bite."
