Chapter 30: Black Wind Valley Sand Table Deduction

Ning Rong Street, Huai Yuan.

Tomorrow is the day to reply to Jia Lian, Yan Hu and Black Panther rushed back from Ping'an Prefecture under the stars.

Based on the information gathered by the two, several people gathered around a miniature mountain model of the Black Wind Valley and began a military meeting.

Jia Qiang sorted out her thoughts and fell into deep thought.

According to the original trajectory of the Red Mansion World, the water in Ping'an Prefecture is extremely deep, and it is even the real reason why Rongguo Mansion raided the house.

Jia Lian went to Ping'an Prefecture twice to do confidential affairs, and he was able to be received by the envoy of the Ping'an Festival, and the envoy of the Ping'an Festival was the leader of the military and government, and he was like a feudal official? !

Even Sister Feng was participating in the lawsuit, and under the pretense of Jia Lian's instructions, she found someone to write a letter to the envoy of Chang'an Jiedu, and handled it properly, it can be seen that even if Jia Yu only holds a title, his energy can be seen.

Bandits are rampant in Ping'an Prefecture, Xue Pan encountered mountain bandits in Ping'an Prefecture and was rescued by Liu Xianglian, the key is that Ping'an Prefecture is only one day's distance from the capital, which shows that behind the prosperity of Daqian, it is like a donkey dung egg on the surface of the light, and there is a bag of mess inside.

"No wonder thousands of troops can't cut through the Black Wind Valley."

Jia Qiang's gloomy eyes looked at the model three plates, and then frowned.

The Black Wind Valley is a large canyon that is more than 60 miles long, the bottom of the valley is like a winding python, and the rock walls on both sides are vertically steep and towering into the sky.

On the rock wall more than 30 zhang high from the bottom of the valley, it is like opening a huge beast's mouth, the beast's mouth is a natural culvert in the belly, there are two school martial arts fields in the inside, accommodating five or six hundred mountain bandits, and there are only two ways to enter the cave.

One is to enter along the sheep intestine plank road that can only accommodate two people along the ridge, and the mountain bandits only need to ambush a few crossbowmen in the culvert, which can be said that flies can't fly in.

Another way to enter is to lift the sling thrown out of the culvert directly and vertically from the valley floor.

The culvert was filled with gunpowder, oil, cobblestone and rolling wood, including all kinds of bows and crossbows.

This is much more difficult than the siege of the city, and it is no wonder that 10,000 people can't attack it.

Moreover, the valley floor can only accommodate a few hundred people, and the large number of people will hinder each other.

……

"It is reported that this bandit leader Liu Heimin is a remnant of the White Lotus Sect, and with the help of the natural danger road, he secretly colluded with the envoys of Ping'an Prefecture and colluded with each other."

Speaking of this, Yan Hu even looked envious, "This guy is like an official mansion, and he actually built a toll booth at the bottom of the valley, blatantly collecting the passage money of merchants back and forth, and even the tribute of the imperial court......"

"The remnants of the White Lotus Sect?!"

When Jia Rong heard this, the tiger's body was shocked, the legendary White Lotus Sect was actually true?

The White Lotus Sect, which began in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, is said to have been created by Shamen Maozi Yuan of Wu County, who had united with Daqian Taizu to resist the Yuan Dynasty and drove the Mongol Emperor back to his hometown, but Kublai Khan left behind a rich and invincible treasure......

During the anti-Yuan period, the power of the White Lotus Sect was extremely strong, and it was not until Taizu won the world that he issued a decree to eliminate and disband, and then went underground.

It is rumored that Taizu and the White Lotus Sect had a discord, perhaps related to the treasure left by the legendary Kublai Khan.

Originally, the White Lotus Sect taught people how to accumulate virtue and do good, take three refuge and five precepts, and not kill, not steal, not to be evil, not to lie, and not to drink.

Those followers did their best to do things that hurt nature and reason, and I don't know how many families were ruined and killed.

"Originally, in this canyon, there were many mountains, and there were very few merchants coming and going.

Later, after Liu Heimin appeared, he leveled the mountain bandits in one fell swoop, and the family was dominant, but he did not dry up and fished, and he was extremely smart.

This guy actually collects tolls like the government, as long as the money is given, it doesn't hurt people's lives!

Ordinary people pass the road, charge two big money, merchants pass the road, according to the valuation of one to two percent, the peculiar thing is that the number of merchants has increased, after all, the road to detour for ten years, the cost is more.

The mountain bandits control the traffic fortress like the government, which can be called a daily income, but it is orderly.

Can you let others sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

The envoys of the Peace Festival sent troops to encircle and suppress several times, but they lost their troops and returned in vain. ”

Speaking of this, the Black Panther smiled casually, "What really made the Black Wind Valley famous in the first battle was that they didn't even let go of the royal tribute.

It is said that Jiang Ke, the king of Wu, relied on his identity as a prince to escort a group of royal silk silk from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to forcibly pass through the Black Wind Valley, without paying tolls, and even killed the mountain bandits at the toll booth at the bottom of the valley, causing Liu Heimin to be furious.

For a time, fire oil, explosives, and cobblestone rolling logs poured down, and the bottom of the valley instantly became a hell on earth, and hundreds of elite armor guards were wiped out, and even a county lord died.

When the Holy Lord heard this, he was furious and ordered the guerrilla general Xie Whale to defeat the Black Wind Valley.

Xie Whale's Zhenwei battalion was dispatched with all his troops, and when he came to the Black Wind Valley, he found that it was like a tiger eating the sky and had no way to start, and thousands of officers and soldiers had died and had not been captured.

The culvert hanging in mid-air was not without its flaws, and if the siege was interrupted by provisions, it would be defeated without a fight.

Who knew that Liu Heimin's house had already prepared, and the food reserves in the cave were abundant, and even during the siege, they colluded with the outside world to replenish a batch of supplies and equipment.

The siege of thousands of officers and soldiers consumed a huge amount of resources, and finally had to withdraw in humiliation.

And Liu Heimin's battle shocked the government and the opposition, and his reputation became famous, and the surrounding mountain bandits defected one after another. He used the Black Wind Valley as a base and quickly radiated to the surrounding areas, and many Orion civilians, and even officers and soldiers in Ping'an Prefecture, have become bandits, and it is reported that there are thousands of people under his command at present.

This Liu Heimin is quite smart, he only collects tolls and rarely kills people, only robs large households, and does not even harass the common people. ”

I have to say that this Liu Heimin is sitting on a dangerous place, stretching a long line to earn money, and he is really a talent.

……

"A cobblestone has no power on the ground, and a cobblestone is ...... if it turns a cobblestone on a mountain of a thousand miles."

Jia Qiang and a few people stared at the sand table deduction, "No wonder no one wants to touch this hot potato, this is really not easy to fight, how do you think you can defeat the Black Wind Valley?" ”

"One thing for sure, because of the terrain, the crowds don't work......"

Yan Hu frowned and continued, "Secondly, the difficulty of encircling is also extremely difficult, it is reported that in the culvert, the grain reserve is enough to consume for more than half a year.

As for the strong attack, even if it is with a bow and crossbow, the vertical height is more than 30 zhang, not to mention that very few people can almost shoot so high, plus the elevation angle, even if it can be done, it will hardly work.

The key is that people are all live targets at the bottom of the valley, and there is nothing to hide.

It is even more illegal to enter from the ridge sheep's intestine path, the mountain is steep and precipitous, not to mention a strong attack, even if no one stops it, it is extremely dangerous. ”

……

"If our people can infiltrate the culvert...... the mastiff rolled his eyes and smiled cheaply, "There is like a munitions depot in this culvert, and it is directly detonated, wouldn't it be even the end of the nest?" ”

"Snort...... Your idea, like a rat in a meeting, how not to be harassed by a cat.

A clever mouse said that as long as you put a bell around the cat's neck, hearing the bell ringing means that the cat is coming, and the question is who can hang a bell around the cat's neck? ”

Yan Hu chuckled, "If you don't talk about detonating explosives, you can't escape by yourself?!" ”

The artillery power of this era was extremely limited, and the Franc machine artillery, also known as the Hongyi (Yi) cannon, had not yet been introduced to Daqian.

The so-called magic spear of the Shenji Battalion is also a fire gun, and it is a big loss of accuracy beyond ten zhang, let alone thirty zhang, and it is quite troublesome to load ammunition, and it can only fire two or three shots per minute.

The key point is that the firebolt does not fire bullets, but stones and iron particles mixed with gunpowder, which is very easy to explode, kill a thousand people, and injure eight hundred yourself.

Even if there are red-coated cannons, it is not an open plain, and it is extremely difficult to carry it in the winding canyon.

The culvert bandit army can be described as the first-class weapons and equipment of the great cadres, which are within the range of each other, and the bandits are condescending, and the natural culvert is used as a bunker, like a pillbox, and it is only the share of being beaten.

……

It is absolutely not feasible to attack with cold weapons.

Jia Qiang recalled the distant war of resistance, and the industrial base was extremely backward, but even the pillbox could be blown up, so the culvert could not be blown up?

As for gunpowder, Daqian's Shenji Battalion has it?!

Gunpowder first originated in the alchemists of the Warring States Period, and did not achieve a reasonable ratio, which can be called an early morning, but it was a late set, and gunpowder was more used in fireworks and artillery battles, indulging in the bizarre camouflage.

Until the current Daqian, the ratio of black powder has not reached the optimum, and the power is extremely limited.

The "black powder" that really has use value is the Franc machine Hongyi cannon imported from the Portuguese at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time brings the most powerful ratio of black powder.

But, as an instructor, Jia Qiang knows the best ratio?!

With the powerful black powder, isn't it a big killer in the era of cold weapons?

"Lao Tzu is a modern warfare instructor, and he can't clean up a few mountain bandits?!"

Jia Qiang covered the charcoal pen to write and draw, and shook the charcoal, "This Zhenwei camp is really lacking, we want it!" Defeat the Black Wind Valley, become famous in one battle, and gain a firm foothold in this Gyeonggi completely! ”
