Chapter 120: Dragon and Tiger Landscape II

Chen Cao listened carefully to Lu Xiangsheng's arrangement, thinking that Sun Chuanting in history had indeed never charged into battle, and had always been in command as the commander, while Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the Tianxiong Army, often took the lead in charging according to his own good martial arts, if it weren't for being outnumbered, he wouldn't have died in Julu.

Chen Cao's positioning for the two is that these two people run in with each other and complement each other, Sun Chuanting makes suggestions and plans to coordinate the overall situation, and Lu Xiangsheng leads the troops to command, which must be flawless in cooperation.

"Yes," Chen Cao agreed with Sun Chuanting's opinion, "but Ben Bo thought there was no need to leave a gap. Looking at the puzzled eyes of the two, Chen Cao added: "The fighting method of encircling three missing one is very practical, but it is not suitable for this kind of small-scale battle, how can it be a big battle of more than 10,000 people, our army is well-equipped, and there are a lot of soil mines, if this kind of cattle knife can make them escape, after returning Ben Bo ordered the disbandment of the guard regiment;

The Yi people do things and talk about their set of rules, this group of She people, kill half of them, keep half of them, and the half left behind will be used to negotiate with the She people in the future, if they resist stubbornly, let only the Han people exist in Luxi after that. ”

Sun Chuanting was shocked in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Chen Cao would be so decisive in doing things, but after thinking about it carefully, this decision is still more pertinent: "Yes, the lower officials will arrange it." ”

...

Dragon and Tiger Mountain, in the Han Heavenly Master's Mansion

Shi Gui, the prefect of Guangxin, and Zhou Chengming, the prefect of Guixi, heard that there were official reinforcements coming, so they hurried to the Shangqing Palace to find Zhang Guoxiang, but because things on the mountain did not come to fruition, they could only go back to find the little heavenly master Zhang Xianyong.

"Little Heavenly Master, I heard that the imperial court reinforcements are coming, I don't know if there is any exact news?" Zhou Chengming asked anxiously.

Zhang Xianyong's old god is here, to be honest, even if the She people hit the mountain, they will not be what they will do to Longhu Mountain, after all, so many years of preaching have made the surrounding ethnic minorities have a good impression of Longhu Mountain, and everyone respects the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain: "The county does not need to worry, there are indeed imperial court reinforcements arriving, but who led the troops is not clear, if it is getting late today, I think it will come tomorrow to relieve the siege..."

Shi Gui also felt that what Zhang Xianyong said made sense, so he said: "Zhou Zhixian don't be in a hurry, you can quickly go and order the officers and soldiers on the mountain, let them prepare early, and only wait for tomorrow to cooperate with the outside and catch the people off guard." ”

Zhou Chengming hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Yes, the next official will arrange it." ”

Sending the two away, Zhang Ru tiptoed to Zhang Xianyong's side, sneered with a pouted mouth: "Big brother, you see that these people are still playing official power, and they don't want to think about the unlucky appearance of the ass who was chased by She at that time. ”

"Shhhh ”

Zhang Ru said disdainfully: "I'm not afraid, we saved their lives, they owe us a great favor from Longhu Mountain." ”

Zhang Xianyong looked at the place noncommittally, and muttered: "After the flying pigeon sent the message, it should have arrived, but it came so quickly, I don't think it will be the person of the grandfather of the country." ”

Zhang Ru looked into the distance curiously, listened to Zhang Xianyong's words, and then mocked: "Big brother thinks a lot, what those guards look like, big brother doesn't know, Grandpa Guo's reinforcements must still be on the way, according to me, I can't beat down with 5,000 fewer people, I'm afraid it's the officials and soldiers from Raozhou Mansion who came back, hey, it's a death sake..."

"You..." Zhang Xianyong was about to make a move, but Zhang Ru had already slipped away.

...

Lou Xingye jumped from the ordinary people to Chen Cao's personal soldiers, and then the deputy head of the regiment, although he didn't know the grade, but he was also in charge of 600 people, and he was also a garrison in the army.

Before dawn, he set off with a battalion of men on horseback, and left with Huang Degong's men and horses, and the two of them divided into left and right wings according to the order and headed towards the mountain gate of Longhu Mountain.

When he was about to arrive at the foot of the mountain, the scout who was exploring the way in front came back quickly and gave a military salute to Lou Xingye: "Deputy commander, I found the camp of the She people in the three miles ahead." ”

Lou Xingye grabbed the reins, and then ordered: "Pass the order, the troops will reach the designated position, wait for Commander Huang to send the signal, and we will attack together." ”

Chen Cao and Sun Chuanting set off last, because Lu Xiangsheng had a task to leave first, and the two rode along to take a look at the scenery around Longhu Mountain, they had never even been to Longhu Mountain in that era, and now they look at it hundreds of years in advance, and they really feel that the scenery is pleasant.

"Boya, it is said that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, now look at this Dragon and Tiger Mountain, what do you think of this sentence?" Chen Cao looked ahead and said.

Sun Chuanting thought about it for a while, and then said: "After following my uncle for a long time, Fang also knows that many of the things in the book are deceitful, if there are really them, then they are also individual, and the lower officials still think that good mountains and good waters can raise good people, just like other places in our Ming Dynasty." ”

"That's different," Chen Cao shook his head: "Everyone says that it is bitter cold outside the Guan, and that's because the people who say these words have not really been outside the Guanwai." Chen Cao said and became energetic: "Do you know why the Tartars wanted Guangning's territory before?" ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head, at that time he was only a magistrate, where could he know those secrets outside the Guan.

"The Tartars said that they started between the white mountains and black waters, referring to the Changbai Mountains and the Heilongjiang River," Chen Cao said quite proudly: "The reason why they want to rebel is because the two places live in their way of survival, and they can't survive, these people don't produce, they only know hunting, tens of thousands of Jurchens, even if the Great Khing'an Mountains are big, it is impossible to have so many prey to feed this group of people, you say that they are not like the Mongols, at least the Mongolian tribes will graze, what do you think?" ”

Sun Chuanting listened with interest: "According to what Uncle said, if the lower officials live there, they should also be dissatisfied. ”

"Li Chengliang's approach is indeed a little inappropriate," Chen Cao shook his head with a pouted mouth: "After sleeping with someone else's mother, she turned her face and didn't admit it, and if you were anyone, you would definitely have to fight with him, so they took advantage of this to raise troops, and all they asked for was a large piece of land where the Liaodong Metropolitan Division was located, and they wanted us to be undefended in Guangning, and they could graze freely;

Hey, it's too cold in the Northeast, the season from summer to autumn is only five months, and the remaining seven months are spent in ice and snow, and no one can stand it, not to mention, the Northeast is also rich in products, but our court won't take advantage of it..."

"Uncle seems to know a lot?" Sun Chuanting was curious.

Chen Cao smiled and shook his head: "In the future, these lands will be really good lands, and compared to Guanzhong Plain, it is just an existence that asks for food." ”

Sun Chuanting was surprised that Chen Cao compared Shaanxi with Liaodong, and because Shaanxi was not as good as Liaodong at all, he couldn't find a reason to refute it, and he knew too little.

The two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain as they spoke, looking at the various peaks of Longhu Mountain in the distance, Chen Cao nodded: "If you really raise people, Zhang Tianshi is still very good at choosing places." ”

'Chirp...'

Three sharp sounds accompanied by red light unfolded in the early morning sun, and people could vaguely see the red flames.

The She people, who had long been detected by the officers and soldiers, were not afraid of the armed forces at all, and one by one they held spears, bamboo arrows and shields to block the front of Lu Xiangsheng's army.

The herald shouted to the Sheren: "The Ming Dynasty has ordered Wu Bo to lead the army here, and orders you to wait for the She people to lay down their weapons, disarm and surrender, so that there can be a way to live..."

There are many She people who can understand Chinese, but they are used to listening to the old routines before the official army attack, and they look domineering, but in fact, they flee as soon as they fight.

So much so that when the leading She people saw this, they raised the long scimitar of the She people and shouted to attack in their own dialect.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't have imagined that these people had become arrogant to this point: "Battalion Commander Liu, come according to the training time." ”

The battalion commander Liu Dahai stepped forward with a knife and shouted: "All companies are ready, raise their guns..."

The six hundred raised their flintlock pistols one after another, and looked intently at the Sheren who was running towards them in front of them.

"Two hundred paces away... Ready..."

Liu Dahai took out the Yanling knife and raised it high, until she had already run to a position one hundred and fifty steps away from the position, and then waved the long knife: "Put..."

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang...'

After the first round of shooting, more than 100 She people who were running in front were shot, because they only had their own clothes and no armor to protect themselves, and they were killed on the spot one by one.

After the first round of shooting, the leading She people were frightened by the firepower of the officers and soldiers in front of them, and immediately asked the running clansmen to retreat and retreat behind the shield wall of the camp to avoid the muskets of the officers and soldiers.

Previous battles had taught them that the officers and soldiers had limited use of muskets and that buckshot could not be lethal to them behind the shield wall.

Another signal flare sounded, and Huang Degong and Lou Xingye ordered the troops to advance with guns raised, preparing to encircle the She people in front of the mountain gate.

After hearing the sound of muskets under the mountain, everyone in the Heavenly Master's Mansion ran out of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and Zhang Ru, who was full of interest, also went down the mountain with her, her purpose was very simple, and the long-term boredom made her want to see how the official army was defeated again.

Zhang Guoxiang couldn't sit still, and went down the mountain together accompanied by Shi Gui, after all, the officials and soldiers came, if they won the war, he, a contemporary heavenly master, was also obliged to entertain the people who came.

Just as the people on the mountain went down to the stone workshop in front of the mountain gate, the gunfire was loud again.

Huang Degong couldn't help but want to ride his horse and rush over to kill those She, but when he entered the Dingwu Army, he knew a rule, unless a melee broke out in the big army, if the commander of a regiment took the lead in the charge, he would be punished regardless of whether he won or lost, so he pressed his impulse and shouted anxiously: "Raise your gun and shoot, move forward smoothly..."

Even if you hide behind the shield wall, the strength of the buckshot shot within 100 steps can still penetrate the shield wall and hit the She people in the back, thus bringing a fatal blow to the She people in the camp.

Chen Cao couldn't help but shake his head, five hundred primitives were under the muzzle of the musket, it was the mantis arm as a chariot: "A cup of tea can end the battle in front of you." ”

The battle situation at the foot of the mountain was clearly seen by the people in front of Shifang, and they were dumbfounded, and Zhang Ru was even more frightened by the bloody scene in the distance and hid behind Zhang Xianyong.

Zhang Ru: "It's so terrible..."
