Chapter 576: Ba County Sends Troops
After disbanding the surrendered army, Bai Song ordered to be stationed in the mountain pass.
This move made a lot of people very puzzled.
After all, life in the mountains is hard, and the heavy rain has just passed, and the mudslide has made it a mess everywhere.
Bai Song did not explain in detail, and immediately summoned the blacksmiths accompanying him and gave some drawings, asking them to use the ores in those mines to make iron on the spot, and they didn't know what they were planning to make.
The city of Fuling was attacked, and overnight, less than 100 of the 2,000 garrisons fled.
The news soon reached Ba County.
Bajun is an important town in Shu, supporting the Chengdu garrison, the garrison of the Holy Lotus Sect is full of 30,000, and the general of the city is the Qinglong envoy of the Holy Lotus Sect.
This person has strong martial arts, has been in the late stage of Peiyuan Mirror for 20 years, and he is also a general, knows the art of war, and is a very difficult role.
Even in Li Jing's army, many people know his name.
Now Yuwen and Zaba County are in charge of front-line supplies.
Today, I was shocked to hear the news from Fuling, which is 30 miles away.
In the palace of the Taishou Mansion in the city, Yuwen and angrily drew his sword, and met the generals who abandoned the city and fled under the beheading hall.
"There are two thousand defenders in Fuling City, and there are only a few of you left overnight? You still have the face to see me! ”
"The general is angry, we ...... We don't want to ...... It's too powerful, and the subordinates can't do anything to resist desperately! ”
The rest of the soldiers also cried: "Yes, general, the enemy is too powerful. ”
"Say! How many troops are coming? ”
"It rained heavily last night, and I couldn't see it clearly in the chaos, but it was estimated that there were one or two hundred people."
"Smack!"
A heavy slap fell, sending the guard spinning around and his brain buzzing.
Yuwen roared: "You should be old and confused? Or are you already stunned? Can a city with 2,000 men be captured by just a hundred men? ”
"General, subordinate...... What the subordinates say is true...... It is true that there are not many enemy troops, but ...... But each of them has a special skill, and they are very powerful......"
"Also, general, those people are not ordinary Tang Jun, they all practice kung fu, many people can fly in the sky, we are not opponents at all."
At this time, Yuwen and a strategist with a gloomy face behind him walked up quietly and whispered: "General, when you hear this, it seems to be a group of martial arts people. ”
"Martial arts people? How can it be? Yuwen Ji's face was full of disdain, "Those people in the martial arts have always been scattered, how can they attack our station?" ”
"General, don't forget, what happened in Jingzhou not long ago."
Yuwen Ji's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You mean the Hero Conference?" ”
"Exactly, the Mo family's actions have completely failed, and those martial arts people have been imprisoned by the Tang Army, could it be that those people have already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty?"
"Descending Tang? It's even more unlikely! I don't know about those people in the martial arts? It was not easy for them to join the Holy Lotus Sect, so how could they have anything to do with the imperial court? ”
"But...... Apart from those people, who else can directly capture Fuling overnight? Even if the number they said was wrong, if the Tang army made a detour to Fuling, we would not have any news at all. To enter Fuling, it is necessary to take the mountain road, and the large troops cannot climb over the lofty mountains and mountains at all, and only a small force of more than 100 people can bypass our outposts. ”
Yuwen Ji thought about it again and again, but he really couldn't think of any other possibility.
After a few hesitations, Yuwen He restrained his anger and waved his hand to a few people in the hall.
The defeated army from Fuling was taken away, and there was a new problem in front of Yuwen Ji.
The strategist saw that there was no one left and right, so he stepped forward cautiously and said: "General, there are iron mines and craftsmen in Fuling City, and now that Fuling City has been lost, it is difficult to complete the task given to us by the above." ”
"Pass the order, transfer 5,000 elites, and go to Fuling immediately, and General Ben will personally go to suppress the bandits!"
"General, wouldn't that be too risky? I heard that the people in the rivers and lakes gathered in Hero Village are very powerful, our task is to garrison Ba County, and the task of dealing with the forces of the rivers and lakes was originally the Mo family. Either pass the news to the Mo family and let the Mo family think of a way to deal with it. ”
"Humph! What bullshit Mojia? General Ben has never put it in his eyes, but he is flattering in front of the young master, so that he can be reused, everything depends on them, when will our great plan be completed? Thinking about the matter of Hero Village, they are simply unreliable. ”
The strategist frowned slightly, and then asked: "Is the 5,000 people less, after all, the other party can capture the city of 2,000 people overnight......"
Yuwen Ji sneered: "It's just a group of rabble, no matter how strong your personal strength is, it is useless in front of the army!" The defeat of Fuling City is just that those wastes are negligent in their precautions, and the army of more than 100 people is wiped out with an army of 5,000 people, and it is enough for people to laugh at it when it spreads! Don't forget, we also have the strongest Secret Guard in the Holy Cult at our disposal. I will give the order to assemble today, set off tomorrow, and exterminate the thieves in Fuling City within five days. ”
……
Heavy rain was followed by heavy snowfall, and the weather in the mountains was unpredictable.
The camp in the col had begun to take shape, and the supplies were not scarce, and the people in Fuling City gradually accepted this less vicious team, and every day the people spontaneously sent supplies, and then left in a hurry.
After the hardships of the first two days, more than 100 people gradually adapted to life in the mountains, but everyone still didn't understand what was the point of stopping in the col for a few blacksmiths to make something?
The blacksmith made iron every day, trial and error.
The drawings given by Bai Song are not complicated, but more iron is used, and it is to make a heavy and large thing.
Bai Song was also very anxious, and urged the blacksmith to hurry up every day.
After two days of exploration, the craftsmen gradually developed an eyebrow, but it would take a whole week to fully produce it.
Fortunately, there is a mine in this mountain pass, and the iron ore is constantly inexhaustible, otherwise it is really impossible to make it.
At the same time, there are various other ores in the mine.
Under the heavy snow, Bai Song began to experiment.
Everyone was very concerned about what the alliance leader was brewing, and some even made bets and speculations in private.
Early this morning, Bai Song took out a pile of gray-black powder, and then wrapped it into a round ball with sand and gravel, filling it with gray powder, leaving only a small hole and inserting a thin wire.
Everyone gathered around curiously and asked Bai Song what he was doing.
Bai Song didn't say anything, just put the ball in the snow and lit the thin thread with fire.
The crowd gathered around and watched as the thin thread burned into the ball of sand.
Suddenly, there was a bang, the sand ball exploded, and the fine sand and gravel splashed the surrounding people, and some small stones hit the people and hurt, and everyone screamed in pain and scattered.
"Hey, what is this?" Long Shan wiped the dirt on his body, and in the face of such a strange scene, he asked again and again.
Bai Song was very satisfied, and only said: "It's done!" ”
