Chapter 50: Strict Deployment
Da Kui simply sat on the ground and said earnestly: "This time, the Ming army sent 30,000 troops, and Pingliang Town is bound to win." I'm not going to kill you today, you can go...... ”
When the lieutenant heard this, he was pardoned, but his legs were injured but it was difficult to stand and walk. As soon as he got up, he fell to the ground.
Da Kui smiled: "Don't fight for the tiger in the future, otherwise I won't spare you." Pack up and leave when you get back. With that, Da Kui's long sword returned to its sheath, and went to pack the burden of the spear again, and then turned around and traveled all the way west.
The Art of War: Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Da Kui wanted to find out the terrain of Pingliang, so he ran all the way around Pingliang Town. After running around, I have a clear understanding of the flat and cool terrain and landforms.
Pingliang is located in the eastern part of Gansu Province, at the eastern foot of Liupan Mountain, the upper reaches of the Jing River, at the intersection of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo provinces, across Longshan (Guanshan), east of Shaanxi Xianyang, west of Gansu Dingxi, Baiyin, south of Shaanxi Baoji and Gansu Tianshui, north and Ningxia Guyuan, Gansu Qingyang adjacent, since ancient times is the 'place of battle' and 'Silk Road' must pass through the important town.
If there are hundreds of wastes waiting to be rebuilt today, such a business artery is a must for Yuan and Ming. Da Kui will find out the Pingliang left one by one, and then go all the way west to Kongtong Mountain.
When Da Kui arrived at the southern slope again, it was already night. The bright moon in the sky is in the sky, the insects in the four wild fields are singing, and the wind blows the grass and the shadows of the trees are low. Everyone has curiosity. Da Kui didn't believe it in his heart, the mosquitoes on the southern slope were really as powerful as Ouyang De said?
At night, when mosquitoes and flies are infested, Da Kui slows down. In order to test the truth, Da Kui deliberately rolled up his sleeves.
Who knew that it had not been around for less than a moment, and the buzzing sound in my ears was loud. Da Kui directly had an itch in his arms, and when he looked down by the moonlight, he saw that there were several big mosquitoes biting on his arms.
Da Kui gasped and was about to slap. There was another stinging pain in his head and face, Da Kui waved his hand, and at the same time he ran wildly under his feet, and rushed forward like a lightning speed, and rushed to the west of the southern slope in less than half an hour. After passing the southern slope, Da Kui slowed down. Looking down at his arms again, there were several swollen blood bags. In addition, the itching of mosquito bites is unbearable, and it can not help but make people upset.
Not only the arms, but also the head and face are itchy and unbearable. Da Kui kept scratching the itchy places as he walked, and before he knew it, the flesh and blood of the places where the mosquitoes had bitten were blurred. Therefore, Da Kui believed Ouyang De's words, and the mosquitoes on the southern slope can indeed kill people.
I ran fast and went out of the south slope in more than half an hour. If a large group of people and horses pass by, their speed will be slow. The southern slope is dozens of miles long, and it is rugged and difficult to navigate. If the army wants to pass, it will have to be delayed, and I am afraid that it will not be able to get out of the southern slope for a day and night. If you walk on the southern slope overnight, the consequences make Da Kui shudder.
After walking for several miles, Da Kui actually felt a little dizzy, knowing that he had been poisoned after the mosquito bite, and this was the time when the poison was about to attack. Without thinking much about it, Da Kui touched the package carried by the spear for a while, and there was an antidote in the package, but Da Kui ignored it.
I felt something, but it was a slender strip, and the whole body was blood-red. This thing is about three inches long and as thick as a finger, and it looks red and bright and tender, but I don't know what kind of medicinal herb it is. Where did Da Kui still have the heart to taste at this moment, and opened his mouth to take a bite on this red medicinal material.
Under the chewing, Da Kui was not only shocked, but then only felt that his mouth was extremely spicy. Despite this, the feeling of dizziness suddenly subsided.
"Ah!" Da Kui opened his mouth wide and breathed, the red herbs in his mouth had been chewed and swallowed, and at this moment it was actually spicy, spicy, Da Kui was spicy and jumped on the spot, and finally stepped forward and ran away with all his might. While running, Da Kui opened his mouth wide and let the wind blow into his mouth. Who knew that the crooked hit was right, and the spicy feeling in his mouth suddenly reduced a lot.
Dozens of miles away, Da Kui returned to the foot of Kongtong Mountain in less than two hours.
First went to the place where the Ming army was stationed, and saw dozens of large grass huts built under the mountain cliff from a distance. The perimeter is surrounded by thorns and wooden stakes. Although the barracks were rudimentary, they were very well organized.
At this moment, in the dead of night, when Da Kui walked to the door of the barracks, he was immediately blocked by the soldiers.
"Someone, stop. ”
Da Kui took a closer look, but there was no one in front of the door. The barracks were pitch black, and the moonlight could hardly reach here because they were blocked by mountain cliffs. With Da Kui's eyesight, he could only see a vague shadow, but as for where the soldiers on duty were, Da Kui didn't see it.
"I'm Forward General Zhang Dakui. Da Kui shouted. As soon as the words fell, torches gradually lit up in the barracks. I saw Kang Maocai leading more than ten lieutenant generals and colonels to welcome out of the village.
"The Great General is back. A soldier shouted, and the barracks was boiling.
Da Kui greeted him with a smile, and seeing that Kang Maocai was in good spirits, Da Kui couldn't help asking, "Is General Kang okay?"
Kang Maocai smiled and said, "Thanks to Mr. Ouyang, he personally led people up the mountain to collect medicine. Now all the sick soldiers have been healed. ”
Da Kui not only smiled and nodded, but at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Da Kui turned around to see that it was Ouyang De walking in.
"General Zhang, can I get the medicinal materials I want?" Ouyang De smiled and walked in front of Da Kui and the others.
"Thanks to the righteousness of my predecessors, I got the medicinal herbs. As he spoke, Da Kui took off the burden he was carrying on the spear and handed it to Ouyang De. But then Da Kui took out something from his arms, but it was the red herb that he had bitten into.
"I hope that the seniors will teach you, what is the name of this herb, why is it so spicy?" Da Kui asked with the red herb.
Ouyang De laughed and said, "This thing is a 'chili pepper', and it has only been brought into Middle-earth by Persian merchants in recent years. This thing is spicy but can wake up the brain and drive away the cold, this is still a few years ago, the old man occasionally got some seeds, so he planted some in the backyard of Pingliang Jishitang. "After that, the half of the chili pepper in Da Kui's hand was put into the baggage, and it seemed that he cherished it very much.
Next, Ouyang De boiled a large pot of potion for the Ming army, and asked the officers and soldiers in the army to apply it on the flesh of their heads, faces and hands. Da Kui knows the power of mosquitoes and flies on the southern slope, so he urges everyone to wipe them very carefully.
That night, Da Kui convened the generals to discuss the matter. First of all, Da Kui painted the flat and cool terrain on paper, so that the generals could memorize it. Then everyone discussed together how to fight this battle.
Yang Xiaohu learned that the canal east of the southwest slope of Pingliang had been poisoned by the Yuan soldiers, and not only did the root of his teeth itch. During the discussion, he couldn't help but scold, and the generals were also indignant.
In this expedition, Kang Maocai was a partial general, and he was the highest officer in the army except for Da Kui. In terms of age, Kang Mao is already over half a hundred years old, but his face is only more than forty years old. At this moment, Kang Maocai let the generals gossip, but he sat aside without saying a word.
Da Kui knows that Kang Mao is a person as his name suggests, and his talent is brilliant and proficient in the art of war. Therefore, he stopped everyone's discussion first, and hugged his fist to Kang Maocai and said: "General Kang, I am outnumbered by the enemy on this expedition, I don't know if the general has a plan to break the enemy in his heart?"
When Kang Maocai heard this, he immediately got up and clasped his fists and saluted back: "The general must have a plan, so the general might as well say it first." ”
Da Kui smiled slightly, and then said loudly: "This place is still more than 100 miles away from Pingliang, and it has to cross the southern slope. Our army set out tonight, rushed to the southern slope at dawn, and arrived east of the southern slope in one night. Wait until night on the east side of the southern slope, and then take advantage of the night to kill Pingliangsheng and capture Aodun. The generals nodded when they heard this, but Kang Maocai frowned and said nothing.
Da Kui knew in his heart that Kang Mao did not agree with his plan, and waited for him to refute it. As expected, Kang Mao pondered for a moment before saying: "Killing into Pingliang, subordinates think that it is absolutely impossible." ”
Da Kui hurriedly asked, "Why did General Kang say that, and what's wrong?"
Kang Maocai continued: "There are 10,000 soldiers, although they are a rabble, but there are many people. I am afraid that it is inappropriate for our army to rashly march under the unclear situation of the enemy. ”
Da Kui smiled slightly and asked, "What about General Yikang's plan?"
Kang Maocai smiled bitterly: "This battle must be a hard battle, but not in Pingliang Town, but here." As he spoke, Kang Maocai pointed to the topographic sketch on the table. It has to be an open area north of Pingliang and south of Maweiliang in the hinterland of Liupan Mountain.
Da Kui smiled again and said: "I don't know much about this art of war, General Kang don't go around the corner, just say it." ”
Kang Maocai continued: "Our army has 5,000 elite cavalry, which can be divided into three parts. A group of 2,000 people, ambushed on the horse's tail beam. A group of 1,000 people was divided into zero, and every 200 people were in a group, and they were ambushed around Pingliang Town, leaving only the north side. A group of 2,000 people is the main force. After saying that, Kang Mao looked around at everyone, looked at everyone's puzzled faces, and then said carefully: "Every two hundred people are in a group, all of them tie up branches behind the horses, and drag up the dust and smoke to be suspicious soldiers." When the Yuan soldiers came to fight, the main force of 2,000 men met them face to face, and they must defeat the enemy who came to attack in one fell swoop. ”
After a pause, Kang Maocai said again: "If the Yuan soldiers are defeated again and again, they will inevitably abandon the town and leave." Since then, the main force and the suspicious soldiers, a total of 3,000 people, have followed and killed, and they will surely win a great victory. However, there were 10,000 soldiers, and naturally they could not be killed for a while. Pingliang Town is dozens of miles away from Mawei Liang, and when the Yuan army fled to Mawei Maliang, it is expected that only half of the soldiers and horses came. At that time, the ambush soldiers killed and the pursuers attacked before and after, and they would definitely be able to annihilate the Yuan army. After that, Kang Maocai smiled and said: "This is the flowering of the iron tree of the thirty-six schemes." ”
Hearing this, Da Kui couldn't help but high-five and exclaimed: "No wonder Brother Tang strongly recommended General Kang to me, General Kang is really the reincarnation of Kong Ming, admire and admire." ”
Kang Maocai's old face turned red, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "I can't do more than the light of fire, there are many resourceful people in the Ming army, and Marshal Xu Da is even more scheming." I'm ashamed of myself, and it's hard to do it. How dare you be the name of Kong Ming's reincarnation. ”
Da Kui laughed and said: "General Kang should not be too humble, and I hope that General Kang will show me, how should we use the troops?"
Kang Maocai was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "General Zhang is the chief general of the first army, how dare his subordinates make a mistake, and I hope that General Zhang will give an order." We are to obey. ”
Da Kui then turned pale and ordered: "General Kang listens to the order." ”
Kang Maocai hugged his fists and said: "The book is here." ”
"You bring a thousand soldiers and horses as suspicious soldiers. ”
"The subordinates obeyed. Kang Mao led the order.
Da Kui continued: "Yang Xiaohu listens to orders. ”
Yang Xiaohu came out and hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates are here." ”
Da Kui raised his voice and said: "General Yang led 2,000 men and horses to set up an ambush at the tail beam of the horse as an ambush. ”
Yang Xiaohu raised his voice and responded: "The subordinates respect the order." ”
Da Kui finally shouted: "The rest of the generals will join General Ben and meet the Yuan army with a main force of two thousand. ”
The generals shouted in unison: "Obey the general's orders." ”……。
