0519, take the city in the night

Huo Lianshan was born in Luoyang, and conspiracy is his specialty.

Especially in the first few years of Wenyue Villa, the old master Miao Sanguan personally served as a teacher, of course, it was not given in vain, and he knew a lot about some basic common sense of marching and fighting.

Huo Lianshan ordered Acuo Rize's Dangkou battalion and Yang Hu's cavalry battalion to attack the two passes in two ways, respectively, and he himself parked the army behind, of course, there were other considerations.

The first is to transfer out the cavalry battalions in the Chinese army and advance lightly. We must do our best to cross the two armies in front of us, rush to Luchuan to comfort the envoys overnight, and take the enemy by surprise.

The Luchuan Propaganda Envoy is thirty miles south of Huju Pass, and it is there across the river.

At such a close distance, it is absolutely impossible to attack during the day, and only by raiding at night and night can we take it by surprise and attack it unprepared. Hold all the enemies under the covers, lest they run away.

After the three armies went out, Huo Lianshan was still not at ease, so he took out 600 Kong Ming crossbow chariots and set off urgently with 150 crossbow chariots, and the destination was the Luchuan Xuanfu Envoy.

To reinforce the ballista car, Huo Lianshan did not want them to fight, but to undertake the next defensive tasks.

Huo Lianshan knew very well that after breaking out of the three passes, it was a strange area.

Because of this, it is a crucial issue to completely take down the Luchuan Propaganda Envoy and then build it into a rear base of his own.

The Dehong area under the jurisdiction of the Luchuan Xuanwei Envoy belongs to the descendants of the Guozhan Kingdom.

The historical Nanzhao Kingdom is the bloodline of Guo Zhanbi, who have lived and multiplied in the Nanmao River (now Ruilijiang) basin for thousands of years.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu (1382), the Ping-Burma Propaganda and Comfort Department was set up, in the twenty-fourth year of Wanli (1596), Pinglu City (now Ruili County) was built, and in the thirty-second year of Wanli (1604), the Mengmao Pacification Division was set up.

In the forty-eighth year of Wanli, that is, the year when Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun died, the Tu people here took advantage of the favorable opportunity of the imperial court turmoil to kill the Han officials of the Mengmao Pacification Division and rebelled.

For a time, the southern sky changed color, and rebellion became the wind.

The Mubang Propaganda Mission, the Mengyang Propaganda Mission, the Cheli Propaganda Mission, and the Laos Propaganda Envoy rebelled one after another, and the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma took advantage of the situation to rise, and in the blink of an eye, it was a 30-year turmoil.

During this period, the palace of the prince of Qianguo Mu made three false southern expeditions, and none of them really hit the front line of Longchuan and Zhenkangcheng, all of which were to kill good people and fool the imperial court, and the rebels became more and more rampant.

In the face of this kind of good form that can profit from chaos, the Burmese Arakanese Minye Suoji was unwilling to be lonely, and spent a lot of money to recruit a group of Francois (Portuguese) mercenaries to lure the wolf into the house, establish a What Arakan Dynasty, and the Donghu Dynasty started a bloody war, and the population began to decline sharply.

A good piece of Fanyi land in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty has been made into a miasma, and the people are not happy. As a result, the Dutch and British colonists seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and forcibly occupied the Shakang line to establish the Anglo-Dutch East India Company.

The current so-called king of the Taungoo Dynasty, whose name is Talon, was temporarily entrenched in the line of the Ava Xuanfu Envoy (south of present-day Mandalay) to survive.

Huo Lianshan ordered the cavalry battalion to be the last to strike first, that is, to seize Pinglu City by surprise overnight, seize the Nanmao River crossing, and open the southward passage for the follow-up troops.

Huo Lianshan's purpose is very clear, and he has only one belief in his heart:

Huo Quai, the hussar general of that year, was able to sweep the Xiongnu royal court alone and establish a great cause.

This time, the Xiong family army went south, and Huo Lianshan wanted to inherit the glory of his ancestors, and hit the territory of Awa Xuanfu in one go, captured the king of Donghu alive, and personally escorted him to his master Xiong Prince.

Could it be that Huo Lianshan really has any great national and national ambitions in his heart? No!

Huo Lianshan didn't have his own thoughts at all, the master said to hit whoever he wanted, and the master said to kill whoever he wanted.

He just wanted to catch a rebellious king with his own hands, and then show off in front of Fang Qianxun and Xiong Kaishan to satisfy his vanity.

Because he has been suppressed by these two people for too long, this time he has a great opportunity to show his face, so Huo Lianshan will definitely not let it go. That's all.

The commander of the cavalry battalion of the Chinese army is a surviving brother under the original fire silver sword lone wolf, whose name is Feng Baosan.

Feng Baosan was rescued by Huo Lianshan when he swept the Hexi Corridor, and he belonged to one of the descendants of Prince Xiong, so he commanded the cavalry battalion of the Chinese army.

For Feng Baosan, although Huo Lianshan is three years younger than himself, he is his savior.

Before failing to protect Huang Yanying, the commander of the Western Route Army, Feng Baosan was about to draw his sword and kill himself as soon as the battle ended, but he was still stopped by Cao Cuiyun.

"You deserve to fucking die, but you shouldn't die in your own hands, but on the battlefield, at the hands of the enemy. Lao Tzu will give you a chance to die now, that is, take your cavalry battalion and run for thirty miles overnight, and take Pinglu City to Lao Tzu before dawn tomorrow. ”

After Huo Lianshan took over the command of the army, he knew from Cao Cuiyun that Feng Baosan wanted to commit suicide, and then said the above two sentences.

Feng Baosan didn't say a word after receiving the order, and ordered the remaining 900 or so people in the cavalry battalion to put down all the superfluous things, only keeping a horse chopping knife, a four-stone bow, and two pots of arrows, and then it was like a hurricane rolling towards Pinglu City thirty miles to the south.

Huo Lianshan ordered Feng Baosan to fight this battle, which was to avoid damage to Acao Rize and Yang Hu, because after the Dangkou Battalion and the Xiaocai Battalion crossed the river from Pinglu City, one wanted to capture Hanlong Pass, and then directly raided Mubang Xuanzhi Envoy. One wants to capture Tianma Pass, and then raid Meng Yang's Xuanzhi Envoy.

It's not easy to get a few people, so you have to be fast. Therefore, Feng Baosan was ordered to undertake the task of pioneering.

"All dismount and stay quiet!" The black Pinglu City appeared in front of him, and Feng Baosan shouted in a low voice: "The soldiers bring the Flying Tiger Claw with me, climb into the city and open the north gate." ”

Feng Baosan's personal martial arts are not strong, and his greatest ability is to use the Flying Tiger Claw to climb the wall. Back then, it was common to follow the lone wolf of the Flame Silver Knife to break through the Hexi Corridor and climb over the Great Wall.

Huo Lianshan ordered the cavalry to attack the city, it must be a joke on others, but on Feng Baosan, it just happened to make the best use of people's talents and materials.

Feng Baosan's 36 personal soldiers, all of whom were survivors of the original Mingyue Fort, were all good at climbing over the wall and entering the house.

When they approached the base of the wall, they had only two pieces of equipment on them: a knife with bull's ears and a slender rope attached to the claws of a flying tiger.

It is inconvenient to carry a long weapon to climb the city, and a one-foot-five-inch long ox-eared sharp knife is the best equipment for assassination.

Feng Baosan's left hand pressed behind him, and all thirty-six personal soldiers were already squatting under the city wall.

Feng Baosan's right hand pinched the thin rope about a foot behind the Flying Tiger Claw, slowly shook it three times, and then raised his right arm upward, and the Flying Tiger Claw had already swished and flew up to the city.

With a creak, the flying tiger's claws were already buckled on the city.

Feng Baosan and his soldiers did not continue to move, and waited for almost half an hour to make sure that there was no one on the city wall, so Feng Baosan grabbed the string and pulled it hard, and then waited for almost half an hour.

As soon as it was normal, Feng Baosan bit the ox ear sharp knife in his mouth, and then grabbed the string with both hands and began to climb up.

The whole process did not make a sound, as if a tanuki "swam" up.

Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion. Feng Baosan's unique skills are definitely the champion.

The battlements at the head of the city were overhead, and Feng Baosan's left hand had been placed on the top of the city wall, but he did not turn over, but remained motionless so steadily.

Now, Feng Baosan had given up the string, and the weight of his entire body was on his left arm, because he was already holding the ox ear sharp knife in his right hand.

Feng Baosan came to the top of the city wall and stopped, which of course made sense.

The closer you are to success, the most dangerous time is also the time.

You must not act rashly until you have been sure whether there is an enemy outpost behind the battlements.

If there's an enemy outpost lurking behind the battlements, it's now a matter of patience.

A person's movements can be silent, but even the slightest breath can fluctuate slightly.

Feng Baosan was holding his breath and motionless now, as if the whole person had become one with the city wall.

If there is an enemy lurking behind the battlements, Feng Baosan is betting on a result: the enemy does not hold his breath for a long time, as long as the enemy gasps.

Whoosh - Whoosh -

Since ancient times, there was no big mistake in being careful, and Feng Bao's experience of three thousand tempers finally saved his life.

Behind the battlements there was an enemy sentry, but it was asleep.

Feng Baosan heard an extremely subtle and steady breathing sound, and at first he thought he was a martial arts master.

When his left arm was exerted and his body suddenly flew over the battlement, he found that there was a guy squatting on the ground with a long knife behind the battlement.

Feng Baosan rose into the air, and the clothes on his body naturally produced the sound of air currents, and the dark whistle opened his eyes very consciously.

It's a pity that he only has the opportunity to open his eyes, and he has no time to play other roles.

Because when the dark whistle saw a black shadow flying in the sky, Feng Baosan had already flung his right hand, and the bull's ear sharp knife shot at the guy's throat in the air.

As soon as Feng Baosan moved, the thirty-six pro-soldiers had no scruples, and they all threw out their flying tiger claws and climbed up. This is all a tacit understanding that has been coordinated over the past many years, and there is no need for orders at all.

The moment the first personal soldier ascended to the top of the city, Feng Baosan didn't need to stay in place to guard the Flying Tiger Claw, so his figure flashed and he directly pounced on the city tower in the east.

Yue Ying was blown to pieces at Huju Pass, and the news did not come at all, so there were only three soldiers on the city tower on their official business. And all of them were holding long knives, sitting on the ground with their backs to the battlements to "close their eyes and defend".

After Feng Baosan slit the throats of the other two sentinels, no ghost was found on the castle tower.

Although he was puzzled by the fact that he was so lightly defeated, he did not need to fight hard to capture a city, which was the best ending.

Feng Baosan waved his hand, and thirty-six personal soldiers hurriedly went downstairs to open the city gate, and the tiger and wolf division composed of more than 900 cavalry immediately rode into the city, in fact, Pinglu City, which had fallen into the hands of the rebels for nearly ten years, changed its owner.

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, and the day is set on fire to kill people.

As for how many people in Pinglu City lost their heads in their sleep tonight, and how many people were left in the city in the end, Feng Baosan didn't care at all.

Because he left 700 men to sweep the city, he personally rushed to the Nanmao River with more than 200 horsemen.

According to Huo Lianshan's order, for the two follow-up troops who were about to rush over, finding a suitable place to cross the river was the most critical combat goal.

After coming to the riverside, Feng Baosan found that the so-called Nanmao River was not what he imagined at all.

Although there is a word "river", the width of the Nanmao River is only 30 or 40 zhang wide. Moreover, the river is gentle, and you can cross the river at any time using the five-capsule ark.

Of course, there is no need to waste hands and feet assembling the five-bag ark now, because there are many bamboo rafts on the riverside, tied to the shore with bamboo ropes.

"Immediately go into the water and set up a guide rope, connect all the bamboo rows in series and reinforce them with bamboo, and then lay out the door panels, and prepare for the follow-up army to cross the river!"
