The officers of the Li Jiajun not only can understand the map, but also draw accurate maps according to the terrain.

If it is just a flat map, it is not intuitive enough. Then, through the map, the military sand table made will reveal the terrain of the entire Linzi County.

After Li Zhongyi trained the Hechi Township Army before, because he had no idea about the combat effectiveness of the Township Army, he mainly led the Township Army, went around in circles in the mountains, and ambushed the Zhou Army's baggage team when he found an opportunity.

Fighting if you can beat it, and slipping away if you can't beat it has always been a military principle that Li Zhongyi absolutely followed under the special conditions at that time.

As a result, taking advantage of the terrain advantage of the dangerous peaks of Shudi Mountain, Li Zhongyi Leng used erratic guerrilla tactics to drag down the Zhou army, which had strong combat effectiveness, first thin and then collapsed.

It is precisely because of this that Chai Rong, the lord of Zhou, understands a truth, if you want to destroy the Shu Kingdom, you must first get rid of Li Zhongyi, a big hidden danger.

After being classified as Zhou Chen, although Li Zhongyi did not participate in the suppression of bandits, he knew better than anyone that the most important means of encircling and suppressing the bandits was to lead the bandits down the mountain and gather and annihilate them in the plains.

Therefore, when the Senate Department was thinking up the battle plan, Li Zhongyi emphasized an important link: it was necessary to first send cavalry with strong mobility to block the back road of Ming Godmother B and others to retreat into the mountains.

According to the battle plan finally approved by Li Zhongyi, Li Yong, that is, quite Chaoyong, personally led 3,000 elite cavalry and quietly outflanked him along the foot of Jinshan Mountain towards Nanpo Village.

It's just that Li Yong didn't expect that Mu Yi was too cunning, and actually raised more than a dozen vicious dogs at the foot of Jinshan.

Li Yong was a veteran of robbery, and as soon as he heard the barking of dogs, he knew that his whereabouts had been exposed.

"Deliver my order, Battalion A dismounts, along the entrance to the mountain, set up horses, dig trenches, build breastwalls, and set up strict defenses. Battalion B is spread out in a fan shape in the capital, and Battalion C protects the flank of Battalion A, even if all the people in Battalion B are dead, they are not allowed to leave the foot of the mountain for half a step. Li Yong's series of instructions made Qian Shude nod frequently.

In Qian Shude's view, Li Yong is really worthy of the "good name" of the master of copying the house, and if he arranged it like this, the way for the Ming sect to escape into the mountains was completely blocked.

According to the operational order issued by Li Zhongyi, the focus of this encirclement and suppression operation was not to fight, but to block the way for the thieves to flee into the mountains.

If Li Yong wanted to be greedy for merit, Qian Shude was forced to have no choice but to take out Li Zhongyi's warrant and take over the command of the entire cavalry battalion.

Different from ordinary operations, Li Zhongyi secretly issued secret orders to the various ministries and military justice divisions before this battle. The content of the secret order is very clear, as long as the commander-in-chief of each ministry violates the military order to first encircle and then slowly close the net, the commander-in-chief of each ministry has the right to deprive the commander-in-chief of the military command.

To put it bluntly, the subordinates of the Ming Sect are all mud-legged and soil farmers who have not undergone formal training. To deal with a gang of rabble, is it necessary to send several times the military strength to participate in the encirclement and suppression?

Therefore, the core of this campaign is: political priority, the military deployment of Mount Tai's overwhelming momentum only plays an auxiliary role.

Li Yong preemptively occupied the necessary place to enter the mountain, Qian Shude couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as the Mingjiao thieves could not escape into the mountain, the encirclement and suppression of the mobilization of heavy troops would be more than eighty percent successful.

Next, the auxiliaries and the regular soldiers worked together, using the sapper shovels they carried with them, digging deep trenches, building chest walls, and setting up a repulsion formation.

Qian Shude suddenly remembered something, so he said to Li Yong: "Lao Li, isn't there a lot of thistles in our cavalry camp?" I wondered, those Mingjiao people can't all wear our standard thick-soled cowhide military boots, right? ”

Li Yong thought for a moment, slapped his thigh, and said happily: "Old Qian, yours is worthy of my Zhiduoxing, this plan is very wonderful!" ”

Qian Shude's proposal was ostensibly to consider the needs of the battle, but in fact, Li Yong could see that Lao Qian wanted to minimize the casualties of the cavalry battalion.

The Lord mobilized more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress thousands of Mingjiao, which can be said to have made a bloody investment, and it was a slaughtering knife used to kill chickens.

If the cavalry battalion had more than ten casualties, then Li Yong would simply not be able to see anyone, and he would not be able to raise his head in front of his colleagues at all.

How can I say that the 3,000 cavalry led by Li Yong occupied the mountain pass of Jinshan in advance, and this is of great significance to the encirclement and suppression of the cult. Just like in the Battle of Austerlitz, Kutuzov was always nailed to the Platschin Heights, which made the French Emperor Napoleon restless, and he had to find a way to lure Kutuzov down the heights.

More than 20,000 people, if they are all infantry troops, then it seems that there are a lot of people, but in fact, if you want to completely surround the Jinshan Basin where Mu Yi is located, there will still be many loopholes.

Li Zhongyi brought out all the soldiers of the cavalry battalion, the purpose was to use the rapid mobility of the cavalry to quickly block the gap where Mu Yi might escape.

At this time, Mu Yi had already smelled a huge smell of danger, he stood in front of the door with a long knife in his hand, and shouted: "Quick, go and ring the bell, go and ring the bell, let our people come to me......"

No matter what outsiders think of Mu Yi, at least, he enjoys supreme authority in this Nanpo village.

Soon, the entire Nanpo Village sounded a frightening alarm bell.

At the same time, Xie Jia didn't know where to touch a gong, and while beating it fiercely, he shouted loudly: "Come back with knives and guns, remember, bring knives and guns......"

At this time, Qian Shude, who was standing on the hillside, had already heard the huge movement in Nanpo Village. In the dead of night, the sound of the bronze bell and the gong can be heard for at least ten miles.

Especially at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, the sound of gongs and bells echoes in the valley and cannot be dispersed for a long time.

Seeing and hearing this, Qian Shude was secretly happy. Fortunately, he and Li Yong seized the passage into the mountain in advance, otherwise, the cult followers in Nanpo Village would never have gathered people so urgently.

Qian Shude has reason to believe that if the movement came from the opposite side of Nanpo Village, Mu Yi would probably sneak into the mountains quietly with only a few henchmen, and then disappear without a trace.

Li Zhongyi received a military report jointly sent by Qian Shude and Li Yong in the middle of the road, and he carefully read the military newspaper several times by bright candlelight, and finally came to the conclusion that Qian Shude and Li Yong had lived up to his expectations and had completely sealed the only mountain passage that Mu Yi could escape.

According to the battle plan approved by Li Zhongyi, in order to prevent Mu Yi from escaping at night, all units dug ditches and walls on the spot to resist horses after the siege was completely encircled at night.

Zeng Wenzhenggong once said that to deal with the extremely mobile long hair, it is necessary to fight a dumb battle and form a hard village.

Li Zhongyi is now adopting a cage tactic of taking every step of the way in order to wipe out the Ming Sect, and the thieves are only 3,000 at best, which is still counting the ordinary people who are innocently coerced.

The battlefield of encirclement and suppression, with a radius of dozens of miles, is not a regular positional warfare, and Li Zhongyi does not want to run to the front to cause chaos for his old subordinates.

So, surrounded by a thousand guards, Li Zhongyi's big tent of the Chinese army was set up on a small hillside.

Starting from Qizhou and rushing to Nanpo Village in Linzi County, Li Zhongyi saw the hourglass, but it actually took only four hours in total.

He sweated more in peacetime and shed less blood in wartime, and it seemed that he trained hard and achieved great results.

The reason why the march was so fast was also related to the fact that the guards were equipped with at least two horses per person, and it only took more than four hours to run for a hundred miles, which was just a piece of cake for Thomas's cavalry.

It was still dark, and Li Zhongyi couldn't see anything clearly even if he was holding a telescope in his hand.

After Li Zhongyi sat down on the bookcase in the big tent, he combed through the military report sent from the front again. In the end, Li Zhongyi came to the conclusion that as long as his old subordinates did not violate the deployment of military orders, the so-called sect master B of the Ming Sect would not escape doom even if he put on wings.

"Xiao Lan'er, come over and rub your shoulders and legs for your master." Li Zhongyi hooked his fingers at Han Xianglan and called her to his side.

Han Xianglan actually understood in her heart that the so-called kneading her shoulders and pinching her legs was just a prelude to completely bullying her.

However, Li Zhongyi brought Han Xianglan out alone, obviously wanting her to take on more rain and dew and get pregnant early. In this regard, Han Xianglan's heart was indeed very moved.

Ye Xiaolan has already given birth to a son, and she is pregnant again, if another son comes out, Ye's little tail will definitely reach the sky.

Thinking of the emptiness in her stomach and the emptiness under her knees, Han Xianglan couldn't help but feel sad.

Han Xianglan rubbed her shoulders and complained to herself: "Master, the slave family has been happy more times than anyone else, but I can't always conceive your species, alas, I'm really sad to die." ”

No matter how strong Li Zhongyi is, he is also a normal man, and a woman is willing to give birth to a baby for you, so he is naturally comfortable in his heart.

"I've calculated, your ovulation period should be in these days." Li Zhongyi took out a piece of paper full of squares from his cuff and shook it towards Han Xianglan.

Han Xianglan looked curiously, but Li Zhongyi took the piece of paper back into his sleeve and said with a smile: "Xiao Lan'er, don't be discouraged, with your master's help, it will definitely make your stomach bigger." ”

"Master, what is the ovulation period?" Han Xianglan took advantage of Li Zhongyi's good mood and asked him boldly.

In fact, last time Li Zhongyi said a little common sense about the ovulation period, Han Xianglan listened to it word for word because it was related to her own happiness.

According to Han Xianglan's own understanding, if she wants to conceive Li Zhongyi's child, she must pester the man during the ovulation period that the man said, let the man bully her fiercely, and then receive the rain and dew completely.

When the sky was bright, the earth-shattering shouts in the distance woke Li Zhongyi from his deep sleep.

Han Xianglan also woke up, she thought that the man would go out of the account immediately to see how the battle was going.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhongyi changed his clothes and washed in a hurry, and after eating breakfast, he changed into armor, rode on the back of the bloody killing, and galloped in the direction of the loudest killing sound under the support of the relatives.

When approaching the battlefield, Li Zhongyi climbed a small hill, picked up a monocular, and carefully scanned the entire situation.

Well, Liao Shanhe was indeed very obedient, and he did not rush forward at all, and steadily drove the Ming disciples on the periphery into the predetermined valley.

It is clearly shown on the sand table, near the village of Nanpo, which belongs to the mountain shape of the basin. Around the basin, there are many trails that connect with the outside on weekdays.

However, the top of the basin has been completely occupied by the soldiers of the Li family's army!

Li Zhongyi remembers very well that when he made this kind of deployment at that time, Liao Shanhe and He Dabei could not understand it.

At that time, Li Zhongyi's explanation was clear and understood. If troops are sent into various villages to arrest people halfway, even if Mu Yi does not escape, it may allow important people of Mingjiao to escape by taking advantage of the situation.

And what Li Zhongyi wants is to wipe out the entire Mingjiao believers, and leave no one behind!

What the generals couldn't understand was that Li Zhongyi, who had always loved the people, actually gave an unprecedented order: outside all the villages along the way, pile up firewood, grass and horse manure, set on fire, and the smoke is as loud as possible.

Now, the plan formulated by Li Zhongyi is being fulfilled step by step. According to the scouts' estimates, more than 2,000 people have been surrounded into the basin.

"Come on, go and tell Liao Shanhe, it's time to start the next step." Li Zhongyi put down the monoculars in his hand and ordered the herald to inform Liao Shanhe.

After Liao Shanhe received the military order, he immediately issued an order, "Pass my general order, the third left battalion of the Guards Army, bring the sapper shovel, and go to fill all the wells." The third battalion on the right will pick up horse manure in advance and bring it with it, set fire to all the villages, pay attention to the continuous addition of firewood and grass, and add fierce fire oil. ”

Qian Shude, who was on the side of Jinshan, saw the thick smoke billowing in the distance, and among the smoke that drifted from time to time, there was a strange smell that made people cough and feel stuffy in his chest.

"Hehe, the Lord is really ruthless this time, it seems that he wants to move all the parishioners here, so as not to leave fertile soil for flooding again." Li Yong didn't catch the fight, so he couldn't help complaining.

Qian Shude smiled and said, "The Lord attaches great importance to cults. When I received the command this time, I heard with my own ears that the Lord had said that if you don't cut down the grass and not remove the roots, you will become a problem to your heart. ”

"Hehe, although my qualifications are not as deep as yours, since Lingzhou, I have followed the Lord to fight the country. To tell you the truth, this is the first time I've seen the Lord so ruthless. Li Yong had a stick of grass in his mouth and stomped his feet as he spoke.

Qian Shude understood that Li Yong didn't want to do this kind of dull work without oil and water, but the problem was that the requirements clearly made in the military order did not dare to disobey the military order with Li Yong's courage.

No matter how Li Yong complained, Qian Shude only regarded it as something he hadn't seen, and he didn't bother to use this as a handle. Qian Shude is a pacification envoy, not an eagle dog like Li Yanqing who specializes in inquiring about people's privacy, training good soldiers, bringing out an army with combat effectiveness, and ensuring absolute loyalty to the Lord, this is Qian Shude's duty.

In fact, Li Yong is not a fool, if Qian Shude's character is not good, it is impossible to complain in front of Qian Shude if he is killed.
