Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sending Troops to the Nujiang Valley
After all, Mu Zhongxian is a famous general, and his martial arts are much higher. The mace in Mu Zhongxian's hand pressed downward, blocking the plate axe of the Qing soldier, and then another pick, and the plate axe in the hand of the Qing soldier was actually knocked out. Then a stick was smashed, only a scream was heard, and the soldier's brain burst.
On the right side rushed out a soldier holding a rattan card and wielding a heavy sword. The Qing soldier burst into a shout, rushing towards Mu Zhongxian like lightning, and used his shield to resist the unstoppable mace.
The mace slammed into the shield, shaking the soldier's left arm. But the heavy sword in the Qing soldier's right hand stabbed straight up.
Mu Zhongxian hit the Qing soldier's heavy sword with a backhand, and then slid upward, and the mace hit the Qing soldier's face, and immediately beat the Qing soldier to the point that his face was covered with blood, and he fell backwards on his back.
More than a dozen soldiers surrounded him, and all kinds of weapons desperately beckoned to Mu Zhongxian.
"Childe, let's go!" Several pro-soldiers stepped forward and struggled to block the attack of the soldiers, escorting Mu Zhongxian to escape and avoid being surrounded by more and more Qing soldiers.
However, more Qing soldiers surrounded them from all directions, and these soldiers who were good at mountain warfare could be said to be familiar with the road through the mountains and forests, and they were outflanked from both flanks in a while. Seeing that Mu Zhongxian was about to be surrounded by the Qing army, Guo Feng rushed with more than 500 native soldiers, killed more than 20 Qing soldiers who blocked the road in front, and rescued Mu Zhongxian.
"These tartars are amazing! They seem to be the native soldiers of Wu thieves! Mu Zhongxian, who was rescued, told Guo Feng out of breath.
Guo Feng said: "Hurry up and get out of here!" These Tartars are good at mountain warfare! We're not easy to deal with! ”
The Ming army retreated in front, and the Qing army was in hot pursuit. Not long after, some Qing soldiers stepped on the trap and killed and injured more than a dozen people.
However, these hunter-born soldiers quickly found a way to deal with it: they did not pursue from behind, but from behind on both sides. With their skill, the soldiers caught up, attacking from both flanks to the middle, and slashing many of the native soldiers.
Thankfully. Mu Zhongxian's native soldiers were familiar with the local terrain, and there were traps that made the Qing army fearful, so they got rid of the pursuit of the Qing army.
Mu Zhongxian and Guo Feng were defeated for a while, losing a lot of native soldiers. But their efforts were not in vain, Wu Sangui was worried about the ambush, so he asked the Lu soldiers to climb up the mountain and open a road along the ridge, so as not to attack him with rolling wood and gravel at the top of the mountain. Wait until the soldiers have searched and confirmed that it is safe, and then send a signal for the main force of the Qing army to pass through the avenue in the river valley. So. The Qing army's march was much slower.
By the time Mu Zhongxian went back, it was already dark. After dark, Wu Sangui was not marching, but chose a relatively flat river valley to set up camp.
Because the terrain was not open, Wu Sangui's camp had to be camped on the hillside. However, the treacherous and cunning Wu Sangui considered that the opponent was likely to climb the mountain and attack with rolling logs and stones, so the large camp of the Wu army stretched all the way to the top of the slope, and the soldiers of the Dian and Guizhou who were good at mountain warfare were stationed at the top of the slope, the green battalion soldiers below, and Wu Sangui's Pingxi Wangfu Army and the Eight Banners Army were stationed at the bottom.
After Mu Zhongxian and Guo Feng retreated. The two reported to Li Weizuo that there was a group of Qing soldiers who were particularly powerful.
Li Weizuo replied: "It seems that we still underestimate the Wu thief!" Those Tartars are the soldiers of the Tartars, and they are the elite soldiers carefully selected by the Wu thieves! Wu thief and King Jin have been fighting for many years, so naturally they pay great attention to mountain warfare! ”
"Are we looking for a critical point? Build an earthen city wallade overnight to block the Tartars? Guo Feng proposed.
"That's all there is to it!" Li Weizuo nodded.
The next afternoon, hundreds of miles away, Ba Mo.
In Li Dingguo's mansion, Wang Xinyu was drinking with Li Sixing.
"Brother-in-law, young talent! It's really impressive! You and I are the same age. But compared with your brother-in-law, I'm still a lot worse! Li Sixing picked up the wine bowl and said.
The lady led the little boy up. Wang Xinyu looked at this Zheng family and saw that she was about twenty-four or five years old. Wearing a light red shirt, her appearance is somewhat similar to that of her wife, but she is much weaker, unlike Zheng Yun, who was born in martial arts, but has a little more beautiful appearance. Looking at this little boy again, I saw that he was about five or six years old, and he looked very cute.
Zheng first gave Wang Xinyu a blessing, and then said to his son: "Ye'er, call uncle!" ”
"Uncle!" The little boy screamed milkily.
"It's so cute!" Wang Xinyu stroked the little boy's little head lovingly.
Zheng said a thousand blessings and asked, "Prince Wang, are the slave's parents okay?" Is my little sister okay over there? ”
Wang Xinyu replied: "Please rest assured, sister!" Her father-in-law and mother-in-law are fine, Yun'er is also very good, she went to Qiongzhou with her son-in-law, and she is quite used to it over there. ”
Li Sixing said: "Wang Gongzi, my brother-in-law has an uninvited request, I hope Wang Gongzi can agree to my brother-in-law." ”
"As long as I can do it, I will promise my brother-in-law."
"My wife and her son are suffering here! Especially Ye'er, who has been living such a hard life every day since he was born, and his brother-in-law really can't bear it. Moreover, the situation here is precarious, and if the father is defeated one day, they will also be affected. Alas! I hope that Wang Gongzi can bring his wife and Ye'er to your Qiongzhou, so that they can live a good life, and also keep the bloodline of our Li family. Li Sixing stood up and arched his hand.
Wang Xinyu hurriedly got up: "Please rest assured, brother-in-law!" King Jin will not be defeated! It is the Tartars who will lose! But since the brother-in-law wants to let his sister and nephew go to Qiongzhou, the younger brother will definitely try his best to take care of them and let them live a good life! Wait until you defeat the Tartars, and then send them back. ”
Li Sixing sighed: "Since my brother-in-law said so, then the son is also relieved!" When your ships can come in, take them away, so that we have no worries and can fight the Tartars here with peace of mind! ”
Outside Li Dingguo's camp, two native soldiers on fast horses galloped from the mountain road, shouting: "Emergency military situation!" There is something important to report! ”
The Ming soldiers at the gate of the camp stopped the native soldiers, checked the waist cards, verified their identities, and let the two native soldiers enter Bai Wenxuan's Chinese army tent.
After receiving the emergency military information, Bai Wenxuan immediately went to Li Dingguo's mansion to report in person.
"The Tartars are going to enter Burma from the Nu River Valley?" Li Dingguo was taken aback.
After receiving this news, all the generals were urgently summoned by Li Dingguo and made plans in the lobby of Li Dingguo. Bai Wenxuan, Wang Xinyu, Li Sixing, Gao Wengui, Ma Jiugong, Zhang Guoyou, Zhao Desheng and other generals were all summoned to discuss how to prevent Wu Sangui from entering Burma.
Bai Wenxuan said: "King Jin, we should immediately send troops, and all the main forces rush to the Nujiang River Valley to stop Wu Sangui!" ”
"No way!" After all, Li Dingguo is resourceful and has considered it more fully, "Wu Sangui is treacherous and cunning, he will definitely not have to be such a man!" Maybe he'll have another group of men back to attack us! If our main force is exhausted, once Ba Mo is attacked by Wu thieves here, we will lose the last foundation! From here, the Tartars can go down the river and then detour behind us to surround us, and then we will be in danger! ”
"Then, according to what King Jin sees, how should we deal with it to stop the Wu thief?" Bai Wenxuan asked.
"In this way, you lead 5,000 cavalry to drive out the Nujiang River valley first, join up with the local native soldiers, choose dangerous terrain to build an earthen city wall, and block the Wu thieves little by little," Li Dingguo said.
Bai Wenxuan arched his hand: "Then the king will go now!" I personally led 5,000 cavalry to light torches and hurried all night! That's in less than four days! ”
"Good! You go and get ready and travel light! When I got there, I quickly recruited the people to build an earthen city and a walled village to stop the Wu thieves! Li Dingguo nodded slightly.
"Lord Wang, the last general is willing to bring a hundred elites and ten sharpshooters to go with King Gongchang!" Wang Xinyu stood up and asked for his life.
Li Dingguo smiled and said: "With a virtuous nephew to help Wen Xuan, this king is much more relieved!" There you go! ”
After Wang Xinyu retreated, he made arrangements. He had a total of six rifled guns and ten rifled guns, and he went to the Nujiang Gorge to bring two rifled guns, named the snipers Liu Baorui and Chen Shuigen, plus two deputies, and then matched the two snipers with three fast gunners who used the rifle, named Liu Liang, Zhang Chiming, and Huang Tao.
A rifled gun is a long-range sniper rifle equipped with a modified monocular, but the rate of fire of rifled guns is so slow that some bullets have to be shot with a hammer, and the rate of fire is only one shot a minute, and a sniper is equipped with twenty bullets. The Bolt is a miniature version of the Fluff Machine, which can be fired with a bolt and the rate of fire can reach an astonishing fifteen to twenty rounds a minute, and each bolt is equipped with fifty loaded bolts, as well as fifty rounds of lead bullets and gunpowder, after the shot, the bolt can be reloaded, of course, that is very time-consuming.
Rifled guns have a long range, high accuracy, and great power, but the rate of fire is extremely slow; The speed of fire of the electric gun is extremely fast, but the range is short, the accuracy is poor, and because of the air leakage, the power of a single bullet is not as great as that of a bird's gun. These two weapons play a complementary role, with rifled guns at long range and electric switches in close combat.
On top of that, each Sniper is equipped with a Thunderbolt and a dagger that can be used in close combat. The Bolt is equipped with a knife and can fight hand-to-hand.
The other two sharpshooter teams also have two snipers and three light-switchers each. The two groups of sharpshooters were handed over to Li Dingguo's father and son, respectively, and asked them to deal with the Qing army that might attack the Bamo area, and the main task was to snipe the Qing generals.
"It's finally our turn!" Chen Shuigen and Liu Baorui, who had already held back their strength, were very happy.
"Your mission is to kill the Eight Banners of the Tartars as much as possible! As long as the main general of the Eight Banners of Tartar is killed, Wu Sangui will have no intention of fighting! Wang Xinyu explained to Liu Baorui and Chen Shuigen. He knew very well that as long as he killed the main general of the Eight Banners, Wu Sangui would most likely withdraw his troops, and he would have the opportunity to negotiate with Wu Sangui and sell what he wanted to sell to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui still has to keep it for the time being, and with him, the "special offerings" for the Eight Banners can be sold. (To be continued.) )
