Chapter 185: The Story of the Suppression of Bandits in Meridian Mountain (Part II)
A group of people ran quickly in the mountains and forests.
"Wang Zhixian, you are so fast." Yao Ji said in admiration.
"When I was a child, I often hunted with my second uncle, walked mountain roads, and was familiar with the mountains and forests." Wang Ju said lightly.
"Yao Inspection, don't underestimate our eldest man, the knife thief ...... back then"
"Second eldest son, don't say it." Wang Ju stopped.
The inferior has the mentality of the inferior, and the superior has the mentality of the superior. Liwei is just a means, and the combination of grace and power is the king's way, grace is the main, power is supplemented, benevolence is the main, and law is supplemented. Therefore, Wang Ju did not turn over the old accounts of the officers and soldiers in the barracks, but repeatedly stated that he must not disturb the people, infringe on the property of the people, and establish the image of Wang Jun. As for the generals of the battalions, Wang Ju did not check the empty salaries of the military camps, although he saw at a glance that almost all the officers and soldiers of the eighth battalion were paid empty salaries. However, he did not care about this, but repeatedly stated that the salary and subsidy of the ordinary soldiers below should not be deducted, otherwise he would not be slackened. Therefore, he did not mention the grievances between the black bee thieves and the officers and soldiers of the surrounding forest village.
To put it in a clichΓ©, it's the ass that decides the head.
Besides, he killed the head of the capital, even if he grows up now, in terms of skill, he will not be Yao Ji's opponent on the battlefield.
Northwest Eryao, that is a famous general in the annals of history.
I can't show off my own achievements.
The group came to the bottom of the cliff.
On the cliffs, some pine trees grow sparsely in the rocks, which have an extremely strange shape due to the lack of water and soil, and some vines hang down, but the vines are so slender that they cannot support the weight of a person. We also saw some wild wolfberries, and in the moonlight, the wolfberries were dotted, like pieces of broken gems inlaid on the cliff wall.
The cliff is not high, only about thirty zhang, but Yao Ji gasped and said, "Ba Sheng, this is the place you said you can climb?" β
It's too steep.
When I looked up, I felt dizzy.
"Inspection, you see, if you bring some hooks, you can not only use some raised rocks, but also use some ancient pines to climb up."
Yao Ji had no choice but to look at his subordinates.
"General Yao, my subordinates used to collect medicine for a living, and I can climb up with this." Qin Hai said.
Wang Ju smiled silently on the side.
The main thing is that there is a lack of relevant equipment and training, and in the eyes of later climbers, this section of the cliff is not surprising.
Of course, it is Yao's weakness.
Yao continued: "It's not climbing in the daytime, it's at night. β
"I can do it at night, too."
Not only Qin Hai, but also four or five scouts also said that they could climb up.
Wang Ju clapped his hands and said, "Yao Inspection, don't worry, I have prepared some things." β
Saying that, he asked the second eldest son to take out some things from his backpack, that is, a seat belt. That way, even if you miss, you won't fall off the cliff.
"Qin Hai, come over and give it a try first."
The five men fastened their harnesses and ropes with grappling hooks and climbed up.
There were several dangers in the middle, but they didn't miss once, and they all climbed to the top of the cliff, but it took a long time.
"These bunnies," Yao scolded with a smile, but he was very proud in his heart, this is the subordinate he has trained.
Several people climbed down again.
Wang Ju patted them on the shoulder and said, "You guys are doing a good job, I'll tell you a story." In the first year of Jingde, hundreds of thousands of Liao troops went south to invade our Great Song Dynasty, and tens of thousands of soldiers marched to Baozhou. The Liao army angrily pursued into the dense forest, but the woods were too dense, so they had to dismount and pursue. Without the advantage of horses, they went into the dense forest again, as a result of which more people were shot. In just a moment, hundreds of people were shot dead, but not even a single figure could be seen, and the Liao army had to escape from the dense forest. Guess how many ambushes did our court send? β
The group is guessing, some say thousands, some say hundreds.
"Wrong, there are only ten people, Yang Yanzhao's scout Sun Mi took ten scouts to complete the feat."
"Ten people?" Yao Yi was also dumbfounded.
"Qin Hai, you are all scouts selected by Yao Patrol, I have discussed with Yao Inspector before, the repeated invasions of Western Xia are mainly due to the weakness of our officers and soldiers, I and Yao Patrol have limited rights, we have no right to interfere in other areas of Gyeongju, but we plan to train several battalions of officers and soldiers in Huachi County to become an iron army. Not only practice, but this official and Yao will give you a bigger surprise after the inspection. But you scouts will be the trump card of this iron army! β
The group's expressions immediately became excited.
"Let's go back."
If you can climb up, the plan can be executed.
The hot day passed again, and night fell.
Wang Ju sat in the tent and quietly watched the hourglass.
In the era of hard pressing, even a time cannot be accurately grasped. Although the hourglass is simpler than the water leak and can be brought out, the time can often be incorrected by half an hour a day, and the worst thing is that I don't know whether this error is early or late. The worse autumn has not yet arrived, the days are longer, dark late, and brighten early. The night time drops, which brings inconvenience to the movement.
When the second watch came, Wang Ju said: "Call Qin Hai and them." β
Forty people were deliberately selected from more than a hundred scouts, although Qin Hai and the others took the lead, went up first, tied ropes, and tied knots on the ropes so that the soldiers behind could climb, but the cliff was too steep, and they had to choose people with more flexible skills.
They went out first and climbed to the top of the cliff, and this time could not be late, otherwise the later time could not be snatched, and they could not be early, so as not to show up the group of bandits.
"It's time for you to show your swords."
"Whoa." Forty people replied in unison.
"Go ahead, remember, be careful."
"Whoa."
Forty scouts quietly left the barracks.
"Actually, that's a pretty good idea," Yao said.
"Where does the inspection come from?"
"Although there are many reasons for the defeat of Dingchuan, many soldiers have never been on the battlefield, and everyone is not familiar with them, let alone after the battle cooperation, so they were defeated."
That battle was the pain of the Song Dynasty, and countless Song soldiers were sacrificed. That battle was also the pain of Eryao, and their father Yao Yaobao also died in that battle. But that battle was not only the soldiers, but also the responsibility of coach Ge Huaimin.
Wang Ju smiled slightly.
Although the soldiers are not strong, it is not the main reason for the failure of Dingchuan, but it is also very critical, such as Cai Ting created a miracle in the battle of Dashun City, Li Liangzuo 100,000 soldiers and horses, and did not capture a fort. But it was also for this reason that there was no pursuit of victory. Otherwise, Li Liangzuo would have lost very badly in that battle.
However, Wang Ju suddenly thought of something.
A few decades later, the Jin people went south, folding the generals, the Yao generals, the planting generals, and the famous generals, but they were defeated again and again.
Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, and other famous generals are certainly outstanding in martial arts, but at that time, the Jin soldiers had declined, and there were many puppet troops in the Central Plains, so these two situations should also be noted.
"If you think about it this way, how strong will the Jurchen army be in the future? How strong will the Mongol army be? β
"There is still a long way to go."
Half past two is here.
This is also the time deliberately chosen by Wang Ju and Yao Ji. It's early, for fear of alarming the people and the bandits in the mountains. It's too late.
Dozens of miles of mountain road, if you walk from the garrison during the day, you have to walk for an hour and a half to get to the black bee village, but when you march at night, you don't even dare to hit a torch, you can only use a little moonlight, then it will take at least two hours. It was not yet dawn, but it was very soon, and it was too late.
Quickly summoned the three armies.
In the past, when I trained, I also practiced night marching.
None of them cared.
Looking at the black and oppressive army, Yao Ji said the goal: "Our line of work is going into the mountains to suppress bandits." β
"Bandits at this time?" There will be some controversy below.
"Half of what the bandits get will be handed over, and half will be given to you." Yao said.
With just one sentence, the controversy subsided.
But this is just the beginning, and it will continue to be in the future.
The bandits in the mountains are not only Yang Si's gang, but also several groups, some do more evil, some do less, and some are mountain people, who are bandits when they gather, and after they disperse, they are ordinary people, which is difficult to distinguish. In the future, scout troops will also be sent into the mountains to investigate, and the suppression of bandits is secondary, and actual combat training is the ultimate goal.
Yao Ji said: "The target of our bandits in this line is Yang Si, the evil bandit in the mountains, but they may have dealings with some private businessmen, in order to avoid the expansion of the matter, except for leaving a few live tortures, the rest will be killed." β
It can be said that it is a reason, Wang Ju said it, and Yao Ji also believed it.
Wang Ju is also helpless, otherwise how can he rescue Hu Qian?
Yao Ji began to select soldiers and horses, leaving hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to guard the barracks, and the remaining 1,500 officers and soldiers were all brought out.
The horses remained in the barracks, dismounted, and marched lightly.
Fifty people from Qin Hai came to the bottom of the cliff again.
It was in the dead of night that the five of Qin Hai began to climb. Because you have to bring a rope and tie a rope, this climb is relatively slow.
I don't know how long it took, several people climbed to the peak, Qin Hai took out a flag from his arms, leaned out of his body, and waved the flag under the cliff. Dozens of people climbed up the rope 6 continuously.
The moon is setting in the west, the stars are dotted, and the waves are bursting.
Dozens of people stood on the top of the peak and looked into the distance, the distance was very quiet, and the yellow moonlight sprinkled among the mountains and mountains, making the mountains and ravines present a magnificent scenery.
"It's okay, nothing happened." Qin Hai said.
After finishing speaking, he led the group to climb to the top of the dozens of pine trees and lurked, and continued to look around.
To the east is a small mountain beam, beyond which is the outpost on the top of the peak, and there are some mountain bandits in it, how much is unknown, but those mountain bandits will be their main target. Qin Hai turned his gaze to the bottom of the mountain again, and the mountain depression was the cottage, but he couldn't underestimate this group of mountain bandits, they not only chose to build a cottage in this dangerous place, but also cut down the trees in front of the cottage together to make walls and houses. In this way, the front of the fortress will be bare, and even if the officers and soldiers come and have nowhere to hide, then they can condescendingly counterattack. They planted some vegetables and crops on the bank of the small river, which didn't matter, Qin Hai continued to look inside the cottage.
It was quiet in the cottage, but there were still three or five bandits patrolling the wall.
There should also be people patrolling the outpost in the east, but the east peak is slightly higher, and it is at night, so Qin Hai can't see clearly.
After looking at it for a while, Qin Hai withdrew his eyes and stared at the bottom of the cliff.
Soon, three faint lights flashed under the cliff, and it was the bright light of the tongue of fire. The light is weak, and it cannot be seen without this peak.
Qin Hai glanced in the distance, but still couldn't see the shadow of the Song army, the forest was too dense, but he got down the tree and could see dozens of figures shaking under the cliff, so he whispered: "The army is coming." β
The action begins!
Fifty men rushed to the outpost.
