Chapter 330: Xicang Village

"Quasi-top master, can we deal with it?"

After arranging everything, Chang Wei found Tang Jinyi and asked a question that made the latter silent for a long time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a long time, Tang Jinyi shook his head and said, "I may be able to make three or five moves in Liu Yongming's hands, and you may be unlucky in one or two moves." ”

Chang Wei asked suspiciously, "So powerful?" ”

Tang Jinyi said helplessly: "This is a military camp, if you can't take him in three or five moves, you will be surrounded by tens of thousands of troops immediately, and the Dafa of Absorbing Stars will not be useful at all." ”

Chang Wei persistently asked: "What about poisoning?

Tang Jinyi said angrily: "A few days ago, there was such a big poisoning incident in the Weishan camp, how could the Taiping camp not be prepared for this? Besides, Liu Yongming is extremely cautious, the last time we entered the stone fort, he was searched back and forth many times by his men, and now there should be no chance to bring poison and hidden weapons into the barracks." ”

Chang Wei said disappointedly, "Isn't there a chance to kill him?"

Tang Jinyi comforted him and said, "Aren't you going to launch a night attack tonight? Maybe you can kill Liu Yongming in the chaos of the army." ”

Chang Wei shook his head and didn't speak, in most wars, unless the commander fights to the death, he will not die in the army, not to mention that Liu Yongming is still a quasi-top master.

In fact, if they really want to kill Liu Yongming, they only need to let the Beidou Jiuzi lay down the Beidou formation to deal with the top masters, but they want to clean up Hang Yuanliang and the forces in Taiping Town, and they have no time to withdraw.

In the end, Chang Wei finally gave up, "Destroying the Taiping Camp is the main thing, and whether Liu Yongming dies or not has nothing to do with the overall situation." ”

At the moment, according to everything agreed, let Wuding and Cheng Laohu make the corresponding arrangements, and when it was dark, Chang Wei and Tang Jinyi stepped into the Xicangzhai, the important place of the Taiping camp.

Xicangzhai is more than ten miles away from Taiping Mountain, here is the valley surrounded by Taiping Mountain and Xicang Mountain, the Ming army saw that the terrain was dangerous, so they chiseled and built a fortress here. Later, the White Lotus Sect called, and took Xicangzhai as the forefront of Taiping Town.

This fortress is backed by the mountain and faces the river, the entrance looks like only more than ten steps, there are enemy towers, arrow towers built according to the mountain situation, and the fort gate is rammed into earth. There is a gatehouse on the fort like a city gate, and there are earthen walls on both sides that are two zhang high and one wide, which are wide and flat and can be galloped on horseback, and there are elite soldiers standing guard on all sentry posts.

The suspension bridge under the walled wall is connected with a winch chain, and the suspension bridge is erected on the Xue River that is open to two zhang on weekdays, and the suspension bridge is twisted up when there is a danger, and the Xue River becomes a natural moat.

After three strict checks, Chang Wei and the others followed the guards into the fortress. Inside, there is an open river valley plain, according to Chang Wei's eyesight, this river valley plain is afraid that there are thousands of acres of size and the area of Weishan County, there are three small rivers flowing into the valley on the plain from other directions, in the middle and edge of the plain are all military camps, the rest of the land is fertile and the river water is abundant, enough for tens of thousands of soldiers to be self-sufficient.

The guard took the two of them to gallop to the front of the village built by the mountain, where there was another wall, Chang Wei said secretly: "What a fortress, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, this kind of place is the best place to be a military camp." ”

There was an army of 3,000 men in the barracks in front of the village. Fifteen hundred men wore iron armor, spears in their hands, from six feet to two zhang in order from front to back, 500 men held long swords and large shields as close protection, and another 1,000 archers protected the flanks.

"Is this the main force of the Taiping Battalion? It looks like the same thing, but unfortunately now that we have entered the age of firearms, this kind of cold weapon phalanx is outdated. ”

Chang Wei believed that the elite army in front of him would be defeated before they could get close to the musket battalion.

When the guards led the two into the large mansion in the middle of the village, it was already full of people. The arrival of the two attracted the attention of the officers present, because these people were all senior generals of the Taiping Battalion, and when they suddenly saw the outsiders of the two Weishan Battalions, they naturally talked about it.

"Are these two the new commanders of the Weishan Battalion? It looks like the thin skin and tender meat are not as good as Hong Yongchang. ”

"Hong Yongchang has a fart ability, and he only rose up by bragging, but he even lost his life. ”

"Since these two are not as good as Hong Yongchang, I think the Weishan camp will be finished sooner or later. ”

"I can't say that, in the past few days, people have dragged the officials and troops on the side of Xuecheng and relieved the siege of Taiping Pass. Isn't it much worse than Hong Yongchang's wretch?"

"That's a! Aren't you back in a standoff situation now?"

The discussion of everyone became louder and louder, but Chang Wei and the others did not even frown, and sat quietly in their places drinking light wine.

Seeing that the two ignored them, a loud man raised the wine glass in his hand and greeted loudly: "Don't be so unsociable, two brothers, come and make love to our brothers." ”

When it comes to this, you can't ignore them, Chang Wei raised his wine glass and gestured, "Our brother is new to the camp and is not familiar with the rules of the Taiping camp, so please just ignore us." ”

The generals of the Taiping Battalion didn't listen to him, and still asked, "I heard that you fought with Chang Wei's musket battalion, how powerful are they?"

"It's very powerful, and I'm not afraid of death than other officers and soldiers. The guns were sharper, and their muskets did not need to be ignited, and they dared to walk within thirty or fifty paces under the rain of arrows before firing. Since they asked, Chang Wei would not miss the opportunity to publicize his own combat strength and attack the enemy's morale.

The officers of the Taiping Battalion laughed loudly: "I think you are afraid of death to make up this kind of lie, right?"

"Hahaha!"

Chang Wei replied casually: "Afraid of death? That is called knowing how to advance and retreat! The art of war is cloudy: soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent, and those who use soldiers are more important than improvisation. Advancing under the dense rain of artillery fire is to send to death, and the courage of the horseman is not enough!"

"Haha, the descendant of Wu Dalang in Weishan Camp is a coward, and when he was fighting, he knew that he would shrink behind the team and never dare to charge. Now there are two identical generals, what a mold is carved out!"

"Haha, it's not like a family doesn't enter a door. ”

Talking to these people about the art of war is really playing the piano to a cow! Chang Wei and Tang Jinyi glanced at each other, and a wry smile appeared on their faces.

After laughing for a while, the other party saw that they did not talk, and said: "Since you know the art of war, why do you still ask us for help?

Chang Wei frowned and said: "The generals of the officers and soldiers all know the art of war, but they are still beaten by the White Lotus Holy Sect, why? Because, to understand the art of war, you must also have enough strength as a foundation to win the battle! The military discipline of the officers and guards is corrupt, and the lack of personnel is serious, and no matter how much their commanders know the art of war, it is not a big deal to win the battle!"

The loud voice immediately asked, "Do you mean that Weishan Camp is too bad to be worthy of you?"

"Huh, this guy can buckle his hat!" Chang Wei shook his head and denied, "I didn't mean that,"

"I think that's what you mean!" Chang Wei's words were interrupted by an indifferent voice, and the owner of this voice was none other than Liu Yongming, the right governor! )
