That night, Cang Lingxuan returned to the barracks again, and she brought with her an edict from the White Lotus Sect's Zuo Prime Minister Xu Heyu to appoint Chang Wei as the general of Pingnan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For the first time in his life, he was given the name of a general, although it was just a fake name from the White Lotus Sect, Chang Wei still couldn't suppress a burst of excitement in his heart. However, soon this excitement was shocked by another news brought by Cang Lingxuan, to be precise, Chang Wei was extremely surprised in his heart.

Because this is the news that Yuan Keli, Zhao Yan, and Liao Dong jointly sent troops, Yuan Keli had 10,000 people who had been trained for more than a long time to dare to fight, and more than 20,000 remnants of the guard.

Zhao Yan has 10,000 militias in his hands, Liao Dong also has 20,000 people, and a total of 60,000 troops in one place, known as 100,000 troops. The greater advantage is that Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, sent Zhang Ke, the chief military officer, to lead 10,000 Dengzhou soldiers to assist Yuan Keli in quelling the rebellion.

The governor of Denglai was an official position separated from the governor of Shandong in the first year of the Apocalypse, with the purpose of preventing the Houjin from attacking the Shandong Peninsula from the south by sea, governing the two prefectures of Dengzhou and Laizhou, and controlling the general army of Dengzhou Town and the general army of Dongjiang Town. Yuan Keli accepted refugees during his tenure as governor of Denglai, trained Liao soldiers to become famous ministers of the imperial court, and the famous Guanning Iron Cavalry was a soldier trained by Yuan Keli.

Chang Wei said slowly: "Yuan Keli knows that the soldiers are good at fighting, the Dengzhou soldiers are brave, and the governor of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua, is a famous artillery expert, so there is trouble now." ”

Sun Yuanhua was a native of Gaoqiao, Jiading County, Songjiang Prefecture (now Pudong, Shanghai), and studied under Xu Guangqi because of his enthusiasm for firearms and mathematics, but failed to pass the Jinshi examination, so he gave up the imperial examination and devoted himself to Western studies.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, Sun Yuanhua presented two strategies to the imperial court, and Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, took a fancy to him, and enabled Sun Yuanhua to build a platform and make cannons to build the famous Ningyuan City, and then cooperated with Yuan Chonghuan to garrison Ningyuan.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Nurhachi led an army of 60,000 to attack Ningyuan, but was repelled by Sun Yuanhua's dense artillery array, and died of illness seven months later. Yuan Chonghuan wrote to the imperial court, saying that Nurhachi was wounded by Hongyi artillery and died, and called this battle "Ningyuan's great victory".

Wei Zhongxian ordered the factory guards to secretly investigate the details and learned that after Nurha Chiningyuan retreated, he personally led his troops to fight against the Mongolian tribes, and was not injured by artillery at all.

Thinking about it, too, with the medical level of this era, a musket bullet is a certain death, let alone being hit by a cannon? Yuan Chonghuan, the bull, really blew through the sky, so he made a disgraced face and retired on his own; Sun Yuanhua was also implicated and dismissed from office.

Later, Sun Chengzong tried to protect Sun Yuanhua to replace Yuan Keli as governor Denglai, and after Sun Yuanhua took office, he recruited talents in Dengzhou and formed a foreign artillery regiment with 27 Europeans. Effectively sniped the harassment of the Shandong Peninsula by the Later Jin, and was a famous Confucian general in the imperial court.

Cang Lingxuan said worriedly: "Yes, the 100,000 officers and soldiers have invaded my Holy Sect city, and this time there must be a hard battle. ”

"Offend your White Lotus Sect city?" Chang Wei almost scolded angrily when he heard this, "It's obvious that you are a group of rebels who are attacking the city and conquering the city, and you are bringing disaster to the world, but you pretend to be like you have been violated, it is extremely shameless!

Cang Lingxuan saw his brows fluttering, thinking that he would think of some countermeasures, so he asked, "Do you have any good ways to repel the officers and soldiers?"

There is a way, but Xu Hongru will never do it, Chang Wei sneered in his heart, but said in his mouth: "For today's plan, only by giving up Zou and Teng Counties can the guerrilla Quartet be saved." ”

"This is impossible!" Cang Lingxuan's phoenix eyes widened, and she said, "Zou County and Teng County are important places of the Holy Sect that the sect leader has painstakingly managed, and they will never be handed over to the officials and soldiers!"

Chang Wei bowed his head and said, "Yes!" ”

But he said in his heart: "Not only does Xu Hongru, a fool, not accept this kind of suggestion, but even his diehards want to hit the stone with an egg, which is really self-defeating!"

From the perspective of the art of war, when the rebel army was weak in the early stage, the best way was to take advantage of the defenselessness of the imperial court to quickly capture some cities and seize the treasury money and grain, and then go far into the mountains to fight guerrillas, step by step to consume the sharp energy of the imperial court, and defeat the officials and troops who came to exterminate and strengthen themselves.

When there are changes in the world, they will attack important places, collect the hearts of local gentry, obtain money and food for soldiers, recruit talents, and slowly develop and grow.

Xu Hongru and the White Lotus Sect used the teachings to collect a lot of poor people at the beginning, and they seemed to be huge, but in fact, after conquering a few county seats, their ambitions soared, and they directly claimed that the emperor wanted to secede.

This directly nailed himself to Zou and Teng Er counties on the shore of Weishan Lake, because since he was called the emperor and built the capital, it was impossible for him to run around like a rogue bandit, otherwise the believers and soldiers would know at a glance that they had lost the battle, and immediately the people's hearts would be disintegrated and collapsed.

With such a big strategic flaw, Xu Hongru still didn't know how to win the hearts of the gentry, but instead took everything on a few small pieces of land into his own possession, and offended all the people outside the White Lotus Sect to death, in this case, it is simply wishful thinking to succeed!

Tang Jinyi saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and immediately said: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, we soldiers just have to fight, it's useless to worry about so much." ”

Wu Ding and Cheng Laohu also echoed on the side: "Yes, we have also fought the official army before, are you afraid that they will not succeed?"

"Yes, we just have to work hard. ”

In the midst of the impassioned speeches of the generals, the atmosphere finally became warm, and at this moment, a dense burst of artillery suddenly came from outside.

Chang Wei Teng walked out of the Chinese military tent at once, and looked at the sound with his hand on the hilt of the knife, only to see the Taiping Mountain Pass a few miles away with artillery fire in the sky, and the shouts moved the ground.

Chang Wei shouted: "Where are the scouts? But the officers and soldiers are coming?"

Cheng Shiyu and Ma Yuan ran out quickly, and came back after a while to report: the official army of Weishan County and the White Lotus Army stationed at the Taiping Pass had exchanged hands.

After Chang Wei and them came, Liu Yongming sent an army of 10,000 people to guard the Taiping Pass to prevent the official army from attacking across the mountain, but he didn't expect a battle to happen so soon.

Chang Wei looked solemn on the surface, but in fact, he was happy in his heart, "Cousin Chongwu and Chang Ping's movements are really fast, I only asked the Nine Sons of the Big Dipper to send the route in Taiping Mountain last night, and I will call tonight." ”

Chang Wei turned his head and asked, "Lord Dharma Protector, what should we do?"

Cang Lingxuan shook her head, but there was a gloating expression in her eyes, and said: "Liu Yongming has an army of 50,000, which is enough to block the official army in the Taiping Mountain, so it's not a big deal." ”

Chang Wei sighed secretly: "The 100,000 troops in the north are about to crusade against Zou County, and the 30,000 troops in the south are gathered in the Taiping Pass. At this time, he dares to engage in any kind of battle of will, I really don't know whether to live or die! However, a shrewd and powerful person like Liu Yongming will definitely not let us watch the excitement here. ”

Immediately, Chang Wei ordered the camp to step up the opening of meals, be careful and vigilant, and not let the wine be touched at all.

Before the soldiers had eaten, Hang Yuanliang led a team of cavalry and rushed into the camp quickly.

Chang Wei said secretly: "Sure enough, it's here!" (To be continued.) )
