Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince: Three Hundred and One: Witnessing Bodhi under the Sword

Li Sen personally supervised and led an army all the way to attack Anning Station and Feixing Crossing. All the way, there were green hills, strange rocks, gurgling water under his feet, and the scenery was very beautiful. However, the officers and soldiers were just like the enemy, and they couldn't even appreciate it.

At the very front is the rattan soldier, holding a large rattan card nearly one person in both hands, walking carefully forward. There is no road ahead, only a wild grass fell down, like a wild path that has been stepped on, and only one person can pass by. The army The formation of such a formation is bound to be vulnerable, and the army can't help but stop advancing when it is difficult to move forward.

Li Sen looked at the surrounding terrain and saw a stream meandering out of the mountain. Although the stream is lined with weeds and shrubs, the shape is wider, and it is more rare to travel in that shallow stream, which can be avoided. There are endless pits, bamboo nails, nooses, tripping bamboo spears, thorns and other obstacles in the half-human-height weeds. Those difficult to find and troublesome small organs have not only severely hindered the army’s journey, but have also killed a large number of people. Of soldiers.

Li Sen immediately ordered the army to move down and trace the source along the stream.

This stream is called Crab Creek. The water depth is no more than a knee, and the width can be rowed with a bamboo raft. Although twists and turns, from time to time there are slippery boulders that are washed by the current and block the road. The army travels faster than on the road. a lot of.

Since the barbarians can lay numerous traps in the grass, barley, under the ground, and under the rocks, there is no reason to let go of this stream leading to the valley. Li Sen didn't dare to care. The soldiers are still on full guard, in the air, in the airtight grass on both sides, and even the underwater stream, for fear that something will suddenly burst out of it.

The two peaks in front of each other stand side by side, shaped like double doors, and the mountain is strange and dangerous. The top of the mountain is full of jungles and lush greenery, and the cliffs are densely covered with hanging coffins. Li Sen immediately stopped the army. He was about to send some spies to explore the road ahead. He was already in the ambush. Suddenly, the branch shook the tree head in front of him. There was a strange whistle, and the unprepared officers and soldiers screamed and fell. With a bang, my brain bursts. The death was terrible.

The soldiers raised up the vine shields, but what was shot from the front was neither a bow or arrow nor a shuttle spear, but at least a large stone, and the vine card was smashed to pieces in no time. The soldiers could not see a single enemy. They shot a burst of arrows blindly. They couldn't bear the massive stone rain falling from the sky, so they evaded in the grass on both sides.

In the grass, pits, bamboo nails, lasso, thorns and thorns have been laid out in the grass. The officers and soldiers who blindly broke into their feet and couldn't see things were killed and injured again in a scream. The barbarians have endless trees and stones. They used tree trunks as bowstrings and stones as arrows to destroy and decay. No one was invincible. The Ming army threw down large corpses and began to retreat outside the mountain.

The battle was in chaos, and Li Sen couldn't stop it, especially when a stone with a big bowl flew past his shoulder. The strong wind blew his face and pain, and a soldier behind him was hit by a strong stone in his chest. , Her breastbone was shattered, she fell on the ground just twitching, blood spurting from her mouth and nose. Even Li Sen, a veteran on the battlefield, who is so fierce and fearless of death, can only gritted his teeth and ordered the back line to change to the front line and flee away from the mountain...

Furthermore, let’s talk about the commander Li Ze's army. The army lined up a long snake formation along a short ridge next to the canyon, and circled towards Goutou Mountain. The terrain here is dangerously narrow, and the army can only drag the growing team forward slowly. However, the right side of this short ridge is the canyon, and the left side is the green hillside that slopes all the way down. Although the vegetation is prosperous, it is condescending if there is a hidden inside. Even with the horses, he could still see the ground, but he was in an ambush.

The army went deeper and deeper, and there was no barbarian figure. Along the mountain road, the Ming army had been dragged into a group of miles long, like a long snake, winding forward. Suddenly, the sound of a heavy bronze drum in the dense forest on the left side of the vanguard suddenly sounded. The Ming army, who had fought against the barbarians many times, knew that there were barbarians lying in ambush in the forest. Fortunately, they were still far away from each other, and they were condescending here. Come on the ground.

The shields of the Ming Army erected their shields to the ground, and the crossbowmen and firecrackers behind were waiting in battle. Soldiers from behind also rushed in and prepared to form a second line of defense, but they were surprised to find that they had rushed out of the forest. It turned out that it was not a barbarian, but a cow, horse, mule. These animals were all wearing bits and their tails were lit, and they rushed up the hill like a crazy chariot.

There are only dozens of animals in this area, and the scene is astonishing. Crazy cows and horses rushed to the hillside, and the whole field of weeds was swept over it. The scene was spectacular. A sharp-eyed captain exclaimed: "This is a serial horse, let go! Let go!"

The tactics of serial horses were originally invented by ethnic minorities, and they have been used to great effect in history. The serial horse formations of dozens of cows and horses were originally useless, but it is difficult to do so in such a narrow and deep cliff behind. The role of the place can be very scary.

The panicked Ming army began to release guns and arrows, and the buttocks caught fire. The animals that were rushing up the mountain had committed a deadly child. They only knew to move forward without knowing left and right to escape. Once they were hit by the fire or arrows, they would lose Under the pain, he rushed more urgently. Behind him, the barbarian with a bamboo spear wore an animal skin skirt, howling and chasing him up.

With great effort, a series of cows and horses rushed to the top of the mountain, and the horses and cows ran wildly. The cows and horses couldn’t stop their steps. They fell into the deep valley before they even made a sigh of grief. The line brought down the abyss. There was the clever soldier rolling on the spot, avoiding under the rope, and just stood up in shock, and the brutal soldier brandishing a bamboo spear was killed.

In the center and the tail of the long snake formation, there is a section of dense forest under the **** that can be hidden, and it was also attacked at the same time. Although the barbarians did not understand the art of war, the tactics that were explored from the hunting were very effective. The enemy went deep, then cut the head and tail, cut a long snake into several sections, and couldn't look at each other.

The first strike of "Serial Horse" has stunned the Ming army's spirit. The Ming army couldn't figure out what tricks the enemy had and how much strength it possessed. Inevitably humbly and timidly, thousands of soldiers and horses were instantly defeated. When the army retreated from the mountain pass, the ten troops and horses had lost three stops.

Among the three forces advancing side by side, only the guerrilla general Cui Gui, who burned Bowang Mountain, suffered less losses. He led the army into the mouth with great fanfare. Not long after he walked in, the team changed from the back team to the front team and came out again, changing to another difficult Maofeng Dam.

This is a ravine. There is a small road between the two mountains, but the road is covered with thorns, which is difficult for officers and soldiers, but the barbarians must not be able to ambush in these thorns, which is relatively safer.

The officers and soldiers walked in the ravine for about half an hour, and the rear team was still outside the ditch. At this moment, I suddenly heard thunderous bronze drums on the rocks on both sides, and the shouts shook the sky. First, there was a burst of stone bullets fired from branches, which looked terrifying. But there are bushes of thorns between them. As long as the Ming army lie on the ground, the stones will either fly over their heads or be blocked by the bushes of thorns. Except for some officers and soldiers who were unprepared at first, the wounded are Liao Liao.

After that, more than a thousand men and women were holding swords and spears, drove the cattle and horses as the pioneers, and covered them from the way forward. When Jiao Gui saw that the situation was not good, if such a narrow terrain was rushed by cattle and horses, the whole army would be in chaos. Can only be slaughtered.

He immediately ordered the entire army to retreat, and at the same time concentrated the firecrackers and killed three cows and one horse, hindering the barbarian offensive. Only then did the army escape from the valley, although embarrassed, not much damage.

The strategy of dividing the road and advancing together failed again. The three defeated soldiers met on the way back, and the whole army was dejected and hurried back to the camp...

Li Sen had just returned to the camp, and the captain came to report. The imperial commissioner Yang Ling came to the camp and asked Li Sen to see him immediately after he returned. Li Ling's heart shuddered. Hastily straightened the embarrassed military appearance, hurried to the handsome account.

Since the rebellion, Li Sen has been picking up camps, and he has never fought such a useless battle. Even in the extremely dangerous Tongluo Ridge, he followed Yang Ling's Qingqi to go deep and return to the horse. It was easy to take it down, but in this all village, all the elite soldiers were gathered. Not only was it difficult to make progress, but also suffered repeated defeats. He was really ashamed to see Yang Ling.

Li Sen hurriedly returned to the handsome account, and said, "My lord, Li Sen report in!"

"Come in soon", Yang Ling, Feng Canzheng, Su Yushi, and the second prince were looking at the sand table and heard a voice raising their heads.

This was Li Sen’s commanding account, but this time the nest bandit rebels. Yang Ling is the commander of the three armed forces. He is the deputy commander. Yang Ling is here. He also has to avoid the seat. The commander’s power has to be transferred to Yang Ling. , So he didn't dare to be careless in his expression.

Li Sen entered the handsome account, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists, and said in shame: "My lord, the final general is ashamed. He has gathered 50,000 troops, but they can't attack for a long time. They are entrusted by the negative adults."

Yang Ling said in a nonchalant manner: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in the military. Suppression of barbaric warfare. After more than a hundred years of fighting, the famous generals have been dispatched, and the army has sent tens of thousands. ."

He walked over and helped Li Sen and said: "Get up, I have watched the terrain of the village with a few adults for a long time. I really can't see that the village is more dangerous than Bowang Mountain, Tongluo Ling, and Lingxiao City. Where are you. You have been here for more than ten days. Tell us about the situation, the enemy of the six counties, but now it's only in Dudu Village and Jiu Si City, I don't believe it."

Li Sen saw Yang Ling understatement, and took his loss to the army and broke the situation in one stroke. He was inexplicably grateful. He stood up and asked first: "Listen to your lord, Ling Xiaocheng has already won?"

Yang Ling smiled and said: "This officer has just received the news that Chief Soldier Song has outwitted Lingxiao City. Now a pair of wings of the Nine Silk City have been folded, and they will all collapse when they are removed. The officer can rest assured. Let the army commander drive straight ahead and approach the Nine Silk City.

There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from Song Zongbing. The officer did not transfer them. I have ordered them to build a fort at the dangerous pass between Jiu Si City and Duduzhai to cut off the connection between each other. , This is all stronghold, it is up to us to destroy it alone. "

Li Sen heard that Lingxiao City, which was as famous as Dudu Village, was easily taken by Song Xiaoai and a female stream. The pressure in his heart increased, and his fighting spirit became sharp. He walked to the sand table, took a long breath, and said awe-inspiringly: "Master Yang, everyone. Dudu Village is different from Tongluoling and Lingxiao City.

Full text novel reading, ()

At first glance, this place seems to be inferior to the above-mentioned dangerous places. The above-mentioned passes all have a man's pass and Wanfumokai pass, but none of them have any. But the difference between Dudu Village is that although it is called Dudu Village, it is not a cottage, but a collection of many cottages where Duzhangmen are quite concentrated.

Dudu Village is divided into Dadudu, Erdudu and Wududu. This is the main part of Dudu Village. There are five mountain peaks, with dangerous peaks, cliffs, gorges, swamps and dense forests in the middle. There are ambushes everywhere.

Including its periphery, the terrain is also intricate. The official wanted to cut off the periphery first and shrink inward one step at a time. However, the terrain here is not suitable for other methods of encircling the land. Please see, adults. On this side of Dudu Village, there are blue cliffs and Hongya ghost **** cliffs that cannot be climbed, and there are dozens of cottages, large and small, such as Aerzhai.

They are close to each other and close to each other. If you try to seize any one, you will receive assistance from other villages, even if you grab one. We can't stay for a long time under the harassment of barbarians day and night. If you divide your forces and attack each village at the same time, you will just hit their plan once you enter the endless mountainous area. All kinds of dangerous terrain have become weapons of murder. We have been playing here for more than ten days, and this is what we lose.

Look at here again, there are Gaozhai, Pingzhai, Dongmuba, and Luobaozhai to the east. They are each other's horns, attacking a joint action of all the villages, and dividing the army into a jungle battle. Our army has no advantage. Give play to room.

To the south is Jiguanling Village. It is also an important pass in Duzhangman, and there are also Neiguan Village and Diaohou Village nearby. Especially the Diaohou Village living on the dangerous cliff, the danger is unattainable, and then once our army attacks Zhuzhai, they can easily go down the mountain, using the characteristics that are very familiar with the mountains, drill out from various inexplicable places and attack our army. Our army can't take care of both the head and the tail. There are enemy attacks everywhere, and there are traps everywhere. People often say that the plants are all soldiers, but here are really all soldiers. "

Yang Ling, Zhu Rangjin and others frowned, and their faces became more dignified. No wonder this is the most difficult to conquer. The dangerous terrain here is endless, and the barbarians are dotted with cottages, and they are simply the strongholds of all palms.

But the more you do this, the more you have to take down all these villages, otherwise the rest of the counties and villages will be defeated, and it will be completely useless. They all have such a base. Once the imperial army is gone, it will soon be able to resurrect. Occupying counties is chaotic.

Li Sen is also heavier and heavier as he speaks. He pointed to the southeast and said: "Here is the wheel-bound hoard, the mountain rises hundreds of meters, the forest is deep, the stone is the city, the tree fence is guarded by the tree, and the army will also kill every inch. Chengchi.

The current situation is that if you want to cut its wings, you can't do it. At the same time, you will immediately fall into the deep mountains and dense forests. Although the barbarians are few, they can whizz around, jump like flying, or use organs, or have cows and horses. Normally, everything can be turned into a weapon, which is hard to defend. "

Yang Ling and others were silent after listening. No one had any idea for a while. After a while, Yang Ling said: "Lord Li has also killed bandits in Shandong. He has rich experience in battle. If you see it, you should use it. What way to lay down the capital?"

Li Sen thought for a while, drew a big circle on the sand table, and said, "Set up bunkers, side walls, and garrison troops. We will besiege here and imprison them until they can't survive. Surrender."

Yang Ling's gaze narrowed and said: "How many soldiers and horses does it take? How much time? How much food?"

Li Sen couldn't help being dumb.

Yang Ling shook his head and said: "This place is different from Shandong, with high mountains and dense forests. Even if the troops are stationed, it is difficult to completely imprison the bandits in the mountains. Moreover, to enclose these mountains, it requires more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. Land money, food, and land taxes can’t be afforded either. As for time..."

Yang Ling smiled bitterly and pointed at the sand table: "The village of Duzhang Barbarians is in the mountains. There is land, food, birds and beasts, streams, fish and crabs, wild vegetables and dried fruits. If they are under long-term siege, Duzhangmen will not collapse yet, but the court To be worn down."

Li Sen's face blushed, hurriedly said: "The officials are ignorant, unrestrained, and use other experiences indiscriminately."

Zhu Rangjin looked at the sand table and suddenly said: "Pingchuan uses water and fire in the mountains. The adults wipe out the barbarian villages. Most of them use fire, but all the barbarians are vulnerable. Why not use fire here? "

Yang Ling shook his head and smiled: "Doesn't the second prince set himself on fire?"

Zhu Rangjin and Master Feng looked at each other in surprise. Do not understand the meaning.

Li Sen is busy explaining. Said: "The second prince, Lord Feng, you don’t know that these villages are everywhere in the mountains and forests, including the villages of Duzhangmanrendi. The fences are all made of wood, but one village is too scattered, and the other is inevitably there are trees everywhere. Separated by swamps, canyons, and cliffs. So if you set fire from one place, it won’t do much. If you set fire everywhere..."

He pointed to the sand table with a shocked face, and said: "There are nearly 10,000 people in the inner village. Although they are all dependent on the rebels,...not everyone can kill. And...the five capitals are connected by mountains. Surrounded by countless mountains, fire everywhere, the fire is difficult to control, the real one will start to burn, if it spreads, countless creatures will be charcoal. This is a big thing, I am afraid that the current sage is here, and I dare not take it for the sake of the little ones. Determined."

Only then did Zhu Rangjin and the others know the reason, and they had nothing to say for a while.

Yang Ling frowned for a long while, feeling helpless. I had to sigh faintly, and said: "Everyone, rest first, and we will learn about the surrounding situation, and then continue to discuss, the sky is infinite. There is always a way to think of."

Everyone arched their hands in silence, and left one by one. Seeing Yang Ling's eyebrows, Li Sen had no interest in talking. He also retired.

Yang Ling sat down in the empty handsome tent, and suddenly thought: "If Yun'er is here, would she have a good way?"

As soon as this thought came up, Yang Ling laughed blankly: "Does this still have to be asked? That girl, by all means to achieve the goal, if she were here, seeing her own people have suffered heavy losses, she would have burned. As for future problems..."

Yang Ling sighed: "Where can there be trouble? If today's coach is Cheng Qiyun, then in the end it will be found out: the people who set fire are the people who were burned to death. You don't know these ways. It's just a man In order to do something or not, you have to seek peace of mind..."

Yan Gaocai arranged for the newly captured cottage officials and allocated the land for the landless peasants who were called. He arrived half a day late and rushed to Dazhai at night. At this time, the sky was overcast with clouds, no stars and the moon, a few soldiers. Guard him into the barracks with a lantern torch. Unexpectedly, as soon as Yan Gao entered the big camp, he saw a dark figure spinning around in the dark night. The two met and saw that person. They were all commanding Li Sen, and Yan Gao hurried up to meet him.

Although he is still a small county magistrate in name, his actual power has long been inferior to knowing the state. It is only a matter of time to appoint him as the governor of the various yamen of the Department of Military, Political and Legal Affairs of Syria. Yang Ling The memorial has been sent to Beijing, and there is no reason for the emperor to be inaccurate.

So Li Sen also politely returned the gift and talked about it. Yan Gao asked to understand the process of the officials’ discussions today. After thinking about it, he asked: "I don’t understand soldiers, the adults said bluntly, do you want to take the capital? In order to attack quickly, the barbarians can occupy a land that is worth a hundred thousand troops. The manpower and weapons of our army can only use the power of the five elements and the power of heaven and earth?"

Li Sen simply nodded and smiled bitterly: "By the way, if you want to attack quickly, you have to ask Huo De Xingjun for help, but there are tens of thousands of creatures in the mountains. This is really dry and peaceful, if the fire spreads. , It is a great disaster, no one dares to take this idea."

Yan Gao glared and said: "If this is not the case, the rebellion will be the same as in the past. The army dragged on for three or four years, and the dragged soldiers were exhausted, and the surrounding counties had just been converted. When the barbarians come out of the mountain, everything will return to the old appearance. After a few years, another big battle will be fought again and again, and the cycle will go back and forth?"

Li Sen stretched his hands and said: "Does Master Yan have any ideas?"

Yan Gao just rolled up his sleeves and said, "I don't think Gao Jian, I'm going to see the adults!" After asking about Yang Ling's residence, he strode away.

Yang Ling was closing her eyes in her account and calculating the tricky things in Dudu Village. Suddenly the door rang, and one person said: "My lord, Yan Gao just wants to see you."

"Oh?" Yang Ling opened his eyes. Sit up from the chair, hurriedly said: "Please."

Yan Gaocai entered the account and saluted Yang Ling: "The official has seen an adult."

"You are welcome, sit down, come and see the guests." Yang Ling responded with a smile, waved his hand to let him sit down, and asked: "How is the work done?"

Yan Gaocai said: "The six counties of Xuzhou Prefecture, Gao, Gong, Junlian, Changning, Jiang'an, and Naxi, except for this county, are violently relocating. Gao Cailie came enthusiastically and supported the court. This move not only solved the hidden dangers of riots in other places, but also provided enough farming jobs for farmers in the six counties, which was beneficial to the court and the people."

"Okay!" Yang Ling applauded cheerfully.

Yan Gaocai changed his words: "However, the officials are afraid of such a good situation. It will not last long. If the court can't take down the capital, it will be difficult to quell the chaos of the palms. The army is stationed in confrontation, and the ending is just the same as before. The ruins of the official suppression of the bandits. In the end it was nothing.

When the barbarians come out of the mountains, they will reoccupy key passes such as Jiguan Mountain, Lingxiao Peak, Tongluo Mountain and Bowang Mountain. Until then. Duzhangman is still a confidant of Sichuan, and the people living everywhere will be extremely disappointed in the court, and the court's prestige will be wiped out. In the future, it will be difficult to change the land and return to the local government and solve the Xuzhou incident completely. All palms will become ill. "

Yang Ling listened in silence, and sighed for a long while, pinching his eyebrows and saying: "The officer is like riding a tiger on the back, unable to advance or retreat. It is really embarrassing."

Yan Gaocai said solemnly: "My lord, the sky is broken, our teacher is in danger. When the clown is dead this day. It is better to take advantage of the broken bamboo and harvest the power early. Think of the barbarian warrior, but thousands of people, I can do it several times, and there is no one who can overcome it. The way to attack danger is to win by surprise. If you don’t work hard and die, you want to win by time. How much is the cost of one month in the military? This is a self-defense strategy."

Yang Ling was silent for a long time and said: "If you want to win by surprise, only fire..."

Yan Gaocai immediately bowed his hand: "See you, my lord!"

Yang Ling rolled his eyes, arched his hands, and said: "Mr. Talent! Once the fire spreads, it will harm countless lives in the world. How can Mr. teach me?"

Yan Gaocai rolled his eyes and said: "The lower officials are under the rule, because most people in the county live in densely forested places. For fire prevention, they live within ten feet of the forest. The mountains must be cleared. The fire is powerful, not comparable to a stove fire, but if you clear the empty space of thirty meters, only the officers and soldiers will guard them and put out the weak sparks at any time. Why should the fire spread?"

Yang Ling stunned: "Fire belts? This method is feasible. Anyway, the fire is not extinguished and the smoke is everywhere. The army of the court cannot enter Duduzhai. Let them temporarily be firefighters on the periphery. This job will definitely be possible. Competent."

He then thought about it, and then hesitated: "Master Yan, the rebels in the mountains are not gangsters, but local mountain people who are rioting. They are also bandits and citizens. Among them, there are still young women and children who set fire here. Wangshan, Tongluoling, I’m afraid... alas! I’m afraid it will hurt the innocent."

Yan Gaocai said solemnly: "My lord, no matter how innocent the people in the mountain are, are they as innocent as those outside the mountain? Are they innocent as the dead and wounded soldiers? Now we can’t solve the matter once and for all, so that this place will last for a long time and will be harmful. Are the people in the future innocent?"

Yan Gaocai got up and gave a deep salute, impassionedly: "Adults have the kindness to know and meet the subordinates, and the subordinates know everything to say to the adults, and they are endless. Please listen to my heartfelt words.

My lord, the lower officials think that only people who are not in their place and responsible will stand by and talk about compassion lightly, so that they are magnanimous and generous. This kind of idle talk is pure idleness. Fart, shit, big shit! "

Yan Gaocai's face flushed, and I don't know if he thinks of the veterans who have been suppressed and restricted to serve as an official, making him difficult to move, and the official face is always urging him to be diligent and loving, and have more political achievements.

He raised his hand angrily: "But the person in charge has to consider the whole situation, not only to consider one place, but also to look at the overall situation. Not only must be considered for the time, but also for the long-term. People say that bystanders are clear, I say that bystanders are light, relaxed and responsible, and speeches are only based on momentary likes and dislikes.

An adult is a walker. The road is difficult and easy to walk. There are holes and rocks. Naturally, they know what they are. Why should you care about the idlers on the roadside? I secretly thought that the great government of the country can appease the land with benevolence and mercy. When administering benevolent governance, the second is fierce fire.

Everyone knows that the skin hurts when the fire is burning, so everyone is afraid of fire since childhood, knows to avoid fire and prevent fire, and be careful not to play with fire, so not many people burn to death.

The water is cowardly and gentle. Everyone thinks that green water is gentle, lovely and approachable, but many people die in the water.

Leniency is not necessarily a good deed. Sometimes strict government is imposed for the sake of greater lenient and longer lenient, my lord! "

Yang Ling was shocked: In troubled times, he used heavy codes. I remember that at the beginning of the country, the ban on banning prostitutes and bandits was vigorous and vigorous. There is nothing guilty of death, but is this heavy sentence wrong? No! If this is not the case, how can we quickly achieve a clear and stable country?

Women’s benevolence is only personally praised. Appeasement of weakness will only leave endless hidden dangers, bring endless suffering to more people, and even brew even greater disasters.

He stood up abruptly, walked to the tent and looked up at the gloomy sky. There are no stars or moons in the sky, and the wind has risen and hovered. Seeing the heavy rain coming, Yang Ling's hands gradually clenched.

Yan Gaocai walked behind him and said: "A gentleman serves the country, strengthens its foundation, revitalizes its discipline, gathers together and follows it, and don't make any provocations. If there is trouble, take advantage of the subtleties and be urgent Fight it. Although the means are severe and unscrupulous, otherwise the disaster will spread and spread deep and wide, and cause great evil for the small good."

Yang Ling listened to it, for a long time, suddenly raised his hand and slowly moved, and whispered: "Even if it is the rain in the sky, it will fall with the thunder, is this the reason?"

Yan Gao just moved the color, and replied: "Yes, holding the Shura knife in his hand, the field proves Bodhi!"

"Okay!" Yang Ling raised his eyebrows and said flatly: "Okay! God wants me to be the executioner, so I will hold the butcher knife in my hand and stand in the field to verify this Bodhi Avenue."

At this moment, an electric light flashed twice, and then Yin Yin Shenlei rolled from the sky, like a battle drum, and the wind was also spinning.

Yan Gaocai stroked his palm and smiled and said, "I have the Buddha's thunder hand in his heart, and the anger of the Vajra Bodhisattva. My Buddha has the Guanyin to pass the world, and I also have the powerful thunder of the immovable king. This thunderbolt of the adults is also great mercy!"

"Kakchacha!" There was another thunder that shook the sky, and the long-running rain finally came down...

The offensive of officers and soldiers stopped.

For three consecutive days of heavy rain, the village was muddy and difficult to navigate, and the wet and slippery places, the original gurgling creek turned into a roaring buffalo. In this kind of treacherous weather, even local mountain people will not go out easily. If you are not careful, you will inevitably fall into a canyon, sink into a quagmire, or be swept away by a sudden flood.

So the barbarians almost don't even need to send guards, and there is no need to worry about the Ming army entering the mountains to encircle and suppress.

Using these three days, Yang Ling stayed at home, and together with Master Feng, Second Prince, Yan Gaocai, and others, they gathered Li Sen, Li Ze, Jiao Gui and other generals to review the defeated battles in more than ten days. Analyze the pros and cons of each copycat’s offensive and defensive situation and discuss countermeasures.

Three days later, the rain stopped and the wind stopped, the sun was over, and the Ming army began to act.

A team of officers and soldiers walked around the mountain, and began to station troops outside the main pass where the entrances and exits were everywhere, and built walls and fortifications, and assumed a long-term siege. At the same time, Yan Gaocai and the local county government officials and government officials, and mobilized some gentry and scholars, to propagate the barbarians to the people of all ethnic groups in the nearby villages to oppress good and evil places and commit crimes without following the king's law.

This is the base camp of Duzhangman, which is different from other counties. These villagers are all disadvantaged in the local area. They are usually oppressed and dare not speak or anger. They deeply agree with the government's propaganda.

It's just that they have lived here for many years after all, and they are worried that the court will eventually fail this time. When the barbarians come out to retaliate, they will still suffer. Therefore, except for a small number of homeless, unscrupulous people who dared to stand up publicly, most of the people are still waiting and watching, but there is more help to the officers and soldiers in the dark.

Liu Biao also led people to secretly rushed to Dudu Village, and sent a small group of shrewd investigators into the mountains to investigate the roads and cottage conditions after the torrential rains. At the same time, I visited the nearby villages to inquire about people who are closely related to the Duzhangman, and among the Duzhangman who stayed outside the mountain, who are more obedient and kind to the government.

As soon as the situation became clear, Yan Gaocai and others came to the door with gifts, and visited these doctors, cobblers, tailors and chiefs of other clans, as well as the gentle people of the barbarians, who had a good relationship with the savages. While talking about the power of the officers and soldiers, in particular, he exaggerated the achievements of the coach Yang Ling in various places by ten times, repeatedly indoctrinating these people to listen, persuading them to enter the mountains and persuade their close friends and relatives to come out and surrender.

Some of these villagers have never left a ten-mile radius of their homes in their entire lives. They don’t know a single word, and they don’t know anything about them. They are stunned when they wait for the yamen to leave. Even if the head of the household does not say anything, the wives and children. Early to express what the government said. To add gusto to the villagers, after repeated processing and tempering, the villagers came to a conclusion:

Du Zhangman must be defeated this time. The commander of the imperial army was brilliant and well-planned. He was the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming. How else would you dare to attack Dudu Village with 50,000 people? what? How did you lose the battle a few days ago? That's because Yang Qinchai hasn't come yet. Before Mr. Kong Ming came, the Shu army was also always defeating the war!

So, the virus sown by Yan Gaocai and others produced various localized variants. Later, even the mountain spirit and wood mandrill ran into the legend of Yang Ling to guest. Don't underestimate this kind of rumors and put them in modern times, in remote rural areas. Such legends of gods, ghosts, and ghosts still have a great influence, not to mention the palms of the mountains at that time.

In the nearby villages, there were fewer people who dared to make trouble secretly, and there was more public support. The momentum and public opinion spread into the mountains, which more or less affected the Duzhangman tribe, and at the same time strengthened the towns outside the mountains, The confidence of the villages in the court.

At this time, Yan Gaocai and others began to pay special visits to the people who have various close relationships with the barbarians and the heads of the Shanzhai. With the foundation of the above psychological offensive, they can move with affection, understand with reason, scare with threat, and induce. The heart is profitable, and it is appointed as an official. These people were shot one after another, and the "sacrifice" was in the hands of officials such as Yan Gaocai.

The officials left silk money and gifts of various colors and politely left. As soon as they walked out of the fence gate, these people carried their bags and went into the mountains and walked away from their relatives like a market.

They went to war, and these people rushed into the mountains to make a wish. Regardless of whether they succeeded or failed, they played a role of separation, division, and disintegration, causing the cottages to distrust each other and even cause civil strife.

Dudu Zhaishan is densely forested, and there are dangers everywhere. It is because these tribes work together to cooperate and cooperate, and the officers and soldiers who fought have repeatedly defeated. If there is a rift between them, when the fire burns, the officers and soldiers You can take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of it, wipe it out, and eliminate the troubles.

Come on,

Ahei, the leader of most mountain barbarians, soon discovered this abnormality. He immediately ordered all the cottages to ban relatives and friends from visiting the mountains, and all offenders were put to death. After questioning, he knew that the master of the pheasant village Wa Jiu had complained in public. , Complaining that the patriarch of the A clan was too arrogant and took the prefectures and counties into captivity, which caused great trouble to Dudu Village, so he pretended to ask him to go to Dadu Dushan for a drink, and then chopped off his head and sent his nephew, Agui. To take over the Pheasant Village, this temporarily stabilized the situation.

But at this time, people's hearts are floating. Once shaken, it is difficult to settle down. The barbarians are not good at stabilizing the military's spirit. They only know that they will be punished by harsh clan rules. On the contrary, they have aroused secret opposition from some tribesmen and sneaked out of the mountain at night. More and more people go.

Ahei was helpless, so he had no choice but to shrink the soldiers and horses of the various villages with all his strength, abandoned many of the villages, and placed all his troops between the five peaks of the Dudu Mountain and the dangerous mountain passes before and after, in order to rely on the natural dangers and fight the Ming army until The officers and soldiers were dragged down, and at that time it was his A clan who became king again.

Li Sen's army is also undergoing a major rectification during this period. During this period, those who have been successful in combat will be rewarded with the brave, the wounded will be treated with the dead, and there are indeed a small part of the army who are afraid of fighting and fearing death. The bluffing veteran who was fundamentally afraid of confrontation, Yuzi, was identified by the indignant soldiers and beheaded as soon as it was confirmed.

The rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished, so that the morale of the army will not disperse despite the defeat. During this period, the officers and soldiers inspected the terrain near Dudu Village, and dealt with the areas that might cause the fire to spread. Some resorted to simple treatment of natural terrain such as swamps and ridges to isolate them, and some trees were too dense and continuous An isolation belt of several tens of meters was broken in the middle, and troops were stationed to guard at the same time. everything's ready. The war is coming.

Yang Ling is surrounded by uniformly uniformed generals. Listening to his detailed combat deployment, Yang Ling has completed the deployment of the tasks that need to be performed by the various ministries, saying: "This time the division of troops and encirclement will be completed in the first battle. Guards, the dangers of heaven and earth. Together with the fire, the natural dangers are not enough to rely on, but there are still swamps, streams, caves and crypts in the mountains, and some mountains have no grass. The barbarians are familiar with the terrain and will surely avoid danger and fight back at the same time. Still not careless."

He clicked on the sand table of Dudu Village and said: "This battle. Frontal fierce attack, feint attack, and two wings approaching together. The main attack direction is in Wududu. The officer personally supervises the advance. The first is easy and the last is difficult. Most of them are mountains."

Jiao Gui said in astonishment: "My lord, Wududu Mountain is strictly guarded by Ahei’s brother Adam. There is a toad ridge underneath the mountain. The mountain spirals and towers, like a toad crouching. The mountain is a dangerous peak made of rocks. , Between the cliffs of the lone mountain, there is still a waterfall like a mountain. The danger is extremely dangerous. We have attacked the mountain several times, but we have not chosen there. That is why. Toad Ridge is not afraid of fire, and we have to take it down. It's too dangerous."

Li Sen also said with a solemn expression: "My lord, Toadling is guarded by Adam's sister-in-law Liu Lang. This man was originally an officer and soldier of the Baoning Guards Station. He bought the land from his family because of a clever attempt by the superior. The father became sick with anger. After his death, this man killed an official and rebelled, fled into the forest, and later voted for a barbarian.

This man is a martial artist, fierce and brave, and is also one of the best in the barbarian cottage. Adam admired him very much and married his sister to him. Now he is Adam's top general and his confidant. With this person guarding the dangerous pass of Toad Ridge, although Wududu is the shortest one in the mountains, it is probably the most difficult to attack. If the adults are determined to take Wudu Village as a breakthrough, then you will eventually be the vanguard. "

Zhu Rangjin immediately persuaded him: "My lord, you are in command of the entire army, and you have a heavy responsibility. You can't easily take risks. Are we going to have another main attack direction?"

Yang Ling said indifferently: "Although the Wudu Village is in Adam's hands, this toad has been taken by the official."

The officials were taken aback and asked each other with their eyes, but they didn't know who sent the troops, and they took down Toad Ridge quietly. Not only did no one hear the wind, but apparently all the savages didn’t even know it. So far, no one has been sent to regain this barrier. Is this person too capable? Everyone was secretly surprised, only Yan Gao was silent.

Feng Cengzheng said happily: "My lord is so calm, and he is about to send troops, he said such good news. I don't know which general is so brave and made this pioneer?"

Yang Ling laughed and said: "This person is in my account, Ji Lao Si, please come out."

The curtain on the back was lifted. Before anyone came in, there was a squeaky noise. An old man crouched slowly walked in. The man’s long hair was all white. The pale and thin face makes people feel chilly when they see it in broad daylight.

He is wearing a princess clothes~IndoMTL.com~ He is wearing princess pants. At first glance, he thinks it is a fishing ground, but his white hair is a little weird. There were brass bells on the ankles, hands, and waist of this person. When he walked around, there were noisy ringing, the sound was intertwined, and the listener was upset.

Some officials suddenly whispered: "Old Secretary, it turned out to be the old Secretary of the Miao family." Their voices were not loud, so they could be heard by those around them. It turns out that this old Ji Ji is not his real name, but the old one is the local name of the Miao wizard.

Yang Ling laughed and said: "Ji Lao Si often walks in the Dudu Village to pick herbs, heal the people in the mountains, and he is very respected."

Zhu Rangjin was dumbfounded, pulling the sleeve of Yang Ling, and whispered: "My lord, you...you want to use a wizard to attack the toad rock?"

Yang Ling laughed and said: "Of course not. Mr. Meng graciously helped him to build a bridge and make peace with each other. Now Liu Lang has voted as an official and promised to act as an internal response. No matter how dangerous this is, it's a matter of course."

Jiao Gui said in disbelief: "Can you persuade Liu Lang to turn back?"

Yang Ling laughed and said: "What's the difficulty? A black gauze, two hectares of land, three thousand taels of silver, Liu Lang's Toad Ridge has become the official's stepping stone!"
