Ming Zuo

Chapter 336

"I look forward to it day and night, and finally I have hoped for you."

The people who had tears in their eyes when they spoke were Gong Heng, Gong Duan's younger brother Gong Dian, and his cousin Gong Su.

Gong Su was the son of Gong Nai's younger brother.

Gong Li is also a well-known figure, one of the main alliances of Shan Zuo's poetry circle, and died more than ten years ago.

Gong Li had four sons, all of whom were not employed.The eldest son and this son have no heirs and have already moved to other places.

Now the third son Gongsu is in charge of the family, and together with Gongdian, he manages the formula family property.

At the beginning of the year, I learned from Gongduan that the new army would not be able to come for a while. After Gongdian and Gongsu discussed it, they felt that Mengyin County could not be defended.So the family moved out of the county seat and returned to the Gongshi's old house on the east gate.

Relying on the dangerous terrain of Yanggu behind the upper east gate, Gongshi repelled the harassment of the White Lotus Sect several times. Although he paid a heavy price of casualties, he finally saved his home.

Rao is like this, Gong Shi is also exhausted.

If the new army does not come, maybe it will be attacked by the White Lotus Sect next month.

"These beasts have harmed the eight townships of ten miles and eight villages. It is said that there are no more living people in the county town. Zuo Sanzuo, you have to avenge the villagers."

Speaking of the suffering of the past few months, Gongdian burst into tears, hating the White Lotus Sect to the core.

Although Gong Shi has been a minister for many generations, he has never been in a fish and meat town. On the contrary, he has really done a lot of good deeds.Because of this, he was convinced by the local people and united to guard the homeland.

"Brother Chunye, don't worry, this time our army is here to destroy the White Lotus Sect."

Zuo Menggeng gave a guarantee, which made Gongdian and Gongsu happy.

"Zuo Shenzuo can rest assured, we will carefully plan for the food and grass, and there will be no shortage of army consumption."

Zuo Menggeng waved his hand hurriedly.

"I teach the two brothers to learn that our army has its own regulations for logistics and supplies, and never bothers the place. If the two brothers are willing, please send a few guides."

Gongdian and Gongsu were surprised to hear that the new army did not intrude on the place, but they were also relieved at the same time.

In the past six months, the White Lotus Sect has done a lot of damage to the local area. Yiying production has long been destroyed, and the people themselves do not have enough food to eat.If you have to pay more food and grass for the army, you can't say that people will starve to death.

But the people have always endured such pain during the imperial court battles.

If nothing else, the fact that the new army does not disturb the locality is enough to conquer the hearts of the local people.

"As for the guide, it is obligatory."

Zuo Menggeng has other requirements for the formula brothers.

"The county magistrate of the party is going to take over the county seat. He is alone and has no support in the local area. He also asks Xian Kunzhong to help one or two."

The local government in Mengyin has long been destroyed, and there is not a single official left.What the party still faces when he takes office is a rubble.

Not only to rebuild the rule, but also to clean up the people's economy.

Without the help of the imperial court and colleagues, they could only seek local support.

Such good things, of course, the formula brothers will not fail to do.

Helping the party to restore the local order is equal to the formula's influence in the local area to a higher level.

Gongsu took the initiative to say, "Then I'll accompany the Ming Palace on a trip in person."

After the poisoning of the White Lotus Sect, the local people may not trust the officials sent by the imperial court, but they will definitely be convinced by the people of the Gongshi.

Zuo Menggeng sent a battalion to follow the party to take over Mengyin County.

The Gong's brothers only thought that Dang Huanchun was taking office alone, but did not notice that there were some high-spirited young people following Dang Huanchun.

These are the newly graduated young people from the government affairs class, and they will start from Mengyin to exercise their administrative ability.

The next focus of the new army's strategy is Meng Lianggu.

This is the only stronghold of the White Lotus Sect in the northern part of the Yimeng Mountains.

If this is removed, the White Lotus Sect will be blocked on the road to the north, and can only be trapped in Mengshan, waiting to be encircled and suppressed by the new army.

"There are about [-] members of the White Lotus Sect on Meng Lianggu. The leader is Bai Dasheng, an apprentice of Murong Cai. This guy is very smart. He set up eighteen lines of defense on Meng Lianggu, blocking all the way up the mountain."

Zuo Menggeng looked down at the sand table, but asked something else.

"Where's Murong Cai?"

Zuo Fu seeks truth from facts.

"I don't know at the moment, but the biggest possibility is to join Zhao Si and Dong Dacheng. At present, the leaders of the White Lotus Sect have suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining ones can only report to the group to keep warm."

Zuo Menggeng was keenly aware of something.

"This Bai Dasheng and Murong Cai have become dirty?"

Zuo Fu paused, then smiled and said, "Although there is no information, it seems that it should be so."

At the same time, he also admired Zuo Menggeng's keenness.

How could he know that in Zuo Menggeng's mind, the so-called Jianghu characters, benevolence, righteousness, morality and righteousness are all fake.When fighting for power, the means are more direct and vicious.

This one hundred great victory obviously has more means, otherwise it would be impossible to gather more than [-] people.

Intelligence showed that when Murong Finance was driven out of Qingzhou, there were only [-] people left.

Bai Dasheng has most of the strength in his hands, and it is strange not to think about replacing Murong Cai.

"Then if you say that, if we win a hundred big wins, won't Murong Cai come to the rescue?"

Huang Sanhu smiled and said, "Even if he comes, it's just to die."

The strength of the new army, to deal with these White Lotus Sect, there is no difference between [-] and [-].

Zuo Menggeng was very cautious.

"Fighting in the mountains is different from the plains. Due to the terrain, our troops cannot be deployed. In some local areas, we may even be at a disadvantage."

As the commander-in-chief of this battle, Sui Zhizhong agreed.

"At present, the strength of Baidasheng is mainly concentrated in Lutou Mountain in the northwest, Da'an Ding and Diaowo in the northeast, Wanquan Mountain and Huanggu Ding in the southeast. We need to pull out these places one by one. If it falls, there is no way to attack Meng Lianggu's main fortress."

Mao Yuanyi lay on the sand table and studied for a long time, and asked, "Can't we attack Meng Lianggu directly from the river valley in the south?"

Wei Qiyou explained: "Although the river valley in the south is relatively close to the main peak of Menglianggu, the height difference between the top and bottom is very large. When it reaches the middle of the mountain, it will be attacked by both sides."

The way of fighting at this time is different from that in the liberation war.

At that time, the range of artillery was very long, so even if the artillery was erected in the valley, it could reach high places.But today's artillery can only look at the top of the mountain and sigh.

In addition, the infantry's flash cap gun was not comparable to the more popular automatic firearms at that time.

Flash hat guns must be used as an organization to reflect their power. Once dispersed, they are not as good as spears.

After all, in the mountainous area with complex terrain, you only need to fire one shot and you are not allowed to reload, and other people's knives and spears will slash and kill.

If you attack from the back, the advantage of firearms will be offset a lot.

Therefore, the best way to attack Meng Lianggu is to start from the other peripheries.Although it is slow, advancing step by step to the top of the mountain can give full play to the advantages of the new army group.

After deliberation, the new army decided to start fighting at Lushantou, northwest of Menglianggu.

The top of Lushan Mountain is not high, only one or two hundred meters, but it is the gateway to Meng Lianggu.After passing the top of Lushan Mountain, there is a road along the ridge that leads directly to the top of Dagu.

Although this series of mountain ranges are collectively called Menglianggu, the highest mountain is actually the top of Daan, followed by Daguding, and Menglianggu can only rank third.

The reason why the main fortress of Baidasheng is placed on Menglianggu is because it is flatter than the top of Daan and Dagu, and it can accommodate more people.

Gu refers to a mountain with a relatively flat top.

However, before the attack, Sui Zhizhong raised a question that had to be considered.

"Senza, if we attack, will Bai Dasheng run away?"

The strength of the new army was insufficient, and it was impossible to completely surround Meng Lianggu with only dissatisfied regiments.If Bai Dasheng wants to run, the new army can't stop it.

After Zuo Menggeng studied the terrain, he said confidently: "As long as we are not surrounded by all sides, Bai Dasheng will not run away for the time being. He also has nowhere to go? Murong Cai, Dong Dacheng and Zhao Si will meet together, He is stronger than him. If he dares to go to Mengshan, Murong Cai will never spare him."

Mao Yuanyi did not understand.

"Why won't we run away if we don't besiege from ten sides?"

For Meng Lianggu, although Zuo Menggeng came here for the first time, he was more familiar than everyone else.

"This is a stone mountain, and there is no water on it. If we are besieged from all sides, and the thieves on the mountain cannot go down the mountain to get water, they will definitely break through. If we don't besiege, Baidasheng will have a chance. , it has long been broken."

For a military expert like him, the Battle of Menglianggu is naturally a carefully studied material.

The [-]th Division was reorganized because there was no water-cooled machine gun on the mountain, so I remember it clearly.

During the battle, due to lack of water, the combat effectiveness of the [-]th Division of the reorganization plummeted.Now, it is necessary to prevent the lack of water, forcing Bai Dasheng to escape in advance.

Times have changed, and operations have also been deployed in a targeted manner.
