I want to be emperor

Chapter 53
In order to face the Ming army, Luo Zhixue has been fully prepared recently.

He had people build solid fortifications in the valley, and even extended the defense line to both sides in order to ensure that the enemy would attack by detours. At the same time, he also set up checkpoints in places where the defense line could not be deployed to monitor and intercept the enemy. Small force.

The trees in front of the valley were also specially cut down, just to create an open area for the cavalry to fight.

He also did a lot of other preparations.

For example, they gathered enough food, arrows and other consumables, and even prepared a batch of spare swords and spears.

Luo Zhixue was well prepared and tried to stop the attacking Ming army.

If you can't stop...

Now that there are plans and preparations for defensive operations, there are naturally preparations for not being able to escape.

If he really couldn't bear it, then Luo Zhixue would not wait to die in Songshan, but would directly retreat with his troops and leave. Before leaving, he would also bring Song Blacksmith and other craftsmen with him.

He even prepared as many as four retreat routes, some going west to Lu's, some returning north, and even heading east directly to the hinterland of Ruzhou Plain, or going south to the hinterland of Nanyang Plain.

The latter two choices are purely because Luo Zhixue now has hundreds of cavalry under his command. If it really comes to a critical moment, for example, when the roads to the north and west are blocked by officers and soldiers, and there is no way to continue drilling the ravine to get rid of the officers and soldiers.

He could only give up infantry, artillery and even luggage, and rushed out of the mountains with only cavalry.

At that time, as long as they are flexible and not blocked by the cavalry of the Ming army, they can also pass through the more dangerous Ruzhou or Nanyang Prefecture areas, and then find the next foothold to cultivate their health and rest.

For this battle, Luo Zhixue was fully prepared.

No matter whether he can beat it or not, he has a corresponding countermeasure.

When Luo Zhixue was sitting and making final preparations, Huang Guangmao also led the army into Songshan, and came to the front of the Songshan defense line deployed by Luo Zhixue.

Although the scouts he sent were intercepted and expelled many times before, but after he increased the scale of a single group of scouts, he finally figured out the general situation in Songshan.

There were indeed rebels over there, and there were quite a few of them. Those rebels even built a camp with wooden walls directly on Songshan Mountain. It seemed that they wanted to rely on Songshan Mountain to resist, so he didn't hesitate and led the army directly to kill them.

Huang Guangmao looked at the Songshan defense line in front of him, and said after a while: "You can't control yourself!"

A sentry officer beside Huang Guangmao also said: "That is, if these bandits run away if they see us, we may not be able to catch up!"

"However, these thieves actually want to fight us hard in Songshan, I'm afraid it will be too long!"

"How can these few wooden walls stop us!"

Huang Guangmao ignored his subordinates, and directly ordered: "Send the order, the army will start camping to rest, continue to send sentries to check the sides, find out if there are other paths that can be bypassed, and send extra security around the perimeter to prevent sneak attacks by the bandit army."

Although Huang Guangmao said that the thieves on the opposite side were overreaching, he did not underestimate them. Instead, he chose a more cautious approach. He continued to send more sentries to check for ambushes, and set up perimeter guards to prevent sneak attacks.

They even sent people to find the path to go around.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could find a path to go around, and send a team of elites to sneak there and launch a fierce attack directly on the enemy's back!

After Huang Guangmao gave the order, Wang Jida came over after a while.

At this time, Wang Jida finally didn't come here in a sedan chair, but walked directly dragging his fat body.

"Huang Dusi, the bandit army is right in front of you, and it's time to make contributions, why did you stop?"

Wang Jida looked a little dissatisfied: "I see that the bandit army is only one or two hundred people, and they are only relying on a few wooden walls. Our army has thousands of soldiers. It is easy to take down this bandit. Now we are not moving forward. In case the bandit army escapes so how?"

Huang Guangmao was upset when he heard Wang Jida speak!
This bastard doesn't understand anything, but he still likes to point fingers, every day there is either an opinion here or a dissatisfaction there.

Before chasing and marching, when Wang Jida was dictating, because the influence was limited, Huang Guangmao mostly obeyed.

However, the bandit army was right in front of him, and Huang Guangmao was very upset that Wang Jida was still pointing fingers at him.

But even if he was upset in his heart, he still had to hold back his anger, squeezed out a smile and said: "What the county lord said is true, this time I am strong and the enemy is weak, and it will not be a problem to take down this thief."

"It's just that the soldiers of our army are exhausted after traveling for more than a month, and urgently need to rest for a while. It is certainly possible to win the battle directly, but the casualties of the soldiers may not be small."

"In addition, I saw that the Songshan bandit soldiers on the opposite side had built a large barracks with wooden walls, and it was newly built. They should want to block us here and not easily escape."

"Even if they escape, we can catch up in time."

"Don't worry, Wang Xianzun, there will be no delay."

Huang Guangmao said so, but he was not sure if the bandit soldiers on the opposite side would run away. After all, there were thousands of troops on his side here, and it was normal for the bandit soldiers on the opposite side to run away after seeing fear.

But to Huang Guangmao, it doesn't matter whether the bandits run or not.

If the bandit doesn't run away, he will beat him up later.

If the bandits run away, they should catch up and go deep into the hinterland of Funiu Mountain to collect food and grass.

In fact, Huang Guangmao hoped that he could plunder food without fighting. After all, he didn't want to lose his soldiers.

However, Wang Jida stared at Huang Guangmao with narrowed eyes.

The look in those small eyes has gradually turned cold.

Huang Guangmao went to the mountain for food, and he didn't care much about whether he could kill the bandits, but Wang Jida did.

Although at the beginning Wang Jida and Huang Guangmao entered Funiu Mountain again for food, they also wanted to get some heads.

After discovering that there were hundreds of rogues around Funiu Mountain, Wang Jida's attention was already on these rogues.

He wants food, grass and goods from Funiu Mountain, and he wants the heads of these thieves even more!
So Huang Guangmao is now standing still, Wang Jida is very dissatisfied with the act of giving the bandit army a chance to escape.

According to Wang Jida's idea, he waited for a fart, rushed up to kill, killed all the brains in front of him, and then cut off the head.

With the heads of these hundreds of thieves, plus the hundreds of heads obtained from the ambush of Tatianhu's troops before, and then spending money on activities, Wang Jida reckoned that he would be able to move his ass up. Move it again.

As for the more than a thousand Ming troops who were exhausted after marching continuously, they might suffer serious casualties when they launched an attack directly.

It's none of his business, Wang Jida!

It has nothing to do with him if all the soldiers under Huang Guangmao's hands are dead, it's not the soldiers under his hands, it's also related to him, he can't even be regarded as Huang Guangmao's supervisor...

From the beginning, he just relied on his superior status as a civil servant to force Huang Guangmao to respect him.

In fact, strictly speaking, the two of them did not have any subordinate relationship, not even friendly troops.

Because Wang Jida is not a military general, he does not lead soldiers, and this one does not lead soldiers, so naturally there is no friendly army.

What, you said that he has hundreds of county braves under his command, and these county braves are the villagers protecting themselves and suppressing thieves, and they have a fart relationship with him, Wang Jida.

It doesn't matter even if all these hundreds of county braves are dead, these county braves have not been reported to the record. They are all the villagers recruited by him in the name of the county magistrate in private, and it has nothing to do with him if they are all dead. .

If it doesn't work, he recruits hundreds of county braves to make up for it. Who knows that hundreds of county braves died during their march into Funiu Mountain?
Just kidding, how could we have casualties, we are fighting with zero casualties, okay!

If it's not enough, and if things get serious, Wang Jida still has a trick!

He directly put all the hats on Huang Guangmao's head that caused serious casualties due to the defeat, and then brought together a few friends of the same year to impeach him. He didn't know whether Huang Guangmao would be asked to kill him, but he, Wang Jida, had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Anyway, as far as Wang Jida is concerned, if he fights now, he will not lose even if he loses badly, but if he wins, he will make a lot of money.

Very secure!

On the contrary, if he doesn't fight now, and those thieves on the opposite side run away, then he won't be able to get a single head.

Therefore, Wang Jida put pressure on Huang Guangmao without hesitation: "It's still too early to attack the bandits to prevent the bandits from fleeing, or is Huang Dusi going to sit and watch the bandits flee without moving?"

While speaking, Wang Jida squinted his small eyes and stared at him.

Wang Jida who was behind was still hesitant to speak. Although he didn't say anything, both parties knew that there would be nothing good to say.

Huang Guangmao was silent. He knew very well that if he offended this person, he might not be able to please him, and he might even face disaster.

After a few seconds, more than ten seconds later, Huang Guangmao still said in a low voice: "What Wang Xianzun said is true. I didn't think carefully before I was humbled. I will arrange it now."

He is just a military general who came from a hereditary thousand households, and his position is just a small governor. He really can't offend Wang Jida, a civil official who was born as a Jinshi. Don't look at him as a seventh-rank county magistrate, a big sesame official, but this time Humans have much more political energy than him, and the two are not at the same level.

Otherwise, why did he show such obedience to Wang Jida along the way, that he couldn't even fight back when he was beaten or scolded, and he had to match it with a smiling face.

I really can't afford to offend you!
After seeing Huang Guangmao go to arrange the attack, Wang Jida nodded slightly, looking at Huang Guangmao's back with a hint of disdain.

These lowly warriors are all low bones, always thinking about stealing, rape and playing tricks. If you don't put some pressure on them, they don't know how to share the worries of the emperor and be loyal to the community. I even said nice words to you before, how dare you Sophistry, I don't know your own lowliness until I slap you!

Now there is chaos and thieves everywhere are caused by the inaction of these lowly warriors.

And when Huang Guangmao walked over and began to arrange the battle with his subordinates, he also cursed inwardly: Bastard, don't let me take the opportunity, or I will be you sooner or later!
　Pull a wave of monthly tickets according to the starting point practice!
