Chapter 120

Li Bosong nodded solemnly: "Ning Mingkuo has already told me about this."

Tang Yunxian went on to say: "Our Xuanwei Division once divided the Qiang people in Jimi Prefecture in the southwest into two types: raw Qiang and cooked Qiang. The Qiang tribes living on the plain along the river between Leqiang City and Laifu City are Familiar with the Qiang, they have had close contacts with our Dazhou for decades, frequent business and trade, have a good impression of the court, and yearn for the culture of the Han family.

The Qiang tribe in the south of the Thorn Road is the living Qiang. The tribes there have little contact with the Han people and are full of vigilance against the imperial court. Officials from the Xuanwei Division are not even welcome to inspect. It was discovered that they must be hiding among these Qiang-born tribes south of the Thorn Road.

There is a great contradiction between raw Qiang and cooked Qiang.Shu Qiang believed that Sheng Qiang was barbaric, while Sheng Qiang believed that Shu Qiang was a traitor and defected to the imperial court. The Xuanwei Division also mediated the conflicts between the two tribes many times.This time, Shu Qiang was bewitched by the rebels, mistakenly thinking that we poisoned the leaders of the various tribes, and was coerced by the rebels to kill our people and occupy our city. It still takes a lot of time, as long as we win a victory in a short period of time, it may shake them—"

Having said that, he bowed to Li Bosong and said, "General, please allow me to go and persuade these familiar Qiang tribes to surrender."

"Tang did not hesitate to serve the country, which is admirable!" Li Bosong praised him, then glanced at the prefect of Rongzhou, and said in a deep voice: "I am planning to let the ships of the Gongzhou navy within a few days A full load of soldiers crossed the Shu River, launched an attack on Liangjiang Town, and tried to capture it in one fell swoop, and then surrounded Leqiang City... However, although the Shu River is narrower than the Dajiang River, it is more than 60 feet wide, and the opposite bank is mostly muddy land, full of mud Water puddles, walking is more difficult...

I am afraid that as soon as the fleet sets off, the rebels in Liangjiang Town will be able to see them, and they will be able to fight on the shore, and the rebels in Leqiang City will also come to help quickly. By then, the soldiers I have landed will not be able to line up. It may be attacked by the rebels... Therefore, do you have any clever ideas to allow the army to land on the south bank and attack the rebels in Liangjiang Town? "

"General, in the early morning of this season, there is often thick fog on the river, and no one can be seen from five or six feet away. Let the fleet set off in the early morning when there is heavy fog. I am afraid that when the ship docks, the general army will not be able to detect it." Lieutenant General Ning Mingkuo said.

Li Bosong shook his head: "I have considered your suggestion before, but the general of the Gongzhou Navy told me that sailing in dense fog is very dangerous, because it is difficult to distinguish the direction, and it is easy to cause the ship to collide and capsize.

The bigger problem is that the Gongzhou navy is only fully loaded with 5000 soldiers at a time. Even if some ships can reach the other side smoothly, they cannot return to the port smoothly in the dense fog to carry the next batch of soldiers, which will lead to landing Because those soldiers couldn't get support, they..."

"Actually, when the weather is fine, it's no problem to lead an army to land on the south bank by boat." Ye San said suddenly.

Li Bosong's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "What's Fan Yanghou's opinion?"

Ye San didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Have these Qiang people had military training before?"

Tang Yunxian, who is in charge of the Xuanwei Department, replied: "Jimi Prefecture in the southwest has been stable for decades. Although there are often Qiang tribes fighting with each other, I have never heard of any tribe that specially allows the ethnic groups to conduct military training. Of course, the Xuanwei Department will never allow it." Things like this happen!"

"It can be seen that although the Qiang people are fierce, they lack training. Even if they are incited to rebel, the loose personality of these mountain people cannot be fundamentally changed in a short period of time." Ye San said slowly: "Even if the rebels in Liangjiang Town The army has discovered that our soldiers are landing, but it may take some time to gather all the rebel soldiers to attack our landing army. Although Leqiang City is not far from Liangjiang Town, it is still more than ten miles away, and the middle Only one pontoon bridge had to be crossed, and it would take longer for the rebels to arrive for reinforcements.

The width of the Shu River is only sixty feet, and the landing time from the military camp port to the opposite bank is no more than a stick of incense at most. If we can make careful arrangements and do more training, this time can be shortened.According to my judgment, when the rebels in Liangjiang Town line up and launch an attack, the troop carrier fleet can make two round trips to land nearly [-] soldiers—"

"Fan Yanghou, according to my understanding of the Qiang people, they will not be as patient as my Dazhou army to form an attack. I am afraid that they will rush to attack as soon as they see our army landing." Deputy General Ning Mingkuo tactfully reminded.

"If the rebels did that, wouldn't it be just right!" Ye San straightened his slightly hunched body, and his voice suddenly became louder: "Since General Ye founded the Iron and Blood Changhe Gate and incorporated martial arts heroes into the army to participate in the war, only Relying on brute force to defeat an imperial army is no longer possible. General Ye has described such a landing operation in detail in his book "Wulin Art of War". Don't you think so? Haven't you read it?!"

There was silence in the hall, Li Bosong, Ning Mingkuo and other court officials looked very unnatural, because shortly after the iron-blooded Changhemen was disbanded, Ye Wenbo's book "Wulin Art of War" was also confiscated by the court. was convicted of a felony.

Ye Ziqiong looked around the expressions of the people in the hall coldly, unable to tell what it was like.

Ye San sneered, and didn't bother with this question anymore, but said slowly: "Before the army lands, martial artists like me, Master Dugu, Master Jingxin, etc. who are high enough in lightness kungfu and good enough in martial arts can perform lightness kung fu and quietly fly across the Shu River." , lurking near Liangjiang Town.

When the army set off, let these hundreds of martial arts people take fishing boats and sail at the forefront.Because they all have martial arts, even the fishing boats don't need to dock, they can use their light skills to land and quickly complete the assembly.When the rebels attack in chaos, this martial arts army consisting of only a few hundred people can go forward to meet the enemy, and may even repel the enemy who is far more numerous than them.

And when the melee infantry of the rebel army stepped forward to fight, there is likely to be only the rebel leader and archers left behind. Dugu Zhenren and I and others can safely capture the enemy leader, defeat their light infantry, and burn his army. Barracks... In this way, do those rebel soldiers who are still fighting still have the fighting spirit?I'm afraid the rebels in Liangjiang Town will be defeated before the landing troops line up to fight..."

"Listening to Fan Yanghou's words is like seeing the moon through the clouds and mist, which has benefited me a lot!" Li Bosong was overjoyed when he heard the words, bowed respectfully to Ye San, then looked around the crowd, and said loudly: "This decision will be made according to Fan Yanghou's decision." Suggestions, formulate a landing plan, and implement it within three days as soon as possible!"

Although Li Bosong is considered battle-tested, this is the first time he has commanded a large-scale war involving real military-trained martial artists. How could it not excite him.

As the commander in chief to quell the chaos this time, Li Bosong had already made a decision, so how could anyone else oppose it? Even Lin Yanze, the prefect of Rongzhou, relaxed his face.

It's just that Dugu Changhui's voice sounded in Ye San's ears: "Let the disciples fight to the death in the front, while I hide behind and do some bad things like sneak attacking and burning the camp. Is this what you Iron Blood Changhemen always do? practice?!"

Ye San turned his head and met Dugu Changhui's contemptuous eyes, his expression remained unchanged, but his lips moved slightly.

Dugu Changhui immediately heard his reply: "Of course our tasks are not limited to these trivial things that can be easily done. The rebels in Leqiang City may be slow to reinforce, but Miao Wuhen and his subordinates will come soon." Faster, we must intercept them to prevent them from converging with the rebels and attacking the martial arts troops fighting on the river beach.

If we still have spare energy, it is best to stop the rebels in Leqiang City at the bridgehead of the Mahu River Floating Bridge, and buy a little more time for the landing army to completely defeat the rebels in Liangjiang Town... Do you think these tasks are easy to complete? "

Dugu Changhui was silent, and she had to admit: Compared with Ye San, who killed the enemy and made great contributions on the battlefield 40 years ago, she knew very little about war, but...

Dugu Changhui stretched out her hand to hold the long sword hanging from her waist. Since she suffered a small loss in Iron Sword Villa last time, she specially brought the Qingcheng faction's township sword—Tianshu, for this expedition, and secretly made up her mind: but In terms of martial arts, I will not lose to you old man, this time I must kill Miao Wuhen with my own hands, to show off my Qingcheng name!
..........................................................................................

When General Li Bosong of Rongzhou held a military meeting, the Bashu martial arts army was summoned to the school grounds of the barracks, where they were co-organized with more than 300 gang members from the Danshan Gang and the Feiyu Gang.

The main rudder of the Danshan Gang is located in Gongzhou City (now Chongqing), and there are also sub-rudders in most towns in eastern Sichuan. Its main business is to help people carry goods and luggage for short distances; Most of the town's ports are equipped with its sub-rudders, and its main business is the water transportation of Bashu.

These two Bashu gangs established by the old men of Jagged Changhemen have received strong support from the imperial court for more than 20 years, and their business operations have been approved by the imperial court. Of course, they are also strictly supervised by the Patrol Division, the number of gang members is limited, the number of weapons they own is limited, and they are not allowed to accept wandering Jianghu people with high martial arts at will...

Even so, the Danshan Gang and the Feiyu Gang are big gangs with thousands of gang members each. These 300 gang members are carefully selected from among them, with good horizontal martial arts and strong physique. They are the best for the infantry. Good candidate.In addition, the Danshan Gang and the Feiyu Gang also shouldered the heavy responsibility of transporting food and grass for the expeditionary army.

At this moment, the more than 300 gang members and other martial arts members belonging to the infantry team lined up in a neat square team and stood at the forefront of the whole team. They all put on standard leather armor and helmets, and held The standard square shield, but the weapons in the right hand are inconsistent, knives, swords, axes, hammers... all kinds, it's completely up to personal preference, but it finally makes the whole team look like an army.

Xue Chang, like everyone else around, did not look at the formation of the infantry in front of him, but cast his eyes to his side - the newly-built sixth team of the scout team, all of whose members are from the Goddess Palace.

The always mysterious Goddess Palace has sent four people this time, two old men and two young people, both of whom are women (there are no men in the Goddess Palace), but what disappointed the young martial arts heroes who had longed for it was their looks Very ordinary.

However, Tang Tianshu, who knew something about Goddess Palace, muttered beside Xue Chang: "That... the tallest one is probably Luo Lanmeng!"

The goddess Tang Tianshu mentioned was tall and tall, and even the loose Taoist robes could not hide her graceful figure. If one only looked at the back view, one would think that she was graceful and graceful, but her appearance was even uglier.

Perhaps after hearing Tang Tianshu's voice, the woman turned her head to see that the two clear water-like phoenix eyes under the overly slender eyebrows were like the bright moon in the night sky, bright and quiet, but also like the eyes of a deer, with curiosity in their agility ...

Xue Chang's heart was suddenly tugged. At this moment, he suddenly felt that what Tang Tianshu said was right. This person might be the rumored Wushan goddess Luo Lanmeng, but she just changed her face.

Xue Chang was thinking in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded towards the other party.

The woman showed a hint of surprise, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the elders of the Goddess Palace beside her, then lowered her eyes, as if dark clouds covered the moonlight, making the surrounding light dim.She put on an indifferent expression, ignored Xue Chang and Tang Tianshu, and turned her head to look forward.

"Brother Tang, does Wushan Goddess Palace belong to the Taoist sect?" Xue Chang asked curiously in a low voice.

"The founder of the Goddess Palace is indeed a female Taoist, but no one knows which Taoism she comes from." Tang Tianshu pouted at the Goddess Palace, and whispered: "I heard that the Taoist robes they wear are not so Ugly, when it comes to the annual Goddess Festival held in Wushan Town, it is said that their attire is even more gorgeous, no less than the royal attire... The reason why they are dressed like this now is probably just to fool the unknowing brash .”

Xue Chang thought about it, and felt that the Goddess Palace's approach was a bit contradictory. Maybe they were both martial arts sects and relatives of the emperor, and they themselves didn't know how to get along with their fellows.

Xue Chang was thinking about it when he suddenly heard exclamations from around him. He searched for the sound and saw a woman in a blue Taoist robe holding a man in her hand, leaping forward towards the towering flag next to the viewing platform. Linglou.

Immediately afterwards, another woman jumped out of the team, grabbed a man beside the school court, and flew towards the tall building ahead.

The two light-bodied women each carried a man weighing hundreds of catties, but like an eagle catching a chicken, they flew to the top of the building one after another with ease, and after putting them down, they floated down again.
