Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 399
"Haha, that's great." Wang Shuo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and shouted at the surrounding Tumu, "Did you hear that? There are thousands of female soldiers. This time, you can make the sons happy enough!"

After a pause, Wang Shuo shouted again: "Get ready to do it!"

Wang Shuo gave an order, and the local soldiers of Xiwushi Cave Division entered the woods on both sides separately.

After waiting for almost an hour, the sound of orderly footsteps came from the official road ahead.

When Wang Shuo looked out anxiously, he saw groups of officers and soldiers approaching along the official road in central Guizhou, led by white soldiers holding white spears, Wang Shuo frowned.

These white soldiers of Shi Yusi are not easy to mess with.

But fortunately, there are not many white-armed soldiers in Shijiesi, about a thousand or so.

Following the white soldiers came the female soldiers, many of whom were graceful and graceful, even wearing cloth masks, they couldn't hide them, and Wang Shuo's breathing became short of breath.

After a while, the officers and soldiers entered the back of the rooster unsuspecting.

"Blow the horn!" Wang Shuo immediately roared, "Trap them to death!"

A group of trumpeters behind Wang Shuo immediately blew their horns, and along with the distant sound of horns, soldiers from Xiwushi Cave with oil paint on their faces poured out of the woods like a tide.

The entrance and exit of the rooster's back were blocked at once.

Seeing this, Wang Shuo showed a smug smile on his face.

This group of officers and soldiers is in a desperate situation, and there is no reason for it.

But soon, the smile on Wang Shuo's face froze.

Because of stepping into a trap and being trapped on the back of the rooster, the officers and soldiers did not panic at all. Instead, they began to form in an orderly manner. The swordsmen were in the front row, the musketeers were in the back, and the spearmen with the largest number were at the end.

In a blink of an eye, thousands of officers and soldiers formed a tight circular defensive formation.

Now the unfavorable terrain on the rooster's back has turned into an advantage for the officers and soldiers.

Because the passages into the back of the rooster from both ends are relatively narrow, the force deployed by one throw is limited.

A Tumu said to Wang Shuo: "Toast, the rooster you chose has a problem with the terrain on its back. I'm afraid it will be difficult for our people to hit the rooster's back."

"You know what a fart, I didn't say to attack by force."

Wang Shuo said unhappily, "The rooster's back is a desperate place. The officers and soldiers can't find water on the rooster's back. They will be thirsty within half a day, and they will completely collapse in three days. Then we can save money." The key to eating up this group of officers and soldiers is to capture the female soldiers of the officers and soldiers alive, hehe."

"Oh yes." Tumu also grinned grinningly.

But soon, the smiles on the faces of the two froze again.

Because at the same time as the two of them were laughing, the sound of swans suddenly sounded from the opposite mountain col, and there was also the dense sound of war drums like raindrops.

"What's this sound? The horn of the officers and soldiers?"

Wang Shuo's expression instantly became extremely embarrassing. Could there be more than one army?
Wang Shuo's suspicion quickly became a fact. After a while, another group of officers and soldiers drove out from the opposite mountain depression, and after driving out of the mountain depression, they arranged their formation within a short time.

From this point, it is enough to see that this army officer is well-trained.

"Toast, it's broken." Tumu's face immediately collapsed, "Sanqian Erlang who stayed on the opposite side was surrounded by the officers and soldiers, and we can't help Erlang on the opposite side."

This time, the situation on the battlefield took a turn for the worse.

Originally, the [-] local soldiers from the Xiwushi Cave Division were divided into two groups, one east and the other west, trapping the three thousand officers and soldiers who came to rescue the Wang family caravan on the bare back of the rooster, whose terrain was extremely steep It is difficult for the native soldiers of Xiwushidongsi to fight in, but it is impossible for the trapped officers and soldiers to fight out.

If this drags on for a few days, the officers and soldiers will definitely not be able to bear it.

You can last seven days without food, but you can last up to three days without water.

After three days, the trapped officers and soldiers will become lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

But now, at least [-] officers and troops are coming from Yongning Prefecture.

In this way, the three thousand native soldiers on the opposite side fell into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

Tumu said, "Toast, why don't you hurry up and withdraw? Before it's too late."

"Shut up." Wang Shuo said with a dark face, "Retreat? Do you think we can outrun Shi Pusi's white soldiers? If we form a defensive formation and have favorable terrain, we still have to fight. If we turn around If you run away, you can only become the prey of white soldiers, and sooner or later they will hunt and kill them one by one, white soldiers are not easy to mess with!"

The native soldiers in Yunnan often boast that crossing mountains and ridges is like walking on flat ground.

But Shi Jie's white pole soldiers can climb over the cliff as if walking on flat ground.

Tumu said: "If you don't withdraw, you can only fight hard."

"Just fight hard." Wang Shuo said angrily, "Eat the thousands of officers and soldiers on the rooster's back first, and then concentrate on eating the thousands of officers and soldiers who came behind. "

……

Li Xiangjun and Qin Liangyu were on the rooster's back.

When the two led a thousand white soldiers and two thousand female soldiers to Jigongbei, it was almost evening, and now the sky has gradually darkened, and they can only see things at a very short distance.

Seeing the thieves taking the initiative to attack, Li Xiangjun shouted: "There are all of them, raise the torch!"

"No!" Qin Liangyu hastily stopped Li Xiangjun and said, "Girl, don't light a torch, especially in the morning and evening battles, it is even more taboo."

"Why?" Li Xiangjun was puzzled.

Qin Liangyu said: "Girl, you must have heard of the Saarhu War?"

"Of course." Li Xiangjun nodded and said, "This is the battle for the rise of Jiannu."

Qin Liangyu said again: "Then do you know why Juniper lost to the old slave?"

Li Xiangjun's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Could it be because of the torch?"

"By the way, it's because of the torches." Qin Liangyu said, "Because it was dusk and the light was dim when Jiannu launched an attack on the Ming army, so the Ming army lit up torches one after another, and in the end Jiannu's archers were able to secretly attack them." Opportunities, but the musketeers of the Ming army were useless because they could not see the Jiannu archers in the dark."

Li Xiangjun said: "The archers of the chieftain of Yunnan are also very good?"

"The archers of the chieftains in Yunnan are not very good." Qin Liang shook his head and said again, "but their blowers are very good. Although the range of blowing arrows is far less than that of bows and arrows, they are more accurate and highly poisonous!"

While he was talking, there was a "bang bang" sound in front of him, and the musketeers from the women's barracks fired.

However, the women's barracks were not equipped with the latest flintlock guns, but the previously eliminated Lumi guns. Although the speed of fire of the Lumi guns was not as good as that of the flintlock guns, their lethality was similar.

Two thousand female soldiers were divided into six teams and played in turn.

Just enough to block the entrance of the rooster's back.

……

The gunfire rang out, and the soldiers on the opposite side fell down in a row.

The red rattan brand of Yunnan native soldiers is good at blocking arrows, but it is not good at blocking guns.

More than half of the Yunnan native soldiers in front fell down in an instant, and the native soldiers in the back row rushed up to replace them, picked up the shield woven by red rattan and continued to advance.

But soon, another barrage of bullets rained down.

Amidst the screams one after another, another row of Yunnan native soldiers fell into a pool of blood, so the third row of native soldiers came up again, but soon fell into a pool of blood again.

The native soldier sword player was finally scared and dared not go any further.

The native soldier blowers who followed could only raise their blowing tubes and randomly blow poisonous arrows at the Ming army who was still at least thirty steps away. This distance and the light at dusk were basically blowing nonsense.

A row of blowers blows poisoned arrows, and then a second row.

The Ming army musketeers on the opposite side were not idle either, firing their guns in turn.

Such shooting at each other is obviously very detrimental to the native soldiers.

As more and more sword players fell to the ground, Tume finally couldn't bear it.

After obtaining Wang Shuo's consent, Tumu immediately issued an order to retreat.

At this time, the Achilles heel of the soldiers was exposed, lack of organization and discipline!
A well-trained army can basically advance and retreat in an orderly manner. When advancing, it will not fight or rush, and when retreating, it will alternately cover. The most taboo is rushing.

In fact, Tumu also left a manpower behind, but it was useless.

As soon as the Tumu and the main force of the native soldiers left, the broken native soldiers also followed suit. In an instant, the native soldiers who had looked aggressive just now turned into stragglers.

Qin Liangyu accurately captured the fighter plane.

Immediately ordered a thousand white soldiers to launch a pursuit.

Li Xiangjun asked Qin Liangyu again: "Master, how can you tell whether the enemy army is really defeated or not?"

"There is no absolute standard here." Qin Liangyu shook his head, and said, "You can only make a judgment based on experience and your understanding and familiarity with the enemy."

Pointing to the Yunnan native soldiers fleeing in front, Qin Liangyu continued: "For example, the Yunnan native soldiers in front, as far as I know, are relatively poor in discipline, so even if they lure the enemy, they can turn a false rout into a real rout! But if the opponent changes It is a different matter if you are a Jiannu, because Jiannu is very disciplined, you can retreat in great strides at any time and under any circumstances, and you can turn into a counterattack at any time and under any circumstances without warning."

After a short pause, Qin Liangyu said again: "In short, fighting a war is actually the same as learning to play the piano. If you practice more, you can always become a qualified luthier. Then the same reason, as long as you fight more, you can always become a qualified general. If you can't become an excellent famous player, it depends on your talent and understanding."

Finally said: "Girl, your understanding is very good."

"With time, there is great hope to become a generation of famous players."

"Master, is it true?" Li Xiangjun's beautiful eyes shone brightly.

"Really." Qin Liangyu nodded, and said again, "But there is an obstacle on your road to becoming a famous general, and it may not be easy to bypass this obstacle."

Li Xiangjun didn't ask about the obstacles, and Qin Liangyu didn't say either.

But Li Xiangjun is smart and has already guessed the answer.

The biggest obstacle is the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty will not really let her lead the army.

While the two were talking, the east and west groups of rebels had already collapsed.

The women's barracks didn't act rashly, but the white soldiers were chasing and killing them all over the mountains and plains.

……

Two days later, the news that the white pole soldiers and the female barracks defeated the Xiwushi Cave Division at Jigongbei in Yongning Prefecture came back to Qujing, and the [-] soldiers of the Xiwushi Cave Division were almost wiped out.

Even Wang Shuo, the chieftain, became a prisoner of white soldiers.

Before Hu Guozhu's cavalry and Yan Yingyuan's new army arrived, the war in Guizhou was over.

After reading the Tang newspaper, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He thought that Qin Liangyu was seventy-two, and he was still so good at fighting, but it was a pity that the famous general was already late.

In addition to Yongning's good news, there are two other good news.

First, Zhang Jiayu sent a message that the stolen property sent by Ding Kuichu to Guangzhou had been intercepted. It contained more than [-] mules, horses and donkeys, weighing at least [-] catties.

Furthermore, the private collection of the head of the forty-eight volumes has been recovered.

There are more than [-] boxes, full of treasures such as pearls, agate, emeralds, wax, amber, ivory, purple gold, horseshoe gold, and rhinoceros horn. To be honest, Chongzhen has never seen so many treasures. treasure.

The original version of Chongzhen, as an emperor, has never seen so many treasures, and the treasures in the inner court secretary's key storehouse are not even as good as the eleven in the Qianguo government.

That's why it's said that the unlucky Chongzhen is really poor.

If the more than [-] emperors in ancient China were ranked according to their wealth, it is hard to say who was the richest, but most of the poorest were Chongzhen, except for those puppet emperors.

With a sigh of relief, Chongzhen's eyes fell on Hu Renzhi again.

Hu Renzhi arrived in Qujing just yesterday, and he also came with 1 shi of grain.

"Hu Renzhi, I have good news for you." Chongzhen said, "Wang Pingshan is fine, he was rescued by white soldiers."

Hu Renzhi let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the words, it's great that Wang Pingshan is fine, otherwise the Wang and Hu families would have lost a lot this time, losing a lot of money and costing so many lives.

Chongzhen asked again: "Hu Renzhi, can you give me an accurate statement now? When will the remaining 50 shi of military rations be transported from Pu'an Prefecture to Qujing Mansion?"

"It will definitely arrive before the end of November." Hu Renzhi was much more cautious this time.

Last time, due to the delay of nearly a month, a full compensation of 30 taels of silver was paid.

"What about the freight?" Chongzhen then asked, "How much does it cost to transport it from Pu'an to Qujing?"

Hu Renzhi pulled out his small abacus and calculated for a while, then replied: "15 taels or 7 shi of grain."

"Okay, I'll give you 15 taels of silver." Chongzhen said, "But don't make any mistakes this time. The remaining 50 shi of military rations must be delivered to Qujing Mansion before the end of November."

After a short pause, Chongzhen said again: "Don't feel depressed because you lost money, as long as you Wang and Hu families can do business for me and the court sincerely, I will definitely not treat you two badly."

Hu Renzhi's eyes lit up all of a sudden, is this a good thing?

"There is indeed a good thing for you two." Chongzhen smiled, then turned around and ordered Gao Qiqian, "Gao Banban, show the list of treasures to the shopkeeper Wang."

Gao Qiqian responded, and handed Hu Renzhi a long list.

When Hu Renzhi first received the list, there was nothing unusual on Hu Renzhi's expression, but after only one glance, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stood there dumbfounded. So many treasures?

I have never seen so many treasures in my life!
After a long while, Hu Renzhi finally came to his senses.

"Read it?" Chongzhen smiled and said, "Hu Renzhi, please give me an estimate first. How much are these treasures on the list worth?"
