The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 75 Occupying Gaolan Mountain

The joining of Yang Yong and Gong Yechang was like two fresh troops. Wherever the guns and knives passed, corpses flew across, quickly turning the tide of the battle. These dozens of people killed a bloody road and ran down to the northwest.

They ran until dawn in one breath, and they didn't know how far they ran. There was a big mountain in front of them, and they stopped to rest after seeing that there were no pursuers behind them.

This was an intermittent battle that lasted all night. Yang Yong and Gongye Chang felt that they were exhausted, let alone the others. I have lingering fears.

As soon as Yang Yong checked the number of people, more than 20 people were killed or injured. Most of the ordinary people who asked to join the army died in battle, and only five people remained.Du Yi was also injured this time, and was stabbed in the calf, but this young man was very strong, he gritted his teeth and endured it.Of the six attendants of the Tugu brothers and sisters, there were only three left. Fortunately, these more than 100 men, women and children had nothing wrong with them, but they were all terrified.

Brother and sister Lu Ke suggested that Yang Yong and Gong Yechang go with them to Tuyuhun, settle the people in Tuyuhun, and then raise a large army to conquer Yang Guang.

Yang Yong and Chief Gongye discussed with the people that this place is still hundreds of miles away from Tuyuhun, and the people can no longer bear the suffering of Dianpei. Moreover, most of the people reject these barbarians, so Yang Yong declined the brothers and sisters. With his kindness, he led the people with chariots and horses into the mountain.

Seeing that Yang Yong and Gongye Chang had no intention of going back to Tubo with them, Lu Ke and Yujing brothers and sisters left with three entourages, weeping and leaving, five of them and five riders headed for Tubo.

Yang Yong, Gong Yechang and others looked at this mountain. It was tall and densely forested, rolling up and down, and shaped like a dragon. The mountain was quite dangerous and the terrain was complicated. .

Later I learned that this mountain is called Gaolan Mountain, backed by the Yellow River, less than [-] miles below the mountain is Jincheng County.

It is not easy to occupy the mountain as king. First of all, the problem of food and accommodation for these more than 100 people must be solved, and there are still a few injured.Especially Xiao Mei Niang, the beautiful woman from the palace, her body is too delicate, after being frightened last night, her condition worsened and she also needed medicine.

Yang Yong discussed with Chief Gongye and selected a few able-bodied ordinary people. Chief Gongye took off his armor and put on ordinary people's clothes. Jincheng shopping.

When it was close to noon, Chief Gongye and the others came back with a full load. In addition to daily necessities such as food and medicine, they also bought some agricultural tools such as shovels, picks, and axes.

Yang Yong was overjoyed, gathered these men and women together, and carried out a simple division of labor. The old man and the woman helped several wounded patients to bandage their wounds, take care of the sick, light a fire and cook, and the rest felled trees, repaired houses, and built villages.

Lots of people make it easy to work. Although these ordinary people are not good at fighting, they are professional in doing these jobs and do not need training.Therefore, within two days, the cottage began to take shape, and the problem of food and accommodation was basically solved.

"My lord, this place is too close to the county city. I'm afraid the government will soon hear about us. It would be dangerous to send soldiers to raid the mountain and destroy the village. We have no soldiers and no generals, so we have to recruit troops. There is a good man in front of us." Opportunity, Brother Yu took advantage of this opportunity to go down the mountain, and inquired about it. The famine here has been going on for years. The government not only did not provide relief, but increased corvee and taxes, and forced migrant workers to build the Great Wall, which made the people full of resentment and misery. Some escaped in the middle, and killed There are official rebels, and we just took this opportunity to raise the flag to recruit troops."

Yang Yong was delighted when he heard that, and immediately ordered someone to weave a big banner, and wrote a few big words in red: "Punish traitors and sycophants, and punish those who have no way".This big flag is flying over the cottage, with a clear banner, and it is directed at the corrupt officials under the corrupt officials under Yang Guang and his subordinates.

Then he recruited troops with great fanfare, and Yang Yong specifically explained that no matter men, women, old or young, as long as they are willing to join the group on the mountain, they are all welcome.

Gongye was puzzled: "My lord, we want to recruit strong and strong men, we want to form a rebel army, and train our troops. Wouldn't it be a burden for those old and young people to come?"

Yang Yong smiled: "Brother, those who win the hearts of the people will win the sky. As long as there are ordinary people, there is no need to worry about not having a source of troops."

These days, Chang Gongye always feels a little unconventional when listening to Yang Yong, but he has long been used to it.After carrying out this according to Yang Yong's intention, sure enough, within a few days, there were as many as 700 people who went up the mountain to join the family.

Then pick out [-] able-bodied men to form a rebel army, and the rest will do all the work, such as logging, cooking, farming, weaving, blacksmithing, etc., to support the rebel army. With such a division of labor, everyone has work, and no one idler.

Yang Yong asked Chief Gongye to formulate strict mountain regulations and military regulations. There are no rules and no rules. The mountain regulations and military regulations highlight the ideas of "democracy" and "equality". There are no privileges or exceptions on the mountain, that is, merit There must be rewards, crimes must be punished, regardless of official position, regardless of gender, everyone is equal before mountain regulations and military regulations.Soon, these hundreds of people became organized.

Chief Gongye praised secretly, Yang Yong was indeed well-informed, and he was far behind.

Seeing that he finally had a cottage, two hundred soldiers and five or six hundred people, Yang Yong was very happy.The nine-story platform starts from the pile of soil, and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.I, Yang Yong, start from today, even if I formally raise the flag to rebel, Lao Tzu is the first one to rebel against the king in the Eighteenth Route at the end of the Sui Dynasty!
The fly in the ointment is that Xiao Meiniang's illness has never recovered. There are many people who understand medicine in the mountains. It will take at least a month or more to fully recover.

Yang Yong smiled wryly, all right, let's slowly recuperate, and specially hired two young women to take care of him.

When the book is used, there will be little hatred, and it is not difficult to know what is going on.It turns out that it is not easy to be the king of the mountain. Yang Yong has a deep understanding these days.Everything in this big family is new, and Yang Yong has to worry about everything. Fortunately, Du Yi, a young man, performed well. He and Gong Yechang helped manage the cottage, and soon became Yang Yong's right-hand man.

Of course, Yang Yong handed over the training of soldiers and horses to Chief Gongye, because Yang Yong was a layman.At this time, Du Yi waited for the wounded patients to heal, and practiced together.

This is Gong Yechang's specialty, of course he does his part.He began to show off his hands and feet on the mountain, practicing soldiers and horses.

Yang Yong was there to watch, admiring secretly in his heart, because his mind was completely blank about these, and he was also very diligent in admiration. From then on, he insisted on practicing with these rebels every day, and Yang Yong learned a lot from them in a few days.

Of course, Chang Gongye and the rebels didn't know the mystery of it, they were all moved by Yang Yong's diligence, so they practiced very hard.

Among them, the most hard-working one is the little hero Du Yi. Although he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he strictly demands himself. In addition to completing the tasks assigned to him by Yang Yong, he participates in drills on time during the day and asks Gongye to grow up at night. Give him eighteen kinds of martial arts.

Mr. Gongye saw that he was diligent and sensible, quick to accept new things, courageous and flexible, he was a plastic material, and he liked him very much, so he taught him some long punches, short punches and single sword routines, focusing on teaching him Immediately, Du Yi liked knives, so he picked up a Santing machete, and learned horse riding, archery, and machete dancing from Gongye Chang.

Du Yi studied very seriously, and every day he could be said to be dancing with the sound of chickens. After a few days, Du Yi's ability can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.

On this day, when Yang Yong and Gong Yechang were training their soldiers and horses, a spy from the rebel army came to report: "The report and the lord and the general learned that Jincheng County sent a force of about [-] soldiers and horses, and they raided mountains and destroyed villages." Here we come, my lord and general please make a decision early!"

"Stop!" The two had expected this day in their hearts, and now it finally came!The two immediately stopped the drill and asked Du Yi to assemble his team to meet the enemy.

A mere thousand soldiers and horses want to copy mountains and destroy villages, will they also wear them?The two didn't take it seriously at all.

In fact, it is no wonder that the two are proud and underestimated the enemy. From turning against the King of Han to making troubles in Xinglong Town, they have fought thousands of Sui soldiers more than once along the way. Thousands of times the enemy was killed in pieces, and the army was routed.Now, the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty only came with a thousand soldiers and horses, how could they pay attention to it.

The two entered the camp without panicking at all, and took a sip of tea to rest.Then put on the helmet and put on the armor, tie the burqa with belts, tie the armor to cover the group, and after the clothes are neatly dressed, they fly on the horse and come to the front of the team.

Xiao Duyi had already been waiting here with his horse and knife.Don't look at Du Yi's lack of helmet or armor, or even his short head. Sitting on a big black horse, when the wind blows against him, his small body looks even thinner in the cold wind.

But Du Yi's small face was tense, with two tigers staring at him, his face was firm and confident, and this expression alone gave people a kind of majesty.Besides, the big sword in his hand is not small, of course, you can't use a single sword when you mount a horse to kill the enemy, you have to replace it with a long long sword.

This machete has its own characteristics, the length of the head, the length of the blade and the length of the knife are all three feet and three inches, so it is called the Santing machete. It weighs forty catties, only slightly lighter than Gongye's long machete. .

Now Du Yi is an outstanding figure in the cottage. He has performed very well in practice these few days. Regardless of his young age, he quickly learned horseback riding and archery with Chang Gongye. The loyal, brave and loving general of the people was exceptionally promoted to be a centurion.

Yang Yong looked at the two hundred volunteers. Although they didn't have iron armor, they were neatly dressed. They all wore uniforms made by volunteers, with "righteousness" embroidered on their chests and "courage" on their backs. They all held swords and spears. Equipment, full of energy, very satisfied.

Even though these rebels have only practiced for less than half a month, their physical fitness has improved significantly, and they have mastered the basic usage of broadswords and spears, as well as the formation of attacking and defending. At least they can be pulled out like an army. It is completely different from Laobai. In addition, dozens of archers have been trained.

For such an effect to be achieved in such a short period of time, it must be said that Chief Gong Ye is a master at leading troops.In addition, Yang Yong's personal practice and taking the lead in participating in the drills also played a role in supervision and motivation.

At this time, Du Yi, who was a little impatient, bowed to the two of them and said: "My lord, General Gongye, the troops are assembled, and the brothers can't wait for a long time, give the order, rush down the mountain, kill them all without returning! "
