Chapter 11 Dragon and Snake Landing

The war with the barbarians, from the contact war at the end of February to the big explosion in early March, had almost no delay, because the two sides had already made sufficient preparations, whether it was a fierce competition or the accumulation of materials, as for the dispatch of troops and the deployment of troops, the deployment of troops, etc., had been deduced many times long ago.?

The counterattack in the south was all-round, and the barbarian army was ultimately affected by the short occupation time and the unstable rear. Although many Tianxiao Army were formed, the morale of the Tianxiao Army, whether it was the Chinese army that implemented the leading military policy in the south, or the new army (barbarian army) after the smooth reform of the military system, was incomparable. Most of the time, it was just used to give away heads.

Although the strength of the Tianxiao Army itself is really not worth mentioning, it played a huge role in assisting the New Dynasty in managing the people and suppressing the resistance. It is precisely because of this that the Shenwu Right Army reorganized by Ningjiang in Lin'an and the various troops of the Tunpeng Army were the first to attack the Tianxiao Army, which forced the barbarian army to begin to shrink its defense line. Wuzhou and Qinzhou on the north bank of the Long River were the first to fall into the hands of the Chinese army.

Although I quickly gained a foothold on the north bank of the Long River, I was still greatly hindered in the process of moving forward. Although artillery was used, the lack of excellent war horses was still the biggest problem for the Chinese side. There were many rivers and lakes in the south, and the effect of water war was great. However, if we wanted to recover the Central Plains, the cavalry would still be an element that was difficult to lack.

In order to avoid the weakness of its own firearms being inferior to the south, Shen Ce Zongbei decided from the beginning that the strategy of field battles with more mobility is not limited to defense of one city and one pool.

The New Dynasty's tactic of elite cavalry coming and going like the wind was indeed the most troublesome thing for the Chinese army in the south, which largely offset the advantages of positional warfare and siege war formed by the use of artillery. Some Chinese army were often attacked unexpectedly on the road and suffered heavy losses. Some artillery in transportation fell into the hands of the barbarian army that suddenly came to attack.

The strategy adopted by Lin'an side is to further implement the policy of starting the army, and at the same time, delegate power to the generals on the front line after setting the goals of the next stage. Coordinate the major strategies, and basically do not inquire about the specific tactics of the generals in the front, and only study them afterwards.

The general was disobedient to the orders of the kings outside... Such words were spoken by the prime minister in person in the court, and therefore became a "arrow" that many generals on the front line could raise at any time. The number of people was originally the advantage of the Chinese side, but in the past, there were too many constraints on truly talented people, and even famous generals could not show their strength.

Taking the reverence of China to resist barbarians as the banner, the whole nation resists barbarians, relying on the advantage of numbers to suppress the barbarian army, and then adopt the survival of the fittest to promote generals and officials who have achieved excellent results, and provide key support and supplement them. Such means indeed came into the prediction of the senior management of the New Dynasty.

Among the large number of casualties in the early tug-of-war, some excellent generals also stood out. Although some civil officials in the court strongly questioned this approach, even if the barbarians continue to be put down, they will inevitably fall into a situation where the heroes will be in a state of separatist rule and some forces will not be defeated. At that time, even if the barbarians end, the princes will be unable to quell the separatist rule. In this regard, Ning Jiang, the chief marshal of the world's military and horses, answered... What if it is!

This attitude of "I just want to wipe out the barbarians, and the floods after that have a lot of money" really blinded many people.

However, most people actually cannot see... or do not care about such a "distant" future. What they see is a stage that allows them to show their strengths, heroes who care about the world and ambitious ambitions. Anyone who feels that they have the ability hopes to take advantage of this opportunity, or show what they have learned in their lives, or gain greater benefits. Therefore, a large number of people are devoted to this epoch-making wave.

Although he gave the generals in the front to a considerable power, because in the name of the Grand Marshal of the World, he controlled the many supplies supported by the rear and the operation of the entire court, Ningjiang still firmly controlled the strategic direction.

Excellent people can get more resources and military strength. When each general has considerable control over his own troops, it can be said to be a disguised military merit system. If this wolves tactic is in the long run, it is indeed easy to leave any future troubles, but at this time, it will further amplify the weakness of the overall insufficient number of barbarian troops.

"...What does this guy Ning Jiang want?"

In Haojing Imperial City, the battle reports from all over the place flew like snowflakes. Shen Ce Zongbei frowned tightly: "Is he crazy?"

Emperor Hu suddenly checked the assassin and looked at the sand table, pondering and silent. After a while, he raised his head. The whole situation was complicated. At this point, even he could not understand: "From the history books of China, Ning Jiang's approach was somewhat similar to the way Han King Liu Bang dealt with Chu King. The Chu King of Chu King was both outstanding in his personal strength and military tactics, and he was invincible. In order to eliminate Chu King of Chu, the Han King adopted this method of giving a lot of benefits to the princes and delegating power to his powerful subordinates such as Han Xin. Han Xin was originally just a rule that was not valued.

Li Neishi, the King of Han followed Xiao He's opinion, and after building an altar and making a general, he directly appointed Han Xin to give him the power and army. After Peng Yue rebelled against Chu and surrendered to Han, the King of Han did not hesitate to divide his troops and put him in command, so he attracted all the heroes to serve. In the battle of Pengcheng, Chu King of Chu, he defeated the King of Han and the vassals with 30,000 elite troops, and only dozens of people left to escape. Chu King of Chu thought he was sure to win, but who knew that although he continued to win, there were fewer and fewer people around him. The King of Han fought more and more. With the strength of Chu King of Chu, he could not defeat the ten-side ambush of the heroes in the world."

"It looks similar, but it is not." Shen Ce Zongbei sighed. "The Han King at that time was actually just one of the princes. He promised a lot of benefits to other princes, and more were big cakes drawn by empty words. If he could not obtain the world, the world was not his. These big cakes would naturally be invalidated. He wanted to obtain the world and really become the emperor. He naturally had a way to deal with these princes again. What he feared at that time was the only King of Chu. As for the later "unknown old man", it was completely beyond his expectations."

Continuing, "The King of Han did not paint big cakes for the princes, nor did the princes use them for him. But Ningjiang, as the prime minister and the marshal of the world, was already in a high position and power. If he used his status and reputation to withdraw troops and power, he would be polite to say that it would be impossible to usurp the throne in the future. Even if he took back the Central Plains, he would either have further civil strife in the future, or he would only implement a strategy of banishing feudalism like the Spring and Autumn Period, and such a method of drinking poison to quench thirst..."

He frowned tightly: "This person's thoughts are completely unpredictable. I thought that he would definitely use the war chief lieutenant to collect power and concentrate power in one place. If he advances, he will wipe out the world, change the dynasty, and control the government and the country, and use the name of the emperor to command all directions and become a hero of a generation. Those who hold high positions but do not accept power have never been seen. What did he want? Could it be that he is a saint who does not seek power and has no selfishness, and after helping China regain the Central Plains, he will really pat his butt and leave?"

Emperor Tiger had his hands behind his back and couldn't help but walk a few steps.

All the strategies in the south are what they fear the most... in fact, they are the most unlikely practices.

From their perspective... or from the perspective of many people, it is impossible to imagine that the South would adopt such a method. As Shen Ce Zongbei said, what exactly does the surname Ning look for?

"There is also the north." Shen Ce Zongbei said in a deep voice, "The riots between Hehu and Lu Yue are still spreading. This is clearly the female master of Zoroastrianism is making a fool behind the scenes. If you want to take this opportunity to get a share of the pie, this is something that no one can think of. The question is, what is her trump card? I don't believe that she will really dare to jump out by relying on this little strength in her hands?"

The Swordsman came to the window with his hands behind his back and snorted coldly. To the north of the Huanghe River, although the Heishan Army, the largest rebel force, had been completely defeated, Zhang Yan was also killed in public, and the Momen was completely defeated, but the two forces of Zong family army Zong Zang Zang and Fuyun Village Sunhu were still quite difficult to deal with, like a hundred-legged insect, dead without being stiff. At this time, the sudden riots of Helian and Lu Yue did indeed cause great headaches on the side of Meng Shenjun.

"On the other side of King Minghuang, are you still unwilling to come out of the mountain now?"

"He was originally injured in the battle with Princess Shan and Qiu Shuijian, and was forced to retreat for a year by Ning Jiang, who was pseudonym Xiaobai Taoist. Now it is a critical period of cultivation. In the future, the old troubles will be eliminated. The Zong Sheng is expected to come out of seclusion. How can he be willing to come out of seclusion at this time?" Shen Ce Zongbei sighed, "If he is willing to come out of seclusion and help, the side of Shenjun Meng will also reduce a lot of pressure. Unfortunately, it's a pity... Ning Jiang's guy is really accurate."

He also said: "Now I just hope that the Queen of the Falcon can completely seize the Guihu Xing and block all the Chinese army in Bashu. But... I'm afraid I'm not too optimistic."

"What's your idea?"

Shen Ce Zongbei laughed and said, "It's better to release Xi Mengkuang and Xi Yanshou and let them deal with the Chinese army on the other side of the Changhe River."

He slammed and said, "With the tempers of their two brothers, if they really gain power in the future, they will definitely not let you go."

Shen Ce Zongbei sighed: "So I'll give them a chance."

...

***

To the north of Bashu, close to Luzhou, there are poor mountains and rivers everywhere. Some places can even pass by narrow plank roads forcibly built from the mountain walls.

No one in this world reads the words "The road to Shu is difficult, it is harder than to reach the sky". However, except for a limited number of roads, it is indeed extremely difficult to enter Shu from other places. Even if the road to Shu is not considered, such a dangerous place is often everywhere, bandits are rampant, and bandits are rampant. When the bandits are surrounded and suppressed, they often roar and sneak into such deep mountains, which makes people feel helpless.

On the steep and rugged mountain road, the group really meandered forward, and most of these people were exhausted. For the Jiangnan water town, it was originally a day of March, but here, during the spring and autumn, the air was extremely humid and the miasma was the most severe. On this road alone, many people fell ill to the ground.

The old Taoist, looking at the foggy hill in the distance, sighed a long sigh.

Those who followed him here were all non-combatants who escaped from Fuxiong Valley, including Yanshi, who was mainly good at wooden armor techniques, sword-casting masters who were good at casting iron sword-making, and some families of ink masters.

The Xinmo Sect, which once flourished for a period of time, finally ended in failure under the cruel suppression. Now, Princess Shan’s life and death are uncertain, and other leaders have either reported death or their whereabouts are unknown. With the help of some people in the martial arts world, they have been constantly shifting and finally come here.

But, what kind of situation is ahead of them?

They who know almost nothing about the outside world have no other way to imagine except to continue moving forward. After all, there is still a chance to move to the south alive, while other roads are basically dead.

The woman's cry suddenly came from behind. The old Taoist looked back and saw that the haggard woman was holding the child in her arms, sitting on the ground with her crying hoarse. The others surrounded her and comforted her. Finally, the child was hugged and buried simply. The woman continued to move forward with everyone's help.

Suddenly, the old Taoist raised his head and saw the light flashing in the mountains in the distance, and his heart skipped a beat. Such a light must be a reflection of something, which means that someone may be observing them in secret.

Who are those people?

In such a difficult situation, the old Taoist Shishi actually didn't have much hope. However, at this point, even if the enemy came, they had no choice but to think about it. In desperation, they could only let everyone speed up their pace and try to pass this path as soon as possible, and secretly hope that those people were not coming for them.

However, such expectations quickly became fantasy, and there were obviously people around them surrounding them. Although the face of distress and despair were accelerated, it was more likely that they rushed towards the net of death.

When they entered a plank road, they turned out and several people flashed out in front of them. Everyone stopped quickly and were on guard together.

"But my friend from Momen?" Someone walked out in the shadow opposite, "I am Chen Tianya, go there again, it is the Red Turban Army, Weiyuan Army and the Barbarian Army and the Li Hu battlefield. Please change your way with me to avoid accidentally encountering the Barbarian Army. The Ghost Military Advisor already knows that you may pass by here and send us to pick you up."
