Four hundred and seventieth nine chapters descend (below)
Torches flashed from time to time on the opposite hillside, like stars in the vast mountains in the dark night.
The mountain wind whimpered and the clouds tumbling. The stars were swelled by the clouds and turned into bits of starlight...
The scenery is like a dream, but Zheng Lang loses the mentality of appreciation. There are actually many beautiful environments. Whether it is Xionger Mountain, Tongbai Mountain, or Wudang Mountain, going south, the scenery is all good, but Zheng Lang has the heart to see it?
He said to Di Qing: "General Di, if you go to the south, you must remember some of my words."
Not far away, Chen Zhifang's memorial to destroy Huang's ghost hunting and forcibly reborn has been sent to the capital. It is possible that after he suppressed the rebel military, the south has begun to decay.
"Please tell me," among civil officials, the one who Di Qing trusts and admires the most is Zheng Lang. He attaches importance to himself, delegates power, and trusts him. No civil servant can do it. And his knowledge is profound, which means that the cold will be cold next year, and the drought will be drought. It seems that he has already seen the "secrets of heaven".
"In the past, the imperial court also had bans and soldiers to guard the border. The most feared thing was to go to the south. Often, if you don't accept the water and soil, you will die half of your life." Zheng Lang said that this is also a kind of redundant soldier, but it has a nice name, called Gengwu method, which was invented by Zhao Kuangyin. There are two reasons. First, Zhao Kuangyin was unified in the world, and the strongest soldier in the country was the ban on the capital. Therefore, the imperial guards in the capital often sent to conquer the world. After the conquest, they returned. The second reason was that Zhao Kuangyin saw that this was beneficial, which made the soldiers and generals not know each other and was conducive to the rule of the dynasty. Of course, he was not a time traveler and could not have imagined that it was so far-reaching, so he came out to guard the law.
If we really want to divide the country's regular troops, there are more than 800,000 imperial guards, about 300,000 garrisons in the capital, followed by Shaanxi, Hebei and Hedong, and other places. However, most of the border guards in various places still come from imperial guards in the capital to take turns to guard the border. This range includes the north and Jianghuai, Jinghu, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Lingnan. The most painful thing is to go to the south, die and the disease. We have been able to stay for three or two months, and we are a little familiar with the local climate, and we have to rotate, which is often not only hard on the roads. The wife and the wife are broad and the relationship is depressed. Fortunately, there are few military affairs in the south, so the harm is not great.
The most famous one is that Guo Kui led 300,000 people to conquer Vietnam, almost destroying Vietnam. However, because of the unacceptable environment, half of the soldiers were killed and injured, so Li Qiande was asked to surrender across a Fuliang River. At this time, Di Qing was not the former soldier Di Qing, and he heard some of the soldiers say. When it comes to Lun Fan garrisoning the south, they all looked like seeing ghosts.
Zheng Lang said again: "Because of Ping An Supervision, I gave a herbal remedy. Although it cannot stop malaria, it also has the effect. If you are not accustomed to the environment, you can eat some apples and tofu. However, as soon as the army was launched, the soldiers were crowded together, and all the soldiers were transferred from the north, so it was impossible to really eliminate them. This is what I worry about. So be sure to bring more military doctors and preventive herbs."
"Here."
"The local mountains are larger than the mountains here and the plants are more abundant. Be sure to ask for more guides who are familiar with the terrain. It is better to plan a camp than to act rashly. Also, once there is a change in the south, it will be transmitted to the capital and the army will start and go back and forth. At least the army will not arrive until next spring. There is a lot of miasma in the mountains in spring and should not be underestimated."
"Here."
Mainly, the south has few people and many mountains. If a place with many mountains becomes a unique valley terrain, animals and plants will rot after death and produce some substances that are harmful to the human body. After hundreds of thousands or millions of years of accumulation, it accumulates in the valley. Once it enters in the valley, it will be dizzy at the least, and it will die at the worst. It is not as exaggerated as in later legendary novels, but it does.
Zheng Lang, the commander in front of the battle, was not as good as Di Qing, but Di Qing was not as good as Zheng Lang in these aspects.
As soon as he said, let Di Qing take a precaution.
Moreover, the beginning of the art of decommissioning must allow the ministers in the court to see confidence. Once the war is defeated, they will think randomly and think that it is caused by insufficient troops. Once the art of decommissioning is terminated, even Zheng Lang will not know what to do.
Magistrate An came over and said, "Mr. Zheng, have you not rest yet?"
"immediately."
"What good advice does Mr. Zheng have?"
"You will know tomorrow morning."
"Yes." An Zhizhou hesitated for a moment and said, "The bandits are very fierce, and the terrain is evil..."
"An Zhizhou, do you still need to remind me? Fierce may not be because your subordinates are cowardly, and the terrain is indeed a bit evil," Zheng Lang looked at the mountain opposite again. The camp of the rebel army was not on the main peak, it was too steep and could not hold the camp. Instead, it was on a mountain not far from the main peak. The peak was not high and there was a natural platform on it. Behind were five or six more steep mountains. Although the mountain where the camp was located was not high, there was a platform from the middle and upper parts to the top of the peak, and there was a buffer rooting place, but from the middle part, it became very steep, so Hou Xiaoliu led the people to camp here.
"Yes," An Zhizhou answered tremblingly.
He led his army to wipe out, but failed, but instead sacrificed more than 30 people. I wonder if the court would punish him.
Zheng Lang did not express his opinion and said, "You go down and rest too, there will be affairs tomorrow morning."
...
The night is darker.
On the mountain peak behind Hou Xiaoliu Camp, hundreds of people turned out and quietly climbed up to the mountain. As soon as they approached the top of the mountain, hundreds of people stopped. This was the plan that Di Qing and Zheng Lang had come up with. It was possible to attack the rebels with their own army, but many soldiers would die. It had nothing to do with the fierceness of the enemy. It was not worth the sacrifice of a strong attack.
But when you turn from behind the mountain, some peaks are not connected, and there are even a wide valley in the middle. It takes this round and trouble to attack the front, and it is not worth it. There are only three peaks that are truly connected. Under the guidance of the guide, there is a mountain that can climb up after the mountain. However, Hou Xiaoliu was not stupid and set up an outpost on it.
When the night came, Hou Xiaoliu sent people to patrol everywhere. Don't say that his subordinates would be afraid even when Zhang Hai saw this Song army coming.
In the end, Zheng Lang and Di Qing took a fancy to a mountain in the east, and there was definitely no road leading to the top of the peak. Even if they climbed, there was another difficulty to reach the top of the mountain. There was a cliff about ten feet high from the top of the mountain. It was very difficult to get up. But it was precisely because of this that the rebels were not prepared for it.
As for Zheng Lang training soldiers to climb mountains in Wushan and Xionger Mountain, the enemy may hear it, or may not hear it, but in their thinking, it was just to be familiar with the training done in combat in the mountainous areas. In this era, there were many people who asked soldiers to train rock climbing?
There are still other ways to capture this village, but the final choice is to prepare for the future battle in the south and in the more complex Nanling.
It is also a bully of Hou Xiaoliu without superb military talent.
Where can I get a large number of superb military talented people? Even Zhang Hai and Zheng Lang may not think he has much strategic and tactical vision.
Hou Xiaoliu had the foresight. As early as when his army arrived, he scattered. Why did he use this small mountain peak and less than 300 subordinates to fight against the four or five thousand most elite Song army?
Chen Shi'an took off his armor and handed it to the soldiers with the weapons. He was Zheng Lang who picked out one of the six people. If he wanted to go up, he had to move forward lightly. The other five were also preparing, preparing the hooks, some ropes, and a specially made grab hook, with four claws protruding out. They could be folded, and each claw was very long. These were rough tools to borrow force.
Chen Shi'an put a bundle of ropes on his shoulders. The rope was not long, only a dozen meters long, and it was also a thin rope. He connected it one by one, and finally used a thin rope to pull the thick rope to the top of the peak. The purpose of doing this is to reduce the load.
The commander horse tributary looked at the sky and whispered: "Start."
Chen Shi'an nodded and swam upward like slow snakes with the other five people. The difficulty was very high. The scene was very thrilling. It took almost half an hour. Chen Shi'an was the first to climb to the top of the peak without any danger. He connected the ropes one by one, pulled the thick ropes he brought to the top of the peak, tied them to a big tree, and then six people pulled up more and more soldiers and more ropes. Finally, the ropes were put more and more, reaching twenty ropes, and the speed finally got faster.
The commander ordered the horses to climb to the top of the peak and looked down. The enemy was patrolling below, far away, and there was a little night fog, which was not very real. I looked at the sky again. It was still early, and at the fourth o'clock. The horses breathed a sigh of relief, and the time came, without delay.
The last soldier was pulled up and put on his armor again. This lasted for a long time. It took two hours to start from Chen Shi'an to climb the rock. The sky had entered the fifth update, and Qi Mingxing began to brighten in the east.
But there was still time, and the five hundred soldiers continued to slowly and quietly towards the downstream of the mountain like a snake.
The enemy camp was finally close. The horse tribe took out a big firecracker from his arms, lit it with his tongue of flame, and shouted: "Roar!"
Nearly five hundred people rushed towards the enemy camp.
Hearing the sound of firecrackers, the Song army camp also moved. Zheng Lang and Yi slept on the bed, waiting for the notification, and immediately got up. Di Qing moved faster. He had already left the military camp and ordered the soldiers to blow the trumpet. Thousands of Song troops rushed up the mountain.
At this time, the horses had already rushed into the enemy camp and started fighting.
Without the cooperation of Zheng Lang's main army, the five hundred Song army alone could not resist the powerful five hundred soldiers as long as they entered the enemy camp and caused the enemy to lose the risk of geographical advantage. It was not yet dawn and was pitch black. Under the command of Zheng Lang and Di Qing, the Song army was divided into five routes, and they detoured in two routes to intercept all the enemy's escape routes, and the main army rushed to the mountain.
An Zhizhou got up with sleepy eyes. He didn't know what had happened, but the sound of killing on the mountain weakened, and there was a sound of begging for mercy everywhere, and the battle was over.
This battle was very beautiful, with only four soldiers killed and nine injured, two hundred and eighty-six rebels killed one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one other captured all alive.
The other two battles were also declared over, and they were almost wiped out.
The prisoners of war were handed over to An Zhizhou for handling together, and Zheng Lang led the army to the west to Guanghua Army.
When I arrived at Maku Mountain, it was getting late and the three camps were camping.
Suddenly, soldiers outside came in and reported: "My husband, that woman is here again."
"Oh, go out and have a look," Zheng Lang and Di Qing looked at each other and walked out of the tent.
Liu was standing outside the military camp, and two soldiers pointed at her with their knives. They could not underestimate this pretty little woman, who was so brave that she dared to break into the army and wanted to capture her husband alive. She dared to treat her and others as those of hers who grew up eating porridge.
Zheng Lang smiled again and said, "Liu, although I have said that I don't like killing women, children, young and old, but there is a limit. If you break through this limit, even if you are a woman, I will still kill you."
A soldier said, "Yes, my husband, kill her. She is not an ordinary woman, kill without blinking."
Di Qing also believed that it was necessary to kill. Zheng Lang did a good job in the northwest. Whether it was a woman or not, as long as the soldiers in Yuanhao's army were killed, the rebels would be killed. This woman was probably even more fierce than those Dangxiang women. Staying here was a disaster.
But it has not been said.
The young woman fell down and said, "This time I came here, representing the officials to surrender to the court."
The soldiers made a hilarious hilarious thing together, and it’s still over again. Is it over? It seems that not only Yuan Hao knew this move, but these bandits would do it too.
Zheng Lang laughed too.
Liu said, "My husband, we really want to surrender."
"Liu, when did I become a husband from a dog official?"
Di Qing smiled and shook his head. No matter what the reason for the rebellion, how many officials in the world are dog officials, but how can they call Zheng Lang a dog official?
"That's the slave who is wrong," said Liu.
Zheng Lang misunderstood that she really came to surrender. Han Qi started to attack in the north. Guo Miaoshan didn't know the sky and the earth were so powerful that he tried to resist. But was Han Qi's army the Song soldiers that Guo Miaoshan had encountered before? In terms of command ability, Han Qi was also before him, and there were two brave generals Jingtai and Ji Zhi under his command. In a battle, he was quickly defeated by the Song army. This kid was very clever and saw that the situation was not good, he hid and took advantage of the mountain terrain and hid in a panic with Han Qi.
In the hearts of the people, Han Qi's military achievements are far from being able to keep up with Zheng Lang's. Moreover, Zheng Lang's ability to chop wood without sharpening his knife was trained in advance to fight in the mountains. In the battle of Tianchang, Wang Lun was suppressed in one hour, and Hou Xiaoliu was eliminated in one hour, and Zhang Hai and his wife were a little scared.
When the court supplies arrived, some victims had other thoughts when they heard this. Some people quietly fled from the rebel army. Even if they did not escape, their morale was depressed. Compared with the situation more than a month ago, the rivers were getting worse.
There was also Zheng Lang's compassion, which made the couple think a lot. They killed the officials and became thieves, but they didn't want to do so. Later, the drought broke out and the officials were incompetent, and more and more teams were pouring in. The couple became more and more courageous and actually ran to the capital to find out the truth. But as Zheng Lang said, they were a stone thrown into the river, which could splash a small wave for the time being, but facing the surging river, the wave quickly developed towards the trend of disappearing.
Without Zheng Lang's mercy, the couple would continue to resist stubbornly, but because they saw that Zheng Lang had a sympathy, they came to surrender. Can they still have a relatively satisfactory ending?
Liu said again: "As long as the government does not hold us accountable, we, husband and wife, are willing to lead all 3,500 subordinates and surrender to our husband."
"Do you really want to surrender?" Zheng Lang asked suspiciously.
"Yes, as long as my husband says, I will go back immediately and ask the officials to lead all their subordinates and reorganize them."
"Are you afraid that I will cheat you for your conditions? When you come, I will kill you all?"
"I still know my husband's reputation."
"What credibility do I have?" Zheng Lang was ridiculous again by her arrogant first and respectful first.
"I want to ask my husband to think twice, and he also issued an order saying that those who surrender will not be held accountable. As long as we are not held accountable, officers and soldiers do not need to sacrifice, and the country will be peaceful quickly. Otherwise, we, husband and wife, can only fight to the end. Although we will definitely lose, many of the soldiers around us will die. With the sympathy of our husband, we don't want to do this."
Zheng Lang walked around her suspiciously, as if it was true, even the title was changed to a low-key slave. Then he thought about the consequences and said, "Why do you want to surrender? It will be very troublesome for you to surrender to our officials."
