Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 274 Tang Cang Town

The sky is a bit gloomy today, and the deep valley outside Sanguan is covered with a layer of mist, which adds to the sense of mystery.

There are bursts of pines and gurgling streams on the mountain.What's more, the dangerous path of hundreds of turns is hidden in the bamboo sea that stretches for several miles.

This place is suitable for drinking tea, discussing Taoism, building a summer resort, and enjoying the rest of the day.

Unfortunately, from the perspective of military strategists, this place is also a dangerous place that must be contested.No matter what mountain road you dig or what plank road you build, you can't get around Dasan Pass.

Here is doomed iron horse autumn wind, not bright moon Qingquan.

On the banks of the Huanghua River, dozens of miles southwest of Dasan Pass, more than a thousand soldiers are resting.

Li Tangbin was wearing a military uniform, standing under a pine tree, with a cold and resolute expression.

I don't know why, but he doesn't like the ten generals in the army.He's obviously a newcomer, and he hasn't offended himself, logically speaking, he shouldn't.

In the Dingnan Army system, the only person that Li Tangbin hated was probably Fan He, the capital of the Xinquan Army.Maybe Fan He himself had forgotten, but Li Tangbin still remembered that when he was in Fuping, he said that he was "very loose" and couldn't be beaten, which made him blush like a monkey's butt, and he was ashamed of it.

Fu Cunshen is Li Han's subordinate, and it is said that he has no grievances or enmity with him, this emotion is really unreasonable.Maybe it's because he's been one of the top ten generals since he came here, and he's been valued by the commander in chief.

Huanghuachuan is in the south of Huangniuling, and there used to be Huanghua County nearby, which has been abandoned.But the abolishment of the county does not mean that the people are gone. In fact, there is still a small village here.

According to the people in the village, they are actually from Fengzhou. Huangniuling and the Huangniu village on the mountain are both in Liangquan County (now Fengxian County, Shaanxi Province) in Fengzhou.It's just that Fengxiang Town is strong and Shannan West Road is weak. In order to obtain an outlying stronghold, Yang Sheng of Dasanguan Town forcibly occupied Huangniuling for several years.

Li Tangbin naturally wanted to thank Yang Sheng for being domineering.The terrain of Huangniuling is dangerous, and Huangniu Village is well built. If there is a strong attack, the casualties may be heavy.

Compared with Huangniuling, Tangcang Town is much easier to fight, because it is not on the mountain, but a gate is set up in the road, that is, Tangcang Gate, and there is Tangcang Lin.However, there should be no food and grass in Tangcang, unless it is occupied by a big town or strong town, such as the unified Sichuan or Guanzhong, and troops are stationed in Tangcang Town, Tangcang can be filled with military supplies.

To the northeast of Tangcang Town is the Huanghuachuan Valley, the place where the Tianzhu Army stationed troops. The terrain is relatively open and can accommodate thousands of people from the two armies to fight, but the Fengzhou soldiers from Tangcang Town obviously will not come out.

There is no way, sometimes it is necessary to attack by force.As the envoy of the Qing Dynasty, Li Tangbin knew what his mission was.

"Fu Ten General!" Li Tangbin shouted suddenly.

"The last general is here!" Fu Cunshen, who was sitting on a big rock drinking water, got up after hearing the words, strode up to Li Tangbin, and replied.

Li Tangbin saw that his breathing was steady and his expression was serious, so he nodded secretly.

At this time, warriors often rely on their bravery and are extremely arrogant. They don't pay attention to the enemy, and they just rush up and fight hard.Once the offensive does not go well, he will become angry and anxious, which often leads to a big defeat.

But Fu Cunshen seems to be much calmer than them, and he is not bad in martial arts, which has the basic quality of being a general.However, it still needs to be tempered and tempered, and it needs military exploits—proud soldiers and warriors, with such an ethos, how can they suppress others without military exploits?
"The thieves set up barriers on the road to block my passage. You will lead a battalion of soldiers and a battalion of auxiliary soldiers to clear the way first and attack Tangcang Town." Li Tangbin ordered.

"The last general obeys!" Fu Cunshen didn't haggle or procrastinate at all, and agreed directly.

Soon, thousands of soldiers from the two battalions left Huanghua Valley with their equipment and set off first.

Fu Cunshen was riding on a horse.The mountain road was rough and the horse could not be galloped. Wang Jianji ran to the front and led the horse for him himself.

"Ten generals, although there are only a few hundred enemy soldiers in Tangcang Town, there is a fortress, so it shouldn't be so easy to fight. If the offensive doesn't go well, Li Jun's impression will be bad." Wang Jianji said in a low voice.

He is just a small captain now, but he is very eager for fame.The beginning of all this stems from the dazzlement of Xia Zhoubo's practice.

Fu Cunshen knew this guy's heart clearly.Everyone loves fame and fortune, it's nothing, as long as you use it well, you can drive others to fight for yourself.

In the days before the expedition, Fu Cunshen stayed with the commander-in-chief for a while, and saw with his own eyes how the commander-in-chief drove the prairie warriors.

Eat and sleep with them while shooting, mingle and make them think you're one of them.

Then be fair and strict, generous and generous, and rewards will continue.

Finally, be broad-minded.Grassland warriors don't understand the etiquette of the Central Plains and are too rude.Some people have no bad intentions, they just want to show off their riding and archery skills in front of you, but the result is self-defeating.

When the commander-in-chief encounters this kind of offense, he often laughs it off, praises his ability, and asks the chiefs not to punish him, and finally rewards him.Sometimes, the warriors who offended him during the day were used as guards outside the tent at night to show their trust.

Fu Cunshen had seen it before. In late autumn, when the frost first fell, the warriors of the prairie stood outside the tent with their own soldiers, and kept guard all night.It's heartbreaking to see such a handsome man.

Fu Cunshen was studying silently beside him.How to employ people and how to drive people is a big question.

The marshal once explained by taking the golden eagle he kept as an example, there is actually no essential difference between driving warriors and driving eagles and dogs.But the truth is so, and many people understand that in practice, many key details are needed to lubricate.And these details are often easily overlooked, resulting in unsatisfactory effects of grace.

For the same warrior, if someone rewards ten bolts of silk, he will not be able to subdue him, but if someone rewards him with five bolts of silk, he will be able to return to his heart, why?
Personality charm, this is a word that the commander-in-chief personally said to him.

Fu Cunshen didn't know the meaning of the word, but through study and observation, he already had his own understanding.

Years of fighting have made the commander-in-chief more confident and assertive.Perhaps the commander-in-chief once doubted himself when he was young, and he was not very confident, but ten years later, he has abandoned those emotions, and he has spoken loudly. No one can easily disturb his heart, and the decisions he made are easily unshakable.

Even if the decision may not be correct, it is made if it is made, and it will not hesitate or hesitate.

In today's world, many people drift with the tide and muddle through.But the commander-in-chief has clear goals and ambitions, and he also dares to command and order these people, and he is justified, as it should be.

Let Zhu Mei move the town, and he will move the town.He didn't resist, and the commander also knew that Zhu Mei had no reason to resist, so the matter was just like that.

Dashuai is also convincing.The people who followed him all got high-ranking officials and generous salaries. Even if they were low-level sergeants, the whole family lived well.Speaking of being rich together, he did it. Everyone was convinced and willing to continue to listen to him.

So as soon as the commander stands there, everyone will automatically gather around and listen to his command. This is the charm of his personality.

After Fu Cunshen realized this, his progress speed is indeed a bit fast!

The army moved forward quickly, and arrived in front of Tangcang Town on the second day.There is a military flag hanging in the town, and there are so many people in the fence that it is hard to see how many defenders there are.

Soon, the brigade of thieves walked up to the wall of the village, with well-armored soldiers.The sun shines on it, the golden light is shining, dazzling and unusual.

The soldiers of the Tianzhu Army looked at it, and their faces were a little ugly.The equipment is worse than others, so it is natural to suffer in a fight.

Seeing this, Fu Cunshen stepped forward quickly, and said loudly: "The bandit army is dressed like Chang'an's Shence Army. The armor is excellent, but it is ostentatious. And they dare not go out to fight with me. They are already timid in their hearts. Thieves, why are you afraid of them?"

The sergeants laughed loudly after hearing this, and their worries disappeared immediately.

Chang'an's Shence Army has silver armor and good weapons, but what's the use?Can you fight?
"Wang Jianji, send someone forward to challenge. If the thief comes out, he will be a chicken and a dog. We can defeat them in one battle!" Fu Cunshen ordered.

Wang Jianji quickly led people forward, yelling insults, provocations, and invitations to fight, but the enemy troops in the village really did not dare to come out, and the noise on the walls of the village became louder, and the discipline was obviously not good.

"Bah! Bastard!" Fu Cunshen spat and said to the sergeants: "You are a coward! Isn't the good armor on your body prepared for us? All soldiers, charge up and break They captured this stockade and robbed their armor!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The veterans of the Dingnan Army took the lead, and the recruits of the Cai people also looked passionate, and their morale was mobilized at once.

Fu Cunshen's move to turn around morale did have some skill.

"Wang Jianji, you lead the team to charge! If you win this battle, you will win the first prize!" After finishing speaking, Fu Cunshen walked up to the big drum in person, pushed away the sergeant who was about to beat the drum, and started beating with the hammer himself.

"Obey!" When Wang Jianji heard the word "tougong", he immediately gave up and ordered six teams of soldiers and three teams of auxiliary soldiers. Carrying ladders, they formed a formation and ran at small steps. Spread out for the unit.

"Since the sound of the drum, those who don't enter will be cut off!" After saying that, Wang Jianji led a group of people and rushed up with a big shield on their shoulders.

"Kill, steal the silver armor of these bastards..." Tianzhu soldiers also shouted, climbing up the ladder.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Tianzhu Army were so brave, the bandits were a little flustered, but they still looked down and stabbed straight with their spears.

Wang Jianji stretched out his hand, grabbed the spear and pulled it hard. One of the bandits was unprepared and fell directly to the village.

"Kill!" After approaching the wall, Wang Jianji roared with all his strength, his voice almost piercing his eardrums.

The two thieves who were facing each other were a little dazed, and their men unconsciously slowed down.Wang Jianji took a good look at it, and rushed forward directly relying on two layers of heavy armor.Several people behind them also had heavy armor on their bodies, and they rushed forward desperately regardless of the weapons on their bodies greeted by the bandits.

Their bravery attracted many bandits to surround them.Seeing this, Fu Cunshen sent two more teams of soldiers to the village, holding their bows and shooting upwards. As a result, the bandits continued to be hit by arrows and fell down screaming.

A spear pierced, and there was a tooth-piercing scratching sound on the armor.Wang Jianji pulled hard, and the bandit army staggered towards him, and slashed down with a "poof", and the bandit army was punished.

Another spear pierced through the nail leaf, and blood oozed out.Wang Jianji pulled again, and the thieves hurriedly let go.Wang Jianji, who had snatched the spear, threw down the machete, stabbed out with the spear with his backhand, and the bandit soldier fell down clutching his stomach.

Seeing how brave he was, the soldiers' morale was greatly boosted. Regardless of the flaws and gaps in their bodies, they rushed forward desperately, as if they were going to die with the enemy.

The thieves retreated step by step, and more and more Tianzhu soldiers climbed up the wall. They stabilized their positions, and a warrior suddenly shouted: "It's useless to wear such a good armor! The armor of the Shence Army is also good. Grandpa hit three one by one and hacked them to death!"

"Stealed their armor!" All the sergeants responded one after another, their morale bursting.

The thieves looked ashen, and they were timid, and the fight under their hands became weaker and weaker.

Morale is such a wonderful thing.No matter how good the equipment is, no matter how perfect the training is, if the morale is low, if you are overwhelmed by the enemy, and you miss a breath at a critical moment, it will often determine the outcome.

"Hey!" Wang Jianji shouted after catching up with a bandit army who turned around and fled.

When the man turned his head, Wang Jianji stabbed like lightning, straight to the throat, then he lifted it vigorously, held it in the air, and laughed.

Even if Master Yang is here, he can't stop me!
When the bandit army saw this, their morale collapsed immediately, and they ran away one after another, and there was no one who dared to fight.

"Wang Jian and this guy still have a bit of courage." Fu Cunshen saw him from a distance, and couldn't help admiring.

The army of five hundred thieves, guarded by a fence and well-equipped, was defeated in a single battle against the thousand Tianzhu sergeants rushing towards them.

Tangcang Town changed hands!
