Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1079

"What's the situation at Tiebi Pass, did that fellow Yue Feng know that our army has crossed the Daying River?"

An unusually burly young general in full Ming army uniform stood on a huge mountainside convex rock, holding a binoculars in his hand and looking into the distance.Not far behind him, there is a dangerous pass in the mountains. The pass opens to the south, and the inscription "Nan Ya Pass" is written. However, there is an extremely fast-moving river between him and Nan Ya Pass. It is Dayingjiang.

Guan is in the north of the river, and he is in the south of the river.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a general in his [-]s behind him replied: "Young commander, it's hard to say, Yue Feng has been operating in Longchuan for many years. In the first year of Wanli, he had wings and killed Longchuan. It has been more than ten years since Duo Shining, the chieftain of Sichuan Province, won the gold medal talisman and defected to Myanmar under his false order, thinking that Longchuan Xuanfu was in power. During these ten years, he relied on the power of the Mang chieftain of Burma to invade the neighboring borders many times. Ganya Xuanfusi is also shrouded in its lustful power.

Young Marshal, the Ganya Xuanfu Division is just north of Longchuan. The Nanya Pass that our army just took was the first pass for Ganya to guard against Longchuan in the past. I am a little worried... Most of the Nanya Pass has Long Since Chuan Xi did it, it is better to seal off the customs first and check the inside of the customs, so as not to let anyone report to Yue Feng. "

The young general looked at the direction of Nanyaguan expressionlessly, and asked, "Xin'er, how far is Nanyaguan from Tiebiguan?"

This question was not about the old general who spoke just now, at this time a tall woman dressed in men's clothes casually replied: "It's not far, the straight-line distance is only about twenty miles, but if the eldest brother wants to attack directly, I don't think so." It's a little difficult."

The young general frowned slightly, then turned his head and asked, "Why? If it's just the mountain roads that are difficult to walk, it won't be difficult for my descendants of the barbarians and the elite of the Sichuan army. You know that."

He turned his face, and it was Liu Ting and Liu Xingwu who had been appraised by Mr. Gao Yushi as "destroying the front and breaking the formation, must be the first choice".And the woman in men's clothing whom he called "Xin'er" was naturally Liu Xin.

The men's clothes on Liu Xin's body seemed to be worn only for the convenience of movement. Her hair bun still kept the style common to girls, but the jewelry was minimally used, and only a plain silver jade hairpin was inserted horizontally in the middle of the hair bun.

Her position in front of Liu Ting, the elder brother, seems to be quite special. Not only can she go out with the army, she even speaks quite casually: "Because people are easy to handle, but guns are not easy to handle."

Liu Xin spread her hands slightly: "Although the batch of artillery sent by Mr. Gao is much easier to transport than ordinary artillery, you can't expect them to keep up with your surprise attack speed in such a ghostly place - if the artillery is not available, you have to Are you taking your life to fill the Iron Wall?"

Liu Ting was silent for a while, and replied: "It is easy to fight with artillery, but I am not a person who cannot fight without artillery."

"Brother, I know you can fight without artillery, but the question is whether it is necessary." Liu Xin took three steps forward, walked to Liu Ting's side, pointed forward, and said, "Master Gao and Liu Fujun trust you." I have received everything, and now we are on this road, before Annan's army lands in southern Burma, we only need to take down Longchuan... What are you in a hurry for?"

Liu Ting stood motionless, and replied, "Of course I don't want Tiebiguan to get the news, and the precautions are too strict."

"Yan Shi? What's the use of Yan Shi?" Liu Xin sighed helplessly: "Brother, since you dispatched troops for less than a month, you have broken through the three major passes of Ganya Xuanfu Division—Wanren Pass and Tongbi Pass. , Nanya Pass, these three passes are all natural dangers, which one was not claimed to be infallible before the war? But in fact, after forty cannons were fired in a few rounds, all the dangerous passes were turned into ruins in a blink of an eye, not the Nine Sides Great Wall. Such a body, how can it hold these cannons?"

Liu Ting didn't speak, Liu Xin said with a wry smile: "You always feel that the victory under bombardment is not real enough to show your bravery, don't you?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Chen sneered and asked back: "Xin'er, do you really think I still need to prove my martial prowess?" A big knife that weighs one hundred and twenty catties rotates like a fly, it is to show martial courage in front of those civil officials, after all, in their eyes, the greater the strength, the braver... Ha!"

[Note: When Liu Ting attacked Yang Yinglong in Bozhou, Sichuan, the historical record reads: "It was the day when Tie supervised the battle, holding the gold on the left and the sword on the right, and shouted: 'Those who use their lives will be rewarded, those who don't use their lives will be rewarded with toothed swords!' 40 people died in the fight. , and achieved a great victory." It can be seen that Liu Ting used swords in battle (but the horse-cutting sword is also called a sword in ancient books), and he killed 120 levels alone, which must be the most commonly used weapon.However, he did have a record of "rotating like flying" a 140-jin sword (made in the Ming Dynasty, about 160 catties in later generations), but it should be to show his combat power during martial arts.Otherwise, with his body size, he would weigh at least 140 jin. With the addition of armor and harness and 350 jin of broadsword, it is estimated that the weight of the horse under his crotch would exceed [-] jin. This is too big, and it is impossible to fight for a long time. ]
"Besides, don't always think that my display of martial prowess is just a result of my aggressive and ruthless personality..." Liu Chen turned his head and smiled at his sister: "This is just a means to boost the morale of the army."

"Oh?" Liu Xin was a little skeptical.

When Liu Chen saw him, he shook his head and smiled, and then sighed: "Xin'er, I'm not a high school prime minister, and I can't imitate his way of leading troops. You see, he is the nephew of Duke Gao Wenzheng, who came from a family of civil servants. He is also the number one scholar of the six poems and the chief scholar of the Ming Dynasty. Do people in the world want to see his bravery? What a joke! The soldiers will not place their hopes here. What everyone wants to see is that he has a well-thought-out plan and strategizing, so he fights All you need to do is to sit in the middle of the military dispatch, stay calm and plan well, and the people under your hands will naturally feel that they have a backbone.

I am different, my father and son are able to have what they are today, relying on bravery, breaking the front and breaking the formation, and being unstoppable. The reason why the family members and soldiers under my command follow is that I can lead them to stir up blood, kill the generals and capture the flag, and then make contributions and seal their wives Yinzi! "

Liu Xin frowned slightly: "But the city passes that have been bombed down, can't they be credited? Can't they make meritorious deeds and seal their wives and sons?"

"It's possible." Liu Ting said lightly: "But as time goes by, they can only hide behind the cannon and yell a few times. Once there is no cannon available, or when they have to fight hand-to-hand, they will reveal their true colors... Sooner or later, they will fight with those Nanjing soldiers." The guards are like trash, those who meet the enemy and collapse will go up, those who watch the wind and collapse, and those who hear the enemy and collapse will go down."

When Liu Ting said this, he turned his head to look at Liu Xin again, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, "By then, the Liu family will be gone."

Liu Xin was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled: "Brother can think so far, it seems that my younger sister is too worried. In this case, I can fight this battle as I want."

Liu Ting also showed a smile, nodded and said: "Okay." Then he solemnly ordered to the old man Ding who was also in military uniform: "Pass down my general order to leave the local soldiers of Guangnan Prefecture to guard Nan Yaguan, and the rest of the ministries will immediately get ready and set off with me. Assault on the Iron Wall Pass——I want to break through two passes in one day!"

After hearing what Liu Ting had said before, and receiving such a general order, the old man stood upright like a javelin, shouted: "Decree!", turned around and walked away quickly.

Liu Ting said to another middle-aged man who looked like a businessman: "Please tell Master Cao that although the cannon is good, I don't plan to use it in Longchuan. It's mere Yuefeng...he is not worthy."

The middle-aged man looked distressed, and said: "The general has the final say on military affairs, but Master Cao once warned that Yue Feng alone has an army of [-], and now the general's army is brave, but the number is only [-]... ...Besides, the general has left the Guangnan Prefecture soldiers at Nanya Pass to guard, so the general has only four thousand troops, even if Tiebi Pass is taken, how can this Longchuan City be easy to fight?"

Liu Chen sneered at first, and then said proudly: "The people of Helongchuan are only more than [-], but now Yuefeng actually has an army of '[-]'. It's easy to know how good it is. Such an army, in Liu His eyes are nothing more than chickens and dogs, so why bother!

You go and report to Master Cao, and ask Master Cao to forward it to the High School Cheng Tai Jian, saying that not only did Liu not need any Bozhou reinforcements for this battle in Longchuan, but he didn't even need the Eastern Yunnan native soldiers he brought along with him, so he used three thousand headquarters Destroy Yue Feng's [-] troops, and within one month, I will present the dog's head of Yue Thief to the Emperor and Senior High School Cheng to show my great power tomorrow! "

Liu Ting's voice was already majestic, but what he said was even more sonorous and resounding. Although the middle-aged man dressed as a businessman clearly felt that the difference in military strength was too great, for some reason, he felt blood rushing in his heart, and blurted out a sentence: " May the general win!"

Liu Ting nodded lightly, and said solemnly: "May the Great Ming win all victory!"

"Yes, Great Ming Wansheng!" The middle-aged man echoed loudly, the businessman's shrewd look on his face disappeared instantly, and his waist, which was habitually slightly bowed on weekdays, also straightened up, and he fisted Liu Ting forcefully: "Little one Then rush back to Kunming immediately, and bring the message as soon as possible, take care, general!"

"Take care, too, and have a good trip."

As soon as the merchant left, Liu Xin suddenly said: "Brother, I now believe that Mr. Gao's saying that you're the first choice to destroy the front and break through the formation" is not a polite phrase, but a real insight."

Liu Ting was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbfounded: "Could it be that you always thought that being a brother was just a waste of fame?"

Liu Xin didn't answer, but just smiled and said: "Now that the bull is blowing, little sister can wait to see what big brother does."

Liu Chen laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Xin'er, when I was a child, I always couldn't talk to you on paper, but this time I want you to take a good look. Your elder brother is worthy of the high school's saying, 'Destroy the front and break the formation, you must be the first choice'!" Said After that, he tossed the cloak, turned around and walked away quickly.

Liu Xin looked at the back of her eldest brother who was gradually going away, the smile on her face gradually faded, her eyes turned to the south, and she murmured: "What kind of person is the Deputy Capital Commander...?"
-
Guangxi wolf soldiers have always been known for crossing mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground, but today Liu Ting has proved with his actual performance that the elite Sichuan army under his command and the descendants of the barbarians are not far behind in this point, although many of them were captured by Yunnan. The strange mosquitoes in the mountains, which are almost like spring all the year round, are covered in bites, but it took less than three hours to rush to the outside of Tiebi Pass.

The Longchuan Xuanfu Division was originally an external Xuanfu of the Ming Dynasty, so the two major dangerous passes in the territory are located to the west of Longchuan City.Among them, Tiebi Pass is located in the northwest of Longchuan City, and Huju Pass is located in the southwest of Longchuan. In the early years, the objects of defense were the Manmo Xuanfu Division in the northwest and the Mengmi Xuanfu Division in the southwest.

However, now Longchuan is occupied by Yue Feng, and both Man Mo and Meng Mi are occupied by Burma, which he has taken refuge in. Therefore, the defense of these two places was not too strict.

It wasn't until Liu Ting was transferred from Yunnan to the east and Guizhou to the Tengchong guerrilla, and brought the Liu Jiachuan army and the subjugated barbarians who used to traverse the ten southern provinces, that Yue Feng became a little nervous and allocated [-] troops to the northeast of Longchuan. Defend against Liu Ting—in theory, it is the most convenient for Liu Ting to attack Longchuan from this direction.

[Note: I kindly recommend the Ming Dynasty series of maps drawn by "Ningnan Zuohou", but please note that many of the specific dates of the maps drawn are different from those in this book, so they are only for reference in terms of terrain and location.Specifically, in terms of the environment in this chapter, I personally recommend the one in Wanli's 30th year, which has the smallest difference. ]
However, Yue Feng was not sure about Liu Ting's personality. Liu Ting did not choose to go down the river without any shelter or obstacles. After that, he will fight against him in Longchuan.

Liu Ting's thinking reflects his courage: I not only want to defeat you, I want to completely destroy you!
Because if he did not attack Ganya but directly attacked Longchuan, even if Yue Feng was defeated, Liu Ting would not dare to pursue him because of his stable flanks. In this way, Yue Feng could calmly retreat westward and retreat to the Burmese sphere of influence to survive.

But Liu Ting defeated Ganya Xuanfusi first, and pressed down from north to south, so his own risk was minimized, and as long as Yue Feng couldn't escape, he could only be destroyed.

Although such a fight does not mean that Liu Ting himself is safe from danger, because the Manmo Xuanfu Division to the west of him is now also the territory of Myanmar, but because he came all the way to overcome dangers, he left troops behind to garrison them. Beware of the danger of the enemy in the west, so even if the Burmese came from the west, he would be able to hold out for a while - he thought that this time was enough for him to defeat Yue Feng and return to the army for rescue.

What's more, since Mang Yingli himself supervised the battle in the Xuanfu Division of Mupang further south, it is hard to say whether the Burmese on the Manmo side made up their minds so quickly to send troops from the west.

This led to a result, that is, Yue Feng left 5000 troops to guard the city of Longchuan, and sent [-] troops to guard the northeast, but there were only less than [-] people at Tiebi Pass, which was really facing Liu Ting's soldiers. It has the same strength as Liu Ting's troops.

But the size of the troops is not the biggest problem of Iron Wall Pass. After all, although Yue Feng is aggressive, Iron Wall Pass was built very early. At that time, there was no plan to station more than 5000 troops, so the capacity of Iron Wall Pass itself is limited. [-] is actually pretty close to the upper limit.

The real danger of Tiebiguan is that they just learned that Liu Ting captured Nanyaguan this morning.

At this time, the identity of the Tiebi Gatekeeper was quite unusual. He was Yue Feng's son Nan Xie (whose name was taken from Myanmar). Under Daming's counterattack, the loyalty of his generals was in danger, so he had to replace his own son who would not betray him.

In fact, Nan Xie is less than 20 years old, and has no experience in leading troops in the past. When he heard the news that the Xuanfu Division of Ganya had completely fallen, and even Nan Yaguan had been lost, the young man was stunned. , the first reaction was not to strengthen the city defenses, mobilize the morale of the army, etc., but sent seven groups of messengers in three hours to find his father Yue Feng for help, while running around in the White Tiger Hall of Tiebiguan.

And his biggest mistake was that after he received the news of the fall of Nan Yaguan, he didn't even dare to tell his generals to prevent these people from defecting temporarily.

As a result, Tiebiguan was unprepared for Liu Ting's attack until the banner of the Ming army that read "Yunnan Yidong guerrilla general in charge of Tengchong's defense affairs" surged to the pass, and the Longchuan army in Tiebiguan Only then did I realize that the divine soldiers had descended from the sky.

With all their souls scattered, there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping over the wall in the iron wall. Some people rushed to inform Nan Xie, some hurriedly reinforced the gates of the pass, some hurriedly deployed soldiers to go up the tower to prepare for the battle, and some people were even more unbearable. , has already begun to secretly prepare to flee.

At three o'clock in Shenshi, Liu Ting, sweating profusely but full of energy, stood proudly fifty feet below the iron wall, looked at the iron wall closed coldly, and ordered: "call three hundred Japanese barbarians Ding Xiandeng, I will personally lead the [-] family members to consolidate the city and open the city gate."

Perhaps it was because Liu Ting often took the lead in battle, but none of the generals under his command, Jia Ding, came forward to stop him, the leader of the army, from taking personal risks. Instead, they all clasped their fists and promised loudly, as if they were waiting for this moment.

Liu Ting glanced around at the generals and servants, nodded in satisfaction, and added: "Don't take it easy—I'm sweating like you now, so after an hour, I'm going to be in Iron Wall Pass. Shower and change clothes!"

The generals shouted: "Don't worry, You Rong, one hour is enough!"

A group of servants even shouted loudly: "Young commander, how much is left in an hour, just wait, the little one will even boil the bath water for you!"

With this shout, someone ridiculed: "Burning the bath water is no great contribution, Chu Dahammer, why don't you think about it, and catch a few more beautiful female relatives of the rebel generals to help the young marshal take a bath!"

"Yes, yes, this is much more interesting than less bath water, young commander, don't you think so? Uh... Missy, little one, the little one has a cheap mouth, and the little one slaps his own mouth..."

Liu Xin snorted coldly, glanced at Liu Chen, and said, "Brother, I didn't say anything."

Liu Ting waved his hands and laughed dryly: "I didn't say anything..." Then he immediately glared at the booing servants, and sternly said: "If I let Lao Tzu see you cheating and cheating later, I will punish you one by one. The moon is not allowed to take a bath! Get out, get out and get ready!"

Everyone laughed and dispersed.
