Start a Ming Dynasty plane

"My son, take care all the way."

On the second watch at midnight, Zhang Xianzhong saw Li Dingguo off. Li Dingguo took the 1 men selected by his team to venture into Mangdangkou. His behavior was worthy of Zhang Xianzhong's encouragement, so Zhang Xianzhong, who was worried about the war before dawn and couldn't sleep, stared at him. With a pair of red eyes to send Li Dingguo off.

At this moment, Li Dingguo looked at Zhang Xianzhong and clasped his fists and said, "Father, don't worry, the child will break through Mangdangkou, enter Lantian, attack back and forth with our army, and capture Tongqian Pass."

Zhang Xianzhong nodded after hearing this and said, "I wish my son the best of luck."

"I wish you all the best of luck."

Zhang Xianzhong raised the bowl of wine in his hand and shouted to the soldiers behind Li Dingguo, then drank the wine in one breath and smashed the bowl with a bang.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo also raised the wine bowl and drank the wine, smashed the wine bowl and shouted: "Let's go."

After speaking, the army behind Li Dingguo rushed out. This time Li Dingguo was going to surprise Mangdangkou, so although [-] troops set off, [-] infantry were delayed, and the main force was [-] cavalry.

Li Dingguo's plan is for two thousand cavalry to take advantage of their own advantages and rush to Mangdangkou for hundreds of miles, take down Mangdangkou with lightning speed, and then the eight thousand infantry behind them arrive, let them set up a foothold in Mangdangkou, and immediately Followed by Mangdangkou as the base, disaster to Lantian County.

To achieve the military purpose of this dispatch, it can be said that Li Dingguo's plan is still very good. If he succeeds, Lantian will be very difficult. After all, with Li Dingguo's strength of 2000 people, if they enter Lantian, they will burn, kill and loot. To catch him, it is necessary to double or even several times the number of troops.

It's a pity that Lan Tian saw through the plan who let him have Lan Tian's spies by his side.

It was still dark and before Dongfang Yubai came out, Li Dingguo's cavalry had already arrived near Mangdangkou. At this time, Li Dingguo's lieutenant Wang Jiadong came back with scouts and said, "Report to the commander, the place two miles ahead is Mangdangkou. .”

After hearing this, Li Dingguo asked, "Are there any guards ahead?"

Wang Jiadong said: "Yes, Mangdangkou is guarded by a hundred militiamen from Lantian because there are often refugees coming in and out."

"militia?"

Li Dingguo frowned slightly, and Wang Jiadong said, "It's Xiangyong from Lantian."

Li Dingguo nodded and said: "One hundred Xiangyongs, let me know. Everyone wraps the hoofs of the horses in cloth, takes off all the horse bells, and extinguishes the torches. Come and follow me to lurk into Mangdangkou. Kill these hundred Xiangyongs and grab them. Dangdang mouth."

"Here, Dingguo, you are the coach, so let me do this kind of risky thing."

After Wang Jiadong heard this, he said to Li Dingguo. After hearing this, Li Dingguo said: "Your martial arts are not as good as mine. You come to command the army. I will bring the elite over there. Don't rob me."

"Ah, Dingguo, this..."

After hearing this, Li Dingguo raised his hand and said: "No need to say more, just listen to me, come on, the first team will follow me, everyone put down their long weapons, carry single swords and shields, and follow me."

After saying this, Li Dingguo gathered the first team of one hundred elites. These are the elites among the elites. There are two paths for those who perform the most bravely in each battle. One is to be promoted to be a centurion, and the other is to choose today first team.

The first team is also known as Li Dingguo's personal guards. They are very powerful and they are all veterans who have survived many battles.

At this time, after listening to Li Dingguo's words, one by one skillfully handed over the horses to the people around them, and then picked up their own shields and single-handedly. This is not the first time this set of equipment has been used. The people in the city will stare at the shield, bite the sword and go up the city wall to fight the enemy, so everyone here has the merit of being the first to ascend, and they are all brave enough.

Li Dingguo stared at a hundred people, holding a single sword and shield, gave up the horse and waved: "Go."

After speaking, he rushed towards Mangdangkou like a hundred ghosts. At this time, Wang Jiadong took Li Dingguo's horse and waved: "Everyone dismount, and lead the horses to Mangdangkou to meet Dingguo."

Li Dingguo led his people straight to Mangdangkou, and saw a huge canyon mouth in the distance from a long distance. There are cliffs on both sides of the canyon mouth. It is possible to climb up alone, but it is absolutely impossible for a large group of people to go up. , It's really a natural barrier.

Fighting a war is not about fighting against individuals. It doesn’t mean that you can do light work. You can climb cliffs, because the physical fitness of many soldiers is that of ordinary people. It is impossible to climb such a steep cliff, and it is impossible to get through such a steep cliff.

Horses can’t pass, but you can pass alone in a war. That’s not attacking, that’s assassination. You can be an assassin, but you can’t be an army, let alone cause much damage.

Therefore, facing such terrain, it is a desperate situation for the generals and soldiers of this era. If you want to attack, you can only enter from the valley entrance. This is why Sichuan is so difficult to attack.

If we send a team of special forces to attack the Shu Road in modern times, then the Shu Road is really not difficult. The cliffs are steep, the special forces have hooks and locks, and they are very skilled, so it is not difficult to climb with bare hands.

If the grain and grass cannot be transported there, then there is no need to carry a pack of compressed biscuits with you to ensure that you will not die of hunger within a few days, and you can still maintain your combat effectiveness. Therefore, the road to Shu is difficult, and special forces cannot be difficult. This is not even talking about unconventional combat methods such as airdrops. .

Of course, this is only a small-scale battle, and it will take a little effort to fight on a large scale. Of course, for modern troops, the combat environment is just more complicated.

But for people of this era, that is an insurmountable gap.

"General, Mangdangkou is in front of you. Look at Lantian's sentry post there."

Sure enough, Li Dingguo and others saw the straw thatched hut with lights on at the mouth of the canyon. Li Dingguo looked at the straw hut, and from the window paper of the straw hut, he could see a person standing there, and the shadow of the light shone on the slender figure of that person.

"General, wait here for a moment, I'll take someone to have a look and catch your tongue."

At this time a strong man said to Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo heard this and said: "Be careful."

The strong man nodded and said, "Don't worry, general, the second and third child will follow me."

Speaking of that, the strong man led two equally strong men, and walked towards the thatched house. When they reached the door of the straw house, the strong man waved his hand. The two men stood on both sides of the door of the straw house, holding swords and shields, ready to attack .

When the big brother's strong man put the shield at the front, he inserted a knife along the crack of the door. He was about to pick the door bolt open, but when the knife went in and picked it up, it didn't pick anything, and the door was unlocked.

The eldest brother was sweating coldly on his forehead. At this moment, he looked at the two strong men, and immediately saw the eldest brother nodding. The eldest brother took the shield, and the two strong men stretched out their hands to push the door, and followed the eldest brother to put the shield on his head. On the ground, rushing in without a word, like a crazy bison.

When the strong man rushed in, the two strong men behind him were also ready to rush in, ready to cover the elder brother, but when he went in, he saw the elder brother looked at the scarecrow in front of him in a daze.

"scarecrow?"

The brawny men were stunned, and then they saw an oil lamp beside the scarecrow. The light from the oil lamp cast the shadow of the scarecrow on the window, which was the person they saw.

The three strong men all looked confused, and one of them said: "What's the situation, why is there no one?"

"Yeah, what are you doing with a scarecrow here in the middle of the night, to scare the birds?"

The two strong men looked at the boss in puzzlement, and suddenly one of the strong men said, "Oh, boss, we won't be ambushed, will we?"

After hearing this, the old man said, "It shouldn't be, if there is an ambush, shouldn't a bunch of people rush out at this time and chop us into minced meat?"

The two strong men agreed when they heard the words. At this time, the boss looked at the burnt oil lamps, then at the scarecrow and said, "Do you think it's possible that these Xiangyongs from Lantian are here to go home and sleep if they think it's troublesome?" Well, set up a scarecrow just to frighten people."

After hearing this, the two strong men blinked and said: "Then this oil lamp will be left empty overnight, what a waste of money."

"Hey, you're so petty, aren't you? This is the site of Lantian. Where is Lantian? It's a fairyland on earth. It's so rich. I've heard people say that people in Lantian can eat mixed noodles every now and then. gone."

"Zamian Momo, my God, life is so good?"

"What is this? Let me tell you about the life of Li Chaosheng, Lantian County Venerable, do you know?"

"What day is it?"

"Let me tell you, I heard people say that there are two oil pans in front of Lantian County Zun, and they are boiling every day."

"What are you doing, blowing up people?"

"What, you think Li Chaosheng is the Eight Great Kings, those two frying pans are just waiting for Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng wants to eat deep-fried dough sticks and deep-fried cakes, that boy is like a god. "

"Go, you two are endless. You are the Lantian County Zun just like you. Those who fry cakes every day can have a fart."

"Brother, what do you think the Lantian County Venerable eats?"

"If you want me to tell you, he eats... Go, go, why am I telling you this, you think we are hanging out here, go, go back and report the situation to the general, let the general make a decision."

After hearing this, the two strong men nodded, followed by three people and slowly exited the straw house.

"no one?"

Li Dingguo frowned, he had envisioned many possibilities, but he really didn't think about it, at this moment Li Dingguo frowned, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes, how could there be no one?

"No matter what, there should be no one left."

Li Dingguo thought about it, his eyes looked at the sky in the distance, and his belly gradually turned pale. Li Dingguo gritted his teeth and said, "Fight for it, wealth and wealth come from danger, we can't afford it."

Li Dingguo hypnotized himself and hoped that it was true as the three people said, that Xiangyong thought it was troublesome and went home to sleep, but this possibility is very low, but Li Dingguo decided to take a gamble, and sometimes he gambled again in a war, and the bet won , the banker takes all, if you lose the bet, don't blame others, you can only blame yourself.

Li Dingguo thought about pulling out his shield and single-handedly saying: "Let's go, charge with me."

As they spoke, the group walked towards the mouth of the canyon, and the 100 people naturally divided into two groups to cover Li Dingguo's left and right sides. At this time, Li Dingguo was holding a single sword in his hand and a shield in one hand, and rushed straight towards the canyon.

At this time, someone above the canyon whispered: "This group of stupid people dare to bet on it, and General Ma's empty city plan will not work."

Hearing this, one of them laughed and said, "General Ma is not Zhuge Liang, and these rogues don't look like Sima Yi either. It must be difficult to handle. These rogues are used to taking risks, so they can't be frightened."

The two people here were talking, and a voice that looked more immature said: "Brothers, who is Sima Yi who is the empty city plan you are talking about?"

After hearing this, the person who spoke before said: "You have been in the army for a short time, and you do not read much. When you are free from training, you can go to the barracks library and read those books with illustrations and pinyin. There is a book called "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". There is this story."

"Oh, thank you, the two elder brothers for pointing me out."

"It's okay, don't talk, they're getting closer, shh."

Speaking of everyone lurking, at this time Li Dingguo came to the mouth of the canyon, looked around, and saw that everything was silent, and his heart was already disturbed, but taking risks is the nature of rogues, and they don't even rush to take risks, so what kind of rogues are they.

Of course, until now, Li Dingguo didn't think it was the Lantian regular army guarding here, at most it was Lantian Xiangyong who was in ambush. If Lantian Xiangyong, veterans like them, if they don't care about the cost, they may not be able to open this vast mouth. .

Li Dingguo dared to take risks because he felt that he still had the possibility of victory.

Li Dingguo looked at the left and right with lightning eyes and said: "Everyone, be careful, maybe there will be a fierce battle in a while."

After hearing this, everyone said: "Don't worry, general, this is not the first time this has happened."

After hearing this, Li Dingguo said: "Okay, if you win Mangdangkou today, you will all be the first."

After speaking, Li Dingguo said: "Shield formation, enter."

The shield formation is Li Dingguo's housekeeping skill, and it is also a common formation method for attacking the city. It is a group of people holding shields and blocking them above their heads. It is airtight and can block the arrows shot down from the sky, because the shields they use are mixed with Iron plates, so their shields can also block musket bullets.

This kind of canyon is most afraid of ambush archers, and the shield formation can restrain this. This is also the reason why Li Dingguo dared to rush into the canyon and attack the vast mouth, because he is confident that the shield formation can defend against air strikes.

And in such a narrow canyon mouth, if the opponent wants to fight them, they can only fight one-on-one, and Li Dingguo is still very confident in his fighting power.

After many years of fighting in the South and the North, Li Dingguo has almost never failed. Why do you say almost, because he met that man not long ago.

"Into the canyon."

Li Dingguo yelled again, followed him in first, and the rest of them immediately followed, holding their shields high, and skillfully had a slope, this slope was to prevent the enemy from throwing rolling stones, Li Dingguo was in the first place , he is a sharp knife that can pierce anyone who stands in his way.

"Quick."

Li Dingguo urged, but at the narrowest part of the canyon, where only one person could pass through, he saw a man standing there like an iron tower. Li Dingguo saw that man's eyes shrinking suddenly, why was it him.

And the man raised his stick at Li Dingguo at this time and said: "Li Dingguo, a certain family has been waiting for you here for a long time."
