The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 29 Deep Cultivation in Fuling County ([-])

September 20th in the 257th year of Yanxi in the Shu Han Dynasty ([-] AD).The Taishou Mansion of Fuling County sent troops to attack Tanjiabao in the Wuxi barbarians.

The army of more than 1000 people climbed through the mountains for seven days and arrived at the foot of the mountain where Qinjiabao is located.

The people in Qinjiabao felt guilty when they saw the huge formation of the Han army.So he sent someone to plead guilty.As a result, the conditions given by Guan Yi made the other party not in the mood to bargain at all.

"It's still the same sentence. All [-] people in Qinjiabao moved out of Qinjiashan and lived in the place designated by me. Oh, by the way, I should add that they live separately. How to divide them is up to me. "

"Han people, don't be too reckless. If you have the ability, take down my Qinjiabao and come back and say such things to us."

"That's what I plan to do."

"Hmph! Then I'll wait for you on the mountain. Don't cry if you can't make it up the mountain."

"Hehehe, did I tell you to leave just like that? Come on! Cut off both of this guy's ears for me. It is to get some interest for the humiliated envoy back then."

Hearing the screams of the envoy outside the tent, Huang Chong frowned: "Zifeng, didn't you boost the other party's morale by doing this?"

Before Guan Yi answered, Guan Suo and Yang Zong jumped up at the same time. After they looked at each other, Yang Zong raised his hand: "You are old, you should talk first."

"You are not much younger than me." Glancing at Yang Zong, Guan Suo said to Huang Chong: "Shang Shulang, Zifeng did the right thing. Barbarians are all afraid of power and not virtuous. Since everyone If you want to fight, then give the other party a ruthless scare first. As long as the war goes well, these barbarians will surrender obediently. Wen Ping (Yan Yu) did it all."

"Hua Guansuo's words are very true. Shang Shulang, if we put the emissary back in such a complete way, these barbarians will despise us - fight as hard as you can, it's okay if you can't beat us. Anyway, the Han people will not do anything to us. There are also quite a few Wuxi Man in Badong County, whether it's Bo Miao (Deng Zhi) or Deyan (Zong Yu), they've all done the same thing these years."

After listening to Guan Suo and Yang Zong, two generals who have long been dealing with ethnic minorities, Huang Chong was not pretentious, and stood up calmly and said, "I have been taught."

Seeing the toughness of the Shu Han military officers against foreigners and Huang Chong's calmness, Guan Yi felt a little emotional.

"Zifeng, Zifeng!"

"Ah? Oh, what's the matter with Third Uncle?"

"What should we do next? Everyone is waiting for your eunuch to give orders."

"Well, Uncle Yong is the general who is going on this expedition. Ah, well, I have to test the school, right? In this way, I will go out to the camp first to see how the terrain is."

In fact, the terrain is very simple.In the Wuling Mountains, almost all the Wuxi Manzhai villages are set up in the same way: on a mountain that is higher than the surrounding mountains, the entire village is built against the mountain.Starting from the mountainside, set up cards layer by layer.There is only one checkpoint for the weak stockade, with wood for the gate and fence for the wall.There are two to three checkpoints with stronger strength, the gate can be wrapped with iron sheet, and the fence can also be used to hit the base.

But to attack this stockade, of course, attack from the foot of the mountain.

"How about it, Zifeng, is there a way to break the stronghold?" Guan Suo looked at his nephew expectantly.

"Well, if you want to break this stronghold, you have to attack it head-on for three to five days. If you can't break the stronghold, you need to cultivate for two or three days, and then attack it head-on for a day or two. Afterwards, send out surprise soldiers to climb up the rock from the back of the mountain to break it. Err , why are you all looking at me like this?"

Guan Suo rubbed Guan Yi's head very happily: "Very good, this is the standard method of attacking the cottage. First use the main army to attract the enemy's attention, and after the rest, just attack the main entrance, just to let the enemy relax their vigilance , and then use surprise soldiers to steal the way back. Break it!"

Liao Yong also praised: "Although the prefect has never been on the battlefield, the strategy he came up with is similar to that of the veteran."

Yang Zong looked at Guan Yi jokingly and said, "That's right. But I'll test you again. If I want to take this village with zero casualties, what should I do?"

"Well, it's nothing more than sitting at the foot of the mountain, cutting off its water source, and destroying the grain fields at the foot of the mountain. Killing by thirst or starvation. However, it doesn't make much sense to kill by thirst in the local area. Because there is a lot of rain in the local area, we have to treat the other party. It is almost impossible to run out of water sources. So we can only expect the other side to run out of food. However, it is said that Qinjiabao specializes in looting other barbarian villages. It is estimated that there is a lot of food in the fort. It may take a long time to starve to death. I Fuling County is already poor and weak, and the time has dragged on, and the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, the method of starvation is not feasible."

"Familiar with geography, that's pretty good. Well, I'll ask Liao to worry about the next thing. I'm following the general's order, and I'll take action only when your army is beaten by the barbarians on the mountain, haha Hahahaha, Guan Weizhi, did you bring wine from Nanzhong? Let's have a drink together."

"Hmph! How could we be defeated by the barbarians on the mountain? Don't cry when we don't have a chance to win the battle! Uncle Yong, Zhang Zun asks to be the first team!"

As an old man who has participated in the Northern Expedition since the time of Zhuge Liang, although he only has 500 people in his hands, Liao Yong's training of these 500 people has always been in accordance with the standards of the strongest mobile corps in the Shu Han.From taking office in February to mid-September, more than seven months, these former hodgepodge of soldiers from Fuling County and generals from various families have already looked a bit elite.

The composition of the Shu Han army is relatively complicated. In terms of ethnic composition, there are Han people, Badi people, Qiang people, Nanzhong barbarians, Yi people (1), Wuxi barbarians, and Jin people.In terms of arms, tiger infantry and tiger cavalry are considered regular infantry and cavalry. In addition, there are mountain infantry such as Wudang Flying Army and death-defying assault troops such as assault generals.According to different corps and different wars, the ethnic composition of the Shu Han army and the proportion of arms are constantly changing.But no matter how it changes, there is one unit that accounts for a huge proportion of the Shu Han army: crossbowmen.To be precise, they are Zhuge Liannu soldiers.

It was also the first time for Guan Yi to see this kind of legendary ancient machine gun. Following Liao Yong's order, fifty crossbowmen stood up, and then Guan Yi saw that the fifty crossbowmen held their crossbows with their left hands and held their crossbows with their right hands. Constantly flipping the profile.Pull it once, and a crossbow bolt will fly out, pull it again, and another crossbow bolt will fly out...

"One, two, three...nine, ten. Can you shoot ten arrows in a row?!"

"Change!"

Amid Liao Yong's roar, the empty first row of crossbowmen in the crossbow gate retreated to the back, and the second round of crossbowmen continued to fire.In an instant, another five hundred crossbow bolts rose into the sky.

"Using this kind of firepower to suppress in such a narrow place... hiss..."

It's not that the Qinjiabao people on the opponent's checkpoint don't want to fight back, but once they show their heads, they often get hit by arrows: Zhuge Liannu doesn't pursue the hit rate of a single crossbowman, but pursues a large-scale indiscriminate coverage.Although 20 crossbow bolts are fired at a time, only [-] people or even a few people are hit, but this kind of coverage of crossbow bolts that hides the sky and the sun is definitely a huge blow to the enemy's psychology.

Because of the suppressed firepower of the own crossbowmen, the defender was unable to make an effective defense.Zhang Zun led the follow-up troops gradually approaching the gate of the enemy's fortress.

"Tiger infantry, attack!"

"Huh~~~"

Zhang Zunhu, who inherited Zhang Fei's loud voice, roared, and a hundred infantrymen in heavy armor, shields in their left hands, and guns in their right speeded up their pace and began to charge.

"Hey, guns and shields are held together, and he is wearing heavy armor. Is this the hardcover version of the Spartan spearman?"

"Zifeng, this is the tiger infantry army that my big man fought against the puppet Wei Hubao on the Guanzhong Plain." At some point, Guan Suo had already stood behind Guan Yi.

"Uh, Uncle San, what do you mean, my big man's infantry will fight against the enemy's cavalry with flesh and blood?"

"There is no way. My Han Dynasty is close to Xiqiang. There is no shortage of horses or cavalry. But we can't afford too many horses. Therefore, the total number of tiger cavalry troops in the five major armies of the Han Dynasty has never exceeded [-]. More At that time, we could only rely on the tiger infantry to fight against the puppet Wei cavalry."

"But, isn't the life of a soldier the most precious thing? I am a big man with a small population, and I trade human lives for horse lives... This..."

"So it's really difficult for the prime minister and the general, but I still have a 3000-man chariot soldier, which is prepared to fight against the puppet Wei's cavalry. The chariot soldier is only available in the mobile army of the general. Today you are I can’t see it anymore. Well, look carefully at the front, the battering ram has already gone up.”

Following Guan Suo's guidance, Guan Yi saw that at the top of the front line, a battering ram covered with thick cowhide had been quickly pushed to the gate of the village by dozens of strong men.As the battering ram was drawn in and out, after a few efforts, the membrane was broken...

"Ah? Is this the end?"

"Yes, this is the end." Guan Suo smiled slightly: "Liao Yong is a veteran who has followed the prime minister and the general for more than [-] years in the Northern Expedition. The troops he trained will not be much worse than the mobile corps. My big man is the most How many days does it really take for an elite army to attack a small barbarian village? Chi Nuer, you remember, the reason why our Han army has repeatedly defeated the strong with the weak is the most precious wealth accumulated since the prime minister's time. This group of excellent grassroots officers who came down!"

　Yi and Yi: Before the founding of New China, the ethnic minorities living in the Liangshan Mountains of today's Sichuan Province did not have official names.They are mostly called Southwest Yi or Yi.After the dynasty was established, representatives of the Yi nationality went to Beijing to appeal to Taizu, saying that the name of the tribe was discriminatory.After thinking about it, Taizu said: Then change the name to the Yi nationality.Yi, with a house on it, and rice and silk in the middle.Represents a good harvest.Everyone happily accepted.Therefore, today's Yi nationality was named by Taizu himself.

　　Yi is also the name of the main character in this book.Now the protagonist's thinking has begun to slowly change, and finally Guan Yi will disappear, leaving only Guan Yi.Judges, please be patient for now.
