Chapter 158 Dugu leads the troops (Part 2) [Unlocked]
Zhou Jilong was shocked: "Commander, that's not what you said just now in front of two envoys."
Dugu tilted his neck and said, "Is there one? Why don't I remember it? That's it. Find someone quickly. Damn it, we are about to enter Lizhou. No matter what, we have to make people prepare first.
"
Zhou Jilong rolled his eyes, why did the boss still behave like this after he became the commander-in-chief? However, he did not dare to disobey the order, and immediately waved over a soldier: "Song Zhong, take a brother and rush to Lizhou immediately and tell him
Boss Shadan, do you understand what the commander just said? If you mess up this matter, I will skin you!"
"Yes! General!" Song Zhong said with a military salute, then immediately took a soldier and left in a hurry.
"Song Zhong? That's a good name. I hope we don't go to send Sha Dan Song off this time. Well, this guy is our brother from the village." Dugu said with a smile.
Zhou Jilong nodded: "Yes. We had 10,000 brothers who came out of the village back then, but now there are only more than 400 left. But none of the brothers are cowards, and even if they die, they will not embarrass us!"
"
"My subordinates, Dugu Yuming, must have this kind of strength! Even if the knife is placed on their necks, their eyelids cannot blink. Take good care of these old brothers. After the lord conquers the world, I will give them to him at the place where he used to be a stronghold.
They carved a monument to commemorate it, so that future generations will know that although we are bandits, we are still strong-willed men, and we still have not insulted our identity as people of the Celestial Dynasty." Dugu said proudly, holding his head high, while the surrounding people
The soldiers were all moved, and even Zhou Jilong's eyes became a little wet.
"Damn it, you look like a pustule! How did I teach you that men don't shed tears when they bleed!" When Dugu saw Zhou Jilong's appearance, he immediately whipped him with a horsewhip. Zhou Jilong, on the other hand, stood up straight as if he was conditioned.
, received a whipping happily.
After a moment of silence, Dugu continued: "Brothers, please pay attention. All fire starters and tung oil will be distributed immediately. If anything goes wrong, I will immediately set fire to the mountain."
Zhou Jilong said with enlightenment: "Commander, you mean, is it really possible for them to help the Golden Flower Dynasty stop us?"
"Hey, with the thinking of these arrogant ethnic minority barbarians, nothing is impossible. This bastard might really collude with the Golden Flower Dynasty to stand on his own. I sent people to pass the message just to test his bottom line.
What, damn it, if this guy Song Zhong doesn’t come back tomorrow, immediately contact the army of blood commanders at the back and pull out this nail here first. Otherwise, when we get to Jingzhou, what will happen to these bastards at the back?
If we are playing tricks, then our situation will be dangerous. I want the five ethnic groups in southern Yunnan to understand now that we in Hetao are not those pustule officials of the imperial court. If I are angered, at most all southern Yunnan will be burned with a fire.
.”
When Zhou Jilong heard this, he immediately said with a greedy face: "Brother, if that's really the case, then let me set the first fire. But in this way, wouldn't the situation of the Keshui Tribe become more dangerous?"
Dugu said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? The Keshui tribe has a population of millions. As long as they squeeze together, they can form an army of 100,000. In addition, they are familiar with the terrain and have lived here for hundreds of years.
It’s not something that the Golden Flower Army can defeat in a short period of time. Besides, each of these bastards is more cunning than the last. If they weren’t broken, how could they sincerely surrender to us? As for the Golden Flower Dynasty, we
We have never fought against each other, so we don’t know the depth of the opponent’s combat power. It would be best if we can let the Keshui Tribe compete with them. Alas, we have high hopes for Shadan, but this guy can
Don’t let me down."
So, with Dugu's insistence, ten thousand soldiers broke into Lizhou without ceremony, and then headed south along the highway. On the grounds of military operations, no matter what kind of vehicles were along the way, they were
When the army arrives, it must first get out of the way. Dugu himself does not carry much food, so before there is any reply from Shadan, Dugu has already asked the local government in the area he passes for the food and grass needed for the army's march.
After listening to Song Zhong's briefing about Dugu's need to embody the grace of the Celestial Dynasty and appear murderous, Sha Dan and the Shan tribal chiefs also realized that the newly arrived commander-in-chief of Hetao was not someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, Dugu was quite famous when he was Luocao in Yizhou, so Shadan and others had no choice but to turn a blind eye. Although he had rebellious intentions, Dugu's words had already made it obvious.
If he is trying to shirk responsibility, then he is colluding with the Golden Flower Dynasty. Sha Dan still knows a little about the Celestial Dynasty. If you are treasonous and self-reliant, if the court is incompetent, he can also acquiesce. But if he colludes with the surrounding foreign races in an honest way,
, then he will inevitably become the enemy of the entire China. Although Shadan no longer has any respect for the imperial court, Qingfeng's current princes still have some strength. At least not now that he can compete head-on. So Shadan has to swallow his anger.
I endured it.
What Shadan didn't expect was that after Dugu's 10,000 soldiers, less than a day later, another group of about 10,000 soldiers marched directly into Lizhou. This army was bigger than
Dugu was even more rude. He barged in directly without even a notification. However, the tempers of the two armies seemed to be exactly the same. However, this army was more tough. Not only did Shadan
Provide them with the food and grass they need along the way, and also ask Shadan to help organize the transportation of logistics supplies for the people.
After all, Sha Dan was the leader of the Shan clan. After learning about the other party's request, he became furious. However, at this time, the spies sent out to inquire about the news finally came back. It is said that after these 10,000 soldiers, about
Three days away, there were 80,000 equally tough Hetao elites. Shadan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Although Shadan was arrogant, he was not arrogant enough to sit in a well and watch the sky. The Hetao army was fighting against Kashimba of the Three Northeastern Countries.
When the elite army led by Si fought against Hukou, the combat effectiveness and the quality of the generals they displayed were simply not comparable to that of the Qingfeng court. At least Shadan did not think that his tribal army could compete head-on with the opponent.
The 10,000 soldiers who passed through were first-class in terms of morale and equipment, even compared to Song Junlin's White-Ear Army. What's more, both armies seemed to be holding back their breath.
The murderous aura emanating from the team is enough to make any recruit who has never been on the battlefield feel scared. If you offend such an army, the consequences will be really worrying. It seems that if you can't bear it anymore, then it is indeed right to endure it again. Thinking of it
Here, Shadan couldn't help but sigh secretly with joy.
Although the Shan people in Lizhou were furious, they still cooperated with him honestly in the end. Dugu, who was still provocative at first, was embarrassed to say anything. Of course, he would never stop eating what he should eat.
He would never leave behind the food he took. After a five-day march, his 10,000 soldiers finally arrived at Nanping County, Jingzhou, where the Keshui people live.
The five ethnic groups in southern Yunnan are mainly distributed in Jingzhou, Cuizhou and Lizhou in the south of Diannan Road. Jingzhou is the settlement place of Jingzhou and Keshui people. The Keshui people are located relatively to the south, right between the Jinhua Dynasty and the Jingzhou people.
Junction. When the Qingfeng Empire was strong, because their settlement was in an area with frequent border trade, the Keshui tribe benefited a lot from it. However, in this war era, they were the first to suffer.
The Jinhua Dynasty did not choose the South Yunnan Road as the target of breakthrough at first. After all, in their view, the total strength of the Jinhua Dynasty and Mitsukoshi was as high as 700,000, and the number of troops that could be dispatched was 400,000. The Qingfeng army on the north bank of the Xijiang River was only
There are only two hundred thousand. On top of Xijiang's thousand-mile defense line, they really have too many breakthrough points to choose from. Although the geographical environment of South Yunnan Road is not much different from that of Jinhua Mitsukoshi area, if Jinhua wants to go north to South Yunnan,
First of all, we have to climb over the Nanling Mountains, which has undulating hills and broken ground. Moreover, the total strength of the five ethnic groups in southern Yunnan is 300,000. Although Sha Dan and the Jinhua Dynasty have long colluded, that is limited to the Hope Jin Dynasty.
Hua can support his independence. If the Jinhua army really hits his doorstep, Shadan will definitely turn his back. On South Yunnan Road, the five major ethnic minorities are familiar with the terrain after all. Although Pu Zhicheng fully trusts his ability, he also
Not willing to get involved easily. After all, Jinhua has now provoked the sick tiger Qingfeng. Before Qingfeng collapses, there is really no need to provoke these local snakes in southern Yunnan.
However, after his own Jinhua Mitsukoshi allied forces repeatedly encountered obstacles on the Xijiang defense line, Park Zhicheng had to revise his plan. Ouyang Jingzhong followed Tie Zhen for most of his life and was able to survive among thousands of comrades. He was naturally outstanding.
.The Southern Army Corps that has been stationed at the Xijiang Defense Line for a long time is all composed of children from the Dahu Road. As a border defense army that has been in a state of war for a long time, their combat effectiveness is unquestionable. And the unlimited trust in their coach Ouyang Jingzhong is also to a large extent.
Improved their combat effectiveness. The most important thing is that the local troops stationed on the Xijiang defense line are all local people. They are not like Song Junlin's White Ear Army. If they cannot be defeated, they will at most flee. If they are defeated, then their homeland
It is inevitable that they will not be spared. After the fall of Youyun Sixteen Provinces and the offensive and defensive battle of Jiangzhou, no one in Qingfeng dared to trust the character of the surrounding foreigners. Therefore, the troops stationed in most areas of Qingfeng were useless troops, but in Qingfeng
The local garrison on the Xijiang defense line on Dahu Road was actually as effective as the border defense corps. Under the command of Ouyang Jingzhong and Liu Bi's navy, even if Pu Zhicheng personally took action, he could not get any benefits.
