Tomorrow was the day to give Jia Lian a real reply. Yan Hu and Black Panther traveled all night and night to come back from Ping'an Prefecture.
Based on the intelligence collected by the two of them, several people gathered around the miniature mountain model of Black Wind Valley and started a military meeting.
Jia Qiang organized her thoughts and fell into deep thought.
According to the original trajectory of the world of Red Mansions, the water in Ping'an Prefecture was extremely deep, and was even the real reason why the Rongguo Mansion ransacked the houses.
The two times Jia Lian went to Ping'an Prefecture to handle confidential matters, he was received by the Ping'an Jiedushi. The Ping'an Jiedushi is the top military and political leader, and the existence of a feudal official?!
Sister Feng even participated in the lawsuit at Shuiyue Temple, and asked someone to write a letter to Chang'an Jiedu Envoy under the pretense of Jia Lian's instructions, and the matter was properly handled. It can be seen that Jia She's energy can be seen even if he only holds a title.
Bandits are rampant in Ping'an Prefecture. Xue Pan, the idiot king, encountered bandits in Ping'an Prefecture and was rescued by Liu Xianglian.
The key point is that Ping'an Prefecture is only one day away from the capital. It can be seen that behind the prosperity of Daqian, it is like a donkey dung egg with a smooth surface but a mess inside.
Black Wind Valley is a grand canyon that is more than 60 miles long. The bottom of the valley is like a winding python. The rock walls on both sides are vertically steep and towering into the clouds. If you want to avoid Black Wind Valley and take a detour, you will need to go a long way. Nearly ten days' journey.
The White Lotus Sect began in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty. Legend has it that it was founded by Mao Ziyuan, a monk in Wu County. He once joined forces with Taizu of Daqian to fight against the Yuan Dynasty and drove the Mongol emperor back to his hometown. However, Kublai Khan left behind a wealth of national treasures... …
In the beginning, the White Lotus Sect taught people how to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, take refuge in the three refuges and the five precepts, not to kill, not to steal, not to be evil, not to lie, and not to drink alcohol. Today, it has changed beyond recognition.
Liu Heitai, the leader of the bandits, took advantage of the natural dangers to guard the chokepoint. The culvert was filled with gunpowder, kerosene, round stones and rolling logs, including various military supplies for bows and crossbows.
It is even more illegal to enter through the narrow path on the ridge. The mountain is steep and dangerous, let alone a forceful attack, even if there is no one to stop it, it will be extremely dangerous."
…
The key is that the firegun fires not bullets, but stones and iron particles mixed with gunpowder. It is very easy to explode, killing a thousand people and injuring eight hundred people.
Jia Qiang recalled the distant Anti-Japanese War. The industrial base was extremely backward, but even bunkers could be blown up, so how could they not blow up culverts?
It has to be said that Liu Heitai is really a talented person who is sitting in a dangerous position and making money in a long and narrow way.
Those believers did all kinds of deeds that were harmful to nature and caused countless families to lose their lives.
The bandits control the traffic fortresses like the government, making money every day, but they are in good order.
Jia Qiang looked at the model sand table with deep eyes and frowned.
"A few things are certain. Due to the terrain, large numbers of people will not work..."
Ping'an Jiedushi sent troops several times to encircle and suppress them, but they lost their troops and generals and returned without success."
The power of artillery in this era was extremely limited, and the Franco machine artillery, also known as the red (barbarian) artillery, had not yet been introduced to Daqian.
Another way to enter is to lift the sling thrown out from the culvert vertically directly from the valley bottom.
It is absolutely impossible to attack with cold weapons.
How can one allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
"No wonder thousands of troops and horses cannot penetrate the Black Wind Valley like this."
This Liu Heita is very smart. He only collects tolls and rarely kills people. He only robs big households and does not even harass ordinary people. The government has a huge headache with Black Wind Valley. They can't hit him. If he is allowed to sit there, it is like a stick in his throat or a awn. On the back."
On the rock wall more than thirty feet high from the bottom of the valley, it is like opening a huge beast's mouth. In the belly of the beast's mouth is a natural culvert. There are two school martial arts fields inside, which can accommodate five to six hundred bandits. Only two people can enter the cave.
road.
The culvert hanging alone in mid-air is not without its shortcomings. Once the siege supplies are cut off, it will be defeated without a fight.
It is said that King Wu Jiang Ke, relying on his status as a prince, escorted a group of royal silks and satins from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to forcefully pass through the Black Wind Valley without paying tolls. He even killed bandits at the toll booth at the bottom of the valley, causing Liu Heitai to become furious.
.
The siege by thousands of officers and soldiers consumed a huge amount of resources, and in the end they had to withdraw in humiliation.
Later, when Liu Heitai appeared, he wiped out the bandits in one fell swoop. The family was the only one in the family, but he did not just fish in the lake, and he was extremely smart.
This guy actually collects tolls at the exact price just like the government. As long as you give money, no one's life will be hurt!
…
Xie Jing's Zhenwei Battalion mobilized its entire army, and when they arrived at Black Wind Valley, they found that it was like a tiger trying to devour the sky and had no way of attacking. Thousands of officers and soldiers were dead and they could not capture it.
Rumor has it that the quarrel between Taizu and the White Lotus Sect may have something to do with the treasure left by the legendary Kublai Khan.
"It is said that the bandit leader Liu Heitao is a remnant of the White Lotus Sect. He secretly colluded with the Ping'an Prefecture government by taking advantage of the dangerous and dangerous roads."
Moreover, the valley floor can only accommodate a few hundred people, and if there are more people, they will restrict each other.
Speaking of this, Yan Hu even looked envious, "This guy is like a government official. He actually built a toll booth at the bottom of the valley and blatantly collected the toll money from traveling merchants. He even didn't let go of tributes from the court..."
Yan Hu frowned and continued, "Secondly, the encirclement is extremely difficult. It is said that the grain reserves in the culvert are enough to consume for more than half a year.
The bandit army in the culvert is equipped with first-class weapons and equipment, and they are within shooting range of each other. The bandits are condescending, and the natural culvert serves as a bunker, just like a bunker, and they can only be beaten.
“Originally, this canyon was lined with hills and there were very few merchants coming and going.
Jia Qiang and the others started to watch the sand table deduction, "It's no wonder no one wants to touch this hot potato. It's really hard to fight. How do you think we can conquer the Black Wind Valley?"
Speaking of this, Black Panther smiled casually and said, "What really made the Battle of Black Wind Valley famous was that they didn't even spare the royal tribute.
"A round stone has no power on the ground, just like turning a round stone on a thousand-foot mountain, it has no power..."
The first is to enter along the plank road on the ridge that can only accommodate two people. The bandits only need to ambush a few crossbowmen in the culvert. It can be said that no flies can fly in. It can be said that one man can block the barrier and ten thousand people can't get through it.
Jia Rong was shocked when he heard this. Is the legendary White Lotus Sect true?
Even if there were red cannons, it would be extremely difficult to transport them in winding canyons instead of on plains and open areas. What's more, the Franchise cannon had not yet been born at this time.
As for a strong attack, even with a crossbow, the vertical height is more than thirty feet. Not to mention very few people can shoot almost that high. In addition, due to the angle of elevation, even if it can be done, it will hardly work.
Yan Hu chuckled and said, "Besides, if you detonate explosives, you won't be able to escape?!"
…
Suddenly, kerosene, explosives, and boulders and rolling logs poured down, and the valley floor instantly turned into a hell on earth. Hundreds of escorts and elite guards were wiped out, and even a princess died.
The key point is that people at the bottom of the valley are all living targets, and there is no way to hide as rocks and firewood roll down.
As for gunpowder, Daqian’s Shenji Camp has it?!
Gunpowder first originated from alchemists during the Warring States Period. It did not achieve a reasonable ratio. It can be said that you woke up early and rushed to the evening party. Gunpowder was more used in fireworks and firecrackers, indulging in the weird camouflage.
Liu Heitao's battle shocked the government and the public, and his reputation became so great that bandits from surrounding areas defected to him. He used the Black Wind Valley as a stronghold and quickly radiated to the surrounding areas. Many Orion people and even officers and soldiers in Ping'an Prefecture have become bandits. It is said that at present, his subordinates are actually Thousands of people.
During the Anti-Yuan Dynasty, the power of the White Lotus Sect was extremely prosperous. It was not until Taizu conquered the world and issued an edict to suppress and disband it that it went underground.
Unexpectedly, Liu Heitai's fellow was well prepared and had abundant food reserves in the cave. Even during the siege, he colluded with the outside world to replenish a batch of supplies and equipment.
Ordinary people were charged two grand for passing by, while merchants were charged 10 to 20 percent for passing by, based on the estimated value. Strangely, there were more and more merchants coming and going. After all, a ten-day detour would cost more.
"Tsk... your idea is like a mouse having a meeting, how can it not be harassed by a cat?
…
"If our people can infiltrate into the culvert..." Mastiff Wolf rolled his eyes and smiled mischievously, "This culvert is like a munitions depot, and it was directly detonated. Wouldn't it be a disaster?"
The so-called magic gun of the Shenji Camp is a fire blunderbuss. It is very accurate at a distance of ten feet, let alone thirty feet. Moreover, loading ammunition is very troublesome, and it can only fire two or three shots per minute.
A clever mouse said that as long as a bell is hung around the cat's neck, the sound of the bell means that the cat is coming. The question is who can hang a bell around the cat's neck?"
The Holy Emperor was furious when he heard this and ordered the guerrilla general Xie Jing to destroy the Black Wind Valley.
"The remnants of the White Lotus Sect?!"
This is much more difficult than attacking a city. It's no wonder that even ten thousand people can't attack it.
Until the current Daqian period, the ratio of black powder was not optimal, and its power was extremely limited.
The "black powder" with real practical value is the French cannon introduced from the Portuguese in the late Ming Dynasty, which also brought the most powerful black powder ratio.
But, as an instructor, Jia Qiang knows the best ratio?!
With the powerful black gunpowder, wouldn’t it be a great killer weapon in the cold weapon era?
"I am a modern warfare instructor, but I can't deal with a few bandits?!"
Jia Qiang held the charcoal pen and started to write and draw. Then she flicked the charcoal pen and said, "We need to take over what Zhenwei Camp is really lacking! Conquer the Black Wind Valley, become famous in one battle, and completely establish a foothold in the capital!"
Such a Black Wind Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the reader traveled through it, how would he get down? ()
