Chapter 280 The Sword Points at Japan (4) Eighth-Road Suppression
The military meeting was convened, and Song Liangzuo invited all the generals in one by one, saying: "Since the rebellion, the emperor has been ardently expecting the cabinet, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of War to plan strategies. So far, the army has finally gathered, the fierce generals have gathered together, the pay and equipment are complete, and the morale is like a rainbow.
, the day when the Yang family in Bozhou will be defeated is not far away.
Yang Yinglong's crimes are so heinous that the Holy Emperor is furious with thunder. He sternly orders that the rebels must be eradicated! Everyone, although it is winter, the task of suppressing the rebellion cannot be delayed any longer. We need to study the tactics carefully so that we can conquer the entire Bozhou area in one fell swoop in the first month of next year.
Liu Wei, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, knows Yang Ni very well, and because he has fought against barbarians in Shu and Gui for many years, he is familiar with the tactics of the Bozhou army. Today, I have asked Commander-in-Chief Liu to explain it to the generals, so that everyone will know what he is doing."
Ma Lin said: "The organized army is here to command. I think Yang Yinglong's time is running out. As for the Bozhou Army's tactics, Liu Zongrong has just briefly explained to us. Not long ago, the Nine-Border Army was discussing the Eastern Expedition against Japanese Pirates.
There is a saying when it comes to experience and lessons, it is believed that increasing the number of troops step by step will make the war difficult.
Nowadays, Bozhou's quelling the rebellion is not like that. Instead, large armies gather together and advance in different directions, making them attacked on all sides. It will be difficult for Bozhou to take care of both. Calculating Bozhou's military strength is equivalent to that of Japanese pirates, although their tactics are different, in the end they are just the same.
They are just wild soldiers in the mountains and forests. As long as they are used carefully, there should be no serious problems."
Deng Zilong reminded from the side: "The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there are risks everywhere. Bozhou is home to seedlings, and many unimaginable things have happened in the past. It is better not to underestimate the enemy and rush in. Besides, the Yang family of Bozhou has been operating here for hundreds of years, and the land is a good advantage."
It is enough to withstand a million-strong army, and any carelessness will cause heavy losses."
Dong Yiyuan said: "Occupying a favorable geographical location also requires proper planning and the use of soldiers' lives, so that the favorable geographical location can be turned into a sharp weapon. I heard from General Liu before that the Bozhou Army's fighting spirit has declined, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced compared to the past.
The generals in Bozhou are nothing more than barbarians. Compared to Yang's ancestors, Yang Yinglong is only more ferocious and cunning. When it comes to using troops, he is far inferior to his ancestors. Please make military plans before deploying military plans. We will act according to the plan.
That’s it.”
Song Liangzuo saw that all the military leaders gave him face, and knew that one of them must be the Nanning Marquis. He felt very grateful, so he ordered all the troops to return to camp and prepare for the war.
In fact, by this time, it can be seen that although Gao Pragmatic's earlier ideas have not changed, there have been some adjustments to the details, or to put it bluntly, some changes have been made to the other groups except Liu Wei's department.
strengthen.
For example, Ma Lin, Deng Zilong, Dong Yiyuan, etc. are either from famous families in Jiubian or veteran generals. When they come to Bozhou, they will obviously bring their own elites. This means that since the last defeat in Guizhou, Gao Pragmatic
I felt that the other encirclement networks might not be enough, so I simply strengthened all the armies and used hard power to crush the so-called Bonshu elite because of the dangerous location.
This is in line with the characteristics of high-pragmatic military management: we do not seek the genius command of famous generals on the battlefield, but seek to use the powerful strength after the successful reform to "strengthen the stronghold and fight dull wars" and crush them with overwhelming and irreversible advantages.
opponent.
Do you expect me to duel with your snipers? No, I will blast out with a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher and even take down your position! Why do later generations of great powers often talk about forming generational advantages and asymmetric advantages when fighting? Because our national strength lies in
Here, there is no need to chat with you, wouldn't it be nice to just run over?
On the other side, Yang Yinglong learned that the Ming army was gathering and announced to Bozhou: "The war is about to break out, and Bozhou is on the verge of life and death. If the Ming army attacks Bozhou, everything you have now will be in vain! Your land
They will be expropriated, their wives and daughters will be made slaves, and all the men will have their heads removed!
I, Yang Yinglong, swore to heaven to ensure the safety of Bozhou. If the Yang family is in Bozhou, there will be no corpse left when a powerful enemy invades. In this way, I will live up to the spirit of the Yang family's ancestors in heaven!
The key to military force is to strike first. Bozhou needs to maintain a strong offensive, control the fighter planes, and influence all the Ming armies to divide and encircle them. Our army will attack Longquan Division first, with Yang Zhu as the general - Yang Zhu, can you capture Longquan for me?"
Yang Zhu proudly swore: "Don't worry, my master, the sword in Yang Zhu's hand has long been thirsty for blood. Longquan is not a problem. I only need three thousand warriors to annihilate the Longquan defenders!"
Yang Yinglong praised loudly, and then said: "Okay! However, the Ming army has arrived, and you only bring three thousand soldiers. If you meet the reinforcements of the Ming army, won't you be attacked from both sides? This time to capture Longquan, I, Bozhou, will send 50,000 troops. One will strengthen the momentum, and the other two will be attacked."
To prevent enemy reinforcements, we need to keep the two provinces of Guizhou and Shu under the awe of our Bozhou power. Only in this way can we be sure to benefit us in the decisive battle with the Ming army."
Yang Chaodong asked when the troops would be sent out, and Yang Yinglong immediately ordered him to do a witchcraft and pray to the sky. After choosing the time, the Miao witch did what he did, and the celestial phenomena suddenly changed, with strong winds rising suddenly, heavy rain pouring, and then the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, and the sky was clear.
Thousands of miles.
Everyone was amazed, but they didn’t know that this was just because the Miao shamans in the mountains had lived in the area for a long time and their understanding of weather changes was far better than ordinary people. Otherwise, why would they have to choose the "auspicious day and auspicious time" first?
When Miao Wu saw that his "practice" was a great success, he whispered a few words into Yinglong's ear. Yang Yinglong was refreshed, raised his arms and shouted: "The gods in the sky indicate that the first month will be auspicious, and the victory will be won! The dark clouds are approaching, and the fierce wind is coming.
There will be a bloody battle in the rain, and after the bloody battle, Bozhou will enjoy eternal peace! Children of Bozhou, good luck for thousands of years!"
Superstition was also a kind of belief at this time, and belief can always give people strength, so the entire Bozhou army was excited and their morale was high. Yang Yinglong himself was also very excited, looking forward to an early decisive battle between the Bozhou army and the Ming army to establish his power as a king.
In the first month of the first month, Yang Yinglong indeed sent 50,000 troops, divided into five groups. Yang Zhu, Yang Chaodong, Yang Zhaolong, He Hanliang, and He Tingyu each led 10,000 troops. The five groups of armies would attack Longquan.
Yang Weizhong defended Longquan with only 2,000 troops, which was obviously invincible. Therefore, Yang Weizhong wanted to set up an ambush first and then make some calculations, so he led his troops out of the city and set up an ambush.
Yang Zhu arrived first, and Yang Weizhong came out with all his ambush troops and attacked from all sides. Yang Zhu ordered his troops to divide into two wings to meet the enemy. Although Yang Weizhong's plan was successful, it was a pity that the combat power of his troops was far lower than that of Bozhou, and they were killed and dispersed in a short time. Yang Weizhong saw the situation.
Unfortunately, we had to abandon the defense of Longquan Division and fled to Sinan Parrot Creek.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yang Zhu chased to Longquan and found that there was still a local official An Minzhi who led 500 infantry to defend him. Yang Zhu laughed at An Minzhi for using his arms as a chariot and overestimating his own capabilities. Although An Minzhi was a local official
, but also angrily criticized the Yang family for causing trouble in Bozhou and disturbing the southwest.
Yang Zhu was furious and launched a fierce attack on the Longquan Division. Due to the twenty-fold difference in strength, the Bozhou Army seemed unstoppable and died in a heroic battle to calm the people. Liu Yuluan, the official of the Longquan Division, sent a letter to the Ming Army for help, and then personally defended Daku.
After the treasury door was cast and sealed, the Bozhou army rushed into Longquan and forced Liu Yuluan to open the treasury door. Liu Yuluan refused and died together with his wife under the sword of Bozhou soldiers.
When Chen Liang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Lu Ming Army, received Longquan's request for help, he knew that Bozhou had sent 50,000 elite troops and did not dare to fight alone. He excused himself from guarding the partial bridge and was unable to rescue Longquan.
Coincidentally, at this time, Zhou Guozhu, the general in charge, led his troops to detour to stop the attack. Shizhu's Xuanfu envoy, Ma Qiancheng, was coming with 3,000 white pole soldiers. His wife, Qin Liangyu, also led 500 elite soldiers and accompanied them with food.
He Hanliang's army was the weakest of the five routes in Bozhou, so Ma Qiancheng advised Zhou Guozhu to lead troops to block this route. If he defeated, he could also send troops to Bozhou and mobilize the remaining four rebels to come back for reinforcements. Qin Liangyu seconded the proposal. So Ma Qiancheng and Zhou Guozhu
He Hanliang's troops of Bozhou Army were killed in Dengkan.
Zhou Guozhu was worried because the enemy was outnumbered and it was difficult to defeat the enemy in front of him. Ma Qiancheng offered a plan: "The enemy's army will be arrogant and arrogant. Please invite the general to hold a banquet tonight. The enemy will think that our army is lax and will probably attack rashly."
I am willing to lead my troops with Jian Nei Liangyu to block the enemy with a strong wall, and the general can lead the heavenly troops to cover his retreat. If the enemy's front is defeated, chaos will occur in the middle of the night. If we continue to cover up with all our strength, we will win a complete victory."
Zhou Guozhu was deeply moved when he saw that he volunteered to take on the most dangerous task. He even praised Ma Qiancheng as a loyal and good man, so he acted according to his plan.
In this way, Zhou Guozhu held a banquet at Xu that night. Smoke and fog rose in the military camp, and the aroma of the meat cooked spread for miles. Seeing that the Ming army was so lax, He Hanliang couldn't help laughing, and said to his men: "It seems
As expected, these generals and officers are all robbers. Under such a situation, they don’t want to stand up and fight back, but they still hold a leisurely banquet. It is really unforgivable that they will not die at my hands today. With such generals, how can the Ming army be undefeated?
"
So He Hanliang ordered his troops to change their equipment and advance in stealth. They took advantage of the night banquet of the officers and soldiers to cover up the attack at night. Unexpectedly, they were attacked by Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu's white-pole soldiers who were in danger.
He Hanliang was greatly surprised, but even though the surprise attack was exposed, he did not panic and immediately ordered a fierce attack. At this time, Ma Qiancheng had already ordered people to set up more traps and secretly ambush bows and crossbows. Since the night was deep, an ambush was far better than an open battle.
, the Bozhou Army's attack was unfavorable and there were many casualties.
At this time, Zhou Guozhu had also led his troops to bypass the rear and attack suddenly. The Ming army, which had been strengthened with firearms before, obviously had a different style of fighting at night. For a while, they could only hear the sound of cannons and gunfire, and the Bozhou army
Before the Ming army could even come face to face, the front line collapsed. When the central and rear armies saw how powerful the Ming army's firepower was, no one wanted to die without even seeing the enemy, so they immediately retreated.
He Hanliang was furious and killed more than ten defeated soldiers. He had just stopped the rout, but unexpectedly, the Ming army counterattacked across the board. Some of the fronts even set fire to chase the enemy. The scene was chaotic and dangerous.
He Hanliang saw that something was not going well, and he did not dare to stay in such a chaotic battle situation anymore, so he hurriedly retreated with his cronies. Needless to say, this retreat caused He Hanliang's troops to be in chaos and retreated all the way to Bozhou.
Don't get lost and separated.
Because the Ming army carried some No. 3 and No. 4 cannons, although they were relatively light, they were still unable to catch up in the dense forests of the old mountains. Fortunately, the white-poled soldiers under Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu were also good at fighting in the mountains and dense forests. The couple did not hesitate to fight.
He worked hard and was not afraid of danger. He led the troops to pursue the enemy and defeated seven villages including Jinzhu, Qinggangzui and Hutiaoguan.
At the same time, Ran Yulong, the envoy of Xuanfu in Youyang, avoided the troops of Bozhou's five routes and went straight to Sangmuguan. The Bozhou garrison at Sangmuguan was caught off guard and rushed to fight. Ran Yulong was defeated and beheaded three hundred people.
The Bozhou Army had just captured Longquan and was preparing to move to Wuzhou. Suddenly, they heard that He Hanliang's troops had been defeated and the Ming army had invaded Bozhou. Yang Yinglong was shocked and ordered all parties to retreat. The Ming army knew that the main force of the Bozhou Army was coming to rescue them, so they each
After evacuating, Yang Zhu and other four soldiers plundered the 27 villages and returned.
In February, Song Liangzuo formally deployed the strategy to attack Bozhou, with 240,000 troops divided into eight groups. Each group was divided into 30,000 troops, but there were strong and weak. Most of them were three officers and seven chieftains.
It was divided into four groups with the Sichuan generals as the main ones: General Liu Wei and Ma Lin went out of Qijiang, supplemented by General Ma Zhen, Zhang Wenyao who participated in politics and supervised the army; General Ma Kongying came out of Nanchuan, supplemented by General Zhou Guozhu, and Ran Yulong, the Xuanfu envoy of Youyang
, Ma Qiancheng, the Shizhu Xuanfu envoy, and Xu Zhongjia, the Qianshi, supervised the army; General Wu Guang left Hejiang, supplemented by guerrilla Xu Shiwei, and counselor Liu Yixiang supervised the army; General Cao Xibin was controlled by Wu Guang and left Yongning, assisted by General Wu Wenjie, and Xuanfu
To make extravagant achievements in the world, he consulted Shi Jingxian and supervised the army.
The generals of Guizhou were divided into three groups: the general Tong Yuanzhen, the local magistrate Longcheng, and the local magistrate Cenlin left Wujiang; the general Zhu Heling was controlled by Tongyuan Town and left Shaxi, supplemented by the Xuanfu envoy An Jiangchen; the general soldiers
Li Yingxiang came out of Xinglong, assisted by Xuanfu envoy Peng Yuanrui, counselor Zhang Cunyi, and inspection envoy Yang Yinqiu to supervise the army; Huguang soldiers divided Heyi Road into two wings, and the chief soldiers Deng Zilong, Dong Yiyuan, and Peng Yangzheng came out of Baini; the deputy chief soldier Chen Liang was controlled by Deng Zilong.
Longquan was assisted by Shan Yi, the Xuanfu envoy, and Hu Guifang, the deputy envoy, to consult with the Wei Yang and Meng supervisory armies.
Then Song Liangzuo ordered the governor of Guizhou to be stationed in Guiyang, the governor of Pianyuan to be stationed in Yuanzhou, and he was still stationed in Chongqing - this was actually just that he left his station in Chengdu and stayed in Chongqing, while the other two did not actually move.
Song Liangzuo said in the final military meeting: "The territory of Bozhou is thousands of miles wide, between Sichuan, Lake, and Guizhou. The mountains in the northwest are the pass, and the river in the southeast is the pond. It leads to Huangping, Caotang and Pingdu, Zhen, Bo, and Bai.
Ni, Yuqing, Chongshan, Rong'an Liuzhang Guansi, Tongtian, Zhang, Yuan, Lu, Tan, Luo and Wu are the places with seven surnames.
Most of Yang Yinglong's rebels were formed by gathering seedlings and expanding their forces, and their main force did not account for the majority. Yang Yinglong himself was mediocre in talent and lost the support of the people. It would be difficult for him to reproduce the bravery of his Yang ancestors. Although there were dangers everywhere in Bozhou, he wanted to
It would be impossible to hold on to them one by one.
Therefore, the headquarters predicts that it will guard the elites at Loushanguan and Longyantun, the two most important places. The troops in Longyantun can also wait for opportunities to support the rebels on all sides. Although the other places are guarded by Zhumiao, the troops from all directions are also in danger.
Don't underestimate the enemy, otherwise you will be in danger of annihilation.
I have previously ordered all generals to learn how to deal with the seedlings. I hope you will be cautious. Liu Wei, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, is deeply jealous of Bozhou, so he is placed in the first position to frighten the enemy. You can take a shortcut to the enemy chieftain's location and draw the enemy's full strength.
To block the attack and facilitate the march of all armies, the armies of all armies met at Loushanguan.
In addition, the headquarters reminded the generals that after the battle before arriving at Loushanguan, any requests to surrender should be accepted immediately and dismissed on the spot. This is not an act of connivance. In fact, these are mostly Miao people who are not of the same mind as Yang Yinglong.
, they are just beguiled by interests, they can be defeated, there is no need to kill them.
After entering Loushanguan, there is no chance of surrender. The enemy's deceit cannot be trusted. We can only fight quickly to destroy the rebels and capture and kill Yang Yinglong!"
After the military meeting, Song Liangzuo held a civil and military conference in Chongqing and took the oath on the altar. On February 12, the Ming army separated and marched.
Yang Yinglong also summoned the generals to deploy defense: "According to intelligence reports, Song Liangzuo divided his troops into nine groups and attacked Bozhou from Qijiang, Nanchuan, Hejiang, Yongning, Wujiang, Shaxi, Xinglong, Baini, and Longquan respectively.
Among them, the best fighters are Liu Wei and Ma Lin from Qijiang Road, followed by Deng Zilong and Dong Yiyuan from the Baini direction, and the third is Ma Kongying from Nanchuan. The weakest are Chen Liang from Longquan and Wujiang.
Tongyuan Town Department.
Pass my order: Yang Chaodong led 30,000 Miao soldiers to meet the enemy in separate ways, first intercepting Liu Wei's troops from advancing towards Loushanguan; in the direction of Wujiang River, he indulged Tong Yuanzhen's troops, and ordered Yang Zhaolong to wait for an opportunity to send out surprise troops to counterattack Wujiang, to lure the enemy to return reinforcements, and falsely claimed that
In the west of the water, set up an ambush and break the bridge to severely damage the department!
He Tingyu was ordered to lead an army of 30,000 troops to attack Longquan and defeat Chen Liang's troops. Then the two armies joined together and provided guerrilla support to all parties, mainly attacking the troops of Ma Kongying and Deng Zilong. The remaining generals ordered the Miao tribes in various places to defend according to the danger and block the attack at every level.
Everyone, let me say it again, the key to this battle lies along the Qijiang River. As long as the march of Liu Wei’s troops can be delayed and the remaining eight armies defeat the other four, then their offensive will be broken and we, Bozhou, will win a great victory!"
