Chapter 853: The Mud

The Zhongzhen Camp army followed 50,000 Burmese soldiers and 20,000 mine-protecting troops into the southern Tibet mountainous area. They were secretly ordered by the Grand Commander to sweep southern Tibet. Li Dingguo's heart was as bright as a mirror. Is it necessary to pursue Li Zicheng to suppress the 120,000 troops?

With such a big fanfare, the war in the north of the Frontier has begun, and this new army that is still capable of fighting will not go to the north of the Frontier, but will instead go west to the south of Tibet, where the big and small chieftains are everywhere. The purpose is obvious.

As a surrendered general, Li Dingguo had a very high awareness and knew that he was the sword of the Grand Commander and the prince's minion.

After entering the mountainous area of ​​southern Tibet, the Zhongzhen Camp army caught up with its former teammates. Li Dingguo realized that this minion was not so easy to do, and he had to rush to do it. It was about to dawn, and a team of light cavalry rushed away in the mountains and forests.

Following a few war elephants, the soldiers of Zhongzhen Camp who were burying pots and making rice along the way dodged on both sides of the road, cursed, and rode horses at the army stationed to seek death?

"Southern Barbarians, bandits!"

"Are you seeking death?"

Amid the curses, Li Dingguo had no choice but to send his personal soldiers to send orders to the Zhongzhen Camp to give up the road and not block others' paths. The Burmese Light Cavalry, who were all very thin, was actually freely traveling between the mountains and forests, which also opened Li Dingguo's eyes.

In front of the Zhongzhen Camp was the Burmese Army. Li Dingguo carefully observed the Burmese soldiers in front of him. The weapons were mainly rattan cards, Burmese swords and short spears. This was the standard equipment for Burmese soldiers to fight in mountainous areas.

The wide-blade Burmese sword is very distinct from the narrow and long Ming sword. It is completely different. The 50,000 Burmese troops were trained according to the Ming army system. However, officers at all levels are all children of Han people, some are descendants of Han people in Myanmar, and some are

They were Liao soldiers, some of them were children of the Qin family in Sichuan, and they firmly controlled the Burmese army.

In the camp, the map is spread out.

The map of southern Tibet drawn by the Ministry of War is very detailed, but it was drawn during the Wanli period. During the Wanli period, 200,000 troops went south to quell the rebellion. The vanguard went deep into southern Tibet and drew a detailed map. There were many mountains in southern Tibet, and the races of large and small were raised together.

There is only one word to describe, chaos!

In the camp, Li Dingguo and the staff officer Yang Hong discussed in a low voice and divided the troops.

Yang Hong, the chief staff officer of Zhongzhen Camp, is a very rigid person. He is taciturn, but one advantage is his loyalty and never compromises the implementation of the military order of the Grand Governor. After Yang Hong pondered for a moment, he slightly pointed on the map, and Li Dingguo felt bitter.

He grinned, and it turned out that Lord Yang was indeed carrying the secret order of the Grand Governor. Go southwest and then climb the mountain. Go southwest and there is nothing else, it’s all mountains.

When Yang Hong saw him, he looked bitter and frowned and explained, "We are going southwest along the way, otherwise why would we recruit so many Sichuan soldiers?"

Li Dingguo was right when he thought about it. Will the children of Sichuan still be afraid of climbing mountains? After a moment of pondering, they divided the troops on the spot. Yang Hong was in charge of the camp and contacted the military supplies. He personally led the light cavalry and the pack horses to distribute 20,000 troops to cross the mountains and ridges, and sweep the southwest.

Looking at the map of southern Tibet drawn by the Ministry of War, there was a large blank enclave in the southwest, Li Dingguo felt a little respectful and expected that this southwest, which the Ming people had never reached before, was outside the territory.

But he didn't know that the place in later generations was called India, and now it is still a complex mountainous area where multiple ethnic groups live together. The back team, the Ming army's Zhongzhen Camp, quietly divided the troops, carried a large amount of supplies, crossed mountains and ridges, and led the southwest. The front team

However, under the command of the Qin family, the Burmese soldiers intentionally or unintentionally cooperated with Li Zicheng's troops to launch a full-line attack on the eighteen chieftains. The head coach was the contemporary Duke of Mu, Mu Tianbo, who was only twenty years old, and the deputy commander Qin Bangyi, two

People are less than forty years old in total.

Frontline, Jinchuan, big and small.

Li Zicheng's troops, who received the supplies, were unscrupulous and plundered the troops. In just three days and nights, they captured all the food, use, and run away in Jinchuan, a radius of 300 miles. More than 20,000 people in Li's troops may not be able to fight.

It is best to rob a family and robbery. No matter how you bury the food in the tunnel and hide it in the mountains, you can't escape the eyes of the soldiers of Li's army like eagles and falcons. When you were born, you were a bandit in Shaanxi, and your nose was more agile than a dog.

On the hillside, Li Zicheng's face was as deep as water. He looked at the Jinchuan in the high place, with layers of dense stone fortresses, and figures flashed in the fortress.

Beside him, Li Guo's expression was quite strange and whispered: "King, this group of Ming troops is really strange. If you don't come to attack us, you will go to the south to attack the village."

Li Zicheng was also confused and full of questions. He gave supplies to the armies and helped fight. What exactly did this group of Ming troops do? Do you want to recruit people? He has come to this point. Li Zicheng is eager to recruit people, so he ordered Li Guo to do it after a moment of thinking.

After sending someone to contact Ming Jun, he expressed his attitude, it would be great to recruit Anhui!

Half a day later, two messengers sent to contact the Ming army were cut off by the officers and soldiers and rushed back.

Within an hour later, the dense sound of guns sounded. The officers and soldiers were impatient and pressed on the platoons, which scared Li Zicheng to hurry up and escaped. Li Zicheng was not stupid either, he was so smart, Jinchuan.

The layers of fortresses, the stone walls are so easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the officers and soldiers are in a hurry behind them. I won’t fight anymore. I will rush around and grab everything on the left and right, and it’s not bad for the little food in Jinchuan Village.

It's right.

As for the silver women today, they are like rabbits chased by officers and soldiers, and they are no longer caring about it.

In the afternoon, 20,000 soldiers from Li's army gathered together and formed a team, and they walked around the Jinchuan Village and fled.

Later, Qin Bang, who received the military newspaper, jumped up loyally and cursed: "This group of bandits cannot support the mud, and they cannot even capture two villages!"

The Qin family members in the camp were in an uproar, ridiculed and ridiculed. The bandits were bandits, and their nature was hard to change. Mu Tianbo, who was only twenty years old, opened his mouth and smiled. Li Zicheng ran away and came, but he was not going to attack the city.

The intention of the Grand Governor was that Li Zicheng was to take this cruelty and killing him indiscriminately, which would be enough.

Mu Tianbo also learned from Taiwan's military studies and fought in Liaodong. He bowed to the direction of the Central Plains. His admiration for the Grand Governor was aroused by his heart. The Grand Governor, the prince's overall plan, Gao Ming

Oh, no matter what our Great Great Heavenly soldiers did in the southwest, they all came to the bandit Li Zicheng, so that those scholars who were well-read in poetry and books could still leave a name for themselves in later generations and history books.

Who did the chieftains of the Eighteen Family in southern Tibet? Li Zicheng, is it impossible for our emperor's soldiers to do these things that are worse than beasts?

In the evening, in front of Jinchuan Village, less than half an hour after the bandits, the black Burmese army occupied the camp and pressed up. Even the military camps built by cutting down trees and bamboo were ready-made, which was easy to save trouble. Jinchuan Village

In the middle, the rice wine celebrated by the toasts of all sizes had not yet been held up, and the urgency of gongs and drums sounded again. Tens of thousands of men, women, young and old in the two villages put down the rice wine, grabbed swords, guns, bows and arrows, and ran back to guard the village with a sad face. (To be continued)
