Chapter 570 The Battle of Lanping (1)
After a night of fierce battle, the imperial army and the Zhongmiao coalition forces temporarily repelled the Nanmiao and Annan troops. The Nanmiao army was completely scattered soldiers and brave. After being suppressed by Hua Ji'an with local cannons and muskets, they fled like a stray dog.
The situation of Annan's army was much better, and Annan's army was also an elite army. Although they did not have advanced weapons from the court army, they temporarily retreated to the east of Guanyue Mountain after the attack was frustrated, so that they could attack and retreat or defend.
As the commander-in-chief of this war, Liu Yu stayed in the big village of Zhongmiao and did not go to the front line in person. That night, Liu Liniang, as the leader of Zhongmiao, led her tribe members to fight on the front line. The enemy directly against Zhongmiao was the remnants of Nanmiao, which had just been dispersed by the imperial army. Therefore, Zhongmiao did not suffer much damage that night, but won the victory to boost morale.
When Liu Liniang came back in the morning, Liu Yu sat on the bench in front of the spread out military map, resting his head on his knees, looking absent-minded and drowsy.
"General..." Liu Liniang came in with two followers and called out.
Liu Yu raised his head slightly, with no joy or sorrow, and just asked, "Are you back?"
Liu Liniang could feel the coldness of Liu Yu's attitude and saluted in the form of a soldier: "General, aren't you worried about the war outside?"
"I'm just a commander. I've formulated the tactics properly. The rest is the general outside who will do things according to the actual situation... Hey, who asked you to sit next to me?"
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he turned his head and found that Liu Liniang was already sitting side by side on his bench.
Liu Liniang smiled and said, "The general is still angry with Liniang?"
Liu Liniang said this, as if Liu Yu was stingy. Liu Yu looked at the direction of the entrance of the earthen building and said, "Liniang devoted herself to the tribe and was worthy of praise. The war is important at the moment, and I am afraid that no one will have time to be angry with anyone."
Liu Liniang was so passionate about her cold butt. She stood up and said, "Then when there is time, the general will be angry with Liniang again. Now that the war is in a hurry, I still hope that the general can defend these tribe members who need your protection, so don't be angry."
Liu Yu smiled helplessly. Liu Liniang was reminding him not to take revenge on his own. Thinking of this, Liu Yu also thought about it in his mind. When will he have a "revenge" with Liu Liniang?
Liu Yu was about to talk to Liu Liniang about the next step of the war, but Liu Liniang had already left with her entourage.
Liu Yu suddenly felt very depressed. Liu Liniang would always give him all kinds of psychological discomforts. Even if he showed his face in front of Liu Liniang, others would not give him a chance.
After the victory of the night battle, the court army also entered a temporary rest and did not pursue the victory. The main reason was that the court army did not understand the terrain of Guanyue Mountain in Lanping, and Liu Yu did not want to fight a battle that he was unsure of.
The imperial army was divided into two armies. Zhang Wuzhu's army was pressing forward, pointing directly at the Annan army in Guanyue Mountain, while Huo Bing and Hua Ji'an were transferred back by Liu Yu. The main reason was that Liu Yu was afraid that Huo Bing would be frivolous and plunged into it before Gao Qing was clear. In places where he was unfamiliar with his place, the coalition forces of Annan and Nanmiao would easily use the terrain to ambush, and even if there were new weapons, it would be useless.
Liu Yu came out of the soil, and Huo Bing was bringing a person back to transport grain, which was also Liu Yu's arrangement. The imperial army fought for the Zhongmiao war, so the supply of food and grass naturally had to be provided by Zhongmiao. Liu Liniang also mobilized the people of Zhongmiao to collect grain, and a group of people had already gathered in the morning.
Liu Yu came out and saw that the people of Zhongmiao remained far away from the imperial army because they had too deep resentment, so the ethnic conflict could not be resolved for the time being.
"The general came out to see it?"
Seeing Liu Yu come out, Liu Liniang came up with a smile. This time it was Liu Yu's turn to show her face.
"You give me the detailed map around Lanping and need to arrange tactics." Liu Yu said, and before leaving, Liu Yu reminded again. "I don't want to be stabbed in the back of your tribe."
Liu Liniang was also helpless in her attitude towards Liu Yu. It seemed that the two of them had changed from last night's passionate love period to the Cold War period. Now they are fighting side by side, but they seem to have no common language.
When Liu Yu got the military map, he summoned Huo Bing, Hua Ji'an and several generals in the army. He held a pre-war mobilization meeting in the temporary marching tent. Liu Liniang finally took the initiative to participate, but Liu Yu did not refuse and asked her to stand by and listen with a few middle-aged people.
Liu Yu's strategy this time did not follow common sense. After specifying some marching routes, Liu Yu specifically stated that he should first check whether the terrain conforms to the map and then take further military operations.
"General Liu, what do you mean? Don't you believe the map we Miao people gave you?" Liu Liniang asked righteously.
Liu Yu said in a bad tone: "If you marching and fighting, you must be cautious. If there is any deviation in the map that leads to the defeat of the battle, I would like to ask, will you Miao people be responsible?"
Several men behind Liu Liniang immediately retorted: "So what if you are responsible?"
Liu Liniang quickly stopped further protests from her tribe members. Now she felt that it might be her actions that made Liu Yu angry. Now the future fate of Zhongmiao has been completely entrusted to the court army. It is easy to ask the gods to send the gods to the gods. It is not that Liu Liniang said that Liu Yu would leave with the army, and the court army would leave.
If the court army wanted to occupy Lanping by force, the Zhongmiao people would have no choice.
After the meeting ended, Liu Liniang stayed alone and said she wanted to ask about Liu Yu some of the deployment situation. In fact, she also wanted to resolve the conflict with Liu Yu.
"Twelve Young Master, why are you such a stingy person? Isn't it possible to apologize to you when Li Niang offends you?"
"Apologize?" Liu Yu sneered, "Then we have to talk about how to apologize."
Liu Yu was like a hungry wolf, gradually approaching Liu Liniang, who was like a sheep, and finally suddenly pressed her down on the table of the military conference. Liu Yu was preparing to be more domineering and asked for the most "application method".
Originally, Liu Yu believed that whether Liu Liniang was interested in him or just pretending to be a false alarm, she would obey this time. Who knew that Liu Liniang would still push him away and warn him with a very stern look.
Liu Yu felt anger in his heart, and was extinguished by a basin of cold water from Liu Liniang. He said helplessly: "This is how you apologize. How can you be sincere?"
"Twelve Young Master, I can agree to you anything else, but this matter... won't work." Liu Liniang said with a rare look of twisted expression on her face.
“Why?”
"Yesterday, I admitted that you are my man in front of my tribe, and I will not regret it. But according to the rules of our Miao people... some things must be reasonable and legal. After this war, I must give the tribe a reasonable explanation... Otherwise, I really want to be burned to death by fire as Nong Duo said. Will the Twelve Young Masters hope to see this result?"
Liu Yu thought about these words for a moment and couldn't understand them for a moment.
After Liu Liniang left, Liu Yu thought again, what explanation would Liu Liniang want to explain to the tribe members? Could it be because Nong Duo talked about her finding a wild man?
Liu Yu is not very concerned about Liu Liniang's emotional past, just like when lovers insist on tangling each other's past, it will cause a lot of unhappiness. Although Liu Yu is a man, he is quite enlightened in this matter, especially for Liu Liniang, a woman who has been wandering in the world and fame and fortune for many years.
Liu Yu could accept the charming and charming Liu Liniang. Now Liu Yu looked as if he was clean and scrupulous, and Liu Yu couldn't accept it.
Liu Yu seemed to chase after him and ask what it meant, but he thought that asking questions would definitely be boring.
Liu Liniang didn't get into a relationship, so Liu Yu went to find Duolin, the good girl. Sure enough, Duolin was not as unattainable to him as Liu Liniang. Since Duolin learned that Liu Yu's identity was not simple, she became a bit awe of Liu Yu. Liu Yu also took the opportunity to let her know that she was just an ordinary person with flesh and blood.
After a while, I came to convey the information from the front line. It was the information sent by Zhang Wuzhu.
Zhang Wuzhu's troops had already suppressed the Annan army in Dongyue Mountain, because Dongyue Mountain was only seventy or eighty miles away from the Dazhai in Zhongmiao, and the terrain along the way was relatively flat, and it took only a few hours to go back and forth. Zhang Wuzhu had already summarized the terrain of the front line and the situation in the Annan army and submitted it to Liu Yu to decide.
Generally speaking, after the Annan army was defeated, it retreated to the valley east of Dongyue Mountain, and the valley was also an impactful valley, stationed while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. However, these Annan army obviously examined the court army by dealing with the southern army, but did not know that the speed of the court army marching and tracking exceeded their imagination.
Although the court army did not show up, it had sent a large number of sentry from the flanks to investigate the situation of the Annan army. The court army could really go in and catch the Annan army off guard at any time.
"General, General Zhang means, can we take the initiative first and wipe out these southern barbarians in one fell swoop!" Lian Husheng said.
Liu Yu smiled. If Huo Bing had been commanding the army before, there would definitely be no problem. Huo Bing would definitely rush forward with his troops without hesitation. Although Zhang Wuzhu is a martial artist, he is very cautious. Sometimes he is very anxious when doing things, and sometimes he is timid. Such a good opportunity, since he doesn't attack immediately, he comes to ask for his intentions.
"The orders were sent over, so General Zhang could take care of these things by himself. He thought it was OK. If he came to ask me for instructions on everything, would he say that without my orders, this battle would not be fought?"
Lian Husheng was stunned at first. He didn't expect that Liu Yu would be so enlightened and let the generals under his command make their own decisions. You should know that the front line is less than a hundred miles from the Central Army's tent. In this case, the Central Army's tent will be directly issued by the Central Army's tent.
"Then I will go and pass the order."
"Well. You go there in person. If there is anything, you will repay it as soon as possible." Liu Yu said.
Lian Husheng immediately took the guard to upload the message before.
