"It's possible that the bandits are seedlings in the deep mountains." Wang Pingshan shouted sternly, "There is a flat land ahead. Quickly let the guys lead the mules, horses and donkeys to the flat ground in front, and form a circle from head to tail!"
The Wang family caravan is not a vegetarian, and they are not afraid of petty thieves.
Under the orders of Wang Pingshan and the steward, the Wang family caravan quickly prepared its defense.
At this time, groups of soldiers also poured out from the valley in front.
Seeing the native soldiers pouring out of the valley, Wang Pingshan's heart sank instantly, the native soldiers of Yunnan!
From the tangled hair and the rattan armor on their bodies, we can tell that they are Yunnan native soldiers, because only the Yunnan native soldiers wear red rattan armor and use red rattan cards. This time they are in big trouble.
"Longjiao, quickly go to Yongning Prefecture for help!"
"Others, abandon the cavalry and go into the woods!"
A long-legged boy immediately ran into the path.
The remaining several hundred men followed Wang Pingshan into the woods.
Facing thousands of heavily armed chieftain soldiers, there was no point in resisting except for death, so it was better to simply give up the cavalry to the chieftains and slow down their actions.
As long as the officers and soldiers arrive, they can take back the cavalry.
…
Yongning Zhoucheng, Qinglong.
However, Qinglong at this time was not called Qinglong, but Annanwei.
I have to say that it is really easy to confuse many place names in Southwest China, such as Guangxi Prefecture and Lin'an Prefecture in Yunnan, and there are even more place names called Annan. It is hard to tell the difference between Annan, Wei, and Nansi.
As the name suggests, Annan Guard is a guard station established by Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.
But now, Annanwei has long existed in name only.
A guard of the Ming Dynasty has more than 5,000 troops, but the Annan Guard can't even get 500 now. If the chieftain makes trouble, he has to temporarily recruit strong people to help defend the city.
Of course, Annanwei is not alone.
Other health centers in the Ming Dynasty were also like this.
Qin Liangyu's white-pole soldiers and Li Xiangjun's female barracks were stationed at Annan Guard at this time.
The appearance of more than 5,000 female soldiers has injected extra vitality into Annanwei, a small southwestern town. In addition to the familiar Miao natives in the city who are attracted by the female soldiers, they also attract Miao girls from the mountains.
There were actually female soldiers wearing armor in the Ming Dynasty? This is something new.
So they all came to Annanwei from the mountains to see what happened.
When Miao girls really saw the heroic and heroic female soldiers, they were filled with envy.
Li Xiangjun also curiously looked at the Miao girls walking on the street. He felt that all of these Miao girls were very skilled and were obviously more suitable to serve as soldiers than the women from Nanzhili.
At that moment, Li Xiangjun said to Qin Liangyu: "Master, I am going to ask the Holy Master for a decree to allow my disciples to come to Guizhou and Yunnan to recruit soldiers, because the Miao girls here are more suitable to be soldiers."
"Miao girls have been accustomed to climbing over mountains and ridges since childhood. They can walk as fast as flying on the mountain roads in Zaiqi District. They are indeed more suitable to serve as soldiers than Han girls from Jiangnan." Qin Liangyu first affirmed Li Xiangjun, and then changed the subject and added, "However, Xiangjun
Why are you so obsessed with commanding female soldiers? Have you never considered commanding male soldiers?"
"Command male soldiers?" Li Xiangjun was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes, after all, men have the advantage in fighting." Qin Liangyu said, "Compared to men, our daughter's family is at an obvious disadvantage in all aspects. In ancient times, it was good for women to lead troops on expeditions, and the soldiers they led were all men. That's you
Master, I am also leading the good men of Shilisi, not the women’s army of Shilisi.”
Li Xiangjun said thoughtfully: "This disciple has never thought about it."
"You need to think clearly about this matter." Qin Liangyu said, "If you really want to make contributions to the Ming Dynasty and go down in history as a female general, you will definitely not be able to rely on female soldiers alone. You must learn to lead male soldiers. Of course, for the convenience of
It’s okay to keep an army of women around you as your personal army.”
Li Xiangjun nodded heavily and said: "The disciple will seriously consider the master's suggestion."
"Okay, then let's continue." Qin Liangyu said, "I have taught you everything about marching, setting up camps, and arranging troops. Today, I will focus on telling you about the insights of a general."
He paused for a moment and then said: "The official road in central Guizhou is more than a thousand miles from Tongguwei to Pu'an Prefecture, but why does the master want to garrison troops in Yongning Prefecture? Why is it not Pu'an Prefecture, which is closest to Yunnan, nor is it located in the central Guizhou official road?
Where is Guiyang Prefecture, which is in the middle of the road and is most convenient for support from both ends? Do you know why?"
Li Xiangjun asked thoughtfully: "Because Yongning Prefecture has the highest possibility of being attacked?"
"Children can be taught." Qin Liangyu nodded happily, "Then I will ask you again, my teacher, why is Yongning Prefecture the most likely to be attacked by Yunnan chieftains?"
Li Xiangjun replied: "Because Pu'an Prefecture is the closest to Yunnan, the Yunnan chieftain soldiers must think that Pu'an Prefecture is heavily guarded, so there is no chance even if they go there. However, going further east from Zhenning Prefecture is too far and goes too deep into Guizhou. For Yunnan
For chieftain soldiers, it is taboo to attack far away with an isolated army. Once the retreat route is cut off by the chieftains of Guizhou, the entire army will be wiped out."
After a pause, he added: "Only Yongning Prefecture is right next to Pu'an Prefecture, which is the most suitable."
"Girl, my teacher now believes that you are a real talent." Qin Liangyu said with a smile, "The reason why the Holy One is willing to appoint you as a general to aid in the suppression of Xuzhou is probably not just because of your beauty."
"Master." Li Xiangjun's pretty face rarely showed the look of a childlike goddess.
Qin Liangyu smiled and was about to say a few words to Li Xiangjun when his nephew Qin Yiming hurried over.
"Aunt." Qin Yiming first saluted Qin Liangyu and then bowed to Li Xiangjun, "General Li, just received an urgent report from the Wang family's caravan, saying that they were attacked in Guansoling!"
"Guan Suoling?" Li Xiangjun said, "Master really got what he said."
Guansuoling is located between Yongning Prefecture and Zhenning Prefecture and belongs to the boundary between the two prefectures.
After saying this, Li Xiangjun said again: "Master, let's send troops quickly!"
"No need to worry." Qin Liangyu waved his hand and asked Qin Yiming, "How many rebels are there?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qin Yiming said: "The soldiers who attacked the Wang family's caravan were soldiers from Yunnan. It is said that there were thousands of them!"
"Thousands of people?" Qin Liangyu said with a smile, "So this Yunnan chieftain also knows the art of war? This is the best tactic among the thirty-six strategies!"
"To attract good friends?" Li Xiangjun said, "Master, what do you say?"
Qin Liangyu asked back: "Girl, if you were Sha Dingzhou, would you send an army of a thousand people deep into Guizhou to cut off the government's grain transportation channels?"
"Of course it's impossible." Li Xiangjun said, "One thousand people is too few."
"So, these are just bricks thrown by Yunnan soldiers." Qin Liangyu said with a smile, "The intention is to lure us to rescue, but they set up an ambush halfway to catch us off guard."
"The thieves are so insidious." Li Xiangjun was shocked when he heard this, "If it weren't for the master, the disciple would have almost been ambushed."
"Girl, the most taboo word when leading troops in battle is the word "hurry". Qin Liangyu said seductively, "The more anxious you are, the easier it is for you to make mistakes, and once a general makes a mistake, he will pay thousands of dollars."
There are tens of thousands of living lives, so you need to think twice before making any major decisions."
After a pause, he added: "If you can't figure it out or can't see clearly at the moment, you'd rather wait. Of course, it won't be a waste of time. The commander's insight is most needed here."
"Disciple, I would like to learn from you." Li Xiangjun bowed to the ground.
Seeing that Qin Liangyu was so interested in professor Li Xiangjun, Qin Yiming was a little jealous, thinking that when his aunt taught them, his nephews, he did not put as much effort into teaching Li Xiangjun.
Li Xiangjun asked again: "Master, what should we do now?"
"Girl, it's up to you to decide here." Qin Liangyu said, "What do you think we should do?"
Li Xiangjun thought for a while and then said: "Since this is a tactic used by the traitor to lure the enemy, then we will give him a stratagem. We will use part of our troops to lure the enemy first, and then we will attack from both front and rear after luring the traitor."
"Very good." Qin Liangyu said happily, "Girl, let's do it as you said."
Li Xiangjun said again: "Master, I will lead half of the troops first, and you will follow later."
"No, I will go with you as my master." Qin Liangyu waved his hand and told Qin Yimin, "Yimin, you and Gongming and Zuo Ming still have ten thousand years left. Wanchun will lead his army to follow."
"Yes." Qin Yiming responded respectfully.
…
Soon, one thousand white soldiers and two thousand female soldiers marched out of the city and rushed towards Guansoling.
From Annanwei to Guansuoling, you have to pass through a steep place called Ji Gong Bei. This place is exactly like the name of the place. It is like the back of a rooster. There are cliffs on both sides. As long as the two ends are blocked, you will be trapped to death.
Six thousand native soldiers from the Wushidong Division in Lin'an Fuxi were hiding in the valley near Jigongbei.
Wang Shuo, chieftain of Xiwushidong, was Sha Dingzhou's staunchest confidant. Because the mountain was blocked, Wang Shuo didn't know until this moment that Sha Dingzhou's army had been annihilated, and even Sha Dingzhou had been beheaded.
All Wang Shuo could think about was cutting off the food routes of the Ming army and forcing them to retreat.
It was getting colder and colder in Guizhou in mid-September, so Wang Shuo ordered the soldiers to light a bonfire.
Another iron pot was set up on the fire, and in the pot was cooked haggis, caught from the mountains yesterday.
The haggis soup in the pot has begun to steam out from the bones, and the air is filled with the aroma of haggis.
A Tumu suddenly came to Wang Shuo quickly and gasped: "Chief, the officers and soldiers are almost on the back of the chicken!"
"Have the officers and soldiers finally arrived?" Wang Shuo suddenly perked up and asked again, "Have you seen clearly how many officers and soldiers have arrived?"
"There must be at least three to four thousand people, maybe more." Tumu paused and then said, "It's just that there are many female soldiers inside. I don't know how it happened, but there are actually female soldiers in the official army."
"Female soldiers?" Wang Shuo's eyes suddenly lit up, "How many female soldiers are there?"
"A lot, let's say thousands." Tumu licked his lips excitedly.
