Chapter 238: Seizing the City, Zhuge Kes Experience
Three hours later, Zhuge Ke was very satisfied with the few improvised ladders and several wooden poles. Although there were not many, they were enough to attack the county seat that was more than ten feet high. Maybe they would also be used.
If not, it would be even better if they were lucky and could take advantage of them and rob the city gate directly…………
From time to time, a breeze blows from the seaside in the forest, making the leaves rustle, but it does not make the temperature of the rainforest drop much. It is still very hot, and the effect of the sea breeze is minimal. I heard some veterans in the army say that there is a place in Danzhou (Hainan).
It is like this all year round, there is no winter, and at least two crops of rice can be grown. I think this is one of the reasons why His Majesty fell in love with this place.
Zhuge Ke walked to an ancient tree that no one could hug, stood still, and said: "Soldiers, we are about to open up territory for Your Majesty. Charge!"
A "rumbling" sound of horse hoofbeats resounded in the rain forest. The leaves on the ground were a little thick, which actually suppressed the sound of horse hoofbeats. Half an hour later, Zhuge Ke's vanguard cavalry had rushed outside Tandu City.
The Li soldiers guarding the city gate yelled loudly in gibbering Li language, and cautiously used their long swords and swords to point at the oncoming Wu Army cavalry vanguard. Although the weapons and equipment in the hands of the Li soldiers were not as good as those of the Wu Army,
But it is still much better than the Shanyi tribe in Yizhou (Taiwan).
After all, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established counties and counties here, despite repeated establishments and repeated charges, they still learned some advanced technologies such as iron smelting from the Han people. However, in recent years, they have lost a lot of exchanges with the Central Plains, weapons manufacturing and
Some other technologies began to lag far behind those in the Central Plains.
Seeing that the Li soldiers had no intention of putting down their weapons, a leading captain rushed forward without stopping. He rushed to the city at the last moment before the Li soldiers closed the two old and decaying city gates.
He squeezed in in front of the gate, raised his knife and slashed down all the Li soldiers at the city gate.
The soldiers on the tower also rushed down and fought with him. The captain didn't care at all that the wet and warm blood was still stained on his face. It obviously belonged to the Li soldiers. The Li soldiers didn't have any decent armor. He
He slashed at the general with a few more knives, and continued to chop with his hands. He turned to the Wu army cavalry who were following closely behind him and said: "Soldiers, follow me to kill! You are here to make contributions to your majesty and to the general!"
The Li soldiers began to react and no longer bothered to cool off. Under the command of a small leader, the soldiers in the back row began to fight back with bows and arrows. The sound of "Boom-Boom-Boom" continued.
From time to time, people on both sides screamed "ah" and fell to the ground. The bronze drums on the tower also began to be beaten "ding-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang."
After a cup of tea, the Li soldiers suffered a great loss in this sudden battle because they did not have much armor. Forty or fifty of them were already lying on the ground near the city gate, their bodies covered with arrows.
,
The Wu army suffered very few casualties. Although Wu's infantry and cavalry could not defeat Cao Wei's, they were more than enough to deal with a group of barbarians in remote areas. After all, there was still a big gap in strength between the Li soldiers and Cao Wei's soldiers.
Wu Guo has a lot of experience in dealing with barbarians.
There are many Shanyue people in the vast territory of Jiangdong, but now they have been temporarily pacified. Many soldiers of the Wu army have also been sent to suppress the Shanyue people. They still have sufficient experience in dealing with barbarians.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Sun family initially settled in Jiangdong, where there were many mountains and mountains distributed over a wide area.
They often united with the "Zongbu" (a local armed group organized based on the clan township) in various places to fight against them, becoming a thorn in the side of Sun Wu's regime.
Shanyue is the collective name for the bandit-style armed groups in the Jiangnan area during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. Because they often occupy mountains as their bases, they are also called "mountain people". Shanyue's production method is mainly agriculture, planting grains, and because "the mountains produce copper and iron"
", and often "make their own armor".
They are widely dispersed and live in small groups. They like to practice martial arts and rely on mountain dangers to form armed military groups. Their leaders have many titles such as "Shuai", "Dashuai", "Zongshuai" and so on. They are semi-independent of the central feudal regime.
.
When Sun Ce first left Yuan Shu and went to Jiangdong, he went to seek refuge with Wu Jing, the prefect of Danyang. He was attacked by Zu Lang, the local bandit commander, and was almost in danger.
In the third year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu sent people with seals and ribbons to communicate with Zulang, the commander-in-chief of Danyang (today's Xuancheng, Anhui), and so on. He stirred up the mountains and rivers and united his troops to plan a joint attack on Sun Ce, but Sun Ce defeated him.
In order to consolidate his power and plunder the labor force and soldiers, Sun Quan dispatched generals to control Shanyue in the fifth year of Jian'an. In the eighth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan conquered Huang Zu in the west. Just when he was about to break the city, Shanyue resurrected, posing a serious threat.
Sun Wu's rear area forced Sun Quan to withdraw his troops.
After Sun Quan withdrew to the east, he sent Lu Fan to ping Poyang (now northeast of Poyang, Jiangxi Province); Cheng Pu to pursue Le'an (now northeast of Dexing, Jiangxi Province); Taishi Ci to lead Haihun (now northwest of Yongxiu, Jiangxi Province); Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, and Lu Meng
He served as the county magistrate in the area where Shanyue activities were most frequent and pacified Shanyue in various places.
In the 22nd year of Jian'an, Lu Xun suggested to Sun Quan that to defeat the enemy and quell the chaos, it would be impossible to defeat the enemy. However, Shanyue was blocked by deep ground and his inner circle was not at peace, so it was difficult to make a far-reaching goal. So he ordered Lu Xun to conquer Shanyue in the three counties of Kuaiji, Danyang, and Xindu, and captured them.
The strong ones became soldiers, the weak ones became civilian households, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers were obtained.
In the third year of Wu Jiahe, Sun Quan worshiped Zhuge Ke as the general of Fuyue and led Danyang to be the governor. Ke moved the four adjacent counties and ordered each to protect their borders. Then he divided his troops to control the dangerous places, divided and surrounded the mountains and rivers, and only repaired the fences and did not fight with them.
Confrontation.
When the grains are about to ripen, they send troops to plow them and force them out of the mountains to survive due to hunger.
Zhuge Ke selected 40,000 of them as soldiers, and the rest moved to the plains to serve as households. After decades of brutal conquests by Sun Wu, most of the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River were forced out of the mountains and moved to the plains. Some of them were used to supplement the supply of troops.
; Some of them became registered households, their rents and taxes were adjusted, or they became private tenants.
Now that we have arrived at Ganzhou (Hainan), it must be the same. It will take several years or decades to completely pacify this place. Zhuge Ke has a lot of experience in dealing with the Shanyue people and he is very capable.
But before that, Zhuge Ke still wanted to capture the counties and cities all over Danzhou (Hainan), and then use tactics to drive out the Li tribes hiding in the rainforest, collect them, and suppress them.
After all, since the Han army was forced to withdraw from Danzhou (Hainan), the previously established counties and cities were all occupied by some Li tribes. It was better to take the cities back from the Li tribes first.
After a stick of incense was burned, the defensive formation of the Li soldiers at the city gate completely collapsed. The remaining Li soldiers began to flee in all directions. The Wu army asked the guide who understood the Li language to ask them to put down their weapons. The Li soldiers knew that they had no way to escape.
They put down their weapons one after another, and hundreds of Li people were already lying on the ground.
The leader of the captain said: "Haha, today's harvest is not small, there are more than a thousand Li prisoners." It's a pity that the tools Zhuge Ke asked the soldiers to prepare are temporarily out of use...
