Three hundred and eighty-eighth chapter three dangers
"No. After we are done with eradicating evil, Jiu An must be eradicated!"
Song Yang's words were appreciated by Liu Manqing.
In fact, he was not doing it for Liu Manqing at all.
Judging from the information currently available, this Jiu An is indeed an ambitious and restless guy.
In addition, he has a high reputation among the Barbarians, and it can even be said that he responds to a hundred calls.
Therefore, Ju Luo only dared to do things secretly. On the surface, Ju Luo was not Jiu An's opponent at all.
If Jiu An is not completely eliminated this time, if he can rebel once, he will be able to rebel a second time.
Song Yang must put an end to this kind of thing!
After taking the former mountain stronghold, Song Yang immediately held a meeting for the next step of operations.
To eliminate Jiu An, the subsequent battles will have to involve people.
Especially big things like cannons and cannons are not useful.
The Tiger Crouching Cannon also has to be carried by people.
Fortunately, the Tiger Crouching Cannon is small and can be carried around.
Otherwise, it would be too difficult to attack the city with only muskets.
"Go tell Ju Luo, there is no such thing as cheap. If you want this position, you have to pay the price!" Song Yang looked at Wu Ming and said.
Wu Ming has always been in charge of liaison with Juluo.
The former fighting revival army in the former mountain village could handle it by themselves, but when it comes to entering the mountains, it is definitely not possible without a suitable guide.
Wu Ming responded and immediately went to contact Ju Luo.
Song Yang continued to study how to fight the next battle.
Many prisoners were captured in the former village, and they could also serve as leaders.
But Song Yang asked Wu Ming to find Ju Luo because he wanted the prisoners from different camps to restrain each other.
Soon, the small-headed man from the former village brought the map over.
Everyone discussed the map for a while.
The final conclusion is also very simple, just fight all the way through.
afternoon.
Juluo came in person.
Song Yang looked at this gentle young man and really couldn't understand why his father was the black monkey in Liu Yuhua's mouth.
Isn't he biological?
Song Yang could only slander like this...
"Your Highness, Caomin Juluo has come to greet you."
"Get up. You must already know the purpose of my visit to you. Then let's get down to business!" Song Yang waved his hand and asked him to get up.
"This king wants to attack the Manchu stronghold, and your people must be the vanguard!"
"Conquer Dazhai, and I will protect you as chieftain of the three states!"
Song Yang directly made the offer, and it was up to Ju Luo to accept it.
Juluo was indeed tempted.
The three-state chieftains have more power than the barbarian chieftains.
Although they have to listen to the orders of Da Qian, they also have a high degree of autonomy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation! Common people are willing to be pioneers!"
The former mountain stronghold was taken by Song Yang, so Ju Luo no longer had any psychological burden.
With his cooperation, we will definitely be able to take down the Great Stronghold.
As soon as Jiu An died, he became the new chieftain, and he also assumed the title of chieftain of Dagan.
Is Juluo just looking forward to his father's death?
Really! I’m looking forward to it!
Not to mention, Song Yang really guessed it right...
Ju Luo is the product of a walk-in marriage, not Jiu An's biological child...
This can also explain why Jiu An always fails to do well even when he is right.
"So good!"
"Jiu'an is at the end of its rope. As long as we capture the Man Great Stronghold, the eastern part of the Central Guizhou Road will be pacified." Song Yang nodded.
Ju Luo bowed and said, "My lord, actually, if we capture Jiu'an, the Central Guizhou Road will be pacified. Those big chieftains in the west are all staring at Jiu'an."
Jiu An's strength is considered the strongest in Qianzhong Road.
Even Jiu An knelt down, the others were no match for Da Gan, and there would only be a few people who would resist stubbornly when the time came.
Song Yang nodded in agreement and praised Ju Luo.
The next day, under the leadership of Ju Luo and other surrendered troops, the Renaissance Army began to advance into the interior of Wuling Mountain.
Jiu An laid a lot of ambushes on the road, either traps or hidden arrows.
However, under the leadership of Ju Luo and Chang Dao'er, the army successfully arrived at Manyue stronghold.
This is the deepest part of Wuling Mountain, and the terrain is more dangerous.
Moreover, the winding road is rugged and has three passes before and after.
Each one is more dangerous than the other.
It is true that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Even with the assistance of Crouching Tiger Cannon, it would be extremely difficult to capture this stronghold.
There is no good way now but to attack forcefully.
Niu Laosan and Wang Yongning took turns to fight, commanding the squatting cannon and the musketeers to fight.
Ju Luo and other surrendered generals took turns charging to seize the city and seize the stronghold.
"Ju Luo! You bastard, you actually betrayed me!" Jiu An shouted angrily when he saw Ju Luo's men at the top of the city.
"Big-headed man! What have you brought to the Yue people! Now the lives of the Yue people are getting worse year by year! Sooner or later they will starve to death with you! Only I! Can lead the Yue people to get better and better!" Juluo responded loudly.
Jiu An still wanted to yell and curse, but he was shot back by the squatting tiger cannon under the city.
Now he didn't dare to take the lead anymore, so he could only order his men to shoot arrows and spears from the gaps in the battlements.
"People in Dazhai! The former stronghold is lost, and Dazhai is also besieged! All the villages in the north of the mountain have turned to support me!"
"Are you still going to work for Jiu An?"
"Put down your weapons and open the city gate! I! Will lead you to a better life!"
As soon as he heard the artillery fire, Juluo began to output words.
Not to mention, once Juluo makes up his mind, he works very hard.
And his speech output also has good effects.
All the Manyue people in Dazhai knew Juluo.
What Ju Luo said is correct. In the past few years that Jiu'an has been in power, the lives of the people have indeed gone back and forth.
Some people have already begun to hesitate.
"Don't listen to his monstrous words to deceive the public! I am the one protected by the mountain god! Anyone who dares to lay down his weapon will be killed by me as a sacrifice to the mountain god!" Jiu An screamed in fright when he saw someone put down their weapon.
He knew that neither Daqian nor Juluo would let him go.
You can only resist to the end.
Daqian needs someone to take responsibility for the chaos on Qianzhong Road.
Ju Luo wanted to ensure that he could not threaten him at all in the future.
Not counting Liu Manqing, Jiu An also knew that he would die if he surrendered.
"Puff puff!"
After killing several people in a row, they finally stopped the surrender in Dazhai.
However, as a result, the combat morale of the Barbarian Yue soldiers plummeted.
Soon the first pass of Manyue Village fell.
Jiu An led the people back to the second pass.
The Renaissance Army immediately occupied the first pass.
"My lord, I won the first level!"
"Well done, keep pursuing the victory!"
Although the terrain of the second pass is more prominent, the battle is easier.
Because there was a small square in front of the pass, the tiger crouching cannon swung and fired for a while, and the battle was over.
"Your Majesty, the second pass has been taken!"
The good news came back again.
"Keep up the good work!" Song Yang's face showed even greater effectiveness.
The third pass is the last pass in Manyue Stronghold and the most difficult to attack.
The way in and out of this place is only a thin strip of sky more than one meter wide, which is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The footsteps of the coalition forces also temporarily stopped here.
There was no progress until dusk that day.
"Juluo. Is there any other way up to this third pass?"
"Go back to your lord. This is the only way. If we want to attack, there is no other way but to attack by force."
Song Yang also didn't expect that the third pass would be so dangerous.
In this place, not to mention cannons, there are only three or four squatting tiger cannons.
There is no way to bombard the city.
If you want to use explosives, you have to rush to the city.
This section of the skyline is at least 100 meters away. It is impossible to get up to it without killing three to five hundred people from such a distance.
It is unrealistic to disintegrate from within.
The people guarding the third pass now must be Jiu An's loyal confidants.
That place doesn't need many people. Five hundred people can block the road. As long as the third pass is defended, Jiu'an will be in an invincible position.
The Fuxing Army came from afar and could not take over Man Yu stronghold within half a month, so they had no choice but to retreat to the former stronghold.
This means that the effect of this pacification battle is halved.
"Your Majesty! I will lead people to charge forward tomorrow!" Niu Laosan said, cupping his fists.
"I'll go! I can't believe that this small copycat village can't be conquered!" Wang Yongning also stood up and said.
If you rush in forcefully, the first batch to go up will definitely die.
Song Yang had no idea of trading his life for success, he frowned and kept shaking his head.
He stood up and walked around the room twice, then opened the door and walked out.
There is a large area of Pingdan between Erdaoguan and Sandaoguan.
There were originally a lot of Barbarians living here, but after the war started, some of them went to other places.
Some of them finally managed to hide behind the three passes.
Now from here to a pass, there are the military camps of the Renaissance Army.
Crouching tiger cannons were placed in rows there, a hundred of them.
Unfortunately, this thing is no longer available.
"It would be great if there were mortars with parabolic attacks!"
Song Yang curled his lips and thought.
If you have mortars, you can set them upright on the mountain road. At least thirty or forty mortars can be placed on that narrow road.
That's enough.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.
Song Yang continued to walk forward, and everyone followed behind and did not dare to say anything.
They all knew that Song Yang was thinking about things.
After getting off Erdaoguan, we arrived at the settlement of Yidaoguan.
The terrain here is gentler, and there are more cabins owned by the Manyue people.
Moreover, some barbarian people did not leave either.
They looked at the Renaissance Army in front of their home and did not dare to come forward.
Before Song Yang came, he restrained the Fuxing Army and made sure there was no harm done to the common people.
The Renaissance Army circled some empty houses as campsites, and placed many weapons and gasoline barrels in the open space in the yard.
The gasoline was originally intended to set the mountain on fire.
It never came to use.
Song Yang's eyes flashed when he saw the gasoline barrel.
"How many gasoline barrels did you bring?" Song Yang suddenly turned around and asked.
"Ah?" Niu Laosan didn't react for a moment.
"Gasoline barrels! How many are these?" Song Yang pointed to the gasoline barrels.
"Oh oh oh! Your Majesty, I brought a hundred barrels of this thing with me. I didn't use it on the way. I only turned on some to make a fire for cooking. There must be at least seventy or eighty barrels left." Niu Laosan answered hurriedly.
It rained a few days ago, and the soldiers of the Renaissance Army couldn't find dry firewood, so they used gasoline to cook...
"There are so many more? That's enough!" Song Yang said happily.
"Your Majesty, let's burn the mountain?" Niu Laosan was very puzzled.
"Uncle Wang, it's so bare here that it can't be burned!" Song Chengwang looked up the mountain.
Going up to Sandao Pass, the terrain is very steep and there is almost no vegetation.
If this is setting a fire, don't burn yourself.
"Don't burn the mountains! We are civilized people! How can we destroy the environment?" Song Yang joked.
With everyone scratching their heads, Song Yang pointed at the gasoline barrel and ordered Niu Laosan and Wang Yongning:
"Third brother, Lao Wang! You two lead people to pour out the gasoline in the barrel!"
