Chapter 1301 Gao Qiu will still make mistakes in the original work
As soon as Li Jun said this, many of the gangster leaders who were originally from Liangshanbo looked slightly complicated. After all, they were all leaders of the same village in the past, but now it was all because Song Jiang was used by the imperial court.
When they turned against each other, Chao Gai couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought about his old friendship with Song Jiang.
However, when we get along with each other in the village, we also pay attention to like-minded people. Now, those who are unruly and unwilling to be accepted by the court gather together, while those who still retain hope for the court and are willing to submit to Song Jiang's command have gathered together.
.Moreover, most of the gangsters from Jingxi, Jinghu and other places surrendered to Liangshanbo in two stages. Previously, Liu Min and Fengtai escaped to appease Xiao Tang on Jingxi South Road and fled all the way east, and some followed Fangshan.
The fish that slipped through the net of the Kou uprising were successively instigated and joined Liangshan; another large group was persuaded by Li Zhu and had the idea of ​​gathering in one place to deal with or confront the imperial court.
All the soldiers and horses from this village were gathered together with those from Liangshan Po.
Even if they fall into the same mountain village together, they may not immediately become as good as one person. All the leaders are divided according to the mountain tops of the past, and the old friendship will be faintly formed in the village where dragons and snakes are mixed.
The trend is that the navy leaders such as Li Jun, Zhang Heng, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng who were originally abandoned in Liangshan are not very harmonious with the strong bandits who are good at water warfare in Jinghu and the west of Beijing.
They are secretly resentful because of their competitive spirit. Now that it is the other party who wants to show off his face first, there is no need to be merciful when we meet with swords in battle compared to the old feelings.
"Just as Brother Li Jun said, the naval forces guarding the Liangshan side of Shuibo can compete with the naval leaders under Song Jiang. But in addition to Liangshan Dazhai, the two mountains of Qingzhou, especially the Erlongshan Dazhai, are our
The place where Green Forest made its fortune was bound to be the target of the imperial conquest army. How to deploy soldiers and horses for defense and deployment? In addition to our need to make a living, we still have to patrol the Jiji, Qing and other military prefectures and the movements of officers and soldiers at the border.
, please prepare detailed information to find out, and return to the village at starry night."
After hearing Xu Guanzhong's advice, Xiao Tang took it for granted, so he sent the chief detective in the village down the mountain to inquire about the news. While in the village, he still ordered the leaders of the horse and infantry troops to practice fighting. Li Zhi also sent Li Zhi to the eight villages in Liangshan due to floods and droughts.
I was busy thinking about the defenses that could be improved and repaired. During this period, Tang Long, the leader of the ministry who was responsible for making armors and weapons, came to report that thousands of iron spears captured in several battles had been delivered.
Among the Feijie Army under the command of Zhang Qing, there were two leaders, Gong Wang and Ding Desun, who were responsible for arranging and practicing the cavalry under their command, which would be useful in future wars...
A few days later, when the chief of detectives from Erlong Village in Qingzhou arrived with a letter from Fei Ge, Xiao Tang learned another very important military information: the former capital of Runing County had been established due to the repeated national wars between Song and Xia.
Hu Yanzhuo, who was promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards and Horse Guards in front of the palace due to his military exploits, and two generals, Han Tao and Peng Qi, who were also transferred to the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards and Horse Guards because of their merits, were sent by the Privy Council.
He was ordered to go to the location of the former military headquarters on Hedong Road to mobilize 3,000 elite cavalry troops and 5,000 infantry troops from the old army. They set out on a date. It seems that they were also dispatched by Gao Qiu to prepare to join forces and suppress the bandits in several mountains on Jingdong Road. Now there are three soldiers on horseback and infantry.
Waiting for a long time, they arrived at the intersection of Jinan Prefecture and Dongping Prefecture on the East Jing Road. The expedition horses from Qingzhou and Qingzhou Mountains discovered the truth and immediately went straight to the village to report the matter and sent a letter quickly to report it.
Compared with the previous situation when Li Jun discussed with the leaders of the navy in the stronghold to strictly guard the other navy leaders who followed Song Jiang and surrendered to the imperial court, but he was not afraid to fall out and take action, now the Juyi Hall is much quieter. Because everyone present
All the leaders knew that Hu Yanzhuo, as well as his two generals Han Tao and Peng Qi, like Guan Sheng and others, were fierce military generals who had repeatedly made military exploits with their brothers in the officialdom in the past.
Because of his meritorious service, Hu Yanzhuo was promoted to the position of the commander of the palace guards, pro-army and horse forces. However, his immediate boss also became Gao Qiu, an old thief who had a deep grudge against Xiao Tang. Now he was planning to kill Xiao Tang and his gang.
Qiu immediately thought of Hu Yanzhuo and ordered him to lead him back to Hedong to summon his old soldiers and horses and kill Xiao Tang, his old benefactor, to death. It was reasonable. But since Hu Yanzhuo and others had old feelings, it was not as good as
Xiao Tang had to decide how he would treat the navy and navy under Liu Menglong without any scruples.
Moreover, Hu Yanzhuo's old army of soldiers and horses, which could suppress the enemy's formation and be invincible, could severely damage the enemy's morale. The heavy cavalry with chain horses was also removed from the heavy cavalry formation at Xiao Tang's suggestion.
Without the fatal drawback of the hook rope connecting the ranks with an iron chain, it would no longer be possible to teach the infantry the three-way secret method of hooking the sickle and spear into the hidden forest and grass, and pulling the leg with the hook and hoof like Xu Ning, the golden spear general in the original work.
, and was able to successfully break the chain horse.
In the Juyi Hall, the eyes of all the brothers fell on Xiao Tang who was hesitating in thought. After a moment, Xiao Tang smiled coldly. He did not say anything about how to treat Hu Yanzhuo's troops, but he was serious.
He said in a loud voice: "That guy Gao Qiu is really a loser in the military affairs of the Bing family. Now that Chen Xizhen is missing to make suggestions for him, although he still has an aide Sun Jing by his side, he is just a gangster who often makes evil plans to harm people but has no knowledge of military affairs.
...
The Qiuyue, Fengmei, Bi Sheng, and Zhou Ang in front of the palace all seem to be just some brave warriors, but they have no idea that those who are first on the battlefield and wait for the enemy are lost, and those who are behind the battlefield are
Those who are eager to fight will work hard, so those who are good at fighting will lead to others without killing them! Scheduling and gathering officers and soldiers is not just about issuing an order and telling the soldiers and horses to do their own thing, and then gathering in one place to fight with the enemy.
With such a light weight, how could it be that the three yamen princes in front of the palace and the soldiers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty treat it as child's play?"
The reason why Xiao Tang laughed at Gao Qiu for not fulfilling such an important position as the head of the martial arts, but because he didn't know how to lead troops to fight, was precisely because his arrangement of gathering troops and horses based on the official decree was still the same as in the original work.
The first mistake he made when he commanded the army to conquer Liangshan was exactly the same.
In the book, I heard detailed information from the leader of the detectives in Songjiang. After learning that Gao Qiu was leading an army to conquer Liangshanbo, Wu Yong first proposed to send Zhang Qing and Dong Ping to patrol Jezhou with their horse troops.
They intercepted and killed the troops and horses from all directions. If they encountered incoming troops, they killed them first to teach Gao Qiu how powerful they were. However, according to General Gao Qiu, all the officers, soldiers and horses came to Jeju "one after another", and among the ten festivals,
When Wang Wende led a group of troops and horses at Fengweipo, which was more than forty miles away from Jeju, they ran into Dong Ping. The sentinel troops and horses led by Zhang Qing fought for two battles. Not only could they not win against Dong Ping, but they were also hit on the helmet.
Zhang Qing was killed by a flying stone and Wang Wende had no choice but to leave his saddle and run away on horseback. If it hadn't happened that another Jiedushi envoy Yang Wen and his army also passed by here, Wang Wende's way would have been blocked in ten Jieduli.
The soldiers and horses had to be killed first by Dong Ping and Zhang Qing who were caught by the fortune-teller...
Then Wang Wende and Yang Wen entered Jezhou together. Zhang Shuye also received the troops one after another. A few days later, Gao Qiucai led the Bianjing Forbidden Army to Jezhou and issued an order to all the troops to camp outside the city.
Station, they had to "wait" for the arrival of Liu Menglong's water army before they could set off together... Although the details of this paragraph in the book are easily overlooked, at that time Xiao Tang couldn't help but want to complain every time he looked at it:
At Liangshan and Songjiang, Wu Yong only tentatively sent out two groups of light cavalry sentinels, and almost killed a group of troops before the officers and soldiers could gather. If there was a deliberate calculation in advance, although the number of soldiers was large, the whole army would be divided into a few.
Road, the situation is already weak, but they are still gathering in an area very close to the enemy-occupied area... It can almost be said that they are lining up to kill people. How can a battle be fought like this?
The navy commanded by Liu Menglong was annihilated before it could assemble with other officers, soldiers, and infantry troops in Jeju. This was because Gao Qiu was a layman in the deployment of troops and horses. But now Hu Yanzhuo is a military layman.
The old troops were mobilized from Runing County, Hedong, to assemble on Jingdong Road. They were already far away from the marching direction of Gyeonggi and Jingxi Road. They were also in a state of temporarily having no friendly forces to support them. But how will they deal with Hu Yanzhuo now?
The three generals Han Tao and Peng Qi and their elite chain horses and heavy cavalry... Xiao Tang knew that he had to think carefully and plan.
