In addition to doing these trainings, Guo Xu also carefully selected the generals who would accompany the army. Guo Xu originally wanted to ask Yang Jun to accompany him, but Yang Jun declined on the grounds of physical discomfort. Guo Xu knew that Yang Jun was not sick, but
He had a negative attitude towards this operation, so he refused to take command. Guo Xu didn't care about this. Yang Jun seemed to think that without him, there would be no one to lead the army. Isn't this a big joke? If not at this moment, he couldn't
How could Guo Xu allow him to show off when he fell out with Yang Jun? However, it failed to avoid another chaotic situation in the new dynasty, so he had to endure it for the time being. Yang Jun's actions aroused Guo Xu's desire to win. Guo Xu was determined to defeat his opponent and triumphantly.
When the time comes, I will show the heads of Lin Jue and Guo Bing to Yang Jun to see what Yang Jun has to say.
So Guo Xu issued an order to transfer several senior generals back from the border towns, and appointed Zhao Yuankang, the commander of the Palace Front Division and deputy privy envoy, as the leading general, forming what he considered to be a smart and capable team. At the same time, his general, who was suppressing the box,
All the equipment was gathered together and went out with the army. What kind of crossbows, what kind of catapults, what kind of cloud vehicles were used to attack the city, what kind of Tibetan military vehicles were used to withstand the opponent's firepower. He used all the siege equipment owned by the Weapons Department of the Zhou Dynasty.
Everyone was ordered to take part in this mountain attack. Materials were also fully prepared. Fuel, arrows, grain, grass and other items were all personally inspected and supervised, which almost emptied the already empty treasury. But Guo Xu thought it was worth it.
What could be more important than annihilating the gang of rebels like Guo Bing and his son and Lin Jue? As long as he annihilated them, he would have no worries anymore. This battle also showed that he was a wise and powerful generation after he ascended the throne.
The emperor's perfect opportunity must be played cleanly and beautifully.
On the first day of October, Guo Xu, fully dressed in military uniform, took an oath at the South Campus and set off for the expedition. On the day of the expedition, the yellow dragon flag covered the sky and the sun, the golden hammer was dazzling, the swords, guns, swords and halberds stood like a forest, and the cowhide drums resounded throughout the world.
The Chinese ministers all sent him off, and some wrote poems and recited them loudly, wishing the emperor a triumphant return.
As the saying goes: On the day when the king's army sets out for battle, when the king approaches the battle, he will go away full of ambition, but when will he return with a triumphant song?
The army stretched for seven or eight miles, with a large number of equipment and equipment accompanying it slowly. It headed straight for Funiu Mountain in a mighty manner. This posture was indeed a posture that swallowed Funiu Mountain in one go.
…
In Funiu Mountain, upon hearing the news that the imperial army was heading towards Funiu Mountain in a dark mass, the whole village fell into an atmosphere of excitement and panic.
What I was excited about was that I could finally fight against the officers and soldiers. After the flag-raising ceremony, the village fell into a state of calm, without any combat actions. This made many Luoyan Army soldiers anxious. Some people said privately,
This is called loud thunder and small raindrops. Some people put it more popularly: a dog that bites people does not bark, and a dog that barks happily does not bite people.
Some people who defected were also quite disappointed with the actions of the Luoyan Army. They thought they could devote themselves to the blood and fire battle with the imperial court, and only then could they avenge defeat. As a result, the entire village showed no signs of coming out to fight.
. Instead, they are doing things like building roads and bridges, building village dams, and building cableways and trestles every day. This is completely different from what they imagined.
After hearing the news that the officers and soldiers were coming to attack the mountain, these people were eager to try. Finally, they couldn't hide this time, and they finally had to fight the officers and soldiers.
But for other people, they can't help but feel worried. The opponent is bound to win this time, and they may not be able to hold on. Since the establishment of the Funiu Mountain Luoyan Valley, they have never fought against such a large number of officers and soldiers. Many people
My heart started to murmur and get hairy.
In the Juyi Hall, Lin Jue convened a meeting of all the middle-level generals of the Luoyan Army. After confirming that the news was true, Lin Jue decided to hold the meeting. Guo Kun was also invited to attend, occupying the first seat in the middle.
The autumn sun in the morning shines in from the clear tile skylight at the top of the hall. Countless dust is dancing in the bright light, like a group of happy elves. However, the faces of everyone present are solemn, especially those sitting at the top.
Lin Jue's expression was extremely solemn and solemn. Everyone felt the solemn aura emanating from him, and they all became solemn.
"Everyone, you all know the news. Guo Xu personally led an army of 160,000 people and carried a large amount of luggage to Funiu Mountain. The scouting report shows that they have arrived in Ruzhou. In other words, in two to three days, they will
, the imperial army will arrive at the foot of Funiu Mountain. The situation is already very urgent." Lin Jue said slowly and deeply.
"Military advisor, what do you have to worry about? When the soldiers come, we will cover up the water and the earth. Just follow them. We are not vegetarians." Lu Yi, the deputy commander of the infantry battalion, shouted.
"That's right, we are not afraid. We will teach them to come and discipline them until they come back." A group of generals shouted one after another.
Lin Jue frowned slightly, then straightened his eyebrows. The thoughts of Lu Yi and others indeed represented the thoughts of many people in the Luoyan Army. Since its establishment, the Luoyan Army has been invincible, with some setbacks in the early stage.
, but in the later period, they did a lot of great things and fought a lot of tough battles with pride. So these people were a little overconfident.
"Brother Lu said that when soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will cover them. This is true. But I have to remind you that the opponent is an army of 160,000, including 100,000 elite forbidden troops and 60,000 side soldiers. How many people do we have in the Luoyan Army? We are fully prepared.
, fifteen thousand people. One against ten, how can we stop them?" Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Lu Yi scratched his head and thought for a while and said, "What are we afraid of? A few months ago, didn't the military advisor lead a thousand people to break through the siege of hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital and beat them to death? With the military advisor here, what are we afraid of?"
Everyone nodded and said: "Yes, the military advisor is here, what are we afraid of? The military advisor has his own clever plan to defeat the enemy."
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "I am not a god. Don't think that I am omnipotent. When I escaped from the capital, I succeeded because of a strategy. If we hadn't captured important hostages and forced Lu Zhongtian to let us out of the city, we would have
How can we cross the tall city wall of the capital and escape from the prison? On the other hand, they underestimated our strength. They did not know that we had firearms. So they suffered a big loss. In terms of preparation, they were insufficient. That night they
They were not even equipped with shields to protect against arrows and firearms. This was both their mistake and their underestimation of the enemy. In fact, it was a fluke to be able to return to Luoyan Valley. Looking back afterwards, it was really dangerous and dangerous, and luck accounted for it.
A lot. However, this time is different, we can't rely on luck. If we talk about the situation that day, the reason why we were able to risk our lives and live later is because we had no worries. If we died that day, it was just me, the prince, the young prince and me.
The lives of more than a thousand brothers and family members were lost. But now, we have more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Funiu Mountain. The lives of these more than 100,000 people depend on our Luoyan Army to protect us. If we fail, the life and death of more than 100,000 people will be at stake.
, can you still leave everything to luck and be careless?"
Everyone was silent, yes. That couldn't be done. Behind us now were the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the four towns of Funiu Mountain. That was no joke. If it was just the Luoyan Army himself, it would be nothing. He died in battle.
That's it. But now that the Luoyan Army is defeated, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the Funiu Mountains will be slaughtered or turned into slaves. There was already a precedent for this when Guishan Island was occupied by officers and soldiers. Back then, Guishan Island was
After the officers and soldiers captured it, tens of thousands of people on the island were forced to move out. The court designated them as bandits and suffered discrimination and abuse. After the establishment of Luoyan Valley, people from Guishan Island fled one after another.
Because they couldn't stand the abuse and discrimination by the imperial court. It is conceivable that more than 100,000 people in Luoyan Valley will also receive the same treatment.
"Brothers, regarding this battle, you must not underestimate the enemy in the slightest. You must always remember that what we want to defend is Funiu Mountain and the more than 100,000 people in Luoyan Valley and other villages. We cannot let them be harmed.
Damage. The officers and soldiers are coming fiercely, and this time they are bound to win. Guo Xu has come in person, which shows that he must destroy us. But one thing you are right about is that they will definitely fail, and the final victory will be
It's ours." Lin Jue said solemnly.
Everyone stood up and raised their hands and said, "Commander, tell me what to do. We will fight to the end and never retreat even a step. For Funiu Mountain and Luoyan Valley, we are willing to shed our last drop of blood."
Lin Jue stood up and shouted: "Okay, what I want is what my brothers said. We cannot lose mentally, but we must pay attention to the opponent tactically. They came prepared, but we are not vegetarians.
I hope you can remember that in this battle, individuals are insignificant, and no one can make a decision at the expense of the overall interests. You must obey the command and not make arbitrary decisions. This time we are facing sixteen
With an army of ten thousand officers and soldiers, there is nothing to say if we lose. If we win, our Luoyan Army will become famous all over the world and its reputation will spread throughout Kyushu. You will also be remembered in history. For the overall situation, this battle will also determine whether our Funiu Mountain can stand or not.
However, from now on, the imperial court no longer dares to covet you. This will have decisive significance for our future battles. Do you all understand what I say?"
"Understood! Please give me the military advisor's instructions." All the generals said in unison.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Okay, then I will give the order. The first one is that Fu Niushan will enter a state of emergency mobilization today. Magistrate Gao and Deputy Commander Qin will be responsible for telling the people clearly that the war has started. 1.
Then you need to appease the people and not panic. Secondly, tell the people that we need their cooperation. We need manpower to build fortifications and provide logistical support, and the people need to do something for us. If officers and soldiers come into the mountains, they will also need
They cooperated with our orders. Don’t hesitate when we ask to evacuate, don’t be reluctant to leave for some financial housing, and leave the green hills without worrying about running out of firewood. Make these truths clear to them so as to avoid procrastination and procrastination.
schedule."
Gao Muqing and Qin Chuncao said in unison: "Yes!"
Lin Jue nodded and continued: "Second, after Funiu Mountain enters a state of comprehensive emergency, we must put an end to rumors that confuse the public. We must not be soft on those who spread panic rumors, publish statements about failed surrender, and affect the morale of the military and the people.
Brothers, you must sternly warn your brothers about this matter. Regarding the investigation and punishment of these things, Deputy Commander Ma is responsible for the investigation and punishment. You must lead your men to strictly investigate such people who spread panic and failure theories, and you must
Severe punishment will not be given, and no mercy will be tolerated."
Ma Bin cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. If he still can't control his mouth at this time, I will make him unable to speak forever."
