"Brother Tong, we've been in the mountains for a month, let's go down the mountain and grab something to eat."
The Hengduan Mountains at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan and Guizhou have treacherous terrain and vertical and horizontal mountains.A man squatted on the ground and frowned, gnawed on the wild vegetable stick in his hand, and suggested to a burly man beside him."
Third brother, you are putting up with it, now the wind is tight.If the Huaxing army finds out that we are hiding here, the army will definitely come and destroy us.It's not that you don't know, the spies didn't send back the news a few days ago, and now that Yunguichuan is under the rule of the Huaxing Army, this is no longer a place where there are no three things. ”Another man kept observing the terrain in front of him, and loudly dissuaded him.These three people are the three people who designed and wiped out Li Shixian's army, Tong Ronghai, Peng Dashun, and Yu Shilong.After escaping from the Yongchuan battlefield in Sichuan, he went south along the official road from Neijiang to Yunnan.Along the way, they constantly recruited troops and horses, looting grain and grass.Now, although they are hidden in the wilderness all day, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers following the three of them.Although a lot of grain and grass were accumulated in the past, the daily consumption of tens of thousands of people was staggering.Now I only eat one dry meal a day, and the remaining two meals are all converted into wild vegetables.Although there were complaints from soldiers, there were no major riots on the whole.They had already waded from Yichang in Hubei to Sichuan, and they had long been accustomed to life in the mountains.Most of these tens of thousands of people are old brothers brought out by Yichang, and the military spirit is also very cohesive, "Second brother, what the third brother said is not bad."
If you just hide like this, you won't be able to run out of food and grass in a few days.If we don't need the Huaxing army to exterminate us, we ourselves will be in turmoil. ”Tong Ronghai stared at the map, pondered for a long time, and finally spoke."
What do you mean by that big brother" Peng Dashun frowned, and secretly felt that he couldn't spend it like this anymore."
You see, this place is only more than 100 kilometers away from Zhaotong Mansion in Yunnan.If you are in a hurry, you can reach it in three days.A few days ago, I had sent spies to investigate the situation in the city, and the Huaxing Army had only stationed one regiment in Zhaotong Mansion.We might as well just do this and rob the granary of Zhaotong Mansion, which is enough for our brothers to eat for a year.I've also seen this mountain range, and there is enough water.Although Yunguichuan is already under the jurisdiction of the Huaxing Army, this is a place of three things after all.We are here to be the king of the mountain, drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat in a big way, and divide the gold in a big scale.It's better than being captured and sent to a desert island. ”Tong Ronghai pointed to the map and introduced it, with bursts of excitement on his face."
Big brother, the combat effectiveness of the Huaxing Army should not be underestimated.This regiment also has 1,500 soldiers and horses, can we take it" Yu Shilong was already frightened by the Huaxing army, and secretly doubted in his heart."
What are you afraid of, we now have tens of thousands of people, ten times more than them.And this siege, we are also outwitted.Now that the southwest is pacified, it is the time for the Huaxing Army to relax its vigilance.During the day, the two of you took 5,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom were changed into the clothes of the common people and mixed into the city.I took 5,000 men and horses to meet outside the city, leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses here to meet them.When the night came, we signaled the fireworks outside the city.If the Huaxing army is caught off guard, it will definitely be able to completely annihilate this force.When the grain and grass in the city were plundered, we immediately returned to the mountains.This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, hidden and safe, even if the Huaxing army catches up, it can't find the way into the mountain.Even if we find a way into the mountains, we won't be able to break our camp. ”Tong Ronghai pointed to the map and laid it out, sounding no problem at all.They also obtained a large amount of guns and ammunition from Li Shixian, although they were not as advanced as the Huaxing Army.But suppression with an absolute number of soldiers, coupled with night raids, is not a problem at all."
Good idea, I agree."
Yu Shilong pondered for a while, and then raised his hand to be perverted."
Big brother, third brother, you have to think about it.If we really rob the grain and grass and kill the Huaxing army, we will have no chance to turn back.Huaxingjun will definitely regard us as a thorn in the side, and will never be soft on us again. ”Peng Dashun was a little drumming in his heart, after all, the current situation was obvious.It is a matter of time before the Huaxing Army unifies the whole country, even if it is the days of bandits, it will not be able to live for many years."
Second brother, don't think about Zhao'an anymore.Song Jiang didn't recruit an anymore, but as a result, the brothers died and were injured.In the end, although he became a big official, he was still killed by traitors.A bandit for one day, a bandit for life.Although Qiao Zhiqing is now aggressively absorbing the Taiping Army, this is only a contingency strategy in times of war.When the world is unified, he will definitely purge those who have a criminal record at the beginning.As the so-called cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden.Don't look at the current spring breeze of the generals, maybe they will be purged one day. ”Tong Ronghai doesn't trust anyone now, and he has no intention of surrendering.Fight or die."
Well, since you have all decided, brother naturally has nothing to say."
Dry" "Dry" Peng Dashun made up his mind, and the three of them let out a long roar.Zhaotong is an important gateway of Yunnan Province to Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, and an important channel for the Central Plains culture to enter Yunnan."
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell."
Zhaotong City is very lively today, and there are constantly horse gangs and merchants outside the city entering the door."
Stop, stop, routine checks."
A group of Huaxing troops guarding the city gate stopped the caravan and prepared to start inspecting the living creatures to prevent the entry of mountain bandits and bandits."
Master Jun, what are you doing here, we are all serious businessmen.It's all good tea on horseback, I'll open it and show you. ”The leader of the horse team nodded and smiled, unloaded the bag from the horse, and opened his mouth wide.It's black inside, and it's indeed tea."
Open all the other bags," the patrolling captain commanded coldly."
Master Jun, this tea has been packaged with great difficulty, so you can make it convenient."
The leader of the horse team hurriedly took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the captain's hand.With a hand, there are about ten taels."
Let's go, let's go.I'm in a good mood today, Master Jun, so I don't care about you. ”The captain of the patrol waved his hand impatiently and motioned for the horse team to enter the city."
Thank you, thank you."
The leader of the horse team hurriedly led the horse team into the city, constantly touching the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve."
Second brother, it was really dangerous just now" The leader whispered to the middle-aged man beside him, and his heart still couldn't stop trembling."
You see, not all the people in the Huaxing army are law-abiding, and all the soldiers are virtuous."
The middle-aged man whispered back, obviously despising the captain's performance just now.At sunset, one of the soldiers guarding the city gate couldn't help but find the captain and reported, "Boss, there are too many merchants today, and there are a lot of fresh faces. ”"It's not good to have more businessmen, which proves that the days of peace have come.Don't think about it, the southwest has been pacified by our Huaxing army, who would dare to make trouble in the city" The captain commanded with a nonchalant face, and immediately went to the camp of the city tower with a pair of people.As the night grew darker, the streets of the city fell silent.Figures outside the north of the city flickered, and there was a lot of black pressure, and I don't know how many people there were.Suddenly, there was a "whoosh" cannon sound, and a beautiful firework burst into the sky."
Bang, bang, bang" After a while, gunshots rang out from inside the city.And the sky-high fire, which was unusually dazzling in the night sky."
Brothers, rush, grab the food, go back to the cottage to eat and drink spicy" The leading man waved his gun, and suddenly torches rang out, lighting up the entire night sky."
Woo woo woo", "dong dong dong", "there are ambushes, thieves, there are enemy troops" The soldiers patrolling quickly sounded the alarm, and the horns and thunder drums in the city sounded in unison.The Huaxing Army, a company stationed at the north gate, quickly woke up from his sleep, and as soon as he came out of the military tent, he saw that the city wall was brightly lit.Thousands of torches surrounded the tent."
Who are you and what the hell do you want to do" The company commander in the military tent shouted, squinting ahead, trying to delay for a while and let his men pick up the guy."
Long time no see, brothers of Huaxingjun."
The leading man laughed, and when the words fell, he knocked on the foreign gun in his hand.Gunshots rang out everywhere, and bullets cut beautiful arcs in the night sky, smashing like raindrops.On the north gate, before the Huaxing army of this company could resist, it was covered by bullets and fell in a pool of blood.The north gate was wide open, and all the soldiers and horses outside the city poured into the city.The regiment headquarters stationed in the city was also awakened by the sudden gunshot, and the regiment commander Zhou Shanhu came out of the camp with a gun and yelled outside, "What the hell is going on?"
"Report to the regiment commander, it's not good."
Suddenly, a large number of enemy troops came to attack outside the city, and there were tens of thousands of them," the herald who had just received the news hurriedly ran over and passed the news."
What, how is it possible, aren't all the enemy forces in the southwest exterminated" Before Zhou Shanhu could react, he saw fierce gunfire from the east, west, and south."
Quick, quick, notify Zuo Youying to assemble and exterminate the enemy army for Lao Tzu."
Zhou Shanhu shouted at the heralds, and when the soldiers and horses of the two battalions were all assembled, he rushed out of the camp.The middle camp is responsible for guarding the four city gates today, and it seems that something is not good.However, each city gate was guarded by four machine guns, and Zhou Shanhu was not worried that the enemy could capture it at once.Although the moonlight was high, Zhou Shanhu didn't know which direction to rush to.He originally became the head of the regiment by daring to fight and rush, and let him make his own decisions at this time.That's just bravery, but no strategy."
Regiment commander, the enemy situation is unknown, let's stick to the camp, it's not too late to rush at dawn" Battalion Commander Zuo nervously dissuaded, looking at the city where fires were raging everywhere all the way, a bad feeling floated in his heart."
I'm afraid that he will be a ball, the person who can kill me Zhou Shanhu has not been born yet" Zhou Shanhu scolded, and rushed to the north gate with the team as he spoke.This is the place where the gunshots first spread, and Zhou Shanhu judged that the main force of the enemy army must be here.The north gate was indeed a place where the enemy army gathered, and at this time more than 6,000 men and horses had gathered
