Chapter 1031 The fate of the traitorous chieftain
In such an important place, as long as the IQ is above the average level, it is impossible not to pay attention to its safety. What's more, King Talong led his troops to conquer the south and fight in the north. When Dongwu attacked Mengyang, the chieftain of Mengyang intercepted the food route, which led to the great defeat. King Dongwu at that time, if it weren't for the Ming Dynasty Officials who are like local pigs will definitely tell the truth if they suddenly give orders to stop the pursuit. With this lesson in mind, the protection of this treasure well can be said to be quite strict.
Between Mengmi and Baojing, there is only a narrow official road for a section of the road. On both sides are the most common high mountains in northern Myanmar. It is impossible to enter the army in the primeval forest. Therefore, King Talong chose Baojing as the material distribution center. In addition to placing an elite force to guard it, his army in Mengmi spread out, completely blocking the passage from Mengmi to Baojing. Unless the Ming army defeated King Long's army, it would be impossible to send troops to attack Baojing.
However, what King Thalong did not know was that in an abandoned mine about twenty miles south of Baojing, a dense army was stationed. Judging from the costumes, it was the Ming Dynasty army.
Outside the mine, on the road leading to the official road outside, there are many people hiding, and two generals, a man and a woman, are patrolling here.
"Sir, everything is normal here. Three Dongwu people passed by and were captured. No one escaped!"
The young general nodded after hearing this, and just when he was about to say something, the female general suddenly said: "Husband, the war on Meng Mi's side is about to begin."
This female general is none other than Ma Zhang in the chat group, Zhang Fengyi, the daughter-in-law of Qin Liangyu. The other person she calls her husband is naturally Ma Xianglin. When he heard this, his face suddenly became excited, and he immediately turned around and said, "Let's go back to mother!"
In the Chinese army tent, Zhonglie Bo Qin Liangyu was talking to a military general. He heard her say with a smile: "In the past, our Baigan Army and the Qi Family Army once joined forces to fight. The Qi Family Army back then was mostly a firearms unit. Now, we The White Gun Army has once again joined forces with the Firearms Force, and this time we will definitely be able to fulfill His Majesty’s will!”
The general in front of him was a general named Wei Shouze. Under his command were a thousand fusiliers. After being trained in Kunming, they secretly went south with the White Army. After hearing this, he couldn't help but humbly said: "Uncle Zhonglie, I'm so grateful. How can this army of the last general be as good as the Qi family's army back then!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and immediately added: "However, the equipment under the general's command is the most powerful military weapon at the moment. Even if it is not as good as the Qi family army back then, he will fight with Uncle Zhonglie to deal with these Dongwu Army, that’s more than enough!”
Qin Liangyu listened and nodded with a smile. The Qi Jiajun back then was actually no longer the real Qi Jiajun. The military spirit has passed away, and the tactics, adaptability, etc. are all completely different. Otherwise, it would be a dream for Jianlu to defeat the real Qi family army!
The army in front of her and the weapons were so sharp that she had never seen them before. When she first saw this firearms army's drill, she was truly surprised. Especially when you lift a gun that requires two people to hold it together, you can tell at a glance that this is just the right weapon to defeat our elephant army.
When fighting in the south, the roads are inconvenient. If it is artillery, it will be very difficult to move with the army. Especially here in Dongwu, the traffic situation is even worse. But this carrying gun is several times more powerful than an ordinary musket, but it can be carried by someone. Such a sharp weapon is undoubtedly one of the most powerful weapons in attacking Dongwu this time. I don’t know who came up with this genius idea, which combines the sharpness of artillery with the convenience of transportation.
Qin Liangyu still remembered this time very clearly. When she asked in shock, who was so smart that he invented this kind of gun for fighting in the south? Min Hongxue and Min Ge also expressed admiration and replied that he was the emperor!
After hearing this answer, Qin Liangyu felt it was natural after the initial shock. Because in the past two years, she has been paying attention to Emperor Chongzhen, who appreciated her very much and was as kind as the sea. When she heard the incredible things about the young emperor, and was shocked again and again, she no longer felt strange about this gun-raising!
While the two were talking, Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi excitedly entered the tent and reported the situation to Meng Mi.
Qin Liangyu was also quite happy when he heard this. After the army discovered that King Long was leading his army north to Mengmi, they expected that he would place the grain and grass distribution center in Baojing, so they had quietly hidden in this mine for a long time. Now that everything is being implemented as planned, that means waiting for Meng Mi to give Dongwu's army a huge defeat. When morale is low, they can capture Baojing in one fell swoop and give Dongwu's army the most powerful blow. Next, Dongwu's army will definitely collapse, and Dongwu's main force will be destroyed in one battle!
If the Baojing war had started before Meng Mi started fighting, King Long would definitely lead the army to fight back and open up a way out. In this way, the war on Meng Mi's side would not be able to start, and many goals would not be achieved, while Baojing's side would not be able to start. The pressure will be unprecedentedly huge. The best time is naturally planned, when Dongwu's army is exhausted in Mengmi, defeated and morale is low.
In the past, this kind of fighter opportunity would have been difficult to grasp. But with Zhang Fengyi here, you can provide any kind of cooperation you want, so naturally you have to choose the best time.
When Qin Liangyu and others began to prepare for the attack on Baojing, Meng Mi's battle finally began.
This time, there were no defenses outside the city, and Donggo's army was able to reach directly under the city wall. Although King Talong really wanted to capture Mengmi at once, he issued a strict order and asked his men to go all out. All military generals were supervising the battle, and even the supervising teams directly under King Talong were lined up. Anyone who dared to retreat would be killed without mercy. Although Mengmi's city wall is far from tall, the Ming army was prepared to fight, so how could it be said that it could be defeated with a single blow?
The roar of artillery, rolling logs and stones, golden juice and wolf fang slaps, etc., when it comes to the tricks of defending the city, the Han people say they are second, and no one dares to say they are first. Dongwu's army suffered heavy casualties, but they were unable to even attack the city. Seeing the sunset, King Long's face was so gloomy that he could squeeze out water. The ministers who were watching the battle with him were also silent. The combat power displayed by the Ming army at the top of Mengmi City was far beyond the comparison with the chieftains who defended the city they had dealt with before!
After Ming Jin withdrew his troops, the king held a military meeting. King Talong stared coldly at Master Jiu Zhao and asked in a cold voice: "Didn't you say that these Ming troops are just deserters? Why are they so powerful?"
Master Jiuzhao knew that today's siege of the city had failed miserably, and he, Prince Long, was afraid that he was looking for a scapegoat. When this question came to him, the situation was a little bad. He quickly stepped out and replied: "They are indeed just refugees. Everyone else should be able to prove this..."
Having said this, he pointed to the chieftain leaders who surrendered with him from the Ming army. Regarding this, he is not afraid of blaming him, because it is the truth and he did not lie to King Long. However, when he pointed along, he found that none of the chieftain leaders were looking at him. Instead, they were looking at the ground with their heads lowered. They looked so focused that they seemed to want to see the flowers on the ground!
Master Jiu Zhao couldn't help but feel very angry when he saw that no one spoke uprightly and took the initiative to prove that he was right. However, with King Long staring at him at this time, he could not be angry with others first. He just turned around in his mind and reported again: "Your Highness, the reason why today's battle has such a result is because Mingming The army defends the city regardless of cost, your highness, rest assured, if the Ming army continues to defend like today, I can guarantee that Meng Mi’s city defense equipment will be used up in a few days!”
After hearing this, King Long thought about today's battle and felt that this was indeed the case. The Ming army on top of the city is simply a bit of a prodigal! If he were to command the city defense himself, the consumption like today would only occur at a critical moment in the war. Otherwise, all the city defense equipment would be used up, and the result could be imagined. From this point of view, the Ming army in the city does not have much experience in defending the city. I am afraid that what Jiu Zhaoshi said before is not false!
Although Prince Long figured this out, he still couldn't be happy. In today's battle, the losses were really heavy, and it made him feel a little painful. In order to capture Meng Mi in one fell swoop, all those sent out were elite men! If it takes a few days, how can I get the military power to continue to frighten Zhou Bang?
Thinking like this, he stared at Master Jiu Zhao, and suddenly he had an idea, and he said in a cold voice: "Gu Xu and others have taken refuge in me, Dongwu, and have given you many benefits. Now that Meng Mi's war is going on, you and others are also You have to do your best to let me see your sincerity. In the battle tomorrow, you will be the vanguard and the first to attack the city. As long as you capture Meng Mi, I will not hesitate to reward you!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't allow Master Jiu Zhao and the others to tell him apart, and simply threw up his sleeves and left.
At this time, Jiu Zhaoshi and other chieftain leaders were a little dumbfounded. They naturally knew how much defensive equipment Mengmi City had stored. Anyway, with today's consumption, it would be no problem to sustain it for another day or two. If he led his troops to attack the city tomorrow, wouldn't it mean that he would sacrifice the lives of his men to consume the Ming army's defense equipment? After a day of fighting, how many subordinates can you still have?
When I took refuge in King Togotalong, wasn't it because I wanted to preserve my own strength and not be wiped out! But in this case, if he really does what King Long asked him to do, wouldn't it be the end of betraying the Ming Dynasty? It would also be the end of the entire army being annihilated, and he would also end up with an unjust reputation!
At this moment, several chieftain leaders couldn't help but feel regretful. If they had known this, they might as well not have surrendered! At least he proved his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and at least after trying his best, he could retreat to the city! No matter what, it is better to defend the city than to attack it! Although both options may result in the total annihilation of the army, at least the reputation is preserved.
That night, many chieftains wanted to see him, King Long, in an attempt to get him to take back his life. But King Talong had already expected this. Anyway, no matter how he asked to see him, he would just say: no see!
If you don't see him, you won't be able to appeal, and the excuses you've been thinking about for a long time won't work, which makes all the chieftains very anxious. At this moment, they probably understood that in the eyes of King Long, even Donggo's civilian husband was more valuable than them. Otherwise, driving the civilians to attack the city will be less efficient, but it will still consume the Ming army's defensive materials.
Or maybe King Long wanted them to attack the city well, or he wanted to compensate them, and later sent a decree, saying that they would have enough food to eat, and they would also try to make up for the siege materials as much as possible.
When dawn came again the next day, King Long still refused to meet Jiuzhao Master and the chieftains. Instead, he sent a supervising team. The meaning was obvious. In desperation, Jiuzhao Master and other chieftain troops had no choice but to After a hearty meal, he carried enough siege materials and began to attack the city.
As soon as they saw these chieftain troops who had surrendered to Dong Wu coming to attack the city, the Ming army on top of the city immediately put in all their efforts to deal with these traitors without the need for orders from officers at all levels. Suddenly, under Mengmi City, corpses piled up like mountains.
King Talong was watching all this from the platform in the distance, but he just sneered, not as gloomy as yesterday. He could see that the effect of sending these chieftain troops to attack the city and consume the Ming army's supplies was surprisingly good. He could see it from a distance with the naked eye. The Ming army's city defense equipment was consumed today more than yesterday. many!
At the end of the day, Meng Mi still hadn't captured it. On top of the city, the flag of the Ming Dynasty was still fluttering in the wind. Less than half of the retired chieftain army remained. The chieftain leaders, such as Master Jiu Zhao and others, were almost in tears! Half of those lost men were killed by the Ming army at the top of Mengmi City, and the other half were executed by the supervising team behind them. At this time, they had already experienced the ruthlessness of King Long. It can be foreseen that in tomorrow's siege, these chieftain troops will definitely be the vanguard.
King Long's intention was very clear. Either all the Ming army's defensive equipment on the city wall would be consumed, or their army of chieftains would be consumed. Anyway, it would be the end if only one side was consumed.
At the critical moment of life and death, Jiu Zhaoshi and other chieftain leaders no longer cared about regrets, united to make trouble, and strongly demanded an interview with him, King Long.
The officers and soldiers of the Ming army at the top of Mengmi City were just like a crowd. Seeing the camp of Dongwu's army, there was a commotion, and they broke out in a noisy manner.
However, what made them a little regretful was that there was no real quarrel at the Dongwu camp. After a while, it finally became quiet.
The next day, the Ming army on top of the city discovered that the traitors were the first to attack the city again. What was a little different from yesterday was that among the traitors, there were many Dongwu soldiers in ragged clothes, or they could not be considered soldiers at all, just Dongwu civilians with a stick or a spear. But overall, the number of people attacking the city was much higher than yesterday.
For the Ming army at the top of the city, those who came to attack from outside the city were enemies. What they had to do was to kill the enemies and prevent them from boarding the city.
After another day of fighting, King Long finally showed a smile as he watched the battle. The Ming army in Mengmi City had obvious signs that their defense equipment was almost exhausted. This quantity is consistent with the quantity previously provided by Master Jiu Zhao.
Thanks to Ziqing Yurong for the reward!
