~.< Shuhai Pavilion >-~     Chapter 381 The Prince Meat Grinder (10)

This is Han Qi's request.

To use a vulgar metaphor, taking off your pants and farting is a waste of time.

This guy hates him.

Zheng Lang had no choice but to spend money to buy a batch of pigeons. It was really not easy. There are very few people raising pigeons now. The purpose is not to communicate, but to satisfy people's gluttons. Many people raise pigeons in the capital, and a few people raise pigeons, or other birds used for performances. But the most used performance is orioles, holding bird signs to tell fortunes and fortunes for the people.

Fortunately, there was a family in Weizhou City, so he bought all the white pigeons he raised. It was not necessarily white pigeons, there were other pigeons. Zheng Lang only ordered all the white pigeons in order to look good.

What to do?

The battle of Haoshuichuan made Han Qi feel too resentful. He disagreed and kept thinking about it. He even persuaded him, saying that it could boost morale and sacrifice justice for the soldiers. Zheng Lang negotiated with the old general and believed that although the soldiers of Gaopingzhai did not come in a hurry, they also needed a day to rest, so that they could travel dozens of miles and fight to the decisive battle. In this day and night, no matter how Ye Li met a beggar, he could not find out anybody.

Therefore agree.

But something very funny happened in a while. These pigeons were different from those raised by Yuan Hao. They were raised for delicious food. They were fat and stupid. They circled in the sky for a while and looked at the terrain. They were very strange and could not find where Weizhou was, so they flew. So, let's go back to Shichuan Village. Although they were not my master, they were fed by strangers like Shichuan Village these days. After flying for a while, they fell down. Then, they looked at the military camp outside with their little eyes in confusion. Looking at their stupid appearance, Han Qi was stunned.

The effect is still there, Yeli Yuqi has already run back to the barracks to arrange the camp quickly.

Zheng Lang is not afraid of being alerted.

The maps in this era were very unstandard. Unlike later generations, if there was a satellite cloud map, you could see it. From the Zhenrong Army and Sanchuan Village to the south, there were large green areas, that was the river valley and plains. The green areas to the north became very sparse, but there was a very eye-catching green line, which was Huluchuan. From the Zhenrong Army to the Wuyanqian Gorge, there was a very long narrow area. This narrow area is on the map, and the area placed in the actual wide area can reach more than ten miles wide.

When we arrived at Wuyanqian Gorge, the green area became wider and narrower, and the narrowest part was Xiaoguan. To the north was the important military town of Xixia, and then to the north, it gradually wider, until the south of Mingsha City, where Huluchuan and the Yellow River meet.

But in Wuyanqian Gorge, although it is a round and wide area, the sparse mountains and plains in this area blend with each other. Between the plains and mountains in the east are Tianshengzhai and Qianxingzhai. There are some fragmented mountains and plains in the southwest, and the most prominent one is Shimenchuan.

There are some low-tall mountains and low hills to the east of Shimenchuan, and another army of Xixia ambushed somewhere. Although the other general Cheng Keshang was careful and sent many scouts to strictly block the place. However, if the arrangements were made in advance, a few people were sent to hide beside a sand pit on a cliff, wearing thick warm fur clothes, covering their bodies with dead grass and thorns, and lie here for a day and a night, condescending, what else can't be seen?

Although it is difficult, there may not be many places to ambush the Song army from the south. There are only a few places, a few people are ambushed in one place. What information can’t be obtained? It’s just first-hand information!

From Wuyanqian Gorge to the west, there is a faint green color, which is Wuyanxia, ​​leading to Tiandu Mountain. Between Wuyanqian Gorge and Shimen Gorge is Mount Sumeru. Shimen Gorge cannot see the green channel on the satellite cloud map. No matter how big it is, it is originally a narrower mountain road that passes through the mountains. It is a mountain road, not a plain or a river valley, but it is much closer to traveling from Qianxia to Zhenrong Village, and it also has a unique strategic position.

Therefore, at the exit of Shimenxia in the Song Dynasty, the old pass of the Tang Dynasty was built, which is the current confrontation site. In addition, Pingxia in the Wuyanqianxia, ​​Lingpingzhai in the south of Pingxia, Chongningzhai between Lingpingzhai and Gaopingzhai. Queen Liang was anxious.

Instead of taking it away, he was defeated and returned. The Song army was at the junction of Wuyan Gorge and Qiang Gorge. Yeli met Qixiu's second temporary military camp to build Dangqiang Village. The two roads leading to Tiandu Mountains between Dangqiang Village and Xiaoguan built Tongyuan Village and Shengqiang Village. It was these camps that forced the people of Xixia to abandon Tiandu Mountain, making Tiandu Mountain the Xi'an Prefecture of the Song Dynasty. When the Song Dynasty's territory was at its peak, it even expanded to the Western Regions. But success was Tong Guan, and Tong Guan, was defeated. Tong Guan, was the main responsibility for that maritime alliance.

There is another green area in the southwest of Shimenchuan, but there are many mountains separated from Shimenchuan and Wuyan Gorge, which leads to a large army. After passing through a long mountain road, there is another green area. The western end of this green area is Liufan Fort. Cheng Keshang divided his troops south and went on this road. Because there are heavy mountains, it is not very strategic. Of course, if the enemy is slowly climbing the mountain, the scouts will not be able to see it like a blind man, which is still zero.

Thinking of this, Zheng Lang was moved again.

He didn't have the courage to let him raise all the troops and fight against Yuan Hao's whole country's troops.

But how would it be to repair the village fortresses and rebuild the later Pingxia City, Shimen City, Lingping Village, Dangqiang Village, Tongyuan Village, and Chongning Village one by one?

After thinking about it for a while, I still felt that it was inappropriate. The troops were too scattered and very dangerous. I couldn't help but sigh and continue to compress and set up a bus on Jingyuan Road.

...

A flock of pigeons was stupid and gave them freedom, but they didn't choose, and they insisted on coming back to become a delicious meal for people. But they were scared by Yelihui. Last time they were defeated, they felt sad and some of them were all soldiers. So the big scouts went out to see them. Not only did they send their own scouts, but they also ordered Cheng Ke to win over Guang's scouts.

Even the scouts inspected Tiansheng Village, but after half a day and a night passed, no one could see around them. Not to mention the ambush of the Song Dynasty, even the scouts and the people did not see one.

Yeli Yuqi felt that he was very miserable.

How troublesome was it used to be?

As long as you give some small money, those tribes will not need to send a message to them, and you will know every move of the Song army. Now that the defense line of the Song Dynasty is out, it is still like a blind man.

Then I thought about it again that I could not find Zheng Lang's scout, he was calculating the strength of the Song Dynasty.

He had never expected Han Qi's troops to make Zheng Lang speechless again at Han Qi. This guy was moved after hearing Zheng Lang's plan. Before the battle, he was at least nine points to win, so he quickly ordered Qin Fenglu to transfer another 10,000 troops over.

As Zheng Lang said, what should I do if more than 20,000 troops, plus local foreign troops and archers, and more than 10,000 people be placed on Qinfeng Road?

Zheng Lang didn't know that he was sincerely working, or after hearing the plan, he sent troops to grab the credit.

However, some are too late, but not ineffective. As the battle begins, Jingyuan Road will move most of the troops northward, and Han Qi's later troops will take over and guard various villages one by one. We must also prevent sudden attacks from Xixia.

But some of the troops were in Qinzhou, which was relatively close to Jingyuan Road. They advanced lightly and had nearly 5,000 people. In addition to the army pushing north, this is the origin of the more than 30,000 Song army that Cheng Keshang saw. But more than that, in addition to this unit and Zheng Lang's troops, Jingyuan Road could also withdraw more than 20,000 people, plus Fan Zhongyan's 10,000 troops. This is the real main force.

They will not disappear, in a place that Yeli met Qi never expected!

These Yeli didn't know about it, so he calculated the army on Jingyuan Road.

He never thought that the Qin Fenglu army was either the army of Huanqing Road. Fan Zhongyan wanted to get a bargain. He seemed to gather many Song troops in Huanzhou and set off towards Baibao City along the Maling River. This was Lingwu Avenue, leading to Lingzhou, with a total length of nearly 500 miles. It also played an important role in the early Song Dynasty, but after the two countries had a feud, they set up barriers layer by layer. Many sections of this road gradually became annihilated because they were uninhabited for a long time.

But the speed of the march made Yeli unable to stand it even when he got to Qiqi. When you climb to Lingzhou, your son would also hold his grandson.

This timid and cautious person was excluded from his plan. When the Battle of Shimenchuan ended, it was guaranteed that Fan Zhongyan would retreat faster than the rabbit.

Therefore, only the Song army on Jingyuan Road was calculated.

The troops were 70,000, plus 10,000 foreign soldiers, totaling 80,000. It seemed that thousands of people were sent to build Xiyao City. I wonder if they had come back. Even if they came back, they were these troops. Archers and the people could only play a role at their doorsteps, such as those who were mobilized for a long distance and could not participate. In the last battle, they bit themselves, and the Song Dynasty also suffered casualties. So many camps really did not stay in the army? In addition, there were only 40,000 to 50,000 troops, which was consistent with the current intelligence.

No matter what conspiracy is, someone must implement it.

The Song army cannot be underestimated, but it is by no means the army of the Han and Tang dynasties in ancient times. If you want Huo Qubing to travel a thousand miles, you want Li Jing to spend 3,000 or more, go to dream.

He didn't know that Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan had 30,000 people. Isn't this a life?

But why does this boy have to put pigeons?

I thought about Zhang Yuan for a night but didn't think about it. The next day, Yeli met Qiqi and did something very interesting. He came to Shimen Village and called out and asked Zheng Lang to come out to meet him.

It seems that the two of them are a good pair of friends, and they haven't seen each other for a few days, so I miss you very much.

Yeliyuqi asked, "Mr. Zheng, why did you release pigeons yesterday?"

"King Yeli, where does your subordinates seem to have tens of thousands of troops?" Zheng Lang asked without answering a question.

Yeli Yuqi said, "Please guess."

"Then you guess, too."

"Are you bluffing?"

"Whatever you think."

Without speaking out, Yeli Yuqi had to send a wide range of scouts to inspect again. This time, the investigation was more detailed, including Huluchuan, Wuyanqianxia and Shimenchuan, which were dozens of miles acres of mountainous areas near Shimenchuan. But the result was the same as yesterday, and nothing was seen.

However, Cheng Keshang brought news that a large amount of materials had been transported into Gaoping Village of the Song Dynasty, waiting for his instructions.

Yeli met Qiqi and Zhang Yuan to discuss it, which seemed to be a false alarm. He could see the terrain without looking at the strength of the troops. Behind him were mountains, but the entire Shimenxia was under his control, including the entire Mount Sumeru, patrolling day and night. Even if there were ambushers coming, he had nearly 40,000 troops in his hands and made defenses in advance. How many Song troops would arrive to defeat him?

The Chengkeshang tribe was buried in the unknown mountain. Although it was buried in the mountain, there were many plains around it, which was conducive to the conflict and advancement of the cavalry. How many Song troops could defeat the Chengkeshang tribe?

So I gave an instruction, be careful and wait and see what happened, and everything was as planned.

The decisive battle has finally arrived.

But it was not the time chosen by Yeli Yuqi.

Because we had to keep our energy and prepare to bypass the Shimen River, the two armies attacked the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty. Ye Liyuqi ordered that he would not attack the village today.

Zheng Lang was more at ease and asked the soldiers to rest and prepare for a battle before dawn.

Then call the generals.

The other two parts have been planned long ago. The key is his part, which is to pursue the Nori tribe, or turn around and attack the Cong Sheng tribe from three sides.

Zheng Lang hangs the map on the wall, and Zheng's painting method is relatively accurate.

Cheng Keshang lurked with the nameless mountain, because later generations seemed to belong to the jurisdiction of Sanying Town, Guyuan. Zheng Lang named Sanying Mountain, and the plain river in front of the mountain was named Sanying River.

Others did not know the meaning of the name, and thought that Zheng Lang might have the opportunity to attack the three armies together. Using the Three Army Mountain seemed too rustic, so they changed it to the word "ying".

The old generation said: "The number of troops divided depends on how much lethal gunpowder can be."

Yeli never expected that his army was camping on a crater that was about to erupt.

When the gunpowder was transported to Jingyuan, the three of them felt very distressed when they saw its power. They used stone throwing machines to throw them with limited lethality, and the range of the stone throwing machines was not long and they were not accurate enough. Moreover, most of the enemies did not attack the village, or attacked one camp, attracting the Song army to rescue and surround the site to attack the aid, but God knows which village they would attack?

Although the big bosses in the court were worried about nothing, it was not unreasonable. Since the troops from all over the country came to attack a camp, even if there was gunpowder, the village would not be easy to defend. Then the gunpowder would be obtained by Yuan Hao and he would get it, which would be like a tiger.

Burying on the ground is simply a joke. How can you hide it from others? How can you know that Yuan Hao will set up camp here? It would be difficult to guess if Li Jing came over.

After accusing Li Lingming, Lao Zong and Zheng Lang both lit up their eyes. With this prince in hand, they were not afraid that Ye Li Yuqi would not send troops. Although Shimenchuan was large, the exit was not large. As long as the village chose the correct location and there was not much space left for Ye Li Yuqi, they could determine the location where he camped.

So, under the pretext of preparing food and grass, the army was transferred to Zhenrong Village, leaving only 5,000 people. The court transported a total of 1,200 stones of gunpowder in several batches. It was scattered in various villages and forts, and transferred more than 900 stones of gunpowder to Shimen Village.

The understanding of gunpowder is still limited at this time. It is used more in civil use, fireworks and firecrackers are also used in military use, and is mostly used for arson, so it is called gunpowder, not **.

The reason for this is that there is no emphasis on sealing.

The lethality of gunpowder when it explodes is the strong air pressure generated. If it is nine hundred stones of gunpowder, under the conditions of complete reaching, it is theoretically enough to blow up the main peak of Mount Tai into rubble. This is a theory, and it would be good if it can actually exert its true power by one thousandth.

Therefore, the stronger the sealing property of the gunpowder, the better, and the larger the better.

When Yeli Yuqi was waiting for reinforcements from Lingzhou and Xingqing Prefecture to arrive, Zheng Lang made some arrangements and customized some iron sheets, large oil papers, and animal skins. A huge bag of seventy or eighty stones was added to it, and then many iron nails and caltrops were stuffed into it. The animal skins were wrapped with oil paper and animal skins, sealed with iron sheets, and the iron sheets were woven with oil wax at the interface. A total of twelve bags were buried.

The fountain was led out with a bamboo tube, and he was afraid that Ye Li would dig the tunnel, so he dug the bamboo tube and became suspicious, so he circled it, passed through the foot of the low mountain in the north, and walked around the city. It was a bit far away, so the fountain was very thick and wrapped in oil paper. The bamboo tube interface was continued to be sealed with oil wax.

But the enemy will camp and cut down wooden stakes, so they dig a little deeper and lead more bamboo tubes. Even if one bamboo tube is penetrated by the wooden stake and the fuse is interrupted, there are other bamboo tubes.

The terminal of the fuse is in the basement of the empty house behind Zheng Lang's Central Camp.

The reason for this is that I am afraid of fire. Seal with a high platform. Even if there is a fire, the fuse in the basement will not suddenly ignite.

So after Aino Li met Qi and set up a camp, Zheng Lang, Han Qi and Lao Zong hurried down to check.

If you have been broken by a wooden stake, you can try to pull the fuze gently, and it can be pulled back after interruption. The result made them very satisfied. No fuze can be pulled back. It is possible that the wooden stake presses the bamboo tube and crushes the fuze to death, but it proves that most fuzes will work.
To be continued...
