Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 138
"I am very familiar with the allusion of two peaches killing three men. What exactly is your Majesty going to do?" Xia Wanchun asked.

Li Cunming smiled and said: "Two peaches kill three scholars, that's actually what you literati say. In plain English, it means that there are too many monks and too little porridge. I decided to give Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Li Dingguo two duke titles and one marquis. Whoever surrenders to the Ming Dynasty first, Whoever is the Duke of the country, the one who surrenders in the end can only be the Lord Marquis."

Xia Wanchun said: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the three of them will fight among themselves?"

"Internal strife is the best, so that we can defeat others without fighting. Moreover, if the Daxi Army starts to fight internally, I can calmly wipe out the rebels in Shadingzhou without having to worry about the Daxi Army coming to restrain me."

Li Cunming smiled, and said again: "But once this plan is implemented, the three of Sun Kewang will fight among themselves. I am worried that Li Dingguo will be killed by Sun Kewang, so I want to send a capable person to Kunming. Who should I send?"

Xia Wanchun said: "If Your Majesty does not dislike my young age, I am willing to serve as an envoy!"

Li Cunming said frankly: "I am well aware of your talent. But going to Kunming this time will be dangerous. If the Daxi Army really has internal strife, Sun Kewang may take his anger on you..."

Before Li Cunming could finish speaking, Xia Wanchun knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you keep calling me a 'little hero'. I really don't know why. But since Your Majesty regards me as a hero, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death? "

"Okay, I did not misunderstand you!" Li Cunming helped Xia Wanchun up, and told him, "When you go to Kunming, find Song Xiance first. This person is very resourceful, and maybe he can help you in a crisis."

"I understand!"

Xia Wanchun received the imperial edict, made preparations, and left Xuanwei with a few followers.

Li Cunming looked at his back and sighed: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born in youth, Xia Wanchun will definitely become the pillar of our Ming Dynasty! Hey, the crown prince is only two years older than Xia Wanchun, but his talent and character are too far behind."

Watching Xia Wanchun go away, Li Cunming called Qi Dazhuang and ordered: "The army will go south to Ami Prefecture, and I will wipe out the rebels in Shadingzhou within half a month!"

Because Yunnan is mountainous, the roads are difficult, and it is easy to get lost. Li Cunming ordered Qi Dazhuang to be the vanguard, leading [-] new troops to open the way, while the army marched steadily towards Ami Prefecture step by step.

……

Qi Dazhuang's army traveled all the way south, found many local guides, and built bridges when they encountered mountains and rivers.Three days later, after passing Qujing, soldiers came to Lu Liangwei.

To the south of Lu Liangwei is Maitreya, the north gate of Ami Prefecture. If you take this place, you can attack Maitreya, and then drive straight into Ami Prefecture to threaten Ami Prefecture.

In view of Luliangwei's very important strategic position, Sha Dingzhou deployed [-] chieftain troops here, camped at key points, and firmly controlled the access to and from Luliangwei.

The person in charge of guarding Lu Liangwei is named Tang Jiabin, this person is Wan Cailian's brother-in-law, a student, after reading a few books, he calls himself Zhuge Liang and is very conceited.

When the vanguard of the Ming army came to Lu Liangwei, Tang Jiabin called his generals and a group of staff to climb up and spy on the Ming army camp.

Standing on a high slope, Tang Jiabin held a goose-feather fan in his hand to put on airs in the bitterly cold weather, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Today, let's see how this general will kill the Ming army's ten thousand dead ghosts! Come on, Pass on my military order, go out to kill the enemy!"

A subordinate advised: "General Tang, our army occupies a favorable location, and it is only right to hold on!"

Tang Jiabin squinted at that subordinate, and talked eloquently: "This general is familiar with military books, and he has a strategy in his chest, Mr. Wolong. It makes sense. You only know that you occupy the geographical advantage and stick to it without fighting, but you don't think about it. The Ming army's vanguard The troops have been running for a long distance, and they are already exhausted, so if they don't give them a chance to breathe, they will definitely win a big victory."

The subordinates were well aware of Tang Jiabin's conceited nature, and they dared not continue to persuade them, so they had to bite the bullet and lead the soldiers out of the camp to fight.

"Come on, let's put on a banquet. I, the general, will drink and watch the battle here!" Tang Jingbin said.

A few soldiers brought drinks, and Tang Jiabin and his staff were drinking on the high slope. They didn't pay attention to the Ming army, and held a celebration banquet in advance.

I saw [-] native soldiers leaving the barracks, shouting and rushing to kill them.However, the Ming army lined up in an open area, and they didn't line up for a while, which seemed a bit hasty.

Tang Jiabin shook his goose feather fan and laughed loudly: "See, the Ming army has already panicked before the confrontation!"

The staff flattered him and said, "The general knows how to use troops, I admire him!"

When the two armies were one mile apart, the Ming army finally formed a formation, but stood still and did not charge.

Tang Jiabin shook his goose feather fan more cheerfully, took a sip of wine and said, "The general of the Ming army is mediocre. When the two armies clashed, they formed a line formation and did not charge. Isn't this a living target? Haha , the 2 people in my hand are all equipped with handguns, the Ming army is purely courting death!"

Huakou small sex gun, a kind of matchlock gun.Cast iron barrel, smooth bore, front loading, firing iron, equipped with rear sight and star.A gun is placed on the wooden bed, with a stick inside and a wooden fork underneath.Behind the gun, near the fire door, is a leading matchlock bolt.

The Huakou Xiaojiao gun is better than the ordinary matchlock gun, with higher shooting accuracy, and it is convenient for fighting in the mountains, so the chieftain army in Yunnan likes to equip it.

The [-] soldiers were getting closer and closer, only a few hundred meters away.The Ming army suddenly beat the drums, and the soldiers walked forward in unison with a neat pace, the rhythm of which was consistent with the sound of the drums.

"What kind of trick is this?" A staff member asked in surprise, never seeing such a war.

Tang Jingbin said disapprovingly: "The two armies charged. Instead of running, the Ming army marched in unison. The formation couldn't spread out and the speed couldn't increase. What else could it be but a living target? Just wait and see, wait for our army to move forward again. If we run forward three to four hundred meters away and start firing, these Ming soldiers will fall like crops in the fields one after another!"

But before the Tusi army charged forward, the Ming army's drumbeat changed its rhythm, and the Ming army soldiers raised their guns in unison, and then fired in unison.Dense bullets flew out, and many soldiers of the Chieftain Army fell down.

After a round of shooting, the drums sounded again. The soldiers in the front row of the Ming army stood in place to load ammunition, while the soldiers in the back row stepped out, stepped forward in accordance with the rhythm of the drum beat, walked about 75 steps, stopped and raised their guns to shoot.

After so many repetitions, the Ming army's actions were uniform and completely formed a whole, with concentrated firepower and continuous advancement.

The chieftain army suddenly seemed to have no rules. The cooperation among the more than 2 people was far inferior to that of the Ming army.

Tang Jiabin couldn't laugh anymore, he held the goose feather fan in his hand and stopped shaking, dumbfounded and shocked.

The staff members all stood up, their scalps were numb, and the Ming army's drums were beating, hitting their hearts again and again, making them feel terrified.

Qi Dazhuang stood on the command podium and roared: "Keep moving forward and maintain the formation! Our new army's line tactics have been practiced for so long, and they finally came in handy. It opened the eyes of the chieftain army on what it means to line up and shoot!"
