Chapter 374： Canyon attack
South, Jinhua.
After Xue Guiren returned to Jinhua, he began military operations.
Although the above reminded them of these middle-level generals, they said not to conduct large-scale military operations.
However, some of the following generals are eager to work and are still launching small-scale offensives.
Xue Guiren was like this. He relied on the sufficient food and grass in the city, so he left half of the soldiers and horses, and then dispatched 5,000 soldiers, divided into three groups and headed south to conquer the city.
Three thousand people on the East Road went straight to Yongkang and Lishui.
One thousand people on the middle road went straight to Songyang.
A thousand people on West Road went straight to Pucheng County and Nanping.
At the same time, Wang Dayong was divided into two groups in Ningbo, with 2,000 troops along the way, and cooperated with the navy to attack the Zhoushan Islands.
A total of more than 5,000 people on the other road marched from land and sea to Taizhou and Wenzhou.
The Longwu court, when Wu Changqing ascended the throne, had already begun to build a line of defense.
From east to west, Wenzhou, Lishui, Songyang, and Pucheng constitute their first line of defense.
Sanming, Nanping and Ningde are the second line of defense.
If the second line of defense is lost, then Fuzhou will be in danger.
On the East Road, the leader of the regiment, named Lu Wenxuan, was responsible for leading the troops.
To reach Yongkang from Jinhua, he needed to walk a gorge about twenty miles long, which was very dangerous.
Lu Wenxuan had no choice. Except for this gorge, another road had to climb the mountain, and it was all small roads, which was more difficult.
Compared to climbing mountains, Lu Wenxuan prefers to walk through this gorge, which is easy to be ambushed. At least the terrain in the gorge is flat, which can save a lot of effort and facilitate the transportation of grain.
After entering the canyon, Lu Wenxuan kept sending out spies.
It's a pity that dozens of spies scattered into the mountains on both sides of this gorge, just as insignificant as throwing a piece of sand on the beach.
If the enemy can be found in the mountains by spies, there will not be so many troops in ambush in history, and there will not be so many generals who like to ambush.
After all, ambush is about surprise. If it is discovered in advance, then ambush has no meaning.
Lu Wenxuan sent the spies, but actually just wanted to try his luck. He found that the enemy was a big profit, and if he didn't find it, he could calm the soldiers.
The act of sending out spies can send a signal to other soldiers that some of them are exploring the way ahead.
Someone is in front of oneself, which can make people feel at ease.
"Speed up a little bit. You must get out of this canyon within a day."
Lu Wenxuan urged the soldiers.
At this time, 12 miles away from them, there was already a Ming army lying in ambush on the mountains on both sides of the canyon.
"Master Wang, are we really ambushing here? I heard that there are more than 3,000 people in their unit, and we are only 1,500."
A hundred households worried.
In a battle with Dahua’s army, you can't beat it when its strength is dominant, let alone that its strength is still not dominant. How can you fight it?
"The ambush is about surprising victory, and it has nothing to do with the number of people. Don't worry, there are dense woods here, they will definitely not be able to find us. Then we will be condescending, and while they are light and cooking slack, throw the big stone down, It's going to panic.
Then we dash down again, and the enemy will be defeated. The above has already said that as long as we hold here for half a year, everyone will be promoted to the third level, and the salary will be doubled. "
Wang Qianhu said.
He didn't mean that he didn't want to bring more people over, the point was that he didn't.
There are only a few people in his hand, and he has brought them all.
In a small poor place like Yongkang, it is already very difficult to raise an army of more than 1,000 people. It is necessary to squeeze the lives of a large number of people in order to maintain this army.
If it is peacetime, there are at most dozens of government officials in a small county like this, and there will be no army stationed there.
In the mountains, it is not only the Dahua Army who has difficulty in logistical supply, but also the Ming Army.
Therefore, the Ming army did not place many troops on the front line and on each line of defense.
It's not that they can't recruit so many soldiers, but because they can't afford it.
More than a thousand people consume nearly two thousand catties a day.
It is not easy to transport two thousand catties of grain from Fuzhou to Yongkang. Maybe it was two thousand catties at the time of departure, but when transported to Yongkang, the rest is only one thousand catties, or less than one thousand.
What's more, there is not much food in Fuzhou.
The most grain-producing places in the world all fell into Wu Changqing's hands at this time.
Hearing that the official was promoted to the third level, the salary was doubled, and the faces of several hundred households showed some joy.
Promoting to the third rank is as difficult as before.
But now, only need to defend this line of defense for half a year, the difficulty is greatly reduced.
For this benefit, it is worth fighting for.
At noon, Lu Wenxuan's troops approached the ambush spot of the Ming army.
"Slow down the speed of advancement, eat dry food while advancing, don't light a fire."
Lu Wenxuan ordered.
As soon as this order was issued, many soldiers complained in their hearts.
Dry food is definitely not as delicious as freshly cooked, especially now that the weather is cold, the original fragrant butter cake has become cold and hard, and it is difficult to swallow.
But Lu Wenxuan gave the order, and everyone can only execute it.
Da Hua Army's every move was spotted by Da Ming's spies.
Seeing that Hua Jun kept making fire and cooking, the spy rushed back to report.
Their plan is to wait for the Chinese army to launch a surprise attack while eating. Those soldiers can't hold weapons while eating.
Moreover, when people are eating, their defensiveness will definitely drop.
In short, launching an attack while the enemy is eating is a very good tactic.
The Ming army originally planned it this way, but now, the Hua army does not cook, which directly disrupted their plan.
After the spies passed the news back, Wang Qianhu frowned.
There was an accident in the plan, which is not a good thing.
"How about we withdraw."
Some subordinates persuaded.
This is a safe way, but Wang Qianhu is not reconciled.
It took a lot of effort to come and wait for an ambush, and no gain would affect morale.
What's more, he didn't want to waste the terrain of this canyon.
Going back to guard that small county seat, the effect may not be as good here.
Although it is not possible to launch a sneak attack while the enemy is eating, just lie in ambush on the road, and the effect will not be much worse.
"Move all the stones over, and we will lie in ambush here. We will use stones and grenades to inflict damage and chaos on them first, and then rush over to defeat them when they are in chaos."
Wang Qianhu temporarily changed his plan.
Then, the soldiers moved.
A large number of stones were moved, along with a small number of grenades.
In this kind of terrain, the effect of attacking the enemy with a grenade is definitely very good.
Unfortunately, the Longwu regime’s production capacity is limited and financial difficulties.
So not many grenades are made, and even fewer are distributed to the various units.
A unit like Wang Qianhu has only a hundred grenades in total.
The Chinese army’s grenadiers averaged eight per capita. Soldiers of other arms will also bring one for use when needed.
The national strength of the two sides is no longer at the same level.
