Two months later, it was late summer. Except for the hotter weather, the millet in the rice fields turned from green to yellow, and the heavy ears of grain bent over. The scenery in the mountains was almost unchanged compared to when Zhang Ning first came.
Here, even in winter, the mountains are full of greenery.
The deadline for attacking the bandits has come, and fully armed men who have completed the training have gathered on the pasture outside the village.
Many villagers watched the fun at the entrance of the village. When Zhang Ning came out with his entourage, he also saw the results of his two months of busy work.
In any case, at least this team is more ornamental.
The same military uniforms and iron helmets, neat queues; the mother-child cannons on the frame are filled with the unique sense of power of steel, and the brand new barrel of the mesh gun in the hands of the soldiers is shining with a metallic luster.
They seemed to have jumped to a new level from the ancient hunting crowd.
Of course, the army is not used for performances, and Zhang Ning would rather see the effect after they entered the battle.
After a while, Monk Yao also came out of the village. He was carrying a long sword on his body, his steps were steady and fast, and his burly figure made his image powerful.
Zhang Ning went up to pay homage: The time is ripe, just wait for the uncle to give the order.
In any case, Zhang Ning always respected his power and prestige in the territory of Monk Yao during Fengxia Mountain.Although according to the level of warding off the cult, the Qiuye around Zhang Ning is also higher than that of Monk Yao.
Monk Yao bowed his hand and did not speak.
He stood on the road and looked at the people on the grassland quietly for a while. He suddenly turned around and took off his sword and handed it to Zhang Ning: You will be the one who will be ordered to fight against the bandits this time. Anyone who does not obey the military orders and is afraid of the former can be killed in front of the formation.
Zhang Ning was stunned: I am only responsible for training everyone to use firearms, and I have never fought a war.
Monk Yao said nothing, took a flag from the person behind, shook his hands, and saw four words written on it: Fengtian to fight against the thief.
Zhang Ning then took it and ordered people to hang it on the flagpole and get up.
He walked up to Wei Bin, looked back at the ten rows of people standing next to him, and thought to himself: Although he is a civil servant and has no battlefield experience, such excellent equipment can deal with a bunch of bandits, if he still can't win, it seems a bit unreasonable.
Thinking of this, he didn't refuse much.
Monk Yao did not go, and those who were accompanying Lao Xu and Yao Erlang, as well as Wei Bin, the chief of this group of people.
Lao Xu used to be a military officer, but now he is his own person. Zhang Ning has some idea. If there are any common sense mistakes on the battlefield, Lao Xu should remind him.
As a civil servant, sometimes he would work part-time as a military general, which was nothing strange in the Ming Dynasty.
This vengeance and revenge operation has been planned for a long time, but I have not received any brilliant plans until now, and everything is a routine preparation.
Before leaving, Fengxia Mountain had sent a detailed investigation into the terrain of the Bid Mountain and the people were behind to stare at their whereabouts.
After leaving, they did not deliberately keep it secret. Although the mother-child cannon was considered a light cannon in the Ming Dynasty, it weighed three or four hundred pounds, so they could only go on the main road and use a carriage to pull it.
After getting on the road, Zhang Ning sent a twelve team and scattered ten miles in front of the brigade to take the lead, in order to prevent everything from happening.
Fortunately, the weather is clear these days and it is a little hotter, but it can better ensure the use of the firearm.
The Feishan Mountain is about 100 miles away from Fengxia Mountain. Zhang Ning's men and horses walked from the avenue with eight chariots carrying mother-child cannons and several baggage trucks for two days, and arrived near the destination when dusk the next day.
More than a hundred people in broad daylight were unable to hide their whereabouts on the road, and there was even a flag in front of the team to fight against the thieves in Fengtian. It can be guessed that the thieves should have noticed it, but I don’t know if those people are literate.
It was almost evening that day, Zhang Ning asked Lao Xu about his opinion and chose a place with a wide view to set up a camp.
Wei Bin was responsible for taking care of people cutting trees and camping. Zhang Ning led Lao Xu, Yao Erlang and several others to climb up the hillside of a mountain opposite the Bid Mountain to watch the terrain on the spot.
No wonder Monk Yao was unwilling to come to take revenge before.
The mountain is shaped like a large tomb, with steep sides on three sides. Although there are shrubs on it and it is difficult to climb up, the long steep slope without a road is obviously unable to attack with troops.
Only at the end of the grave is a winding path that is winding upside down, as the passage for thieves to enter and exit: simple fortifications on rugged and steep mountain roads will become the nightmare of attackers. It can be imagined that even if thieves resist and place orders with stones, it will cause a large number of casualties. It is not an exaggeration to say that taking human lives on the attack on this road.
There is a high earth wall at the intersection on the top of the mountain, and the roads outside the wall are narrow and people cannot be spread out; such a simple fortification, but relying on the terrain, it becomes a defense line that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Behind it is a building mainly composed of bamboo houses and thatched huts, which is the village of the bandits.
Zhang Ning asked someone to go down and pass the order, and carried the cannon's rangefinder up the mountain.
This kind of simple rangefinder is made of wood, with a relatively large error, but it is much more accurate than visual inspection based on experience. It is very simple to use. It can be used by trained artillery soldiers, but they don’t understand the principles, so Zhang Ning can’t explain it for a while.
The mountainside where the rangefinder is placed is about one and a half miles away from the top of the opposite mountain. The error will not be too outrageous, and the base is definitely correct.
The weather is clear and the vision is very good. Zhang Ning can see the people on the earth wall on the opposite mountain. There is a naked man standing lazily with his hips on his hips and looking at this side. Most of the people there are walking and looking around slowly, without any nervousness.
I'm afraid the battle speculated by the bandits is as follows: the armed villagers of Fengxia Mountain attacked from the gentle slope at the end of the grave, which would cost several times the price, and retreated because there was not enough people and horses. If the soldiers were blocking the mountain and waiting for the rabbit, the thieves would certainly not come down to fight desperately, so the villagers had to bear the burden of transporting grain supplies from more than a hundred miles away, and idle more than a hundred young and strong laborers and villagers who were working to deliver grain. The plundering of stored food in the thief villages could make the bandits wait for their work and look for opportunities for a long time.
Before the sun set, Zhang Ning kept squinting his eyes on the mountainside.
At dusk, smoke rose from the camp stationed at the foot of the mountain. Everyone was cooking. After two days of traveling, they stopped and were fine, and they all wanted to have a hot meal.
There is no sense of urgency in the scene in front of me at all, and the atmosphere is not right, and I don’t know if it is because of the small scale.
Zhang Ning stood on the mountainside for a long time. The first time he experienced this kind of thing in person, he could still hear the chirping of birds in his ears. The noisy life at the foot of the mountain was faintly vague, and the natural scenery concealed the man-made hustle and bustle.
After arranging patrols and changing posts in the evening, everyone rested in the camp for a night.In the early morning of the next day, just dawn, Zhang Ning ordered the soldiers to dismantle the eight artillery pieces and tie them up the mountainside with ropes.
After dawn, many thieves gathered on the mountain opposite, and they were busy looking around here from afar.
But seeing a large number of soldiers carrying the place to another mountain, the thieves should know that Zhang Ning and others did not intend to attack them, but they did not know what people were trying to do.
The road up the mountain was too difficult to walk. It took a long time to get the eight cannons up and put them in. When the sun dissipated the mist in the valley, people were still busy.
Fortunately, this light-weight mother-child cannon is almost impossible to get up the mountain from such a road.
I measured it with a rangefinder, and the two sides were one and a half miles apart, within the maximum range of the artillery.
Zhang Ning said to Wei Bin, the thief was unprepared and bombarded the houses and supplies above. Even if they could still give them some food, there was a lot of rain in the south, let's see how they passed by the rain.If you don’t believe it, you won’t come down.
After waiting for a long time, the artillery was finally loaded, and a sound of drums sounded from the camp at the foot of the mountain.
Zhang Ning then ordered the bombardment of the bandit camp.
After a while, the pennant flag on the cannon formation waved a few times, and the earth shaking and the mountains shaking thick smoke rose, and a visible fireball whistled out of the smoke.
After a moment, the yellow dust exploded on the opposite earth wall. The two people fell off the wall, and the thieves suddenly became in chaos.
After a while, the other artillery adjusted their heights, and the sound of the artillery shook the sky again. In a short while, the bandit village was filled with smoke and fire, igniting a raging fire.
The soldiers on the cannon formation were busy starting to change the sub-gun, picked up the ammunition room after being fired, replaced it with a new sub-gun, and soon the sound of hitting the bolt with an iron hammer was heard.
Then continue the shelling.
The sound of cannons rose and fell, and the birds in the woods were frightened and flew away one after another, and the mountains suddenly became lively.A fire broke out in the village opposite, and the bandits were in chaos and ran around the top of the mountain.
Wei Bin was a little excited when he saw this and suggested: The thieves have become a mob, we can attack from the gentle slope.The musket had a range of 100 steps, and first beat the thieves guarding the mountainside to death and attack them step by step.
Zhang Ning pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: All those with horses rode around the mountain, while others lined up in front of the mountain to stand by.
The command was in Zhang Ning's hands, and the messenger next to him ran down the mountain to pass the order.
No one knew Zhang Ning’s intention.
The artillery bombarded for a while, but it stopped because of saving gunpowder; no nitrogen ore ore was found near Fengxia Mountain, and gunpowder was a relatively difficult thing for them to get.
At noon, people took a break and had some dry food, while the thieves on the mountain seemed to be still putting out fires.
In the afternoon, the soldiers formed a formation in front of the mountain. Zhang Ning explained to Wei Bin and others: The bandits' villages and fortifications were all blown up, and they couldn't keep them for a long time. The best way was to wait for the evening to try to go down the mountain to escape.But they also knew that we would not wait until dark and might go down the mountain to fight hard, that would be the best.Wait for another hour and attack if the bandits don’t move.
The mountains were filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. The smoke in the air could not dissipate for a long time, but it had become quiet. Only people running around on the opposite mountain could be seen.
Zhang Ning also left the cannon formation and looked up at the mountain and waited.
Seeing that the situation was extremely favorable, many people were impatient.
At this time, Zhang Ning somehow remembered someone: Hu Ying.
This senior in officialdom had a great influence on him. Among them, what impressed Zhang Ning the most was that Hu Ying was very calm.
Here, even in winter, the mountains are full of greenery.
The deadline for attacking the bandits has come, and fully armed men who have completed the training have gathered on the pasture outside the village.
