Chapter 283 The Four Great Diamond Moons
"Mr. Sun, Luzhou City is ahead." Qi Yuangong came to Sun Chuanting and said.
The expression on Qi Yuangong's face was still very serious. Although this time, Lord Xiao Sun promised not to use his own Tiger Roar Camp, if the new army could not be defeated, he would still have to go to the scene by himself. Therefore, Qi Yuangong was a little worried.
To put it bluntly, Qi Yuangong did not trust Sun Chuanting's soldiers. These new soldiers had low origins and messy people, including refugees picked up by Lord Xiao Sun on the road, and the time it took for the army was very short. Can they fight?
Sun Chuanting didn't care. He glanced at Qi Yuangong and said calmly: "Okay, then let's continue to arrange it."
As he said that, Sun Chuanting raised his hand and waved in the air. Four people walked up behind him.
These four people are very distinctive. One of them is very tall and has a very strong figure, even half a head taller than Qi Yuangong.
You know, as far as Qi Yuangong is concerned, he was very tall in the Ming Dynasty, much taller than ordinary people. As a result, this person looked taller and more powerful than Qi Yuangong, and Qi Yuangong silently stood up.
The tall man was named Zhang Hu, and he also received it from Sun Chuanting on the way. Zhang Hu was a butcher. According to himself, during this rebellion, he protected the whole family and killed him with his sword. He hid in the mountains with his family along the way, and had been hiding for a long time.
It was cold and there was no food in the mountains. The wild fruits that could be eaten had been picked by other escapees. Because there were many people wandering in the mountains, even birds and beasts rarely appeared.
Zhang Hu squatted for several days before he hit two wild pheasants. When he heard that the imperial army came, he wanted to bring the wild animal skins he had killed before to exchange for some food, but he met Sun Chuanting halfway.
I don’t know why Zhang Hu was fooled by Sun Chuanting, so he brought the whole family to the new army. Recently, Zhang Hu has become a general under Sun Chuanting.
To put it bluntly, he followed Sun Chuanting. No matter where Sun Chuanting went, Zhang Hu followed him, looking like a bodyguard.
Qi Yuangong always felt that Zhang Hu's head was a bit useless, silly, but his martial arts value was definitely nothing to say.
Next to Zhang Hu was a thin man, very short and very dark, with a face that was obviously different from the Ming people, and a sense of viciousness was revealed in his dark eyes.
This person is a typical person. He was once a small person among the rebels. It is said that he was a small leader before and had a small village. This time he was transferred by She Chongming, but he lost to the new army boys who were temporarily formed by Sun Chuanting.
In Qi Yuangong's opinion, such an uncertain person should be killed, but Sun Chuanting left him.
The skinny man's name is Samba. I don't know what ethnic group it is, but I know that his name is Samba.
The thin man Samba is another cavalry under Sun Chuanting, and is also highly valued by Sun Chuanting and commands the foreigners under Sun Chuanting.
All the foreigners who were surrendered by the rebels were handed over to the Samba commander.
This guy uses a machete, which is very short, and this guy is very flexible and fast. Qi Yuangong also thinks that he is a good player in playing machetes.
Of course, there is not much room for such a good player to play on the battlefield, but it is easier to use at some specific times.
Apart from these two people, one of them was Samba's brother, named Mulberry. This guy was different from his brother. It seemed that when they were a child, their mother gave him all the food. She looked so fat and had a big belly.
In Qi Yuangong's opinion, if the mulberry was fighting on the horse, the horse would not be able to carry it. I don't know what I thought, why did Lord Xiao Sun take him over and want him to come over to fight?
This guy has a fat and round face, smiling all day long, and doesn't know what he is thinking. Anyway, you can tell at a glance that it's not a person you can provoke, and you don't know what his talent is.
Qi Yuangong thought of a word to describe this mulberry, a typical smiling tiger.
The last person is more interesting, this person is a woman.
It is not strange that there are women among the rebels. There are even women in the toasts from all over the country, and the customs are different.
This woman is very dark and not tall. Not to mention whether she can beat her, it looks quite scary. There is a scar on her face, which runs through her entire face from left to right, giving people the feeling that the bridge of her nose has been cut off.
Her name is Liao Sanniang. It is said that her ancestors were also from the Ming Dynasty and were from officials.
This Liao Sanniang was not a rebel, but was once the leader of a village. Of course, to put it nicely, but to put it badly, it was a bandit nest.
They called themselves horse gangs, and they lived by robbing their families and collecting tolls. Many merchants on this road had heard of her, "It is hard to escape from Kanliao Sanniang when riding the door. The King of Hell is not easy to buy his life." This sentence is what the saying describes Liao Sanniang in the Tao.
"Riding the door and crossing the hurdle" means that you are walking on the same road. Anyone who has a little bump or bump is all about Liao Sanniang. Meeting Sanniang is like a king of hell buying his life. Don't be evasive and be honest.
Qi Yuangong didn't know how Lord Sun subdued Liao Sanniang. At that time, Lord Sun brought a few people to talk to Liao Sanniang. After the talk, Liao Sanniang took her people down the mountain, and then Liao Sanniang became Lord Sun's confidant.
Now, in Qi Yuangong's eyes, the four people behind Lord Sun are the four great kings under Lord Sun. They stand there with their own characteristics, which makes Lord Sun all weird.
Sun Chuanting didn't look at the four people behind him and said proudly: "Samba, take your people to touch around Luzhou City. Be careful, and you will retreat immediately if you meet someone. If you encounter someone, you will destroy them first."
"Yes, sir." Samba nodded, agreed respectfully, turned around and took his people to the surrounding Luzhou City to find out the situation.
This samba's Ming Dynasty was not said well, and it always gave people a feeling of gritting their teeth. Qi Yuangong always felt disgusted.
After Samba left, Sun Chuanting continued to instruct: "Mulberry, you take someone to pick up your brother. It is definitely not safe around here. If nothing else is done, throw the person inside."
"Sir, don't worry, we will definitely not go wrong in our business." Mulberry agreed with a smile, and also took the people to pick up his elder brother.
Looking back at Liao Sanniang, Sun Chuanting smiled and said, "Take your people and spread them around you, just find a good place and squat. Isn't squatting your strength?"
Liao Sanniang nodded, said nothing, and quietly took her people away.
Liao Sanniang didn't think anything was true about what Sun Chuanting said. We are bandits and horse gangs, and robbery is naturally a strong point, so squatting is a very necessary activity.
The so-called squatting is actually to find a place to lie down, and people cannot discover it, stare at those people secretly. You can't make people notice there are bandits in front of you, right?
While squatting, you must also be able to find out how many things the merchants have and how many people they have.
Qi Yuangong knew what Liao Sanniang was doing, but to put it bluntly, he was just secretly whistle.
He looked at Lord Xiao Sun helplessly.
Lord Xiao Sun, who are your subordinates?
None of them seemed to be a soldier.
Anyway, Qi Yuangong looked down on him, but Lord Xiao Sun asked these people to go to war without the need for the people from the Tiger Roar Camp to go to the battlefield, so Qi Yuangong would not be able to say anything.
After looking at Zhang Hu, Sun Chuanting ordered: "Send the order to go down, rest for an hour, and then prepare to attack the city."
"Sir, don't we attack us in one go?" Qi Yuangong looked at Sun Chuanting and said hesitantly.
Even though Qi Yuangong is not very good at military tactics, he has heard of one move.
As the saying goes, "One concert will bring down again, and three times will bring down."
Those of you were all marching to Luzhou City in a hurry. If you don’t attack the city at this time, you will just rest, which will make everyone feel discouraged.
"Maybe they will come out to hit us when we take a break." Sun Chuanting glanced at Qi Yuangong and said in a relatively relaxed tone.
After hearing this, Qi Yuangong didn't know what to say.
Are the rebels in Luzhou City fools?
Look at the people we brought, there are almost 50,000 people. How many people in their city dare to fight out?
Sun Chuanting glanced at Qi Yuangong and said with a serious face: "Your family has a lot of knowledge. Qi Shaobao was rampant in the world and had no rivals in the north and south. Your father was also a brave general of the Ming Dynasty. Logically speaking, I shouldn't tell you this."
After hearing this, Qi Yuangong almost cried, and quickly took a step forward to salute Sun Chuanting, saying respectfully on the surface: "Mr. Sun, Master, said, 'There must be my teacher when three people walk,' let alone a talent like Master Sun. It is my honor to be able to receive Master Sun's teachings. Please give me advice."
In fact, Qi Yuangong didn't think so. He was so anxious. Lord Sun, please tell me quickly. What exactly did you think?
Whatever you want to do, I will be suffocated to death if you don’t say it.
Of course, Sun Chuanting didn't know what Qi Yuangong was thinking, but he was very satisfied with Qi Yuangong's attitude.
So Sun Chuanting began to say earnestly: "The way to use military forces is the right time, place, and people. Many people say this, but I have some different opinions."
Qi Yuangong was very curious about what Xiao Sun said, but he knew that he could not urge him, and the more he urged him, the slower he spoke.
"The so-called right time, place and people are often dead, but often live. We are in Sichuan now, and we don't have many people. Although your people are very elite, there are only five thousand, so it's okay to get together; if you disperse, you have no combat power."
Although Qi Yuangong nodded, he was thinking about how to bombard Luzhou City.
"If I have 50,000 people like you behind me, I don't have to do anything and just push it all the way. But I don't."
"For generals, you cannot wait, but you must learn and use it. Whether it is the time, the place, or the people, it must be used to your heart. Since Your Majesty asked us to go to the southwest to suppress the rebellion, we need to use everything we can use."
"If you just transfer a hundred thousand troops from Huguang, then anyone can do this. The generals should consider doing things that others cannot do, and the same is true for officials."
"Doing more things at the lowest cost can make it more prominent than others. If others can do what you do, why use you?"
"Look at the time we first came, there was no one behind us and no knife in our hands. What can we do in a place like Luzhou?"
"Look at now, we have 50,000 troops in our hands. Although they have all kinds of shortcomings, they have people in the end. Their shortcomings can be compensated with tactics, and we can formulate better strategies to play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses."
