Chapter 744 Cangxia Ambush

After Zheng Jun gave up Xianxia Pass, Liang Jun opened the door to Fujian.

Gao Huan hesitated for a moment and decided to let Li Pingyuan lead 10,000 troops as the pioneers, enter Fujian with great courage and pursue Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong gave up Xianxia Pass, Zheng's defense line in northern Fujian had collapsed, and Liang's army was able to enter Fujian continuously, Gao Huan did not think that the Zheng family still had a chance to turn the tables.

In Gao Huan's view, Zheng Jun might have another blockade in order to gain time for transferring money and grain, but it could no longer change the general trend.

Now Liang Jun is like a tiger breaking into a sheep pen, and he is almost a sure win.

At this time, Gao Huan's only concern was that Zheng's army would become a hidden danger like Japanese pirates.

In order to prevent the Zheng army from escaping from the sea, threatening the security of the coastal areas of Liang State, and maritime trade, Gao Huan led a large army to march towards the hinterland of Fujian.

On December 20, Gao Huan led an army of 100,000 into Fujian. The army rolled in iron hooves and the Fujian was shaken.

However, the Liang army's advance did not go smoothly, and it was constantly attacked by Zheng's army and landlords along the way.

Zheng Zhilong monopolized overseas trade and made extremely profits and did not short of money. In order to be able to control one side, he was not bad to rule the people.

The taxes in Fujian are not heavy, and there is no corvee service. The key is that many gentry and people do not work in the Zheng family and rely on the Zheng family to maintain their lives.

This made the Zheng family have great prestige in Fujian and also gained support from the gentry and the people.

Historically, after Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Sen was able to fight against the Qing army with the Jin and Xia islands because of the secret support of Fujian gentry and people.

Faced with the harassment of the Zheng army and the hatred of the gentry and the people, Gao Huan could only station troops along the way to ensure the safety of the food route.

On the 25th, on the Little Year of the Lunar New Year, Gao Huan spoke and asked Liang Jun to celebrate the New Year in Fuzhou City.

At this time, in the boundary of Yanping Prefecture, among the continuous Wuyi Mountains, Li Pingyuan led 10,000 Liang troops and was advancing along the Minjiang River Valley.

Because it was a valley, the Liang army was stretched very long, stretching for five miles.

At this time, the Liang soldiers wore disc helmets on their heads, flintlock rifles on their shoulders, and horses dragged bronze cannons to march towards Fuzhou.

Li Pingyuan rode on the horse, scanned the surrounding terrain, feeling a little uneasy, and looked up from time to time to time to look at the surrounding situation.

Fujian's eight mountains, one river and one branch of fields shows that the mountains and forests in the area are easily ambushed.

In addition, the Liang army went deep into the hinterland of Fujian and had no mass base, which made Li Pingyuan feel uneasy that he would be attacked at any time.

"Where did you go?" Li Pingyuan couldn't help asking.

Joined the army and looked at the map drawn by the Military Information Department, "There is Cangxia in front, and after the past, it is Gukou Town, and the boundary of Fuzhou!"

Before the Liang army attacked Minyue, Gao Huan did a lot of work, the most important one was to send detailed works to Fujian and draw detailed maps of Fujian prefectures.

The map of the Military Information Department can be said to be more detailed than the map of the Zheng family.

Li Pingyuan stood on the stirrups with his feet, stood up, and looked ahead. Sure enough, he saw a steep canyon, so he said in a deep voice: "Scout forward to investigate!"

A sound of hooves roared, and the Liang army scout left the brigade and went to reconnaissance to prevent the Zheng army from lying in ambush.

More than a hundred cavalrymen of Liang army rushed into the canyon, and saw the steep mountains. The valleys that the army was about to pass through the two mountains. The mountains were lush and trees were enough to hide thousands of soldiers.

At this time, the Liang army scout tied the reins and looked at the terrain carefully, but found no abnormalities.

The cavalry first shot a few arrows, then searched along the hillside for a while, but found no movement, but started a few bird calls and then continued to search forward.

The cavalry entered Cangxia, with alert eyes scanning the hillsides on both sides, everything was ordinary.

The scout saw the sound of hooves startled the flying birds, and judged that there was no one in the trees, so he did not stop and the horse's hooves passed through the canyon.

The scouts passed directly, which means that no threat was found, otherwise they would immediately warn the people behind.

At this time, the vanguard army followed the scout and entered the canyon. Li Pingyuan walked for a while and suddenly frowned, "There is something wrong with this place, let the soldiers run through!"

The general first conveyed the order, and then asked: "Governor, what's wrong?"

Li Pingyuan pointed at the birds hovering in the sky, "See, have they circled for a long time, but none of them fell into the forest!"

When the general heard the words, he felt a trembling heart and hurriedly urging him. The soldiers of Liang who had already entered the river valley raised their speed and trotted forward.

Suddenly, a "bang" sounded and the running Liang soldiers immediately looked around alertly.

"Quick! Bounce out!" Li Pingyuan immediately understood what was going on and shouted loudly.

At this moment, countless Zheng Jun figures suddenly appeared on the mountain, the whistling sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air, and the projectiles sprayed by muskets came like strong wind.

On the heads of Liang soldiers, countless arrows woven into a large net and fell down quickly.

Zheng's army on the top of the mountain dropped iron shell thunder, and explosions occurred in the middle of the road, which shocked Liang's soldiers hurriedly hid behind the trees and stones on the side of the road, raised their flintlock rifles and shot at the ambush Zheng's army.

...

Fujian is mountainous and difficult to walk on the road. In order to avoid ambushing, the Liang army's front, central and rear troops are very close, only thirty miles apart.

With the combat power of the Liang army, even if a group of people were ambushed, the Liang army could still rush to the battlefield, rescue them, and even form a counter-encirclement.

For other armies, they may be surrounded, but for the Liang army, they are the center blossoming.

At this time, Gao Huan led tens of thousands of central troops, following Li Pingyuan, and the army was advancing along the Minjiang Valley.

Along the way, there are terrain between two mountains and one river, and there will be quite dangerous terrain from time to time.

At this time, in the curved river valley, there were Liang army everywhere, and the Liang army filled the river valley, and the team stretched for dozens of miles.

Because the terrain is dangerous and it is easy to be ambushed. Gao Huan did not wear a golden helmet and armor, but instead followed the generals with the generals in the costumes of ordinary generals.

At this time, the army was walking into a steep place, Gao Huan held the reins of the horse, and his expression was a little nervous.

Now Gao Huan is the lord of a country after all, and he cannot take risks with himself. Whenever he passes through dangerous terrain, Gao Huan is a little worried about capsizing in the gutter.

After all, the great cause of unification has not been completed, and Gao Huan still has many ambitions that have not been realized. If he can do so, he wants to borrow another five hundred years from heaven, but he doesn't want to die on the battlefield.

"Don't worry, after the vanguard investigated, I asked the scout to explore again, but no ambush was found in front of me!" Du Yinxi said on the horse.

Gao Huan just heard the words and urged the horse to pass through the dangerous situation.

After Gao Huan passed, he couldn't help but feel relaxed. He turned around and pointed at the canyon that had just passed with a horse whip and laughed loudly: "If Zheng Zhilong set up an ambush here and wait for me to shoot out of time and messy guns at once, I will be relieved!"

The generals on the side laughed in their hearts. The king did not give Zheng Zhilong the chance at all. They dressed up as an ordinary general, and there were scouts repeatedly to investigate. Zheng Zhilong could not hurt the king even if he set up an ambush.

At this time, Gao Huan laughed and continued to walk with the troops. At this moment, a cannon sound came from afar.

Gao Huan's expression changed and he quickly grabbed the reins of the horse. Could it be that he had become Cao Cao's second?

However, he quickly calmed down because the cannon sound was very small and it was coming from a very distant place.

Du Yinxi's expression changed, "King, it's the forward!"

Gao Huan frowned and quickly shouted, "Scouts go and check it out quickly!"
