One thousand five hundred and thirty, this protracted security war is finally over
With absolute material reserves and strong belief, the Wei army used flames to burn Black Mountain for three days and three nights.
During this period, due to the change of wind direction, the Wei army had to change positions to preset positions and continue to launch long-range attacks, and continue to burn the sky with super skills.
Three days later, a muffled thunder and a spring rain fell from the sky.
The rain fell one day and one night. The spring rain extinguished the burning flames, but did not bring any hope of spring to the Black Mountain rebels in the mountains.
After the sky cleared the next day, the Wei army fully armed into the mountains to clear out the remaining Black Mountain bandits, and broke them into pieces, entering Black Mountain in a tactical squad pattern, and dealt with them while investigating and disposing of them wherever they went, except for the charred corpses and the wreckage of the buildings.
Because the smell is too pungent, soldiers need to use soaked gauze to protect their mouths and noses when entering the mountain and carry a kettle with them. If they accidentally rekindle, they can deal with it briefly so that they will not be in a hurry.
Two days after the army entered the mountain to clear out the bandits involved, Guo Chengzhi followed Guo Peng into the mountain and watched the traces of the fire along the way and the charred corpses that had no time to deal with. He was deeply shocked.
What others describe and what they write are not as shocking as what they see with their own eyes.
He began to understand why Guo Peng said that he didn't want to go to the second time after he went to the battlefield.
Too cruel.
If this were the case on the battlefield, Guo Chengzhi really didn't want to see it for the second time.
Along the way, you can not only see thieves who were burned to death, but also see thieves who were roasted to death, or those who were hiding in a cave with no way to escape and suffocate to death. The death was extremely miserable.
After Guo Chengzhi took a look, he didn't dare to take a second look.
Later, news came from the front that a group of thieves ran to the top of the mountain to survive and resisted stubbornly. They were killed and beheaded by all the advance teams that set out before. Apart from this, no survivors have been found.
The Wei army searched around the mountain road for several days and found less than a hundred survivors, both men, women, young and old. They were lucky enough to hide in a cave that had not been exposed to the flames. They were not roasted to death or suffocated to death.
Despite their attempts to surrender, Li Qian ordered them to behead them all.
Those who resisted stubbornly until the end and those who brought more than a thousand lives to the Wei army in several years were not qualified to be forgiven.
All the people on this mountain are going to die and it is impossible to survive.
This was announced to the entire army before Li Qian set out, and the entire Black Mountain pheasant and dog were not left behind.
Literally, there is no chicken or dog left.
The Wei army broke into pieces and formed a tactical team to search for the thieves in the mountains and forests in order to eliminate them completely and to see the uncharred corpses going up to finish the attack.
The Wei army wanted to use this fire and this victory to warn all those who surrendered before but had more or less improper thoughts in their hearts. Who has the final say here?
In order to further achieve deterrence, Li Qian also ordered the collection of the heads of the Black Mountain thieves and prepared to take them back to Zhujingguan.
Tian Feng is responsible for Huairou, so he must be responsible for the stern and killing, suppressing one hand and stroking the other hand, so that he can completely assimilate the situation in Yunzhou and prevent the rebellion from happening again.
Not all the people of Yunzhou decided to resist the Wei Empire, and there were many who surrendered voluntarily. They still retained a certain level of strength and could not make them feel that the Wei Empire could not control these people, so as not to have any unfair intentions.
The years of public security war in Yunzhou also consumed too much material and fiscal budget of the Wei Empire. The final end of this war will undoubtedly make the Wei Empire's tense finances breathe a sigh of relief.
After the war, the imperial garrison did not have to maintain the quota of 40,000 to 50,000 for many years, and maintain the quota of 10,000 or 20,000. The remaining troops could be invested in the areas where they were needed.
The military pressure on the Shu Road artery does not need to be so great. It can release a considerable amount of transportation to private commercial activities and help develop the economy of Yunzhou and Yizhou.
In all senses, this is a very good thing.
Of course, it is not a good thing for the military.
There is a lack of training ground and a lack of military merit acquisition base. If it weren't for the strict control of military generals by the Wei Empire, I don't know when the war would end.
After all, in war, a large amount of materials are transported back and forth, giving countless officials room to use. If you touch it casually, you will make a lot of money.
For local generals and officials, what will they earn after the war is over?
That is, the military system of the Wei Empire restricted the real power of generals and local officials, making them unable to fight against the central government and cannot use war to [foster bandits and self-respect].
An army must not fight a fixed area with an enemy for a long time. Over time, the army will develop some strange tacit understanding with the local enemies. Some strange merchants will gain a lot of benefits around the war, and both sides will enter a tacit mode.
If you want to end this war in the end, it will be very difficult.
At the end of February of the third year of Xingyuan, this protracted security war ended.
The separation forces in Yunzhou, represented by the Yongchang rebels, were completely suppressed, and the Wei army finally won.
Over the past few years, 1,306 soldiers of the Wei army have been killed, tens of thousands of injured, and have been attacked hundreds of times by local rebel tribes in Yunzhou, and the two sides have fought more than 500 times in all directions.
The Wei army always maintained an active position and put huge military pressure on the local rebel forces. Through the burning of turbulent oil tanks, the living space of the rebel tribes entrenched in the mountains and forests was compressed step by step.
The Wei army cut down trees, opened up wastelands, built villages, and built roads everywhere, continuously expanded and expanded the directly controlled area of the Wei Empire, and gradually gained a foothold in Yunzhou.
The living space of the rebel forces is constantly compressed and failing, but that is their counterattack is becoming increasingly rampant.
Hundreds of active attacks, either open and open attacks, or sneak raids, night attacks, attacks and burning villages, granaries and arsenals, killing and injuring local residents, effectively attacking the grassroots organizations of the Wei Empire.
Hundreds of active attacks are unimaginable under their organizational model. It can be said that they were forced to evolve under the strict organizational structure of the grassroots level of the Wei Empire and developed into a relatively strict organizational structure, changing the original loose tribal alliance.
Because of such a threat, the Wei Empire set up a military village in Yunzhou, all of whom were equipped with military equipment and farming. They practice formations and fighting techniques under the leadership of the instructor for a little free time.
When the rebels raid and the Wei army cannot arrive in time, the militia will spontaneously arm the army to protect themselves. Their villages are built with a very military style. They rely on the fences on the periphery of the village to protect themselves, fight offensive and defensive wars with the rebels and gain time.
Over time, even women in the village can use spears and shields, and ten-year-old children can use crossbow arrows to defend their homes with their parents. They are truly full of martial ethics.
The village will have a dedicated person to be in charge of the alert. The sentry will be divided into clear and secret whistle, and will keep watch for twelve hours all day. Once someone attacks, the men in the village will immediately arm the war, while women and children will assist in the war.
The Han villages in Yunzhou are basically in a state of war.
This is true for the people and even more so for the official.
When officials such as Tian Feng took office, they always put on helmets and armor, taking office under the protection of the army with a military style.
It would not work if this is not the case. Because the defense in the Wei army occupied the area was not very good at that time, sometimes there were rebels sneaking into the assassination, either assassinating alone, or in groups of three or five, or even 10 or twenty people pretended to be obedient and mixed into the Wei army occupied the area.
They set fire, looted, and assassinated imperial officials, creating chaos everywhere, causing many officials to be killed because they were not prepared, posing a great threat to the Wei Empire's rule in the local area.
So during that period, whether civil officials or generals, they wore relatively light armor and wore swords when working. They would never take off their leather armor anywhere, and they would also carry armed servants with them.
The attendant is carrying a helmet. Once there is an emergency, the official will immediately complete an armed counterattack on the spot. In order to protect himself, the official will usually dance with swords and guns to exercise his body in his spare time to ensure that he can defend or even fight back when he encounters danger.
Officials and generals must bring enough guards to ensure their safety, but sometimes it will cause problems of exposure of targets. It is very difficult to directly point out the target to the opponent's assassin.
What those Black Mountain rebels did at that time was quite terrifying and quite a bit desperate.
Some people were even dead soldiers and did not surrender in the face of the Wei army's siege. They fought to death, which once caused great panic to local officials.
This is the real situation of the place just after Yunzhou was established.
Later, Guo Peng ordered Yan Rou to launch a considerable number of Linzi camp spies to go deep into Yunzhou, form a powerful intelligence network, and build a powerful second front force, and fight against the opponent's assassin killer on the invisible front for years.
When the confrontation between the two sides was the most intense, Linzi Camp could kill more than 200 assassins and killers sent by the other side every year, and he also had to pay the loss of ten to twenty spies killed in battle every year.
In addition, the Shu Road was later built to the southern section and penetrated into the counties and counties in the southern part of Yunzhou. The supply of harsh turret tanks and thunder began to stabilize. The Wei army won consecutive victories on the front line and continuously compressed the rebels' living space. This situation improved.
The living space of the rebels was constantly burned and compressed by the Wei army, and gradually moved away from the living area built by the Yunzhou government.
They were compressed into the mountains and fields, played hide-and-seek with the Wei army, fought mountain offensive and defensive battles, and could no longer go deep into the Wei army occupied areas to carry out terrorist attacks.
The Wei army is different from the militia. They do not have martial ethics and do not play close-range battles with them. As long as there are fierce ignition tanks and thunder, they will use them to launch attacks and strike at a long range, causing huge deterrence and damage to the rebels.
It can be said that the rebels were defeated so miserably. They were wiped out by the Wei army within a few years. The large-scale use of fierce ignition oil tanks and thunderstorms made great contributions.
Guo Peng even thought that the Wei army burned all the way, emitting so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and maybe it could delay the arrival of some small glaciers a little...
