Just as Liangchuan in the south was preparing to encroach on the interior of South Vietnam step by step in extremely clandestine ways, the war in the north finally started.
The South Vietnamese troops marched directly to Guangyuan.
Nong Zhigao was worthy of being a courageous and courageous man. He knew that the purpose of the South Vietnamese coming was to steal their gold. Before the South Vietnamese arrived, he ordered the entire gold mine to be blown up!
Where he got the gold is unknown!
But the gold mine that Cao Buxiu worked so hard to dig collapsed with a loud explosion. After the smoke and dust cleared, the workers and farmers in the mine all watched from a distance. They had already dug in the mine. They dug nearly a hundred meters and dug out dozens of kilograms of gold. For Nong Gao, this amount of money was like rain from heaven!
There was a loud noise, and the mine they dug was destroyed like this?
A mine is not a place where you can dig it up and fill it back up, and then dig it out again if you want. Once it is destroyed, the geological structure will be damaged. If it is dug in the future, the chance of collapse will be greatly increased. If miners are allowed to go down the mine, the probability of collapse will be greatly increased. , is tantamount to letting them die!
Nong Zhigao is not crazy, and Huang Shimi also supports him for doing such crazy actions.
Although they used Buddha statues to recruit more than 10,000 Han people to join their team, after all, he was a Nong people and always had prejudices and wariness against the Han people. Compared with the vanguard of the South Vietnamese, they were still There is a huge gap.
This gap lies not only in the number of people, but also in the equipment and quality of soldiers on both sides.
To put it bluntly, most of Nong Zhigao's subordinates are rural warriors. They were put together temporarily and only practiced for a few days. Their combat effectiveness is very worrying. However, most of the South Vietnamese troops are veterans of many years. Basic cooperation and The quality will be better than that of Nong Zhigao!
Huang Shimi and Nong Zhigao suggested that the South Vietnamese came here for no other reason than for this gold mine. If this mine was destroyed, the South Vietnamese people's purpose would be gone, and their fighting spirit would naturally be reduced!
Moreover, gold mines are different from cities and cannot be defended at all. Nong Zhigao and Huang Shimi have no confidence in saving this gold mine, and they are not willing to fill it with all the people they have. Become needless cannon fodder in the mine!
If the gold mine is obtained by the South Vietnamese, it will make the South Vietnamese even more powerful. Rather than doing this, it is better to let him destroy it first!
Nong Zhigao decisively agreed to the dog-headed military advisor's idea!
In his opinion, as long as Guangyuan is still there and the mine is dug again in the future, the gold will still be his!
But he didn't know what a price he would have to pay if he continued to dig this mine!
This time, the general leading the troops in South Vietnam was not Li Changjie!
When Li Changjie first besieged Yongzhou, he made an unparalleled contribution. After returning to China, his reputation grew and he was feared by many people in the court. In addition, because of his special status, he was immediately detained for inspection! The South Vietnamese only saw Li Changjie's beauty, but they didn't know how much Li Changjie paid for this victory!
On the one hand, Li Changjie was indeed a talented general, so he could lead a group of stragglers to besiege Yongzhou for more than half a year without causing a military rebellion. On the other hand, the Song Dynasty had estimated the determination and strength of the South Vietnamese. They thought that the high wall of Yongzhou could stop this group of people, but they did not want the city to cause trouble first.
A eunuch can be beaten like this, which shows how soft the Song Dynasty is
The weak can be bullied!
The world only saw people eating meat but not being beaten. They did not recognize Li Changjie's ability and placed all the credit on the incompetence of the Song Dynasty. Everyone in the court wanted to come to the Song Dynasty to get a piece of the pie. Eat meat!
It is said that after capturing Yongzhou City, they gained nearly one million yuan!
If the money piles up, it will be as high as the sky!
Everyone was dazzled by this benefit. They frantically spread rumors about Li Changjie's illegal activities and ambitions, and successfully removed him from the position of commander-in-chief of the armed forces. During the second Song-Vietnam War, Li Changjie could only stay at home. What a fool, replaced by a guy named Chen Cheng.
The Nanyue Chen family is not a small force now.
Although there are three auxiliary ministers in the court, there is an old master above them.
There is also the old Queen Mother Yang behind the curtain, but it is Chen who is really stirring up the water in South Vietnam in the dark!
Chen Siqing, the head of the Chen family, although his official position was not as high as that of the three auxiliary ministers, he was a real powerful minister. His sister was the late emperor's favorite concubine. When the late emperor was in power, his popularity even surpassed that of today's The Queen Mother Yang, which also makes the relationship between Concubine Chen and the Queen Mother Yang a bit delicate. Chen Cheng’s uncles and brothers all hold many important positions in the court. This time they are very interested in attacking Guangnan. I am very excited about the gains. If I can get some of such huge profits back, the Chen family will be able to reach a higher level.
But is it really that easy? No.
Everyone in the South Vietnamese court heard that gold had been dug out in Guangyuan, and no one believed it until they received information from a female agent stationed in Guangyuan, confirming the piece of gold nugget weighing 112 taels. It was literally dug out of the ground and they all went crazy!
When they put Nong Zhigao back, there was a lot of discussion in the court, which was nothing more than letting the tiger return to the mountains. Guangyuan would also be outside their influence in South Vietnam again because of Nong Zhigao's return.
Who would have thought that there would be gold mines in such a poor place!
Li Chao immediately sent a mission to find Master Nong Zhigao to question him. When Ruan Zhong set out, everyone believed that as long as they got to Guangyuan and cursed a few times, Nong Zhigao would kneel down and beg for mercy.
But they were all wrong. Any promise of good faith was nothing to Nong Zhigao. He fell out as soon as he returned to Guangyuan!
It had been several months since Ruan Zhong and the others had been there, and it was said that they had sent people home to collect a lot of money. Everyone thought that they were enjoying themselves in Guangyuan, drinking spicy food, and having so much fun that they did not miss Shu, until another incident occurred in Guangyuan. There was a bigger movement, a Buddha statue grew out of the ground there!
Nong Zhigao has gone from secretly recruiting troops to blatantly recruiting people, and even openly threatened to attack South Vietnam to avenge the death of his father!
Only then did the South Vietnamese realize that not only did this guy not intend to hand over the gold as they requested, but he also showed his knife and planned to fight them to the death!
When Chen Cheng, the general of the Song Dynasty, received this information, his heart was filled with contempt and disdain for Nong Zhigao!
Who is Nong Zhigao? He is just a defeated general of their South Vietnamese army, and he is the kind who has been defeated repeatedly!
He just found out clearly that the current population of Guangyuannon was only ten thousand, and there were ruins everywhere. What could he use to fight him? This time he brought thirty thousand with him.
There are many soldiers and horses to conquer Guangyuan. Guangyuan can muster three thousand troops after a full attack, which is already the ultimate. With a force ratio of one to ten, how can they in South Vietnam be invincible?
Many outsiders who fight have an illusion. They think that fighting is a one-on-one fight with swords. If there are more people, multiple people will fight one person. But in fact, this set of calculation theory is not used on the battlefield. !
If calculated this way, the first war god of the Ming Dynasty should be awarded to the imperial master Wang Zhen, and Chang Shiwan should step aside.
Unfortunately, this is how Chen Cheng calculated it, and he believed that he must be right!
The third war between South Vietnam and Guangyuan began amid such psychological differences!
Chen Cheng's army pressed the border, and instead of attacking other places in the Song Dynasty, he took his people to go around the ruined city of Yongzhou first. After discovering that the city of Yongzhou had already been emptied and there was no profit, he followed Yongzhou Go all the way north and head straight to Guangyuan.
Chen Cheng, who led the army, once imagined that when his heavenly soldiers arrived, the gang of country bumpkins in Guangyuan would fall apart, kneel at his feet and beg for mercy, and release Ruan Zhong and other ministers, letting him take the gold Go back to South Vietnam for business!
Chen Cheng, who was daydreaming, sent 3,000 of his cronies to lead the way to Guangyuan, while he hurried on. The cronies were more arrogant than Chen Cheng, and they wanted to enjoy the pleasure of defeating the enemy without fighting more than Chen Cheng. They were deceived by the people sent by Nong Zhigao to "please surrender"!
Nong Zhigao adopted Huang Shimi's tactic of showing weakness to the enemy, pretending to make peace with Chen Cheng's cronies, and then drugged the food and drinks he sent, first causing more than 3,000 people to vomit and diarrhea, and lost all will to fight. , and then take advantage of them not
Be prepared to attack and kill them outside Guangyuan in one fell swoop!
More than three thousand people were killed by these opponents they looked down upon without even lifting their pants or raising their swords!
Nong Zhigao became famous in one battle!
His current subordinates are not those Nong people who like to fight, but are all Han people who came here for the reputation of protecting Buddha and Dharma. Most of them are Han people who have illusions about Nong Zhigao.
Therefore, the power of superstition is very terrifying. With the blessing of Buddha's magic power, even these people below feel that they have a golden body and are invulnerable in battle. The mere South Vietnamese are much thinner than them. How can they? feeling scared!
One side is arrogant, the other is full of confidence, and coupled with Huang Shimi's tricks, the outcome of this battle is known before it even begins!
When the news of the tragic defeat reached Chen Cheng's ears, he couldn't believe how the Nong people could have such strong fighting power!
There must be something wrong somewhere. To be on the safe side, Chen Cheng did not dare to divide his troops any more, and led more than 20,000 people straight to Guangyuan to fight for his reputation!
Nong Zhigao listened to Huang Shimi's advice and won a great victory in the first battle. His ambition to win was extremely high. Not only him, but also his group of people also became more confident! There are more than 10,000 of them now, but they are no worse than Chen Cheng who came from afar!
The scheming Huang Shimi once again put forward the suggestion that when facing these people, we should not confront these people head-on, but should adopt the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the field!
Strong walls and clear fields?
Regardless of this strategy, Nong Zhigao saw Huang Shimi's usefulness from the first battle and believed in his advice again. He burned the home that Liang Chuan had finally built with a fire and gave nothing. The South Vietnamese stay!
