Chapter Sixteen

Shengjing.

"Hahaha, OK, well fried!"

The Chongzheng Hall was brightly lit, with a scar face, Zhen Youcai, Big Bearded Man, Xiaoqi and others gathered in the hall to talk and laugh, and the joy was beyond words. Wang Pu also smiled wickedly: "It's not easy to come to Liaodong once. Now I'm leaving, and there's nothing good to send. I'll give this big firework to Jiannu to remember, hehe."

Scarface said: "General, Jiannu has suffered heavy losses this time."

"Yeah." Wang Pu nodded, the smile on his face slowly dissipated, and his expression began to become solemn. He turned around and looked at the bearded man and said, "Big bearded man, it's your turn next. Are you ready?"

The bearded man stood up and said quickly: "The villain is ready long ago."

Wang Pu said in a heavy tone: "Big Bearded Man, whether he can lead the Jiannu team away from the city depends on you!"

The bearded man said solemnly: "General, don't worry, the villain must do the job well."

Wang Pu nodded and said, "Big Bearded, call all the brothers in."

The bearded man turned around and took a move, and fifty capable servants were already in one after another.

Wang Pu stretched out his hand and said aloud: "Go to drink!"

Xiaoqi brought people to the bearded man and fifty servants to the big sea bowl, and then poured a large bowl of sorghum wine into each person's bowl. Wang Pu also poured a large bowl himself, holding it high above the top and said to the bearded man and fifty servants: "According to military rules, drinking is strictly prohibited when going to war, but today I want to break the example and use this bowl of sorghum wine to strengthen you!"

The bearded man and fifty kids raised the wine bowl together with a serious expression.

Wang Pu's eyes gradually became ferocious, and he said in a deep voice: "Tonight, you 50 people will face the pursuit of thousands of Jiannu. Only God knows whether you can escape the pursuit and whether you can return to the Ming Dynasty alive!"

The hall was quiet, and only the heavy breathing of the servants were intertwined. It was fake to say that they were not nervous or afraid of death. As long as they were people, they were afraid of death. If they could choose, no one would be willing to die, but then again, fear of death is not absolute. There are indeed many people in this world who are willing to die calmly for their loyalty, for their families, and for their ideals.

"This general cannot guarantee that you can return to the Ming Dynasty alive, but..." Wang Pu's tone suddenly became louder as he turned, "This general can guarantee that you will bring the dividend you deserve (the gain from the plunder in Shengjing City) to your family. If you can return to the Ming Dynasty alive, each of you will receive an additional reward of 1,000 taels of silver! If you die in battle, your family will receive an additional pension of 2,000 taels of silver!"

Wang Pu's words were sincere. If he could really return to the Ming Dynasty alive, he would definitely try his best to fulfill his promise!

The bearded man and the fifty servants will perform a mission that will be dying. They will become martyrs until dawn tomorrow. Wang Pu doesn't want to let these ferocities bleed and cry!

Listening to Wang Pu's incitemental words, the eyes of the servants began to become hot. Most of these soldiers were rough people who could not read a few words. They did not understand the so-called great principles advocated by saints and gentlemen. They only believed in the simplest principles: If you are good to me, I will be nice to you, if you are good to my whole family, I will be selling my life to you!

"I am here today. If I don't say anything but fulfill my promise, it's not raised by my father and mother. Let all the brothers who returned to the Ming Dynasty cut me away!"

"General, stop talking about anything!" The bearded man raised the wine bowl and shouted, "I believe in you, this bowl of wine...I drink it!"

"Yes, we believe it too." The other servants shouted, "We have drunk this bowl of wine!"

"Okay, what a good brother, I've done it!"

Wang Pu suddenly brought the wine bowl to his mouth, raised his neck and drank it all, and then threw the wine bowl to the ground with great force. There was a crisp sound, and the wine bowl had broken into pieces. The bearded man and the servant No. 50 made a cruel decision, and he drank the wine when he closed his eyes, and then threw the wine bowl to the ground. The sound of the wine bowl shattering suddenly sounded in the hall.

The wine bowl was broken, but the hearts of this man over fifty were unsatisfied!

The bearded man wiped his mouth and turned around to the No. 50th housekeeper and said, "Brothers, I have drunk this wine, and the general has prepared this funeral for us. Now... it's time for us to set off, let's go!"

"Walk!"

"Walk!"

"Walk!"

The sorghum wine's spirit soon rose. The northern man who was already generous in nature quickly threw life and death behind his head and shouted out loud.

The bearded man grinned when he walked past Scarface and said, "Scarface, don't forget to burn a few sticks of incense in front of the brother's spiritual seat during the holidays. If you have endless drinking, don't forget to sprinkle two glasses of wine, hahaha."

"Big Bearded!"

Scar's eyes heated up and two lines of tears shed.

Before leaving the hall, the bearded man turned around and shouted to Wang Pu, "General, my bearded man is another hero in 18 years. I will go to find you and hang out with you!"

■■■

Shengjing Nanxie, Qing army camp.

When Huang Taiji was playing with Man Zhu Xili, Oboi suddenly hurried into the tent and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is something happening again in the Ming army."

Huang Taiji nodded and asked, "Tell me."

Aobai said: "Just just now, a team of Ming troops left the West Gate and rushed to western Liaoning. There were no big chariots but cavalry. Because there was no turret, it was difficult to determine how many cavalry there were. However, judging from the sound of horse hooves, there should be seven or eight hundred cavalry."

Man Zhu Xili looked at Huang Taiji with extremely admired eyes and said, "It turns out that the emperor expected. The Ming army sang really like a sound. The emperor predicted things like a god. I admired them, and I admired them."

Huang Taiji stood up expressionlessly, as if he hadn't heard Man Zhu Xili's compliments at all. He paved and analyzed: "This Ming army can touch Liaodong silently from Songshan, with no more than one thousand troops. There will definitely be casualties in the process of capturing Shengjing. It is reasonable to have seven or eight hundred people left. Well, it seems that the Ming army is really going to break through this time."

Obai said, "The slave will lead the troops to intercept them."

"Go." Huang Taiji nodded, "This time you bring two thousand cavalry, and use two thousand cavalry to seven or eight hundred cavalry should be sure to win. Remember to wipe out all of them. Never leave one, especially the leader of their leader."

"twitter!"

Oboi beat Qian and turned around and left, but as soon as he arrived outside the tent, Huang Taiji suddenly heard him shouting: "Slow up!"

"Emperor." Oboi turned back in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No." Huang Taiji shook his head and frowned, "It's still wrong."

Man Zhu Xili asked, "Emperor, what's wrong?"

"Cannon!" Huang Taiji pondered for a moment, and his tone suddenly became firmer, "The Ming army did not blow up the red cannon on the top of the city."

"Red Cannon?"

Man Zhu Xili and Oboi looked at each other, obviously unable to keep up with Huang Taiji's jumping thinking. They really couldn't think of what the sixteen red cannons on the top of Shengjing City had to do with the Ming army's escape?

Huang Taiji smiled slightly and said, "The Red Barbarian cannon is difficult to cast, it is expensive and powerful. It can kill and injure the enemy in large quantities and attack the city. If you are the chief general of the Ming army in Shengjing City, you know that the Red Barbarian cannon is powerful but you can't take it away now, what will you do?"

Oboi replied without hesitation: "That's all right, of course it's going to blow it up."

"That's right." Huang Taiji smiled, "But the Ming army did not bomb the cannons now, so they are still in the city!"

Man Zhu Xili asked, "What's the matter with the seven or eight hundred cavalrymen who went out of the West Gate?"

Huang Taiji said: "This is simple. As long as the Ming army collects the horses in the city, ties puppets on the horse's back, and drives forward with a small number of soldiers, it can create the illusion of a large group of cavalry leaving the city. This is just a trick of the Ming army's suspicion."

Obai said: "Your Majesty, is the Ming army still in the city? I will tell if the slave takes people to test it."

"No." Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "If the Ming army has already left the city, it will be too late to chase after you explore the truth and then explore. If the Ming army is still in the city, you can only try to alert the snake."

Obai said, "Then or not?"

"Catch, of course you have to chase! If the leader of the Ming army is mixed with this group of doubtful soldiers, wouldn't he let him run away if he doesn't chase him?" Huang Taiji said, "You bring the remaining 2,500 Mongolian cavalry and raising more torches to make a sound! After chasing for ten miles, the troops will be divided into two groups. If you lead 500 cavalry to continue chasing, you must kill all the escaped Ming army. In addition, the other route will be led by Ta Zhan and Ebilong, extinguish the torches and quietly surround the torches and ambush twenty miles outside the gate of Shengjingdong."

"This..." Obai hesitated, "Emperor, I have taken away all the Mongolian cavalry, and there are only two hundred guards by your side. If the Ming army breaks through the south gate, it will be bad."

"No." Huang Taiji said decisively, "The Ming army will never break through the south gate."

Seeing that Oboi and Man Zhu Xili were still skeptical, Huang Taiji explained: "There are two reasons. First of all, the Ming army in the city did not know that I was here. Even if we knew that our army's camp was empty, they would never come to kick the camp, because kicking an empty camp would not be of any benefit to them, and would also miss the opportunity to break through."

Man Zhu Xili nodded and asked, "What else?"

Huang Taiji picked up the Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the table and shook it, and smiled and said, "The Han people like to use tricks. The Han people have another old saying that the most dangerous place is the safest. The Ming army's breakthrough from the east gate has failed once. Logically speaking, the east gate is the most dangerous direction, and the Ming army should not break through the east gate again."

"That's it." Obai said, "I thought the Ming army should break through the north gate next."

"No." Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "The Ming army will never break through the north gate. They will definitely break through the east gate!"

"this……"

Oboi was still a little worried.

"Go." Huang Taiji said loudly, "Don't let Mingjun run away."

"twitter."

Oboi gritted his teeth and took the order.
