Chapter 452: Being clever but being misled by cleverness
Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty: Starting from Meishan Chapter 452: Being clever but being misled by cleverness
Under the starlight, a group of ice sledges could be vaguely seen sliding along the narrow remaining ice surface on the seashore. Wakda made a rough estimate, there were at least thirty to fifty ice sledges.
When the distance was slightly closer, Wakda stepped forward on his horse and shouted: "Stop!"
The Ming army on the opposite side immediately stopped the mules and horses, and dozens of ice sledges stopped one after another.
Only then did Wakda realize that there were a lot of ice sledges, but not many Ming troops.
"Where is Yan Yingyuan?" Wakda asked in authentic Ming Dynasty Mandarin, "Is Yan Yingyuan here?"
Seeing that no one responded to him, Wakda rode up to one of the Ming soldiers driving an ice sledge and shouted: "I'm deaf, what do you want me to say to you?"
"To tell you what the adults are saying, I don't know anything."
Ming Jun said with a look of fear: "The villain is only responsible for driving the sledge."
"Master, what nonsense are you talking to these Nikans?" said a Green Camp soldier, "Let's check the supplies."
"That's fine." Wakda nodded slightly and said, "Then check the supplies and check carefully!"
"Hey!" the green battalion general who led the team agreed, and immediately ordered the accompanying green battalion soldiers to come forward for inspection.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of green soldiers gathered around dozens of ice sledges, stabbing them with knives.
Soon, grain flowed out of the bag. Wakda quickly stepped forward to take a handful, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and then cursed loudly: "It's wheat, don't fucking spill it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ming army, which had looked cowardly just now, suddenly moved.
"Do it!" the leading Ming army suddenly roared, and dozens of Ming soldiers struck flints one after another, lighting the fuse hidden under the ice sledge.
This time it became so hasty that Wakda and the Green Camp soldiers had no time to stop it.
"You've been fooled, run!" Wakda roared and turned around to run away.
But the Ming army, which had been cowardly just now, suddenly became brave and fearless of death.
With just one jump, the Ming army hugged Wakda's waist armor, and Wakda struggled desperately but couldn't break free.
"Come and help me!" Wakda drew his knife and stabbed the Ming soldiers indiscriminately, while asking the green soldiers for help, but the green soldiers didn't seem to hear them and just turned around and ran away.
However, where can we escape at this point?
In just a few seconds, there was a loud bang.
The figures of Wakda and Ming Jun suddenly flew into the air.
This was followed by a series of huge explosions.
…
Daishan and his sons and grandsons were guarding not far away.
Daishan was even still hoping that Yan Yingyuan would actually surrender. In this case, he would be able to capture Dagokou effortlessly. Dorgon wanted to use this matter to embarrass him, but instead he gave him credit.
Thinking of his proud place, Daishan couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.
Just as Daishan was having a sweet dream, there was a sudden bang in the distance.
This loud noise almost shocked Daishan to the point of cardiac arrest, and his face instantly turned pale.
Immediately afterwards, there were continuous loud explosions. Dai Shan looked back anxiously and saw a fiery red mushroom cloud rising from the sea where the materials had been handed over.
Looking at this huge mushroom cloud, Daishan was stunned.
Mandahai and other disciples as well as Luo Luohun and other grandsons were also stunned.
Is this a trap? Is this bitch Yan Yingyuan really pretending to surrender?
"Quick!" Daishan reacted after a moment and shouted with a dark face, "Old Seven, take someone to pick him up quickly and see how Old Four is doing. Go quickly!"
"Hey!" Man Dahai hurriedly led his troops and rushed over.
However, when Mandahai and his troops arrived, they saw that the sea water was burning.
The shallow and turbid sea water was strewn with corpses of Green Camp soldiers. All you could see were broken corpses, with few complete ones visible, and even the heads were broken.
"Fourth!" Man Dahai wailed heart-piercingly.
However, no one responded, only the sea water was boiling.
…
The news quickly spread to Dorgon's Chinese army tent.
"Master, it is indeed a false surrender." He Luohui reported in a low voice, "The Ming army used ice sledges loaded with wheat as bait, but in fact there was a gunpowder barrel hidden under the wheat."
"Blow the green battalion soldiers who came to respond to the attack to pieces."
After a pause, he added: "Gushan Beizi Wakda was also blown to pieces."
"Wakda was also killed in the bombing?" Dorgon's expression froze when he heard this.
"Dead." He Luohui said, "Man Dahai only picked up half of his skull."
Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is Prince Li okay? Is there nothing wrong?"
"It is said that the Ming army was so angry." He Luohui whispered, "I was so angry that I vomited blood."
Dorgon then turned around and told Cao Eryu: "Cao Eryu, send the mountain ginseng to Prince Li, and also convey my greetings to Prince Li, asking him to take care of himself for the sake of the Qing Dynasty."
"Hey." Cao Eryu took the order and left.
…
"Master, drink the medicine."
Wu Zhizhong brought the freshly prepared medicine to Daishan's soft couch.
"No." Dai Shan frowned and said, "I'm not sick, so what medicine should I drink? Take it out and pour it out."
Wu Zhizhong cast a look for help at the side of Yanxi County King Luo Luohun. Luo Luohun took the medicine bowl from Wu Zhizhong's hand, then sat on the bed and persuaded Daishan: "Mafa, this is not a herbal medicine, it is
Ginseng soup.”
Dai Shan did not like his eldest son Yue Tuo, but he still thought highly of Luo Luohun, his second grandson who inherited the red flag. Especially since Yue Tuo's death, the relationship between the grandfather and grandson has become closer.
Daishan still gave Luo Luohun face and drank the medicine with a frown.
As a result, just after drinking the medicine, Cao Eryu walked in holding a wooden box.
"Prince Li, the emperor's father and the regent knew that you were sick, so he sent a servant to bring an old wild ginseng tree." Cao Eryu placed the wooden box in front of Daishan's soft couch and said, "The emperor's father and the regent also said, let's
You must take care of yourself for the sake of the Qing Dynasty."
"You came here specifically to watch my jokes for the Fourteenth, right?" Daishan was furious, "Get out, get out!"
Luo Luojun was also furious and said sternly: "Come here, kick this damn dog slave out of here!"

"Mafa, you don't have to worry about it." Luo Luohun persuaded Shan while comforting his chest, "As long as we can capture Dakou within ten days, Dorgon will not be able to tolerate the joke of two red flags."
Daishan said: "But it is not easy to capture Dagokou in ten days."
Luo Luo said in a deep voice: "At this point, there is no other way. We can only let the green battalion soldiers hollow out the slope protection outside the Ming army's gun platform, and then directly use the red cannon to get closer and bombard it!"
"As long as the slope protection is dug out, the Ming army's gun platform will be like the one in Zhihu."
"With the two gun towers on the periphery, it will be easy to descend from Dagukou!"
"My child, it's not that simple." Daishan shook his head and sighed, "You think too simply."
While the grandfather and grandson were talking, Wu Zhizhong came in and reported, "Master, there is an envoy from the Ming Army asking to see you."
"Messenger of the Ming Army?" Luo Luojun said angrily, "If you don't see it, behead the envoy and hang his head in front of the formation."
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
Wu Zhizhong snorted and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Dai Shan: "Wait a minute, go ask the Ming army envoy to come in!"
Wu Zhizhong looked at Luo Luohun with a pleading look. Should he behead him or invite the Ming army envoys to come in? You and your grandson should give you an accurate answer, otherwise it will be difficult for us to do what we do below.
Luo Luohun said impatiently: "Are you deaf? Go and ask the Ming army envoy to come in!"
"Hey!" Wu Zhizhong agreed and quickly went out of the tent to invite the Ming army envoys in.
By this time, Dai Shan had already sat down on the big tiger-skin chair with the help of Luo Luohun.
After a while, a middle-aged Confucian scholar came in, bowed to Dai Shan and said, "I, Chen Mingyu, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Prince of the Qing Dynasty."
"Chen Mingyu, right?" Dai Shan said, "What does Yan Yingyuan want to do?"
"Prince Li Rongchen." Chen Mingyu replied calmly, "Something happened last night. Mr. Yan was originally planning to donate all the supplies stored in Dagokou, but just before he left,
, Chongzhen, the supervisor sent to the army by the Dog Emperor, suddenly came to inspect and detained our Lord Yan."
"You mean Yan Yingyuan was detained?" Dai Shan asked.
"Then what happened to the dozens of ice sledge grains last night?"
"I was about to discuss this matter with Prince Li." Chen Mingyu replied, "That's a trick by the supervisor."
Luo Luohun asked with a dark face: "You mean, it was Chongzhen's supervisor who plotted against us last night? And Yan Yingyuan was also detained by him, so he is innocent?"
"Yes." Chen Mingyu responded solemnly.
Luo Luohun sneered: "Do you think we will believe it?"
"Believe it or not, that's the truth." Chen Mingyu said calmly.
"This is a fact." Luo Luohun said angrily, "What you said is really light. Do you know that hundreds of Green Camp soldiers were shattered to pieces last night? There was even my fourth uncle among them!
"
"Is this happening? I would like to express my deepest apologies to Prince Li on behalf of Mr. Yan."
Chen Mingyu bowed deeply and said: "In addition, Mr. Yan also asked me to tell Prince Li that the supervisors sent by Chongzhen in the army have been killed by him, but the other two Qin princes are unwilling to do so.
Follow him and submit to the Qing Dynasty, so he can only bring his tribe to the Qing Dynasty. If Prince Li is still willing to accept it, he can send troops to take over Dagukou at midnight tonight, or my Lord Yan can lead the tribe out.
It’s okay to return to the village and surrender.”
When Luo Luohun was about to refuse, he was interrupted by Daishan.
"Okay." Dai Shan said, "Then let Yan Yingyuan lead his troops across the Wei River at midnight tonight and go to the wilderness north of the Wei River to receive the adaptation. In addition, he will bring all the materials hoarded in Dagukou Village with him.
Come on, don't leave a grain of grain or a pound of gunpowder for the Ming army at the other two gun stations!"
"Of course." Chen Mingyu said hurriedly, "I will definitely bring all the supplies."
After a pause, he added: "In addition to the supplies, there are also 10 Hongyi cannons and 20 squatting tiger cannons. These should be regarded as a meeting gift from my Lord Yan to the Qing Dynasty."
"That's it, then it's settled." Dai Shan said happily.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Chen Ming bowed his head and stood up to leave.
As soon as Chen Mingyu left, Luo Luohun said with a dark face: "Mafa, this Chen Mingyu keeps telling lies. Yan Yingyuan clearly has no good intentions. How can you believe it?"
"How could Mafa not know that Yan Yingyuan has bad intentions?" Daishan sneered.
"But this time, huh, Mafa wanted Yan Yingyuan to be clever, but he was misled by his cleverness!"
"What do you mean?" Luo Luohun couldn't guess what Daishan meant.
Daishan didn't say much, he just smiled and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
After a pause, he then said: "Go and call Zhen Wu Shojin of the Han Army in Gushan'e, Zhenghong Banner."
…
After Chen Mingyu returned to Dagokou, he received the warmest welcome.
Including Yan Yingyuan, dozens of scholars stood in a row and bowed to Chen Mingyu.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Chen Mingyu hurriedly returned the greeting, "Isn't it just a visit to the Jiannu camp? As the two countries are fighting without killing each other, there is no danger."
"That's not what you say." Sun Fanzhi waved his hand and said, "This time, after all, Jiannu has just been tricked by us. To be honest, we are really worried about you."
"Fortunately, there was no danger." Yan Yingyuan stood up after bowing and said, "Gongchen, what did the old thief Daishan say?"
"Just as Jianheng expected, Daishan really agreed." Chen Mingyu smiled slightly and added, "He also specifically told me to tell you to bring all the troops and supplies with me."
Yan Yingyuan's eyes turned to Feng Houdun again: "Pei Qing, are you ready?"
"I have already prepared it over there." Feng Houdun said, "But let me tell you in advance whether it will work or not. I don't dare to guarantee it to you. If the slaves don't enter the valley, don't blame me."
"As long as you do as I say, the slaves will definitely enter the valley."
Yan Yingyuan laughed and said: "Jiannu wants to play war with us, but he's still far from it."
Speaking of this meal, Yan Yingyuan said again: "Okay, let's go back and prepare."
At that moment, all the soldiers returned to prepare, and then at midnight, Chen Mingyu led a battalion of new troops, brought hundreds of sledges and supplies, lit torches and marched out of the stronghold in a grand manner.
…
The movement here was quickly reported to Dorgon's tent.
"What's going on?" Dorgon asked in surprise, "Which song is Yan Yingyuan singing?"
In the last round, Dorgon could more or less understand Yan Yingyuan's plan, which was nothing more than to feign surrender first, and then hide elite armored soldiers on the ice sledge, or hide a large number of explosives.
The final facts also proved that Dorgon's judgment was correct.
But this time, Dorgon couldn't understand Yan Yingyuan's approach at all.
Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo also thought hard and tried to figure out Yan Yingyuan's intentions.
Fulin also obeyed E Niang's advice and remained silent, but his mind did not stop for a moment. At this moment, he was racking his brains to guess Yan Yingyuan's intention.
After a pause, Dorgon continued: "Yan Yingyuan has already tricked Lao Daishan once with the trick of surrendering. He shouldn't be so stupid as to think that Lao Daishan will be tricked a second time, right? If Yan Yingyuan thought of it,
Daishan will not be fooled again, so why would he pretend to surrender a second time? What exactly does he want to do?"
At this time, Hou Fangyu suddenly shouted: "The master is not good!"
I just happened to write it here, it was not intentional]
