The one who resented this busy scene was the patriarch of the Ace tribe, Asno.

After complaining in his heart, he began to look for an opportunity to inquire about the news he wanted.

Talking directly to the Ming army, the language barrier is impossible. However, there are people from Yunnan on the Ming army's side, and those who understand the various tribal dialects on the Dongwu side are the ones who are communicating with the various tribes in Dongwu.

Asno just set the target on a person in charge of food, and began to set almost, stuffing agate, jade, jade and the like, saying something about a little local specialty, worthless things, don't see anything outside.

The one who can be chosen by King Taron to do this work, in addition to being faithful, is certainly a good eloquent. After quickly getting closer, he inquired about the food situation of the Ming army in a roundabout way, how long it would take for the Ming army to send supplies, how many people and so on.

These questions are confidential, and it is certainly not okay to ask them directly. For this reason, Asnodu has thought of a lot of ways, trying to ask these questions in a way that will not attract attention. It can be said that this question communication, I don't know how long it took him to meditate before it came to fruition.

The so-called hard work pays off, at least that's what Asno himself thinks. He really got a lot of news, and after a little summary and speculation, he could get the answer he wanted, and then left happily.

However, what Asno never expected was that as soon as he left, the person he thought was a fool turned to a camp next door and told the people inside: "Asno really came to find the villain, and the villain told him what he had told the adults according to the command." ”

The person in this camp tent is Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard sent by Emperor Chongzhen to the rear camp. At this point, he nodded his head in understanding.

At the same time, he was also very impressed in his heart. The emperor really saw that there was a problem with the patriarch of the Asi clan, and if he planned it, he would make Dongwu's side suffer a big loss!

Hehe, even these barbarians also want to wrestle with the emperor, it's really a grasshopper shaking the tree, and they can't do it for themselves!

…………

The next day, Asno appeared in the city of Ava and personally reported to King Talon. In the main hall, everyone else was kicked out, and only Tai Tai Tun, who participated in the matter, was accompanied.

As soon as Asno saw the face of King Talon, he was indignant and complained first, saying how much grain did so-and-so tribe send to the Ming army, and how much grain did so-and-so tribe send to the Ming army......

Hearing these news of him, King Talong's face became very ugly. After hearing this, he didn't want to listen to it anymore, and if he listened to it again, he was afraid that he would vomit blood, so he angrily interrupted Asno's small report: "These are written down by Lone, Lone defeated the Ming army, and he will definitely settle accounts." I want you to do things, but you can do it? ”

Asno personally ran into the city, there should be something to gain. Therefore, King Taron had a little hope in his heart.

As soon as Asno saw that King Talong was showing signs of anger, he didn't dare to say anything else, and hurriedly said: "Ask the king to go to Hongfu, the villain really inquired." If it is the same as before, three days after the Ming army, a large number of grain and grass materials will be delivered. This is the last batch before the rainy season arrives, and there are many of them. The Ming army guarding the guard, according to the previous practice, should not exceed 1,000 people, and the others are just people from Yunnan. ”

As soon as he heard this, King Talong couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Good, good, good! ”

Three good words in a row, you can see how happy he is.

Without this news, it would be unrealistic to wait and see. Not only do I not know when the Ming army will arrive, but I also don't return to the scale of the Ming army's grain protection, etc. If the road is destroyed in advance, the Ming army will definitely send people to build the road, so as not to affect the transportation of grain and grass materials, and will be strangled along the way. There are so many traitors here, and the ambush will be discovered.

Now that we know the general situation of the transportation of grain and grass materials for the Ming army, we can start with it.

As for the number of the Ming army guarding the grain, it is already a bit too much compared to the total strength of the Ming army. The more people who carry food, the more food is consumed on the road. As far as the road situation on Dongwu's side is concerned, the amount consumed on this road must not be underestimated.

After being happy for a while, King Ta Long immediately turned his head to look at Tai Tai Tun and said, "You have experience in fighting with the Ming army, and you will command this battle." They are now hidden in the valley below the highest peak of My Rat. Five thousand against one, or surprise and unpreparedness, are you sure? ”

The team that transports grain is a long line, and there are 1,000 soldiers who protect the grain, and they have to take care of the front and back, and the troops are even more scattered. It can be said that if there is really an ambush, the battle will definitely be easy to fight.

Tai Tai Tun thought so in his heart, and it can be said that this is a very easy military feat. What made him even happier was that Mu Dali, the commander of the ambush army, had pressed him before, and he was still ranked above him. But now, he actually has the opportunity to take over the command of Mu Dali, which shows that he has surpassed Mu Dali in the mind of King Talong!

Thinking of this, Tai Tai Tun couldn't help but be extremely excited, and he couldn't even bother to marvel at the fact that King Ta Long hid the ambush army so deeply, and hurriedly patted his chest, expressing his willingness to make a military order, and if he didn't succeed, he would become a benevolent!

…………

What they never expected was that this time, King Ta Long finally said the hiding place of the ambush soldiers, which made Emperor Chongzhen breathe a sigh of relief. There is such an ambush soldier hiding behind him, which makes him feel like he is sharp on his back, and he can't sleep steadily, and now that he knows where to hide, everything is easy to say.

Thinking so, he immediately arranged for deployment, and started the battle with King Ta Long again.

…………

In the past few days, although there has been no large-scale fighting outside Ava City, small-scale fighting has continued. The Ming army was small in number, but it kept coming to provoke the Dongwu army outside the city.

On the side of the Dongwu army, it is not possible not to fight, otherwise, the morale will definitely be lower. But if there is a war, and the number of people is too large, a large-scale war will be formed, which is strictly forbidden by King Talon. Besides, they also saw the strength of the Ming army, and they didn't dare to cause a big war, for fear of falling into the fate of the Kunda tribe.

However, if the number of people is small, how much they go out, how many heads will be thrown back by the Ming army; Luckily, they all fled back with a panicked face, and they didn't dare to go out again, bluntly saying that the combat power of the Ming army soldiers was too strong, and a few more of them were not enough to fight.

This is not good, that is not good, the morale of the Dongwu army, especially the Dongwu army deployed outside the city, is lower than one day by day. Many tribes even retreated and wanted to withdraw their troops, and even some tribes were thinking that they would either take refuge in the Ming Kingdom.

This will definitely not work, and most of the patriarchs of the clans outside the city united and made a request to King Talong, asking King Talong to take them to fight to the death with the Ming army. They believed that with King Talong's Praetorian Guard as the main force, and with their many more people than the Ming army, they would definitely win!

For this kind of request, of course, King Ta Long will not agree. If he had said yes, he would have done it a long time ago.

Although he still has a certain amount of confidence in his own Praetorian Guard, but that is where he dominates Dongwu and becomes the king of Dongwu, how can he easily have losses.

He could even think that if his Praetorian Guard suffered heavy losses in this battle, even if he won the Ming army, maybe the fruits of this victory would be plucked by other tribes.

In the past, if he hadn't seen the defeated soldiers of the Kunda tribe and the tendency to overwhelm all the armies outside the city, if he hadn't seen the Ming army's artillery not following up, he wouldn't have sent his war elephant troops out of the city to fight the Ming army first.

However, now that morale is low, so many tribal chiefs have jointly requested, and he must also be cautious. In this regard, he decided to reveal a little news, so he said to the people below: "Don't be impatient, as long as you wait for another five days, no, wait for another four days, and Lone will give you a great surprise." ”

Hearing this, the patriarchs of the various tribes were a little surprised. Of course, they will not be satisfied just to get such a sentence, and many people immediately asked.

"My king, what are the surprises at such times?"

"Yes, if you can defeat the Ming army, it will be a surprise! However, a few days will you be able to defeat the Ming army? ”

“……”

In the face of their doubts, to be honest, King Ta Long was quite annoyed in his heart. If before the war, what tribe would dare to be so rude to him, believe it or not, he destroyed that tribe!

Obviously, the Ming Emperor's army was pressing, and the war was not going well, which caused his prestige to be damaged, and these people were not afraid of him very much!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he secretly remembered the patriarchs who questioned him the most, and then he said lightly: "Everyone, have you seen Mu Dali?" ”

Mu Dali had vaguely overwhelmed Tai Tai Tun before, and was the first confidant of King Talong, and the commander of King Talong's Praetorian Guard.

But at this time, when he mentioned this, these patriarchs all came back to their senses. That's right, this time, when the king was around, why didn't he see Mu Dali?

Before, they thought that Mu Dali was left in the capital by King Talong, but at this time, listening to King Talong's meaning, it seems that he has another appointment?

The matter of ambushing the Ming army can't be said too much, and King Talong's words can only be to the point, and he continues to say to their patriarchs: "Now Tai Tai Tun and Mu Dali are carrying out one of Gu's wills, as long as they can succeed, Gu can use this throne as a guarantee, and the Ming army will be defeated!" ”

Hehe, if the Ming army is undefeated, you can still sit on this throne? Many people couldn't help but sneer in their hearts when they heard this.

However, I finally got a guarantee from the mouth of King Talong, and I would give them a big surprise. Unless you turn your face with King Talong, you can only listen to King Talon.

After receiving such an answer, they could only grit their teeth and insist, hoping that after four days, the big surprise that King Long said would really come.
