Chapter 256: Arrogant Wu Sangui
As soon as this literati said this, the Fenwei Wei was stunned in his heart, not to mention, he was really a little scared. Anyway, it's just a confession, and it's not a lot of meat, and as for whether the general sees it, it's not his own business, just tell it yourself.
Captain Fenwei said to a non-commissioned officer behind him, "Go and tell me!" With that, the non-commissioned officer rushed down and told Liu Xia to leave.
When Liu Xia gave orders in the future, he didn't dare to open the city gate and put the literati inside. Captain Fenwei stared at the literati motionlessly, and the musketeers also aimed their muskets at the literati, lest something might happen. The literati, on the other hand, walked comfortably under the castle tower, not paying any attention to his surroundings.
He was smiling and looked unusually relaxed, as if Liu Xia would definitely come to see him. It made the captain on the top of the city tower stunned.
A hurried clutter of footsteps rang out.
I saw a non-commissioned officer running in in a hurry. At this time, Liu Xia was looking at the map and was speechless for a long time.
"Report! Lord, someone outside the city asked to see him, saying that it was a confidential matter related to the enemy's army, and he wanted to meet you, Lord. β
Liu Xia raised his head, his face full of doubts. Who will come at this time? Or is it a secret matter of the enemy army, could it be a traitor among the enemy army? "Who is it?" β
The non-commissioned officer said: "I don't know, he didn't say his name, he just said that he had a secret report from the enemy, and he looked like a literati, but his face was vicissitudes, and his clothes were tattered, like a broken family." β
"Oh? Enemy Secrets! This king wants to see it, if there is a great chaos today, countless talented people live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and virtuous people lie in the market. And don't be lazy, you brought that literati in the past. β
The sergeant had just said that, and he was going to leave.
"Wait!"
I saw that he had just turned around, and before he walked out of the door, Liu Xia called out again, and the non-commissioned officer quickly stopped and turned around: "I don't know what the prince commands?" β
Liu Xia said: "You can't force it, you have to invite a good student." The non-commissioned officer secretly glanced at Liu Xia with some surprise, and saw that Liu Xia's face was not like a joke, and secretly noted it in his heart.
The non-commissioned officer returned to the top of the castle tower after only a cup of tea, and saw him respectfully say to the Fenwei lieutenant: "My lord, the prince has ordered the literati under the city to enter the city to meet him." And he also said, please come over and don't embarrass him. β
The Fenwei Wei didn't ask, but looked at the literati who was still strolling around the city, and shouted: "My lord wants to see you, and the official will open the city gate for you, and you should retreat a few feet, and I will put down the rope, so as not to hurt you by mistake." β
The literati still had a smile on his face, and he also smiled at the Fenwei Lieutenant, and said, "Thank you, General." He took a few steps back, and then the drawbridge slowly fell, and then the city gate also 'creak~', and finally dozens of sergeants rushed out of the city gate.
Let's say that in the Runing Mansion, the Kuiwolf Legion commanded Ma Peng, followed the strategy of the military advisor Chen Liu, and ambushed the men on the two peaks to ambush Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui led 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he was arrogant along the way, and he didn't care about the Pingbei Army at all, and Wu Sangui didn't have any precautions at all. His subordinate general, Ma Bao, stepped forward to speak, but was repelled by Wu Sangui.
When they entered the valley, there was a commotion on the calm peaks on both sides. I saw countless gunshots ringing out.
Bang bang
Countless gunshots suddenly roared like thunder and thunderbolts shook on a sunny day.
Wu Sangui's 30,000-strong army fell into panic in an instant, the war horse was frightened and neighed, and the soldiers were shocked by the sudden sound of guns and cannons.
After a round of muskets, although Wu Sangui's army suffered few casualties, the horror was extremely great. γ
Wu Sangui rode on his horse and kept shouting loudly: "Don't be afraid, the enemy's muskets can't beat us, they just scare us, their muskets can't hit us at all!" β
Before Wu Sangui could shout, another round of muskets rang out, and this time the musket hit rate was higher, hundreds of soldiers were shot in one round, and more than half of the dead were killed. Countless soldiers did not die in bullets, but were trampled to death by their own people.
The muskets kept rang out, and then the cannon kept firing. The whole valley was full of mourning, dead and wounded. Blood was all over the ground, and corpses were all over the valley.
Drive! Drive!
Ma Bao hurriedly rode his horse to Wu Sangui's side with an anxious face, and hurriedly shouted: "King, king." Oh no, many soldiers were in chaos and began to flee in all directions. β
Wu Sangui heard that it was Ma Bao who came, and he couldn't help but feel ugly in his heart, before Ma Bao told him that there was an ambush in this valley, but how could he just kill Shang Kexi Not long ago, Wu Sangui was still excited, full of arrogance, where can others point fingers at the soldiers and horses he deployed?
Ma Bao's previous words have now become true, where does Wu Sangui still have the face to see him, but now that it is very timely, Wu Sangui can't frame him with other excuses at will. Said: "Quickly gather troops, this place is still hundreds of meters away from the exit of the valley, we should rush out quickly, so as not to suffer too many casualties, once we kill out of the valley, the ambush enemy troops on both sides will be nullified." Our army has 30,000 soldiers and horses, all of them are mighty and majestic, like heavenly soldiers descending into the world, and heavenly generals will come in person. The so-called Kui Wolf Legion is just a clown jumping off the beam, as long as they leave this valley, this king will definitely want them to look good! β
Ma Bao looked and saw that the valley exit was empty, but it was still far away. Xinfu: It's unreasonable that this valley mouth is so empty! If the enemy ambushes us in this valley, it will inevitably be until we are all annihilated, and there will certainly be no such careless opening. It seems that there must have been an ambush in the valley as well. No, you have to give it to the king quickly, and let the king deal with it carefully.
"King, the mountain pass is empty, it must not be safe on the surface, maybe the enemy army has arranged iron horses and horses, waiting for us, if we retreat and go back, he will make plans again in the future!"
After Ma Baojin finished speaking, Wu Sangui's face gradually turned red, from red to white, and finally to iron blue, and he angrily reprimanded: "The criminal minister has to disturb the hearts of our army!" Lonely thought that you are a tiger general, strong and hard, and fast in tactics, so he ordered you to be the general of the left army and the general of Anton. Today, when you encounter a small rub by the enemy, you threaten to flee back to the city, which is the heart of the chaotic and lonely army! If it weren't for the fact that it was an abnormal time now, Lone would definitely not have killed you! Today's sin will be written down for the time being, and he will deal with it in the future, if you let Lone Wen say that you have two hearts, you will definitely be punished by the nine clans! β
Wu Sangui said that, Ma Bao was suddenly petrified, and his heart was like the cold wind piercing his bones, like a thousand knives piercing his heart.
Ma Bao couldn't believe that these words were actually said by the king he respected the most, if it weren't for what he saw with his own eyes and heard with his own ears, he would definitely not believe that these words were actually said about him. This is not the wise and martial King of Chu Wu Sangui he knows!
Why!
Ma Bao sighed, what did he do wrong, but he just reminded him that he had exterminated the Nine Clans!
I wanted to follow him for countless years, fought on the battlefield, killed the Manchu Tartars, killed the Han people, and saved him countless times, but I didn't expect that I would end up like this.
Ma Bao's face turned pale, Wu Sangui glanced at it, his face was still bruised, and there was no change. I also regretted a little because of my previous words, but I only regretted it a little, and I didn't explain and comfort and admit my mistakes. He naturally believed that Ma Bao was loyal, but he humiliated him like this for the sake of his monarch's face, a subordinate general was too smart than his master, and the master naturally felt uncomfortable, Wu Sangui felt that Ma Bao was slapping him in the face every time he spoke.
Wu Sangui's status has improved now, and he wants to save face even more. But if anyone does not give him face, he will destroy your name.
What the Chinese like the most is face. The more noble the identity, the more important it is to save face.
Ma Bao seemed to have aged ten years and became decadent.
Not to mention the two of them, let's talk about this battlefield, the sound of muskets continued to sound one after another, and it never stopped for a moment. One round goes on and another round. The Chu army suffered heavy casualties. With Wu Sangui's order, an army of less than 30,000 began to rush towards the exit, which was not wide and could only accommodate more than a dozen people to pass at the same time, but this army had 30,000 people, and they suddenly trampled on all sides.
Before they could go out, they heard the sound of horses' hooves outsideβ
