Seeing that Ni Yuanlu's magic weapon was so powerful, Zuo Liangyu, Cao Wenzhao and others were stunned, looked at Ni Yuanlu and then at Lu Xiangsheng, and said in their hearts, this civil official is usually polite and polite, and he can make such a big move when he starts to make a threat, it seems that he is not a good type.

was sighing when he suddenly saw Ni Yuanlu fall on his back, with an arrow on top of his head, Zuo Liangyu shouted: "Lord Ni, what's wrong with you?" ”

Everyone gathered around at this time, and when they saw Ni Yuanlu piercing an arrow above his head and his eyes closed, he couldn't help but feel sour, Zuo Liangyu even shed tears and said: "Lord Ni, you can't die, the last general began to make fun of you with lard, and was about to apologize to you, you can't die if you haven't heard the last general's apology." After saying that, he cried loudly. When everyone heard Zuo Liangyu's cry, they didn't feel good in their hearts.

The Jurchens under the city were frightened under the blows of two waves of grenades, and they scrambled to turn around and flee backwards, but there were 10,000 people crowded in a place more than a mile wide, and it was not easy to run back quickly.

The mine-throwers in the city saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and they did not receive the order to stop the attack, so they threw the grenades again one after another, and with the sound of explosions, the dead and wounded of the Jurchen cavalry were hit hard again, and at this time everyone was sober, and fled backwards on horseback, and more than 1,000 Jurchen soldiers died in this battle, and there were two or three thousand wounded, which was considered a reduction of half. Seeing that more than half of the 10,000 people in front of them were killed or wounded in an instant, the two 10,000 people in the back looked at each other for a while and did not dare to move forward, so they hurriedly sent people to inquire about the news.

At this time, at the head of the city wall of Yueziguan, Huang Daozhou found a trace of abnormality, how could Ni Yuanlu not bleed when he died? He stopped everyone's crying and gently pulled out the arrow on Ni Yuanlu's head with his hand, the arrow shot at the top of his head was pulled out by Huang Daozhou forcefully and left Ni Yuanlu's head together, and after a closer look, it turned out that Ni Yuanlu's actual height was shorter than everyone originally saw, in order to appear slightly taller, he lined a small piece of wood in his hat, and the Jurchen man's arrow was just pierced on the wood in the hat. In this way, it seems that Ni Yuanlu is only temporarily unconscious, and everyone is overjoyed to pinch and scratch his armpits, and it took a while for Ni Yuanlu to wake up.

Ni Yuanlu woke up and saw everyone surrounding him, thought for a while and asked, "I'm not dead?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled: "Dead, but alive again." ”

Ni Yuanlu touched his head, found that his hat had fallen off, and said embarrassedly: "I'm short and afraid of your jokes, adding a piece of wood to line the hat looks a little taller, who knows that you still found out." ”

Huang Daozhou also smiled and said: "In fact, lining the hat with wood does not make you look taller, it will only make your head look longer, if you really want to look tall, you should put something in the official boots, but I estimate that many people will line the hat with wood in the future, so maybe you can pick up a life at a critical moment like Lord Ni today." ”

Zuo Liangyu said at this time: "Actually, Lord Ni doesn't need to pad anywhere, after this war, Lord Ni's image will be very tall in our hearts, that magic weapon is too perverted, 10,000 people were beaten away by your 200 people like this." ”

As soon as he heard Zuo Liangyu mention the magic weapon, Ni Yuanlu's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly got up and asked the Jinyi guard officer next to him: "How many grenades are there?" ”

The Jinyi guard officer said: "It's gone, it's all gone, and the effect is very good." ”

Ni Yuanlu hurriedly said: "This thing is not mainly used to kill people, it is mainly used to scare people, what should you do if you all lose all the Jurchens and come back?" ”

The Jinyi guard officer said, "Didn't Lord Ni discuss it with everyone? Raising the red flag and striking the gong is to tell everyone to prepare, putting down the red flag is ordering everyone to throw grenades, and dancing the red flag again and striking the gong is to stop the attack. ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "I fainted as soon as I was scared, so quickly wave the red flag and beat the gong to make people in other places stop, and save one and count one." ”

Listening to Ni Yuanlu's words, the Jinyi guard officer hurriedly danced the red flag and sounded the gong, this move was useless, because everyone threw away the grenade, but the Jurchens under the city misunderstood.

At first, I saw that the red flag was raised on the head of the city and the gong was struck, the Jurchens didn't know what it meant, and then after being hit one after another, everyone finally knew that this was the signal of the Ming army's attack, 10,000 people were disabled and ran back, and the remaining 20,000 people were asking for orders on the spot, and now seeing the Ming army dancing the red flag and beating the gong, I couldn't help but be even more afraid in my heart and ran away without waiting for the order to turn around, and shouted while running: "Run, the Ming army is killed." Dai Shan was just thinking in astonishment, when he heard the sound of the gong and saw that his army was defeated and retreated, knowing that the army had no fighting spirit, he sighed and had to order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

Everyone at the head of the city wall of Yuezi Pass laughed when they saw it, saying that the Jurchens were frightened birds. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng said: "The lower officials have a suggestion, since the Jurchens have no fighting spirit, it is better to rob the camp tonight." ”

Cao Wenzhao's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, take advantage of his illness to kill him." ”

Huang Daozhou thought for a while and asked, "How many soldiers are there to fight?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "There are not many people who need to rob the camp, there should be enough for 1,000 people, and it is not good if there are too many people in the dark." ”

Huang Daozhou consulted the governor Wang Huazhen's opinion and said: "Okay, wealth and wealth are in danger, and tonight will trouble Lu Yushi and General Cao." ”

Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao said: "You should obey orders. ”

At this time, Zuo Liangyu said: "If Lord Ni still has a magic weapon, it will be more certain to fight with the Jurchens, I don't know if that thing is easy to do?" After speaking, his eyes were full of antiquity.

Ni Yuanlu said: "That thing is not a magic weapon called a grenade, it has to be made by a special craftsman, and it costs dozens of taels of silver to make one." ”

Wang Huazhen next to him was shocked and asked, "Didn't you throw out tens of thousands of taels of silver at the beginning?" ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "Yes, but tens of thousands of taels to kill thousands of people is still calculated." Everyone nodded in agreement.

At night, Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao quietly went out of the city with a thousand cavalry, and in order to hide all of them, they put on white robes outside, which were integrated with the snow on the ground, and it snowed heavily in the sky overnight, making it even more difficult to find everyone's traces. The Jurchen camp was on the east side of Ningyuan City, and just as Lu Xiangsheng and the others were bypassing the northeast corner of Ningyuan City, they were discovered by the soldiers patrolling the city at the head of Ningyuan City. Thinking that the Jurchens took advantage of the snowy night to sneak attack Ningyuan City, the soldiers immediately beat gongs and drums to warn, and countless torches were immediately raised on the city.

Originally, their marching route was still more than two miles away from Ningyuan City, and they did not ventilate with the people in Ningyuan City in advance for fear of revealing the wind.

Cao Wenzhao asked Lu Xiangsheng bitterly in his heart: "Lu Jianjun, what should I do if the sneak attack can't be completed now?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Now there is no retreat, take advantage of the fact that the Jurchens are still unprepared, rush up and kill for a while, and then say, don't go around in circles with us and come back when you see the opportunity." ”

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he was immediately full of pride, and said, "Then rush over and talk about it." With that, he drew his knife.

Lu Xiangsheng waved his gun and said, "Everyone follow me and don't fall behind." After speaking, he took the lead and rushed towards the Jurchen camp two miles to the east.

The two-mile road was actually not long in the eyes of the cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to the front of the Jurchen camp, and seeing that there were only a few lonely lamps in the camp, and the rest of the place was pitch black, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but feel a burst of joy and shouted: "Raise the fire." Then he opened the door of the camp with a gun and rushed in, and the 1,000 soldiers behind lit torches and rushed in with Lu Xiangsheng, lighting every camp tent along the way, and suddenly the fire in the Jurchen village was bright.

Lu Xiangsheng felt that something was wrong at this time, why was he picking a camp and setting fires, why didn't he see anyone come out? Is there a deception in it? Ordinary people are afraid that they will hesitate to retreat at this time, but Lu Xiangsheng is bold, and rushed to the largest Chinese military camp tent with a loud shout, and rushed to the front of the Chinese military tent only to see that the tent door was wide open and there was no one inside, Cao Wenzhao said anxiously next to him: "Oops, we may have been tricked, what should we do?" ”
