136 Outwitting the Water Master
The commander of the Denglai Navy Division is the Ming Dynasty general Liu Wuyuan, who was a guerrilla in the Ming Dynasty, assisted Zu Dashou to guard the Daling River, after the battle of the Daling River, followed Zu Dashou to surrender, awarded the staff leader, and gave the third-class light car lieutenant of the world, because Denglai could not find a suitable person for a while, so he temporarily replaced the Laizhou garrison and commanded the naval army.
Furong Island is only ten miles away from the coast of Laizhou, after receiving the letter from Sukh Saha and Chen Jin, Liu Wuyuan also immediately led the army to the coast to meet him, he is also a person who has fought a hard battle, knowing that Laizhou may not be able to hold it, this is Chen Jin and Suke Saha are looking for a way to retreat, if they die in battle, they will also be punished, and they dare not delay a bit.
"My lord, shall we dock at the shore, or shall we enter the water?" When the fleet came to the estuary, his soldiers also came to ask Liu Wuyuan for advice.
"Dock at the coast for the time being, and send someone to find out the news!" Liu Wuyuan also seemed very cautious, and did not rush to drive into the water, who knows what the situation is now, Cao Bianjiao is not a vegetarian, he doesn't want to be calculated.
The army looked for a suitable port on the coast and stopped, and also set up a simple camp to defend against the enemy who came from the shore, Liu Wuyuan was also cautious, more than two hours passed, and the scouts who went to find out the news also returned.
"How's it going?" Liu Wuyuan also asked anxiously after seeing the Hui people.
The scout hurriedly replied: "My lord, the periphery of Laizhou Mansion is full of enemy sentries and patrols, and it is difficult to get close at all. ”
"Got it, you go down!" Liu Wuyuan waved his hand, and he was also very worried in his heart, whether Chen Jin and Suke Saha could stand out, they had few soldiers, and they had to be responsible for the defense of the ship, so they could only respond, but if they wanted to do something else, they would be powerless and could only rely on them.
"My lord, when the little one came back, I saw that the Ming army sentry was chasing and killing a person, it seemed that it was our man, and the little one immediately secretly rescued him, and now this person is recuperating in the camp, the injury is not light, and he is still in a coma."
"Take me to see it!"
Liu Wuyuan came to another boat on the shore and saw that the medical officer was treating a scarred soldier, and immediately asked, "How is it?" ”
The medical officer shook his head and sighed: "My lord, the injury is too serious, not to mention one arrow on his body, and there are seven or eight knife wounds, which cannot be saved, but my lord, when I treated him again, I found that he had a letter in his body, and I was trying to report it to my lord." ”
"Show me!" Liu Wuyuan also hurriedly brought the letter, wanting to see what the situation was, this person was wearing the clothes of his own soldiers and horses, maybe he was killed from Laizhou.
"I see!" Liu Wuyuan also laughed at the moment and breathed a sigh of relief.
In early autumn, although the hot summer has passed, the climate is still hot, especially on such a windless night, insects and birds chirping, which makes people even more restless.
"Slow down, give the order, all the ships move slowly, don't make too much noise, the scouts on the shore are closely watching!"
Hundreds of large and small ships, taking advantage of the moonless and dark night, slowly sailed into the water, it was Liu Wuyuan led the Denglai Naval Division, today during the day, Liu Wuyuan got the letter from the wounded soldier was sent by Chen Jin, ready to withdraw from the Laizhou capital tonight, to Dengzhou garrison, so Liu Wuyuan immediately began to deploy, the agreed time is ugly, but he must set off an hour in advance, arrive at the meeting place in advance.
Hetaokou, only ten miles away from Fuchengye County, there is a cliff near the water, suitable for concealment, this is the meeting place agreed by Chen Jin in the letter, when Liu Wuyuan came to the mouth of the Hetao with soldiers and horses, to see the ugly, he came here on time.
"Boom, boom, boom ......" came to the mouth of the Hetao less than a stick of incense, Liu Wuyuan heard the sound of cannons, it was the direction of Ye County, and at that moment he also concluded that it must be Chen Jin and Suke Saha who started to act.
Hearing the faint sound of shouting and killing in the distance, Liu Wuyuan's heart was also pinched, worried that Chen Jin and Suke Saha would not be able to escape, according to the scout's report, the other party had forty or fifty thousand horses, and they were only a few thousand people in Ye County, and it was very difficult to break through.
After waiting for half an hour, Liu Wuyuan heard the sound of shouting and killing getting closer and closer, and saw that the horses from his family had escaped, but he didn't know what the battle situation was, and he was still very worried.
"Quick...... Fast! A team of soldiers ran over, Liu Wuyuan also ordered someone to light a torch, lighting and inspecting, from far to near, it was his own soldier's pretend, and he also ordered someone to come forward to respond, and the people who came were only about a hundred people, it seemed that they were the front people who opened the road.
"Where are Governor Chan and Sukh Saha?" Liu Wuyuan grabbed a soldier and asked.
"In the back!" The soldier replied weakly, it seemed that he had run too badly, and had not yet come back to his senses.
Liu Wuyuan waited anxiously, there were constantly soldiers who ran back, there were more than 1,000 people before and after, and it didn't take long for him to finally see the big flag, which was Chen Jin's big flag, and immediately led people to come forward to respond, and at the same time ordered the ships to prepare for evacuation, as long as they got on the boat, they started immediately.
"Lord Chen, Lord Chen... Lord Governor..."Liu Wuyuan bypassed the defeated soldiers who had fled, and headed towards the place where the banner was, and finally saw a group of soldiers leaning against a tree with a person, as if injured.
"Lord Chen, the last general Liu Wuyuan is coming to the rescue, come on board with me quickly!"
"Okay!"
Liu Wuyuan was about to step forward to help Chen Jin up, but Chen Jin suddenly burst out, a short knife in his sleeve stabbed out, hitting Liu Wuyuan's chest, Liu Wuyuan was stunned, only felt a tingling pain in his heart, and then the whole person felt that his body temperature was dropping rapidly, and his mind was also blank, I couldn't believe it, but I also knew what was happening, but I couldn't figure it out, with that incomprehension and unwillingness to fall to the ground, out of breath.
"I'm sorry, General Liu, it's to blame you for being a traitor! Do it! "The person who spoke turned out to be Niu Wancai, Cao Bianjiao's person, yes, all of this is Cao Bianjiao's plan, when he learned about Chen Jin and Suke Saha's strategy from the captive, he had already guessed their general deployment, and he would definitely send a sailor to respond, then he would plan and send a dead soldier to the deception letter, so that Liu Wuyuan would come forward, and when the time came, he would pretend to be a defeated soldier who had escaped, and give them a sudden attack, and take them by surprise, but he didn't expect Liu Wuyuan to be so careless, There is no guard against Niu Wancai's fake "Chen Jin".
"Kill ......" Niu Wancai with the three thousand soldiers and horses behind him also rushed to those warships, at the same time, the brothers who had already been on the ship also shot together, inside and outside, but a stick of incense time, under the suppression of nearly three times the force, Liu Wuyuan's three thousand soldiers and horses, except for the hundreds of people who died in battle, the rest of the people all surrendered, Liu Wuyuan's deputy general Liu Bolu, Xu Qiren and others knew that they were invincible, and they also chose to surrender, they were not Chen Jin, Liu Wuyuan and their Manchu ministers, but the original defenders of Denglai Erzhou, It's just that they surrendered with the people above, and now that the Ming army has fought back, they are naturally willing to return to the motherland.
The Denglai sailors also returned to Cao Bianjiao's hands again, most of these warships were captured by him from Liaodong back then, and now they are also returned to their original owners.
