Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Empty City Plan
Not long after Wang Teng left, a group of Jurchen scouts rushed in.
The first person saw the blood on the ground, and his face changed, "There was a fierce battle here just now."
The other person sniffed his nose, "There is the smell of gunpowder, it must be a sneak attack by the Ming people with a firecracker."
The Jurchen sentinels are experts in tracking, and they quickly restore the battle of suitable talents through clues.
"Dai Ziye, you see, this is our Jurchen heavy arrow!"
The arrows of the Jurchens were slightly different from those of the Ming army, and the workmanship was also very different.
Ma Wu was hit by an arrow, and in a hurry, Wang Teng only cut off the arrow shaft, and did not take out the arrow, but now it is a clue.
"There are four people in the Ming army, Fei Zhi, they are only afraid of more evil and less auspicious"
The Jurchen commander waved his arm, "Chase!" ”
Who the hell is it?
Since the army knocked on the pass, the Ming army has been hiding in the city, and it is rare to go out of the city to fight, even if the most elite night is not exempt.
Now that the Ming army dares to go out of the city to fight, and has also captured two Jurchen warriors, how can this make the Jurchen commander embarrassed?
The group rode their horses and galloped wildly, chasing them for more than ten miles, but there was still no trace of their companions.
A hundred steps ahead is a tunbao, and it stands to reason that someone should be stationed there, but the Jurchen Daizi looked around, but did not find a single Ming person, "The situation is not right, why is there no one to defend?" ”
The gate of the fort was wide open, but there was no figure below the fort wall, which was very different from the Tunpu encountered in the past.
"Daiko, Mingren ran away?"
The Jurchen Daizi had heard the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and his expression was nervous at the moment, "Could this be the empty city plan of the Ming people?" ”
Empty city plan?
Could it be that the Ming people still have the courage to play tricks?
A Jurchen sentinel scoffed, he turned over and dismounted, clenched his fists and begged for battle, "Dai Ziye, I'll go to the fort to find out!" ”
Waiting and watching like this naturally can't solve any problems, but now, since someone volunteered, the Jurchen Daizi naturally agreed, "You must be more careful, if you find something wrong, quit immediately, and I will respond outside the city."
"Order!"
With a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, the Jurchen sentinel cautiously approached the fort gate.
As expected, no one still appeared, and the Jurchen Daiko had already tightened his heartstrings, and he always felt that there would be countless Ming people killed in the next moment.
However, until the Jurchen sentinel disappeared from the end of vision, there was still no movement.
How so?
"Squeak quack", the Jurchen sentinel turned around, he blocked the fort door with the shield in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Dai Ziye, the fort is empty!" ”
"Empty?"
Jurchen Daiko had a gloomy face, "Enter the fort!" ”
"Boom", the horse's hooves are churning, after entering the customs for so long, the Jurchen sentinels have never encountered such a scene today, and for a while, everyone is afraid, they are always worried that this is a plan of the Ming people.
I walk a lot at night, and I am always afraid of encountering ghosts.
In order to prevent the Ming people from being wiped out, after entering the city, the Jurchen Daizi waved his horsewhip and ordered: "Jin Yuan, you go to the east of the fort, Fei You, you go to the west of the fort, and the rest of the people wait here with me."
"Order!"
The area of the small fort is not large, and it didn't take long for Jin Yuan and Fei You to return with their horses, "Dai Ziye, the house is empty, this is an empty fort!" ”
Jurchen Daiko was furious, he didn't expect that he would be tricked by Mingren.
So cautious and vigilant, who would have thought that it was really an empty city!
"Search, house to house, I don't believe there is no one in this fort"
This team of sentry detectives is no more than 12 people, and if they come to the door to search, it is destined to take a long time.
At this time, a sentry came up with a bad idea, "Dai Ziye, it is more troublesome to search and search, it is better to burn the matter, if there are really Ming people hiding in it, this fireworks will definitely be able to drive people out."
The Jurchen Daizi had nowhere to vent his anger, and when he heard this, he immediately readily agreed, "What are you doing in a daze?" Burn! ”
"Order!"
Burning, killing and looting, this is what the Jurchens do best.
Most of the castle is civil engineering, and after a pile of firewood is ignited, the whole fort will soon burn.
The flames grew stronger and stronger, and thick smoke rose into the sky.
After a stick of incense, there was still no movement, and the Jurchen Dynasty was extremely angry with a blue face, could it be that this tunbao was really empty?
An empty castle actually frightened the Dajin Warriors, if this was known to others, how would Daiko have face?
Fortunately, a sentry understood Daizi's thoughts, he hurriedly changed the topic, and said: "Daiziye, if the Ming army doesn't collect it at night, it should be going east, do you want to chase it again?" ”
Jurchen Daizi gritted his teeth, "Chasing, even the ends of the earth have to find the murderer!" ”
Hearing this, everyone immediately turned over their horses and left the fortress that had been reduced to ruins.
At this time, Wang Teng and his entourage were still galloping on horseback.
Huang Degong was exploring the road in front, and Ma Yu was driving the war horse behind.
Before going out of the city sentry, Wang Teng and the four of them brought two horses, and now they killed the Jurchen sentry and robbed four good horses, and they escaped easily.
"Boom", the sound of horses' hooves, came far away.
In front of Wang Teng, Ma Wu looked tired, although the arrow shaft of his arm was broken, but the arrow was still in the flesh, even if Wang Teng tightened his arm, however, blood still seeped out through his armor.
Wang Teng was very anxious: "Hold on, I'm going home soon." ”
"Big brother, it's okay, I can still hold on", at this time, Ma Wu even forgot the title of "adult" and changed it to the name he was most accustomed to.
Wang Teng laughed: "Good brother, don't worry, brother, I will take you home safely!" ”
The group crossed the hill, crossed the stream, and soon came to a place only five or six miles from the military fort.
On both sides of the official road, two village warriors were lurking, and the sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves came, and they immediately poked their heads out and looked carefully, it was Wang Xunsi and they were back.
Another villager breathed a sigh of relief,
Recently, in order to give early warning and take precautions, Wang Teng set up a sentry on the outside of the military fort, these scouts are equipped with rockets and firecrackers, once they find the figure of the Tartar, they will light the firecrackers and rockets as soon as possible, and warn the military fort, and the fort will also make corresponding defensive choices after hearing the movement.
Huang Degong turned over and dismounted, and after explaining the situation to the sergeant, a person from the opposite side quickly came to support Ma Wu.
It's already here, there's no need to rush anymore, it's important to save Ma Wu's life.
At this time, another villager found the corpse of a Tartar on horseback, "Hiss, Tartar".
"Ah, there's still a living mouth"
Huang Degong laughed and scolded: "What's the fuss, hurry up and bring the Tartar back to the fort, I'll watch here."
Xiang Yong promised, "Okay, my lord really opened our eyes, as soon as he made a move, he brought back two Tartars, this skill is amazing."
Wang Teng didn't have the slightest joy, and still let the other party hurt one person with more blows and fewer blows, which shows that the combat power of the Tartars is extremely strong, if it is really a one-on-one fight, except for Huang Degong and Huang Hu, among his own people and horses, I am afraid that no one is his opponent.
