Chapter 479: The Right Person
"General, with you, we are willing to live and die with you!"
General Mole's words once again aroused our enthusiasm, yes, fighting a war requires such courage and determination.
"Okay, live and die together."
This night is destined to be extraordinary.
The whole county, everywhere is the sound of shouting and killing, everywhere is the sound of artillery, the war is raging, since we came to this county, we have never seen this county so bright.
At the end of the night, we suffered heavy casualties, and there were corpses everywhere on the tower, and when we looked at it, no less than five or six thousand people were lying on the ground, and the general of the mole was also seriously wounded, and was shot with an arrow in the shoulder and leg, but fortunately neither of these arrows was fatal, otherwise our losses would have been even heavier.
And the losses of the Qing army were not simple, there were corpses everywhere under the tower, and they were killed at least 20,000 people.
This battle was undoubtedly tragic and tragic.
After that, the Qing army retreated, and the upper floor of the city was still an open space outside the city, and fireworks were burning everywhere.
The whole air was filled with the smell of war.
"General, this battle has finally survived, the Qing army has retreated, according to what you said before, they did surround the city."
General Mole came over, his body was bandaged with strips of white cloth, his face was very ugly, and the beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, but he was still insisting.
"General Mole, how are your injuries?"
I went over and looked up and down at the wounds on General Mole's body, but fortunately it was not fatal, otherwise I would have regretted my death after this battle.
"It's not a big deal to be small, it's just that in last night's battle, we suffered heavy losses!"
The big mole general frowned bitterly, looking at the corpse lying on the ground, and tears couldn't help but flow.
"Yes, we have suffered heavy losses, but now that the Qing army is besieging the city, it seems that they are not ready to attack the city for a while, but they can let the soldiers rest and repair for a while and recover some vitality!"
Although the Qing army suffered heavy losses, we did not take advantage of it, and now the county town is also full of smoke and miasma, with wails and screams everywhere.
We have also injured quite a few people.
"General, this Qing army is besieging the city, we can act according to the plan when the time comes, I believe that it will be a matter of time before they withdraw their troops."
I also believe in this sentence, but now withdraw the army, it is impossible, they have suffered so much here today, from the very beginning, the Qing army planted no less than 50,000 people here.
If they want to retreat, they will not leave unless their main general feels that his team is in danger of being destroyed, otherwise they will always surround and besiege.
In the next two days, the Qing army surrounded the city, and occasionally they would send a force out to attack and harass, but seeing that our city tower was heavily guarded, and as soon as they rushed to our shooting range, we were all arrows at him, and they couldn't please him, so they naturally retreated in a proper manner.
Of course, they sometimes bombard us with cannons, but as soon as the cannons go off, all of our men will hide at the base of the wall, and even if they can fight, they can't hit us, so in the end we don't hear the cannons go off.
"General, what are your orders for calling me?"
The thin monkey walked to the county office, since the battle with the Qing army, after the first day, I let him rest well, just need to rest, and don't care about anything else, so when I came over today, his face was very good, he looked ruddy, and it was quite good.
"Do you know what I mean I've been letting you rest for the past two days, and I don't care about anything?"
I looked at the skinny monkey and grinned.
The thin monkey looked even more confused, blinked a few times, and then asked, "What does the general mean?" You don't know how worried I am, for so many days, you let me rest all the time, while the other brothers are working hard to guard the city, let them work the city tower, and I am good to eat, drink and sleep, general, how can you lead the troops after you let me be a thin monkey, how to face the brothers? ”
"Hahahaha~~~ Brother Monkey, I know that you are strong-blooded, but I also have my own purpose in this matter, do you know that I have more important people to hand over to you? And this task is arduous, if you do it well, you can solve the crisis of the county and save the brothers, but if you don't do it well, your life will be in danger. ”
Hearing me say this, the thin monkey said excitedly: "What? General, even if you give your orders, my skinny monkey will not hesitate to do his best. ”
"I don't need to be reckless, I need you to be cautious, because this matter is very important, we have insisted on resisting the Qing army for so many days, and thousands of brothers have died in battle, all for this plan!"
"Plan?"
"Yes, that's the plan, I need you to lead the Qing army to attack the city, and it is a large-scale attack, so that no one of them will be left to attack the city."
This time the thin monkey was a little confused, this guy rubbed his hands suspiciously, and asked again: "General, can you explain it more clearly?" I don't understand what you mean, why did you lead the Qing army to attack the city? ”
"Do you know about the mutiny?"
"Huh? General, you're not kidding, are you? I've been a skinny monkey and followed you like this, how can I be condemned to you? It's impossible! ”
The thin monkey hurriedly waved his hand, and the whole person frowned.
I know, how can a person like Skinny Monkey rebel, but if this thing is done, then he really needs to rebel, even if it is fake.
"I'm going to let you fake a mutiny, but I want the Qing army to know that you really betrayed us, understand, this strategy is only suitable for you!"
Although it was the most suitable, I didn't explain why it was the most suitable for the skinny monkey, because I was afraid that he would really rebel after hearing about it.
"Okay, I see, general, just tell me what I need to do, right?"
"Okay, it's good if you understand, what you have to do is to make the Qing army believe that there is something wrong with us in the city, such as what people are unstable, such as what is divided, what army is suspicious of each other, etc., so that the Qing army believes in you. As long as they believe in you, this will be much easier, and when the time comes, they will definitely let you go back to the city to meet them, and that will be our chance. ”
In this matter, I think only the thin monkey goes, and the performance will be real and sufficient.
"Huh? I don't think I'm a little confused with this question, you let me figure it out first! ”
The thin monkey frowned, and simply stepped aside and began to organize his thoughts.
I also know that this is not only to risk his life to do, but also requires intelligence, he must understand everything, have an idea in his heart, and be sure to do it, otherwise if he messes up at that time, not only will he die, but even we will be retaliated by the Qing army.
"Well, I figured it out, General, do you think I'm going to tell them like this? In our city, now facing a large-scale siege by your Qing army, the army is very chaotic, plus our general is also a person who came to the dove to occupy the magpie's nest, and the foothold here is not stable, the people don't have to take him at all, and then there are several troops under his command, some are from bandits, some are from rebels, and some are forced to surrender to the past. Don't look at the time when they defended the city, they fought with their lives, but now they are completely chaotic, some people want to fight, some people surrender, and the hearts of the people are not in harmony. ”
Hey, don't say it, this guy Skinny Monkey really understands this matter thoroughly, and his words are in place.
If he goes to the barracks of the Qing army and tells the commander of the Qing army according to these words, I believe that the commander of the Qing army will definitely believe the words of the thin monkey.
"Okay, Brother Monkey, what you said is very good, very useful, when the time comes, you will say these words to the Qing army commander, but what kind of expression do you use, what kind of tone, are you trembling, scared, or red with anger, these all need you to improvise, whether we can let the Qing army attack the overall situation, and give General Ma the opportunity to burn grain and grass is up to you!"
Patting the skinny monkey on the shoulder, I feel that this guy is simply too smart, and he can definitely do this thing with such a little penetration.
"Okay, general, since this is the case, I will do what you instruct, I believe that the Qing army will definitely be fooled!"
"Well, this thing is the best, you will disguise yourself and go out of the city at night, you deliberately escaped from the city, but you must be caught by them, if they ask you how you got out of the city, why you went out of the city, you naturally said that you are a general in the city, you can handle the city gate, so you secretly went out, as for why you went out of the city, it is naturally because you feel that the county is not safe, and you are afraid that the Qing army will break through the city, and the city will be destroyed and killed, so you naturally want to escape from this war-torn place. Of course, in order to dispel their suspicion of you, I will give you some gold and silver treasures, so that they will think that you are a corrupt official, greedy for life and afraid of death, and the matter will be successful. ”
After that, I explained a few more words to the thin monkey, and told him to go down and rest for a while, and what he had to do at night was the most important thing!
"General, why do you say that it is most appropriate for the skinny monkey brother to go?"
Seeing the thin monkey leaving, General Mole came out and asked.
"Brother Monkey is loyal, but what do you think he looks like?"
"Looks? Yes? You ask about this? I think every movement he makes is like a monkey all the time, with a sharp beak and a monkey cheek, and he looks a little cunning! ”
The big mole general was stunned by reality, and then turned into a thoughtful comment.
"Hmph, that's right, the Qing army will dispel some suspicions when they see a person like him going out of the city."
