Chapter 255: Sneak Attack on the North Gate

Hearing someone questioning, Shang Kewei did not panic, but showed a sad expression, "Lord Regent, my lords, the slave almost died, is it ......

"Wait, the regent has ascended the throne and is emperor, you should call it long live!" Shang Kexi hurriedly reminded.

When Shang Kewei heard this, he immediately changed his words: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live, the slave doesn't know, please long live the Lord to atone for your sins!"

Hauge has been fond of hearing the words 10,000 words lately, and he smiled at him, "You keep talking!"

"The slave almost died, but it was the slave's personal guard who changed clothes with the slave and was punished on his behalf, and the slave shaved his face and hid, so he was confused until now."

Li Shutai looked through the torch and saw that Shang Kewei really had several scars on his face, which were difficult to identify, so he let down his guard slightly.

"How do you get down town? How do I get here?" Li Shutai asked again.

"The prince of the barbarians came, all the generals went to the Chinese army tent, and no one restrained the soldiers, so they were lazy and let us miscellaneous servants defend the city, so I took advantage of the chaos to jump down."

Shang Kewei said, flipping up his trouser legs, revealing the sprain caused by the jump.

Li Shutai saw that his feet were bare and bruised, although he still had doubts, but he no longer asked, but asked, "You said there is a major military situation?"

"Since the minions were captured by the Ming army, they have been charged into the baggage team, and in the past few days they have been carrying supplies in the city, and they have seen that the north gate is seriously damaged and almost impossible to repair, and the king of the Qing Dynasty can enter the city from there and wipe out the barbarians in one fell swoop!"

Li Shutai frowned, "I have long besieged the city to observe, and I don't see any damage to the north gate!"

"The outside of this door is whitewashed by Wu Sangui, and I can't see it. The adults can send a small team of men and horses to break open the city gate, and the big team will rush in quickly, and the great thing can be done!"

Hauge was overjoyed: "You can try this matter, if the city gate is really easy to break open, and the army will swarm in, you will definitely be able to take Kaesong in one fell swoop."

Li Shutai said: "In case this is a plan of the Ming army, ambush on the inside......

Shang Kexi was furious, "Are you framing my brother for being a daughter-in-law?"

"Prince Zhi is angry, this king is just speculating."

Hauge suddenly remembered that the north gate of the city was blown up by himself, and it was indeed dilapidated.

He waved his hand and said, "The city walls of Kaesong are rudimentary, there are no urn cities and enemy platforms, and there are no moats and sheep and horse walls, if the city gate is destroyed, our army can rush into the city with all their might!" Even if there is an ambush in the city, it will not be able to stop my tens of thousands of troops!"

"Long live the Sage, the slave is willing to take 10,000 elite soldiers into the city at night!" Turg asks for battle.

He could hear it clearly and knew that it was a rare opportunity, and there was not much danger.

If the city gate is not damaged, he can't enter at all, if the city gate is really vulnerable, he sends soldiers to go in and defend the city gate, that is, it can be attacked and retreated, and there are tens of thousands of troops behind the support, no matter how you look at it, it is a sure deal.

Shang Kexi heard that Turg asked for battle, and he also surrendered his hand to fight.

Li Shutai was still not at ease, and said, "The situation is unknown, or I will go to the sneak attack with King Pingdong, and Prince Zhi will stay in the camp to protect Long Live Lord!"

When Hauge heard this, he understood that if Shang Ke was a female cadre and controlled his brother by his side, he could grasp the initiative.

"Good! Prince Yan and King Pingdong quickly ordered troops and raided the north gate of Kaicheng as soon as possible!".

……

60 miles south of Jinzhou City, Zhou Yingluo and Chongzhen sat in a farmer's house, looking at the rations that had just been distributed, and were indignant.

"The imperial court is so generous, and it has allocated a huge amount of food, and it will be deducted to such a situation! Dog officer! It's a dog officer!" Zhou Yingluo's eyes were on fire.

His father, Zhou Yuji, died in the city because he was abandoned by corrupt officials and traitors, isolated and helpless.

At this time, when he heard that there were corrupt officials in Jinzhou, he wanted to immediately pick up his sword and leave.

The farmer couldn't imagine that the rich lady in front of him was so popular, and said in disbelief: "So many rations, or are they deducted? Little Lao'er, I have been planting all my life, and I have always paid grain to the imperial court, and I have never received grain and rice from the imperial court.

Now that the imperial court allocates 30 catties of sweet potatoes to my family every month, it's too late to be grateful, how can I scold the officials!"

Chongzhen is also a little angry, today

After a bumper harvest in North China, countless corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes were harvested, and after the imperial court allocated them to the armies, the granaries were almost full.

For the sake of immigration, a considerable part was distributed to immigrants, with 10 catties of food rations per person per month.

This old farmer's family of 7 people would theoretically get 70 catties of rations, but now they only receive 30 sweet potatoes, and other coarse grains such as wheat, millet, and corn are not seen.

In the city of Jinzhou, there must be corrupt officials!

Chongzhen patted Zhou Yingluo on the shoulder and said softly, "Uncle, are you enough to eat?"

The old man said happily: "Why is it not enough, a few years ago, we only had one meal in two days and three days, but now we have one meal a day!"

When Chongzhen heard this, his face darkened, he would eat sweet potatoes every day, and he would get sick, and it was only one meal a day.

The old farmer felt that the two people in front of him were the children of good-hearted eunuchs, and he didn't want them to cause trouble, and said: "Two, the little old man is very content, now there is food at home, there is arable land next to the house, and I don't have to worry about eating anymore, I am very grateful to the court and the emperor in my heart!"

The officials of Jinzhou City are all good officials, and in the past few months, they have all distributed food on time, never in arrears, never delayed, and the villagers call them Qingtian!"

Chongzhen sighed, what an easy to be contented people, the court will give a little favor at will, so that they can be grateful to Dade. Daming can have such good people, it is really a blessing from God! And those insatiable dog officials should be killed!

This is still a new official who has been promoted recently, and if those officials before March must not even be able to reach the people's homes.

He stood up, said goodbye to the old farmer, and walked towards the next farmer with a huffing Zhou Yingluo.

……

With 3,000 elite leather armor soldiers and 10,000 Korean elite soldiers, Turg wrapped his shoes in cloth and quietly and slowly approached the north gate of Kaesong.

When they approached the north gate 300 meters, the army stopped and lay on the ground, so as not to be discovered by the wolf dogs and soldiers in the city.

Turg waved his hand, and 10 strong men with tall horses, carrying a thick log, walked towards the city gate.

Dressed in black, they slowed down and continued to quietly approach the north gate.

After a stick of incense, the ten big men finally rushed to the north gate quietly.

The dogs on the head of the city barked wildly, and the dogs at the other city gates barked together, and the Ming army hurriedly lit rockets and shot no less than 100 outside the city, illuminating a large area of snow, but no one was found, so they drank the wolf dogs.

Ten big men hid in the hole in the city gate and let out a sigh of relief.

Hearing the movement of the city, they looked at each other and nodded, hugged the log and retreated a dozen steps, and then slammed into the city gate at high speed.

Boom......

A loud bang rang out, and the sound of the gate breaking could be heard inside and outside the city.

Turg was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the whole army to charge, striving to rush to the city within 5 minutes.

Seeing this, Li Shutai hurriedly ordered the 3,000 armored soldiers and 20,000 Korean soldiers behind him to follow up, ready to charge at any time.
