Chapter 53: The Long Night
Speaking of Li Zhifang, the eyes of all the generals flickered.
Everyone knows that Li Zhifang's daughter Li Ruonan is the guest of King and King Yao.
"Fifth brother, if Li Zhifang dies and does not repent, can you do it?"
Lao Huang asked the general's thoughts.
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen in the previous dynasty, Li Zhifang's parents were killed by Qing soldiers, his wife died of illness in the last year of Shunzhi, and his son Li Zhonglin was the only male in the Li family. Before leaving Jinhua, I had already sent a letter to Miss Li. Where to go, I believe she will have a choice. ”
Wang Heyao smiled coldly and said what was in his heart.
It is related to the rear of everyone, and before Wang Heyao left Jinhua, he had entrusted Hu Shuangqi to bring a letter to Li Ruonan, asking her to take precautions and make plans in advance.
The generals looked at each other, and there was silence in the barracks for a while.
It turned out that Wang Heyao had already made a decision and made arrangements.
Zheng Siming shook his head and smiled bitterly, and gently patted Wang Heyao's shoulder.
Even if Li Ruonan won't listen to Wang Heyao's words, she will go to the capital to pick up her younger brother. risking her brother's life, I believe she won't, and she won't dare.
Wang Heyao is gambling!
He was so sure that Li Ruonan would not tell Jieshu or Li Zhifang?
"Fifth brother, Miss Li, she won't tell the truth, right?"
Chen Zi was shocked. If Li Ruonan does this, all of them will have to move.
"It's too late for her!"
Wang Heyao's eyes became cold again, and he was categorical.
He asked Hu Shuangqi to bring the letter and act at the opportunity, believing that they would not let him down.
"The big war will start tomorrow, she hasn't shown up yet, she must have gone north!"
Wang Heyao looked at everyone with blazing eyes.
"Brothers, the Manchus can't hold it anymore, this is the best opportunity! Glory to the ancestors, flying Huang Tengda, just today! ”
The generals' faces turned red, and they all stood up unconsciously.
It starts from Longyou and ends with the country, with heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou.
This proverb is already the best omen.
Wang Heyao's gaze turned to Chen Zigou, and his face became solemn.
"Chen Zigou, how is the topography of Daxitan?"
The two armies fought in a scuffle, and the dogs and teeth were staggered, so that they had a chance to kill Jieshu. If this is usual, Jie Shu is surrounded by countless warriors, where is the opportunity to start.
Exploring the terrain and being prepared is also Wang Heyao's consistent style.
"Fifth brother, I've already explored it, and I've drawn the picture too!"
Chen Zigou took out the picture, spread it on the table, and introduced it carefully.
"The terrain of Daxitan is flat, there are several hills, this one is about ten miles away from Daxitan, there is a ruined temple on the hill, this one is a big pit, about forty or fifty steps......"
Broken temple!
History seems to say that Jieshu commanded and talked and laughed freely, the opponent's firearms pierced through the doors and windows, Jieshu lupine scarves, and the rebels were wiped out......
"Chen Zigou, what is the situation around the ruined temple?"
Wang Heyao asked carefully.
Tomorrow's army will face off, and it is very likely that Jieshu will set up the Chinese army's camp in the broken temple.
Wang Heyao regretted a little, why didn't he take a good look at the history books, and he wouldn't dig his heart and lungs now.
"Fifth brother, the broken temple is only six or seven miles away from Daxitan, located on a large hill, the terrain is high, surrounded by woods, the temple is quite large, there are front and back yards, and the main hall in the middle is as big as three or four houses."
After Chen Zigou finished speaking, he looked at Wang Heyao strangely.
"All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted. This ruined temple is likely to be the Chinese army camp of Jieshu, so we have to scout it well. ”
Wang Heyao shook his head and suddenly asked:
"Who knows, this season, what kind of wind generally blows in Quzhou?"
"There are mountains in Quzhou, and the wind direction is changeable, usually east or northeast, sometimes northerly."
A few people in Li Xingzhong muttered for a moment, and then replied.
Wang Heyao pointed at Li Xingzhong and the thin monkey.
"Chen Zigou, wait a minute, you and the third brother go out to reconnoitre. The terrain around the ruined temple must be explored! ”
Wang Heyao explained carefully, his face full of solemnity.
Chen Zigou and Li Xingzhong hugged their fists together to lead their lives.
"Fifth brother, the brothers' families, have they all settled down?"
Zheng Siming glanced at everyone and asked loudly.
If the rear is not stable, how can there be a war. Only by letting these guys have no distractions can they play with their lives.
"Brothers, rest assured, when I came out of Jinhua, I had already made arrangements, let's do things in front and protect my brothers' families in the rear. The government does things on top of each other, which is inefficient. They should have time to evacuate. ”
Li Xingzhong, Zhao Guohao, including Thin Monkey, Lao Huang and others are all relieved, but some people have doubts.
"Brothers rest assured, there are many people doing things in the rear, and the brothers' families don't have to worry, I guarantee that they are okay. To tell you the truth, I have already ambushed people and horses in the rear, and the waste of the government can't help us! ”
Wang Heyao laughed, his face full of confidence.
He walked over and patted Zhang Hei on the shoulder.
"Zhang Hei, Sun Bai, tomorrow's big battle, the grenadiers will charge. But it all has to be arranged! ”
"Obey your lordship's orders!"
Zhang Hei and the three of them knelt down together to listen to the order.
"Third brother, Brother Monkey, tomorrow I still count on you gunners to kill all sides!"
"Fourth brother, Lao Huang, to defeat the cavalry of the Qing army, you have to rely on firecrackers to kill and wound!"
"Chen Zigou, Liu Wenshi, Dong Jiayao, it was you pikemen who ended up in the end!"
Wang Heyao walked around the camp and solemnly admonished them one by one.
"Don't worry, your lordship, obey your military orders!"
Everyone was clasping their fists and obeying the order, all of them were impassioned.
"Don't worry, my lord, even if it is the Tartar Emperor, the villain will not be soft! Since the inspection department came out, the brothers have been waiting for this day for a long time! ”
Dong Jiayao said loudly, arrogant.
Everyone nodded. Dong Jiayao's words obviously spoke to their hearts.
"Brothers, go down and get ready. Listen to my orders tomorrow and break the Qing army! This Zhejiang is the world of our brothers! ”
Wang Heyao's words made the generals all face red, and some militants were full of blood and laughed.
"Old Five, aren't you worried at all?"
The generals dispersed, Zheng Siming came over and whispered.
"What am I worried about?"
Wang Heyao couldn't help but be stunned.
"Worried about what? That Li Zhifang is your future father-in-law, if he doesn't come down then, can you do it? And that Li Ruonan, if something happens to Li Zhifang, how can you get along with her? ”
Li Xingzhong interjected, making Wang Heyao speechless for a while.
The most feared thing in the world is to owe favors, not to mention the most difficult to accept the grace of beauties.
This time, he dragged Li Ruonan into a place of no return.
"Old five, do great things, when you decide, you can't be indecisive. The wealth and life of the brethren are on you. ”
Li Xingzhong said in a low voice and walked out of the camp.
Wang Heyao seems to be commanding and strategizing, but in fact, he is also a child and daughter, far from being as calm and free as his appearance.
"Big brother, fourth brother, it's all up to you to be vigilant in the camp! Everyone, etc., without my military order, you are not allowed to leave the camp, and those who violate military law will be dealt with! ”
Wang Heyao's eyes were gloomy, and his gaze fell on Zheng Siming.
Li Xingzhong and Chen Zi led people to reconnoiter the terrain, and the defense of the camp was naturally handed over to Zheng Siming, Zhao Guohao and others.
"The last general obeys!"
Zheng Siming and Zhao Guohao looked at each other, and they were both related.
"Big brother, fourth brother, why are you looking at me like this?"
Wang and Yao looked at the two suspiciously.
"Old Five, your trick is to take precautions, cut off the way back, take your family as a hostage, it is really ruthless enough, big brother, I have learned another trick!"
Zheng Siming shook his head and sighed, giving a thumbs up.
"Old Five, you are good enough, even if some guys don't want to follow, think about their families, they have to play with their lives!"
Zhao Guohao's eyes were stunned and admired.
Wang Heyao was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.
The original intention was to protect the families of these guys, just in case. was said by Zheng Siming and Zhao Guohao, and accidentally made it "coercion".
What a great irony!
However, compared to fighting on the battlefield, he is no longer worried. The only thing that worries him is Li Ruonan's safety.
Li Ruonan will definitely go north, he is sure of this. But the long road is long, and the entire northern land is under the rule of the Manchu court, I don't know if Li Ruonan and his party can return safely?
At this moment, he felt that he was already lingering and worried about Li Ruonan.
The night is long, oppressive and dark, and it is destined to be a sleepless night! I just hope that tomorrow will come soon, and everything will be over!
