After Wu Sanxing ordered all the troops and horses, he marched towards Mengjiao.

Along the way, Wu Sanxing marched cautiously and did not leak any traces. When the army marched to a village thirty miles from Mengjiao, Wu San sent someone to invite the chief of the village.

After a while, several guards led the lieutenant chief to Wu Sanxing, who looked at him in his 40s, dressed in coarse cloth and short beating, trembling and kneeling in front of Wu Sanxing. opened his mouth and said: "The villain Zhang Yong sees the general." ”

Wu San said: "Zhang Lichang don't be afraid, we are the Ming army, do you know how many troops there are in Mengyang, how high the city is, and whether there is a moat." ”

Zhang Yong heard that it was the Ming army, and when he raised his head and saw the Ming banner, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Yong opened his mouth and said: "General, the city wall of this city is about two zhang high, there is no moat, the city because the king of Jin led the troops to pass by a few days ago, Tusi gathered soldiers and horses into the city in case of accidents, and the five battalions of soldiers and horses are now all in the city. ”

Wu Sanxing's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he waved his hand, and Zhang Yong was taken down by the guards.

Subsequently, Wu Sansheng sent scouts to investigate Meng Ye to see if what Zhang Yong said was true

Half an hour later, the scouts reported that the city walls were indeed two feet high, that there was no moat, and that the walls were densely populated with soldiers.

What Zhang Yong said was indeed correct, which gave Wu Sanxing an idea, the city wall is not too high and there is no moat, so he can take Meng Ye by surprise and attack at night.

After deciding to attack at night, Wu Sansheng selected more than 220 foot soldiers from the army who were strong and good at night battles, let Lei Pilgrimage lead the team, and put armor on each night battle foot soldier.

While arranging the night attack, Wu San Province sent people to cut down trees to make simple ladders, just in case. Like Li Dingguo, Wu Sanxing has always been rigorous and meticulous in his use of troops, and has arranged everything in detail.

Wu Sanxing's strategy was very simple, Lei Pilgrim took these more than 350 people to attack the city wall first, and after opening the city gate, Wu Sansheng led the army into the city quickly and took Meng Ye in one fell swoop.

Before sending troops, Wu San Province Xiaoyu the whole army, the king of Jin ordered that now is a special period, to unite all those who can be united, not to kill innocents indiscriminately, if there is a violation, there will be no forgiveness.

When it is ugly, the moon is tightly covered by clouds, and the night is dark and you can't see your fingers.

A team of men and horses galloped to the bottom of the city, hooking up to the city one by one, and the Ming army in armor pulled the rope and climbed up quickly. Most of the enemy troops in the city were already asleep, and only a few were standing guard.

The low city wall made the Ming army climb to the top of the city in an instant, and a few soldiers standing guard were just about to shout, but they were twisted by Lei Pilgrim and others.

More than 200 people climbed to the top of the city, and at this time some of the enemy troops had woken up, and Lei Chaosheng immediately arranged for more than 10 people to open the city gate.

The enemy soldiers who woke up looked for weapons one after another, shouting to kill Lei Pilgrim and others.

Lei Pilgrim held a waist knife in his hand, raised his hand and slashed horizontally at the enemy who rushed over, and the blood of the corpse with the head cut off "poof" gushed out, splashing Lei Pilgrim's face.

He wiped a handful of blood from his face, and slashed to the side, an enemy soldier was split in half, and in a moment Lei Pilgrimage killed more than a dozen people in a row, and the side was clear, and the enemy was killed for a while and did not dare to approach.

The Ming army behind him also struggled to engage the enemy, and the two sides were inseparable for a while.

As the enemy army woke up, the pressure of the Ming army began to increase, and it gradually became overwhelmed.

At this time, Wu Sanxing was waiting for the city gate to open with people and horses, but the city wall had already shouted that it was shaking the sky, and the city gate was not opened.

Wu Sansheng couldn't sit still, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see the city gate open, so Wu Sanxing immediately ordered the soldiers to attack the city with a simple ladder.

A group of Ming troops began to attack the city with simple ladders, and after a while, the ladders were set up on the city wall, and the Ming troops climbed up the city one by one with their shields.

Lei Pilgrim, who gradually felt powerless, saw the steady stream of Ming troops coming up behind him, and his pressure instantly decreased, and he immediately shouted: "Brothers, reinforcements are coming." ”

When the Tusi army saw the people's army coming up from the city and countryside in a steady stream, they instantly lost their fighting spirit and retreated one after another.

Seeing that the enemy army began to retreat, Lei Pilgrim shouted, and led more than 200 night soldiers to chase after him, and the Ming army that came up also killed the enemy with Lei Pilgrim.

The enemy army gradually began to disperse, Lei Pilgrim took the Ming army all the way to the city gate, only to see more than 10 corpses of the Ming army lying at the city gate, and Lei Pilgrim's eyes were about to split.

Suddenly, there were many bangs from the city gate hole, and Lei Pilgrim couldn't dodge being hit by a lead, and the soldiers next to him hurriedly pulled Lei Pilgrim and dodged on both sides of the city gate hole.

After a burst of guns, Lei pilgrim regardless of the pain in his body, led the soldiers to kill the city gate hole, more than 30 enemy soldiers with guns in the city gate hole, saw the Ming army kill and showed a frightened look, and before they had time to react, they were cut down by the Ming army.

Seeing this, the rest of the enemy troops were heartbroken, and they all put down their firearms and knelt down in surrender.

Lei Chaosheng saw these firecrackers surrender, and mercilessly ordered his subordinates to kill all of them. An officer next to him hurriedly persuaded: "The general can't, the king of Jin ordered not to kill indiscriminately." ”

When Lei Pilgrim heard this, he raised his head and sighed, ordered people to open the city gate first, and had these firecrackers tied up, and then turned around and led the men and horses to the city to kill.

The city gate was slowly opened, and Wu Sanxing entered the city with the remaining soldiers and horses.

The city was in chaos for a while, and the flames were everywhere, and after the Tusi army was scattered, they looted everywhere in the city, killing people and setting fires, and the people were all in danger.

Lei Pilgrim and Wu Sansheng went to the Tusi Mansion and found that the Tusi had committed suicide inside, Wu Sansheng shook his head when he saw this, and let people carry him out for burial.

An hour later, the whole city was taken, and Wu Sanxing immediately ordered the troops to be gathered, and strictly ordered the army to harass the people, leaving half of the people to defend the city and the other half to camp outside the city. Later, he personally led his personal guards to arrest the troublemakers, and Wu San Province did not rest one night, and arrested more than 300 Tusi soldiers and local ruffians who took advantage of the chaos to burn and loot, and the whole city was restored to stability under the auspices of Wu San Province.

At the same time as the three provinces of Wu attacked Mengjiao, Jin Tongwu also led more than 4,000 soldiers and horses to pacify the rest of the places.

On the way to the army, there were many Tusi and Haoqiang who were interested in the Ming Dynasty, and they came to Jin Tongwu, and the number of people who took refuge reached more than 3,000 one after another.

Jin Tongwu led a total of more than 7,000 people, like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and quickly pacified the rest of Menggong's mansion.

After receiving the news that Wu San Province had taken Mengye, Jin Tongwu left a part of his men and horses to garrison various places and led the rest of the soldiers and horses to Mengye.

Li An also received news from Wu San Province, and after leaving 2,000 men for Ma Siliang, he led the rest of the men and horses to gallop towards Meng.

At noon on July 18, Li An led the men and horses into Mengye, and after entering the city, he saw that the city was in a depression, and there were few pedestrians along the way.

After Li An saw Wu San Province in the Tusi Mansion, he immediately asked him to report the number of casualties.

Immediately, Wu San Province reported the number of casualties to Li An, with a total of 984 casualties, including 168 dead, 60 seriously injured, and 756 lightly injured.

Li An opened his mouth and said, "Why are there so many casualties? ”

Wu Sanxing was ashamed on his face, and explained: "The last general is guilty, and when I found out the news, it is not good to storm the soldiers and horses in the city. The last general sent Lei pilgrimage to attack Mengye at night, but when Lei pilgrimage sent people to open the city gate, there were more than 30 firecrackers in the city gate hole, so that the city gate was not opened for a long time. The last general sent troops to use the clouds, and most of the wounded were when they landed in the city,"

Hearing this, Li An asked, "Why are there so many firecrackers in the city gate cave?" ”

Wu Sanxing sighed and said: "Alas, I can only say that I am unlucky, these more than 30 firecrackers are about to be recruited by Wu Sangui in Kunming, and they will leave early tomorrow morning, so they will camp in Chengmen Cave tonight." ”

Li An was shocked when he heard this, could it be that the Qing court was preparing to conquer the Thirteen Kuidong families? Hurriedly asked: "Can the three provinces know why Wu Sangui summoned soldiers and horses?" ”

"The last general found out the news from July, Wu Sangui issued an order to gather all the Tusi soldiers and horses. At present, the news of the king's recovery has not spread, and Myanmar has also been resolved, depending on the situation, it should be ready to deal with Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun. Wu Sansheng analyzed Li An.

It seems that his side has to make a big move quickly to attract Wu Sangui's attention and relieve Li Laiheng's pressure.

Li An immediately ordered Li Sixing and Wang Daoheng to gather the whole army, and sent people to Zhang Bang to calm the people, saying that it was the Ming army, so that the people should not be afraid.

He also asked Wu Sanxing: "A doctor can be found in the city, and the plague in the army has been delayed." ”

Wu Sanxing replied: "The king doesn't have to worry, the last general has sent someone to find the doctor, and now the plague in the army is under control, and the last general has also heard that he has studied under the divine doctor Wu Youke." ”

When Li An heard that the plague in the army had been treated, and the doctor was still studying under Wu Youke, he was immediately relieved.

Li An opened his mouth and asked, "Where is this doctor now?" This king went to see him. ”

Wu Sansheng replied: "Don't worry, the king is now treating the plague in the army, and it is past noon, so let's go to eat first." ”

Li An heard that the doctor was treating the plague in the army, so he nodded and walked into the Tusi Mansion.

The two sat down in the hall, and the attendant began to pass the dishes, and plates of exquisite dishes were served.

Wu Sansheng pointed to the dishes and said to Li An: "This toast is very fond of appetite, and specially invited a cook from Kunming to cook for himself." ”

Li An smiled: "Then you and I have a mouthful!" ”

Pepper and vinegar shrimp, roast goose, steamed pork trotter belly, two-cooked fried fresh fish, steamed fresh fish, three fresh soup, and bean chess noodles, a total of seven dishes with full color and flavor are placed on the table.

Li An looked at this dish, instantly moved his index finger, and beckoned Wu Sanxing to eat.

When Ang Lee tasted it, he felt extremely delicious, who said that ancient chefs can't compare to modern chefs? This is obviously more than that.

This meal made Li An very happy. After the meal, Wu Sanxing saw that Li An was happy to eat, so he thought in his heart that he would let the cook accompany the army later, and he would cook for King Jin in the future.

At this time, the maid brought tea, and Wu Sansheng took the lead in taking a sip, then rinsed it in his mouth and spit it in the copper basin next to him.

Seeing this, Li An quickly stopped the tea he was about to swallow, and spit it out in the copper basin as if nothing happened. almost laughed generously, Ang Lee really didn't know that this tea was for gargling, and thought it was for drinking.

In this evil feudal society, this meal is not only exquisite, but also served throughout the whole process, and there is tea to rinse your mouth at the end. As a young man in the 21st century, Ang Lee is still a little uncomfortable.

Wu Sansheng waved his hand, asked the attendant to clean up the dishes, and said to Li An: "King, the last general will go and pass the doctor over." ”

Li An waved his hand and said, "No, this king will come and see you in person." ”

Being able to solve such a serious problem as the plague in the army for Li An is worth seeing Li An in person, not to mention that he still has the idea of accepting this doctor as a military doctor in his heart, of course, he must establish his image as a corporal of Lixian.

Later, Li Anliu Wu Sansheng was in the Tusi Mansion, and he took Lei Pilgrimage to ride to the military camp.
