Chapter 23: The Bloody Battle of Kunming (5)
The clock is back to this afternoon.
Kunming City Gao Dejie Mansion.
At this time, Gao Dejie, who was lying on the bed, suddenly heard the sound of "booming" cannons outside the city, and hurriedly called the guards to inquire.
I learned that the Ming army had gathered in the city of Kunming, and now it has begun to attack the city.
"How is the Ming offensive?"
"General Hui, Li Dingguo personally led four or five soldiers and horses to attack, and the Ming army's offensive was extremely fierce."
"What? Forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses, isn't it one or two thousand? Gao Dejie asked as he stood up despite the pain in his buttocks.
"There are indeed forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses outside the city."
Gao Dejie muttered in his mouth: "Wu Sangui has a plan, Wu Sangui has a plan." ”
The guard suddenly spoke: "General, I have been with you for ten years, and I can be regarded as your confidant, so I dare to say a few words to the general." General, we are all Chinese people, and we should have dressed in Chinese clothes and followed Chinese etiquette. Instead of having this pig's tail on his head, wearing a beard on his body, and talking about slaves from time to time.
Zi said: "Micro tube Zhong, I have a left hair." "General, we are now left. Yidi came, I didn't want to resist, but helped the abuse, and after a hundred years, I really had no shame to face my ancestors. ”
Gao Dejie was ashamed of the righteousness, and he sighed helplessly and said: "The king of Pingxi led his troops to surrender to the Qing, which is the trend of the times, and I have great righteousness in my heart, how can I do it?" ”
"General, isn't it a good time to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and restore the Chinese clothes. Besides, after the general crippled Xia Guoxiang, Wu Sangui couldn't accommodate us here, so why not wait for me anyway? ”
Gao Dejie's face showed a decisive look, "In this case, Tuji, you are willing to live in the camp of the Ming army and contact the King of Jin." ”
Feng Tuji knelt on the ground and said sonorously: "I am willing to go." ”
Then the two began to discuss how to get out of the city. Gao Dejie learned that the East Gate guard was his confidant Zhu Zheng, so he immediately gave Zhu Zheng a letter. It was decided to let Feng Tuji go out from the east gate to contact Li Dingguo with his waist card.
It was agreed that at the fourth watch tonight, the fire was raised, and the Ming army entered the city from the east gate.
After the two discussed, Gao Dejie expressed his determination and pulled out his sword with a "choking". grabbed the money rattail at the back of his head, cut it off with a knife, and threw it to Feng Tuji, so that he could bring it to Li Dingguo to show his determination.
At that time, Feng Tuji took Gao Dejie's waist card and quietly came to the east gate to find Zhu Zheng.
Zhu Zheng received a letter from his old boss in the afternoon and knew that he was going to do it anyway. After seeing Feng Tuji, he immediately arranged for his henchmen to hang him down to the city in a hanging basket.
As soon as Feng Tuji was hung out of the city, his subordinates came to report, and Wang Pingfan brought people over to inspect. Zhu Zheng heard that Wang Pingfan came to inspect, and hurriedly looked at the city, only to see that Feng Tuji had just come out of Hanging Blue and had not gone far. Now looking down from the city, you can see Feng Tuji at a glance.
Seeing that cold sweat broke out on his head, Zhu Zheng patted his face, forcibly calmed himself, and then hurriedly stepped forward to drag Wang Pingfan down.
As soon as Wang Pingfan arrived at the east gate, he met Zhu Zheng head-on.
"General Zhu, the governor came to inspect, is there anything unusual at the east gate?" Wang Pingfan saw that it was Zhu Zheng, so he asked routinely.
"The east gate is fine, but some of the gunpowder is damp." Zhu Zheng's heart was in a hurry, and he suddenly thought that there was gunpowder damp in the city tower.
"It's not serious, take this governor over to see."
When Zhu Zheng heard this, he immediately took Wang Pingfan to check the damp gunpowder. The group entered the tower, and several soldiers stepped forward to open the powder keg. Wang Pingfan looked at several powder kegs in a row and found that they were all damp.
Wang Pingfan reprimanded Zhu Zheng a few words, asked him to move all the damp gunpowder to the city warehouse, and asked the quartermaster to make up for the missing gunpowder for Zhu Zheng later.
Subsequently, Wang Pingfan led people out of the east gate and headed for the north gate.
Feng Tuji, who left the city, hurried to the camp of the Ming army, carefully avoiding the secret sentry along the way, and was lucky not to be discovered by the Qing army.
Half an hour later, Feng Tuji wandered outside the Ming army camp, and the door of the Ming army camp was closed. In the middle of the night, he rashly opened the camp gate and broke in, fearing that he would be killed by mistake as a spy.
Feng Tuji stood in the dark outside the Ming army camp for a long time, and suddenly saw a camp gate guard open the camp gate to pee outside. Feng Tuji didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly stepped forward to cover the soldier's mouth to prevent him from yelling.
Ming Bing was suddenly covered by someone's mouth, began to struggle violently, and swung his fist to the back, Zhu Zheng grabbed Ming Bing's fist. In his ear, he said: "I am the personal soldier of Gao Dejie, the general under Wu Sangui, and I have come here to report something important to the king of Jin." ”
After hearing this, the Ming soldiers stopped struggling, and Feng Tuji saw that the Ming soldiers stopped struggling, so he told him not to shout. After Ming Bing nodded, Feng Tuji immediately let go of Ming Bing.
After the Ming soldiers were let go by Feng Tuji, they asked Feng Tuji to stay where he was and not move, and went to report to Shangguan himself.
Today, it happens to be Ma Bao who is in charge of the safety of the camp. When he learned that Gao Dejie's personal soldiers asked to see him, he sent someone to inform the King of Jin, and at the same time led people out of the camp to confirm the authenticity.
After a while, Ma Bao came out of the camp gate, and as soon as he came out, he saw Feng Tuji not far from the door.
Feng Tuji also saw Ma Bao walking out of the camp gate at this time, and hurriedly went up and knelt down to meet Ma Bao. "Madudu, do you remember to be here?"
"Feng Tuji, yes or no?"
"It was under this that the general of my family deeply felt that the Qing court was unreasonable, and he deliberately raised troops anyway, and did the act of abandoning the dark and turning to the light."
"That being the case, Ben will take you to King Jin immediately." When Ma Bao heard that Gao Dejie was going to raise troops anyway, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly led Feng Tuji to the big tent of the Chinese army.
After the guards outside the big tent searched Feng Tuji's back, they let him in.
As soon as Feng Tuji entered, he took out Gao Dejie's braid and gave it to Li An.
"This is Gao Dejie's braid, and my family will cut off the braids of the lord to show his determination."
Hearing this, Li An picked up the braid and looked at it, and then put it aside. He asked, "I don't know how your family will be right?" ”
"In order to prevent long nights and dreams, my family will decide on the fourth watch, raise fire as a number, and the army will enter the city through the east gate. I don't know what King Jin wants? ”
Li An touched his chin, and he hesitated for a while.
Feng Tuji saw Li An's hesitation, and immediately grabbed the ground with his head, "Could it be that the King of Jin suspects us of fraud?" I'm waiting for a bare heart, is the king of Jin like a disdain? ”
Li An was also stunned when he heard this, how could he not even have such courage.
Immediately no longer hesitated, and ordered Wu San Province to be responsible for the security of the camp. He also ordered Ma Bao to immediately order 30,000 soldiers, make food for the second watch, reorganize the army for the third watch, and enter the city for the fourth watch.
After Ma Bao received the order, he immediately turned around and went out of the big tent to count the troops.
On the second watch, the Ming army began to eat, and Li An specially ordered the logistics battalion to open up to supply food, and the whole army must be fully fed.
On the third watch, the whole army inspected the armaments, and all the guns, cannons, spears, knives, bows and arrows, rushing vehicles, and ladders were all inspected.
Three and a half watches, 30,000 Ming troops have been ambushed outside the east gate.
On the fourth watch, Li An saw two torches suddenly swaying at the head of the East Gate, and ordered the whole army to fight, and the soldiers cheered up.
After a while, the city gate slowly opened, and Li An ordered Lei Pilgrim to lead 5,000 people into the city to surround the Pingxi Palace, and ordered Ma Bao to take 5,000 people to arrest the generals in the city.
Ma Bao led people into the Kunming Mansion, and the shouting of killing woke up Wang Pingfan in his sleep, and he was held to the neck by several Ming military knives as soon as he got up.
Wang Pingfan sighed when he saw this, knowing that he had no power to return to the sky, so he stopped struggling.
