"Hurry up, I must dig the trench to the other side of the stream tonight! Don't waste your time!"
The area around Zaotu Goatjiao Village.
The Ming Dynasty border troops stationed here are using whips to urge the Korean soldiers here to dig trenches.
The Korean soldiers had to dig faster.
Now they don't dare to escape while they are cutting wood.
After all, they will be beheaded if discovered.
And because of this, the Ming Dynasty's frontier troops, who were responsible for moving forward step by step and fighting steadily on the periphery, advanced much faster.
The space for Huang Taiji and others to deal with the Ming Dynasty's border troops and the Guards and Brave Guards who were maneuvering in the encirclement was becoming smaller and smaller.
Therefore, this forced Huang Taiji not to wait too long.
He did not dare to wait for the other two groups to break through first and attract the attention of the Ming army before breaking out. Instead, he had to prepare for a breakout immediately and proactively sent a large number of scouts to the perimeter to stay overnight.
Even Huang Taiji personally came with Tu Lai on this day and stayed out all night.
When Huang Taiji used the telescope that Li Yongfang had obtained from the traitor Zhang Cunren and saw a large number of Korean soldiers working overtime under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty's frontier troops, he couldn't help but say: "It would be great if I had a lot of money, food and weapons now." , these Korean soldiers must be extremely resentful towards the Ming army now, and they are afraid that they can be used if they are recruited!"
"My master is right. However, this Zhu Youxiao actually forcibly allocated the people's power needed to conquer the Qing Dynasty to North Korea without burdening the people of his own country. This is extremely cunning!"
Turai replied.
"When he responded to the soaring domestic food prices before, he also transferred the price to Korea, Japan, Annan, Siam and other countries. This guy did not completely follow the Confucian way of governing, but used a kingly and domineering approach, while doing so in the name of the suzerainty. It loaned money to North Korea and sold a large number of firearms to help the Li court suppress the refugee rebellion. However, when it was necessary to transfer the losses caused by domestic disasters to the outside of the vassal state, it did not hesitate to transfer them. Shaanxi has been experiencing drought for three consecutive years, resulting in countless refugees. , he actually sent them all to Nanyang! Presumably, this is how he can solve domestic problems! It is said that these refugees sent have destroyed more than ten countries. It is a pity that our Qing Dynasty was not only economically blockaded by the Ming Dynasty, but also by the Ming Dynasty. It blocks the opportunity to form alliances with the outside world, otherwise, these vassal foreigners will definitely choose to cooperate with me, the Qing Dynasty, because of this tyrant."
Huang Taiji said.
Then, after Huang Taiji looked at the surrounding trenches and barbed wire fences, he couldn't help but become more desperate, thinking: "The Ming Dynasty was able to arrange so many thin wires outside the trenches. How much iron smelting efficiency was behind this?" How much iron ore is needed to supply it? Did Huang Ama underestimate the Ming Dynasty before raising the army, or did we underestimate Zhu Youxiao from the beginning? So in the ten years after he took the throne, Zhu Youxiao let Daming has such strength!"
"Master! You have also seen that these Ming troops first laid barbed wire fences around the perimeter, then dug trenches and set up various traps. It will undoubtedly be difficult for us to break out! Even at night, I am afraid there will be a lot of casualties."
Turai replied.
At this time, Huang Taiji asked Obai who came with him: "Obai, tell me, if we want to break out, how can we deal with the Ming army's iron wall encirclement?"
"Burn the mountain! While the enemy is in chaos, rush out immediately!"
Oboi replied.
Huang Taiji nodded: "Burning mountains is one way, but Xiong Tingbi and Sun Chuanting are both masters of leading troops. They should also be able to think of it. I'm afraid they have already sent heavy troops to wait for us in places where they can be burned."
"What do you mean, Master?"
Oboi asked.
Huang Taiji said: "The key to using troops is to use surprise. First, take advantage of the wind direction and light fires in some places to confuse the Ming army and force the Ming army not to dare to advance, and then cross the river to break out!"
…
"Pay attention to footprints and blood stains, and don't pick up gold and silver jewelry if you encounter them. It might be a trap set by the Tatars!"
Mao Wenlong, who was wearing a grass ring on his head, was reminding the newly joined Guardsmen around him to stay up all night. After saying this, he twitched his nose, suddenly lowered his face and said: "No, there is a smell of smoke in front, these people Burning the mountain!”
Zhang Pan, who was following Mao Wenlong, immediately asked: "Then what should we do?"
"Naturally, we should go and have a look and see how these Tatars escape after burning the mountains. Should they break out along the river, or take advantage of the thick smoke to attack our border troops?"
As he spoke, Mao Wenlong squatted down and tightened his leggings, then made a few bird calls, and then started running.
Zhang Pan hurriedly followed and saw a piece of glittering jewelry left in the grass.
Zhang Pan didn't dare to pick it up and was still far away from this place.
Not long after, Mao Wenlong and other guards lurked to the place where Huang Taiji and others were burning the mountains without closing in at night, and saw groups of Tatars walking along the river.
"They deliberately burned the mountains to confuse our army, but in fact they wanted to break out along the river. Brother Zhang Pan, go back immediately and tell the superiors that the Tatars have gathered in Santu River in large numbers!"
Mao Wenlong was eating a sparrow that had just been caught and had its feathers ripped off, and he said that as Ye Buxing who had been lurking in this area for several days, they could not and did not dare to eat cooked food.
"yes!"
Zhang Pan therefore left here.
Shortly after Zhang Pan left here, Tu Lai, the scout of Jiannu, also discovered the movement on Mao Wenlong's side. He noticed it through the light reflected from the telescope in Mao Wenlong's hand.
Tu Lai therefore surrounded him with a group of Jiannu scouts, deliberately making no noise, and even drew his bows and arrows in advance.
"ah!"
However, some Jiannu scouts stepped on the caltrops that Mao Wenlong had scattered around in advance.
The wealthy Ming Dynasty allowed his Yebushou men to bring as many caltrops as they wanted.
Whoosh!
Immediately afterwards, an arrow flew out.
Mao Wenlong also realized that he was discovered by Jian Nu.
Mao Wenlong and other Ming troops refused to retreat at night, so they immediately got up and ran in the opposite direction of these slave-building scouts.
Tu Lai took a depressed look at his subordinate who was lying on the ground, covering his feet, and shouted: "Chase!"
boom!
The iron wire hidden in the grass directly knocked down the slaves who were running at the front and were eager to hunt down Mao Wenlong and others who would not be taken in until tomorrow night. The iron wire was pricked with iron caltrops until they were covered in blood.
Tu Lai and other scouts were shocked when they saw this.
But at this time, Tu Lai and others suddenly rushed out from the grass behind them. The Ming army, which had been lurking near Mao Wenlong before but did not follow Mao Wenlong, stayed at night.
These days, they fired poisonous crossbow arrows directly at Tu Lai and other Jiannu scouts.
There were still several Jiannu scouts. Except for Turaine who reacted in time and immediately fell to the ground, they were all shot by poisonous arrows.
At this time, Mao Wenlong, who was waiting for the Ming army who was running out, immediately rushed back without stopping. He pulled out the dagger from his leg, cut the throats of several injured Jiannu scouts, and then surrounded Tu Lai.
"I've heard for a long time that your Donglu scouts are always very powerful, but I'm not a vegetarian if I don't accept them tomorrow night!"
As Mao Wenlong spoke, he added: "Before I entered the martial arts hall, I made a fortune by assassinating you Donglu people and cutting off your heads in exchange for silver rewards. Therefore, I killed not only five or six hundred, but one or two hundred. You It’s not a loss if this guy dies on me.”
Tu Lai drew out his short knife and rushed towards Mao Wenlong.
But the rest did not stop until tomorrow night and decisively pulled the trigger.
Then, Tu Lai was hit by several poisonous crossbow arrows and fell in front of Mao Wenlong.
…
"Very good! Tell Commander Xiong this news and give the order to go down to the direction of Santu River."
After Sun Chuanting learned the news from Zhang Pan, he immediately conveyed the new instructions.
And for this reason, when Huang Taiji led his troops to break out along the Santu River, they were directly surrounded by the pursuing Guards and Brave Guards as well as the frontier troops at the outer end.
Huang Taiji was caught off guard and his troops were the first to be captured alive.
