"When I came back, I saw someone who seemed to be from the Ming army?" Wang Ju picked up the kettle on the side, put it to his mouth and took a sip of water.
Hearing this, Zhao Wu sat over and said: "The Ming army defenders at Nanguandao Fort misunderstood us as their reinforcements. I was thinking about whether to take advantage of this identity to take down Nanguandao Fort."
Being able to take down Nanguandao Fort without any bloodshed, he naturally didn't want to use weapons.
"It's not that simple." Wang Ju shook his head, not optimistic about Zhao Wu's idea.
Zhao Wu leaned forward, put his hands on his knees, and asked, "Tell me what you think?"
Hearing will bring light, believing will lead to darkness.
Although he is the Yingzheng, the people under his command have better reasons, and he is still willing to listen. After all, his time as the Yingzheng is too short, and some things may not be fully thought out at the moment.
"The reason is very simple." Wang Ju was not embarrassed to remind him because of Zhao Wu's identity, and said directly: "If the people from Nanguandao Fort had not come here, maybe this method would still be feasible, but the people from Nanguandao Fort came. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to use this method to trick him into entering the fort again.”
"Tell me more details?" Zhao Wu motioned for him to continue.
Wang Ju added: "The armor of our Tiger Flag is very different from that of the Ming army. If only the armor and clothing are slightly different, I can't explain it properly, but the weapons we use are mainly firearms, and we are attacking Lushun." The news has spread, if I were the guard of Nanguandao Fort, as soon as the people who came back said it, they would immediately think that our troops are not reinforcements sent by the Ming army."
"What a pity. If you had reminded me before, I would never have let that man named Niu Er go back." Zhao Wu looked disappointed.
If you can't cheat into the Nanguandao Fort, the only way left is to take action.
Wang Ju thought for a while and then said: "You can send someone to try. Maybe my guess is wrong. The guard of Nanguan Island does not know our identity."
"Forget it, let's attack by force. This time we have brought in more than a dozen cannons. There is no problem in taking down Nanguandao Fort." Zhao Wu gave up the idea of cheating into Nanguandao Fort.
After hearing this, Wang Ju stood up, stretched his neck, looked around, and said, "Captain Chen has brought the cannon over, why didn't I see it?"
"In the back, I asked the artillery team to rest first." Zhao Wu said.
Wang Ju smiled and said: "With the artillery team and these dozen or so cannons, we are more certain to capture Nanguan. It's a pity that Nahai escaped, otherwise we could even capture Jinzhou City together." .”
He captured many Han soldiers and slave soldiers, and he learned from these prisoners that the general in charge of this slave army was Na Hai, the defender of Jinzhou City.
"Don't worry about Jinzhou City now. Our goal is Lushun. After occupying Lushun, we will have the opportunity to expand our territory." Zhao Wu said.
He knew that he didn't have enough troops in his hands, so he never thought of doing something like snake swallowing an elephant. After all, it was only his own food that could be digested in his stomach.
"I'm going to see Captain Chen." Wang Ju stood up.
On the other side, the officers and soldiers of Nanguandao Fort named Niu Er came to the hillside. When they saw the troops and horses coming for reinforcements, they felt something was not right, so they got off the top of the slope and immediately ran back to Nanguandao Fort.
The slave thieves' soldiers and horses were beaten away, and the gate of Nanguandao Fort was not closed again after Niu Er left. After all, the slave thieves had just been defeated and could not threaten Nanguandao Fort for the time being.
As soon as Niu Er came back, he was immediately taken to the fort wall.
"Have you seen the general of the reinforcements? Which general is he?" the guard of Nanguandao Fort asked Niu Er who came back.
Niu Ertou lowered his head and said, "I forgot to ask."
"It's really useless. Nothing can be accomplished by letting you go there." The guard of Nanguandao Fort cursed Niu Er angrily.
The Baihu official on the side looked at Niu Er and said, "Have you never seen the general on the hillside?"
"No, I've never seen him before." Niu Er shook his head repeatedly, denying that he had seen the other person.
At this time, I heard the guard of Nanguandao Fort say: "You are so sloppy in your work. If you had known that you would send someone else, you wouldn't be able to handle even the smallest thing. Okay, you can go down!"
"Yes." Niu Er responded, turned around and prepared to leave.
But after he took a few steps, he suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked at the guard of Nanguandao Fort, with hesitation on his face.
The Baihu official on the side noticed it and said, "Do you have anything else?"
"There is something that I always feel is not quite right. I don't know if I should say it?" Niu Er said.
Hearing this, the guard of Nanguandao Fort said angrily: "If you have anything serious to do, it's because you didn't bring the general's invitation to the banquet!"
"You don't dare. I brought the words here and told the general verbatim." Niu Er quickly defended himself.
Baihuguan asked: "Then what do you want to say?"
"When I was young, I went to the hillside and saw the soldiers and horses brought by the general. They had a lot of firearms. It should be said that most of them used blunderbuss, with a particularly slender knife and a long spear stuck on them. They are the same length, and this is the first time the little one has seen such a thing that is both a blunderbuss and a spear." Niu Er told what he saw on the hillside.
Baihuguan frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "A blunderbuss is not a blunderbuss, a spear is not a spear, what is this, general, have you seen it?"
As he said that, he turned to ask the guard of Nanguam Fort.
"Tell me in detail what you saw on the top of the hillside, and what kind of armor and stomach those people wore, and explain it word for word." The guard of Nanguandao Fort looked serious.
Seeing this, the hundreds of officials on the side also became serious.
Naturally, Niu Er did not dare to hide anything about the matter, and told everything he saw in detail, including the doubts in his heart.
"General, it seems that this group of reinforcements is really extraordinary. Not only are they good at using firearms, but they are also well-dressed and well-dressed. They can even defeat slaves and thieves. Could it be that they came from Dengzhou?" Baihu Guan asked Xiangnan Guandao Fort guard.
The guard of Nanguandao Fort holding his beard in his hand said thoughtfully: "No wonder I thought before that these support troops had too many firearms, including cannons and muskets. The last thing we soldiers want to use is They used fire blunderbuss, but they defeated the slave thieves’ soldiers and horses with fire blunderbuss. I was surprised at first, but now I’m not surprised.”
"What do you mean, general? The general is getting more and more confused as he listens." Baihuguan frowned.
And Niu Er also had a confused look on his face.
The guard of Nanguandao Fort said to the Baihuguan next to him: "Have you ever heard of the Tiger Flag?"
"I've heard of it," Baihuguan said. "If the tiger thieves hadn't sent troops to Lushun, the slave thieves from Jinzhou City would not have suddenly attacked Nanguan Island at this time."
There was dissatisfaction with the Tiger Flag in his tone.
The guard of Nanguan Fort said: "Then do you know what the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag are best at?"
"Of course it's a ship. I heard that even Dengzhou's navy suffered losses near Pi Island." Baihu Guan said smoothly.
