Chapter 122

After struggling for a while, Jiang Chuan suddenly had an idea, and said to Liu Ji, "Military Master, since Duoduo has used arrogant tricks against us, how about we being fooled once?"

Looking at Jiang Chuan's shining eyes, Liu Ji asked in his heart, "What good idea does my lord have?"

Jiang Chuan leaned over and said, "That's what I think." So he explained his thoughts in this way, and Liu Ji was first surprised and then admired after hearing it.

"My lord's move is really bold, but if it succeeds, then this battle will be over, and we will really have the qualifications to negotiate with Huang Taiji." Liu Ji praised,

"Since the military adviser also agrees, then do this." Jiang Chuan slapped the table and said.

"However, my lord, you must not act too hastily. It would be better to wait another day for the effect, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the Tartars." Liu Ji added after thinking about it.

"Success, listen to the military adviser." Jiang Chuan readily agreed.

The two of them got together to discuss various details for a long time, sometimes speaking in a low voice, and sometimes their voices became louder when arguing on some disagreement issues.

In the end, an hour had passed after the two agreed.

Qi Xuan had already poked her head around the door a few times and saw that the two bosses were busy, so she didn't dare to come in to disturb her.It wasn't until the conversation between the two of them was over that the food that had been heated several times was brought in.

Jiang Chuan also happened to be hungry, and he didn't take off his military uniform. He and Liu Ji finished their meal like a storm and went up to the tower again.

Asked Bai Mu, Qing soldiers have been very quiet, and there is nothing unusual.

Jiang Chuan told Bai Mu to continue to monitor and report to him in time if there was any movement.

In the past few days, because he has something on his mind and various arrangements, he has been a little sleep deprived.So after going up to the third floor of the city tower, he fell asleep on the low couch, and soon snored loudly.

This person is too tired to sleep without dreaming.

He didn't know how long he had been asleep, when he suddenly heard someone calling him softly, Jiang Chuan opened his eyes suddenly, and grabbed the lord's great sword beside him.

Taking a closer look, it was Bai Mu.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chuan got up and asked.

"My lord, the Tartars are attacking the city again," Bai Mu said.

"Go, go out and have a look." Jiang Chuan immediately came to his senses, stood up and strode out, Bai Mu followed behind.

When I got out of the city tower, I saw that the attack of the Qing soldiers was the same as in the morning, and they basically collapsed at the first touch. After repeated several times, they left hundreds of corpses and then retreated back to the camp.

If it weren't for Liu Ji's analysis, Jiang Chuan would have even thought that Duoduo wanted to join him, so he kept giving him heads.

But he was even more convinced that Duoduo's envoy was a trick of arrogant soldiers.

Let alone Jiang Chuan now, even mid-level generals like Bai Mu felt something was wrong.

"My lord, even if the Tartars are sent to death, that's not the way to die. The general sees that he intends to consume our supplies for the city defense." Bai Mu said as he looked at the Qing soldiers retreating back to the camp in a hurry.

"Maybe Duoduo really thinks so. Continue to monitor. We will collect the heads a few times when the Tartars come. Don't worry about the supplies. There are plenty of them." Jiang Chuan patted Bai Mu on the shoulder and smiled.

Early the next morning, the Qing soldiers attacked the city again as usual, but this time the attack seemed to be more violent, so there were more corpses left under the city.

Shang Kexi couldn't figure out what Duduo was doing, he and Kong Youde's troops were attacking the city these few days, the two troops took turns to attack the city, and there were nearly a thousand casualties on his own side.

Those Manchu soldiers and Mongol soldiers were standing there watching the fun, and when the general saw him, he would sarcasm loudly from time to time, which made him extremely annoyed, but he couldn't be tough with these people, so he almost got internal injuries .

Kong Youde was even more depressed, because his subordinates suffered more casualties than Shang Kexi's subordinates, so the two of them were in the same illness, and went to Duoduo for fear of offending the master, so they could only complain in private.

Fortunately, after the whole army finished their meal at noon, Duoduo beat drums to gather the generals to discuss matters in the central army tent.

The large tent of the Chinese Army is quite large, and facing the door is a large handsome case, and behind the handsome case is a big tiger-skin chair, which is the position of the coach Duduo.At this time, there was no one on the big chair.

Behind the big chair is a huge screen made of sheepskin to cover the back tent.

On the east side of the commander's case is a row of weapon racks with various weapons inserted on them, and an armor rack stands beside it.On the west side of the commander's case, there are various colored flag tokens and the commander's seal.

There are two rows of general piers on both sides of the open space under the handsome case.

The generals of the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han tribes entered the big tent one after another, all restrained their voices, and each found a general to sit down.

From behind the sheepskin screen, a young servant in soft armor turned out, and shouted loudly: "The commander-in-chief raised the tent, and the generals rise!"

Everyone hastily stood up and looked at the handsome case, and saw Duoduo step out from behind the handsome case, and then sat on the big tiger-skin chair, looking around the generals with majestic eyes.

"Slaves wait to see the commander!" All the generals saluted in unison.

"Sit." Duoduo waved his hand, and the generals dared to sit down.

Everyone is proud to be called a slave, and the level is not enough, and those who are not qualified enough just want to be called a slave.This is also the unique scenery of the Qing Dynasty, which is really the only one in the shit of scorpions.

"Our army has been lingering here for five or six days, and has been attacking the city for three consecutive days. It has suffered a lot of damage, but has not made any progress. Let's talk about how to fight this battle." Duoduo glanced at the crowd and said straight to the point.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one took the initiative to speak, and the big tent fell silent for a moment.

Just kidding, you, a coach, have sent people to attack for three days and have not made any progress. If we say there is a good way, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?As long as you are not stupid about this kind of thing, you will never take the initiative to speak up.

And everyone heard that this master doesn't seem to have a big heart, if he offends him today, he will suffer in the future.

Therefore, with this idea in mind, no one took the initiative to offer advice.

Duoduo smiled coldly, and seemed to understand what everyone meant, and turned his attention directly to Kong Youde.

"General Kong, tell me. Your troops have frequently attacked the city these days, so you should know something about the bandit army and tell us what you think." Duoduo called directly.

Kong Youde was so depressed that he didn't dare to go to see this master in private. He didn't expect that he would want to speak his heart in front of so many people. It would really put him on fire.

But he couldn't stop talking, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally stood up and said, "This slave thinks that the fighting power of this bandit army is extraordinary, and he built this bandit den so strong and tall that it is stronger than other fortified cities like Datong City." If you want to take this city, you have to use red cannons to bombard it. Therefore, this slave thinks that the prince will quickly mobilize the red cannons to come here, and he will be able to break the city in one fell swoop."

Kong Youde also weighed it over and over again, and he dared to speak when he felt that such a statement would not offend Duoduo too much.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, before Duduo made a judgment, a general on the opposite side suddenly stood up and cursed: "You dog slave, you are clearly greedy for life and afraid of death, but you still say that manpower is hard to do, you are talking nonsense, and you should be executed immediately."

When everyone saw it, it was a young Manchu general who was pointing at Kong Youde like a sword and yelling curses.

But Duduo seemed to turn a blind eye to this, and put on a posture of watching a show.

No matter how much Kong Youde could bear it, he couldn't help it anymore, and said with a black face, "Oboi, we are all ministers of the same dynasty, don't bully others too much. What Kong said is true, and these few days The Japanese siege subordinates suffered a lot of injuries, why are you greedy for life and afraid of death? If you insult me ​​like this again, Kong will try his best to find justice for Kong in front of the emperor."

This person is none other than Aobai, who belongs to the Xianghuang Banner, and is also a Manchurian fierce general who has made illustrious military exploits.Back then, he made great contributions in conquering Phi Island, so he was bestowed the title of "Batulu" by Huang Taiji, which means warrior.

And Aobai has always been rebellious, with a strong and irritable personality. He has repeatedly defeated the Ming army in his many years of fighting career, so he despises the Ming army.He even looked down on Kong Youde Shang Kexi, a general of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered because of defeat, and often looked for opportunities to find fault.

Kong Youde was often bullied by Oboi, but he didn't expect that Oboi dared to humiliate him in public in the tent of the Chinese army. This made him feel resentful for many days, and he didn't care about offending others. , He bluntly asked Huang Taiji to uphold justice for himself.

When Aobai heard that Kong Youde, a defeated general, dared to use Huang Taiji to scare him, he became even more furious, and drew out his knife to cut Kong Youde.

Kong Youde didn't dare to show weakness, he drew his waist knife and was about to charge forward.

The people on both sides hurriedly grabbed the two sides, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Duduo, who had been watching coldly, snorted coldly: "You are all good at it. You roared and swung your sword in front of this king, but don't you think that this king doesn't exist?"

After all, Kong Youde, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, was raised by his stepmother. Hearing this, he quickly sheathed his knife, knelt on the ground and said, "Forgive me, my lord. It's not that I don't respect my lord. It's just that Oboi deceived me too much. Please forgive me, my lord." crime!"

Aobai didn't take it seriously, let out a heavy snort, put the knife into the scabbard carelessly, and sat back on the seat, still staring at Kong Youde with bull's eyes.

Duoduo glanced at Oboi, a sternness flashed in his eyes, then he turned to Kong Youde and said with a sneer, "Since you are a slave, you must have the awareness to be a slave. Even if the master beats and scolds you, you have to bear it well, otherwise you will be punished." This time, I will pick off your head for you."

Although Kong Youde knew that Duoduo would not uphold justice for him, when he heard such blatant humiliation, a huge anger surged in his heart, his lips were almost bitten, and he lowered his head, his black face turned even redder.

After a long while, he raised his head and said slowly: "Thank you for your teaching, my servant knows I was wrong."

Duoduo naturally saw Kong Youde's anger, smiled disdainfully, waved his hands and said, "Continue to talk about the siege."

After such an incident, the generals of the Han people basically kept their mouths shut, and all of them looked unhappy.

Mongolian generals are not good at attacking cities, so they have no good ideas.

Only a group of Manchurian generals were talking about various opinions.After all, it is nothing more than building more ladders and continuing to attack the city.Arranging a supervising team, daring to take a step back and kill Wushe, etc. There are not many constructive words.

Things like siege were not good for the Man Qing before they got the red cannon.

Doduo frowned, looking at the messy scene, he secretly cursed a group of idiots.

At this moment, a personal guard came into the account and reported: "My lord, the bandit army in the valley has sent someone to challenge our army."

The generals were still in a mess just now, when they heard this, they were taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter, as if they heard a very funny joke.

Especially Oboi laughed the most arrogantly, his saliva almost sprayed on the face of the soldier who reported the message.

Dodo was also taken aback, but soon a smug smile appeared on his face: "How many people are here?"

"Reporting to the prince, there are only two people." The soldier said.

"Okay, the thieves have the guts to let them in." Duoduo ordered.

After a while, two swordsmen in iron armor walked in slowly from outside the tent. Both of them were in silver armor with long swords hanging from their waists, and walked in proudly.

The person in front is tall, with a handsome face, but recently there is a faint smile on his face.

But there is a person behind him with a solemn expression, it is the young general who came to summon Duduo last time.

The two walked into the big tent proudly, looked around a little, and then saw Duoduo sitting on the handsome seat.

Before Doduo could speak, Oboi jumped out and shouted: "The bandits are so brave, they dare to come to my tent in Manchuria, aren't they afraid of being chopped into meat paste?"

And the long knife at the waist has been unsheathed and placed on the neck of the leading swordsman.

The swordsman behind him looked cold, and when he was about to move, his companion stopped him by shaking his head.

The handsome swordsman at the head laughed loudly, and gently pushed aside Oboi's gleaming waist knife with his fingers: "It's really funny, your Manchurian tent is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's den. Since we dared to come, of course we didn't take it to heart. But we If there is one hair missing from our body, our general will cut off one hand of your delicate Princess Gulun Yongmu. If we are missing a hand, then you will wait to collect the body of your highness Princess. .”

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals were furious, they all drew out their knives and stared angrily, some people yelled, swords were on the verge of breaking out, and the two of them looked like they were going to be chopped into pieces in no time.

But the handsome swordsman was still not afraid, and still had that faint smile on his face, as if he didn't notice the dangerous scene in front of him at all.

Duoduo sat behind the handsome case and watched coldly. Seeing that this person was so calm and composed, he felt admiration in his heart. He thought to himself that there were so many powerful people in this small den of thieves, and he was a little surprised.

The idea of ​​beheading these two men did arise in his mind, although he said that the two armies were at war, and they were not to be beheaded.But in Duduo's eyes, the opposite party is simply a group of thieves and bandits, who are not worthy to be placed in the same position as his Manchurian army.

But since the other party mentioned the safety of the princess, he had to be concerned.If these two insignificant thieves are killed, and the princess really has an accident, then she will inevitably be hated by Huang Taiji, which will be harmful to the ambition of the king's brother Dorgon.

Having made up his mind, Duoduo waved his hands and said: "All the generals step down, don't be rude."

This time, everyone retracted their knives and sat back in their seats aggrievedly, but they all stared at the two of them, as if they wished to tear a piece of flesh out of their bodies with their eyes.

The two silver-armored swordsmen didn't seem to notice it at all. The handsome swordsman in the lead cast his eyes on Duoduo, and said with a faint smile, "May I ask, this is His Royal Highness Duoduo, King Yu of the Qing Dynasty?"

"It's my lord, tell me why you are here." Duduo asked coldly with a flash of light in his eyes.

"It's better to be famous than to meet, and it's better to be famous than to meet. It is said that Duoduo is a famous general in Manchuria, and he is able to run the army well. Seeing him today is really eye-opening. Haha..." The handsome swordsman did not answer Duoduo directly, but turned to the man behind him. The partner laughed.

Some of the Manchurian generals heard the sarcasm in the opponent's words, while others did not, but they could see the unscrupulous madness of the opponent, and they almost couldn't hold fire, and all of them stared wide-eyed and wished Immediately go up and chop these two arrogant guys.

Duduo's expression was not good, he was obviously mocking himself for his inability to manage the army, which is why the generals were in chaos just now, he stared at the handsome swordsman with a cold smile and said: "Little thief, you dare to act presumptuously in front of this king. Is it true that this king dare not kill you?"

As soon as Duoduo said a word, a group of soldiers poured into the big tent with a clatter, and the two swordsmen were surrounded by shining spears, and the spear tip was barely an inch away from their throats.

 The backstage was convulsed, and it couldn't be posted for a long time, and it turned out to be the next day.
