Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 667
Time is a good thing, it witnesses people's hearts, and it can also make people forget some unpleasant things.

Jiang Taiji's behavior once again confirmed the saying that people who are not of our race must have different hearts.

Because he could not withstand the temptation of Li Yu in the end, he decided to rebel against Ye Xun, because he wanted to understand that if he returned to the Ming Dynasty after the war, he would have the highest official position, that is, the commander-in-chief, but it would be different if he stayed in North Korea. His official title is the Marshal of the Korean Army, and another title is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

Originally from the same root, but with such a big temptation, Jiang Taiji seems to be unable to find any reason not to betray.

What Jiang Taiji didn't know was that Li Zhen had secretly hooked up with Huang Taiji three years ago.

Not to mention this era, even in the modern age of rapid technological development, there are also places where intelligence cannot be taken into account, not to mention it is in North Korea, so the people in the West Factory did not find out about it.

In this way, headed by Huang Taiji who was hidden behind the scenes, together with Li Zhen and Jiang Taiji, the three formed a united front and decided to fight back to Liaodong.

Huang Taiji's promise to Li Ji was that in addition to the Korean peninsula, Liaodong Bend would also be assigned to North Korea.

It must be said that Li Xun was really bullied by Ye Xun. He finally understood that Ye Xun had no intention of helping him at all. When he used up his remaining value, he should be kicked aside.

If he didn't want to understand this point, he wouldn't dare to play tricks on Ye Xun with the courage of Li Zhen.

The reason why Huang Taiji chose to go to war was also a strategy of breaking the boat. After more than six years of blockade, North Korea has almost become a barren land. If it continues, the Jurchens may have to eat the North Koreans as food.

Huang Taiji had successfully attacked Kuandian on New Year's Eve. This time he chose to attack in the early hours of the first day of the Lunar New Year with the intention of catching the Ming army by surprise.

Huang Taiji and Li Zhen planned very carefully, that is, they used Jiang Taiji's subordinates as the vanguard, and pretended to be defeated and fled back to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as Jiang Taiji's men stand still on the other side, the Jurchen and North Korean allied forces can kill them in one go.

In order to hide the secret from the secret agents of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji and Li Yu tried their best to hide the army by the Yalu River little by little like ants moving their house. Even so, they only gathered [-] troops.

Therefore, the greatest hope of Huang Taiji and Li Zhen is still on Jiang Taiji.

It has to be said that Ye Xun is quite foresighted when dealing with aliens, so Liaodong has always been on guard against Jiang Taiji. In terms of military supplies, he will give what he asks, otherwise the consequences will be hard to say.

Jiang Taiji was guilty of being a thief, and at the same time, in order not to arouse Cao Wenzhao's vigilance, so every time he came to ask for supplies, he would choose some inconspicuous things. He also knew that there were no major wars in North Korea, such as artillery or new-style muskets. Don't even think about it.

Cao Wenzhao suffered a loss once, so he has always been worried about this matter, especially when it comes to special festivals, he never slacks off.

In the past few years, he spent New Year's Eve at the forefront of border defense by the Yalu River.

Jiang Taiji led a group of people in a panic, trying to get away with it. On the other hand, the Jurchens' commando team attacked the watchtowers at the same time.

Although the assault went smoothly, the Jurchens obviously ignored the bloodiness of the Ming soldiers.

After a whistle chief was cut, seeing the enemy's strength, he lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead, and then lit the beacon when the Jurchens were not paying attention.

The biggest advantage of the beacon is that it is transmitted quickly, and it cannot be extinguished after being ignited, so when the beacon is here, the barracks on the Daming side of the Yalu River received the signal.

As mentioned before, the bunkers built by Cao Wenzhao are all connected by tunnels, so that soldiers can reach the forefront in the shortest time.

Hearing that the beacon fire was lit, Cao Wenzhao was not surprised but delighted. He raised his head to the sky and screamed. It has been eight years. I have been waiting for this day for eight full years, and finally I have the opportunity to make my father feel ashamed.

The troops were ordered to immediately cancel their vacations, enter their respective combat positions, and report to Shenyang and the capital at the same time.
Before Cao Wenzhao's order was issued, soldiers who reported from the front rushed back.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, Jiang Taiji led thousands of remnant soldiers to move closer to the position."

Cao Wenzhao didn't know that Jiang Taiji had rebelled, but if they were allowed to approach at this time, the Ming army's artillery fire would definitely not be able to cover the Jurchen army behind.

"Fire a cannon to warn them, tell them to retreat to the sides, if they get any closer to Kill Wu'she!"

The enemy is now, so there is time to hesitate?Moreover, Cao Wenzhao has been at the border for a long time, and like Ye Xun, he also looks down on these Koreans very much.

The messenger promised, turned around and left quickly.

The camp was not far from the bunker, and when Cao Wenzhao was rushing forward, he had already heard the sound of rumbling guns in front of him.

Cao Wenzhao couldn't help frowning, secretly thinking that he came so fast.

The defense line of the Ming army extended forward in the shape of steps, among which were deep and wide tunnels. In such a terrain, the cavalry could not exert any advantage at all, and the front was the wide Yalu River, walking on the ice without any shelter. On the surface, they are like moving targets.

Because of the blocking of Jiang Taiji's subordinates, the Ming army lost the best shooting time. Although the artillery fire was urgent, the Jurchen army charging the column was no longer able to cause mass destruction.

When Cao Wenzhao came to the high place, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Mingdi, give up the first line of defense, and detonate the explosives after the Jurchens rush up."

When building the dark fort, Cao Wenzhao thought of everything possible, and the artillery in the dark fort is the oldest and cumbersome artillery, even if it is discarded, it will not cause any loss to the Ming army.

Following Cao Wenzhao's order, sharp and piercing blares rang out over the battlefield, and soon groups of Ming soldiers were seen retreating along the tunnel like ants, and the artillery fire also stopped.

Without the threat of artillery fire, the Jurchen and North Korean coalition forces rushed to the Ming army's position at the fastest speed with strange screams.

Huang Taiji and Li Zhen, who were behind the formation, couldn't help being overjoyed when they saw this, and Huang Taiji even shed tears.

After more than eight years, I finally set foot on the land of my hometown again. After more than eight years, Liaodong should also be fattened up, right?
"Boom, boom"

The loud explosions immediately froze the smiles of Huang Taiji and Li Tan on their faces.

Looking around, I saw that the Jurchen and North Korean soldiers who rushed to the Ming army's position before had been rushed into the air by the huge explosion wave. In the sound of explosions one after another, except for the broken limbs flying all over the sky, the entire position was shrouded. In thick fog.

Seeing this situation, the hearts of Huang Taiji and Li Zhen sank.

Combined with Jiang Taiji's intelligence in recent years, they don't say they know the Ming army in Kuandian like the back of their hands, but they still know the basic situation. Even Cao Wenzhao knows when he rests every day, but they never expected that explosives were buried in the Ming army's position. Aren't they afraid to blow themselves up to the sky?

The huge explosion also frightened the Jurchen and North Korean coalition forces. There was no retreat order in the rear, so they couldn't just retreat like this, right?

But the previous situation is already very obvious, the Ming army has already dug a big hole and waited for them.

After hesitating, the smoke in front finally cleared, and the sharp-eyed Jurchen soldier suddenly screamed, then turned and ran away, regardless of the military order or not.

The army looked at the Ming army's position in astonishment, but saw groups of Ming soldiers squatting or standing behind the smoke, and each Ming army held a black and bright musket in their hands.
