Villager of Daming

Chapter 1268 Delaying Tactics

"Qi Qili, there is no chance. Your people were too slow to gather. They were mobilized by your secret message and took two days to react. When do you think our people will arrive?"

Three days later, the weather gradually became cooler, especially in the morning and evening. Early this morning, the morning glow illuminated the east red.

It's going to rain, whether it will be heavy or light, God knows. Anyway, as long as we hold on, the rain will definitely be a hindrance to the attacking side.

The people from Qiqili came. They had been transferred back and forth before and were in a stupid state. It was two days later when they discovered the problem.

It was not the two thousand cavalrymen that Qi Qili led his men to the river as mentioned, but five thousand cavalrymen.

Observing through the telescope, they are elite soldiers. They don’t have much armor, but their mental state is good and they look like they are brave enough to fight.

If another team were to play against the opponent in a ratio of one to ten, their morale would surely be low. That would be terrible!

The guards don’t care, who isn’t an elite?

Not to mention advanced weapons, even with the same weapons, it would be easy for five hundred guards to break out of the encirclement. Elite troops are different from elite troops.

Zhu Dan didn't have much psychological pressure. All the people from other places were knocked down by Qiqili, and their old nest was also destroyed.

It's just that the places are far away and the teams from other places haven't got there yet.

The troops here are also speeding up, asking them to hold on for another 26 hours, which is the calculated time, unless... there is a morning glow like today, then they will have to postpone it.

"Guess when my people will attack? Are you afraid?"

Qiqili was under a lot of pressure and he even regretted that he shouldn't have come to fool people himself.

Therefore, the presence of 5,000 people at the foot of the mountain could not bring him any sense of security. What was the point of having 5,000 people? Could 50 million people save his life?

"My Wan Hu! After you die, all problems will no longer be problems. You only have the current 5,000.

You asked me if I was afraid? Are you asking if I was afraid of death? Well, I am afraid. I don’t want to die. Life is so beautiful, and I haven’t enjoyed it enough.

Even though the pension after my death is very high, so high that it's scary, I still don't want to die.

Sometimes! If I let you die, you must die. Once I die, my family will immediately live in a nice big house with heating, running water, and flush toilets.

You don't even know what it is, do you want to experience it? As long as you sincerely submit to the Ming Dynasty, you will have steamed buns and millet porridge.

Go and tell them that we are willing to surrender and release their Wan Hu, and they must guarantee our safety.

Send someone to negotiate. As long as they agree to our terms, we will surrender all our forces and lay down our weapons."

Zhu Dan held up a telescope and looked at the cavalry below. There were three horses for each cavalryman, and they had a lot of horses, only slightly less than his own side, with two horses less.

He then told his own people that there were bows and arrows in the team, so they should shoot a few arrows and pass on the message.

Someone was busy over there, and Qi Qili's eyes lit up: "As long as you are willing to follow me, I promise to give you a lot of money and beautiful women."

"I promise I won't follow you. I'm just delaying for a while. Once our people arrive, it won't be your turn to choose the outcome.

You see, it's morning now, and it's going to rain. Let's wait until it rains. Your people won't be able to rush up. There is a ditch there, and the rain water will flow into it after it rains.

The heavier the rain, the more difficult it will be for your men to attack. If we wait until night, we will be even less able to fight. We are in the mountains.

Are you angry or not? You are in our hands, and you still think that we can really negotiate with your people. Oh! I am angry, I am angry just thinking about it!"

Zhu Dan looked nonchalant. It was a negotiation! He was not going to run away. The other party promised that he wanted to win without bloodshed.

"Despicable! The Ming Dynasty's palace guards are like this, they really don't get the position properly, hum!" Qi Qili mocked. "Thank you! It seems that we can go out. Zhu, the head of Xiaqiu Village, said that if a tree has no bark, it will die; if a person has no shame, he will be invincible.

Morals and bottom lines are for others to use, we don’t need them. Anyone who talks about morals and bottom lines is a poor person.

Since we are at war, we must use deception. We have no shame. We will cheat as many times as we can. Isn't it good to be alive?"

"Your headman Zhu is the headman who has a master behind him? He is really not a gentleman. Think about it, if they make money and you follow them, will your emperor agree?"

"You think too much! Xiaqiu Village is the most moral and principle-abiding one. They don't actually have much money.

Compared to ordinary people, they are rich, but according to the skills they have provided and the money they have earned, they are considered poor.

Can you believe that each family only has a few hundred strings of cash, while the money earned for our Ming Dynasty is millions of strings of cash.

According to the data, this year's Ming Dynasty's income, including the court income and the palace income, will exceed 30 million strings of cash.

Isn't it scary? How many people are there in the Ming Dynasty? How many hundred coins can each person provide on average?
You surrender! I will let you see, I will make you a marquis and not let you die. The dead Qiqi is not as powerful as the living Wanhu.

Do you know why I say so many useless words to you? Come, follow me and I will tell you. "

As Zhu Dan was talking, he went to pull Qi Qili and hold the other's arm.

Qiqili hadn't eaten salt since he was arrested, so he was weak! He was being carried on his arm, and he was curious! What did the other party mean?
After walking a certain distance, Zhu Dan stopped.

"Actually, what I just said about letting someone contact your people was meant for you. They have already contacted us and even lent them a telescope to look at us.

You see, we were having a very pleasant conversation, your people saw it through the telescope, and they also saw me walking with you arm in arm.

It means we can talk, and we can talk slowly, there is no rush. It's going to rain, what's your face? They say that all is fair in war, why don't you understand?"

Zhu Dan took Qiqili to a position that could not be seen through the telescope, and finally told the truth, and just then he used Qiqili.

"Puff~~" Qiqili paused and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Is this a fever? Is this a fever? Quick! Bring the Angong Niuhuang Pills over here. He's spitting blood while talking. His mental state is not good!"

Zhu Dan was a little panicked at this time. If the other party died, he couldn't bear the responsibility. He was still waiting to get the bonus! Double the bonus!

……

The rain began to pour down, and Qiqili, who had been vomiting blood, came back to life. He was not only fed Angong Niuhuang Pills, but also drank Yunnan Baiyao.

You cannot take alcohol with most medicines, but Yunnan Baiyao is the only one. The more serious the condition, the more alcohol should be taken, especially the insurance pills.

Xiaqiu Village equipped the team with this thing. It is not expensive. Ginseng is very cheap and is sold by pound, not to mention other medicinal materials.

As for the secret formula, it was kept secret in China during the time of Zhu Wentian, and had to be made known to the outside world. The only thing left was the question of proportion and preparation.

Yunnan Baiyao is not a miracle drug. Even if other countries know its ingredients, they will not specifically imitate it because they have better drugs.

If someone has internal bleeding, they would take other medicines or undergo surgery depending on the situation. Why do they have to take Yunnan Baiyao?
However, Zhu Wentian needed it, and the production of some hemostatic drugs in his laboratory was too small, so it was more cost-effective to prepare Yunnan Baiyao.

"Why don't you attack? You can go down the hill and shoot."

Qiqili, who came back to life, looked very weak, and he discovered something was wrong.

"The best fighters can defeat the enemy without fighting. Give up! Give up! You have too few people, and the logistics can't keep up. Drinking broth, you are so angry that you vomit blood. You won't die. Your condition is called bronchiectasis."

Zhu Dan continued to persuade him patiently. The other party was so angry that he vomited blood, which was just bronchial dilatation or cardia tear. It was easy to deal with!
