Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 307 Wu Sangui's trick (3)

Zhu Yousong had just ambushed 2 people around the village on the mountainside, when Zheng Hongkui and Zu Keyong led more than 4000 remnants and defeated soldiers, and ran past in embarrassment under their noses.Zhu Yousong hid himself from the heights and looked down very clearly, his mouth was slightly upturned and curved into an arc, he nodded, thinking that the two generals acted well, and as expected, Wu Sangui's men will catch up soon .

Therefore, Zhu Yousong issued an order to order the battalions to hide well and prepare for battle, but do not expose the target in advance, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted, and the critical time will come.

Sure enough, the time was not long, and a scout came to report to him, saying that the Qing army had come after him.

Zhu Yousong was very happy. It is estimated that Wu Sangui never dreamed that he would ambush him here. This battle must wipe out the Qing army, capture Wu Sangui alive, and then do something about Wu Sangui, which will harm Zu Dashou. These serial schemes If it can all be realized, it will eliminate a few confidantes of several Damings.

But Zhu Yousong was only half happy, because the Qing army suddenly stopped chasing forward, and stopped a few miles outside their ambush circle, taking a temporary rest on the mountain road, and the Qing army that came was only a few thousand Qingqi.

Zhu Yousong then understood that this must be Wu Sangui's vanguard, the general was pushed back, and Wu Sangui led the main force must be behind. It was obvious that they wanted to chase and kill the Ming army, but were also afraid of being ambushed by the Ming army. What a cunning Wu Sangui!

"Your Majesty, what should they do if they don't move forward?" He Xuanjiao was more anxious than Zhu Yousong.

The hole has been dug, but if someone stands on the edge of the hole and refuses to jump in, you will stare and fail.Zhu Yousong steadied his mind, he didn't scatter the eagle when he saw the rabbit, and didn't do anything if he didn't jump into the pit. Zhu Yousong thought: "Damn it, wait a little longer."

"We are very close to the Qing army. Will it be exposed if we wait any longer? What if they send someone over to investigate?" Zheng Damu frowned.

Li Quan's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, why don't I take a team to bring them in?"

"Yes, this is a good notice, Your Majesty, I am willing to go with you." Liu Chunhong glanced at the man she admired very much, and followed suit.

"I'll go with you, first turn these Qing soldiers on their backs." He Xuanjiao raised his brows, and drew his sword out of its sheath with a clang.

"No." Zhu Yousong shook his head, "If there are only a few thousand Qing troops, this is a good way. Wu Sangui's main force is not far from here. Doing so will only scare the snake, and it will not be able to wipe out these thousands of Qing troops. Wu Sangui's The main force will arrive, so they will be very passive. Let's not move them for now, and wait and see what happens. If there is no surprise, they must be waiting for Wu Sangui's main force, and wait for Wu Sangui's brigade to arrive and observe their behavior before doing it. Intend."

The generals will act according to the order.In a short period of time, Li Quan came to report with a hundred households of guards in Jinyi: "Your Majesty really knows things like a god, we have already found out, the Qing army that came is about 5000 people, it is Wu Sangui's vanguard, the two leaders The general, one is Wu Yingguang, nephew of Wu Sangui, and the other is Ma Bao, the deputy general. Now this Wu Yingguang has brought a hundred people to the village, and they have entered our ambush range. You want to loot this village, and you want to make fun of the girls."

It turned out that the Jin Yiwei sent by Li Quan had already listened to the conversation between Ma Bao and Wu Yingguang on the side of the road.

"These animals!" Zheng Damu cursed, suddenly realizing the seriousness of the problem, "Your Majesty, this is terrible. Once they enter the village, the ambush in the village will be exposed."

When Zheng Damu said this, He Xuanjiao, Li Quan, Liu Chunhong and others immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. If the target was exposed in advance, the plan to ambush Wu Sangui would come to naught. After a lot of tossing, Wu Sangui led his men and horses to arrive, but the Ming army was still caught in the attack of the Qing army before and after, which was obviously not good for Zhu Yousong.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" All the generals looked at Zhu Yousong.

"Wu Yingguang, Wu Sangui's nephew?" Zhu Yousong repeated, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Well done! Now it's impossible for Wu Sangui not to be fooled. According to my order, the more than 100 who died will be cleaned up first, remember Those who live in Wu Yingguangzhen want to live, and the rest will be shot and killed if they resist, and one is not allowed to escape, but they are not allowed to use guns, and the battle is quick."

"Follow the order." Zheng Damu, Li Quan, Liu Chunhong and others understood, agreed, and arranged to go. Zhu Yousong and He Xuanjiao hid themselves in the dense forest at a high place, paying attention to the movement on the official road below the ridge.

Soon a Qing army on the official road came into Zhu Yousong's sight.

It was Wu Yingguang who came. He listened to Ma Bao's suggestion and dared not rush forward to chase the Ming army, but he felt that his uncle Pingxi Wang Wu Sangui was waiting here for him. He ate wild game and wanted to play with women, so he disregarded Ma Bao's advice and took his personal guards away from the vanguard for a few miles, and came to this village halfway up the mountain, intending to clean up the small village.

But after he entered this small village along the mountain road with more than a hundred Qing army Qingqi, he found that the village was quiet, every house was closed, not to mention people, not even a dog. Wu Yingguang didn't think much about it. He thought that the troops must have fought here, and the common people were scared away, and those who hadn't had time to hide hid at home, but let's see where you can hide?

"Come on, search for this general!" Wu Yingguang stared at the wolf-like eyes, and shouted, and more than a hundred Qing soldiers under his command rushed in after hearing the news, each armed with swords and guns, entering every house, kicking open the door, Those who can't be kicked will be smashed with knives, stabs, and axes, which is more vicious than Japanese devils entering the village.

However, they were dumbfounded when they broke through the door. There were all Ming soldiers inside, with their bows and knives out of their sheaths, glaring at them.

These Qing troops were shocked and knew that they had been fooled. Some of them ran away before they could react, and some shouted, but it was too late. Some were beheaded by the Ming army on the spot, blood splashed on the houses, some were pushed to the ground on the spot, and some voluntarily surrendered to save their lives. According to Zhu Yousong's will, the Ming army did not kill the prisoners, but tied them up. , Afraid that they would shout to kill, so they blocked their mouths.

But these abnormal movements still alarmed Wu Yingguang on the street. Although Wu Yingguang was not a good character, he was very vigilant. When he saw that the momentum was wrong, he took a dozen soldiers on horseback and ran out of the village.

But after a few steps, they reined in their horses and stopped running, because a Ming army in front blocked the way, and the young general Zheng Damu was the leader. Looking back, a Ming army also came, the leading general It was Li Quan and Liu Chunhong, who was disguised as a man. The three generals led hundreds of Ming soldiers to block Wu Yingguang and a dozen people in the street.

"Boy, let's catch him with nothing, and he can live a little longer." Li Quan had been the head of the East Factory, and he had already cultivated his iron-blooded face.

"Come on!" How could Wu Yingguang listen to him, and drew out his waist knife to kill Li Quan.
