Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 50
A Min suffered two disastrous defeats in attacking Yongping two days in a row, and almost lost his life both times. He hated and was afraid of Ji Dong, but after he was shocked and learned from the pain, A Min was still unconvinced.

But there are not many men under his command. When he left Azig and their main force, he brought a total of 1 horses with red flags and blue flags, and now half of them have been lost.

He couldn't go back to see the coach Azig and the superintendent Abatai, and felt it was too embarrassing.

At this time, Yue Tuo, who had just recovered from his condition, came to see him and said that the Han people are good at using tactics, attacking the heart is the first, and attacking the city is the bottom. We might as well learn from the Han people and come to outwit Yongping City.

"How do you learn from these Nanman?" Amin pouted and said disdainfully.

"Master Belle, my subordinates have captured a spy of the Ming army and found two letters from him." Yue Tuo said and gave the two letters to Amin.

Having dealt with Han people for a long time, they still know all these Chinese characters.

A Min looked at the two letters, one was written by Li Qi, the prefect of Yongping, and the other was written by Zu Keyong. Zu Kuan asked for help, and the letter also mentioned that Zu Kuan is currently the deputy commander of Shanhaiguan.

"You want to make something out of these two letters?"

"Master Belle is wise..." Yue Tuo revealed his plan, and Amin clapped his palms and laughed, "You are worthy of being the grand general of Huang Taiji, but unfortunately my cousin can't treat you well. When we take down Yongping , you, Yuetuo, are my lieutenant general, and I, Amin, will never treat you badly."

"Thank you Lord Baylor..."

"Is this spy killed? Ben Baylor wants to see him." Although Amin was arrogant, he was not ignorant.

Of course, Yue Tuo would not kill such a spy easily.

Soon, the spy was brought to Amin.

Amin coerced and lured, coupled with cruel means, from the mouth of this spy, not only knew the authenticity of the two letters, but also learned about many situations in Yongping City.

When he learned that there were only 8000 old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers in the city, and his [-] Eight Banners elites were repeatedly defeated, Amin couldn't believe it.

He realized that Ji Dong was a very difficult opponent, and he even thought of Yuan Chonghuan from the second Ming Dynasty.

At this time, he completely agreed with Yuetuo and outwitted Yongping!

After the plan was finalized, Amin brought 5000 Tartars and came outside Yongping City again.

The troops in the besieged city were somewhat stretched, so they simply concentrated their forces outside the west and south gates, set up camps, did not attack, and began to implement their strategies.

That night.One group of Tartars quietly lay in ambush outside the city gate, while another group of Tartars pretended to be reinforcements of the Ming army, and under the banner of Zu Kuan, suddenly charged into the camp of the Tartars.

For a moment, Amin's camp was full of shouts and flames, and it became a mess.

Someone reported to Lin Yi on a flying horse that our reinforcements had finally arrived, and it was Zu Kuan's men who were attacking the Tazi's camp.

Lin Yi immediately dressed neatly, took Xiaoying, Zhang Hua and others to stand on the top of the city wall, and watched carefully by the light of the fire.

Sure enough, there was an army of Han people, playing under the banner of Zu Kuan, rushed into the Tazi's company camp, and killed everyone they saw.

"My lord, hurry up and fight out of the city. This time, I will definitely wipe out this group of tartars and capture Amin alive." Zhang Hua said beside him.

"No, I suspect there is fraud in this matter." Lin Yi shook his head.

"My lord, where is the deceit?" Zhang Hua, Xiaoying and the others were taken aback. Could this still be fake?

"The reinforcements haven't come for so many days, and they're here today? And it's still at night, and the Tatars are not trapped in the city. They directly attacked the Tatars' joint camp at night without even saying hello. We must confirm."

Lin Yi immediately ordered people to invite Zu Keyong to the top of the city. Zu Keyong stared at the two bun-like eyes and scolded him, "Bastards, the Tartars are too cunning, this is not Mr. Zu at all!" The team of soldiers is definitely disguised by Tartars to lure us into being fooled. Brother Lin, you are so powerful, you can tell there is a fraud in it at a glance. If Kaicheng is fooled by the bastard, the consequences will be unimaginable. We are here Watch how these bastards end up!"

"I don't sleep in the middle of the night, watching them act, the general is very happy, but Lin doesn't have the time, why don't you come up with a trick..."

"This is a bit dangerous, is it too late?"

"Since the general is interested, let's take a look here."

Ji Dong immediately ordered people to prepare...

In the big camp of Tartars outside the city, Tartars and Tartars pretended to be fighting, shouting, running, chasing, flopping, fake injuries, fake deaths, and fake moves. They were completely self-directed and acted out, but the acting was real. Like, with the firelight in the camp, from a distance at night, it looks just like the real thing.

But the Tartars tossed about in the camp for a long time, and there was no movement in the city for a long time.

The impatient A Min couldn't help asking Yue Tuo, "Did they see it through? Why didn't this kid surnamed Lin come out with his troops?"

Yue Tuo said confidently: "Master Baylor, don't worry, hold your breath, and give them enough time to react."

After a while, there was movement in the city.First, the suspension bridge was lowered, and then the Qianjin Gate was opened, the city gate was opened wide, and a Ming army came out from inside.

A Min and Yue Tuo, who were watching in the dark, couldn't help but be overjoyed, their plan finally succeeded.

"Stop rushing, rush into Yongping, and start massacring the city!"

As soon as this Ming army rushed out of the city gate, the Tartars ambushed on both sides outside the city gate, and the Ming army ran away.

Shouting while running.

"It's terrible, we've been fooled... The Tartars have come in... Yongping City can't be defended anymore, run away..."

The Ming army ran fast, and the Tartars behind them chased them quickly.And it wasn't just the ambushes who came chasing in, but also the Tartars who were acting behind them, and they rushed out in full force.

It was too late to close the city, these Tartars rushed into the city, like a flood breaking a bank, countless Tartars crowded into the city.

But when these Tartars rushed into the city, they were a little silly.

Because none of the Ming soldiers they were chasing and killing could be found.The city was quiet, and it was dark all around.The Tartars rushing forward were taken aback for a moment, and then decided to continue charging.

But at this time, they found a lot of firewood under their feet. These firewood were scattered on the ground, and some of them were piled up so high that it was difficult for them to move.The Tartars in the back gathered more and more, and the Tartars in the front had to clear these obstacles.

At this moment, a cannon rang out on the top of the city, and ambushes broke out everywhere.Countless torches shone like daylight. The soldiers on the city walls, as well as the houses in the streets and alleys, and the walls were all ambushes of the Ming army. Apart from bows and arrows, the Ming army held bird blunderbuss, fire blunderbuss, and three-eyed blunderbuss. Soldiers, holding torches in both hands, instead of knives and guns.

In the flames, Lin Yi stood on the top of the wall and laughed.

"You bastards, you've been fooled! Come on, send them to heaven!"

With Lin Yi's order, the Ming army looked down upon them and threw countless torches in their hands towards the Tartars below.

At the same time, the archers and gunmen of the Ming army also opened fire.

Arrows are like rain, and gunshots are like popping beans.The Tartars were caught off guard, and there were countless arrows and guns.

At this time, the torch thrown from above ignited the firewood on the ground, and the fire broke out in the street.

Immediately afterwards, there was an earth-shattering explosion.

"Boom, chatter, boom..."

Its sound even overwhelmed the Hongyi Cannon.

It turned out that there was nothing under the firewood, but some explosives were put on it, the firewood covered it, the torch ignited the firewood, and the firewood triggered the explosion of the explosive.

Some Tartars caught fire, and some were blown into the sky. Coupled with the continuous attacks of bows, arrows and muskets, these Tartars who rushed into the city were three points more unlucky than going to hell.

The tartars in the back didn't see it well, so they ran away, but the tartars behind them were still rushing forward.In this way, the ranks of the Tartars were in chaos at that time. Just near the gates outside the city, countless Tartars rushed and trampled each other, causing countless casualties.

"There are still cannons in the city?" A Min and Yue Tuo, who thought they had a plan, almost fell off their horses in shock.

Originally, the two of them saw that their 1 soldiers would rush towards the city, but now Yongping City can't hold it anymore, let alone [-] old, weak, sick and disabled in the city, even [-] elites have to fight against it. They killed them all.

But the sound of flames and explosions in the city shattered their dreams.

Immediately afterwards, both of them felt that this was impossible. If there were cannons in the city, could the Ming army still wait until now?As early as in the first two battles, the Ming army fired on them.

Soon they figured it out, it was an explosion more powerful than the sound of a cannon.

The tartar who reported the incident ran over in a panic, almost out of breath.

"Lord Baylor... Something is wrong with Lord Baylor... We were fooled, there was an ambush in the city... Can't get in, can't get out, heavy casualties..."

"Withdraw, quickly withdraw..." Amin was discouraged.

Next, Amin and Yue Tuo watched the explosion and flames in the city continue until they calmed down.

It was already dawn, the drawbridge of the city gate had been pulled up long ago, and the city gate had been closed long ago. The outside of the city gate and the banks of the moat were all dead and wounded by Tartars, but they couldn't see what was going on inside the city gate.

5000 Tartars were wiped out overnight.

There were very few Tartars who were lucky enough to withdraw, and with the addition of the two personal guards of the Big Baylor, there were about 600 people around Amin and Yuetuo at this time.

Seeing these remnants and defeated generals, A Min's big face was terribly gloomy, Yue Tuo felt dizzy, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and then his chest heaved up and down, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell under the horse.

The soldiers were in a panic, they helped Yue Tuo up from the ground, and called for rescue.

At this moment, there was movement again in the city.The drawbridge was lowered and the city gates opened wide.A Ming army rushed out howling.

Lin Yi, Xiaoying, Zhang Hua, He Tao, Wang Qi, Erhu, Dongsheng were the ones rushing to the front, following closely behind.

The fat man with the pole and the big man with the shovel also rushed over. The pole in Gan Bao's hand had already turned into an iron pole, and Jiang Xingyuan's big shovel had also become a veritable big shovel made of pure metal.

Behind them are countless soldiers of the Ming army, shouting like a tide, rushing towards them.

The invincible Amin dared not fight now, and with hundreds of defeated soldiers and the unconscious Yuetuo had no choice but to run away.

Lin Yi and the others followed closely behind. This time they chased for more than 30 miles in one go. They didn't withdraw their troops back to the city until Amin and the others disappeared without a trace.

By the time Ji Dong returned to the city with more than 1000 victorious soldiers, it was already evening.

Although Lin Yi and the others were exhausted, this battle was still very exciting. The plan was to wipe out thousands of enemies overnight, and all the tents of the Tartars outside the South City and West City were their spoils of war.

The battlefield in the city had already been cleaned up, and the city gate was wide open. The magistrate Li Qi led the staff and yamen to beat gongs and drums to welcome these heroes. There were also shadows of Zu Keyong and Wang Jian inside.

There are many gentry and wealthy households and many spontaneous poor people, and there are huge crowds of people.
