A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The battle was over, and the enemy was killed.

Compared to Fan Wencheng's home, the defense of Li Yongfang's home was indeed tighter.

As the first Ming general to surrender to the Later Jin, Li Yongfang was immediately reused after the surrender. He also married the daughter of a Later Jin Beile and served as the general of the Later Jin.

When Nurhaci led his army to attack Kaiyuan and Tieling, Li Yongfang participated in the battle and performed quite actively.

It was for this reason that Li Yongfang was more afraid of the Ming army's Jinyiwei coming to assassinate him than Fan Wencheng.

If it were in other seasons, it would not be so easy for Lu Cheng to sneak into the backyard of Li's mansion without being discovered.

But it was winter now, and the guards of the Li Mansion had relaxed their vigilance, which gave Lu Cheng the opportunity to enter the backyard.

When he found the main room in the backyard, Lu Cheng found that there were two maids on duty in the room, who were sitting at the table and taking a nap.

There should be a heated kang in the room, and the warmth in the room could be felt slightly through the window. As expected of the son-in-law of the Later Jin Dynasty, this treatment was different.

Lu Cheng walked to the door and stuffed a lit incense through the crack of the door. After waiting for a while, the two little maids in the room tilted their heads and fell asleep on the table.

Then, Lu Cheng drew out the short knife again, unbolted the door, walked into the room, and quickly approached the bed.

As a general of the frontier army, Li Yongfang had been on the battlefield for a long time and was very afraid of death. His vigilance was much stronger than Fan Wencheng.

As soon as Lu Cheng approached the window, Li Yongfang seemed to wake up.

Lu Cheng immediately covered the man's mouth and nose with a drug to make him fall asleep again. He looked at the woman next to him and knocked her out in the same way.

As for Li Yongfang, Lu Cheng did not ask, but searched the room and found many jewelry, real gold and silver, and a large stack of silver bills.

The silver bills alone added up to nearly 30,000 taels of silver.

There was also a lot of real gold and silver, which were all put into Lu Cheng's storage space, which was much more than what he had gained from Fan Wencheng's house before.

Before surrendering to the Later Jin, Li Yongfang was a senior general of the Ming army, and many soldiers in Liaodong knew him. Lu Cheng specifically asked someone about Li Yongfang's appearance, and found Xiong Tingbi to get Li Yongfang's portrait.

Therefore, Lu Cheng recognized Li Yongfang directly without having to find someone to confirm anything.

After searching the house for valuables, Lu Cheng cut off Li Yongfang's head and set up booby traps in the same way he dealt with Fan Wencheng before.

This time, Lu Cheng placed explosive packs under Li Yongfang's headless body and the body of the "Princess" of the Later Jin Dynasty.

After doing all this, Lu Cheng immediately left Li's house and quickly ran towards the base of the city wall.

With the help of a flying rope, he climbed over the city wall and came to the place where he had agreed with Ding Xiu. Lu Cheng already had the heads of Fan Wencheng and Li Yongfang in his hands.

The two did not say much nonsense, and immediately rode on fast horses and headed towards Liaoyang.

Less than an hour after Lu Cheng and Ding Xiu left Hetuala City, a violent explosion suddenly shook the entire Hetuala City.

Not long after, two or three more explosions sounded in succession, and the entire Hetuala City was completely in chaos.

At this time, Lu Cheng and Ding Xiu had already left Hetuala City for dozens of miles and were completely out of danger.

There is no doubt that this was a beautiful assassination.

He went deep into the enemy city, successfully assassinated and beheaded, and left quietly.

Before dawn the next day, Nurhaci received a report from his subordinates that his most valued Han military advisor Fan Wencheng and the Jin prince Li Yongfang were both killed at home. Not only were their heads chopped off, but their bodies were also blown up to pieces.

For a time, the entire Later Jin was shocked.

The assassin had gone into the city to kill people, but was not discovered by anyone. Since the assassin was able to kill Fan Wencheng and Li Yongfang this time, he might be able to assassinate the Eight Banners of the Later Jin next time.

For a time, the whole Hetuala was in panic, and Nurhaci immediately ordered to block the entire city to search for the assassin.

After a long investigation, some traces were finally found on a city wall, and it was known that the assassin had left.

Then, Nurhaci immediately sent thousands of cavalry to chase the assassin in multiple directions.

However, at this time, Lu Cheng and Ding Xiu had already rushed to a distance of a hundred miles without stopping.

They avoided the tribes along the way and did not stop until the evening.

With two horses and one person, they ran more than two hundred miles in just one day.

.

After finding a secluded forest, Lu Cheng and Ding Xiu stopped to rest and took out some fodder and soybeans to feed the warhorses.

Looking at the two heads hanging on the warhorses, Ding Xiu was still a little unbelievable: "Uncle Master, are these really the heads of Fan Wencheng and Li Yongfang?"

"If it weren't for them, would I have to work so hard?"

"Uncle Master, your assassination skills are really amazing. One hit and a thousand miles away, just like what is said in some historical novels."

"If you can go through rigorous training, you can also reach this standard. However, this behavior is still a bit risky, and it's okay to try it occasionally."

"Can I learn it?"

"Of course, go back and train with the special operations team first."

"Forget it, I think I am more suitable for charging into battle."

Ding Xiu's personality is indeed not suitable for special operations, but more suitable for being a fierce general who charges into battle.

"Okay, hurry up and eat something, rest for a night, and continue on the road tomorrow."

There are simple tents and fur coats on the horseback, so the two can take turns to rest at night.

The next morning, the two simply packed their bags and continued on their way. Near dusk, they approached the border of Houjin.

Just then, Lu Cheng stopped and called out, "Ding Xiu, let's do a big job tonight and then go back."

"Uncle Master, do you mean we should find a tribe to rob?"

"Not bad, how about it? Do you dare?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Follow Uncle Master, even if it's a sea of ​​fire and swords, we dare to go."

"Okay, when I came here, I found that there was a small tribe five miles away in the southeast, estimated to be less than 500 at most, and there should be less than 100 cavalry. We sneak in tonight and kill people and set fire."

"Okay!"

After eating and drinking, the two found a place to rest for a few hours. After it was completely dark, the two sneaked to the vicinity of the tribe.

This small tribe of the Later Jin Dynasty is equivalent to a village in the Ming Dynasty. However, the Later Jin Dynasty lived in a bitter and cold place, and the children of the Eight Banners were more fierce. As long as they were adults, they could serve as soldiers and fight.

Although it was just a small village, it was difficult for Lu Cheng and Ding Xiu to kill all the people in the village.

Therefore, the two of them directly found the largest tents in the village, threw a cloud of smoke into each tent, and then waited for a moment, rushed into one of the big tents, and quickly packed up the valuables.

After collecting the things, they threw a bomb pack into each tent, and the two hurriedly left, came to the outside of the tribe, rode on war horses, and headed towards Liaoyang.

The two had just run a short distance, and the bomb packs behind them exploded one after another, sending one tent after another into the sky, and the whole tribe was completely in chaos.

When the two ran a few miles, they heard some vague sounds of chasing from behind.

The two ran for more than ten miles, and when they passed a narrow mountain road on the way, they stopped running and turned around to wait for the enemy to approach.

This mountain road can only accommodate two or three horses walking side by side at the same time. No matter how many enemies there are, they can't do anything here.

Soon, more than 40 cavalrymen caught up with them from behind.

Lu Cheng drew his bow and arrows, and shot arrows one after another, killing five or six Houjin cavalrymen in succession, and those cavalrymen began to fight back.

Now Lu Cheng, if he sits on the horse and does not move, the accuracy of the bow and arrow is still very high.

Seeing the enemy's bows and arrows coming, the two jumped off their horses and ran towards the enemy from the hillsides on both sides.

Dozens of cavalrymen squeezed on the mountain road and lined up in two rows. Lu Cheng and Ding Xiu only had to face two or three enemies at the same time, which was easy to deal with.

The Houjin cavalrymen behind found something wrong and jumped off their horses and surrounded them.

However, when the cavalrymen behind caught up, Lu Cheng and Ding Xiu had killed seven or eight Houjin cavalrymen in total.

In terms of infantry fighting, Lu Cheng and Ding Xiu were obviously better at it. Dealing with these Later Jin Tartars was like cutting melons and vegetables. The Tartars fell one after another, and more than half of them were killed or injured in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining Tartars turned around, rode on their war horses, and turned to flee.

Lu Cheng and Ding Xiu chased for a distance and killed two or three people before stopping the pursuit.

The previous explosion sounded far away. Other tribes near that tribe were likely to come to support, and more Later Jin cavalry would chase and kill at any time.

Therefore, Lu Cheng and Ding Xiu stopped while they were ahead, hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield, collected the weapons and supplies that could be used, hung them on the horses, and drove more than 20 war horses towards Liaoyang.

Not long after leaving the territory of the Later Jin, the cavalry squad arranged by Lu Cheng in advance appeared in front of them, and the group quickly rushed to the south of Liaoyang City, Lu Cheng's base...
