Chapter 190: Sneak Attack on Desheng Lake

"Bang! Bang!" The crisp sound of a whip whipped mercilessly on several people.

Nasuladin looked at the subordinates who were already furious, and his eyes showed a trace of despair: "Let you guys go to investigate with Baotong. Are you back? Where are Baotong?"

"Sir Baotong, we really can't find it!" said a soldier.

"Ba! Ba!" Nasuladin took the whip himself and whipped the soldier who had just spoken: "What should a team of soldiers, if the commander disappears, what should the whole team of soldiers?"

"All soldiers must be executed!" Mongolia's military discipline was extremely strict. In this case, the death period of these soldiers was coming.

Nasuladin regretted it very much. He had only three sons, two of whom had died in the murder port. His eldest son had always wanted to take revenge. Last time he underestimated the enemy. This time, he went to investigate the enemy situation first. As a result, he investigated the enemy situation and encountered heavy rain. His eldest son was washed away by the waves... For a person who couldn't water, what it meant to be washed away by the flood? I'm afraid Nasuladin also knew very well. He sent many people to find it, just hoping to find his son's body.

If the son is really dead, these soldiers must be buried with them! The rescue is not effective and the general is in trouble. Some of these people are not enough to cut their heads! They actually have the courage to come back!

After dawn, these people still couldn't find Baotong. In desperation, they had to send a few people back to report the news, and then search for the rest.

However, when I sent someone to search, I found that even the remaining people could not be found. Maybe they were afraid of punishment and ran away. Unexpectedly, deserters would appear under my command! This is an unknown signal.

Nasuladin was full of anger, and his whip was even harder. The soldiers were already thrusting out of breath and became completely whip corpses.

"Abu, Abu..." Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the military camp.

"Bao Tong!" Nasuladin turned his head in surprise. Isn't the heroic and erect man his son? Unconsciously, his old eyes were already a little wet.

Baotong's complexion was a little weak, and there was a blue mark on her forehead. She was walking quickly in the clothes of a farmer.

"Bao Tong! You are not..." The pain of losing your son made Nasuladin aging suddenly. Now, seeing his son standing in front of him, he became full of vitality again.

"Abu, these soldiers..." Baotong asked, looking at the soldiers who had been whipped to death by a whip on the ground.

"It's okay. As long as you come back, Abu will be relieved. People come and carry out their bodies for burial and give their families a pension!" Nasuladin looked at his son: "Baotong, Abu is worried about you so much. Haven't you been washed away by the flood?"

"Abu, I don't know what's going on. After the flood came, I hugged the logs and floated in the flood, gradually losing consciousness. When I woke up, I had already reached the shore. Before dawn, I was soaked all over, so I had to go to the home of the farmer next to me and put on a set of clothes."

"That farmer?"

"Don't worry, Abu, I have solved it. This time I found a big secret. We must immediately prepare to send troops and kill them off guard." Baotong said anxiously.

When he got ashore, he was thinking about how to come back. There was a family on the side of the road. He went in in the dark, killed the farmer's family of three while sleeping, peeled off the farmers' clothes, put them on. He searched for some food at the farmers' house, rushed back overnight, and just passed by the person who was looking for him.

When he heard Baotong say that he was caught off guard, Nasuladin immediately became moved. These days, he was always thinking about killing him back, but the opponent's musket was too powerful, and he had not thought of how to deal with it.

"Let's go in and talk in detail." Nasuladin and Baotong walked into the room.

"Abu, I found out that their firearm was made in Desheng Lake." Baotong didn't have time to sit down and saw that there was no one around, so he said to Nasuladin.

Firearm! Hearing these two words, Nasuladin couldn't help but feel excited. The last time he failed was because the opponent's firearm was too powerful. Even the army of Dadu and the most elite equipment, Qiexue, probably did not have such powerful firepower.

The opponent's firearm was the thorn in Nasuladin's heart. Now, Baotong actually found the place where the enemy's firearm was made. He immediately thought that if this place was destroyed or taken for himself, then what a great harvest would be, which was far more important than regaining the salt field.

"Abu, as long as we take down their base, we will no longer have to be afraid of the other party's muskets, because even the gunpowder used by their muskets was made from there." Baotong said.

Nasuladin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's it, Baotong, you have worked hard to find out such an important military information this time. Abu is so happy."

"Abu, the child must avenge his two younger brothers! After defeating each other's base, we will take down the salt field. Tang He and Zhang Shicheng will arrest them all and use their heads to pay tribute to the two younger brothers!"

Thinking of Hailudin and Xishan Donkey, Nasuladin felt another severe pain in his heart: Yes, this revenge must be avenged!

"Abu, the child has observed that the Desheng Lake is surrounded by dense reeds, so although the opponent's musket has a long range, it poses no threat to us. In the reeds, every 100 steps, it is a curve. In such a place, we are able to shoot with the opponent, and we will never be able to get beaten and fight back last time." After thinking about it, Baotong said that the terrain was beneficial to him. Of course, he did not think that the reeds would be a maze, a maze that ordinary people could not get out of.

Nasuladin was very happy. After he came back, he thought about this crushing defeat for a long time. It was not that he had become weaker, but that his opponent was too strong and was attacked by the opponent at a distance of 300 steps. None of his weapons could be projected so far, and he was only beaten and could not fight back. This was not called a war at all, and he was simply abused. The terrain of the Killing Port is too wide. Although it is suitable for cavalry charges, it is more suitable for being massacred by the opponent. When fighting again next time, you must not be like this time.

Now, Baotong has given him a satisfactory answer: in that reeds, there is an opponent's firearm manufacturing base, and the reeds are winding and twisting, and the opponent's long-range firearms cannot be used at all. On the contrary, his archers can show off their skills and will not have one-sided battles again.

Thinking that he could finally kill his opponent, Nasuladin showed a hideous smile on his face.

"Bao Tong!"

"Yes, Abu."

"Click the eight hundred archers under our command, we will take a boat to Desheng Lake from Gaoyou Lake!" Nasuladin finally made up his mind.

"Abu, will that Li Qi intervene?" Baotong asked.

The last time, the five hundred cavalry were completely lost, and there were only 1,500 soldiers defending Gaoyou. This time, eight hundred were taken away, and only 700 were left. Li Qi should be very annoyed.

"No matter how high his official position is, he is only a Han man, and he dare not have any objection." Nasuladin said, "After an hour, set off!"

Gaoyou Lake to the west of Gaoyou Mansion is the largest lake in Gaoyou. The lake water area accounts for about one-fifth of the entire Gaoyou. It even reaches the boundary of Anfeng Road to the north and extends into Yangzhou Road to the south.

Compared with Gaoyou Lake, Desheng Lake can only be regarded as a small pool.

Relying on Gaoyou Lake, there are many fishermen who fish. They have no land and do not need to cultivate. Some don’t even have houses. They use fishing boats as their homes, fishing during the day, and at night, they turn the fishing boats to the shore and sleep on the boat.

In the evening of that day, the fishermen returned to the shore and set fire to prepare for cooking. Their main food was the fish they caught.

Suddenly, a large number of officers and soldiers rushed over from the shore. They pointed at the fishermen with bows and arrows. A small leader shouted among the officers and soldiers: "Your fishing boats have been requisitioned. Two boatmen are left on each fishing boat, and the rest will go ashore immediately, otherwise they will be killed without any worries!"

"As a fisherman, you have to be bullied these days, and you really can't live this day." A fisherman complained.

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow flew over with a "swoosh!"

He felt a sudden sharp pain in his body. When he looked again, only the feathers were exposed in his chest. The distance was too close and the arrow had penetrated his chest.

"Ah!" He screamed in pain and fell to the bow of the ship.

The fishermen around were shocked. This group of officers and soldiers were too cruel! They just said a word and were killed. However, although they were fishermen, most of them had heard of the cruelty of these Tartars. If one is careless, I am afraid that none of the people present will survive.

"Zhuzi's father,Zhuzi's father, what's wrong with you?" A woman ran from the back cabin and saw her man lying on the bow of the boat. She immediately took two steps at once and ran to the man. When she looked again, she was already full of eyes and died.

"Zhuzi's father!" The woman burst into tears.

"I was so embarrassed that I was noisy, otherwise I would not be lonely even if I even sent you to the West and accompany him." The little leader shouted.

The woman immediately stopped crying and looked at the officers and soldiers on the shore and understood.

My own men die at their hands, but I have no armed forces, should I fight with them?

The silence around him is as dead as death.

"Hurry up, leave two boatmen on each boat, and the rest should be rolled onto me immediately, otherwise they will be executed!" The little leader was impatient, wouldn't he just requisitioned a few boats? Why is it so troublesome? If he hadn't been able to drive the boat, all of these people would have been killed.

"Mr. Jun. Can I carry my body for me?" the woman asked.

"Okay!" The little leader got on the boat, kicked the body out of the water with one kick.

"Is this OK?" asked the little leader.

The woman didn't speak, but her eyes were filled with coldness.

Seeing this on the other boats, the fishermen quickly let their relatives get off the boat, leaving only two people to fuck the boat.

Suddenly, a large group of people came from afar on the back shore.

There was a commotion among the fishermen.

"Everyone goes to the back cabin and prepare to drive the ship!" the little leader shouted.

The officers and soldiers who came just now had already boarded a boat and checked the situation on the boat. It was just an ordinary fishing boat. Some fish that had just been caught were placed in the front cabin, and the back cabin was a place for sleeping and cooking.

The people and horses in the distance were getting closer and closer. Looking at the skillful horse-control posture, you will know that it was the cavalry of the Tartars.

The generals led by the leader were even more energetic, riding a maroon-red war horse, with the cloak floating in the wind, holding the horse's reins in both hands, and quickly ran towards the shore.

"Sir!" The little leader quickly got ashore: "As you ordered, dozens of fishing boats have been requisitioned, enough for our people to use."

"Okay, good job!" Baotong jumped off the horse, "Your people, stay here to guard the horses, waiting for us to come back."

"Sir, can you bring a villain with me this time? The villain is willing to play a striker for me?" said the little leader with a flattering smile.

"Okay, get on the boat." Baotong said.

Suddenly, there was another sound of horse hooves behind.

Nasuladin is here too.

"Abu, let the child go this time!" said Baotong.

"No, I will knock down that place myself, otherwise I will be unable to sleep or eat." Nasuladin said.

Baotong originally wanted to lead the team himself and leave Abu to guard Gaoyou, so that Li Qi would not be too ugly. However, Nasulading was worried, and he felt uneasy. This time, he must come with Baotong to build a base for the rebels, and he was unwilling to lose Baotong's whereabouts again.

All the cavalry were underneath, and they were not wearing armor. Without the war horses, the armor seemed too heavy. When fighting on the water, flexibility was even more important. They were all archers who were all shot at every turn. Moreover, there was another advantage, that is, they were not seasick. In a team of 1,500 people, there was only so many more than 700 people who met the requirements, so they had to bring all of these people. As for those who could swim, there were only three or five people with good water properties, and not one of them.

The little leader watched the group of people boarding the boat, and he also jumped on the boat just now. The woman, who was still pretty, had to have a long way to go from Gaoyou Lake to Desheng Lake, so he could take advantage of it.

If you ride a horse and arrive at Desheng Lake and rent a boat, Baotong will be afraid of alerting the enemy, so he simply rented a boat directly in Gaoyou Lake, pretended to be a fisherman, and went down the waterway to Desheng Lake. Anyway, they were going down the river. Although these small fishing boats were rowing, they would not be too slow. Moreover, in the winding reed marsh, the boat was small and easy to turn around and flexible, and used to attack the other party's base was simply ideal.

Moreover, now we have arrived at Desheng Lake, and it happens to be night. At night, it is simply ideal to attack the opponent's base. If it goes well, you won't encounter too strong resistance and you will be able to capture it.

Although, facts have proved that Baotong and Nasuladin's idea was too optimistic, and they had no experience in fighting on the water at all. The imperial navy was at most responsible for the smooth flow of a canal and fighting on the water, which was completely different from the land in many aspects. For example, if you touch the reed marsh in the middle of the night, it would be a death sentence.

The fleet set sail, dozens of fishing boats sailed towards the river to the east.

"Little lady, look at you, you have never enjoyed the blessing of a day with that dead ghost. Why not follow me?"

There were only thirty soldiers on one of the small boats. The little leader sneaked into the back cabin and said to the woman who was rowing.

Although she is a woman, she has been training her hands and feet long after she is fishing on the lake. I really don’t know how this little leader can make such a good bite.

"Sir, please respect yourself. Let's talk about everything when you come back." The woman said.

"Okay, then let's come back." The little leader heard her calling her "Master" and was happy and stopped beating each other. If Lord Baotong found out and missed the water journey, I'm afraid Lord Baotong would not let him go.
