Chapter three hundred and sixteen timely rain(1/2)
Zhang Nai stared at the pieced together letters, and various expressions kept flashing on his face, both excited and nervous. After three days of hard fighting, he suffered losses and lost his troops, but he still had no achievements and had already made a fuss in his heart.
At this time, a chance came by accident. How could Zhang Nai not be ecstatic? What he was most worried about was that the Ming army in the city realized something was wrong and refused voluntarily. Then all the dreams were over.
"Sir, I've sent me books back and forth in the city!"
"Quick, take it!"
Zhang Nai snatched the letter from his subordinates, which clearly stated that from the sun coming tomorrow until the sun sets, the soldiers on the city will not attack them and let them clean up the bodies. Later, he boasted about the favor of the Celestial Empire, and the barbarian clown should be grateful and repent early.
"Stupid pig!" After reading the letter, Zhang Nai gently spitted out these two words.
"Come here, select three thousand elite soldiers for me to wait for the orders. Tomorrow is our god-given opportunity to break Xuzhou!"
The Tatar military camp quickly mobilized, and Zhang Nai was planning his own plan intently. He was so excited that he didn't sleep. Before dawn, Zhang Nai was wearing panda eyes and dressed neatly.
"Sir, it's better to be cautious in accordance with the villain's opinion!"
The person who spoke was Yao Guangzhen. He was a minor official and was versatile in his work. Zhang Nai took him as a counselor and had been with him for five or six years. He could be said to be obedient.
"Mr. Yao, what do you mean?"
Yao Guangzhen laughed and said, "Sir, this is indeed an opportunity. But I thought the Ming army would definitely take strict precautions and rashly attack. It may not be successful. We should eliminate their vigilance first. One day, you can arrange it calmly."
"Mr. Yao, what do you think?"
"We might as well collect the body first and take the opportunity to check the truth and reality. When the Ming army's guards are relaxed, you will take over Xuzhou in person. This is a great contribution. As long as the Regent is happy, he will definitely be promoted. At that time, we can also follow the family and dog to heaven!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Yao, you are really my living Zhuge. Just do what you said!"
...
In the blink of an eye, the sky was bright. In the morning light, teams of Tartar men were carrying hooks and pliers on their shoulders, and pushing vehicles, filled with straw mats.
At this time, dozens of soldiers from the Anguo Army were guarding the city. When they saw that they were all ordinary civilians, they let them go. The people thanked them very much. They went to the battlefield between their chest walls and hooked up corpses with hooks and placed them on a wheelbarrow.
Some generals even had to roll up their bodies with mats. As for ordinary soldiers, they threw them onto the car like rag bags. After loading two or three corpses with wheelbarrows, they had to be transported back.
There were busy figures everywhere on the battlefield, and gradually the weather became hotter. The sun was scorching, and the stench on the battlefield was spreading faster and faster.
Especially when most of the complete corpses are cleaned up, the remaining scattered corpses are even more troublesome.
A civilian opened a corpse with a hook. His forehead was gone, and a ball of maggots fell out of his head, and kept wriggling, and the smell was pungent. Even if he didn't have intensive phobia, his scalp was numb and his whole body was trembling after seeing it. The civilian simply hid on the side, vomiting loudly, and wishing he could spit out all the bile.
There are more corpses on the entire battlefield than this one. Every step you take is to beware of maggots under your feet, and the broken corpses and rotten meat are everywhere.
After the Tartars' Min Zhuang moved a few corpses, they vomited a lot, and even if they were beaten to death, they would not come. Zhang Nai had to keep replacing people and replace them.
It was almost noon, and Wu Huanju, who was in charge of inspecting the city, could not bear it anymore. He said to the Tartar people who arrived, "You all listen. You are only allowed to collect the bodies and not do anything else. There are people staring at the city. If you dare to look around and smash your heads, you will be the same as them!"
After saying that, Wu Huanju and his subordinates fled in a hurry and returned to Xiguan. Only the Tartars men were left on the battlefield outside the city.
Zhang Nai looked at him secretly from a distance and immediately smiled proudly: "Mr. Yao, it's almost done now!"
"Slow down!" Yao Guangzhen laughed and said, "Sir, there are still many Ming troops on the top of the city. Don't worry. Let's get closer to the top of the city little by little to dispel the Ming army's vigilance!"
Zhang Nai suppressed his restlessness again. His men took away the whole body, put the scattered rotten meat in his pocket, filled a bag, and then moved it back immediately.
Gradually they approached the city, and the distance between the two sides was only one hundred steps. If An Guojun was willing, they could shoot these civilians with guns at any time. They were all trembling with fear, fearing that they would become targets.
But what surprised them was that An Guojun did not do this, but was particularly polite. Some people greeted them on the top of the city wall and chatted without a word.
Some people even tied bamboo baskets with ropes, which contained cool well water.
"Everyone, let's drink some, you can move the body away, we will suffer less!"
At first, the people below didn't dare to drink it, but gradually some people couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help drinking it, gurgling, drinking all of them.
"Thank you brothers at the city!"
"Hey, everyone obeys the orders the same. Except for us in the city, you are outside the city, we are nothing different!"
"Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, too!"
"You guys clean up slowly, we'll have a rest first."
...
As the two sides chatted, the soldiers on the city wall seemed to relax and went to rest one after another. In the evening, almost half of the soldiers on the city wall were missing.
"Sir, if you write a letter to the city, you will say that there are still many corpses left and ready to clean them up overnight. It tastes small at night and is easy to get alive. Please allow them!"
Zhang Nai patted his thighs proudly and smiled: "Mr. Yao, it's better to raid at night. Your idea is great!"
After the letter was delivered, half an hour later, a reply was finally sent to the city wall and agreed to the request. Zhang Nai couldn't help laughing wildly. His plan had been mostly successful.
He continued to let the people and strong clean up honestly without revealing flaws. Then he personally led the three thousand elite soldiers, pretending to be civilians, and quietly approached the city.
At the middle of the night, just when they were most tired, they finally bypassed the layers of chest walls and came to the bottom of Xiguan.
At this time, Zhang Nai could no longer hide the ecstasy in his heart. He swung his fist suddenly. Suddenly, some soldiers jumped into the moat and waded over.
"Hey, why did you collect the body and get to the city? Get out of here!"
"Brothers in the city, there are corpses in the moat, you can be assured!"
The group of people said, constantly moving, quickly crossed the moat. They rushed directly to the suspension bridge, cut off the rope, and the suspension bridge rumbled down.
There were also many soldiers pushing carts behind Zhang Nai. Their cars were filled with sand and soil. In an instant, all the sand and soil fell into the moat. The army stepped on the sand and rushed to the bottom of the city.
"Hahaha, God is really helping me!" Zhang Nai shouted: "Hurry up, break open the city gate."
Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers carried logs as thick as basin and crashed towards the city gate.
Bang.bang,bang!
Hurry!
The city gate fell down. Zhang Nai took the lead and rushed into the city. This was even more so for his subordinates. No one could have thought that victory would be so easy!
"Kill, rush, don't let Minggou go!"
All of these Tartars were jealous and trembling all over. After ten years of hard love, the goddess finally smiled. The good thing about the iron tree blooming, the rooster laying eggs, and the pie falling from the sky finally fell on their heads.
Zhang Nai's mood was indescribable, but when he rushed out of the city gate, he looked up and his whole body was cold, and in an instant, his blood solidified.
Just in front of him, within two hundred meters of the city gate, was a circle of cement chest walls. Behind the chest wall, torches one by one. Under the fire, there were soldiers of the Anguo Army. They were holding black muskets in their hands, and the muzzles were aimed at them.
Being fooled!
After working hard all day, I tried all kinds of thoughts, thinking that An Guojun was played with applause by him, but when the answer was revealed, I suddenly realized that it was him who was deceived!
All the hard work was wasted, and a chill came from Zhang Nai's neck.
"Ah, hurry..."
Before the word "run" was shouted out, all the muskets rang out, and dense bullets rushed towards them. On the top of the city, countless grenades suddenly surged out, holding grenades in their hands, smashing them mercilessly like hail, blocking all the roads out of the city.
Bullets and shrapnel bloomed in the crowd, almost nothing was lost. Tartars were constantly attacked to the end and turned into corpses with unwillingness.
Zhang Nai rushed out desperately. As soon as he turned around, his whole body trembled and a bullet hit his shoulder. The powerful force suddenly knocked him to the ground, with blood and blood on his shoulders.
"Hurry, save me!"
Zhang Nai shouted desperately to his subordinates, and finally two subordinates rushed over. The two men arrived in front of Zhang Nai. Suddenly one of them gritted his teeth and waved his hand toward Zhang Nai.
Just as Zhang Nai's disbelief looked, a cold blade slashed across his neck and the head splashed out. The two guys grabbed the head and knelt on the ground.
"The villain killed the big traitor Zhang Nai and asked the heavenly soldiers to give him a way out!"
These two guys shouted desperately, and Zhou Yingjie also noticed them and immediately sneered: "It's really worth betraying our ancestors and being betrayed by our own people!"
"Don't be polite, kill all the traitors!"
With a command, the gunshots became even more intense, and Zhang Nai brought in people and horses and almost died or injured. At this time, a sound of horse hooves rushed from behind An Guojun, and Li Guodong ran in the front.
"Captain Zhou, let us leave the rest, and keep a Tartar without leaving behind!"
They rushed out of the city gate like lightning. Zhang Nai had many subordinates. They knew that there was something wrong in the city, but they didn't know what was going on, so they were stunned. Suddenly, Li Guodong rushed out with his cavalry like a whirlwind.
"Hahaha, Zhang Nai's dog traitor is dead, you guys follow me too!"
A thunderbolt exploded in the middle of everything, and the people were suddenly lost. The leaders were all dead. What else could they do? They were so scared that they fled. Li Guodong waved a long-handled axe weighing dozens of kilograms in his hand and followed him.
"Go to die, grandchildren!"
With an axe, two heads flew up, and blood splattered on Lao Gao. Li Guodong was like a demon possessed by a demon. He kept swinging the axe back and forth, and was invincible.
The cavalry followed him and their morale was greatly boosted. They chased behind the defeated soldiers like a group of small tigers and rushed directly to the Tartar camp.
Originally, a good sneak attack battle had instantly exchanged identities, and the Tartars enjoyed the taste of being attacked. Li Guodong and the others easily rushed into the camp, cutting melons and vegetables along the way, and wherever they passed, there were corpses on the ground.
There were also special soldiers who set fire to the back. The leaderless Tartars had no way to resist the sneak attack. In an instant, they were killed and fled in a panic, and the entire camp was ignited.
A sea of fire was seen far away, illuminating half of the night sky, which was spectacular!
As the maker of this plan, Wu Kaijie showed negligence step by step and lured Zhang Nai into being deceived. Now it worked in one fell swoop, and he was immediately overjoyed!
"Staff General Wu, Lord He asked you to go over and discuss military information."
When Wu Kaijie heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Come on, bring Zhang Nai's head, I'll go there now!"
Wu Kaijie turned over the horse, and his subordinates ran along the street with bloody heads, and came to the prefect's office. He walked in and saw that there were many military generals standing inside, some of whom were injured, with bandages tied with arms, and his face was covered with a sad wind and rain.
Huang Degong sat in front of him, his face was as deep as water. His arm was also injured by arrows and his face was dark. No one dared to look at him.
