686 A big surprise
The one who is resentful of this busy scene is Asno, the leader of the Ass tribe.
After complaining in my heart, I began to look for opportunities to inquire about the news he wanted.
It is impossible to talk directly with the Ming army, but the language is not understandable. However, there are people from Yunnan on the Ming army, and those who understand the dialect of the tribes in Dongwu are also the ones who are coming forward to communicate with the tribes of Dongwu.
Asno set his goal on a person who is in charge of food, and began to get close to it, stuff some agate, jade, etc., and say something about local specialties or valuable things. Never mind.
In addition to being loyal, the one who could be chosen by King Long to do this work was of course an eloquent person. After quickly getting closer, he asked about the food situation of the Ming army in a roundabout way, how long will the Ming army send supplies, how many people, etc.
These questions are kept confidential, and it is definitely not possible to ask them directly. Asno has thought of many ways to ask these questions indirectly in such a way that is not noticeable. It can be said that this question and communication is not known how long it took him to think hard to get.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off. At least Asno himself thought so. He really got a lot of news. After summarizing and speculating a little, he could get the answer he wanted, and then he left happily.
However, what Asno never expected was that when he left, the person he thought was a fool would be rebelled to a tent next door and reported to the people inside: "Asno really came to look for a villain, and the villain followed the instructions of the commander and had already told him."
The person in this camp was Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyiwei sent by Emperor Chongzhen to the Hou camp. At this time, he nodded and said that he knew.
At the same time, he was also very impressed. The emperor really saw that the leader of the As tribe had a problem. With this trick, he wanted to make Dongwu suffer a big loss again!
Haha, these barbarians also want to compete with the emperor. They are really overwhelming!
…………
The next day, Asno appeared in the city of Ava and personally reported to King Talong. In the hall, everyone else was driven out, and only Taitun, who was involved in the matter, was accompanied by Taitun.
Asno, when he saw King Talong, he complained in anger, saying that a certain tribe had given the Ming army how much food it had given to the Ming army, and how much food it had given to the Ming army...
He heard these news that King Long's face became very ugly. Later, he didn't want to listen anymore. If he continued to listen, he was afraid that he would vomit blood, so he interrupted Asno's report in anger: "Remember these things and remember them for Gu. If Gu defeats Ming Jun, he will definitely be able to settle the accounts. Gu wants you to do things, but is it done?"
Asno himself ran into the city, what should have gained? Therefore, King Talong had some hope in his heart.
Asno saw that King Talon was angry, he did not dare to say anything else, and quickly reported: "Trust the king to Hong Fu, the villain really found out. If it were the same as before, a large number of food and supplies would be delivered in three days. This is the last batch before the rainy season, and there are a lot of people. According to the previous practice, the Ming army should not exceed one thousand people, and the others are just civilians from Yunnan."
When he heard this, King Long couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, okay!"
The three good words "Single" can show how happy he is.
Without this news, it would be unrealistic to wait for the rabbit. Not only did I not know when the Ming army would arrive, nor did I return to the scale of the Ming army's grain protection, etc. If I took action to destroy the road in advance, the Ming army would definitely send people to build roads, so that they would not affect the transportation of food and supplies, and would also be strangled along the way. There were only so many traitors, and the ambush might be discovered.
Now that I know the general situation of the Ming army's transportation of food and supplies, I can start targeting it.
As for the number of Ming army protecting grain, it is already a bit too much compared to the total strength of the Ming army. As for the number of people transporting grain, the more food it consumes on the road. As for the road situation on Dongwu, the amount consumed on this road must not be underestimated.
After being happy for a while, King Talong immediately turned to look at Taitatun and said, "You have had experience in fighting with the Ming army, so you will be in command of this battle. They are now hiding in the valley below the highest peak of Meilu. Are you sure if you attack him by five thousand or one thousand, or are you surprised to attack him by surprise?"
The grain transport team is a long-lasting team. One thousand grain-protecting soldiers must take care of them in front and behind, and the troops will be even more scattered. It can be said that if they really ambushed, the war will be absolutely easy to fight.
Taeta Tun thought so in his heart. It can be said that this is a very easy military merit. What makes him even happier is that the ambush commander Mu Dali used to be the one who was overwhelmed by him and was still above him. But now, he actually has the opportunity to take over Mu Dali's command, which shows that he has surpassed Mu Dali in the mind of King Long!
Thinking of this, Taetae Tun couldn't help but be extremely excited, and he didn't even bother to amaze the King of Long hid the ambush army so deeply. He quickly patted his chest and expressed his willingness to issue a military order. If he failed, he would be successful!
…………
What they never expected was that this time, King Long finally told the place where the ambush was hiding, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel relieved. With such an ambush always hiding behind him, he felt as if he was on his back and was not at ease in sleep. Now that he already knew the place to hide, everything was easy to say.
Thinking of this, he immediately arranged and started a battle with King Talong again.
…………
In the past few days, although there have been no large-scale wars outside Awa City, small-scale wars have continued. Ming Dynasty has few soldiers, but they have been constantly coming to Dongwu's army outside the city to provoke. Computer terminal::/
The Dongwu army cannot do not fight, otherwise the morale will be lower. But if there are too many people in battle, a large-scale war will occur, which is strictly prohibited by King Long. Besides, they all saw the power of the Ming army and did not dare to trigger a big war, for fear of ending the Kunda tribe.
However, if there are fewer people, the number of people they go out will be thrown back by the Ming army. If you are lucky, you will flee back with panic on your face and dare not go out again if you beat them to death. You will bluntly say that the combat power of the Ming army's soldiers is too strong, and that more than a few of them is not enough to fight.
This is not possible, nor is it possible. The morale of the Donggo army, especially the Donggo army deployed outside the city, was lower than that of the day. Many tribes even retreated and wanted to withdraw their troops. Some tribes were even thinking, or they could surrender to the Ming Kingdom.
This will definitely not work. Most of the patriarchs of the tribes outside the city united and asked King Talong to take them to fight to the death with the Ming army. They believed that with King Talong's imperial guards as the main force, and their number was much higher than that of the Ming army, they would definitely win!
Of course, King Long would not agree to this request. If he could, he would have done so long ago.
Although he still has certain confidence in his own imperial guards, that is the capital for him to dominate Donggo and become Donggo king, and how could he easily lose money.
He could even imagine that if his Imperial Guards suffered heavy losses in this battle, even if they defeated the Ming army, the fruits of victory might have been picked by other tribes.
Before, if he hadn't seen the defeated soldiers of the Kunda tribe, there was a tendency to destroy all the troops outside the city, and if he hadn't seen the artillery of the Ming army not follow up, he wouldn't have sent his war elephant troops out of the city to fight the Ming army first.
However, now that morale is low, so many tribal patriarchs jointly demand that he should also take it with caution. In response, he decided to reveal some news and said to the people below: "Don't be impatient. Just wait for another five days, no, wait for another four days, and I will give you a great surprise."
Hearing this, the patriarchs of each tribe were a little surprised. Of course, they were not satisfied and just got such a sentence. Many people immediately started asking.
"My king, what surprises are there at this time?"
"Yes, if you can defeat the Ming army, it would be a surprise! But, can you defeat the Ming army in a few days?"
“…”
Faced with their doubts, to be honest, King Long was quite annoyed. If any tribe dared to be so rude to him before the war, believe it or not, he would destroy that tribe!
It is obvious that the Ming emperor's army was approaching and the war was not going well, which caused his prestige to be damaged. These people were not afraid of him anymore!
He suppressed his anger and secretly remembered the tribe leaders who questioned him the most fiercely. Then, he said lightly: "Everyone, have you seen Mu Dali?"
Mu Dali had vaguely over Taitai Tun before, and was the first beloved general of King Talong and the commander of King Talong's Imperial Guard.
But when he mentioned this, these patriarchs all came to their senses. That's right, why didn't the king see Mu Dali this time?
Before, they thought Mu Dali was left in the capital by King Talong, but at this time, he heard what King Talong meant, it seemed that he had another appointment?
There is no need to say too much about ambushing the Ming army. King Talong can only stop talking to them and continue to say to them: "Now Taitaitun and Mu Dali are both carrying out Gu's will. As long as they succeed, Gu can use this throne as a guarantee, and the Ming army will be defeated!"
Haha, if the Ming army is undefeated, can you still sit on the throne? Many people couldn't help but sneer in their hearts when they heard this.
But at least I got a guarantee from King Long that I would give them a big surprise. Unless I turned against King Long, I could only listen to King Long.
