Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 688 A Big Surprise
The one who resented this busy scene was Asno, the patriarch of the Asi clan.

After complaining in his heart, he began to look for opportunities to inquire about the news he wanted.

It is impossible to talk directly to the Ming army because of the language barrier.However, there are people from Yunnan on the side of the Ming army, who understand the dialects of various tribes on Dongwu's side, and it is they who come forward to communicate with the tribes of Dongwu.

Asno set his target on a person in charge of food, and began to get close, stuffing some agate, jade, jade, etc., talking about some local products, cheap things, don't pay attention to others.

To be chosen by King Long to do this job, apart from being loyal, he is of course eloquent.After quickly getting closer, they used a roundabout way to inquire about the food situation of the Ming army, how long it will take for the Ming army to send supplies, how many people there are, and so on.

These questions are confidential and it is definitely not acceptable to ask them directly.For this reason, Asno has thought of many ways, trying to ask these questions in an unobtrusive way.It can be said that this questioning and communication, I don't know how long it took him to think hard before he got the result.

The so-called hard work pays off, at least Asno himself thinks so.He really got a lot of information out of him, and after a little summarization and speculation, he could get the answer he wanted, and then he left happily.

However, what Asnuo never expected was that as soon as he left, the man he thought was a fool went to a tent next door and reported to the people inside: "As expected, Asnuo came to see Xiao People, small people, just follow the instructions and ask the adults to tell them, everything has been told to them."

The person in this camp is Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guards sent to the rear camp by Emperor Chongzhen.At this time, after listening, he nodded to show that he understood.

At the same time, he was also very impressed.The emperor really saw that there was something wrong with the patriarch of the Asi tribe, so he planned to do something wrong, and Dongwu would suffer a big loss again!

Hehe, even these barbarians want to wrestle with the emperor, they are really overbearing!

…………

The next day, Asno appeared in the city of Ava and personally reported to King Talong.In the main hall, everyone else was kicked out, only Tai Taitun who participated in this matter was accompanied.

When Asno saw him in the presence of King Long, he was filled with righteous indignation and sued first, saying how much food a certain tribe had sent to the Ming army, and how much food a certain tribe had sent to the Ming army...

Hearing these news, King Long's expression became very ugly.After hearing this, he didn't want to listen anymore. If he continued to listen, he was afraid that he would vomit blood, so he angrily interrupted Asnuo's report: "Write these down for Gu. After Gu defeated the Ming army, he will definitely settle the score." Yes. I asked you to do something, but it was done?"

Asno ran into the city himself, so there should be some gains.Therefore, King Long held a little hope in his heart.

When Asno saw that King Long was showing signs of anger, he dared not say anything else, and hurriedly told him: "Thank you for your blessings, the villain really found out. If it is the same as before, after three days from the Ming army, there will be There will be a large batch of food and supplies delivered. This is the last batch before the rainy season, and there are a lot of them. According to the previous practice, the guarding Ming army should not exceed 1000 people, and the rest are just civilians from Yunnan."

Upon hearing this, King Talong couldn't help but said with great joy: "Okay, okay, okay!"

Saying three good words in succession, one can tell how happy he is.

Without this news, it would be unrealistic to sit on the sidelines.Not only did he not know when the Ming army would arrive, but he also did not return to the scale of the Ming army's food protection and so on.If the road was destroyed in advance, the Ming army would definitely send people to build the road, so as not to affect the delivery of food, grass and materials, and would strangle them along the way.With so many traitors around, the ambush might be discovered.

Now that we know the general situation of the Ming army's food and grass supplies, we can start targeting them.

As for the number of Ming troops protecting food, it was already a bit too much compared to the total strength of the Ming army.The more people transporting food, the more food is consumed on the road.As far as the road conditions on the Dongwu side are concerned, the amount consumed on this road must not be underestimated.

After being happy for a while, King Thalong immediately turned to look at Tai Tai Tun and said: "You have experience fighting against the Ming army, so you will be the one to command this battle. They are now hiding in the valley under the highest peak of Mei Lat. .Five thousand against one thousand, or surprise and surprise, are you sure?"

The food transportation team is a very long team. A thousand food guard soldiers have to be taken care of before and after, and the troops are even more scattered.It can be said that if the ambush is really going to happen, the war will definitely be easy to fight.

That's what Tai Taitun thought in his heart. It can be said that this is a very easy military achievement.What made him even more happy was that Mu Dali, the commander of the ambush, had previously overwhelmed him and was still ranked 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 eyes of King Long!
Thinking of this, Tai Taitun couldn't help being extremely excited, and he didn't even bother to marvel at how deep King Long hid the ambush army, and quickly patted his chest, expressing his willingness to issue a military order, and he will be benevolent if he fails!
…………

What they never expected was that this time, King Talong finally revealed the hiding place of the ambush, which made Emperor Chongzhen heave a sigh of relief.There was such an ambush hiding behind him all the time, which made him feel like he was on his back, and he couldn't sleep well. Now that he knew the hiding place, everything was easy to say.

Thinking of this, he immediately arranged and deployed, and started a contest with King Long again.

…………

In the past few days, although there have been no large-scale battles outside Ava City, small-scale battles have continued.The Ming army was small in number, but they kept running to the Dongwu army outside the city to provoke.

For Dongwu's army, it is impossible not to fight, otherwise, the morale will definitely be lower.But if there are too many people in the battle, it will form a large-scale war, which is strictly forbidden by King Long.What's more, they all saw the strength of the Ming army, and they didn't dare to trigger a big war, for fear of ending up with the Kunda tribe.

However, if the number of people is small, how many heads will be thrown back by the Ming army if they go out; if they are lucky, they will all flee back with panic on their faces, and they will not dare to go out again if they are killed. The combat power of the army is too strong, and a few more of them are not enough to fight.

This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. The morale of the Dongwu army, especially the Dongwu army deployed outside the city, is dropping day by day.Many tribes even retreated, wanting to withdraw their troops, and even some tribes were thinking, or they would join the Ming Kingdom.

This is definitely not going to work, so most of the patriarchs of the tribes outside the city united and made a request to King Long, asking him to lead them to a decisive battle with the Ming army.They believe that with King Talong's imperial guards as the main force, and their number is much larger than that of the Ming army, they will definitely win!
Of course, King Talong would not agree to this request.If he could agree, he would have done so long ago.

Although he still has a certain amount of confidence in his own imperial guards, but that is where he has the capital to dominate Dongwu and become the king of Dongwu, so how can he easily lose money.

He could even imagine that if his imperial guards suffered heavy losses in this battle, even if he defeated the Ming army, the fruits of victory might be taken away by other tribes.

In the past, if he hadn't seen that the defeated soldiers of the Kunda tribe had a tendency to overwhelm all the troops outside the city, and if he hadn't seen that the Ming army's artillery hadn't followed up, he wouldn't have sent his war elephant troops out of the city to fight with the Ming army first. The army fought.

But now that the morale is low, so many tribe chiefs have jointly requested that he should treat it with caution.In this regard, he decided to reveal a little information, and said to the people below: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient. Just wait for five more days, no, wait for four more days, and Gu will give you a big surprise."

Hearing this, the patriarchs of all tribes were a little surprised.Of course, they would not be satisfied with just getting such a sentence, and many people immediately asked questions.

"My lord, at this time, what surprises are there?"

"Yes, it would be a surprise if we can defeat the Ming army! But, can we defeat the Ming army in a few days?"

"..."

Facing their doubts, to be honest, King Long was quite annoyed.If this was before the war, which tribe would dare to be so rude to him, believe it or not, he would have wiped out that tribe!

Obviously, the Ming Emperor's army was pressing down on the territory and the war was not going well, which damaged his prestige. These people were no longer afraid of him!
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he secretly remembered the few patriarchs who questioned him the most, and then he said indifferently: "Everyone, have you seen Mu Dali?"

Mu Dali had vaguely overwhelmed Tai Taitun before, he was King Long's number one confidant, and he was also the commander of King Long's Imperial Guard.

But when he mentioned this at this time, the patriarchs all came back to their senses.That's right, why didn't you see Mu Dali by the king's side this time?

In the past, they thought that Mu Dali was left in the capital by his King Long, but now, according to what King Long said, it seems that he has another appointment?
You can't talk too much about the ambush of the Ming army, and he can only stop at what King Long said, and continue to say to the patriarchs: "Now Tai Taitun and Mu Dali are carrying out an isolated will. As long as it succeeds, Gu can use this throne as a guarantee, and the Ming army will be defeated!"

Hehe, if the Ming army is undefeated, can you still sit on the throne?Many people could not help but sneer in their hearts after hearing this.

But at least he got a guarantee from King Long, which would give them a big surprise.Unless he turned against him, King Long, he could only listen to King Long.

After receiving such an answer, they could only grit their teeth and persevere, hoping that after four days, the big surprise that King Long said would really come true.
