Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 103 Entering the Village Quietly, Batman

Knowing that the three Princess Changping had completed their mission and had left Dabie Mountain, Li Cunming decided to personally lead the troops to surrender Li Guo.

He made a lot of noise, he practiced troops every day on the school grounds of Fengyang Mansion, shouts of killing could be heard several miles away, and there was an endless stream of troops transporting food, clearly he was preparing for a protracted war.

At the same time, a call to action was issued, claiming to capture the Dabie Mountains within one month and capture Li Guo alive.If you can't do it, you won't cross the river with Li Guo from now on, and let him go or stay as he pleases.

The spies sent by Li Guo brought back the information of Fengyang Mansion, and also brought a call to action.

After Li Guo watched it, he sneered and said to Zhang Huang: "Chongzhen wants to capture this general alive again, is he addicted? The last time he was in Ningling, it was his luck. This time is different, not to mention that I have 7 yuan in my hand." People and horses, just say that the Dabie Mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Can the Ming army take it down within a month? Our army is lacking in siege warfare, but we are not afraid of mountain forest warfare. Mud legs in the mountains are like dragons flying into the sea. Yu God!"

Zhang Huangyan was noncommittal and remained silent.

Li Guo laughed again: "This general is not a dead man, he can still escape if he can't defend himself, as long as it lasts for a month, what do I think Chongzhen has to say?"

Immediately issued a military order, made deployments, sent troops to guard the entrance and exit of the town, and deployed troops in dangerous places, showing a posture of strictly guarding against death.

According to Li Guo's analysis, the Ming army came to attack the Dabie Mountains this time, and it would be impossible to lose 5 people.The action of the army needs to be unified and coordinated, and the speed will not be too fast.

Moreover, the overall slope of the Dabie Mountains is steep and the mountain roads are rugged, making it more difficult to transport food and artillery.

Based on this calculation, if Chongzhen can lead troops into the mountains within half a month, he is considered capable!

Li Guo was ready to defend to the death, and secretly chose the escape route, thinking that he was safe, even if he could not defeat the Ming army, he would never let Chongzhen be captured alive again, so he was confident.

But Li Guo's thinking is still stuck in the previous misunderstanding, he underestimated the fighting power of the Ming army today, and also underestimated Li Cunming's ability!

On the third day after the call was issued, Li Cunming had already marched into the mountainous area of ​​Jinzhai County with [-] new troops.According to the spies' report and the marks on the map, it was only [-] kilometers away from Li Guo's stronghold.

The night is as cool as water, and the sound of pines is as angry as the tide.

The [-] new troops carried heavy military backpacks, flintlock guns on their shoulders, and knives in their hands, and marched across the mountains and ridges.They were extremely fast, but they kept quiet all the time, and the huge team was silent.

At dawn the party came to a hill, and the town in the valley was within reach.

Li Cunming made a gesture on the horseback, and the soldiers stopped immediately, squatting or lying down to hide.He jumped off the horse, held up the binoculars and looked at it for a while, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Qi Dazhuang, you lead 1 people to the west of the town, and when I launch an attack in the east, you rush out, let's attack from both ends!"

"Take orders!" Qi Dazhuang said.

Li Cunming added: "When you go down the mountain and approach the town, don't make any noise. Enter the village quietly, don't shoot anyone!"

The [-] new troops were divided into two teams and outflanked from east and west.The so-called Wangshan ran dead horses, when the army came down the mountain and came to the valley, it was already bright daylight, and the town was full of smoke.

Fortunately, the Ming army came too fast, and moved quickly and quietly. When the defenders found that the enemy was close in front of them, they had no time to react except for being stunned and shocked.

Soon, the defenders at the entrance and exit of the town surrendered.The new troops rushed in with guns fired, the sound of gunfire was dense, and the momentum was earth-shattering.

In less than half an hour, the Ming army captured the town and captured tens of thousands of people, but there was no sign of Li Guo.

Li Cunming came to the ancestral hall on a wooden cloth, and Zhang Huangyan greeted him, knelt down and said, "The guilty minister Zhang Huangyan has seen His Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"Zhang Huangyan, I didn't blame you for Li Zicheng's attack on the Huguang area, so you don't have to worry about it. Get up and talk, where did Li Guo go?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Huangyan stood up, pointing to a towering mountain peak and said, "Your Majesty, that is Tiantangzhai. Li Guo hid in the mountain forest early because he thought that our army had hot air balloons and could attack from the air. I have gone to the secret paradise village."

Tiantangzhai, the second highest peak of the Dabie Mountains, has a large area of ​​virgin forests, towering ancient trees, high waterfalls and swift streams.

Hiding in such a densely wooded and steep mountain can indeed reduce the air pressure caused by hot air balloons.It seems that Li Guo has learned a lot from a fall, and is very smart.

Li Cunming smiled and said, "Good job Li Guo, I appreciate you more and more!"

Zhang Huangyan said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Li Guo has already chosen his escape route, so beware of him jumping out of the Dabie Mountains."

Li Cunming nodded and gave the order: "Qi Dazhuang, immediately lead troops to surround Tiantangzhai. Surround him tightly, leaving Li Guo with nowhere to go. Hehe, boy, sooner or later you will be my man, where else can you escape? "

The army did not take any rest, and rushed to the foot of Tiantangzhai Mountain without stopping, and divided the troops to surround it.

Looking up to the mountain, through the dense forest, you can still see the camp of Li Guo's army.The camps are stacked from bottom to top, and the main roads are guarded everywhere. It is as difficult as climbing the sky to attack.

Zhang Huang said: "Your Majesty, Li Guo has made sufficient preparations. There are 6 horses on the mountain, and there is enough food and grass, enough for more than a month. He asked his ministers to tell His Majesty that he intends to stick to it for a month. If Your Majesty wants to attack, just attack. Don't let it go." He surrendered. After one month, if His Majesty has not caught him, please... Please keep your Majesty's word and retreat, and from then on, the well will not violate the river."

"Haha, of course I keep my word, but can Li Guo hold on for a month?" Li Cunming narrowed his eyes.

"Your Majesty uses soldiers like gods, it goes without saying. In fact, Li Guo understands righteousness and is a rare young general, but because of Li Zicheng's death, he can't get rid of his affection and can't get down the stairs. I have been with Li Guo for many days, and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. He, if His Majesty can convince him this time, he will definitely serve him faithfully, and our Ming Dynasty will have one more good general." Zhang Huang said.

Li Cunming said: "The reason why I came to Dabie Mountain in person is because I love talents. I not only want to give Li Guo a step down, but also give him a big sedan chair to sit in! Stop talking nonsense, and find me a place that is familiar with Tiantangzhai. Terrain villagers come."

Not long after, Zhang Huangyan brought an old man.Li Cunming exchanged some pleasantries and asked, "Old man, do you know if there is a secret path leading to the mountain?"

The old man said: "If you go back to the emperor, the old man was born and raised here and has lived here all his life. He also goes to the mountains to gather medicine and chop firewood on weekdays, but he seldom goes up to Tiantangzhai because the mountains are too high and steep, and there are beasts infesting them, so he doesn't know. What a secret path."

"But the old man knows a place. There is a cliff more than 200 meters high behind the Tiantaizhai Mountain. After climbing up, you can go down to the hinterland of the mountain. But there is a cave on the cliff with many vampire bats in it, which is very dangerous."

Li Cunming's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, today is the day to capture Li Guo alive!"

Zhang Huang said: "Your Majesty, do you want the soldiers to climb up the cliff and rush down? I am afraid that Li Guo will deploy troops near the cliff. How can he watch our soldiers climb up the cliff? In my opinion , it’s better to attack with a hot air balloon.”

"However, I did not bring a hot air balloon with me on this quick march, not to mention that the mountains are not conducive to hot air balloon operations. But I brought something more effective than a hot air balloon. Zhang Aiqing, just wait and see."

As Li Cunming said, he turned his head and shouted: "Zhu Yousong, it's time for you to make contributions! Come on, get ready, it's time for the Batman of the Ming Dynasty to make his debut!"
