Chapter 179 Tan Tai's Difficult Choice

Du Yonghe sat on the horse, holding a horse whip in his hand, and looked at Nikan with a complacent look as if he was a winner.

That is the condescending pride of the winner over the loser.

After hearing Nikan's words, Du Yonghe smiled at the sky: "Hahaha..., hahaha..."

After laughing, Du Yonghe said contemptuously: "Nikan, are you a hero? Real heroes love soldiers as much as their sons, but what about you, for your own life, you have sacrificed your lives for you to thunder. You are so selfish and treat your life as a soldier as a mustard. What kind of face do you have to be a hero in front of me?! I bah!"

He spitted heavily in front of Nikan.

"You! Du Yonghe, I came from the noble Aisin Gioro family and was a royal relative. You can kill and not be humiliated!" Nikan said angrily.

"Hahaha... Nikan, defeat means defeat, don't look down on people. The noble Aisin Gioro family? They are royal relatives and nobles? Nothing! Just a group of wild boar skins." Du Yonghe said disdainfully.

"Du Yonghe, I want to kill you!"

The humiliating and proud family, Nikan was furious, his eyes widened, and struggled to fight Du Yonghe.

"Hmph, idiot!" Du Yonghe snorted from his nostrils, cursed, and signaled to the personal soldiers. The personal soldiers used a scabbard to shoot Nikan's back of his head, slapped Nikan to the ground.

...

Because Duld saw the opportunity quickly, he did not make unnecessary resistance. Except for the first wave of attacks of the Ming army, his 10,000 soldiers were killed and injured by 2,000 soldiers, all of whom were imitating him and surrendered on the ground, so there was basically no injury.

The soldiers led by Nikan and Zhao Butai were not one out of ten, and only more than a thousand were left alive, and they also lost the general Kutsi.

Li Chengdong ordered people to gather the surrendered soldiers together and ordered Meng Wenjie and Sun Zhongming to quickly reorganize the army and ambush them again to Jianshan and Lianhua Mountain, preparing to attack Tan Tai's ambush.

"Report! Grand Marshal, Tan Tai did not send troops and was still ambushing in Longhu Mountain."

Just as he was about to stop working, a scout rushed over to report.

"Don't send troops? Do you really want to save me if you die?" Li Chengdong was stunned when he heard the news.

After all, Nikan is the prince. How dare Tan Tai not rescue him? This is a surprise.

Li Chengdong's plan was to fight Nikan and then fight Tan Tai, but he didn't expect Tan Tai to stop moving.

This disrupted his plan.

"Du Yonghe ambushed in Jianshan. Sun Zhongming gathered his prisoners and retreated to Dashiling. Meng Wenjie led his troops to Longhu Mountain to fight. If Tan Tai went down the mountain, he would immediately pretend to be defeated and retreated to Jianshan. It would be your best result to lure the Qing soldiers here." Faced with this change, Li Chengdong did not hesitate too much and immediately responded.

"Yeah!"

Meng Wenjie, Sun Zhongming, and Du Yonghe bowed to accept the order.

"Brother Jiemei, send a signal to Chen Xian. When Wenjie arrives, launch an attack immediately." Li Chengdong said to Yuan Pengnian again.

"As for the order!" Yuan Pengnian bowed to answer the order.

Chen Xian was originally a Qianhu under Du Yonghe. Because of his contributions in the Battle of Chongyangxi, he was promoted to a guerrilla general by Li Chengdong.

During the Battle of Tiger Stone Mountain, Li Yong's mountain army shone brightly. Li Chengdong became very interested in the special combat troops of the mountain army, so he followed suit and ordered Chen Xian to form the right-wing mountain army, recruited 3,000 strong men, and borrowed ten instructors from Li Yong's army to train the mountain army.

After more than a year of rigorous training, Chen Xian has learned the essence of the mountain army, and his tactical skills and combat effectiveness are no less than Li Yong's mountain army.

In this battle, Li Chengdong sent the mountain army out early. The mountain army did not walk on the avenue, but went south from Jianshan Mountain, through the high mountain jungle, and ambushed from the back, preparing to give him a fatal blow from behind when Tan Tai's entire army came to rescue Nikan.

Since Tan Tai is not fooled, then drive him out.

There are not many three thousand soldiers in the mountain army, but they are all for ten. In addition, firearms such as grenades and landmines, they are condescending and unexpectedly, and they will definitely drive Tan Tai's 50,000 soldiers down from Longhu Mountain.

...

Tan Tai on Longhu Mountain, after learning that Nikan was ambushed, resisted the idea of ​​going down the mountain to rescue him.

He knew the power of Ming's arms.

The war of besieging Ganzhou the previous year was finally turned over by Zhang Jiayu because of this kind of weapon.

He knew very well that if the Qing soldiers left the right place and faced the Ming army, they would have basically no chance of winning.

So, after learning that Nikan was ambushed, he opened his mind and his thoughts changed sharply.

"Li Chengdong ambushed Prince Jingjin, and he must have known that he was chasing him behind his back. So why did he choose near Jianshan? Why didn't he deal with the Prince Jingjin early? Do you want to use Prince Jingjin as bait to catch me, a big fish?"

"If this inference is true, then there is only one possibility, that is, I set up an ambush in Longhu Mountain, and Li Chengdong had known it for a long time. It was impossible. When he set off, I was already waiting for him in Longhu Mountain. It was impossible for him to know such a confidential matter early."

"How did he know that Prince Jingjin followed him sixty miles away? Even if he released the scout, he would not be able to go so far. In this way, whether it was Prince Jingjin's abandoned city pursuit or my ambush on Longhu Mountain, Li Chengdong had expected it? How did he know such a confidential matter?"

Tan Tai thought it hurt so much that his brain hurt, but he didn't even think of why. He always felt that Nikan was ambushed very mysterious and not as simple as it seemed.

"Sir, what should I do? Or not to save me? If I don't send troops, I'm afraid it will be too late." Lin Xi, the commander of the Han Army Banner Guard, asked anxiously.

"Sir, you have to send troops. If the prince makes a mistake, we can't afford it." Deputy General IELTSha urged.

"Save? You can't go down the mountain before you understand Li Chengdong's motive." Tan Tai said.

"Motivation? Sir, what kind of motivation can Li Chengdong have? It must be that the prince was not careful in his behavior and was noticed by Li Chengdong's scout." IELTS Ha said.

"Li Chengdong doesn't fight early or late, why ambush the prince less than twenty miles away from my ambush? How do you know that Li Chengdong's real purpose is not to eat us?" Tan Tai asked back.

"Eat us? Sir, it's impossible. He won't know that we are ambushing here. He can't get such confidential information." IELTS Ha said.

"It is not impossible, unless... when he raised his army, he had already expected that we would ambush somewhere in front of him. There was no other possibility." Lin Xi said in contemplation.

"You mean, is the information we have received... fake? Li Chengdong's army is coming from the west, is he using the prince?" Tan Taide Lin Xi reminded him, and a flash of inspiration in his mind, and it seemed that this possibility was really possible.

Only in this way can all this be explained.

"Sir, no matter what, you must send troops. Even if you are defeated, you must send troops. Otherwise, Prince Zheng and the court will definitely punish us for not saving us. Sir, Prince Jingjin is not an ordinary general after all." Yasiha said anxiously.
