Chapter 135 Night Attack on Gu'an (1)
The one hundred large supplies that the Mongolians had just robbed were actually specially made vehicles. The bottom plate at the bottom of the car had a mezzanine, but due to the visual effect, the Mongolians could not see it. There was an elite hidden in the mezzanine of each car.
If Li Laoer used this Trojan horse plan in front of Huang Taiji or Yue Tuo, it would be difficult to deceive them. Even Dorgon was not easy to deceive. However, the use of the plan was determined by people. For example, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Zhuge Liang ordered Guan Yu to ambush Huarong Road, he used the plan against Cao Cao's suspicious psychology.
The Mongolians were not like the Jurchens. The Mongolians of this era were mostly careless, unintentional, and not as sinister and vicious as the Jurchens. If the Mongolians were wolves, then the Jurchens were poisonous snakes hiding in the dark.
Li Laoer's plan did not arouse the suspicion of the Mongols at all. Zhuoliktu sent someone to drive the cart back to Gu'an City.
Hidden in a snowy place near Gu'an City, a figure dressed in white cloth quietly retreated from the snow and retreated into the woods. After that, the figure rode back and reported to Li Laoer and Cao Wenzhao who were hiding in the woods five miles away.
To keep it confidential, the Ming army did not set up camps, but all sat in the carriages. Each Ming army was covered with white cloth, even the war horses and sled carriages were covered with white cloth. Mongolian scouts and whistles passed by nearby, and it was difficult to find them.
"The Mongolian Tartars were indeed fooled! Then we will act according to the original plan! The entire army set off at night at Xu and rushed to ambush outside Gu'an City, waiting for the fireworks signal in the city!" Li Laoer said.
Cao Wenzhao nodded, turned around and ordered his servants to pass the order and prepare to act according to the original plan.
The Mongols drove the captured Ming army's baggage vehicles into Gu'an City and concentrated all the vehicles near the warehouse.
Han Dashan hid in the mezzanine in the mezzanine in one of the big trucks. The mezzanine space is not too large, but it can accommodate a person lying in the mezzanine with weapons. A very hidden hole is opened in the mezzanine in the big truck. From the inside, you can see the outside. Moreover, these small holes also have the function of ventilation, so that the night hidden in the mezzanine will not be suffocated.
Han Dashan and every Yebushang were wearing a cotton armor and a cotton coat inside. It would not be cold when lying in the car. It was just that lying in the narrow mezzanine for a long time was also an unbearable torture. However, for these elite Yebushang trained by Li Lao Er, during the training, the fixed-station queue was trained, and this torture was still tolerated.
In addition to carrying the weapons he is good at, each person also carries a short and exquisite hand crossbow. The hand crossbow is only one foot long and has a fifty steps in the range. It can break armor within thirty steps. The hand crossbow with not too strong bow power is not slow to skeleton. Although this one-foot-long crossbow arrow is not very lethal, it is applied to the arrows with a highly poisonous arrow poisonous wood venom, which can be said to be a blood-sealed throat.
When it got dark, Han Dashan and others quietly opened a twitching wooden board at the bottom of the car, carried weapons and came out of the mezzanine.
During the day, Han Dashan saw everything around him through the peeping hole. This was an open space in the city, with a circle of wooden fences being drawn around. This place was originally a grain and grass warehouse in Gu'an City, with mountains of piles of grain and forage piles piled up. After the Jurchens occupied Gu'an, the Mongolians also placed the stables near the warehouse.
Ye Bushe came out of the mezzanine. Under the leadership of Han Dashan and Li Hong, they quietly climbed over the wooden fence, passed through the street in the center of the city, entered an alley, and walked along the alley towards Yingxunmen.
When they passed several courtyards, Han Dashan and the others heard the sound of the captive people of the Ming Dynasty; when they passed several courtyards where the Mongolians lived, they heard the sound of Han women crying and shouting inside. But they didn't care about so much now. Now they need to go to Yingxunmen to operate, eliminate the defenders stationed at the city at night, and open the city gate and let the Ming army enter the city.
Just as Han Dashan led Ye Bushang to emerge from the mezzanine, Cao Wenzhao, Li Laoer and Cao Bianjiao were also ready to set off and ready to go.
Ming Jun hid in the woods for a whole afternoon. In the evening, everyone ate a few bites of fried noodles in the snow.
"This fried noodles tastes pretty good." Cao Wenzhao expressed his approval of this dry food.
"This kind of dry food is easy to carry. A person can bring food for seven days with him. He does not take up space. He just eats it in the snow. He will be full after a few bites. He is very hungry."
Cao Wenzhao rode on his horse, pulled out his knife and pointed forward: "Brothers, set off!"
The horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, and everyone bit a piece of chord in their mouths, and horse chews were hung in their mouths, and they quietly marched towards Gu'an City six miles away.
As the time of operation approached, Han Dashan and his subordinates took Ye Busuan, first attacked the Mongolians living in several yards near Yingxunmen.
Han Dashan took two men and Wubiao, climbed over the wall and entered the yard. This is a common yard in the north. There is a door on the front, with a kitchen and a firewood room next to the door, and a house on three sides. At this time, the Mongolians living in the house had already slept like dead pigs.
Yebu took him to the door of the east wing, pulled out his short knife, inserted it into the crack of the door, gently pried open the door bolt, and then carefully pushed open the door open and entered the house. All this was done without alarming the Mongolians.
When the night didn't stop, the knife fell, and blood splattered. In a blink of an eye, all the four Mongolians lying on the kang cut their throats, and the room was suddenly filled with a pungent smell of blood.
Han Dashan pried open the door of the north house and tiptoed into the house. He walked to the kang and saw the first Mongolian lying on the kang. He covered the Mongolian's mouth with his left hand and stabbed into his heart with a knife. The short knife was pulled out, and a blood arrow sprayed on Han Dashan's face. After assassinating the first Mongolian, the short knife in his hand stabbed out again and again like lightning, and in an instant, the six Mongolians sleeping in the north house were born. The other one did not take it at night, which also resulted in four Mongolians in the west wing.
After destroying the Mongolians in this yard, Han Dashan and others immediately took off the Mongolian coats hanging on the wall, put on their cotton armor, put on the Mongolian helmet, and then tied a white towel on their arms to identify the enemy and us.
All the nights have already begun to take action. One hundred nights have taken action separately and acted at the same time. In just a quarter of an hour, more than 400 Mongolian soldiers living in the nearby yard have become their sword ghosts.
Han Dashan and his Yebusuomen who had put on Mongolian armor gathered together, Han Dashan and Li Hong took Yebusuo to Yingxun Gate. Arriving downstairs of the city gate, Han Dashan asked Cao Lei to ambush near the city gate with seventy people, and he and Li Hong took thirty brothers to walk up the steps.
