Mafuta, the main general who has been watching the battle by the sea, witnessed this defeat that stunned him in the clairvoyant mirror. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

His lips trembled, his face turned pale, and his thick beard shook uncontrollably.

Our army, just like that?

Sixty-two warships of the Fang side fought against only sixteen warships of the Ming army, and the whole army was wiped out like this?

Until nightfall, when Li Xiaojun gathered the surrendered Qing army ships and still drove towards Ocean Island, Mafuta's mind was still thinking about this idea that he couldn't understand at all.

In addition to the destruction of all the sailors, the 1,000 Han troops who were on board to escort the Han army with the Qing army fleet were either killed or surrendered.

Now that the night is already dark, Mafuta doesn't have to worry about the Ming army landing and fighting in the dark, but, what about tomorrow?

After dawn tomorrow, can the self who is already like a turtle in an urn, and the subordinates who have experienced two major defeats in one day and have suffered a great demoralization, really be able to defeat the Ming army whose morale is like a rainbow and can attack inside and outside?

Mafuta's mind was confused.

Mafuta, who was lost and despaired, had no idea how he had returned to the military tent in the company of his beloved general Samushka.

And after Mafuta returned, on another seaside reef in the distance, Shen Zhixiang, who also had a pale face, slowly put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand.

A strong sea breeze blew, and Shen Zhixiang's body shook, and he almost fell into the sea.

"It's over, it's over。。。。。。"

Shen Zhixiang, who had a dull expression on his face, repeatedly muttered these two words in his mouth.

In the morning, 3,000 infantry were defeated by the Ming army of Jin Tongwu, who was defending the city, and there were less than 1,000 soldiers left to fight; In the afternoon, all the original Dongjiang Town Naval Division was completely defeated by the Ming fleet, so that it was annihilated and surrendered.

Without his subordinates, Shen Zhixiang understood that he had almost become the commander of the light pole, and in the hearts of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, he should be worthless.

It's just that the current Shen Zhixiang is not thinking about this problem at all, and he is now thinking about an equally important issue like Mafuta.

That is, what should I do after dawn tomorrow?

"Mr. Shen, the matter has come to this, let's go back first."

The deputy general on the side, Wang Tingrui, Shen Zhixiang's closest confidant general, whispered to him.

Shen Zhixiang was like a puppet, motionless, as if he hadn't heard Wang Tingrui speak at all.

"General soldier, although our army has been surrounded and trapped on Ocean Island by the Ming Army, from the perspective of the following, there is no room for things to turn around." Wang Tingrui took a step closer and said to Shen Zhixiang in a low voice.

After Wang Tingrui finished speaking, Shen Zhixiang's body trembled slightly, he turned his head, and looked at Wang Tingrui with an extremely complicated look.

Wang Tingrui also nodded slightly at him with deep eyes.

After the two returned to their military camp, Wang Tingrui ordered the soldiers to guard the tent door strictly outside and not let anyone in.

"Ting Rui, what strategy do you have to protect our army?" Shen Zhixiang's voice was very low.

As soon as his words were finished, Wang Tingrui brushed the ground and knelt on the ground.

"General Shen, in today's plan, only by surrendering again can we save the lives of the remnants of our army!" Wang Tingrui said in a trembling voice.

"Oh," Shen Zhixiang frowned, but his face was covered with a layer of gray, and he said lightly; "Our army, do you really want to surrender again?"

"General Shen, now that the Ming army is surrounded by the island on all sides, our army has become a turtle in an urn, after dawn tomorrow, whether it is victory or defeat, it can be seen that it is a fool! Judging from the future, the only way to survive is to save the lives of our soldiers now. Wang Tingrui said hurriedly.

Shen Zhixiang sighed lightly, but shook his head dejectedly: "Alas, our army rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, shaved and braided their hair, and their reputation has been completely ruined. ”

"My lord, having said that, what if our army can obtain the head of the Qing captive general Mafuta in order to invite merit from the Ming army?" Wang Tingrui's eyes flashed fiercely: "In this case, I believe that the Ming army will see that our army has made great contributions and allow our army to surrender again." ”

Shen Zhixiang's face showed extreme surprise: "Ting Rui, do you mean that you want this soldier to obtain the head of the Qing general Ma Futa?" ”

"Exactly!"

"This, this is not easy to say, Mafuta still has 3,000 Manchurian soldiers and horses, which is three times the number of soldiers in our army, how can we take his head?"

"Your Excellency, you misunderstood." Wang Tingrui replied hurriedly: "I don't want the adults to send troops to fight with the Qing Tartars, but I hope that with a little trick, I will lure Namafuta to come to the tent to discuss matters, and then the swords and axes will come out together, and they will be slashed and killed together with the guards on the spot, and the head will be beheaded." Then, at dawn, our army immediately approached the Ming army on the seashore and offered the head of Mafuta, thinking that it was a merit of refuge. Then join forces with the Ming army to attack the group of Qing Tartars without a leader, and completely wipe out their troops, so that our army is not only guilty, but fearful, but still has merit. ”

Wang Tingrui said this, his face was full of expectation.

Shen Zhixiang's tense face also flashed with a cold color.

"That's a good idea! Hmph, as the old saying goes, a small amount is not a gentleman, and a non-toxic husband is not a husband. Namafuta, who bullies others, treats our army like a mustard, and calls our soldiers like slaves. And he was arrogant and didn't listen to advice, so that the soldiers of Dongjiang Town suffered such heavy losses! In the heart of this soldier, he has long wanted to kill this thief with a knife. Shen Zhixiang gritted his teeth and said this, but suddenly paused, turned his head to Wang Tingrui and said, "Tingrui, in your opinion, how should you induce him to come to my military camp?" “

Wang Tingrui brushed his beard and said: "Chief soldier Shen, in my opinion, if I go in person, I will say that General Soldier Shen is now crying bitterly in the camp because of the destruction of the water division. Although we persuaded hard, General Shen gritted his teeth and said that he would fight to the death with the Ming army early tomorrow morning, thinking that the dead soldiers would take revenge. Therefore, I was specially sent to invite the master of Mafuta to come and discuss it together, to see how to prepare, so that tomorrow we can better defeat the Ming army, so as to avenge today's defeat. ”

Shen Zhixiang sighed, he groaned slightly, and then nodded in agreement: "Ting Rui, according to your plan, that soldier will start preparing now." ”

Subsequently, Shen Zhixiang ordered the elite soldiers and explained to them carefully, and how to listen to him throw the cup as a number.

Just when Shen Zhixiang and Wang Tingrui were intensively discussing how to trap and kill Ma Futa, Ma Futa, the chief general of the Qing army, was in the camp with his confidant and favorite general, Samushka who had captured Shen Shikui, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, and was nervously discussing in the camp how to fight to the death with the Ming army tomorrow.

"Master, our army will fight the Ming army tomorrow, but I don't know what the odds are?" Under the jumping candlelight, Samushka's expression was very grim.

Mafuta's gaze was like a sharp knife, he stared at Samushka's stern face, and after a long time, Fang sighed lightly: "Samushka, you have followed me for many years, this official will tell you the truth, tomorrow's battle, the morale of the Ming army is strong, and it can be attacked from both sides, and our army's morale is low and the enemy is on the back, it is really a lot of luck." ”

"What does the master mean?"

"Hmph, the matter has come to this, my Eight Banners Warrior Encore has a reason to retreat! This official will lead all the warriors of the Eight Banners to fight to the death with the Ming army, even if he wants to die here, he must fight with the Ming army to the end, in order to live up to the prestige of my Qing army! Maforta gritted his teeth and finished speaking, with a hideous look on his face.

Samushka listened to Shangguan's passionate statement, and hurriedly said: "Since the master has decided to fight to the death, Samushka will follow him to the death." It's just that I don't know what the Dongjiang army plans to do, and can it work together with our army to resist the enemy? ”

"I expected them to rebel." Mafuta said coldly: "Perhaps, these guys have even planned to take the head of the general and ask for merit from the Ming army." ”

"Oh, why did the master say that?"

"Hmph, this group of Ming Dynasty surrendered troops, and this official understands it best. It's okay to fight a good fight, but if you really want them to be like us, they are willing to die for the Qing Dynasty, but they absolutely can't. Shen Zhixiang, the former deputy chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, may be hating this official because of the loss of his troops and sailors. Perhaps, tomorrow, these hateful fellows will become the third enemy force that our army will face. Mafuta said this, and his face did not seem to show a sad look.

At this time, a personal soldier suddenly came to report, saying that Wang Tingrui, the deputy general of Shen Zhixiang's department, asked to see him.

After listening to the report of his own soldiers, Mafuta's eyes flashed, and he suddenly raised his head and laughed.

"Master, is it ridiculous that this Wang Tingrui asks to see him?" Samushka asked.

"Hmph, the official is laughing, these guys are so calculating, originally, the official thought that they would defect after going into battle tomorrow, but I didn't expect that now they can't help but do it." A smile appeared on Ma Futa's face: "I dare to expect that this Wang Tingrui must have come to persuade me to go to Shen Zhixiang's tent to discuss matters, and then take the opportunity to kill this official, take the head of this official, and ask the Ming army for credit!" ”

"Ahh If so, how can adults deal with it? Samushka looked terrified.

"He, Shen Zhixiang, thinks of such a poisonous trick, and he can earn me. But I don't know, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, and the official is about to plan it, so he will do it first, and then take the opportunity to incorporate his subordinates, so that our army will fight with the Ming army tomorrow, but there will be less worries about the opposite. A cold light flashed in Mafuta's eyes.

Then, he whispered a few explanations to Samushka, who nodded lightly and went down to make arrangements.

Sure enough, as Ma Futa expected, Wang Tingrui entered the tent with a sad face, and hurriedly complained to Ma Futa, saying that Shen Zhixiang wanted to avenge today's defeat in two consecutive battles, and specially invited Ma Futa to go to Shen Zhixiang's tent to discuss matters, and tomorrow they would fight to the death with the Ming army.

After listening to Wang Tingrui's story, Mafuta glanced meaningfully at Samushka on the side.

"Alas, General Shen wants to avenge the soldiers who died in the battle, and with the friendship of the whole robe, this officer is deeply moved. What's more, General Shen wants to fight to the death with the Ming army, which is also a loyal and brave service to my Qing Dynasty, and this official appreciates it very much. In this way, Wang Tingrui, this official will go with you, discuss with General Shen, and see how to arrange the battle formation tomorrow, so as to better deal with the Ming army that has landed and come to fight. ”

With a touched face, Mafuta talked eloquently to Wang Tingrui, making Wang Tingrui, who was kneeling on the ground, overjoyed.

Afterwards, Mafuta ordered Wang Tingrui to lead the way, and he took Samushka and a group of selected guards, lit torches, and headed for Shen Zhixiang's camp.

"The master has arrived, and there is a distraction below, and it is windy outside, so please enter the account and speak." Shen Zhishen stood outside the tent door, and in a respectful tone, he bowed to Ma Futa, who was walking with the right money, and made a gesture of greeting.

Mafuta laughed, and without answering, he walked straight into the tent.

Samushka followed him into the tent.

The ten guards behind him also followed Mafuta into the tent.

Shen Zhiqi's face was hesitant, and he was about to have someone stop this group of guards, but Wang Tingrui on the side glanced at him, signaling that he didn't have to do this.

Shen Zhixiang understood what Wang Tingrui meant.

After all, in this dark night, if he forcibly refused to allow these guards to enter, then Mafuta would be suspicious, and when the time came, things would change, and it would be troublesome.

Besides, he had ambushed sixty sword and axe men, and if he suddenly rose up, he was absolutely sure of dealing with the ten unsuspecting guards.

Subsequently, Shen Zhixiang entered the account and sat down with Mafuta.

"Mr. Shen, what is the matter of inviting this official here late at night?"

Mafuta's gaze, with inexplicable mockery, was like a sharp knife, poking straight at Shen Zhixiang's face.

Shen Zhixiang's heart sank, otherwise, he suddenly thought that now he had no way to retreat, and then it was time for a showdown.

Shen Zhixiang coughed dryly, picked up the teacup in his hand, then looked directly at Mafuta, and said softly: "Mafuta, I will invite you to come, but I just want to borrow something from you." ”

"Haha, you Han people, you are always so secretive, not at all cool, if you want the head of the official, just say it." After Mafuta finished laughing, his face changed, and he stood up and shouted: "Where is the official's guard, Shen Zhi is a chaotic offender, quickly kill this fang!" ”

While the guards roared and rushed towards Shen Zhixiang, the teacup in Shen Zhixiang's hand fell suddenly.

With a bang, the footsteps of a large number of swordsmen and axemen immediately sounded outside the tent, and they poured in from outside the tent.

"Haha, Shen Zhixiang, you have calculated everything, but you are still one step too late." Seeing that one of his guards was about to stab the knife in Shen Zhixiang's face, Mafuta laughed proudly.

However, his smile quickly stiffened.

With a soft thud, a sharp knife came out of Mafuta's back and stabbed him through the chest. The tip of the bloody knife came out of Mafuta's chest.

Mafuta endured the extreme pain that followed, and his eyes were extremely shocked, and he turned his head back with difficulty, trying to see whose black hand it was, the sharp knife inserted into his chest stirred it hard.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Mafuta's mouth, and he muttered, "It's hard to guard against thieves。。。。。。 He fell to the ground and never moved again.

Shen Zhixiang, who was on the other side, looked at Samushka with an extremely stunned look at the handle of the knife that was full of blood, and his face was as black as iron.

Including Wang Tingrui, the sword and axe hands who poured into the tent were also stunned.

At this time, those Mafuta's guards stood with expressionless swords,

This, this, what's going on?

Shen Zhixiang couldn't come back to his senses for a while, he half opened his mouth, staring at Samushka who was walking slowly towards him, but he stood like a puppet.

"Chief Shen, Mafuta is dead, tomorrow, we can surrender to the Ming army together."

Samushka sneered at Shen Zhixiang, who was still stunned, in stiff Chinese. (To be continued.) )
