Kong Youde and other leaders watched the boarding of soldiers and the carrying of boxes by the dock of Xiaohai. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Kong Youde suppressed the lightness in his heart, and said to Wang Zideng: "When we arrive in Liaodong, we have soldiers and silver, plus the Hongyi cannon in this Dengzhou city, and when the time comes, Huang Taiji will give us the title of king, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem." ”

Wang Zideng grinned: "We are all old brothers of Dongjiang, when the time comes, everyone will be crowned a king and enjoy all the glory and wealth, wouldn't it be happy?" ”

The two laughed together, looking forward to the good days after arriving in Liaodong.

In the Ming army camp outside the city, Zhu Dadian got up very early, today is an important day, and he almost didn't sleep all night. Last night, Xia Nan asked for a separate meeting, and told him a shocking news: the spies who had infiltrated Dengzhou a few days ago came out with the news that the rebels were really going to escape, and it was said that they had fled to Liaodong to join the Tartars, and the time was today.

Hearing the news, Zhu Dadian was surprised and delighted. What was surprising was that the rebels dared to surrender to the enemy as Xia Nan guessed, and the good news was that the spies who were not optimistic about it actually played a key role. Since the rebels want to flee, the strength to defend the city will inevitably be empty, and the opportunity to take Dengzhou in one fell swoop has come.

He praised Xia Nan: "General Xia Shen is really Benfu's blessed general, once the war in Shandong is over, Benfu will definitely ask for credit for you." ”

"Thank you for your love. Since the rebels were about to flee, their defenses must be empty, so the last general asked not to participate in the siege of the city, and rushed to Long Island overnight to command the naval division to ambush the rebels. ”

Zhu Dadian nodded: "Yes, the main force of the rebels goes to sea, and the interception of the sailors is very important, and it must be up to you." You can go at ease, and I will also count you as a part of the credit for the siege. ”

In the summer, Nan thanked Zhu Dadian and hurried to Long Island overnight.

At two o'clock, Zhu Dadian ordered someone to wake up Gao Qiqian, and accompanied by the generals, he came to the city made of rammed earth and looked at the movement on the opposite side. Today's Dengzhou City was quieter than usual, and he was sensitive to the fact that the rebels' escape was just around the corner, and the time to capture Dengzhou had come.

Gao Qiqian rubbed his eyes, as if he hadn't woken up yet, and asked with a little dissatisfaction: "Why did Master Zhu call our family so early?" ”

Zhu Dadian smiled mysteriously: "Gonggong Gao, Ben Fu had a dream yesterday, the rebels were besieged by the army, and today they want to escape from the waterway, and the defense in the city is empty, it is the time to take Dengzhou in one go!" ”

Gao Qiqian listened to it and wanted to scold his mother, grandma, and he couldn't take it seriously if he dreamed, and he actually woke everyone up to go crazy with you. If it weren't for Zhu Dadian, who was the commander appointed by the saint, he would have had a seizure on the spot.

Zu Kuan, Wu Sangui and other generals were confused, Lord Futai has always been calm, why did he speak so inexplicably today?

Last night, Xia Nan secretly asked to see Zhu Dadian, and no one else knew. Zhu Dadian made up his mind to monopolize the credit, and did not tell Gao Qiqian and other generals, in the future, he was the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming, the unknown prophet, who could anticipate the escape of the rebels and take the opportunity to recover Dengzhou in one fell swoop. Seeing that everyone was a little confused, he smiled indifferently and ordered: "The generals listen to the order!" ”

When the crowd heard this, they stood solemnly. No matter whether Zhu Dadian's words just now are reliable or not, he is the commander, and the orders he gives are military orders, and military orders are like mountains and must be implemented.

"Today the whole army is attacking the city. Chen Hongfan and Liu Zeqing led the infantry to attack the West Gate, and Wu Xiang and Jin Guochen led the cavalry to respond; Liu Liangzuo and Deng Xi led the infantry to attack the south gate, and Jin Guoqi and Zu Dabi led the cavalry to respond; Mu Wenshou led the infantry to attack the east gate, and Zu Kuan and Zhang Tao led the cavalry to respond. ”

The crowd roared down.

Wu Sangui heard that there was no name of his own, and hurriedly asked, "Futai, what about me?" "At a young age, he was officially named a guerrilla, and it was precisely when he was eager to make meritorious contributions that he was naturally unwilling to let go of any opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Gao Qiqian also looked at Zhu Dadian, hoping that he could arrange a chance for his godson to fight.

Zhu Dadian looked at him, then at Gao Qiqian, and said with a smile: "How could you forget a fierce general like General Xiao Wu?" You are on standby in the Chinese army, and if there are signs of shaking at any gate, you will be responsible for attacking the gate. ”

Gao Qiqian and Wu Sangui were overjoyed, the hard work was done, and the credit for attacking the city fell on their own family, and the arrangement of Futai was very good.

The officers and soldiers arranged a strategy for a full-scale siege of the city, but the defenders in Dengzhou City did not know about it.

Chen Guangfu looked at the "Gongcheng" built with earth ramming on the opposite side at the south gate, and the opposite side seemed to be ready to open fire, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At this moment, there are only more than 2,000 people guarding the city in Dengzhou, and they are singing about the empty city plan, and I just hope that the officers and soldiers will not see the strangeness.

The large-scale retreat of the rebels had to leave behind the broken manpower, and this messenger finally fell on Chen Guangfu's head. Despite the slander in his heart, Chen Guangfu could only accept this arrangement, who made him have a relatively low status and seniority among the people of Dongjiang. At that time, the rebels were led by Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming and Wang Zideng were the leaders of Dengzhou City.

He looked in the direction of Shuicheng again, although it was blocked by the north gate city wall, and he couldn't see the scene of the large army boarding the ship, he could also guess that Kong Youde and the others were about to set off at this time. I only hope that the main force will leave Dengzhou from Shuicheng as soon as possible, and the officers and soldiers will not find out about the movement here, and spend the day safely and soundly, and they will be lucky to smear oil on the soles of their feet.

The hour had passed, and the hour had just arrived, and several artillery sounds rang out in the camp of the officers and soldiers, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the dense officers and soldiers swarmed out of the battalion, braving the artillery fire at the head of the city, and rushed to Dengzhou City in three directions.

Chen Guangfu shuddered, afraid of something, looking at this posture officers and soldiers are afraid that they will come out, and he is afraid that he will not be able to resist the two or three thousand troops in his hands. However, the plan for the main retreat has been decided, and it is impossible to change it temporarily, and he has no way to retreat, so he pulled out his waist knife and shouted hoarsely: "All go to the city wall, give me a stand!" ”

The rebels in the city also heard the movement of the officers and soldiers attacking. A hint of foreboding flashed in Kong Youde's heart, but there was no time to think about it now, the morale of the retreating troops was completely lost, and it was impossible to pull back to defend the city. Immediately ordered loudly: "Hurry up and board the ship, the delayer will be killed!" ”

Most of the rebels had already boarded the ship, leaving only the heavy boxes. Under the threat of shouting and scolding from the soldiers, the people who were temporarily requisitioned from the city struggled to carry the boxes onto the boat, because the urging was too tight, some people were careless and stepped on the air, fell into the water, and even fell down with a mouthful of boxes, splashing to the sky.

Kong Youde had a gloomy face, drew his knife and walked to the dock, slashed the people who tried to climb up, and shouted: "If you drop it, you will drop it, you don't need to salvage, hurry up and load the ship and set off!" ”

In a hurry, the rebels finally loaded most of the boxes onto the ship, and the three or four hundred sailor warships were overloaded and had an extremely deep draft, which made people worry that they would sink at any time.

The iron gate of the water gate slowly rose, dozens of ships rushed out, sailing to the sea, and the rebels finally left Dengzhou City, which had been entrenched for more than two years.
