The beggar emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

This time Qin Yu only left a dozen injured teenagers to watch the house.

Four half-person high soy sauce altars, all filled with gunpowder, a total of more than 500 kilograms, were fixed on two carts.

All the guys in the hands of the teenagers were lost, and they couldn't get a stick in their hands. They could only think of a way when the time came.

After working on this, the mother and daughter were also ready, and they came out, both dressed in men's clothing, with their hair tied up like men, and their faces were darkened. Only two eyes were left, bright as snow in the night. .

When he appeared, the teenagers were startled, but Qin Yu looked at the feet of the two.

At the age when Li Wan'er is binding her feet, the problem is not big, and Mrs. Li is a little troublesome, but fortunately, the women in the Ming Dynasty binding their feet are not as abnormal as the Qing Dynasty.

The scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty were not stupid, and their aesthetics were better than those of modern people. Unless their brains were broken, women would be allowed to put the five fingers wrapped around their feet together. The deformities would be disgusting at first sight, let alone hold them in their hands for appreciation .

Therefore, women in the Ming Dynasty bound their feet mainly to trim their appearance and make their feet more compact and beautiful.

At this time, Li Dingguo was also ready in the front yard, and brought a team of people to the back yard with torches.

"Is Xiaoyu all right?"

"Well, we can go."

"We are going to ambush, not to bomb the city. Why are you bringing so much gunpowder?" Li Dingguo asked in confusion as he looked at the four soy sauce altars on the cart.

"Hehe, you'll know when you get there. With these four jars of gunpowder, the odds of winning are at least a few percent more."

"Oh!"

Seeing his mysterious look, Li Dingguo was also very curious, but seeing that he didn't explain too much, he didn't ask any more questions, but waved his hand.

"Then go!"

"go!"

A group of people lit a torch and left the courtyard in a mess and gathered at the gate of the city. More than two thousand people fiddled with it for a long time before heading northwest along the official road.

As for Zhang Xianzhong, they are still forming a team at the gate of Dongcheng.

There were more than 2,000 people, and more than 300 torches. The crowds were almost crowded and walked very slowly.

There was no way, except for Mrs. Li and her daughter, everyone else was blind, even Qin Yu was no exception.

"Xiaoyu, you... why did you bring them with you? Isn't this a nonsense?"

Only then did Li Dingguo recognize who the two people were following Qin Yu, and he almost didn't panic.

"Dingguo, isn't it impossible for me? Are you still not sure about your eldest brother's urine?"

"Xiaoyu, men should focus on their great cause, how can you put your thoughts on women every day? It shouldn't be!"

With a serious face, Li Dingguo drew out the long knife from his waist with a sound.

"Dingguo, what are you going to do?" Qin Yu was anxious when he saw this, and the mother and daughter hid behind him in fright.

"Xiaoyu, you get out of the way, I have to kill these two girls today, lest you get addicted to female sex all day long, and you will have a gap with your big brother in the future!"

Li Dingguo looked murderous, he naturally knew that every time his brother and Qin Yu had a big blush and a thick neck, it was mostly this girl who made trouble.

So I reminded Qin Yu more than once to get rid of that girl, but Qin Yu always said something perfunctory, and he didn't have much to say. Now that he even has to take it for battle, it's really intolerable.

"Dingguo, things are not what you think, listen to me, when I was begging in Gucheng, Mrs. Li was kind to me..."

Qin Yu had no doubt that this kid Li Dingguo would destroy the flowers, so he had to explain to him quickly.

"So, why didn't you tell me earlier? It made me think you..."

Li Dingguo was also relieved after listening, and returned the knife to its sheath, complaining.

Not only did he no longer blame Qin Yu, on the contrary, he was somewhat appreciative of his kindness, and he valued love and righteousness.

The mother and daughter were scared into a cold sweat, their legs were soft, and they couldn't move.

This time, Li Dingguo got up with pity and pity, and ordered a cart to be vacated. The mother and daughter sat in the cart one by one, pushed by a strong man.

………

"Dingguo is here, let the army stop."

"Xiaoyu, did you make a mistake? This is not suitable for ambushes. Go seven or eight miles ahead. There is a valley there and the terrain is quite steep..."

"I know the valley you are talking about. You all know that the terrain is steep and easy to ambush. The Ming army also wanted it. This time we fought by surprise!

Imagine that if the Ming army carefully passed through the valley and found that there were no ambushes, they would definitely relax their vigilance. At this time, we were lying in ambush in the woods and suddenly rushed out. There was a small river on the opposite side. We would definitely catch them by surprise."

Qin Yu explained with a smile.

"That's right! Then listen to you, just ambush here."

When Li Dingguo thought about it, this was indeed the case.

"That's fine, you first take people to the woods to sleep and rest, pay attention when you go in, don't mess up the woods, I will take people to arrange them on the road."

Qin Yu didn't know what time it was now, he estimated that he should have traveled more than 30 miles.

Li Dingguo didn't say much, and led more than two thousand troops towards the woods on the left, while Qin Yu led the young man to dig a hole on the official road.

"Madam, you and Wan'er should also find a place to rest!" Qin Yu saw that the mother and daughter would follow wherever he went, especially when Li Wan'er was still clutching his sleeve, so he had to say.

The mother and daughter both shook their heads desperately, looking around vigilantly, obviously frightened by Li Dingguo on the road.

Qin Yu didn't care, and while instructing the teenagers to dig pits, he asked other teenagers to pick up pebbles by the river.

The four large pits were arranged on the official road every 100 meters. A small pit was dug 20 meters to the left of each large pit, and one person squatted down.

After the big pit was dug, four huge soy sauce altars were buried inside, piled up with many small stones, and then a small ditch was dug, and the fuze was moved to the small pit, covered with dry soil.

Fortunately, it hasn't rained for a long time. As long as you remove the fresh dirt that has just been dug out, there will be no traces.

After finishing all these tasks, the sky was already bright, and Qin Yu called the four henchmen to his side.

"Listen well. When you squat in the pit, be sure not to make any movement. When you hear the monkey's bird chirping, you just set the fire. Do you remember everything clearly?"

"Remember it clearly, boss!"

The four teenagers were excited, but with a hint of anxiety.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you stay in the pit, nothing will happen if you don't make any movement. After success, everyone will remember a lot and reward a chicken."

Qin Yu patted the shoulders of the four of them, and each of them stuffed a fire fold and told them to squat into the pit.

Then spread hay with wooden sticks, cover it with soil, and finally sprinkle a layer of dry ash, leaving only a finger-sized hole.

At this time, Li Dingguo also killed him. Qin Yu explained to him. Li Dingguo couldn't help but admire: "You still have a lot of tricks, you can even think of this way, tusk! This is a good way! It works better than a cannon... Haha !"

"Haha, this is called adapting to local conditions, enough for officers and soldiers to enjoy it."

The brothers laughed with joy.

Qin Yu thought for a while, then added: "Yes, but you must restrain your subordinates. Don't make any movement in the woods, or you will lose all your previous efforts, and it is better to catch some birds..."

"It's still thoughtful of you, how could I forget this." Li Dingguo woke up with a slap on his forehead.

"Let's go!"

Qin Yu yawned, glanced at the official way without a trace, and waved.

He knew that Li Dingguo was still young, not as mature and stable as his later generations resisted the Qing Dynasty, but at a young age, he could see the potential of the famous general.
