Chapter 20

This time, Qin Huan only left a dozen injured teenagers to look after the house.

The four and a half person high soy sauce jars are full of gunpowder, more than 500 kilograms, fixed on two trolleys.

The boys lost all the guys in their hands, and they couldn't get together a stick in their hands. They can only think of a way at that time.

After all this, the mother and daughter were ready and came out. They were all dressed in men's clothes, their hair was tied up like a man, and their face was dark. Only two eyes were left, bright as snow at night.

As soon as he appeared, he startled the teenagers, but Qin Huan looked at their feet.

Li Waner's age at foot binding is not a big problem. Mrs. Li is in some trouble. However, fortunately, women's foot binding in the Ming Dynasty is not as abnormal as that in the Qing Dynasty.

The scholar bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty were not stupid, and their aesthetic outlook was no worse than that of modern people. Unless their brains were bad, they would let women combine their five fingers wrapped around their feet. They were disgusting at the sight of deformity, not to mention holding them in their hands.

Therefore, women's foot binding in the Ming Dynasty was mainly to trim their appearance and make their feet smaller and more beautiful.

At this time, Li Dingguo was also ready in the front yard and came to the backyard with a team of men and horses lighting torches.

"Is Xiaoyu all right?"

"Well, you can go."

"We're going to ambush, not to bomb the city. Why do you bring so much gunpowder?" Li Dingguo looked at the four soy sauce jars on the cart and asked puzzled.

"Hehe, you'll know when you get to the place. With these four jars of gunpowder, the odds of winning will be at least several percent more."

"Oh!"

Li Dingguo was very curious when he saw his mysterious face, but he didn't explain too much, so he didn't ask again, but waved his hand.

"Then let's go!"

"Go!"

A group of people turned on torches, left the yard in disorder and gathered at the gate of the city. More than 2000 people fiddled with it for a long time before they went northwest along the official road.

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

More than 2000 people, that is, more than 300 torches. The dense team is crowded and walks very slowly.

There was no way. Except Mrs. Li and her daughter, everyone else was blind, even Qin Huan.

"Xiao Yu, you... How did you take them with you? Isn't this nonsense? "

It was not until then that Li Dingguo recognized who were the two people following Qin Huan, and his chin almost fell off.

"Dingguo, isn't it impossible for me? Don't you know your brother's urination? "

"Xiaoyu, men should focus on great cause. How can you focus on women every day? Too much! "

Li Dingguo looked serious, said with a clang, and pulled out the long knife at his waist.

"Dingguo, what are you doing?" Qin Huan was worried, and his mother and daughter hid behind him.

"Xiao Yu, get out of the way. I have to kill these two women today, so that you won't indulge in women all day and have a gap with your brother in the future!"

Li Dingguo looked murderous. Naturally, he knew that the big brother and Qin Huan were red faced and thick necked every time they fought. Most of them were caused by the woman.

So he reminded Qin Huan to get rid of the girl more than once, but Qin Huan was perfunctory every time. He didn't say much. Now he even had to take it with him to fight. It's unbearable.

"Dingguo, it's not what you think. Listen to me, Mrs. Li was kind to me when I begged in Gucheng..."

Qin Huan had no doubt that Li Dingguo would destroy flowers, so he had to explain to him quickly.

"I see. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Made me think you... "

After hearing this, Li Dingguo was relieved. He returned the knife to the scabbard and complained.

Not only did he no longer blame Qin Huan, but he appreciated him for his kindness and valued love and righteousness.

The mother and daughter were in a cold sweat, their legs and feet were soft, and they couldn't walk anymore.

This time, Li Dingguo took pity on xiangxiyu and ordered someone to vacate a cart for his mother and daughter to sit in the car one left and one right, pushed by a strong man.

………

"Dingguo is here. Let the army stop."

"Xiao Yu, are you mistaken? It's not suitable for ambush here. Go seven or eight miles further. There's a valley there. The terrain is quite steep... "

"I know the valley you're talking about. You all know that it's steep and easy to ambush. The Ming army also wants to get it. This time we're playing by surprise!

Imagine that if the Ming army carefully passes through the valley and finds that there is no ambush, it will certainly relax its vigilance. At this time, we ambush in the woods and suddenly kill them. There is a river opposite. We will definitely catch them by surprise. "

Qin Huan smiled and explained.

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

Li Dingguo thought, this is indeed the case.

"Well, you take people to sleep in the woods first. Pay attention when you go in. Don't mess up the woods. I'll take people to decorate it on the road."

Qin Huan didn't know what time it was. He thought he should have walked more than 30 miles.

Li Dingguo didn't say much. He took more than 2000 troops and touched the forest on the left. Qin Huan took the boy and dug a hole in the official road.

"Madam, you and Wan'er should also find a place to rest!" Qin Huan saw that his mother and daughter followed him wherever he went. Especially Li Waner still grabbed his sleeve and had to say.

Both mother and daughter shook their heads desperately and looked around vigilantly. It was obvious that they were frightened by Li Dingguo on the road.

Qin Huan was not in charge either. He instructed the teenagers to dig a hole and asked other teenagers to pick up small stones by the river.

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

After the big pit was dug, four huge soy sauce jars were buried in it, piled with many small stones, then dug a small ditch, moved the fuse to the small pit, and covered with dry soil.

Fortunately, it hasn't rained for a long time. As long as the fresh soil just dug out is removed, there is no trace.

After all this, it was already dawn. Qin Huan called four confidants to him.

"Listen carefully. When you squat in the pit, you must not make any noise. When you hear the monkey's bird cry, you light the fire. Do you remember clearly?"

"Remember, chief!"

The four teenagers were excited with a trace of uneasiness.

"Don't be afraid. As long as you stay in the pit all the time and don't make any noise, you will be fine. After success, everyone will remember a great merit and reward a chicken."

Qin Huan patted the four people on the shoulder, so each of them stuffed a fire fold and asked them to squat in the pit.

Then it was covered with sticks and hay, covered with soil, and finally sprinkled with a layer of dry ash, leaving only a hole the size of a finger.

At this time, Li Dingguo also killed him. Qin Huan explained to him. Li Dingguo couldn't help admiring him and said, "you still have many ideas. You can even think of this way, tut tut! That's a good way! Better than a cannon... Ha ha! "

"Ha ha, it's called adjusting measures to local conditions. It's enough for officers and soldiers to enjoy."

The two brothers laughed with joy.

Qin Huan thought for a moment and added, "by the way, you must restrain your men. Don't make any noise in the woods, or your previous efforts will be wasted. You'd better catch some birds..."

"It's still thoughtful of you. How can I forget this stubble." Li Dingguo woke up as soon as he patted his forehead.

"Let's go!"

Qin Huan yawned, looked at the officials without trace, and waved his hand.

He knew that Li Dingguo was still young and not as mature and steady as when later generations fought against the Qing Dynasty, but he could see the potential of famous generals at a young age.
