Chapter 1427 Night Attack on Spring City
Wu Sangui's bones were cut into pieces, leaving only a complete piece of skin which was sent to Han Yu.
"Cut off the face and make a mask for me. Fill the rest with hay and hang it at the gate of the village. Let everyone see this. This is the fate of a traitor. After today, hang it on the top of the city wall of Chuncheng."
"Your Highness, are you going to dress up as Wu Sangui and attack Spring City at night?"
Mu Tianbo asked in surprise.
"That's right, but we have to be quick. It's best to do it tonight. Otherwise, if it takes too long, the enemy might get suspicious. When cleaning up the battlefield, try to collect the finished armor and flags, have our people put them on, and set out immediately. We can open the city gate at night and attack their lair."
Han Yu said.
Now, he had to be fast and cut off the enemy's lair before the enemy could react, making the enemy's troops in Yunnan Province leaderless. In this way, he could defeat them one by one and occupy the entire Yunnan Province.
"Yes, sir." Mu Tianbo was excited when he heard that he could attack Wu Sangui's lair. He personally led people to clean up the battlefield, found out pieces of armor that were still intact, and asked his subordinates to put them on . In order to avoid being recognized, everyone smeared dust on their faces.
If you don't run into someone you know, you won't be able to tell who that person is.
The only regret is that most of the horses were killed in the explosion.
Only the horses of Wu Sangui and his personal soldiers were left.
This made Mu Tianbo feel a little regretful.
He lamented that the power of the Flying Thunder Cannon was too great and even killed the horse, which ruined his idea of forming a cavalry.
"It's okay. There are plenty of horses in Chuncheng. As long as we are fast enough and break in before those rebels can react, so that they don't have time to ride their horses, all the horses will be ours."
Han Yu said.
Hearing Han Yu say this, Mu Tianbo slapped his thigh.
I almost forgot about this.
The elite troops under Wu Sangui are the Guanning Cavalry, so how could they be short of horses?
As long as we launch a surprise attack on Chuncheng, the formation of cavalry will be just around the corner.
Thinking about forming a cavalry soon, Mu Tianbo became more motivated. In less than two hours, he had almost cleaned up the battlefield.
As for the corpses, some were used to fill the pits, and the rest were left where they were, for the remaining farmhands to dig pits and bury them.
As for the main force, all members changed into enemy uniforms, tied white towels on their arms, and marched rapidly towards Chuncheng.
By the time they arrived in Chuncheng, the moon was already at its highest point in the sky.
Although everyone was a little tired after traveling for half a day, they became excited when they thought about what they were going to do next.
"Open the door!"
Han Yu put on Wu Sangui's mask, rode his horse to the front of the team, and shouted loudly towards the city.
The officer guarding the city gate quickly leaned out to look.
As soon as I saw their faces, clothes and flags were all ours, I felt relieved.
"Don't worry, Marshal. I will open the door right away. Open the door quickly. Marshal, you will return victorious!"
The city gate officer shouted loudly.
A group of people pulled out the bolt and opened the door.
"Everyone, put down your weapons and stand facing the wall."
Han Yu said.
"Marshal, what does this mean?"
The city gate officer didn't know why Wu Sangui suddenly asked them to do this.
"Hmm?" Han Yu didn't say anything, just looked at them coldly.
"Hurry, do as the Marshal says!" The city gate officer felt a little numb when he was stared at. He quickly threw away his weapon and stood facing the wall.
The same goes for the rest of the people.
Han Yu gave a look to the people behind him, and immediately a group of people ran over, came behind those people, suddenly drew out the long swords at their waists, and chopped down.
This sudden change caught the soldiers defending the city off guard. They had no weapons in their hands and were hacked to death on the spot, leaving no one alive.
"One squadron will stay here to guard the city gates. The rest, follow me."
Han Yu led everyone and hurried forward.
Chuncheng was Wu Sangui’s base camp, and it was heavily guarded . Soldiers patrolling the city could be seen from time to time.
"Stop, who is it?"
There was a turn ahead and suddenly a team of patrolling soldiers holding torches appeared.
The patrolling soldiers were obviously not expecting to see so many people all of a sudden. They were startled and quickly drew their swords.
"You are blind, take a good look at who I am."
Han Yu said coldly.
"Master!"
When the patrol soldier saw that it was Wu Sangui, he was so scared that the knife in his hand dropped and he fell to his knees on the ground.
"Drop your weapons and go hide in the corner over there."
Han Yu pointed his whip at the corner.
"yes!"
The patrol soldier didn't dare to say anything more. He just threw away the weapon in his hand and ran to the corner and squatted down.
Han Yu waved his hand, and immediately a group of people came up and hacked the patrolling soldiers to death on the spot.
"Walk."
Han Yu urged his horse to move forward.
Relying on Wu Sangui's face, Han Yu's move was almost always successful, and he rushed all the way to the camp of Guanning Iron Cavalry.
"Open the door."
Han Yu led his men into the camp.
There is a long row of barracks in the camp, each with a large bunk bed where ordinary soldiers sleep.
As for generals, they all have separate rooms.
"Do it."
Han Yu ordered.
His grenadiers immediately arrived at the barracks in batches according to the previous plan, kicked open the windows, and threw the lit grenades inside.
Boom, boom, boom!
A series of explosions occurred in the barracks, and those soldiers were sent to heaven while they were sleeping.
The other soldiers in the camp realized something was wrong and rushed over with weapons in hand to provide assistance.
But before they could get close, a grenade flew over.
Boom, boom!
Flames flickered and shrapnel flew.
Under the sweep of shrapnel, the soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
"Clear the camp, leave no one behind."
Han Yu said.
Those in the camp were all old subordinates who had followed Wu Sangui for many years. These people could no longer be used, so it was better to deal with them directly.
If we keep them, it will cause trouble.
Under Han Yu's command, the grenadiers began to clear out the enemy in different areas.
Whether the soldiers were sleeping or alive, they were all killed by them.
"Clear all the officials in the city, leaving no one alive. If they are high-ranking officials, you can also capture them and publicly execute them tomorrow."
Han Yu ordered.
"Your Highness, however, we do not know in which mansion those officials live."
Mu Tianbo said.
"As long as they are wealthy and powerful, we will copy them all. Anyway, there will definitely be no one from our family living in a wealthy and powerful family. We will copy them all."
Han Yu ordered.
At this time, there is no time to distinguish and only copying everything can prevent future troubles.
"yes!"
Mu Tianbo commanded teams of troops to rush towards the tall gates and courtyards in the city.
He had been doing business in Chuncheng for many years and knew the city like the back of his hand. Under his guidance, all the officials of Chuncheng, big and small, were brought to Han Yu without exception.
