I was a conman in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 323 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west

Chapter 323: Attacking in the East and Attacking in the West

At the entrance of Prince Rui's mansion, guards stood on high alert.

Dorgon sat in a chair, waiting for Wang Wenzhou's messenger.

If there is another messenger this time, it will be the 20th. Wang Wenzhou will send a messenger every incense stick's time. After the messenger finishes uttering inexplicable crazy words, he will detonate the bomb on his body.

Sure enough, the messenger came again.

Dorgon had just met this man; he was the Ming Dynasty's Hero 001.

001 cursed and said, "Our Lord Wang said, 'Dorgon, you son of a bitch! Are you even a man? Are you even mentally sound? You don't want the money! You don't want the beautiful girl either? What do you want? You want me? But I'm not gay! If you don't release my babies, I'm going to sleep!'"

"Pfft..." Dorgon was stunned again. He asked, "Wang Wenzhou is drunk?"

001 shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but I have to thank you, otherwise I would have detonated the bomb. I'll go back and ask Lord Wang, then come back and tell you."

Dorgon sneered, "It seems Wang Wenzhou is demonstrating his strength to us. With so many loyal followers, he doesn't care how many die. He's threatening me!"

Dodo nodded and asked, "Then what do we do? Do we really kill Wang Wenzhou's wives and concubines?"

Dorgon shook his head and said with a smile, "If we kill him, we'll have no cards to play. But the plan for tomorrow remains the same. I want to see if Wang Wenzhou will actually show up."

A moment later, Hero of the Ming Dynasty 001 returned and said, "Our Lord Wang said that I've had a bit too much to drink. If you don't release my babies, I'm really going to sleep. Tonight, I'll lead a men to attack your house! I'll fight you to the death!"

"Haha!" Dorgon laughed loudly. Had Wang Wenzhou gone mad? Attacking my palace?

001 quickly said, "Hey, stop laughing! Hurry up and let me take a few words back, or I'll die here."

Dorgon shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Tell Wang Wenzhou that I will be hosting a banquet tonight."

……

Wang Wenzhou picked up his glass and drank it down in one gulp. He was a little drunk, but he had already figured out how to save the babies.

Wang Wenzhou pressed Chen Yuanyuan's head down and said, "Xiaodie, go out and ask if the hot air balloon is ready yet?"

"Okay!" Wen Liandie quickly got dressed and left the room.

Wang Wenzhou's plan was to use a hot air balloon to parachute into Prince Rui's mansion and rescue his babies. Simultaneously, assassins and imperial guards would launch suicidal attacks on the palace and Prince Rui's mansion to distract Dorgon.

Although the plan was extremely risky, Wang Wenzhou couldn't think of any other way. He couldn't bear not to save them! In fact, even if he didn't save them, Wang Wenzhou felt that Dorgon wouldn't harm them, since the Qing Dynasty would face a food shortage. Negotiating peace with the Ming Dynasty was the best option for the Qing.

However, with his babies in Dorgon's hands, Wang Wenzhou couldn't assert himself during peace negotiations and was unable to extort money from the Qing Dynasty. That's why Wang Wenzhou decided to rescue the babies.

……

At the hour of Wei (1-3 PM), under a dark and windy sky, two hundred Imperial Guards prepared to attack from a rooftop not far from the palace.

Jiang Zhenghe said coldly, "Although we are going to our deaths in this operation, even if we die, we must hold out for one hour. Lord Wang has ordered that if we fail to hold out for one hour, he will kill every single person present and their entire family!"

Jiang Zhenghe continued, "There's no need to be too afraid. In one hour, we can surrender according to the surrender terms. At that time, Lord Wang will rescue us. I can guarantee that to you."

If we surrender to the enemy, will Lord Wang still be able to save us? Impossible!

Seeing that the crowd didn't believe him, Jiang Zhenghe said softly, "Let me give you a heads-up: the Tartars will soon be negotiating peace with our Great Ming. So, Lord Wang will definitely keep his word. Brothers, are you confident you can hold out for an hour?"

"Yes!" the crowd exclaimed.

"Alright! Beat the drums, fire the whistling arrows, set off the firecrackers, begin the attack!" Jiang Zhenghe commanded.

In an instant, various noisy sounds arose outside the palace, which could be heard from a great distance.

"Huang Taiji! The warriors of our Great Ming have arrived! Come out and face your death!" A dozen or so Imperial Guards shouted in unison.

Because it was too dark and visibility was poor, the palace guards were unsure of the exact number of attackers. Therefore, they did not go out to attack, but instead continuously sent out messengers to mobilize troops to suppress the rebels.

Jiang Zhenghe waved his hand and ordered, "Catapults, attack immediately!"

The cannons of the Ming Dynasty were too cumbersome, weighing several tons, making it impossible to smuggle them into Shengjing City. In order to make a big enough commotion, Wang Wenzhou specially ordered the construction of more than a dozen catapults with a range of more than 100 meters. Although this was within the range of the palace guards' bows and arrows, it was too dark and visibility was poor, so they could not attack accurately.

"Bang! Bang!..." The explosive charges on the catapults were launched into the palace, and in an instant, a series of huge explosions rang out.

At Prince Rui's residence, Dorgon received an imperial edict from Huang Taiji, ordering him to lead troops to rescue the emperor.

Dorgon shook his head with a wry smile. This was clearly Wang Wenzhou's feint, but if he didn't send troops to rescue the emperor, Huang Taiji would definitely cause him trouble afterward.

Dorgon said, "Dodo, take two thousand men to the palace to rescue the emperor."

Dodo frowned and said, "Wang Wenzhou doesn't have many men at his disposal. If he really wants to save his wife, he will definitely lead a large force to attack the Prince's Mansion. If I take half of the men to the palace, the Prince's Mansion will be fine."

Dorgon laughed and said, "You're overthinking it. The Prince's Palace is defended by two thousand elite soldiers. How could Wang Wenzhou possibly storm it? If he had that ability, my Qing Dynasty would have perished long ago!"

Dodo nodded and quickly mustered his men to head to the palace.

Seeing that Dodo had led his team away, Wei Yongfu said, "Brothers, it's our turn to make a move! Ultraman Action Team, you guys go first!"

"Yes!" Ultraman 001 straightened his bomb vest and resolutely walked out.

"The war will not end, the holy war will not cease!" Ultraman 001 shouted the slogan and rushed towards the gate of Prince Rui's mansion.

With a loud bang, 001 heroically sacrificed his life.

At the same time, the other members of the Ultraman Action Team also set fire to their bomb vests, and explosions continued to be heard all around the Prince Rui's Mansion.

Dorgon shook his head with a wry smile and muttered to himself: Wang Wenzhou, is there any point in what you're doing? What use are your men, other than being sent to their deaths?

Dorgon did not send troops out to attack because Wang Wenzhou's men were all reckless madmen, all wearing bomb vests. The guards of Dorgon's palace were all elite soldiers from the Two White Banners. Dorgon did not want his warriors to die in vain.

No one noticed that there were 20 points of light in the night sky. These were 20 hot air balloons, and each balloon carried 10 fully armed sedan chair carriers.

The sedan chair carriers were Wang Wenzhou's most elite troops. Wang Wenzhou planned to rely on these men to send a surprise attack and rescue his baby.
