"Yes, general. The students will be arranged immediately." Chen Muqing kowtowed to Li Shiyao and then turned and left.
"Other troops? General Li, what does this mean? Do we have other troops?" Yang Yingju asked first
"Yes, General Li. Do we still have troops? Where are they?" Sitku asked in surprise.
I saw that Li Shiyao was in a good mood at this time, and said to the two of them with a smile on his face: "Remember that I told you that I will mobilize troops from several other places to encircle and suppress the rebel Zhang Rui!"
"That's right, that's right. But didn't those troops go straight to Lianshan to encircle and suppress the rebel accomplices? At the same time, it was also to force Zhang Rui to come out." Sitku replied
"Haha, that's because you only know one but not the other. Have you ever thought about what our Holy Lord cares about?" Li Shiyao asked with a smile showing his joy.
"Are you saying that the Holy One only cares about Zhang Rui's head?" Yang Yingju asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Lord Governor. Compared with the garbage in Zhilian Mountain, Zhang Rui's head is what the Holy One wants most. Moreover, if Zhang Rui is killed by us, then the people in Zhilian Mountain will let him run away. So what? Of course it would be best if they don't run away. How many of them will be enough for us to kill?" Li Shiyao patiently answered Yang Yingju's question. He looked as if he had a winning chance and was complacent.
"What's the situation with the other troops?" Yang Yingju asked again
Sitku also echoed Yang Yingju's words again, after all, he had just asked the same question.
"Let me tell you! Except for the Green Camp in Wuzhou, I have moved all the troops and horses from other places to positions twelve miles away from here to form an encirclement." Li Shiyao replied
"The general's plan is brilliant!" Xu Yiduo couldn't help but admired after hearing this.
"Governor Yang, it seems that your master has understood." Li Shiyao was in a good mood. He did not blame Xu Yiduo for talking too much but felt that he spoke at the right time.
"Mr. Xu, do you understand?" Yang Yingju turned to Xu Yiduo beside him and asked
"Mr. Governor, I think I probably understand General Li's plan." Xu Yiduo bowed his hands to Yang Yingju and saluted.
"Then tell me!" Yang Yingju said after receiving many courtesy.
"Yes." Xu Yiduo didn't think Yang Yingju's rudeness was inappropriate at all.
"Today's weather is sunny, suitable for fighting. We have more than 8,000 soldiers here who dare to fight, and we have the advantage of the terrain. The right time, place and people are all gathered. I think it will be easy to defeat Zhang Rui. "Xu Yiduo closed his eyes for a moment and thought for a while, then said slowly.
"But if the rebels are really as elite as the rumors say, and can be indistinguishable from our Qing soldiers, we can drag them here and wait for people from other places to encircle them."
"When nearly 30,000 of our Qing soldiers encircle us, the rebel traitors will surely have their morale high. If our army goes out again, we will be able to defeat him easily. At that time, even the rebel traitors will be unable to escape." At this time, Xu Yiduo touched his beard a little selflessly.
"Yes, it is true." Li Shiyao recognized many of the statements
"Have General Li ever thought about what to do if the rebels don't come? Aren't we waiting here in vain?" Yang Yingju asked
"Not coming? Isn't it coming now!" Li Shiyao said confidently, but in order to convince Yang Yingju, he continued
"Besides, if he doesn't come, we can go over. At that time, we can only attack Zhilian Mountain with more casualties, but as long as he doesn't leave, the rebel Zhang Rui will win."
Yang Yingju heard what Li Shiyao said: As long as the traitor Zhang Rui doesn't leave, it will be a victory. With ten thousand recognitions in his heart, it is estimated that no one wants to kill Zhang Rui more than him at this time. Otherwise, he would not be able to avoid Qianlong.
"Report, report to the general. The rebels have arrived." The scout came over and reported loudly on his knees.
"I got it, go down!" Li Shiyao waved his hand to the reporting scout and said
"Yes, General." The scout bowed down and then retreated.
Li Shiyao looked around on the hillside and saw Zhang Rui's men appearing at the edge of the empty land opposite!
Before he could rest for long, Li Shiyao ordered his armor to prepare to fight and clear out the troops. At this moment, Zhang Rui's men and horses looked at Zhang Rui who appeared in front of them and held their breath. I wish I could rush up and cut their butts off right now, how dare I make myself so uncomfortable.
"Bengbengbengbang
The sound of neat footsteps came from
As far as he could see, Zhang Rui's men and horses came in rows like a wall.
Most of the Green Camp soldiers who were clamoring just now to look good to the enemy stopped shouting.
Li Shiyao looked at men and horses like Zhang Rui, not to mention their combat effectiveness. Just looking at the neat rows of teams, those so-called elite green battalion pacesetters may not be able to do it.
"It seems that Yang Yingju is right, Zhang Ruizhen cannot be underestimated. Seeing his military appearance, if you give him some time, it will probably not be that difficult to deal with." Li Shiyao thought to himself.
"I didn't expect that Zhang Rui, a guy with muddy legs, could actually train to be so capable and look good." said Sitku, standing next to Li Shiyao.
"That's true, but there will be no such person in the future. Right, General Li." Yang Yingju, who was looking at Zhang Rui's troops, replied
"Governor Yang's words are very much in line with my wishes. Today we will solve this disaster for His Majesty." Li Shiyao waved his hand confidently and raised the cloak on his shoulders.
"You guys just wait here for the good news. I will send troops to pick off Zhang Rui's head right away." After saying that, Li Shiyao ignored Yang Yingju and others and just rode away.
"Then I congratulate you in advance on your victory, General."
…
Yang Yingju and others were not surprised when they saw this, after all, the battlefield commander could not afford to delay. So they all said some blessings to Li Shiyao's back as he left.
The two sides stopped one mile away to adjust their troops.
Originally, at the beginning of the war, at this suitable distance, it was natural for artillery to be fired.
Because he was worried that Zhilian Mountain would be besieged by the encircling troops after his troops left, Zhang Rui left his only eight four-pound cannons in Zhilian Mountain for defense by the sword and shield soldiers.
Li Shiyao was too lazy to bring artillery from Guangzhou. Firstly, the mountain road was difficult and the artillery was heavy. Secondly, the distance was too long. The key is that Li Shiyao thinks that he has too many people and it is unnecessary.
Therefore, this is a battle without the sound of artillery.
Li Shiyao saw that Zhang Rui's side was dominated by musketeers, with the pikemen following the musketeers. In addition to these two arms, there are also a few cavalry following the two soldiers.
"Do you think he has other soldiers and horses? Seeing how thorough his military skills are, does he know that he will leave a group of surprise soldiers on the battlefield?" Li Shiyao asked Chen Muqing, who had returned to him at this time.
