The soldiers and horses on the left and right wings of the Ming army surrounded the location of the main force of the Tiger Flag.
Fu Zonglong was determined to have a decisive battle with the main force of the Tiger Character Banner, and use a battle to create a situation in Shandong.
At this time, the main force of the troops coming aboard was facing the sea, and they were no longer able to send troops to support him.
In this battle, only the soldiers and horses Fu Zonglong himself brought from Jinan Mansion.
Tens of thousands of Ming troops were mobilized around the border between Qingzhou Prefecture and Laizhou. They had to travel all the way to eat. Coupled with the damage to the local area, it was difficult to conceal their whereabouts.
Tiger Flag had sent out sentinels early.
"Damn it, the other party is finally here, we can have a good fight." Sun Chuang came over with a curse in his mouth, picked up the big teapot on the table and took a few gulps of water.
Chen Xunping in the tent heard this and said with a smile: "The decisive battle between the Ming army and us was not something that was expected long ago. It is a pity that the soldiers and horses in Laizhou did not move, otherwise it would also relieve some of the pressure on the sea power."
"We don't need our help on the sea. They are all big ships. I heard they are like moving cities. The sailors dare not leave the port when they arrive." Sun Chuang said.
Chen Xunping smiled after hearing this.
He had never seen what his own ship looked like, but he learned from the sentinels who saw his ship that the sailors who came aboard no longer dared to leave the bay, let alone had any spare power to support Fu Zonglong.
"Come and take a look." Chen Xunping called Sun Chuang, pointed to a location marked on the map, and said, "This place is where we will have a decisive battle with the Ming army, and here it is."
As he spoke, he moved his fingers slightly on the map.
"Deploy an ambush here. Once the Ming army is defeated and wants to retreat, we can completely wipe out this defeated army and severely hit the Ming army's effective strength in Shandong."
Chen Xunping said.
Sun Chuang looked at the map for a while and asked: "How many ambush troops should be sent? I heard that there was a deputy general named Wang Chengyin who followed Fu Zonglong. When he was in Liaodong, he suffered a defeat in the war and took the initiative to flee in order to preserve his strength. If he does it again this time, we may not be able to stop him since we don’t have enough ambush troops.”
In order to let our people know more about the situation of the slave thieves, Tiger Character Flag almost collected the battles between the Ming army and the slave thieves through some means, and then sent them to each army through the military report situation, so as to analyze the situation between the Ming army and the slave thieves. The battle between slaves and thieves is analyzed.
Wang Chengyin's situation is not unfamiliar to the army here at Tiger Character Banner, and most of the officers have learned about what he did on the Liaodong battlefield.
After all, because of his active retreat, he severely defrauded many Ming troops.
"I am going to arrange a thousand-man team and send an additional artillery squadron to ambush." Chen Xunping said, "I hope you can lead the team yourself."
As he said that, he looked at Sun Chuang.
The soldiers and horses that were ambushing the Ming army on the way to defeat may not necessarily be able to be used, and if Sun Chuang went together, he would lose the opportunity to command the frontal battlefield.
He didn't want to force Sun Chuang.
"I'll go." Sun Chuang understood what Chen Xunping meant and agreed immediately.
Chen Xunping said hesitantly: "You have to think clearly. If the Ming army is defeated on the frontal battlefield and not many Ming soldiers escape, or if they don't take this route to escape, you will miss the opportunity to make meritorious deeds."
"I know, at worst, I will continue to be your deputy in the future." Sun Chuang said in a relaxed tone.
Chen Xunping nodded and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, even if no one from the Ming army flees in this direction, I will drive them in this direction."
"Haha, okay, it's best to drive Fu Zonglong over. If I catch Fu Zonglong then, my contribution will be greater than yours. Maybe your position as a teacher will be mine from now on." Sun Chuang said jokingly .
Chen Xunping smiled and said, "I am the master you want and I can give it to you at any time."
In the other direction, Fu Zonglong led an army to stop and station thirty miles away from the main force of the Tiger Character Banner.

He called over Sun Chuanting and Wang Chengyin.
He told Wang Chengyin about the Tiger Character Banner's partial army in Jinan Prefecture, and persuaded Wang Chengyin to stay and deal with the main force of the Tiger Character Banner. He promised that as long as the main force of the Tiger Character Banner was defeated in Laizhou, he would help Wang Chengyin sit down. Go to the position of commander-in-chief.
The commander-in-chief is already the highest practical position of a military commander.
The next step up is the title of knighthood or military official. As for the governor's office, don't even think about it. Except for those noble people, they are civil servants. The military commander is just a false title at most, which has no practical significance.
"See the Supervisor."
Sun Chuanting met Wang Chengyin outside, and the two of them went to Fu Zonglong's room together.
The Ming army was stationed in a town, and Fu Zonglong set up his military camp in a private house in the town.
"You two are here just in time, hurry up and take your seats." Fu Zonglong greeted the two of them enthusiastically.
The war is about to begin, and these two people are the main force in the war.
"I would like to thank the supervisor."
"I will thank the supervisor at the end."
The two people sat down, one on the left and the other on the right.
Fu Zonglong looked at Sun Chuanting, then at Wang Chengyin, and said: "You two should also understand the current situation. The main force of the tiger thieves has not made any moves at the moment. It is obvious that they have the same idea as us. Here we are with Let’s fight to the death.”
"Don't worry, Commander, we have the advantage in strength. The traitors are not as good as us. We will definitely defeat the traitors at the end of this battle." Wang Chengyin assured Fu Zonglong, patting his chest.
After hearing this, Fu Zonglong smiled and nodded towards Wang Chengyin and said, "With General Wang's words, I feel much safer."
"Actually, it would be a good thing if the traitors retreated voluntarily and did not fight with us. But now that they stay, it shows that they think they can eat our troops." Sun Chuanting said thoughtfully.
He was not like Wang Chengyin, who took care of everything casually and said some words that Shangguan liked to hear. What he was thinking about was more about the situation between the enemy and ourselves in this battle and how to increase the weight of victory.
Fu Zonglong said: "What Ambassador Sun said is not unreasonable, but I currently have the advantage of military strength. Besides, we have no choice. This battle must be fought, and we can only win but not lose."
He could also think of the problems Sun Chuanting mentioned.
But Tiger Flag is not an ordinary rebel, nor is it the kind of bandit who loots everywhere, but a force with its own foundation and support, which is equivalent to another big gold.
It's just that one is outside and the other is inside.
In his opinion, dealing with such a fledgling anti-thief force is the most troublesome.
The reason why the She'an Rebellion lasted for so many years was that, in addition to some reasons, the main reason was that the other party was a bandit who had a local base and was difficult to eliminate.
The Tiger Character Banner is already more troublesome than the She'an Rebellion back then. After all, the She'an Rebellion was not so big that it took over several provinces as its foundation.
