As soon as I entered the Chinese military tent, I was immediately startled by the military sandbox that occupied most of the Chinese military tent.
However, when they looked closely and saw that this was the terrain north of Kaifeng, they were all pleasantly surprised, especially when they saw that there were yellow and black figures on it to mark the situation between ourselves and the enemy.
"My lord, how did you do this?" Zhou Yuji said in surprise, "This is really useful!"
Yuan Shizhong had never heard of it. Looking at the huge sand table in front of him, he was very curious and kept looking at it. As far as he knew, the mountains and rivers were all as big as they should be and as small as they should be, as if the whole place had been shrunk.
Lan Tianbao was very happy when he saw how surprised they were. You know, the Duke has taught it to him, and he can do it next time.
Zhang Mingwei was also quite satisfied with their reactions, so he explained with a smile: "The next step is the decisive battle with Li Zicheng's troops in the Kaifeng area. Therefore, it took a few days to make this military sandbox, which will help us discuss military situations. "
Having said this, he stopped smiling and said seriously: "Now, Liu Jin will introduce to you the military situation of the enemy and ourselves."
Liu Jin held a long habit in his hand. After hearing this, he immediately stepped forward and began to explain to the generals the news he heard from Wu Sangui and others.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Mingwei said seriously: "Now, the enemies of Kaifeng City do not know that our army has arrived nearby. Therefore, I plan to use this information gap to deal a heavy blow to the enemies of Kaifeng. The specific strategy is probably as follows of……"
Then, he took the thin stick from Liu Jin and began to explain the battle plan he had thought up in the past two days.
Explained on this military sand table, Zhou Yuji and others accepted the entire combat plan without any obstacles. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Mingwei finished speaking, Yuan Shizhong couldn't help but said: "My lord, the strength of our two armies is equal. Even if we fight head-on, Yuan Zongdi will never be able to defeat us! If we use this tactic of our lord, then Yuan Zongdi is absolutely doomed!"
"Yes, yes, the Duke's clever plan, we will definitely win!" Yuan Zhuangfei also agreed after hearing this.
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he did not smile triumphantly. On the contrary, he still said to them very seriously: "Our enemy is not just Yuan Zongdi, but the entire coalition led by Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai. This battle is just the first battle, and it will be a bigger battle. Behind. Remember not to underestimate the enemy!"
"General, I obey!" Yuan Shizhong and others heard this with awe, and hurriedly responded loudly with other generals clasping their fists.
Zhang Mingwei nodded and asked them again: "If you were Yuan Zongdi's subordinates, how would you respond? Remember, the purpose of this battle is to win it cleanly. As generals, you must start from your point of view. angles to complement this battle plan.”
Before making a decision, he still maintained his previous style and let them speak freely before the war.
Zhou Yuji and others have become accustomed to Zhang Mingwei's style of commanding the army. Therefore, they are not afraid of offending the coach by checking for omissions and filling vacancies. They even deliberately find trouble to make the battle plan more perfect.
After some discussion, the final battle plan had some detailed modifications. Seeing that there was no problem, Zhang Mingwei ended the military discussion and the entire army began to take action.
………………
Wu Sangui and other five groups of guerrillas moved back and forth in the triangle area of Dongming, Yanjin, and Huaxian, and from time to time went south to harass Yuan Zongdi's troops.
On this day, when they were resting in Yanjin, a messenger suddenly arrived to report to the country.
They had been looking forward to it for a long time and immediately went out of camp to greet them.
"It turns out that Mr. Liu is here, please hurry up and invite me!"
"I don't know what the Duke's orders are, but I will definitely follow them!"
"Lord Liu, it's been a hard journey!"
"..."
The person who came was Liu Jin, who had been contacted before. Looking at these five famous guerrillas, he felt very happy. But he knew it in his heart. The reason why they are so enthusiastic is only because the Duke is behind him, not because of him.
Although in the Battle of Xinle, he was the main reason for leading the troops to attack Zuo Liangyu's rebels and causing the collapse of Zuo Liangyu's army, it was only that battle and his reputation did not come out. Therefore, he secretly made up his mind in his heart that one day, he will make you respect him because of himself.
Soon, he arrived at the Chinese army's tent and said seriously to Wu Sangui and others: "The military order of the Duke of State requires you to wait until you lure the enemy into the urn. This will be your first success. The specific deployment is as follows..."
As soon as Wu Sangui and others heard his opening words, they became serious and listened carefully to his next explanation.
"...The Duke said that in this battle you must inflict pain on Yuan Zongdi's troops, and pretend that you are bitten by them if you don't have time to retreat, so as to attract as many thieves as possible." Liu Jin said this. , glanced at the current five generals, and asked, "If you have anything to add, please bring it up in person. Once implemented, it will be a mountain of military orders, and there will be no room for any mistakes!"
Wu Sangui and others looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. The Duke's military order has clearly stated what to do wherever he goes and to what extent he should do it. There is even a point where the five of them can decide what to do, as long as the goal is achieved.
In short, they were very surprised by this combat order. In the past, I had never heard that the coach's military orders were so clear.
Suddenly, they were full of confidence in the upcoming battle. I was thinking in my heart, no wonder the Duke of Guo was able to defeat Zuo Liangyu’s rebel army at once, but it can be seen from this military order that the Duke of Guo really knows how to fight!
Wu Sangui and others also understand that their contribution will depend on how many thieves they can lure into the urn.
In this regard, the five of them are also used to fighting, and they have fought with thieves for so many days, so they naturally know how to fight in order to attract more thieves into the urn.
After some deliberation, the military order began to be executed within the time set by the Duke.
……………………
Yuan Zongdi didn't know all this. Although he also sent out scouting horses, most of his scouting horses were engaged in night-time confrontations with Wu Sangui and others. He couldn't even figure out where the main force of Wu Sangui and others was, let alone the main force of the Beijing camp who was still far away.
"It was reported that the army attacked Chenqiao Town again. When Niu Wancai's troops were pursuing it, they were ambushed by his infantry in Zhujiazhai and suffered a lot of losses." Tan Ma reported urgently, "But fortunately we have caught them. Please also ask General, send troops immediately to destroy this army!"
At this point, he roughly reported the casualties.
When Yuan Zong heard this for the first time, he was shocked and angry at first. These officers and soldiers were like brown candies, popping up from time to time to bite him. Although he has stationed a large number of cavalry troops on the north bank, the other party also dispatches cavalry troops. They move quickly and are always escaped by them.
There were several times when Yuan Zongdi was so harassed that he wanted to give up on the north bank of the Yellow River. However, the strength of the opponent's troops is so great that if he really wants to give up, he won't be laughed out of his wits by others.
Unexpectedly, this time the opponent unexpectedly dispatched infantry and ambushed their pursuers, causing heavy losses. But fortunately, Niu Wancai is not a vegetarian. He is one of the top generals under his command and has also fought in wars for many years. Although he suffered a disastrous defeat, he led his cavalry to bite the enemy's infantry.
Therefore, Yuan Zongdi felt a sense of relief. As long as this annoying imperial army was killed this time, the loss of men and horses would be considered worthwhile.
Excitedly, he quickly arrived in front of the map, and after observing the strength of Zhujiazhai a little impatiently, Yuan Zong slapped Zhujiazhai with his first slap, with a ferocious face, as if his slap could kill that extremely powerful person. The annoying imperial officers and soldiers shouted sternly: "This time, I finally caught you, how can you escape?"
After saying his hateful words, he immediately gathered the main force of the entire army, crossed the river northward, and rushed to the north of Zhujiazhai, leaving only 10,000 old and weak people to stay in Kaifeng with a bluff strategy.
In order to achieve the goal of annihilating this imperial army in one fell swoop, he also mobilized troops from other places on the north bank of the Yellow River to outflank them.
After giving the order, it was really powerful, about 30,000 people, swarming towards the north.
Such a big movement could naturally be seen clearly on the top of Kaifeng City, but they had no idea what to do.
The troops in Kaifeng city do not have the ability to fight in the field. If the enemy outside the city is just feinting, it is to lure them out of the city. If they fall into the trap, it will inevitably lead to heavy losses, and the defense force of Kaifeng City will definitely be stretched thin, which means that it will be dangerous for the bandits to attack the city in large numbers.
Therefore, Gao Mingheng, who came to the top of the city after hearing the news, heard Chen Yongfu explain the situation and decisively ordered: "Just wait and see what happens!"
Chen Yongfu had known that this would be the order. He reminded with a serious face: "Sir, I estimate that Wu Sangui and the others are most likely in trouble. If there are no reinforcements, I am afraid they will be defeated by the thieves, and we will lose another support in Kaifeng." military!"
After hearing this, Gao Mingheng shook his head and said, "Why do you think so? Maybe this is a trick by a bandit!"
"Sir, please see, those thieves are all impatient to leave the camp and head north. It's possible that they are doing this because of something good!"
Gao Mingheng listened and observed carefully. It was exactly what Chen Yongfu said. Suddenly, his face became even more ugly. However, in the end, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, safety is the most important thing. Wu Sangui and the others are all veterans. I believe they can definitely get through the difficulties even if something happens."
Having said this, he looked to the west and saw no movement, so he said bitterly: "Then why hasn't Sun Chuanting made any movement? I'm going to impeach him!"
Chen Yongfu on the side listened and remained silent. Although he knew that Sun Chuanting was far away in Qin and it would take time to fight all the way, he also understood why Mr. Gao said that.
Because the food supply in Kaifeng City was very tight, even if King Zhou had opened his warehouses and had already rationed the supply, it was already on the verge of danger.
How long can Kaifeng last? Thinking of this, Chen Yongfu sighed in his heart, there was no hope!
