As soon as he entered the central military tent, he was immediately startled by the military sand table that occupied most of the central military tent.

However, when they saw closely that this was the terrain north of Kaifeng, they were all very surprised, especially when they saw that there were yellow and black villains on it that marked the enemy and us.

"Duke, how did this do it?" Zhou Yuji said in surprise, "This is really useful!"

Yuan Shizhong had never heard of it before. 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 should be big, and the small should be small, as if the whole place had been reduced.

Lan Tianbao was very happy to see them so surprised. You know, the Duke of the State had already taught him that he could do it next time.

Zhang Mingwei was also quite satisfied with their reaction, so he explained with a smile: "The next one was a decisive battle with Li Zicheng's troops in Kaifeng. Therefore, it took several days to create this military sand table, which is conducive to our discussion of military information."

Speaking of this, he closed his smile and said seriously: "Now, Liu Jin will introduce you to the enemy and our military situation."

Liu Jin held a long habit in his hand. After hearing this, he immediately stepped forward and began to explain to the generals what he heard from Wu Sangui and others.

After the talk was finished, Zhang Mingwei said seriously: "Now, the enemy in Kaifeng City does not know that our army has arrived nearby, so I am going to use this information to deal a heavy blow to the enemy in Kaifeng. The specific strategy is probably like this..."

Then, he took the stick from Liu Jin and began to explain the combat plan he had thought about in the past two days.

When explaining on this military sand table, Zhou Yuji and others accepted the entire combat plan without any obstacles. Therefore, when Zhang Mingwei finished speaking, Yuan Shizhong couldn't help but say: "Duke, our two armies have equal strengths. Even if we fight head-on, Yuan Zongdi will definitely not be able to defeat us! Using this Duke's strategy, Yuan Zongdi will definitely be done!"

"Yes, yes, the Duke of the State has a clever plan, we will definitely win!" Yuan Zhuangfei also echoed when he heard this.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he did not smile proudly. On the contrary, he said to them very seriously: "Our enemy is not just Yuan Zongdi, but the entire coalition forces of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai. This battle is just the first battle, and a bigger battle is behind. Remember not to underestimate the enemy!"

"The last general will obey the order!" Yuan Shizhong and others heard it with the other generals, clasping their fists and responded loudly.

Zhang Mingwei nodded and asked them again, "If you were Yuan Zongdi's unit, how would you deal with it? Remember, the purpose of this battle is to be clear and neat. As generals, you will supplement this combat plan from your perspective."

Before he made a decision, he still maintained his previous style and let them speak freely before the war.

Zhou Yuji and others were already a little accustomed to Zhang Mingwei's military command style, so they were not afraid of checking out the head coach's misses and offending the head coach, or even deliberately looking for trouble, so as to make the combat plan more perfect.

After some discussion, the final combat plan was revised in some details. 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 guerrillas rushed back and forth in the triangular areas of Dongming, Yanjin and Huaxian, and from time to time went south to harass Yuan Zongdi's troops.

On this day, they were resting in Yanjin and suddenly sent a message to the Duke of the State.

They had been looking forward to it for a long time, so they immediately went out to greet them.

"So it's Lord Liu, please invite me!"

"I don't know what the Duke of the State has to give, so I will do as hell!"

"Mr. Liu has worked hard all the way!"

“…”

The person who came here was Liu Jin who had contacted him before. He felt very helpful when he looked at these five famous guerrillas. However, he knew in his heart that the reason why they were so enthusiastic was because the Duke behind him was not because of him.

Although in the Battle of Xinle, he led his troops to raid the rebels of Zuo Liangyu's troops, causing the collapse of Zuo Liangyu's entire army, it was just that battle and his reputation did not come out. Therefore, he secretly made up his mind that one day, you will be respectful because of himself.

Soon after he arrived at the central army tent, he said seriously to Wu Sangui and others: "The military order of the Duke of the State, asking you to lure the enemy into the trap is the first achievement. The specific deployment is as follows..."

When Wu Sangui and others heard what he said at the beginning, they became serious and listened carefully to his next explanation.

"... The Duke of the State said that you must beat Yuan Zongdi's troops in this battle, and you must pretend that you didn't have time to retreat and be bitten by them, so that you can attract as many thieves as possible into the trap." Liu Jin said this, his eyes glanced at the current five generals and asked, "If there is any supplement, it is proposed in person, once it is implemented, it will be a military order that will not allow any mistakes!"

Wu Sangui and others looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. The Duke's military order was clearly stated, and there were explanations for where to go and how much it should be done. There were even places where the five of them could decide how to do it, as long as they achieved their goal, they could also say it.

In short, they were very surprised by this combat order. In the past, I had never heard of the commander's military order, which was so clear.

Suddenly, they were full of confidence in the upcoming battle. They were all thinking in their hearts, no wonder the Duke of the National People could defeat the rebels of Zuo Liangyu's troops in one go. It was only from this military order that the Duke of the National People could indeed fight!

Wu Sangui and others also understood that the amount of their contributions would depend on how many thieves could be drawn into the trap.

In this regard, the five of them were used to fighting wars and had fought with the thieves for so many days, so they naturally knew how to fight so that more thieves could get into the trap.

After some discussion, the military orders began to be implemented within the time set by the Duke of the State.

………………………………………

Yuan Zongdi didn't know all this. Although he also sent a siege, his siege was mostly against Wu Sangui and others at night, and even the main force of Wu Sangui and other troops could not be understood, let alone the main force of the Beijing camp who was still far away.

"Reported that the official army attacked Chenqiao Town again. When Niu Wancai's troops were pursuing, they were ambushed by his infantry again in Zhujiazhai, and the losses were a little too much." The detective reported urgently, "But fortunately they have already bitten them. Please send troops immediately to wipe out this official army!"

Speaking of this, he probably reported the casualties.

When Yuan Zong heard the first time he was shocked and angry, the official army was like candy, and it popped out from time to time and bite him. Although he had already dispatched a large number of cavalry troops on the north shore, the other party was also cavalry troops, which were moving quickly and were always escaped by them.

There were several times when Yuan Zongdi was harassed and wanted to give up the north bank of the Yellow River. However, if the opponent's troops were too strong, he would not be laughed at by others.

Unexpectedly, this time the other party unexpectedly dispatched the infantry and ambushed the pursuers on his side, causing heavy losses. Fortunately, Niu Wancai was not a vegetarian, but a general who was numerous under his command, and he also fought for many years. Although he was defeated, he led his cavalry to tightly grasp the enemy's infantry.

Therefore, Yuan Zongdi felt relieved. As long as he killed this annoying imperial army this time, the lost people would be worth it.

After rushing to the map excitedly, he could not wait to observe the troops in Zhujiazhai, Yuan Zong slapped the Zhujiazhai first, with a ferocious face, as if his slap could kill the extremely annoying imperial army, shouting sternly: "This time, I finally caught you, let's see how you can escape?"

After saying the hatred, he immediately assembled 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, staying in Kaifeng with a bluffing strategy.

In order to achieve the goal of eliminating this imperial official army in one fell swoop, he also mobilized troops from other places on the north bank of the Yellow River to encircle them.

With a command, it was really huge, with about 30,000 people flocking to the north.

Such a big noise can naturally be seen clearly on the head of Kaifeng City, but they have no choice.

The troops in Kaifeng City do not have the ability to fight in the field. If the enemy outside the city just pretends to act, they will lure them out of the city. If they fall into the trap, they will inevitably lead to heavy losses. The guardian power of Kaifeng City will definitely be short of its limit, which means that if the thieves attack the city in large numbers, it will be dangerous.

Therefore, Gao Mingheng, who heard the news from the city, heard Chen Yongfu talk about the situation and ordered: "Watch the change!"

Chen Yongfu had known that it would be this order, so he reminded with a serious face: "Sir, it is very likely that Wu Sangui and the others are in trouble. If there were no reinforcements, they would probably be defeated by the thieves, and we will lose another reinforcement army in Kaifeng!"

Gao Mingheng heard this and shook his head and said, "How can I tell? Maybe this is the trick of a thief!"

"Sir, please see, those thieves went out of the camp and headed north, and they all looked impatient. It is very likely that this is the case if there is a good thing!"

Gao Mingheng heard it and observed it carefully. As Chen Yongfu said, his face suddenly became even worse. However, in the end, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's safe. Wu Sangui and the others are all veterans. I believe that even if they have something to do, they will definitely get through the difficulties."

Speaking of this, he looked west and saw no movement, and then said hatefully: "Why has Sun Chuanting not been moving at all, and he is slow to see him? I will impeach him!"

Chen Yongfu next to him heard this 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 Gao Da said so.

Because the food in Kaifeng City was very tight, even though King Zhou had opened the warehouse and had already provided regular supply, it had already reached the brink of danger.
