Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 150
"Arrange a camp for General Zeng!"

Zhu Yixi ordered casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zeng Ying's eyes shifted, and he glanced at King Hanyang curiously, and hurriedly responded.

"Your waist knife!"

After receiving the delivery from the soldiers, Zeng Ying turned her head and followed them.

It's just that this soldier is so strong.

"I'm Chen Dong, and Tian is the commander of the pro-barracks."

Chen Dong said enthusiastically: "The general who takes refuge in our army can be said to have discerning eyes. We, the King of Hanyang, love soldiers like sons. We never withhold payment and rewards are very rich..."

Enduring the buzzing in his ears, Li Dingguo couldn't help but look around.

Although Fengjie City is small, compared with before, it is more closely guarded, there are constant patrols, and the defense and offensive are also repaired extremely high, so the concealment must be even stronger.

"This Zhu Yixi is really cautious."

When they arrived outside the city, they led thousands of riders to a camp. The simple tents were already arranged, and even food and supplies were delivered one after another.

Even, you can see some wine and meat.

"Such a considerate move, no wonder there are so many soldiers and horses gathered!"

Li Dingguo, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Zhu Yixi should not be underestimated.

"You rest here for the night, and I will find a good place for you tomorrow."

Chen Dong said with a smile, "Tell me if you don't have enough wine and meat, I'll go order some for you."

"Enough is enough!" Li Dingguo hurriedly cupped his hands and thanked him: "I'm really sorry for your trouble, you are in charge of the personal barracks, and you live in the city, right?"

"Only the personal soldiers can stay in the city!" Chen Dongruo said nonchalantly: "Fengjie City is too small, after all, we are personal soldiers."

"By the way, don't walk around at night, the patrolling people, even me, can't bother you..."

A few more words of thanks, before Chen Dong left, he couldn't help sighing, "This kid is much more polite than ordinary people."

Li Dingguo looked at the camp, thoughtful.

"General, what's the matter? What did you find out?"

The subordinate hurriedly asked.

"Fengjie City is compact and tight, surrounded by military camps outside the city. It's not that the people are strong and weak, and the soldiers are all above the standard. This battle is not easy to fight."

Li Dingguo said in a deep voice: "Get a general idea of ​​the truth and the truth, let the brothers prepare to leave in the middle of the night, if you stay any longer, there will be loopholes."

"As ordered!"

Sure enough, in the evening, more than [-] troops gathered around in an encircling posture and closely monitored them.

"I knew it was impossible to be unprepared."

Li Dingguo sighed, and immediately arranged for the brothers to rest to relax their vigilance.

Then, in the early hours of the morning, when black and white were handing over, Li Dingguo immediately led the cavalry and charged away, quickly breaking through the encirclement, galloping like lightning.

In the end, there were less than a hundred riders left.

Fengjie City was shocked and angry.

"What? Thousands of you can't stand Qianqi?"

Zhu Yixi had a serious expression: "This cavalry is a formidable enemy."

"Sure enough, he's not Zeng Ying."

At this time, Sun Changzhou suddenly said:

"Although the witness will arrive tomorrow, we can already guess that it is not Zeng Ying."

"The city of Chongqing is at stake. Instead of going to help, Zeng Ying came to us to ask for food."

"Besides, when we met today, he didn't mention the safety of Chongqing, let alone ask His Highness to send reinforcements quickly. This is very abnormal."

When Li Jizu heard the words, he was furious: "This kid, dare to lie to us, who is he? I want to tear him apart."

"No matter who he is, he is capable of escaping the siege we set up."

Zhu Yixi said seriously: "Bold and reckless, and so young, although he took some risks, he is still a good general. In the future, I will definitely capture him."

If it wasn't Zeng Ying, it was either the Western Thieves, or the Ming army from other places, anyway, they couldn't escape his grasp.

"Is the food and grass ready?"

Thinking about it, Zhu Yixi couldn't help asking.

"It will take two more days." Zhu Mou said softly.

The hearts of the generals were shocked, the day when the food and grass arrived was the time to fight.

On June [-]th, [-] shi of grain and grass came from Jingzhou, and they came to Fengjie after untold hardships, and the army was very happy.

This is the food for January.

Zhu Yixi left some people to guard, and set off for Wanxian with the remaining 40,000 people.

And the only ones who enjoy the boat ride are the Firearms Battalion, Fran's Machine Cannon, Tiger Crouching Cannon, and people pulling horses can't do it.

"Report, the front is Wan County, which seems to have been occupied by western thieves, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, comparable to ours."

Scout report.

"West thief?" Zhu Yixi smiled, and said indifferently: "Which kind of western thief is it, so overestimated?"

"I grabbed my tongue and after questioning, I found out that he is Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, led by Zhang Dingguo."

Zhu Yixi's expression froze.

The generals have different expressions.

Bai Wang hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, when the last general followed Li Zicheng, he heard about Zhang Dingguo. He took 24 riders to capture Xiangyang City. Yang Sichang was forced to commit suicide, and the western thieves followed."

"What a courageous Zhang Dingguo!"

Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice, he immediately thought that this person was probably the one who played tricks on him a while ago, no wonder his appearance is similar to him.

24 cavalry dared to take Xiangyang, no wonder they dared to go deep into Fengjie to spy on the military situation.

"Even if Zhang Xianzhong comes personally, I have to make him kneel down."

Zhu Yixi had already heard about Li Dingguo, who had been famous for two years, but now that he saw his courage, he became more and more interested.

Wouldn't it be nice to train a famous general and let him mature as soon as possible?

"Set up camp!"

Zhu Yixi ordered: "Beware of his attack on the camp tonight, and a big battle tomorrow."

"Obey!" The generals suddenly agreed.

Tens of thousands of troops, more than ten miles away from the military camp under Wanxian City, set up camp safely and recuperated overnight.

Li Dingguo watched from a high position, seeing the orderly Ming army, he couldn't help but sighed.

"General, this Ming army looks very different from before."

The lieutenant frowned and said in a low voice.

"Of course!" Li Dingguo sighed softly: "The Ming army before was either a mob, wary of each other. They didn't have many troops, but they were attrition with each other."

"And the Ming army in front of us comes from Sun Chuanting's Qin army. All the generals are single-minded, well-prepared, and trained for a long time. But our enemy, this battle is not so easy to fight."

Speaking of this, Li Dingguo even became a little excited. How long has it been since he met his opponent?
"Then shall we still attack at night?"

The lieutenant asked hurriedly.

"Why don't you go?"

Li Dingguo looked at the densely packed military tents in the distance, and said with a light smile: "What I saw before was all superficial skills, and I have to really understand it. Night attack is the best way to test the depth."

Then, in the middle of the night, Li Dingguo personally led the cavalry to explore the strength of the Qin army again.

With horseshoes wrapped in cloth and horse chews on their mouths, thousands of cavalry quietly left the barracks.

"Damn it, you dug a trench!"

Seeing that Zhang Zhang's ditch was full of spikes, Li Dingguo cursed secretly, and then wandered around, looking for its weak points.

As a result, within a quarter of an hour, they were discovered and the police whistle rang.

Li Dingguo was at a loss, how did I get discovered?
