Before the sky was completely dark, Tulai's central army arrived in Zhouzhuang Town.

Tu Lai fell asleep after being tired for a day.

The other generals set up camps and set up defenses.

The leader Ma Laxi personally inspected the four directions. Although he was exhausted, he did not dare to relax at all.

He has been in the army for many years, and has followed Prince Ajige of England and Prince Zheng Jirgalang of the United States. It can be said that he has fought countless times.

The people from the Han army flag of the former army were stationed on the west side of the town, and Ma Laxi decided to go and see it in person.

During the day, Tu Lai shot and killed a whole Niu Lu's coat, and he was worried that it would affect the morale of the army.

When he brought his personal guards to the west of the town, Ma Laxi faintly heard a faint crying sound lingering in the Han army flag camp.

At night, it sounds a bit creepy at first glance.

Ma Laxi knew that the morale of the Han army flag might have collapsed.

If they are attacked at this time, these slaves will disintegrate with one blow, and will instead disrupt the central army.

"Shen Ling, do you want to join the camp?"

"If you don't go in, go and report the situation to the vice-president Ild. You guys will lead you to the Han army flag camp. If there is any change, you will all shoot."

After Ma La hoped to give orders, he turned his head and suddenly found that there were eyes staring at him at the gate of the Han army flag.

After a closer look, it was King Huaishun Geng Zhongming.

The one who died today was his subordinates.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time, and Geng Zhongming's eyes were very cold, staring at Ma Laxi like he was staring at the dead.

"King Huaishun, you're not asleep so late?" Ma Laxi shouted as he rode on his horse.

Geng Zhongming did not answer, and held his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Ma Laxi smiled and left by hitting a horse.

The crying sounds in the camp made Geng Zhongming feel upset and it was difficult for him to fall asleep, so he had to go out for a walk.

He couldn't suppress such things, nor could he ask for an explanation for his dead subordinates.

Even Ma Laxi, who was just outside the gate of Zhumaying, had to give him three points of face.

Although Ma Laxi is just a sect leader, he has made countless achievements in his military affairs. He was once the governor, but later he was demoted to Jialazhangjing because of a mistake, which is the sect leader.

Moreover, he has a deep experience and has followed many important officials and generals of the court, which is far beyond what he is like, King Huaishun.

This is also why Tulai relies heavily on Malaxi.

Geng Zhongming knew that Ma Laxi was coming to patrol the camp, so he must be worried about him, so he went out of the camp himself to confront him.

"Yuntai, go back. It's helpless to lose the artillery today."

Behind him, Kong Youde walked over and patted Geng Zhongming's shoulder to comfort him.

"Oh!" Geng Zhongming sighed deeply, no reward for his merits, and he would kill him if he made a small mistake. This is Baoyi, and this is slave!

Outside the camp, the Qing army shouted and shouted. Geng Zhongming knew that he was here to monitor them, so he could only smile helplessly.

Kong Youde pulled Geng Zhongming back to the camp and started drinking again.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the magpies fly south.

If you walk around the tree three times, which branches can you rely on?

At the foot of the mountain, Yan Yingyuan leaned against a big tree, chewing dry cakes in his mouth, looking at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes were so clear.

The war horses beside them shook their manes and chewed the fresh grass on the ground, and grunted from time to time.

Around the soldiers, lying or sitting, silly eating dry food, so tired that no one spoke.

Wang Gongluo and Shao Kanggong each counted the number of people in the headquarters.

Zhong Muli hurried over and sat down next to Yan Yingyuan so tired that he was sitting next to him. After a while, he said weakly: "Dian Shi, all those who fell behind have been brought back."

"Okay, let's rest for another hour and the whole army will enter the mountains to set up defenses. Our time is very tight."

"I understand. A stick of incense was a return from the whistle cavalry, and a Tartar Ranger was found at the foot of Jishan."

Yan Yingyuan narrowed his eyes instantly and thought to himself that it was coming so fast!

So he quickly stuffed the remaining cakes in his hand into his mouth, swallowed them whole, and got up and called the generals.

"The Tartars rode down to the foot of Jishan. I guess the brigade should have arrived in Zhouzhuang. We have to arrange it overnight." Yan Yingyuan said, picking up the small branches and drawing it on the ground.

Everyone watched, and on the ground, Yan Yingyuan simply drew the location of the four mountains.

"Selling mountains can curb the Qing army from circling north, and a part of them needs to guard it."

"I'll go!"

After Yan Yingyuan finished speaking, Shao Kanggong took the initiative to ask for the fight.

"Okay! Gong Kang led Chengjiang Camp to set up defenses on sale in Shanshan. Gong Li led Tianqing Camp to set up an ambush. Someone led his personal guards to guard the mountain road entrance."

"The last general will receive the order!"

Yan Yingyuan then told everyone in detail about the plan, and there was a mountain road between Yishan and Qishan. If the Qing army walked this way, Chengjiang Camp would be in the north and Tianqing Camp would be in the south, and both sides would be ambushed.

If the Qing army circulated the north side of Yishan, the Chengjiang Camp carried out ambush and restrained them. Tianqing Camp went out of the mountain and rushed eastward to attack the Tatar rear army, destroying their supplies and artillery.

If it weren't for the fact that the troops were too small, Yan Yingyuan even wanted to wipe out the Qing army.

He is sure if he has another ten thousand soldiers!

The dew is heavy in the middle of the night and the cold air is misty.

The Ming army began to go to their respective positions.

The movement of entering the mountain alarmed the whole day and scattered.

Since the soldiers of both battalions were locals and went up the mountains and down the water since childhood, they were all good at forests and they swam rapidly in the forest.

In order not to lose the team, each leader is responsible for raising the fire to lead the way.

Yan Yingyuan led five hundred personal soldiers to the intersection of the mountain to take charge.

In the second half of the night, the Ming troops of each unit arrived at their respective locations.

Gong Shao Kang led Chengjiang Camp to camp and set up camps on the mountain, arranged traps and traps, and prepared to stick here.

There are streams on the mountain, so there is no need to worry about water sources. I didn’t bring much dry food on this trip, so I could only find food in the forest.

Wang Gongluo led his army to station on the northern foot of the Qishan Mountain. While sending people to explore Jishan, he began to build a tool trap.

"Remember, if you find Tartars in Jishan, don't disturb them, just record the number of people in the location!"

"Abide by the order!"

Several soldiers who were originally old hunters in the mountains were selected by the king and Gongluo and sent to Jishan for investigation.

The prince was a little braver. He felt that the Tartars would not cross mountains and ridges, so he might ignore Jishan. If he could lurk to Jishan, he might raid the Tartars' butt.

Several soldiers walked lightly and flew towards Jishan.

Just as the Ming army was setting up defense lines overnight, the Qing army was sleeping soundly.

After Malaxi finished patroling the camp, he returned to the tent to rest. Before he could lie down, the deputy governor Ild came over.

"What's wrong?" Ma Laxi was so sleepy that she yawned. Seeing that Ild was in a hurry in the middle of the night, she couldn't help but say strangely.

"Just just now, the scout returned to the camp and said that it seemed that he had found a figure on the mountain to the west. It was too dark and they did not dare to enter the mountain." Ild said, sitting in front of the brazier in the tent, taking off his boots, and roasting his white feet soaked in water when crossing the river during the day.

Ma Laxili pondered slightly and said, "It should be the villagers of Zhouzhuang who have all hid in the mountains. Be careful tonight and send someone to search the mountains when dawn."

"Okay, then report this to the governor when it's dawn." Ild said, carrying his smelly feet.

"You wake him up now, be careful." Ma Laxi quipped in a low voice.

Ild smiled helplessly. He was extremely reluctant to follow Tu Lai to fight this time, but there was no way. The general of the state-controlled country bowed to Yintu and told him to seize the opportunity to make a contribution and quickly take the word "deputy" of the deputy governor, and there will be few opportunities in the future.

Afterwards, the two of them briefly chatted about the march route after dawn in the tent, and Ild left.

Ma Laxi also seized the time to take a break. He was so tired.
