But in just one night, less than ten miles east of Suqian City, several camps stood on the fields, and three camps with earthen sanitation were like three earthen cities, guarding each other. These were the Zhongyi Army who came north from Qinghe.

At this time, Suqian City had become an empty city. The people inside and outside the city had been scared by the news that the Qing Dynasty had already escaped to the other side of the Yellow River or the countryside, leaving only an empty city. Just when the magistrate was wondering whether to offer the city, Dasu's vanguard officer had already led 8,000 troops to Suqian City. He originally wanted to massacre the city, but after he learned that the Ming army was outside the city, the city could naturally not be slaughtered again. He immediately arranged his subordinates to defend the city and thus control Suqian. Although the soldiers who originally intended to wash the city were extremely dissatisfied with this, they dared to complain when they looked at the enemy ten miles away, and they all came to the city immediately. After all, it was always a good thing to have a wall.

Next, for a whole day, the Annan Army led by Dasu continued to enter Suqian and set up a large camp outside Suqian City. For the Qing army, Suqian had never fallen into the enemy, which undoubtedly gave them a reassurance.

When Dasu, who was on the top of the city, stared at the enemy camp that was vaguely visible in the distance, Laita suggested.

"Sir Da, are you sending troops to attack the camp now?"

"No hurry, don't you see that this Suqian was deliberately thrown to us by Zhu Thief? This Suqian is facing the canal and facing the Yellow River. If we set up the camp in the city and east of the city, then he will naturally be able to cut off the road behind our army. At that time, our Annan army will become a lonely army. Humph, this Zhu is also a soldier!"

However, although it seemed to be praising, there was contempt in his tone, and then Dasu ordered.

"Order to set up a camp on site in the west of the canal..."

As a long-time general on the battlefield, Dasu naturally came up with a solution as soon as possible after seeing Zhu Mingzhong's intention. His response strategy was very simple, which was to separate the military camps from the east and west of the city, so that several large camps could separate the sanitation Suqian. Even the canal, under his command, gathered hundreds of ships accompanying the military, civil and commercial vehicles, thus easily resolving the disadvantages of the past.

"This Dasu..."

After the Qing army's deployment was discovered, it was sent to Zhu Mingzhong as soon as possible. Looking at Dasu's deployment on the sand table, Zhu Mingzhong couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"I'm really a veteran on the battlefield. This first game is barely considered a draw!"

Originally, according to Zhu Mingzhong's original plan, the Zhongyi Army should be west of the canal, but later, among the suggestions of everyone, they chose the east of the city because the east of the city was wider and more suitable to give full play to the strengths of the Qing army.

"The strategy, my subordinates don't understand why we chose the east of the city and the east of the city. Isn't it easier to play the strengths of the Qing cavalry? Moreover, now Suqian is behind the Qing captives, which is equivalent to letting our army reach all disadvantages!"

The person who spoke was Li Wenbai. He was a scholar from Qinghe Academy. He was one of the twenty scholars recommended by Zhu Zhiyu in the academy. He had a thin face, a pale face, and his eye sockets were slightly sunken. However, his eyes were pitch black, and there was a flash of vitality that only young people had. It was precisely because of this that he asked directly.

"Because of this, Dasu knew that he was fighting against the enemy, so he wanted to break the deadlock!"

Zhu Mingzhong smiled. Zhu Mingzhong always regarded the young aides in the Senate office around him as his adviser, and naturally seized the opportunity to teach them, hoping that they would be able to stand alone in the future.

"Break the deadlock?"

"Yes, it's just a breaking situation. Look, how Dasu breaks the situation?"

Looking at the staff members beside the sand table with a smile, Zhu Mingzhong smiled and encouraged with that smile. He needed these young people to grow up on the battlefield. Only in this way can they be able to stand alone in the future.

"Break the deadlock..."

Ma Xiyun, who was originally standing next to the sand table, was muttering this sentence, and then he seemed to figure out something, but the inspiration flashed and he stared at the sand table and said slowly.

"Compared with the temporary construction of the camp, the Suqian County is undoubtedly stronger. Since our army gave up the city, the county town must be used by Dasu. In this way, the camp will inevitably be centered on the county town, and this canal blocks its retreat in the west of the city..."

Ma Xiyun's words were not very loud, and his tone seemed a little unreal. When his words fell, Li Wenbai continued.

"If Dasu wants to break the deadlock, he must divide his troops. This Suqian County seems solid, but if he is divided into inside and outside the city, he will inevitably divide his troops. This canal will separate some of his troops to Hexi..."

"Also, the ten camps of the Qing emperors now are like long snakes, scattered around Suqian City, shaped like long snakes, not coiled snakes!"

Unlike later film and television dramas, tens of thousands of people marching and fighting in ancient times were concentrated in a large camp. Since ancient times, the commander would set up large camps according to the number of troops. Each camp was thousands of people, and the camps were distributed in shape, so that the camps would protect each other to avoid being attacked by the enemy. Even if the enemy attacked the camps, they could only threaten several of them without hurting the root cause.

But now that Dasu broke the deadlock, the snake was flattened, and the camp, including Suqian City, looked more like a long snake formation.

"Administratively, even if it becomes a long snake formation, it may not be that easy for us to break the camp. After all, as a veteran on the battlefield, Dasu must have thought of this..."

"Of course he could think that you didn't see that the distance between his camp and the camp in the east of the city were all based on the city as the screen. Dasu, no matter how many years have been fighting, he naturally knew how to resolve the shortcomings in the terrain, and the canal..."

Pointing at the extra model representing the boat on the canal, Zhu Mingzhong shook his head and said.

"Now his formation is a copper head and iron tail, and tofu waist. But even if we know that his waist is a tofu waist because of the canal, we cannot send a navy army to attack the camp. As long as the camp attacks, they will be attacked by artillery fire in the two wing battalions. It is famous for its novices. Although Dasu is not a famous general of the Qing army, he may be named General Annan, and he must have his own unique features."

Commenting Dasu's response, Zhu Mingzhong then looked at the young people around him who were similar to him.

"We must despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically! Dasu may have created such a copper-headed and iron-tailed array, which makes us dare not use the navy to attack the camp easily, but he ignored one thing. From the beginning, when he entered Suqian City, the overall situation was basically decided!..."

Looking contemptuously towards Suqian City, Zhu Mingzhong sneered.
