Looking at the backs of General Huang Degong and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there was a hint of hesitation on the faces of the two people in front of them.
"Your Highness, you want to imitate Chengzu!"
Prince Zheng sighed and asked Li Xuanmin who was standing aside.
"What are you going to do, Mr. Li?"
"I have no idea."
Li Xuanmin had a wry smile on his face, looked at King Zheng in front of him and said, "Where is His Highness King Zheng?"
"I haven't thought it through yet! Let's take a look first!"
King Zheng let out a long sigh.
…………
Of course it was impossible for Zhu Cixi to go back to rest.
At this time, he discussed the strategy for the next day with Huang Degong.
"General, what do you think we should do next?"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Huang Degong aside with a solemn expression and asked.
"Now we have basically wiped out all the intruders in Huaiqing Mansion. The intruders will definitely not give up!"
Zhu Cixiang's eyes showed a serious light as he looked at Huang Degong beside him.
Huang Degong nodded.
"Your Highness is right!"
He stared at the power distribution map in front of him, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
"There are two possibilities now."
"1: The intruders from Pingyang Prefecture sent troops to surround us together with the intruders from Shunde Prefecture. We have too few people after all. They only need to besiege us for a period of time until the food and grass in the city are exhausted, and we will collapse.
"
"Two: They attack the target we must rescue and force us to confront them head-on! Then with the huge numerical gap, they will annihilate us in one fell swoop!"
After all, General Huang Degong spent half his life in the military, and he had anticipated many things.
Zhu Cixiang was also convinced by what he said.
really!
Now these two possibilities are the most likely.
"I think the second possibility is more likely! Are the thieves preparing to attack the capital for the second time?"
Zhu Cixiang frowned.
"Probably not. The bandits failed to attack the capital last time, so they probably won't go again."
General Huang Degong shook his head.
"So General Huang thinks it's the first one?"
Zhu Cixiang asked General Huang Degong in front of him.
General Huang Degong shook his head again. He frowned and looked at the map in front of him, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
The spurs tapped gently on the map in front of him, and soon, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
The spur in his hand suddenly pointed to a point on the map.
"Linzhang!"
Huang Degong said with a serious face to Zhu Cixiang in front of him: "The intruder's destination is definitely Linzhang! After General Liu Shen fought with Commander Lin and Liu Zongmin, their strength should have suffered a lot.
And Linzhang is just a small county town. The city walls are very thin and cannot stop the onslaught of tens of thousands of intruders!"
After hearing General Huang Degong's words, Zhu Cixiang's expression condensed slightly.
He quickly looked at the map, and after briefly analyzing the situation between the enemy and ourselves, Zhu Cihong was sure.
There is a high probability that Li Zicheng will attack Linzhang!
After being flustered for a while, Zhu Cixiang soon calmed down. He looked at Huang Degong in front of him and said, "Since we know that the thief's destination is Linzhang, can we use a trick?"
"Oh? What do your highnesses think?"
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Huang Degong pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and asked.
"We took some elite cavalry and marched at night to avoid enemy spies and arrived at Linzhang early! When the intruders were attacking the city, we took the opportunity to attack the intruders from all directions! Then Lin Yi and Liu Shen generals in the city
They rushed out! Outflanked the intruders in front and behind them! Headed towards their central army!"
Zhu Cixiang's eyes flashed with light, he looked at General Huang Degong and said.
Hearing Zhu Cihong's words, General Huang Degong was stunned for a moment.
I have to say that His Highness's method is quite good.
"But... Your Highness, we don't have many horses in the military camp... We can barely make up a cavalry force of 10,000 people..."
"fine!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly, looked at General Huang Degong in front of him calmly and said.
"My strategy requires a quick word! Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, attack the Chinese army, enough to confuse them! Although it is not enough to annihilate all the intruders, even if we take away all the troops, there will be no
There’s a way to annihilate the intruders, right?”
"really!"
General Huang Degong nodded.
"Okay! Let's set off directly! Get in touch with Lin Yi and the others at the foot of Linzhang City earlier!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
After finishing speaking, General Huang Degong pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him and said: "Your Highness is going on this expedition, please don't go."
General Huang Degong said with a smile on his face as he looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
"General Huang."
Zhu Cihong smiled, looked at General Huang Degong in front of him and said, "I'm not going, I'll wait here for you to come back! Of course, I also surrounded the spies who confused the intruders!"
"OK!"
General Huang Degong finally felt at peace.
General Huang Degong is an impatient man, and since the two of them have made a plan, there is no ambiguity at all.
Quickly began to gather elites and war horses in the military camp.
That night, he took ten thousand cavalry and quietly left the city under the cover of darkness, heading straight for Linzhang City...
On the second day.
The results of the battle below Huaiqing Mansion spread in all directions through various messengers.
Because Huang Degong and others were the victorious party, the imperial court was naturally the first to know the news.
"Eight hundred miles urgent! Frontline battle report! Eight hundred miles urgent! Frontline battle report!"
Emperor Chongzhen, who was in the morning court, immediately stood up from his dragon chair.
"Quick, pass it up!"
Emperor Chongzhen said anxiously to the eunuch on the side.
The messenger rushed to the main hall panting, but at this time, no one was holding the messenger accountable for his misconduct in front of the palace.
All the ministers' eyes were fixed on the messenger in front of the hall, who raised the information with both hands.
The eunuch on the side quickly took the information from his hand and handed it to the anxious Chongzhen.
Chongzhen quickly opened the file.
I looked at the information in front of me for a while.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Chongzhen suddenly laughed heartily, his face full of joy.
With excitement in his eyes, he looked at the ministers in front of him and said: "The 1st Battalion of the Prince's Guards and Huang Degong's 1st Battalion of Brave Guards successfully blocked the 10,000 light cavalry led by Liu Zongmin at the Windmill Gorge in the Taihang Mountains.
, killed more than 6,000 enemies, captured more than 5,000 war horses, and some other supplies!"
"Big victory!"
Chongzhen shouted excitedly to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The faces of the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty all around suddenly showed joy!
Victory!
And it was a beautiful victory!
At this moment, another sound came from the door of the hall.
"Eight hundred miles urgent! Military intelligence urgent! Eight hundred miles urgent! Military intelligence urgent!"
