The night is getting deeper, and when the time comes to midnight, the emperor died, and the Jingshi, who forbade feasting and drinking, should have been silent at this time, but now there are many people abnormally, and a large number of soldiers from the three battalions go to the streets to patrol, and in the dark corners, there are also many characters going in and out, passing news.

The whole capital seems to have this undercurrent, and under the calm surface is a dangerous wave, but most people can't feel this wave, and when they sleep sweetly, the entire Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shattering changes.

Countless noble bureaucrats who need the people to look up to them on weekdays are staying at home at the moment, sleepless all night, anxiously waiting for the last news. They knew from the unusual activities of other people that there had been a great change in the palace, but no one could say what the change was, only that there were many more soldiers on the streets, constantly patrolling, and prohibiting people from traveling.

Uncle Wang Sheng, the first assistant Fang Congzhe, the core of the other two parties, and the Donglin Party members are all looking forward to the final result. Even Wang Wenyan, who was far away in Tianjin, supervising the shipbuilding day and night, seemed to feel something at this moment, looking in the direction of the western Jingshi, and he vaguely seemed to feel what was happening.

"Forget it, even if something happens, I can't control it, or complete the task assigned by His Highness." Stretching his waist, Wang Wenyan, who looked tired, walked towards the large clippers that were being outfitted again, "After tonight, this ship is finally completed, I hope it has not delayed the major affairs of His Highness." ”

Forbidden City, west of Ciqing Palace.

The bright moon hung high, and the two teams of people and horses faced each other silently under the cold moonlight.

Zhu Youxiao rode on a horse, behind him were two hundred cavalry, and behind him, there were three finished glyph-shaped phalanxes, the phalanx was densely populated, almost occupying the open space here, leaving only a two-person wide aisle in the middle.

On the opposite side of Zhu Youxiao, there was also a group of people waiting for the battle, first several rows of archers, who were waiting with their bows at the moment, shooting their feet. Behind the archers, there were rows of soldiers who were a little impetuous, and finally there were Xi Li and Cao Huachun, a group of people who had no combat effectiveness, and behind them was a palace gate, called Baoshan Gate.

In front of the archer, Mr. Li was still posing, he was holding a sword, and from time to time he gestured to the opposite side, as if he wanted to stab Zhu Youxiao to death with such a sword, and next to him was Wang Dangdang, who came to accompany him, the only reliable person in this group of people was checking the information, and the distance of dozens of meters on both sides was easy to see clearly in the bright moonlight.

"That's called only eight hundred?" Looking at the dark shadows on the opposite side, Wang Dare wanted to scold his mother depressedly, where did this information come from, does this look like there are only eight hundred people in front of him?

At this time, Xi Li also came over to have fun.

"General Wang, why don't you attack and exterminate the traitors on the other side!" Xi Li walked over and said with a big sting, looking at her appearance, it seemed that the people on the other side were all local chickens and dogs, which could be destroyed with a snap of their fingers.

After hearing this question, Wang Dangdang was almost stupidly cried by Xi Li, eldest sister, are you blind, there are so many people opposite, not much worse than us, can they be destroyed so casually? Or do you not know how to count, and you can't tell the difference between eight hundred and two or three thousand?

"Qi Yu Niangniang, there are a lot of people on the other side, I'm afraid there are no less than three or four thousand, and you need to figure it out slowly." Wang Dangdang said stubbornly.

"Three or four thousand?" Xi Li's eyes widened, his face full of incredulity, "Didn't you say that there were only eight hundred, why did it become three or four thousand now?" How did you become a general, you can't even figure out the number of enemies. ”

Cough!

Wang Dangdang was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, obviously you told me that there were only 800 people, but now you blame me for not figuring out the number of enemies, and Lao Tzu has just taken over. He wanted to spray it like this, but when the anger reached his lips, it turned into a cry of words, "Niangniang is angry, it is the last general's dereliction of duty." ”

"Hmph, it's good to know, don't make meritorious service without guilt, and destroy the other party for me." Xi Li made a cold face and took Cao Huachun to find Li Sancai, who was still posing on his own. Several people began to discuss the way, the situation at the moment made Xi Li a little confused, although she put the responsibility on Wang Dangdang, but she was not really confused, and now the situation of the confrontation between the two sides was very unfavorable to them.

And this discussion is more than half an hour.

Little by little, it was almost midnight, and he waited silently, Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry at all. Now the advantage is on his side, as long as the sky is dawn, he can rightfully succeed to the throne, and any will and edict abolishing the prince and the like are all fake, and they can't stand verification at all. As long as he goes to the Qianqing Palace, check the living notes, and all lies will be exposed.

In addition, there is no long-range attack means on his side, and it is not impossible to win if the spear phalanx is really to drive over, but the casualties of charging in the rain of arrows must be very large, and it is really impossible to win. Since the other party is not in a hurry, just wait slowly, Zhu Youxing has this patience.

On Xili's side, Wang Dangdang is an understanding person, as long as he sends a team of men and horses to entangle the opponent's cavalry, so that they can't run here, the advantage is on their side. After that, as long as you use the archers on your side, in view of the opponent's lack of long-range shortcomings, slowly force over, enter the range of the bow and arrow, and then use the mangu tactics of the grassland to ride slowly, and you will definitely be able to defeat the opponent.

As long as the opponent suffers a large number of casualties and the formation is chaotic, the victory is set.

It's a pity that insiders understand that the king of people dares to have no decision-making power, and it is useless to speak, and a few who have decision-making power are there to think about it in the long run.

Xi Li is a woman, when the number of people is several times that of the other party, she is naturally full of confidence, but when she finds that the opponent is not much less than her side, and there are two teams of cavalry that look strong and mighty, she is afraid to hesitate.

And Cao Huachun, who is quite dependent on Xili, is very proficient in power politics, but he doesn't know anything about military affairs, and he doesn't have any good ideas at all.

As for the future first assistant Li Sancai, who was pinned on by the two of them, Mr. Li is also blind at the moment, God knows what to do when encountering this situation, Sun Tzu didn't say how to fight in this kind of aisle with walls on both sides.

Xi Li regretted a little in her heart, looking at the other party's appearance, it was obviously not a day or two that she had been prepared, and she could get so many people in the palace quietly, and she knew that she must be trying to do what she was doing now, but now it was good, she jumped out by herself, and just gave the other party an interface, and the original rebellious move became justified.

She has a high status, and she still has emotions in her heart, so she can't discuss things normally at all, and even Wang Dangdang next to her was scolded by her several times when she wanted to come over to make suggestions. After thinking about it for a long time, when the mouths of several people were dry, Xi Li finally calmed down, and remembered Wang Dangdang next to her, she turned her head and asked Wang Dangdang, who was in a hurry next to her, "General Wang, what should I do at this moment?" ”

Hearing Xi Li's question, Wang Dangdang was overjoyed, he had long wanted to make suggestions, but the other party didn't let him speak at all, and he was scolded every time he came up and didn't speak.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, at this time, our army should suppress the formation, slowly press over, squeeze the opponent's space, so as not to let the opponent's cavalry run, and then ....... with bows and arrows" As soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Dangdang suddenly gushed endlessly, and poured out the thoughts in his heart at once.

However, before he could finish speaking, a shout of killing suddenly came from a distant place in the south, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
