What's more, Yuan Zongdi found that the cavalry who could hear the sound of the horses in the distance had been resting there for a long time, but suddenly like a frightened sika deer, they all jumped up, turned over on their horses, and looked like a mess.

Seeing this scene, with his experience of not knowing how many times he had died in the world before, he came to a conclusion in his heart: something must have happened!

Sure enough, the horse came galloping at great speed. At this time, Yuan Zongdi's side could already faintly hear a shout: "There is an ambush...... There is an ambush ......"

There is an ambush?

This conclusion was actually within Yuan Zongdi's expectations. Because in the past, I had actually been ambushed by officials and soldiers many times, and I already had experience.

However, this conclusion was actually unexpected by Yuan Zongdi. Because if there is an ambush, where do the men and horses come from?

The officers and soldiers who have been fighting with him are all encircled by the Yellow River, and in terms of numbers, there are thousands of people, which is also consistent with the news heard before!

Sun Chuanting's department? It's impossible, go around so far, come from Shanxi? It's too far, how convenient it is to get out of Tongguan! The most important thing is that in terms of time, it is impossible! Unless Sun Chuanting can calculate, he knows that the general is going to open the seal again, and he also knows that the general has already divided his troops at this time!

It can't be Sun Chuanting's department, the imperial court governor Ding Qirui, the governor of Baoding, Yang Wenyue and other departments, they are all over there, and they were beaten by the general, and they can also be ruled out!

Yuan Zongdi's heart flashed one thought after another, but he couldn't understand, where did this ambush come from?

It can't be Xiao Yuanying, or Zuo Liangyu's department, right?

Without his orders, all those who heard the shouts of the Tanma began to prepare urgently. The speed of the horse was also fast, and after a while, he rushed to the banner of the commander, and said to Yuan Zongdi in a panic: "Oh no, the official army of the imperial court, at least thirty or forty thousand people, and the cavalry army alone has tens of thousands, and they have already been killed." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed in a few directions.

Although this is a plain, it does not mean that there is really no place for Tibetans.

In this area, there are reed areas that stretch for miles, as well as woods, ravines, small hills, etc., on the plains, which can actually hide people.

At this time, Yuan Zongdi's location was also a high point nearby, and when he looked at it, he saw that far away, an army was approaching. It doesn't come out of one place, but in groups, and eventually it comes together in a long line.

"Where did the imperial court officers and soldiers come from?" Yuan Zongdi was shocked and asked subconsciously.

"Shuai Qi seems to be a character!"

Zhang's surname? Yuan Zongdi's mind was spinning, but he couldn't remember which governor had the surname Zhang.

He was still thinking about it, but Niu Wancai was already shouting in a hurry: "Big brother, if you don't run, it's too late!" ”

Yuan Zongdi was shouted by him, and after coming back to his senses, he didn't say a word, immediately turned over and got on his horse, and fled back quickly.

However, when he turned around, he saw the long column of infantry, and suddenly, his heart ached, and he almost fell off his horse.

Because the infantry army had just arrived in a hurry, they didn't have the strength to run again, and if they were ambushed, it was all over!

It was also at this time that he realized that all this was a conspiracy!

Think about it, whether it's Wu Sangui or Bai Guangen, that one is not famous, it has always been harassed and runaway, how can it be caught this time!

At this moment, Yuan Zongdi, who came back to his senses, couldn't help but feel very remorseful. It should be that the war went too smoothly and lost the vigilance of the early years!

………………

On Wu Sangui's side, he first saw that the thieves were in chaos, and then saw the ambush soldiers led by Xingguo Gong appear, and they were all overjoyed, and they hurriedly moved away from the side car and began to counterattack.

In front of the national government, if you don't behave well, when will you behave well?

Needless to say, Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen, Tang Tong, Ma Ke and Li Fuming all led their subordinates to rush to kill the thief army.

I have to say, they are a bit desperate.

Each person's cavalry is probably less than five hundred horsemen after attrition. However, these five guerrillas insisted on taking 500 riders and running behind the butts of about 7,000 thieves. As for their infantry army, of course, it was to clean up the rogues who couldn't run.

In fact, at this time, the thief army, whether it was cavalry or infantry, had no establishment and no morale. Especially after seeing the ambush soldiers of the imperial court that appeared, it was even more chaotic after seeing that they were elite.

………………

This scene was watched by Zhang Mingwei with a telescope. This battle, from the very beginning, Yuan Zongdi was timed, and it was actually doomed.

It's a bit of a pity that this is still a plain, not a mountain, and it is impossible to say how many rogues and cavalry will be left behind.

When they came out of the Beijing Division, there were only about 25,000 troops in total, and after the Xiao Yuan battalion was incorporated, the strength reached nearly 50,000. The capture after defeating Zuo Liangyu made the cavalry in Zhang Mingwei's hands reach about 12,000.

Now it is these 12,000 cavalry, plus more than 2,000 cavalry from the five guerrilla sides, a total of about 15,000 cavalry, waiting for work, how many rogue cavalry can be cleaned up!

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei put down the binoculars and sighed: "There are still fewer cavalry!" ”

As he spoke, he remembered that Namuji, and he didn't know what happened when he went out to get a horse? If you can get more horses, especially if the war horses come back, the war will be much easier in the future.

Hearing his words, Zhu Yujiao said happily: "Sir, then I will write a piece of music for my father to come over?" ”

Zhang Mingwei listened, turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "Your father doesn't have it either!" Well, it depends on how much can be captured in this battle! ”

Zhu Yujiao listened, and also picked up the telescope in her hand and looked at it for a while, and then put it down and said with a little regret: "If it wasn't discovered by the thief's detective, maybe we would have a greater advantage." ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he shook his head slightly and said, "How can there be such a perfect thing!" In fact, it's not like we've already dealt with a few batches of thieves, it's already okay. It will eventually be discovered, and that is inevitable! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yujiao thought about it, nodded her head, and said seriously: "Mr. is reasonable!" ”

After finishing speaking, an excited smile appeared on her face, and she immediately continued: "This big victory, if my father knows about it, he will definitely be very happy!" I wrote to tell me before, but I underestimated Mr. ”

Before, although the Jingshi side felt that it was too late, he still sent a messenger to warn Zhang Mingwei that he must be careful, and he can't fall for a thief or something. This made Zhu Yujiao a little unhappy, and remembered it in her heart, and finally had that feeling of raising her eyebrows at this time.

Seeing her so happy, Zhang Mingwei became serious and said seriously: "The Battle of Kaifeng, this is just a prologue. The next battle is crucial, and it is far from time to relax! ”

Speaking of which, he didn't care about the battlefield anymore, anyway, the overall situation had been decided, but turned his head to look at Zhu Yujiao, and asked seriously: "According to the information collected before, July and August are the rainy season in the Central Plains, and the matter of grain and grass transfer must be urged more, and no matter how much attention is paid to it!" ”

After a pause, Zhang Mingwei added: "Kaifeng City has been besieged for two months, and the grain and grass problem must also be troublesome. Therefore, the key to the next stage of the war should be the problem of grain and grass! ”

Although Zhang Mingwei was leading troops to fight for the first time, based on his good habits from later generations, a staff team was formed, each with a division of labor. He will also summon his experienced generals to check and fill in the gaps.

Therefore, he was reminded in time of the astronomy and geography involved in marching and fighting, as well as the weight of grain and grass, and kept it in mind.

As soon as Zhu Yujiao heard Zhang Mingwei speak so seriously, she also became serious, and said equally seriously: "Sir, don't worry, since Mr. last explained, I must be staring at this matter." ”

She stared, in fact, Zhou Liu's staring. In this regard, Zhang Mingwei is still relatively relieved.

However, as he said earlier, the issue of grain and grass is the most important thing, there is no doubt about it!

Zhang Mingwei turned his head to look at the battlefield, and saw that there were court officials and soldiers everywhere chasing and killing thieves, and he could see that many thieves had already thrown away their blades and surrendered, but he had an idea in his heart, and immediately turned his head to Zhu Yujiao and said: "In this way, you explain to the local government, and all the people who participated in the transportation of grain will be recorded and handed over to the Jinyi Guard Yamen, and the court will have preferential treatment in the future." ”

At this time, the grain transporters were all temporary labor assigned by the local government, and they were regarded as doing things for the government for free. Zhang Mingwei put forward this statement to improve their enthusiasm!

As soon as Zhu Yujiao heard what he said, she knew what kind of ideas Mr. had. So she said yes right away.

They were talking, and before they knew it, it was dusk.

The setting sun stained the western sky red, and the water of the Yellow River was still yellow and turbid.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, there were court officials and soldiers with torches everywhere, escorting groups of prisoners to watch over them. Most of the cavalry who had chased far away had not yet returned. The results of the battle will probably not be counted until tomorrow.

What happened on the battlefield, Zhang Mingwei actually didn't worry about it when the ambush came out, but was thinking about the battle of Kaifeng in the future. When night fell, he should have slept and slept, without delay.

This made Zhu Yujiao and the others see it, and they couldn't help but secretly sigh that his qi cultivation kung fu is really very powerful! At this time, can you actually fall asleep?

So, when it was the next day, Zhang Mingwei got up full of energy, and then found that his eyes were red when he saw a person. Including Zhu Yujiao, they are all panda eyes.

In such a comparison, Zhang Mingwei really feels that he has improved, of course, it may also be the reason why he has always been in power.

No matter what, he left it behind and began to hold military meetings to hear the return of the results of the war.
