Bolo was shocked when he received the scout's report that the 3,000 cavalry led by Wu Weihua had been completely wiped out by the loyal battalion.

When did the loyal battalion, which was pressed and beaten by itself, have such a strong combat power?

It's incredible!

If it weren't for the repeated questioning, Bolo couldn't believe his ears.

But the scout described it clearly and clearly, so that Bolo had to believe it.

The gratuitous explosions, the screaming shells, and the dense gunfire only prove that this fact that I can't believe is the truth.

So Bolo quickly accepted this fact, and he almost reluctantly allowed himself to accept this fact, because he understood that he could not think about the good place on the battlefield, and only by preparing for the worst could he win!

But Bolo was still surprised, where did the Loyal Battalion get so many artillery, muskets and unprovoked explosions?

In the entire land of China, except for Wu Zheng, who was in the six eastern provinces of Yixing Dynasty, there was a formed firearms army, even if the Qing Dynasty, which now had a million troops, could not gather and invest such a large-scale firearms army in such a small and medium-scale battle.

Bolo instantly felt a dense web of intrigue under his face.

No, this must have something to do with Wu Zheng.

Thinking of this, Bolo shuddered.

He stared at the direction of the retreat of the loyal battalion and the Jiujiang rebel army on the map, and suddenly became enlightened.

Wu Zheng, it's Wu Zheng, it must be Wu Zheng!

In the name of the remnants of the Loyal Battalion of the Western Expedition, he said that he was a crusade, secretly colluded with the Loyal Battalion, and transported a large number of firearms to achieve the purpose of killing people with a knife.

No wonder the Ming army could easily expel the loyal battalion and retreat south, it turned out that this was a conspiracy between the two parties in advance.

The loyal battalion went all the way to the west and all the way south, and the original real purpose was not to retreat, but to flank Guangxin Mansion.

In this way, the purpose of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf can be achieved.

Bolo's reaction was really fast.

But this time, he still guessed the beginning correctly, not the end.

Bolo subconsciously, he still didn't guess that it was Wu Zheng's Northern Expeditionary Army.

This kind of subconscious cause is actually quite normal.

From Hangzhou Mansion to Shaoxing Mansion to Ningbo Mansion, plus the battle when Wu Zheng once crossed south to Fujian for reinforcements, Bolo and Duoduo were deflated at the hands of Wu Zheng four times.

This is not just a shame for Bolo, who has won many battles, but a little ...... Numbness.

Therefore, he subconsciously avoided a head-on battle with Wu Zheng.

In fact, Bolo was in fear, fear to meet Wu Zheng.

Leaders who have been on the battlefield understand this truth, once they are defeated several times in succession at the hands of the same person, they will have an unspeakable fear, and once they meet again, ten percent of their combat power will not be able to exert seventy percent.

There are only two ways to overcome this fear, one is to go around from now on, and the other is to defeat the other in the next battle.

It's a pity that Bolo doesn't have the conditions to defeat Wu Zheng at the moment, so subconsciously, Bolo avoids a head-to-head battle with Wu Zheng.

It's a pity that there is no psychiatrist in this era who can provide relevant counseling to Bolo.

After a moment of thought, Bolo looked up and asked, "Where is the enemy now?" ”

"Back to Dashuai, the enemy has not moved, and he is still stranded in Zhengjiafang."

Bolo ordered, "Pass the order of the commander, gather the army, and carry out a night attack!" ”

Wu Zheng and Bolo's tactical thinking actually has both correct and wrong places.

Right and wrong, in fact, is normal on the battlefield.

The battle is won by who makes fewer mistakes and suffers less, and who responds more quickly.

This upcoming battle is a test of the resilience of both sides.

Bolo had enough troops to turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

His decision was actually correct, the loyal camp came too quickly, the three prefectures of Nanchang, Fuzhou, and Linjiang in the west had been occupied by the loyal battalion, and now in the north, the loyal battalion came from the south, and the east was Quzhou Mansion, which was Wu Zheng's Yanzhouwei sphere of influence.

Guangxin Province was already under siege on three sides, and the reinforcements from Fujian would not arrive until at least six or seven days later.

If it were in the past, the loyal battalion did not have such a large number of firearms, and Bolo would definitely choose to continue to be steady, holding on to the city and waiting for reinforcements.

But now, it is definitely not possible to defend the city.

After all, Shangrao City is only a government city, and no matter how much it is repaired and reinforced, it cannot become the scale of a provincial capital.

Once the loyal battalion is in the city, it will be difficult for the defenders to exert their due combat power.

Therefore, Bolo chose to take the initiative and launch a night attack to turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

……。

Zhengjiafang.

When night falls, the town is brightly lit.

The smell of blood during the day still hangs over the town and lasts for a long time.

That damn beast Wu Weihua's body has been cut into a pair of bones, but there is still no one to bury it.

The soldiers dragged his body and kneeled it in front of the large tombs of the people outside the town, holding a wooden stick against the back of the spine to prevent it from falling.

The flesh is discarded around its carcass, which will attract wild dogs to devour and gnaw.

All this will be the retribution it deserves.

In an ancestral hall on the east side of the large drying field.

Wu Zheng and a group of generals were deliberating.

The generals sat upright one by one, and the grief and indignation on their faces had disappeared.

Instead, there is confusion and incomprehension.

"Lord Wang, our army should be taking advantage of the great victory and attacking Shangrao City overnight, why do you want to rest here for one night?" Li Guo was really anxious, in fact, he already felt that something was wrong when he was in the big sunyard at noon.

Wu Zheng's performance was too abnormal. Yes, seeing the people of the whole town being brutally slaughtered by the Qing army, everyone felt indignant.

But this should not affect the end goal.

As long as Shangrao City is captured, revenge can be avenged more thoroughly.

And when the time comes, it will be too late to come back and bury the people, so why rush for a day and a half and miss a good opportunity to attack Shangrao City?

Li Guo couldn't help it after all.

However, the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army lowered their eyes one by one, and their faces were calm, as if they had not heard Li Guo's questioning of Wu Zheng.

It's not that they don't want to ask, but in their hearts, Wu Zheng's prestige has reached its peak.

In the past four years, Wu Zheng has experienced countless vicious battles, but the final result is the same, that is, victory.

Today's battle was even more hearty, 3,000 infantry, defeated 3,000 cavalry, except for a few who accidentally sprained their ankles during the charge, there was no casualty in the Northern Expeditionary Army in this battle.

This kind of record is enough to be proud of the world.

Who can question Wu Zheng?

That's just the Li who has just been attached.

Of course, Li Guo didn't have bad intentions, he just regretted missing a good opportunity to expand the fruits of victory.

Wu Zheng smiled and looked at Li Guo, "This king wants to ask General Li, if he is transposed with Bolo, how should General Li deal with our army's siege?" ”
