Xu Yinghe found a few henchmen, spent almost three hours, and after some deduction, selected the river valley area on the boundary between Shandong and Henan.

No matter where you enter Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you must cross the river, and as long as you cross the river, there will be an opportunity for ambush.

After deducing for a long time, after making sure that nothing was wrong, Seo Young-hyuk began to arrange. Leaving some of the men and horses to continue to attack, the rest of the men marched day and night, rushing to the ambush site with all their might.

In order to ensure secrecy, this time Xu Yinghe did not notify the troops stationed in various places to cooperate, and used his old team and the newly trained original army of Shandong, with a total of more than 25,000 people.

The 25,000 against the 50,000 people on the big donkey did not have an advantage in numbers, but in terms of weapons and combat effectiveness, they steadily gained the upper hand. Coupled with this unexpected ambush, even if it can't be wiped out, it will definitely be able to wipe out a large part of it.

Let's talk about Zhang Dadonkey, this guy was originally an ordinary villager under Rizhao County, with a stout body and great strength, plus he knows some superficial martial arts moves, and his reputation is not small. It's a pity that it's not a good reputation, it's a bad reputation.

This guy relied on his ability to fight, gathered more than a dozen nearby idlers, and wandered around all day long, causing trouble.

When the drought occurred, the local people had a grain grabbing incident, and the government sent people to suppress it, and the people who grabbed the grain suffered heavy casualties, including Zhang Dadon's father, who went to grab grain.

This did not have a big impact on Zhang Dadonkey, and he couldn't get food in the village, so he ran to the county seat with a group of idle men to mess around. But he forgot that his father was dying of hunger when he was alone at home. As a result, his father followed the villagers to rob the granaries of large families, and was dragged by the government to behead directly.

Zhang Dadonkey didn't have much feeling about his father's death, but he thought that he was also a character, and he had to do something when his father died, otherwise he would be laughed at by others.

So, this guy returned to the village with his men, and after the imperial army left, he robbed the big family in the village.

He stole too much grain, so he divided part of the grain and secretly sold the rest to local grain merchants.

Zhang Dadonkey made a lot of money at once, and the gold and silver spent in vain immediately changed his vision dramatically. It turns out that doing this kind of thing is so expensive.

This guy mobilized his subordinates to encourage those who were about to starve to death to join their team to grab food, originally wanted to collect more people, but in the end they collected more and more, and finally developed into the largest gangster in Shandong.

After having tens of thousands of people under his hands, Zhang Dadonkey's ambition was completely stimulated, attacking the county seat, robbing the grain, gold and silver, and beauties of large households, and those ordinary people who were originally very ordinary people in this process of constantly robbing and robbing, gradually became fierce and terrible, snatching things and killing people, without mercy.

Originally, Zhang Dadonkey wanted to occupy the county seat as a prestige, but the imperial army came over immediately.

He thought that the tens of thousands of people under his command could not defeat the 10,000 people in the imperial court, the idea was very beautiful, but the result was very cruel, and his tens of thousands of troops were chased by the 10,000 troops of the imperial court and fled in all directions.

If it weren't for the fact that those guys from the imperial army didn't continue to chase after capturing the county, it is estimated that Zhang Da Donkey would have been destroyed long ago.

After a defeat, Zhang Dadonkey also understood things very well, knowing that his gang of miscellaneous troops was not the opponent of the imperial army, and began to play hide and seek with the imperial army. Relying on his familiarity with the ground in Shandong and all kinds of messy human relationships, he was able to escape the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army every time.

However, since a guy surnamed Xu was sent by the imperial court, life has been sad all of a sudden.

This surnamed Xu didn't play any tricks with Zhang Dadonkey, so he compressed Zhang Dadonkey's activity space step by step, and the result was that Zhang Dadonkey was now wandering around Rizhao, and he couldn't go anywhere else, and many key places were garrisoned by imperial troops.

He also sent people to attack some pass cities, but he did not take them with heavy losses.

I was fine when I came, but I can't go back! It is only possible to play hide and seek with the imperial army near Rizhao.

The army of the imperial court advanced a little distance every day, and advanced a little every day, so that the range of their tens of thousands of horses became less and less.

For a while, that Lu Yongting was talking in his ear every day about the prosperity of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, which made Zhang Da Donkey a little moved. According to Lu Yongting, there are plains everywhere in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and it is convenient for the army to move, and there is money over there, Guangling City and Jinling City are even more beautiful women.

Jiangnan is prosperous, and Zhang Dadonkey has naturally heard of it. Now I hope to go to the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River to enjoy it, and in the end, even if it is exterminated by the imperial court, there will be no regrets in life.

Thinking of Jiangnan Girl, Zhang Dadon was itching, so after making up his mind, the preparation time was less than three days, and he set off.

The original army of 50,000, because of the advance of the imperial army, those who died in battle and ran away at night are still about 38,900 people left. These people, dressed in disheveled clothes and armed with all kinds of weapons, formed a scattered line under the urging of Zhang Dadonkey's men, and set off all the way west by night.

Zhang Dadonkey thought that he was very secretive and could hide it from the imperial army. He still smugly thought about the furious look of the imperial army when they found out that they had run away.

But what he didn't know was that as soon as they set off, Seo Young-hyuk got the news.

Seo Young-hyuk's army has arrived at the junction of Henan and Shandong, and the army is advancing towards the predetermined ambush site.

Receiving the news from Lu Yongting, Xu Yinghyuk showed a rare smile on his face. If the ambush can be successful this time, Zhang Dadonkey's group of rogues will be almost wiped out, and the remaining rogues will be much easier to exterminate.

The army continued to march forward, all the way into Henan, and all the ordinary people in the villages they passed through were locked up along the way to prevent them from leaking the news.

After entering the territory of Henan and coming to a place called Wuzuidu, Xu Yinghe asked everyone to start preparing and waiting for the arrival of Zhang Dadonkey.

After the ambush of the army, a few soldiers who were familiar with the local situation were left to pretend to be ferrymen. Of course, these ferrymen will definitely only row boats for Zhang Dadonkey's leaders at that time, and the other ordinary rogues who can swim will directly cross the river, and if they can't, they will just find a way to get a boat. Anyway, there are so many boats on this big river.

On the third day of the army's preparations, according to Xu Yinghyuk's estimate, Zhang Da Donkey's group should have arrived.

But the scouts found no trace, and the fourth day still did not come, and the fifth day was still non-existent. The nearby merchants who wanted to cross the river from here caught a bunch of them.

Xu Yinghe was very angry, could it be that Zhang Da Donkey found out about their ambush, but he came? Or perhaps, Lu Ningting deceived him?
