"But just let them kill people and go back?"

Wu Zheng said in a deep voice: "What's the hurry? Hold your breath, we're not here to kill these dozens of cavalry! ”

Lu Jincai saw Wu Zheng's face sink and quickly closed his mouth.

The dozens of cavalrymen, after chasing and killing the scouts, also stopped, and did not continue to move towards the slope.

Wu Zheng secretly sighed a pity, but at the same time became vigilant, it seems that there should be more cavalry behind these cavalry hoarding in Zhengjiazhuang, in this way, Zhengjiazhuang is likely to be a trap.

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out behind Wu Zheng, and he ...... if he plunged into it.

The cavalry on the opposite side withdrew, and Wu Zheng returned to the military tent.

Chi Erhan and the other generals immediately returned, and everyone looked at Wu Zheng quietly, waiting for Wu Zheng to make a decision.

After being silent for a moment, Wu Zheng said, "Go back and rest." ”

……。

This night, whether it was Wu Zheng's side or Zhengjiazhuang's side, everyone slept soundly.

In comparison, Wu Weihua is even more restless.

From the moment he found the scouts of the "Loyal Battalion", Wu Weihua knew that this ambush could not be defeated.

If the ambush fails, then a great achievement will be lost.

Of course, Wu Weihua has another choice, which is to cut off the heads of the slaughtered people in the town and kill the good and take the merit.

But the problem is that most of these people are women, children, old and weak, and with Bolo's shrewdness, they can know the details at a glance.

Therefore, Wu Weihua was hesitating whether to settle down and meet the "loyalty camp" opposite.

It's not that he didn't dare, but Bolo had a clear order, and the ambush could not be successful, so he quickly withdrew to Shangrao City.

But Wu Weihua is really unwilling.

He believed that three thousand cavalry would be enough to wipe out the advance of this "loyal battalion" of three thousand men.

When the sky was bright, Wu Weihua gritted his teeth and ordered to send scouts to the opposite side to confirm the strength of the enemy army.

……。

And Wu Zheng is here, although he ordered to rest.

But who can sleep?

There are enemies riding more than 30 miles away, and it is impossible to know the exact number, so it is strange that they can sleep.

Except for the soldiers on guard, almost everyone was undressed and had their guns in their hands.

Wu Zheng was also pondering, and when he confirmed that the enemy cavalry was ambushed in Zhengjiazhuang, Wu Zheng sighed instead.

Now that the enemy has appeared, there is nothing to be afraid of.

What Wu Zheng was considering was whether to take the initiative to attack or defend in place.

If you take the initiative to attack, you will suffer heavy casualties.

Defend in situ, and fear that the enemy cavalry will retreat to Shangrao City.

This hesitation, unconsciously, the sky lit up.

Suddenly, Lu Jincai rushed in and reported: "Lord Wang, there are more than ten enemy horsemen rushing towards me. ”

Wu Zhengyi raised his head and asked, "Only more than ten rides?" ”

"Yes, there's no one behind them."

"Scouts, leave them alone, as long as they don't go downhill, don't shoot them."

Wu Zheng lowered his head and thought about it again, it seemed that the other party was not reconciled.

Wu Zheng unconsciously smiled, as long as the other party was unwilling, it would be easy to do.

"Passing on the king's order, all the ministries are on guard on both sides of the road."

Lu Jincai was stunned for a moment, "Lord Wang, this is not a ...... for the enemy to know our strength. ”

Wu Zheng shouted: "This king just wants to let the enemy know our strength, and only when the enemy is at ease, they will attack." Why don't you go yet?! ”

As a result, the scout cavalry of the Qing army, almost openly on the slope beam, counted the tents and the number of people in the "loyalty battalion" with their fingers.

The soldiers of the "Loyal Battalion", who were no more than 100 paces apart, did not even bother with them.

This is really a strange thing in the world.

……。

Wu Zheng's judgment was right, Wu Weihua was indeed unwilling.

With combat strength, 3,000 cavalry is enough to defeat an infantry of tens of thousands of people, not to mention that the other side is just a retreating rout.

After getting the accurate number of scouts and confirming that there were indeed only 3,000 people on the other side, Wu Weihua finally decided to reach out and pick peaches.

This is really not Wu Weihua's stupidity, stupidity, stupidity.

He wanted to return to Beijing too much, and he was too nostalgic for the prosperity and peace of the capital.

But if he wants to return to Beijing, he must make a great contribution.

Man, because of the greed of his heart, ignores all warnings.

In fact, if you only think about it, you can understand that if the "Loyal Battalion" has no way to deal with it, how can the scouts be so easily trooped and deployed?

And an infantry of three thousand people, knowing that there was an enemy cavalry on the opposite side, how could they dare to stay where they were so calmly.

But at this time, these have long been ignored by Wu Weihua, and he explained to himself in his heart that the "Loyal Battalion" did not know that there were 3,000 cavalry on the opposite side, and that the Loyal Battalion was pursued by the Ming army, and there was no turning back.

Look, his explanations and answers are even more reliable than Wu Zheng's explanation.

……。

And so the battle began.

Compared with the calmness of the Qing cavalry, on Wu Zheng's side, the soldiers were especially angry at the six scouts who died yesterday.

From Huanggang to the present, the journey has exceeded thousands of miles, and this group of soldiers who came out of the military academy suffered casualties for the first time.

And this casualty was actually produced in such an unfair situation, so that these soldiers had a kind of strength in their chests, and they couldn't vent it.

Wu Zheng was also heartbroken, the scouts were not equipped with grenades, this was for the secrecy of the upcoming battle, in order to give the enemy a surprise blow, just like the three hundred small cannons, Wu Zheng wanted a hearty victory to inspire this new army that had just become an army.

"Nervous?" Wu Zheng looked at Lu Jincai and asked.

"No...... Don't be nervous! Lu Jincai replied, "As long as the prince gives an order, he should be the vanguard and avenge the brothers who died yesterday!" ”

"You're not nervous, but the soldiers below are nervous." Wu Zheng looked at Lu Jincai's clenched fists and said, "Go, tell the soldiers that you must wait for this king to send a signal before fighting." If you go uphill, the speed will slow down, but we don't fight, let the Qing ride go up to the top of the beam, rush down and detonate the mine, and then there will be an artillery battalion to cover the entire slope...... Don't let the soldiers get nervous. ”

"Yes."

……。

Wu Weihua took the lead, of course, this was just the time to press up in front of the ramp.

He rode his horse very slowly, and the three thousand cavalry had slowly pressed forward in a long phalanx, until he reached two hundred paces before the slope.

It's a safe distance, and the Loyal Battalion has muskets, which was known yesterday.

Wu Weihua even sent three small groups of cavalry to charge up the slope, trying to lure out the enemy to block it.

But there was silence on the slope.

Wu Weihua hesitated and did not move, there were only two situations, one was that the enemy was afraid that the cavalry on his side retreated, and the other was that the enemy had laid an ambush.

Obviously, the second option is much more likely.

Do you want to move on?

The greed in Wu Weihua's heart took over, he ordered to charge the slope with 1,000 cavalry, and he led 2,000 cavalry to suppress the formation, if the cavalry encountered an ambush by the other party, Wu Weihua thought that with the 2,000 cavalry in his hands, it was enough to deal with it and turn the tide of the battle.

At the same time, Wu Weihua believed that if the situation was the former, then after the vanguard cavalry rushed uphill, he could lead his troops to rush up to rendezvous.
