At this time, Zhang Shicheng's department, which gave Chakhan Timur and Du Lidu a headache, also fell into a gloomy fog.

Just as Chakhan Timur said, Zhang Shicheng's troops were able to gain the upper hand in the previous battles with the original army completely because of their well-equipped achievements, and in terms of the quality of the army, the 200,000 rebel troops raised by Zhang Shicheng may not be higher than the Red Turban Army.

But these sophisticated equipment that made the imperial army ashamed of themselves did not fall from the sky, plus Zhang Shicheng led the army on an expedition, no matter how well prepared he was, there would be a day when he would be exhausted. Zhang Shicheng was able to afford so much sophisticated equipment for some reason, but once the equipment was exhausted, it was not a problem that money could solve if he wanted to replenish it immediately. And after a series of battles, Zhang Shicheng's department is now about to fall into this embarrassing situation.

When the day comes when the equipment runs out, I have no choice but to retreat temporarily, and all the work I have done is wasted. Zhang Shicheng went to Zhaozhou to ask for help, and he realized that this day would come sooner or later, and if he wanted to give up his efforts, he could only rely on the absolute number of people to suppress and storm Yingzhou City. Most of the large-scale siege equipment they brought with them was not used.

Zhang Shicheng was born as a salt merchant, but he was good at reading and regarded himself as a cultural person.

Although he is the commander of the 200,000 rebel army, he does not like to wear armor, and wears a white robe all day long, holding a folding fan, which looks very elegant. But as the commander of the rebel army, of course, it is impossible to be as indecisive as a scholar, the perseverance on Zhang Shicheng's face is what an elegant scholar does not have, and the occasional flash of sharpness in his eyes also shows that he is definitely not just a useless scholar.

On the contrary, Zhang Shicheng's strength in the army is also very unimaginable, as can be seen from the fact that he arranged his sister Zhang Ying to be a general by his side despite public opinion. Although Zhang Shicheng's rebel army has just been established, and various rules and regulations are not perfect, but the fact that women join the army was also opposed by a large number of generals at the beginning, and it was Zhang Shicheng who relied on his absolute authority in the army to arrange Zhang Ying in the position of a general. The rank is not high, but he can follow Zhang Shicheng's side.

"Brother, why do you want to ask the Red Turban Army to help. Our rebel army has 200,000 people and is well-equipped, as long as my brother gives the order to launch a general attack, even without the help of the Red Turban Army, we can take Yingzhou City. Zhang Ying raised a pair of sword eyebrows and asked her brother angrily. Speaking of which, among the huge 200,000 rebel army, Zhang Ying was the only one who dared to speak to Zhang Shicheng in this tone.

Zhang Yingsheng is extremely beautiful, and a close-fitting and slim silver armor looks even more heroic when worn on his body. Zhang Shicheng has a deep relationship with his sister, and he will discuss anything in the army with his sister. But this time, Zhang Shicheng knew that she had always advocated launching a general offensive, but he quietly sent a letter to the Red Turban Army asking for help, and he only let her know now.

Zhang Shicheng smiled bitterly, got up and walked behind Zhang Ying, pressed his sister's shoulder, pressed her on the position of the main accountant, and explained in a low voice: "My good sister, how can I not know that if we launch a general attack now, there is a great chance to take Yingzhou City, but that will definitely cause a lot of unnecessary losses to our rebel army." After all, the enemy has the advantage of the city walls. ”

Zhang Ying still didn't comply, pushed Zhang Shicheng's hand away, pouted and said: "Then what's the use of you calling the Red Turban Army, they can have the courage to be the first to launch an uprising, they are definitely not stupid, they will be stupid to be cannon fodder for us?" ”

Zhang Shicheng saw that his sister was unyielding, and smiled mysteriously: "Of course they are not stupid, but your brother and I are not stupid people." If I wasn't sure, would I do this useless work? ”

Zhang Ying was stunned for a moment, she knew her brother, and knew that every time her brother showed this kind of smile, he already had a bad stomach in his stomach. But Zhang Ying thought about it again and again, but she couldn't think of where her brother's so-called grasp was, so she asked unconvinced: "Why do you say that you are sure?" ”

Zhang Shicheng laughed, found a chair and sat down, and said: "Do you know that some time ago, the Red Turban Army suffered a big defeat in Zhaozhou City, and the 60,000 army was wiped out, and five generals were lost, one of which was Han Lin, the son of Han Yu, the generalissimo of the Red Turban Army. ”

Zhang Ying was dazed: "I don't know." But even so, what does that have to do with us. Did they become fools after one defeat? ”

Zhang Shicheng said: "Of course not, not only will they not become fools, but they will become more brave and difficult to deal with." ”

Zhang Ying was even more puzzled when she heard this, and asked, "Since this is the case, then why are you so confident." ”

Zhang Shicheng laughed, got up and walked to Zhang Ying's side and rubbed her hair. Zhang Ying shook her head reluctantly and glared at Zhang Shicheng. Zhang Shicheng didn't care, but was even more happy, he leaned into Zhang Ying's ear and whispered: "Then what if the culprit who killed the son of Han Yu, the generalissimo of the Red Turban Army, is the opponent we are facing now, Chakhan Timur?" ”

Zhang Ying was shocked, and she didn't know what to say when she grew up. She is not stupid, on the contrary, as Zhang Shicheng's own sister, in addition to her beauty, her intelligence will not be weaker than her brother Zhang Shicheng at all. Now that Zhang Shicheng has said this, if Zhang Ying still doesn't understand where her brother's grasp comes from, then she will really live up to her surname.

The little generalissimo of the Red Turban Army died at the hands of Chakhan Timur, and now this situation makes the Red Turban Army face Chakhan Timur, as the so-called enemy is very red when they meet, even if the Red Turban Army is not stupid enough to completely take over the overall situation, let their army all take the lead as cannon fodder, but at least there will be no slightest passivity and slackness, and will only exert twelve points of combat power. In today's form, it's really the perfect teammate.

Zhang Ying realized that she was wrong to blame her brother, the dissatisfaction on her face disappeared immediately, she changed to a flattering smile as quickly as possible, got up and pushed her brother to the handsome position, half-squatted in front of her brother, and said coquettishly: "Since my brother has a plan, why didn't I tell Ying'er earlier, I have to hide it from Ying'er." ”

Zhang Shicheng looked at his sister who turned her face faster than a book, and couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and when she heard her sister ask, she smiled bitterly: "My good sister, don't you know what kind of character your brother is?" If I had consulted with you beforehand about this matter, you would not have been crying and making trouble with me. Now that the war situation is urgent, I don't want to spend a lot of time trying to coax your eldest lady into a temper. ”

Zhang Ying smiled embarrassedly, she also knew her temper, and what her brother said was not an exaggeration at all. She pursed her lips and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Shicheng: "You wait first." I'm not here to tell you about this today, I'm not here to listen to your coquettishness, I have another important task to you. ”
