Chapter Forty-Three: Capture the King?
Soldiers, observe the terrain and make the most of it. Zhang Ying has read the art of war, since Zhang Shicheng's uprising, Zhang Ying has nothing to do in the army, and the greatest pleasure is to study the art of war. Her theoretical knowledge is sufficient, and the only thing she lacks is practical experience. She knew that how to make better use of the terrain advantage when the two armies were fighting was a major factor in determining the outcome of the battle, so she took the 5,000 elites of the Red Turban Army to the agreed place of engagement early.
The agreed place is outside a forest outside Yingzhou City, the forest is very large, and it can accommodate 10,000 people. Zhang Ying secretly made a plan for herself, this forest may be able to make good use of it.
......
Soon, the appointed time arrived. Zhang Shicheng and Han Yu brought the generals of the two armies to watch the battle, and it was not lively. With Zhang Shicheng's order, this battle is officially started.
Zhu Chuba straddled the horse and carried a paint-coated wooden sword to confront Zhang Ying, in order to respond to all changes, he did not intend to take the lead. To his surprise, Zhang Ying did not take the initiative to attack, but ordered his soldiers to retreat into the woods at the beginning. Zhang Ying himself glanced at Zhu Chuba after the army retreated, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and then slowly retreated into the woods.
Zhu Chuba's eyes froze, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. This feels familiar, the defeat at the hands of Chakhan Timur was because he fell into the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, so that his army fell into unfavorable terrain, so the defeat was so miserable. Zhu Chuba was not familiar with this wood, and he didn't know what kind of traps would be in it, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Zhu Chuba also read the art of war, but he only started after he tasted the lesson of defeat that time, and he was busy with military affairs, so he didn't have much time to study. Therefore, in terms of familiarity with the art of war, Zhu Chuba is not as good as Zhang Ying.
Zhu Chuba didn't dare to take risks, but he had this method. He is not in a hurry, since he can't take the initiative to go in, just wait here for him to come out. There is no shortage of mosquitoes in the woods, and they can't last long.
Thinking like this, Zhu Chuba really ordered the team to rest on the spot. Half an hour passed, and the answer was self-evident as one side waited anxiously for its prey to take the bait in the mosquito-infested woods, while the other sat comfortably resting in a clearing.
Zhang Ying had already found the favorable terrain and the traps were all ready, she had prepared a series of complete plans, just waiting for Zhu Chuba to come in and catch them all. But I waited left and right, but no one came in. Just as Zhu Chuba thought, it was summer now, mosquitoes were raging in the woods, and the soldiers had long been a little impatient with mosquito bites. Zhang Ying was helpless, so she had to secretly scold Zhu Chuba in her heart for being cowardly, but she had to order to withdraw from the woods.
Will Zhang Ying just succumb to Zhu Chuba's unchanged response?
Of course not! She Zhang Ying is a ghost spirit who makes the dignified Zhang Shicheng have a headache, how can she not even leave a way back for herself. She had already planned it, if Zhu Chuba hadn't taken the bait, she would have other ways to deal with it.
Zhang Ying ordered the soldiers to retreat slowly out of the woods, but specifically instructed them to find a hidden place at the edge of the forest and disperse and hide.
This forest is very peculiar, its edges form a semicircle, and Zhu Chuba and the soldiers he brought are all surrounded by this semicircle at the moment. Zhu Chuba didn't know anything about Zhang Ying's tactics, so he just waited patiently. He was convinced that the people inside would soon be unable to hold on.
Sure enough, Zhu Chuba's ears moved, and there was movement in the woods on the left. He ordered his soldiers to be on guard, and slowly moved closer to the left of the woods. As soon as Zhu Chuba moved, a group of soldiers rushed out of the woods on the left. Zhu Chuba was overjoyed, thinking that they were throwing themselves into the net, and immediately ordered the soldiers to surround them and eliminate all the enemy soldiers who rushed out. But Zhu Chuba was not happy, but confused, why are there only so many people?
Zhu Chuba rushed down and only eliminated more than 100 soldiers, and the enemy had an army of 5,000. Zhu Chuba shouted that it was inappropriate, and he wanted to order the soldiers to turn around and be on guard.
But it's too late!
When Zhang Ying saw Zhu Chuba ordering the soldiers to go to the group of soldiers she sent out to lure the enemy, a sly smile appeared on her face. She ordered her soldiers to quietly and quickly attack from behind the enemy, and the soldiers under Zhu Chuba were unable to respond for a while and were eliminated one after another.
When Zhu Chuba saw the enemy soldiers who were rushing to kill, the soldiers on his periphery had already eliminated nearly a thousand people. Zhu Chuba's eyes froze, and he marched forward. Capture the thief and capture the king first, he decided to take Zhang Ying down directly, so that the current crisis may be solved.
When Zhang Ying told him not to underestimate the woman, he regarded Zhang Ying as a real opponent, he would not want to let it, he would only go all out to defeat this opponent, which was the greatest respect for her.
Zhang Ying noticed the figure of Zhu Chuba rushing towards her, and immediately understood what this martial arts general Zhu wanted to do. The smile on her face did not decrease, because she felt that General Zhu seemed to want to diverge in something. Capturing the thief and capturing the king first is of course an excellent tactic, and it is naturally not difficult to do it with General Zhu's skills, but this is for an ordinary battle.
What is the reason why the thief captures the king first? Is it because of the soldiers' dependence on the boss that the boss fell and the army was unled and there was a chaotic scene, but the soldiers of the Red Turban Army would be dependent on Zhang Ying?
No, absolutely not. The battle was nothing more than a tense game for the soldiers on both sides. Zhu Chuba thought that eliminating Zhang Ying would allow the soldiers of the Red Turban Army to be defeated without a fight, which was the biggest mistake he made.
Zhang Ying drew his wooden sword, laughed at the soldiers and shouted: "Keep the formation and continue to rush and kill without stopping, you will achieve victory, and I will fight with your general." ”
Zhang Ying pulled back and caught up with Zhu Chuba, who was rushing quickly.
Zhang Ying looked at the wooden sword in her hand and looked at Zhu Chuba with a wry smile: "This hard wooden sword is really not used to it." ”
Zhu Chuba had seen the weirdness and unpredictability of Zhang Ying when he was holding a soft sword, if Zhang Ying was not holding a wooden sword but her own soft sword at this moment, it would really not be easy to deal with. But there is no if in the world, Zhang Ying, who is holding a wooden sword, is really not a big threat to Zhu Chuba.
"Miss Zhang, this time it's the eighth day of the new year, and I'm going to have another fight if I find a chance next time."
When Zhang Ying heard the word 'again' said by Zhu Chuba, she couldn't help but think of the night in the Huxin Pavilion, and a disobedient blush appeared on her heroic face. She snorted coldly and said, "Do you think this girl without a soft sword is so easy to deal with?" It's not certain who will kill the deer, fanatic, look at the sword. ”
