Zhang Ying took the lead in stabbing out with a sword, and Zhu Chuba raised his sword to greet him. However, the impact of holding a wooden sword on Zhang Ying's strength was really not small, and the fierce Zhang Ying was slashed by the aggressive Zhu Chuba without a few moves. Zhu Chuba was condescending, "You lose, admit defeat." You told me not to let me, but you can't blame me for being too ruthless. ”

Zhang Ying was a little embarrassed and half-lay on the ground, looked up at Zhu Chuba, and smiled. She stood up and patted the dirt on her body, glanced at Zhu Chuba, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, you won, I admit defeat." ”

Zhu Chuba suddenly had a good impression of Zhang Ying's open-mindedness, and just wanted to say something to comfort her, but Zhang Ying showed a smug smile: "But General Zhu, if I lose, it doesn't mean that we lose." ”

Zhang Ying pouted at the back and said, "I was eliminated, but I am the winner of this exchange battle." ”

Zhang Ying raised her head, clearly shorter than Zhu Chuba, but seemed to look at Zhu Chuba condescendingly. Zhu Chuba was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked back. After Zhang Ying's defeat, the soldiers did not show the slightest panic, and still rushed to kill according to the original arrangement, seeing that victory was in sight.

Zhu Chuba is not a stupid person, but he didn't turn a corner for a while in the game. Now that the facts are in front of him, Zhu Chuba patted his forehead in annoyance, turned his head to look at Zhang Ying, who was as proud as a peacock, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, you won." ”

The decline has been achieved, and Rao is the reincarnation of Zhu Chu's eight heavenly gods has no power to return to the sky. Zhu Chuba shook his head and watched helplessly as his soldiers were eliminated one by one, while the enemy only lost one-fifth of his men. Sure enough, Zhu Chuba's soldiers were caught off guard, and they had to be like lambs to be slaughtered being calmly bitten by wolves.

Not long after, Zhang Shicheng announced with a smile that the exchange battle and the victory of the Red Turban Army.

The purpose of this exchange battle was to get the two armies familiar with each other, and it didn't matter if they won or lost. But the Red Turban Army won, but her sister Zhang Ying was able to use this to block the crowd that opposed her, and Zhang Shicheng was very happy to hear about this result.

Zhang Ying and Zhu Chuba both walked in front of Zhang Shicheng and Han Yu, Han Yu patted Zhu Chuba's shoulder and gave a comforting look. Han Yu actually knew very well that neither Zhu Chuba nor him, or even their entire Red Turban Army, had no generals with excellent military talents, and he understood Zhu Chuba, so he did not blame Zhu Chuba for his failure. Zhu Chuba also smiled and nodded at Han Yu to indicate that he was fine, then turned his head to look at Zhang Ying, and nodded in the direction of Zhang Shicheng.

Since Zhang Ying won, they can't give up this opportunity, because their plan was originally arranged like this.

Zhang Ying's expression moved, and he knelt down on one knee in front of Zhang Shicheng, and said in a sonorous tone: "Marshal, the big battle is imminent, and the last general is willing to ask for orders to lead the troops into battle, and I hope the marshal will agree." ”

Zhang Shicheng expected that his sister would take this opportunity to propose the war, even if Zhang Ying didn't say it, he planned to take the initiative. But after all, he was the marshal of the three armies, and he did not directly agree to Zhang Ying's request, but asked the opinions of his subordinate generals: "Generals, there are still people who oppose General Zhang's petition to lead the troops to battle. ”

Seeing the situation, Luo Guangyu was the first to stand up and agree: "The last general has no opinion." ”

Among the other generals, some wanted to stand up and oppose it, but when they saw Luo Guangyu's statement, they hesitated again. At this time, Yu Mingqing, who had been standing behind Zhang Shicheng, also suddenly stood up and said: "General Zhang is strong in martial arts, and he is proficient in the art of war, and he is good at observing people's hearts. General Zhang has the heart and ability to contribute, which is a blessing for our army. The last general has no opinion. ”

The smile in Zhang Shicheng's eyes could no longer be hidden, and he turned his head to look at the other generals who had not expressed their position. Those generals saw that the two most authoritative generals in the army had already expressed no opinion, and the marshal's attitude was so obvious, plus Zhang Ying had indeed shown her ability to lead the troops in front of everyone, so most of the generals responded together: "The last general has no opinion." ”

General Zhao, who spoke out against Zhang Ying before, was still unwilling, but the people's desire for him could not change anything, so he had to arch his hand and turn his head and say: "General, there is no opinion." ”

Zhang Shicheng was secretly happy that his sister's long-standing wish could finally be achieved, and he said to Zhang Ying, who was kneeling: "Since all the generals are not opposed, then good, Marshal Ben will appoint you as the captain of the Yue Cavalry at this moment, commanding 5,000 cavalry, and be responsible for roaming between the two armies during the war, and galloping to help at any time if there is a part of the uncaught force." ”

Zhang Ying was overjoyed, and everyone called her General Zhang before, but it was just for Zhang Shicheng's sake. Her position is just Zhang Shicheng's bodyguard, with a false name as a general, and she has no military power. Today, although this Vietnamese cavalry captain is not a general, he can command 5,000 soldiers and horses, and he is one of the most important units in the army, the cavalry unit. After that, Zhang Ying had to be called Captain Zhang, but for Zhang Ying, this Captain sounded much more comfortable than the general.

Zhang Shicheng's appointment of Zhang Ying as the captain of the Yue cavalry naturally also had his considerations, and the general of the Yue cavalry in the army was Yu Mingqing, and all the cavalry had to obey him. With the relationship between Zhang Ying and Yu Mingqing, being a Yue cavalry captain under him will of course receive more care, and it can also allow her to play a role on the battlefield to the maximum. As for letting Zhang Ying lead 5,000 Vietnamese cavalry troops to rush to the aid of the two armies, it was because although they fought in concert with the Red Turban Army, the two troops also had to be distinct, and it was impossible to mix operations. Therefore, when necessary, it is necessary to choose a person to travel between the two armies in order to clarify the will of the two armies, so as not to cause unnecessary confusion on the battlefield. And Zhang Ying has a good relationship with the generals of the Red Turban Army, and it is very suitable for her to be the candidate for this person.

......

The preparations have been almost done, and the run-in between the two rebel armies has already had a certain effect. After discussion, Zhang Shicheng and Han Yu unanimously decided that tomorrow would be the day of the decisive battle with the Yingzhou original army.

The method that Zhu Chuba had thought of before for him to sneak into Yingzhou City alone and open the city gate was not known to Zhang Shicheng, because this method had already been rejected by Han Yu. When Zhu Chuba and Han Yu mentioned it, Han Yu resolutely denied Zhu Chuba's idea without thinking about it. It's not that he can't trust Zhu Chuba's ability, but that the Red Turban Army can't afford to take this risk anymore.

Zhu Chuba's current prestige in the 100,000-strong army of the Red Turban Army may not even be matched by him, a marshal. The big war is imminent, if Zhu Chuba has some accident, I am afraid that the Red Turban army will immediately lose its will to fight. No one can afford this kind of consequence.

Zhu Chuba had no choice but to give up this suggestion and concentrate on preparing for tomorrow's battle.

Today's night was very quiet, and the army of hundreds of thousands of people was silent, and the silence made people feel extremely oppressive.

This is the silence before the storm......
