In the evening, the twilight covers the sky and the sky, and the visibility suddenly becomes very low.

Under Kaifeng City, in the ethereal twilight, dozens of cavalrymen wearing Ming army robes were being chased and killed by hundreds of cavalry of the wandering army, and quickly fled to the direction of Kaifeng City.

"Open the gates!"

"Open the city gate quickly, we are under the command of the model army loyal and righteous uncle, and we have something important to report to His Royal Highness King Zhou!"

"Kaifeng brothers, help us stop this gang of thieves!"

The defenders of Kaifeng City were in a commotion for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

They definitely couldn't see death without help, so they released arrows one after another to drive away the pursuers of the homeless army behind, and at the same time quickly reported the news to the top.

Soon, Zhou King Zhu Gongfang, Gao Mingheng, Chen Yongfu, Huang Shu and others all rushed to the city.

The pursuers of the Wandering People's Army still did not disperse at this time, shouting loudly a few hundred paces away, very arrogant.

Zhu Gongqi and the others all frowned a little.

After a moment, Zhu Gongyu said: "Everyone, how should this matter be handled?" Could it be that Zhu Xianzhen is over there...... Has something changed? ”

Gao Mingheng hurriedly said: "That's not right." I've been patrolling the city today, and I haven't noticed anything unusual in the direction of Zhuxian Town, and I haven't heard any sound. ”

Huang Shu suddenly sneered: "This matter is simple. Lord, can you let the humble position ask a few words? ”

Zhu Gongqi and the others hurriedly gave up their positions, and Huang Shu shouted: "What is the matter with Uncle Zhongyi looking for His Royal Highness King Zhou?" Your Highness has arrived, and you have something to say now! ”

The head of the city, Mr. Qian, hurriedly said in his throat: "We must meet the prince in person to show this matter, please open the city gate!" ”

Hearing the words of the thousand chief officials with an obvious Shaanxi accent, the sneer on Huang Shu's face couldn't help but worsen, "The city gate has been blocked by countless bags of sand and soil, if you want to come up, you can only come up with a basket." Come on, put the basket. ”

"Yes."

Soon, a few baskets were put down.

Mr. Qian and a few people around him glanced at each other, and immediately said in a loud voice: "This lord, if we go up like this, how will the war horse be handled?" Please open the gates! My uncle already has a way to break the enemy, and he must talk to the prince in person. ”

At the head of the city, Zhu Gongyu and everyone had already understood what Huang Shu meant, and they were all a little frightened.

Huang Shu sneered and said to Chen Yongfu: "Chen Shuai, let go of the arrow!" ”

Chen Yongfu couldn't wait for a long time, and waved his hand, "Release the arrow!" ”

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

In an instant, hundreds of feathered arrows fell from the sky, sweeping directly through the people in the city, and in the blink of an eye, people roared, many horses were shot, and a few unlucky ones were directly shot into hedgehogs.

Qianhu led by him was very clever, although he was also hit by a few arrows, but he had fine armor to protect himself, and he did not hurt the vital point, so he ran out of the range of the bow and arrow and scolded: "What are you going to do? Those who dare to kill our model army, Uncle will not let you go! ”

Huang Shu sneered and scolded: "Dog, go back and tell Li Zicheng that you want to cheat the city of the official, let him do his big dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival!" ”

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Qianhu glanced at Huang Shu resentfully, stopped fighting, and quickly retreated.

"Straight lady thief, so clever!"

Not far away, Liu Zongmin, who had been hiding in the twilight, and more than 3,000 cavalrymen, seeing that they could not do anything, took a sip fiercely, and no longer fell in love with the battle, and quickly retreated.

He finally waited for a few days, and this was the only way he waited for such good weather, but he didn't expect Kaifeng City to be so alert.

Li Zicheng and the others were waiting a few miles away at this time.

Seeing that Liu Zongmin came back so soon, there was no large-scale shouting and killing in front of him, and he also knew that Liu Zongmin's strategy had failed, so he hurriedly stepped forward and comforted with a smile: "Huang Hu, don't worry." Kaifeng City is already a frightened bird, and it must be difficult to cheat the city. ”

Liu Zongmin didn't take a few blows, and said with a smile: "King Chuang, it's okay." Ding Qirui and the Northwest Army will not be able to pass for a while, and I feel that the time for a general attack is ripe! ”

"Oh?"

"Does Yellow Tiger have a clever plan?"

Li Zicheng's keenness naturally sensed this key point, and he was busy looking at Liu Zongmin.

……

Xu Changqing, Zuo Liangyu, and Yang Wenyue didn't know about today's fraudulent surrender.

Later, Ding Qirui replied to the letter, saying that he accepted Xu Changqing's plan, and would push the battle array over along the Shahe River valley to ensure grain and grass first.

This made Xu Changqing and everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Ding Qirui takes into account the overall situation and understands the general situation, which undoubtedly makes the next war more certain.

In the current situation, it is impossible for the Ming army to take the initiative to attack, who would be stupid enough to gnaw hard bones with their own capital?

Even if Xu Changqing and Zuo Liangyu already have a connection with their in-laws, how can this kind of thing be true?

Not to mention that Zuo Liangyu can't fight at all, even if he really wants to fight, Xu Changqing will probably stop him!

Although Zuo Liangyubu is tens of thousands of people, but the real combat power, only God knows, once the battle is frustrated, then I am afraid that the Daluo Immortal will also have no skills.

At this time, this situation is countless times better than in history, Xu Changqing didn't even expect this, especially the marriage of the Zuo family.

Now, I can only be patient, just waiting for when the exile army will attack!

……

To Xu Changqing's surprise, the Wandering People's Army did not launch much offensive after that.

Not only did the offensive not be launched on the front, but the harassment of Ding Qirui on the Western Front was also reduced a lot.

Ding Qirui didn't have that much at this time. Something is wrong, the new fortifications have been working the western front, and the main force has been pushed to Zhuxian Town 14 or 5 miles away, which is a big progress.

It's been July and the weather is starting to get hotter.

Xu Changqing's model army has been drinking groundwater, and various epidemic prevention measures are also very thorough, but there is no problem.

However, Zuo Liangyubu is a little bad, and many people are a little uncomfortable and begin to have diarrhea.

Soon, it also began to infect Yang Wenyue's department, and more and more people had problems, even a bit similar to malaria, and they had begun to die.

This made Xu Changqing couldn't help but be surprised.

Xu Changqing is very confident in the epidemic prevention work of the model army, but on Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue's side, it is not good!

However, after a few people met, Xu Changqing suddenly discovered that something was wrong!

Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue are both people who have led troops for many years, so they naturally know the importance of the army's epidemic prevention work, especially in this kind of weather, even if it is not as scientific and rigorous as Xu Changqing, there are a lot of disinfection supplies such as quicklime.

Even if a soldier drank raw water, it was always a clean spring water chosen.

But, somehow, the epidemic began to spread among the troops.

This made Xu Changqing's hairs stand on end a little!

Could it be that this is a biochemical war launched by the Wandering Army?

Hurriedly told Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue about this speculation, and asked them to check the water source.

Really.

It didn't take long for the news to come back that the water source had been tampered with, and that people from the Wandering People's Army had mixed in!

This made several people have some frightened hair, and it was really hairy that stood on end.

Fortunately, at this time, it is easy to deal with the source of the source, first protect the water source, and then isolate the sick, and let the military doctors try their best to help them heal.

Even if it can't be cured, it must not be thrown into the river, and it must be cremated as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the incident was discovered in time and dealt with in a timely manner, and the epidemic did not expand, only five or six people died and hundreds of people were quarantined.

This also made Xu Changqing's vigilance against the exile army come to a peak.

These guys can really do anything in order to win!

It's a pity that the dominance of the war at this time is not in the hands of Xu Changqing, and Xu Changqing can only endure it temporarily.

After another two days, the Wandering Army also found that their secret weapon did not seem to work, and the official army did not collapse.

It had been moved to the big tent of the Wandering People's Army ten miles north of Zhuxian Town, and listening to the report from the spies, Liu Zongmin finally felt frustrated!

Unexpectedly, his exquisite layout was recognized by the Ming army again, and this person was his old rival Xu Changqing!

Seeing that Liu Zongmin was really a little angry, Li Zicheng smiled and comforted: "Yellow Tiger, don't worry, these days, the people of the forehead have almost been raised, since the bias is not good, then the forehead will go to the front!" When the time comes, our hundreds of thousands of troops will come out, and what will these dog officers and soldiers use to resist? ”

Liu Zongmin also regained his spirits, and a cold smile appeared on his resolute face: "King Chuang, don't worry, there is another way, tomorrow, tomorrow is just when the time is ripe, let's take Zuo Liangyu's mongrel first!" ”

……

There is not much wind in the middle of summer.

However, there are plains all around, and at dawn and dawn, there is still some wind.

Because of the topography, the wind tends to come from the north.

On the fourth day and night of the seventh month.

It rained a little in the evening, which made the weather, which had been hot and dry, much cooler, which made everyone who had been in this steamer-like heat very excited.

I was finally able to sleep peacefully.

Xu Changqing was also in a very good mood, and in the evening, he had a very ceremonial candlelight dinner with Chu Xue and Zuo Mengmei.

Unfortunately, that's the end of it.

Chu Xue's attitude towards Xu Changqing is one word, cold.

With a cold face, cold eyes, and not talking to Xu Changqing at all, this makes Xu Changqing have the means but it is difficult to use them.

The key is that this girl really has aura, and Xu Changqing is not easy to mess around.

And although Zuo Mengmei sometimes shows a little charm and is full of seduction to Xu Changqing, she has always been in a united front with Chu Xue, advancing and retreating together.

This made Xu Changqing even unhappy, but he couldn't do anything about them.

I am also thinking carefully in my heart, Zuo Mengmei, this girl really has the potential of a little goblin, and when she finds an opportunity, see how to clean her up!

Although the love scene was slightly uncomfortable, Xu Changqing did not dare to be slack and meticulous in the defense of the camp.

Until the middle of the hour, I patrolled the night several times to make sure that nothing went wrong, and this was going to rest.

However, what Xu Changqing didn't know was that after he left, in the camp of Li Yan and his wife opposite, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Song Xiance, and Niu Jinxing were still observing this side.

Seeing Xu Changqing's tight defense in the position of their model army, Liu Zongmin sneered: "King Chuang, let's go to Zuo Liangyu's camp!" ”

Of course, Li Zicheng understood what Liu Zongmin meant, nodded with a smile, and didn't say anything.

Soon, the group came to the camp of Zuo Liangyu in front of Zhuxian Town.

The left army was in front of the defense line of Zhuxian Town, and the battle line stretched for several miles, and the defense was quite tight at this time, but compared with Xu Changqing's model army position, it was not comparable.

Not only is the planning not reasonable enough, but the intensity of the guard patrol is also several levels lower.

Moreover, compared with the favorable terrain of Xu Changqing's camp with the help of mass grave structure, the left army's side is almost like a horse and a flat river, which is very conducive to the operation of the displaced army with the advantage of a huge population.

Li Zicheng and his entourage excitedly discussed here for more than half an hour, and then they left one by one in good spirits.
