But just one night, less than ten miles away from the east of Suqian City, several large camps stood on the field, three large camps with earthen fortifications and sanitation, like three earthen cities, guarding each other, this is the loyal army from Qinghe all the way north.

At this time, Suqian City has become an empty city, the people inside and outside the city, have long been frightened by the news of the Qing captives slaughtering the city and fled to the other side of the Yellow River or the countryside, leaving only an empty city, just when the county magistrate was thinking about whether to sacrifice the city, the vanguard officer under the command of Dasu here has led 8,000 men and horses, rushed to Suqian City, originally wanted to slaughter the city and rob people, after learning that the Ming army was outside the city, the city naturally could not be slaughtered anymore, he immediately arranged for his subordinates to guard the city, thus controlling Suqian, Although the soldiers who originally intended to wash the city were extremely dissatisfied with this, they still dared to complain when they looked at the enemy army ten miles away, and they all immediately went to the city, after all, it is always a good thing to have a city wall.

Next, a whole day of hard work, the Annan army led by Dasu, will continue to enter Suqian, and set up a large camp outside Suqian, for the Qing army, Suqian has not fallen into the hands of the enemy, undoubtedly let them take a reassurance.

Standing at the top of the city, Dasu gazed at the enemy camp looming in the distance, and Raita made a proposal.

"Lord Da, are you sending troops to attack the camp now?"

"Don't worry, don't you see, this Suqian was deliberately thrown to us by the Zhu thief? This Suqian has its back to the canal and the Yellow River on its side, if we set up the camp in the city and in the east of the city, when the time comes, he will naturally be able to cut off the rear road of our army. ”

However, although it seemed to be praised, there was contempt in his tone, and then Dasu commanded again.

"Order to set up camp on the west side of the canal......"

As a battlefield general, after seeing Zhu Mingzhong's intentions, Da Su naturally came up with a countermeasure at the first time, and his coping strategy was very simple, that is, the military camp was set up in the east and west of the city, so that several large battalions were divided into sanitation Suqian. Even the canal, under his command, was filled with hundreds of ships accompanying the army, civilians, and merchants, thus easily resolving the disadvantage of his side.

"This Dasu ......"

After the deployment of the Qing army was detected, it was sent to Zhu Mingzhong as soon as possible, and looking at the deployment of Dasu on the sand table, Zhu Mingzhong couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"It's really a veteran of the battlefield, this first game is barely a draw!"

Originally, according to Zhu Mingzhong's original plan, the loyal army should be west of the canal, but later, in the suggestion of everyone, they chose the east of the city, because the east of the city is more open and more suitable for giving full play to the strengths of the Qing army.

"After a strategy, my subordinates don't understand, why we chose the east of the city, the east of the city is a horse and a flat river, isn't it easier to give full play to the strengths of the Qing cavalry? Moreover, now that Suqian is in the Qing Dynasty, this is tantamount to putting our army at a disadvantage! ”

It was Li Wenbai who spoke, he was a scholar of Qinghe Academy, one of the more than 20 scholars recommended by Zhu Zhiyu in the academy, his face was thin, his face was pale, and his eye sockets were slightly sunken. But a pair of eyes are dark, but there is a flash of vitality that only young people have. It is precisely because of this that he will ask directly.

"Because of this, Dasu knows that he is fighting against the water, so he wants to break the game!"

Zhu Mingzhong had a smile on his face, for the young staff members of the Senate Office around him, Zhu Mingzhong has always regarded them as his staff officers, and naturally he will seize the opportunity to teach them, hoping that they will be able to stand alone in the future.

"Breaking the game?"

"Yes, it's to break the game, you see, how Dasu broke the game?"

Looking at these staff officers on the side of the sand table with a smile, Zhu Mingzhong's face was full of smiles, and there was encouragement in that smile, he needed these young people to grow up on the battlefield, only in this way could they stand alone in the future.

"Breaking the ......"

Ma Xiyun, who was originally standing next to the sand table, was chanting this sentence, and then he seemed to have figured out something, but that trace of inspiration was fleeting, staring at the sand table and saying slowly.

"Compared with the temporary camp, this Suqian county is undoubtedly stronger, since our army has ceded the county seat, then the county must be used by Dasu, so that its camp is bound to be centered on the county seat, and this canal blocks its back road in the west of the city......"

Ma Xiyun's words were not loud, and his tone seemed a little uncertain, and when his words fell, Li Wenbai continued.

"If Dasu wants to break the situation, he must divide his troops, this Suqian county seems to be strong, but if he guards inside and outside the city, he will inevitably divide his troops, and this canal will isolate part of its troops to the ...... of Hexi."

"Also, the ten camps of the Qing Dynasty are like long snakes, scattered around Suqian City, resembling long snakes, not coiled snakes!"

Unlike the film and television dramas of later generations, where tens of thousands of people marched and fought in ancient times concentrated in one large battalion, since ancient times, the commander will set up a large battalion according to the number of troops, with thousands of people in each battalion, and the distribution of the battalion is similar to that of a coiled snake, so that the battalion protects each other, so as not to be attacked by the enemy, even if the enemy attacks the battalion, it can only threaten several of the battalions, and not hurt the fundamentals.

But now that Dasu has broken the situation, the snake has been flattened, and the camp, including Suqian City, looks more like a long snake formation.

"Jingluo, even if it becomes a long snake formation, if we want to break the camp, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, after all, Dasu, as a veteran of the battlefield, will definitely be able to think of this......"

"Of course he can think of it, you haven't seen it, the distance of his camp, as well as the camp in the east of the city, are all based on the city, this Dasu, no matter what, has been fighting for decades, and naturally knows how to resolve the lack of terrain, as well as this canal ......"

Pointing to the extra model representing a small boat on the canal, Zhu Mingzhong shook his head and said.

"Now his formation is a copper head and iron tail, tofu waist, but even if we know that his waist is a tofu waist because of the canal, we can't send a naval army to attack the camp, as long as the camp is attacked, it will be attacked by artillery fire in the battalions on both wings, and there is no vanity under the fame, although Da Su is not a famous general of the Qing Dynasty, he may be pointed out as General Annan, and he must have his advantages."

Speaking out to praise Dasu's strain, Zhu Mingzhong then looked at the young people around him who were about the same age and said.

"Strategically despise the enemy, tactically value the enemy! This Da Su may have made such a copper-headed and iron-tailed formation, so that we dare not easily use the water army to attack the camp, but he ignored one point, from the very beginning, he entered Suqian City, and the overall situation was basically decided! ……”

Looking contemptuously in the direction of Suqian City, Zhu Mingzhong sneered.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow will almost be the case!"
