Xu Da wanted to use Beiping as bait to eat Taiyuan, and Wang Baobao also wanted to use Taiyuan as bait to eat Xu Da. For Wang Baobao, Taiyuan is his fundamental place, Beiping can fight, if he can't fight, he can also wait for Xu Da to return to the rescue of the division, and wait for Lao to besiege the city for help.

When his army arrived in Beiping, he found that Xu Da had no intention of returning to the division to rescue, and looked determined to eat Taiyuan, so Wang Baobao began to panic.

Now that Xu Da does not return to the division to rescue, Wang Baobao has no choice but to turn around and poke Xu Da's chrysanthemum, and he can also do it with Taiyuan to make Xu Da cry and call his mother.

But Xu Da is worse than him, he thinks that if Wang Baobao attacks Beiping, then he will take advantage of this time to swallow Taiyuan in one bite, one for one seems fair, but Wang Baobao suffers a big loss.

If Wang Baobao returned to the division to rescue Taiyuan, then he would stop Wang Baobao's way to Taiyuan with leisure, and at the same time let the 200,000 Chinese troops brought by Deng Yu wrap Wang Baobao's dumplings of more than 100,000 cavalry, and serve Wang Baobao in one pot.

After listening to Xu Da's explanation, Ma Du felt that his head was not enough, and in his heart he reviewed the naïve idea of leading troops to fight in Shangdu some time ago.

Xu Da's bad intentions are only used in the battle array, and he is still a good person in peacetime. Following such a coach Ma Du was down-to-earth, he hurriedly returned to the camp to rest, and the next day before dawn, the nearly 10,000 army led by Xu Da set off.

It wasn't until the third pole of the day that he joined the other way led by Chang Yuchun. Chang Yuchun did not attack the city after arriving in Taiyuan first, he knew that Xu Da's plan was only to block the surroundings of Taiyuan, that is, he was afraid that Taiyuan's fine work would get in touch with Wang Baobao, who might come back to attack, and come to meet with each other.

Xu Da immediately ordered the soldiers to bury the pot and cook, and the generals went to Xu Da's tent to discuss military affairs. The content of the discussion is nothing more than whether to fight or not to fight this Taiyuan city.

Those who suggested attacking Taiyuan believed that capturing Taiyuan would not only remove the hidden worries of the enemy's internal and external cooperation, but also use the enemy's family to coerce the enemy's army, which would have many benefits.

It is not recommended to attack Taiyuan, believing that once the siege is not smooth, not only will the tired division meet the upcoming Wang Baobao, but when the army is withdrawn, it will also let the Taiyuan city know the news of Wang Baobao's reinforcement, which is very risky.

Anyway, the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and even a famous general like Xu Da couldn't make up his mind for a while, and Xu Da also asked Ma Du's opinion. Ma Du knows a fart, since he heard Xu Da's plan last night, he decided not to talk nonsense anymore, so as not to be seen as a joke.

Just when Xu Da hesitated, a small scout quickly ended the dispute, and the scout was out of breath, his eyes were about to roll, and he seemed to be about to run to death.

"Pseudo-Yuan Qi...... King...... Led more than 10,000 ...... Cavalry...... Accordingly...... Less than fifty miles ......"

"Impossible!" The generals in the handsome tent responded in unison, including Xu Da.

Xu Da, who had already stood up from the stool, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet in hatred after being stunned for a moment, "What a cunning Wang Baobao!" ”

Xu Da is a famous general, and so is Wang Baobao, but the object of his allegiance is too bad, he doesn't support him, doesn't encourage him, and pulls his hind legs, so there is no chance to establish Xu Da's achievements.

He also realized that there was a risk of being dumpled when returning to the division for rescue, and on the surface, he let the main force break through in Baoding, and secretly led more than 10,000 elites to make a detour with two horses, galloping day and night to stab Xu Dabu's chrysanthemum.

It's a shame that Xu Da pulled out the camp earlier today, otherwise he would have really succeeded. Xu Da was not glad that the chrysanthemum was preserved, but was very annoyed because his dumplings were filled.

According to his plan, it will take about three days for his Chinese army to complete the encirclement of Taiyuan, and he and Chang Yuchun will lead the vanguard elite and the Chinese army to flank and flank Wang Baobao's more than 100,000 cavalry.

Now that the dumpling filling came in early, but the skin was not rolled out, it meant that his entire plan had failed, and Wang Baobao would not give him three days if his brain was convulsive. Xu Da, who was still hesitating just now, immediately made a decision, and the whole army immediately prepared for battle, and Wang Baobao must not be allowed to enter Taiyuan City.

Seeing that Xu Da intends to resist to the end, as long as he can make Wang Baobao unable to enter Taiyuan City within three days, his plan is still possible to be completed. However, in these three days, the Ming army outside the city is at risk of being attacked from inside and outside, and it is too difficult to know that the city is fighting outside the city for three days.

Ma Du snorted and poured a bowl of rice into his stomach and began to prepare for war. As soon as he gave the order, the well-trained musket battalion and the artillery battalion immediately assembled and formed two neat phalanxes.

"The fourth battalion of the musket battalion has been assembled, please instruct the officer!"

"The second battalion of the artillery battalion has been assembled, please instruct the officer!"

Tang Ding and a young man stood in front of Ma Du with his waist straight, this young man was once Deng Yu's subordinate, and now the artillery battalion held the position of Qianhu.

This man's surname is Fan, and he was originally called Fan Wuliu or Fan Chujiu, and I don't know what Mu Ying thinks, but he changed his name to Fan Jin, and it's rare that he likes it a lot.

Ma Du said sonorously: "Take a break!" Wait for the commander's order. ”

Ma Du called the two of them to him and whispered: "You both know that I can't fight, at most I will give an order to the commander, and it will be up to you how to fight when the time comes." ”

"There are subordinates here, I won't let you bother!" The two of them patted their chests and promised.

In fact, Xu Da can command these two teams by himself, and Ma Du is actually redundant in the middle. However, as the nominal commander, he still hurriedly found Xu Da and asked him to arrange the platoon, especially the artillery battalion needed to designate gun positions. Once this big guy is in place, no matter what the battle looks like, I'm afraid he won't have a chance to move.

Chang Yuchun, who was in Xu Da's tent, said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to use this gun battalion, and Wang Baobao is not one of those stinky fish and rotten shrimps, and his head was kicked by a donkey before hitting your gun!" ”

"Hurry up and get busy with you!" Xu Da drove Chang Yuchun away, and designated artillery positions for Ma Du's troops. It's just a hundred cannons, which were dismantled by Xu Da in all directions, and some of the artillery pieces were arranged by him in the most central position, I don't know if they are going to fight the enemy or their own people.

Ma Du did not have any objection to the arrangement of the famous general, and hurriedly returned to the camp, according to the position designated by Xu Da, let Fan Jin place the artillery, and Ma Du and Tang Ding followed Xu Da with the musket battalion as a temporary Chinese army. After the army was assembled, the phalanx of 20,000 people was terrible, and only the sound of horses snorting came and went.

It didn't take long to hear the rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Xu Da, who was standing on the small soil slope, held a telescope in his hand and said with a smile in his mouth: "It's here!" ”
