Chapter 393: Soldiers Gather in Xuanfu

"Do you think this letter is fake, Tao Min is lying to us?" Han Wantao asked again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"All I can say is a half-truth. Tao Min may have this idea, but none of us can guarantee it. Xu Lang looked up at the two of them, "These days, we have been led by Tao Min's nose, always thinking about whether we can make him fall out with Huang Taiji." But we ignore ourselves, as long as we have the ability, it doesn't matter what Tao Min does. ā€

"You mean to ignore the letter?" Zhang Hai asked.

"Yes, it doesn't matter." Xu Lang replied, "We came according to the original plan. Because we can't be sure if Tao Min really wants to flank Huang Taiji, he should have taken Naturalization City by now. If we let go of these 70,000 banners, in case Tao Min is lying to us, then Korea, Northeast China, and Mongolia will be connected, and Huang Taiji's power will increase greatly, so we must give them heavy damage. Even if we make a mistake in decision-making and Huang Taiji gets rid of Tao Min, it means that we have one less opponent. ā€

"Okay, we don't care about him." Han Wantao simply told Zhang Hai about the ambush plan, "Zhang Hai, I have to work hard for you, go back to Jiang Beiming immediately and tell him about this plan." Let Beiming strive to pull out the Shenji Battalion and the Quick Gun Team to join the Independent Division, and there are too few people if the Independent Division is ambushed. ā€

"I understand." Zhang Hai saluted, "If there is nothing else, I will leave immediately." ā€

Han Wantao and Xu Lang also saluted: "Hard work, take care." ā€

The 2nd and 3rd Regiments of the Independent Division came to Xuanfu Town after a few days of trekking. The entire Xuanfu Town shouted and neighed, and Lu Baozhong had gathered nearly 30,000 horses.

"General Zhou is really timely." In the General Army's Mansion, Lu Baozhong met with Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang alone, and Guan Mingke was also on the side.

"General Wang has also worked hard." Wang Qianxiang is not under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu Town, and Lu Baozhong said politely to Wang Qianxiang.

"Thank you, Lord Commander." Wang Qianxiang replied, "I received the order of General Wang, and I need to return to Datong Town immediately, and I want to set off tomorrow." ā€

"General Wang doesn't know." Guan Mingke said on the side, "The Tartars are now storming Datong, and the passage from Xuanfu to Datong has been cut off by the Tartars, and General Wang may not be able to go back." ā€

"Really?" Wang Qianxiang stood up in shock, "Isn't that General Soldier Wang dangerous, and you can go to save General Soldier Wang." ā€

"General Wang, don't be impatient." Lu Baozhong dissuaded, "Datong Mansion City is full of soldiers, and General Soldier Wang will not be in any danger." General Wang's subordinates are less than 2,000 people, and if you go back like this, you will be in the mouth of the tiger, and the general is still waiting in my Xuanfu Town, and the reinforcements from the imperial court are about to arrive. ā€

Zhou Lei interjected and asked, "Lord Lu, has the imperial court sent reinforcements?" ā€

"We just got the news." Guan Mingke said, "Lord Zhang, the secretary of the military department, led an army of 100,000 troops, and he has set off and will arrive in Xuanfu Town in a few days. Your General Chiang also came with the army. ā€

Zhou Lei asked again: "Then I don't know how the adults will arrange it?" ā€

"This official has already conveyed the general order to various places." Lu Baozhong said, "All the Weibao are assembled in Xuanfu Town and wait for Lord Zhang. Let's make plans when Master Zhang comes. ā€

Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang returned to the station, and Han Wantao had just received the information sent by Lin Zhaolong.

"Zhaolong, they have arrived in Huai'anwei, and now they are advancing towards Zhenning Fort." After speaking, Han Wantao asked, "Is there any news from Lu Baozhong?" ā€

"Lu Baozhong has gathered 30,000 horses, he means that when Zhang Fengyi comes, Lu Baozhong will not dare to attack rashly."

"So what are we going to do?" Han Wantao asked Xu Lang, "Are we waiting here or doing something." ā€

"I'll do the math first." Xu Lang stared at the map for a long time, "Do you think if Zhang Fengyi comes, will Azig fight or retreat." ā€

"I guess I'll be able to fight." Zhou Lei said, "Azig will not take the initiative to retreat without fighting, that would be too embarrassing for Huang Taiji." ā€

"I think he's going to pull out." Wang Qianxiang disagreed with Zhou Lei's judgment, "The purpose of Azig's entry into the customs this time is to rob the population, he brought a large number of people and supplies, and his actions are slow, so he should not fight." ā€

"I agree with Qianxiang's opinion, Azig should not fight." Xu Lang looked at the map again, "According to the speed of the Ming army, Zhang Fengyi may have more than ten days to reach Xuanfu." At that time, Azig should have received the news that Tao Min had taken Naturalization City, and the looting was almost over, he would definitely leave. ā€

"Then it's too late for us to get to the ambush site." Han Wantao felt that time was a little tight.

"It's in time." Xu Lang pointed to the map and said, "The main force of the Eight Banners must be besieging Datong Mansion now, and the distance from Datong Mansion to Zhenning Fort is about the same as from Xuanfu Town to Zhenning Fort, but the marching speed of the Yulin Army and the Shenji Battalion is faster than that of the Eight Banners." Moreover, Azig will not leave the customs immediately even if he arrives at Zhenning Fort, and he still has to rectify the population and materials, so in terms of time, we are completely in time. ā€

"Wan Tao." Xu Lang straightened up, "You immediately send a message to Lin Zhaolong, and ask him to find an ambush location as soon as possible and build fortifications; Send another message to Beiming, urge him, and let him find a way to discuss with Zhang Fengyi, it is best for the Shenji Battalion and the Quick Gun Team to break away from the reinforcements and rush to Xuanfu Town as soon as possible. As soon as we meet up with him, we will go to the ambush point, the sooner the better. ā€

"It's no problem to send a letter to Lin Zhaolong." Han Wantao asked worriedly, "Can Beiming convince Zhang Fengyi, the Shenji Battalion and the Quick Gun Team are the elite of the Ming Dynasty." ā€

"Send the news over first, let Beiming try his best, he should be able to figure out a way."

Eight days later, Jiang Beiming led the Shenji Battalion and the Quick Gun Team to Xuanfu Town. In eight days, the emergency documents from Datong Town were delivered to Xuanfu like snowflakes, but Lu Baozhong remained stationary, just waiting for Zhang Fengyi's arrival.

"Beiming, why are you here alone, Zhang Hai?" Han Wantao didn't see Zhang Hai and asked.

"Leave Zhang Fengyi as a hostage." Jiang Beiming explained with a smile, "I received your news and went to discuss it with Zhang Fengyi, and he didn't agree to let me go first." I couldn't help it, so I gave him a military order, and Zhang Hai stayed with him. ā€

"Wouldn't that sea be dangerous?" Wang Qianxiang asked uneasily.

"No, it won't." Jiang Beiming replied, "I have thought carefully about this ambush plan, and there is no problem. As long as we hit the Eight Banners hard, Zhang Hai will be safe. ā€

"Leave that alone." Xu Lang said, "Beiming, we received news from Lin Zhaolong yesterday that he has already found an ambush point and is building fortifications. Zhou Lei, you go and talk to Lu Baozhong tomorrow, let's leave the day after tomorrow. ā€
