Fu Zonglong's troops entered Xihua, and after joining Yang Wenyue, they marched south together to the northeast of Runing City.

At this time, the Mandate of Heaven Army, except for the first and second regiments led by Li Xinqin to garrison the city, the remaining six regiments had more than 30,000 people, but they were stationed in Sanlipu in the southeast, and they were horns with each other in the city.

Fu Zonglong discussed with Yang Wenyue, wanting to divide the troops, one to attack the city, and the other to attack the camp of the Sanli Mandate Army.

Yang Wenyue's troops were defeated by the Heavenly Mandate Army twice, and when he mentioned the Heavenly Mandate Army, he was already frightened, so he opposed the division of troops, "Master Fu, the Heavenly Mandate Army has always been cunning, if the troops are divided, in case they are broken by each other......"

Although Fu Zonglong wanted to avenge the defeat of Sichuan, he did not dare to despise the Mandate of Heaven Army, so he said: "If we concentrate our forces on raiding the Mandate of Heaven Army in Sanlipu, if the Mandate of Heaven Army in the city goes out of the city, our army will be attacked by the north and south, and tens of thousands of troops are here, once there is chaos, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Xia Guan has an idea," Yang Wenyue had to hug Fu Zonglong's thigh no matter what, and said that Shaanxi soldiers can fight, and they must not be left alone, "Xia Guan divided 10,000 soldiers to Hu Dawei, and asked him to keep an eye on the Heavenly Mandate Army in the city, and the rest of the armies to attack the Heavenly Mandate Army's camp in Sanlipu. ”

Fu Zonglong thought about it carefully, this is a good idea, the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Mandate Army is too strong, there are tens of thousands of Heavenly Mandate troops in Sanlipu, even if his own 20,000 troops are pressed over, they may not be able to win.

The Mandate of Heaven army in the city is backed by the city wall, and it will be difficult to take it for a while and a half......

The Ming army began to move the camp, and the main forces of Fu Zonglong and Yang Wenyue's troops re-encamped in the southeast corner of the city, less than 20 miles away from Sanlipu, while Hu Dawei camped alone in the east of the city, on the one hand, for the rear of the army, and on the other hand, it was also to cut the Mandate of Heaven Army in the city and the Mandate of Heaven Army in Sanlipu.

The distance of twenty miles is too close, this is a precursor to battle, if one side steals the camp, the other party will not even have time to react.

Fu Zonglong squeezed the Heavenly Mandate Army, that is, he expected a decisive battle between the two sides, and he knew the weakness of the Ming army: there was not enough food and grass!

The Ming army, which was short of food and grass, could not fight a protracted war at all.

If we can solve the Heavenly Mandate Army outside the city as soon as possible, and then work together with Yang Wenyue to take Runing City, maybe there will be grain and grass, and there will be tens of thousands of Heavenly Mandate troops in Runing, and there will definitely be no shortage of grain and grass.

But Fu Zonglong knew that, just like Yang Wenyue said, Li Zicheng had always been scheming, in case he was attacked by the Heavenly Mandate Army at night......

He not only strengthened the vigilance around the camp, but also sent a large number of rangers to search in all directions, and the front had reached the area around the camp of the Mandate of Heaven, and there had been many skirmishes between the two rangers.

The Mandate of Heaven army lacked war horses and the number of rangers was insufficient, so Li Zicheng had to release some of his own soldiers and temporarily serve as rangers.

At nightfall, the moon disappears into the deep clouds, and most of the stars have abandoned their usual posts, with only one or two stars blinking occasionally.

Li Zicheng's personal soldiers, following the Metropolitan Governor, have always been not lacking in military merits, but their responsibility is to protect the Metropolitan Governor, military merits are rewarded, and there are few opportunities to directly participate in the war.

They took small flags as units, or hid in the shadows, or went deep into the Ming army's rangers, and shot the Ming army's rangers within a range of more than ten miles around the camp.

The soldiers were all equipped with rifles, and they had an advantage in range, and the Ming army's rangers suffered heavy losses, and when the news reached Fu Zonglong's ears, he couldn't help but be surprised: Why did the Heavenly Mandate Army expel the rangers of the officers and soldiers? Are they going to steal the camp?

Fu Zonglong didn't dare to sleep, so he ordered to send more manpower to strengthen the vigilance on all sides of the camp and closely watch the movements of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

More rangers were dispatched, knowing that the casualties were not small, but Fu Zonglong couldn't take care of it, and the safety of the camp was the most important thing.

After many rangers were sent out, they sank into the sea like a stone and a bird into the sky, and never came back!

Fu Zonglong's face was gloomy, he was frightened for half the night, but the Heavenly Mandate Army had no sign of stealing the camp at all, and it was not until dawn that his heart settled down a little.

After the Ming army had breakfast, Fu Zonglong and Yang Wenyue gathered 20,000 soldiers and went to challenge in front of the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army, leaving only 10,000 soldiers to guard the camp.

In the camp of the Mandate of Heaven, the soldiers were ready to fight, and their hands were already on their bows and arrows, but they just didn't leave the camp and confronted the Ming army with fences, horse piles, etc.

Fu Zonglong saw that the Heavenly Mandate Army refused to go out of the camp for a decisive battle, so he asked the soldiers to release arrows into the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army, wanting to provoke the Heavenly Mandate Army.

The soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army, naturally not to be outdone, shot each other through the fence to rain arrows at each other.

Although protected by shields, many arrows are thrown into the air, then fall vertically and burrow into the gaps in the shields. The hit rate of the projectile will not be too high, however, the arrows on both sides are very dense, and there are still many casualties.

Inside and outside the fence, there are ghosts crying wolves!

Although the wounded soldiers were treated by their comrades, it is unclear whether they will recover and whether they will be able to go to the battlefield in the future.

When it comes to archery, the Ming army has superior skills, and these soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army have not been in the army for a long time, and a lot of time is spent on the march, and the archery skills have not been effectively trained at all.

But the Mandate of Heaven Army is in the camp, in addition to shields, there are also fences, tents and other obstacles to protect the casualties, and the casualties of the soldiers are similar to those of the Ming army.

Yang Wenyue saw that many of his subordinate soldiers were killed or wounded, and his brows suddenly locked into lying silkworms, these are his treasures, without soldiers, he is the governor of the bare pole......

However, seeing that the casualties of the Heavenly Mandate Army on the opposite side were not light, his eyes flashed with excitement again: the two sides were just competing for attrition!

Such a result should be satisfactory to him.

Hu Dawei was slaughtered on the banks of the Jialu River in Weishi County and himself in Mi County, and when he fought a decisive battle with the Mandate of Heaven Army......

Yang Wenyue was stunned suddenly, well, why doesn't the Heavenly Mandate Army use firearms? Aren't the range of their firearms far superior to that of the bows and arrows of officers and soldiers? If the Mandate of Heaven Army shoots with firearms, the officers and soldiers will not only be sent to death, but they will stare dryly!

Could it be that the Manifest Destiny Army is running out of ammunition? Or is the Firearms Army of the Mandate of Heaven not in Runing at all?

Yang Wenyue estimated that the Mandate of Heaven Army was a rogue after all, and there would never be too many firearms against the sky, and it was entirely possible that the ammunition was exhausted and the firearms were damaged and could not be repaired for a while......

No matter which possibility it is, as long as there is no such firearm in the large camp of the Mandate of Heaven Army, it is an opportunity for officers and soldiers!

If I knew this, I wouldn't have to pretend to be sick in Xihua County.

Yang Wenyue regretted a little, he knew that the Heavenly Mandate Army outside the city did not have firearms, so he should not have let Hu Dawei be stationed in the east of the city and resist the Heavenly Mandate Army in the city alone......

Did the Providential Mandate really lose this sharp firearm?

Yang Wenyue was a little uncertain, but with his experience, every time he fought with the Heavenly Mandate Army, he had never seen the hidden strength of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

Looking at the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army who kept falling in the camp, and the screams that kept coming from the camp, a grim smile appeared on his face.

Yang Wenyue immediately found Fu Zonglong, "Did Master Fu find anything?" ”

"In addition to the casualties, it is the rain of arrows above the head," Fu Zonglong was worried about the casualties, so he said angrily: "Could it be that Lord Yang has discovered the flaws in the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"I didn't find the flaw," Yang Wenyue's face was full of pride, "Lord Fu has fought against the Heavenly Mandate Army before?" ”

"Hmm!" Fu Zonglong nodded, his eyes still on the rain of arrows in front of him.

Yang Wenyue said with a smile: "Then Master Fu, do you know what is the most powerful firearm of the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"The most powerful firearm of the Heavenly Mandate Army is naturally their rifle ......" Speaking of this, Fu Zonglong was suddenly startled, turned his head, and said, "Lord Yang is saying that the Heavenly Mandate Army in the camp still has rifles that are not used?" ”

"If there are rifles in the Manifest Destiny camp, why not use them? Could it be that Li Zicheng was willing to watch his soldiers suffer casualties? Yang Wenyue said: "According to the estimation of the lower officer, the rifles of the Heavenly Mandate Army are either short of ammunition, or the firearms soldiers are not in the camp?" ”

"No ammo?" Fu Zonglong then remembered that the Heavenly Mandate Army also suffered heavy casualties, but he did not use a rifle with an advantage in range, "It can't be Li Zicheng's strategy, right?" ”

"Xia Guan also thought that this might be Li Zicheng's ploy to deliberately show weakness to us," Yang Wenyue said: "However, Li Zicheng has always cherished soldiers, and every time he fights, he puts the most elite firearms soldiers on the front line, just to reduce the casualties of soldiers. If that's the case, I'm afraid his subordinates won't agree either, right? ”

"What does Lord Yang mean......"

"Since there are no rifles in the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army, it is our opportunity," Yang Wenyue said: "Without the rifle, the Heavenly Mandate Army is completely a rogue, and it no longer has the strength to fight with officers and soldiers in the field." ”

Fu Zonglong was also a little moved, when he was in Sichuan, he had suffered a loss of rifles, obviously he was the governor of Sichuan appointed by the imperial court, but he couldn't even knock on the door of Sichuan, "Lord Yang is saying that we should storm the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"Just in case, this morning, let's try to storm first," Yang Wenyue was a little proud, the secret of the Heavenly Mandate Army, after all, he discovered it, "If the rifles of the Heavenly Mandate Army have not appeared, let the soldiers rest for an afternoon, and tomorrow will fully attack the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and if necessary, transfer the 10,000 soldiers of Hu Dawei over!" ”

Fu Zonglong nodded, Yang Wenyue's idea is indeed good, the officers and soldiers have been attacking for half a day, and the number of casualties on both sides will not be less, if the rifle of the Heavenly Mandate Army has not yet appeared, it means that there is no rifle in the camp, or there is a lack of ammunition supply!

If the Mandate of Heaven Army does not have a rifle, it is like a toothless tiger, no matter how much it jumps, it is not an opponent of officers and soldiers, at most it runs to the mountains and hides.

There are no deep mountains near Runing Mansion, so there is nowhere to hide if you want to!

If you can destroy Li Zicheng in one piece......

Fu Zonglong's heart was already like a surging river, but his mind was still clear, so he said to Yang Wenyue: "Until the last resort, don't move the Tiger Dawei Department, he still has to contain the Heavenly Mandate Army in the city!" ”
