After listening to Zhou Xiuying's words, Xu Hongru was full of disapproval, waved his hand and said: "The court officials and soldiers in the rest of the places are all wine bags and rice bags, and it is not bad if they don't make trouble for Ji Qingwen, a thief, and I can't count on them to come over to help in the war." ”

"Yes!" Xu Daoqing also echoed, "In such a big battle, these rice buckets may not dare to come over and send them to death." Even if they come, as long as they divide their troops and intimidate, they will be able to scare them all away. What's more, now that the officials and troops of the imperial court are all north of the Oujiang River and south of the Feiyun River, it will take at least half a day to rush over, and at this time, Ji Qingwen has been trampled into meat sauce by the brothers! ”

Xu Daoqing is not a person who underestimates the enemy, and it is not completely groundless for him to say such things, but he is only half right in what he said; And in the end, in this fateful decisive battle, the loss was lost by half of what Xu Daoqing did not guess correctly.

In any case, in the eyes of Xu Hongru, Xu Daoqing and others, only the Ming Wu Army under Ji Qingwen and the white pole soldiers under Qin Xiangzhen can be worthy of a battle, and the rest of the men and horses are just some local chickens and grass dogs, which are not worth fearing.

And now, Ji Qingwen is a lone army not far from the west of Wenzhou City, and another strong force of white pole soldiers is still stationed near Liyukou in Guanling, Fujian.

So, on the second day after Wang Xiaowu failed to send the war letter, Xu Hongru, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, ordered to open the three gates of Wenzhou City, due west, north and south, and Xu Daoqing led more than 2,000 new high-rollers in the rivers and lakes under the White Lotus Sect, Zhou Xiuying led 3,000 "women's army", and Xu Hongru personally led more than 3,000 disciples of the old White Lotus Sect.

A decisive battle is about to begin.

Through Li Yuanyin's relationship, Ji Qingwen is full of eyeliner inside and outside Wenzhou City, which can be regarded as clear ears and eyes. However, it was the end of the Ming Dynasty in the seventeenth century, and there was neither a mobile phone, nor a radio station, nor the Internet, so he did not know about the sudden action of the White Lotus Sect for the first time, but was camping at the foot of Wulong Mountain, forty miles west of Wenzhou City.

Although Wenzhou City is located on the Zhejiang Plain, but there is a mountain in the west, and this Wulong Mountain is adjacent to the barrier of this mountain, facing the vast plain, it is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, Ji Qingwen chose to set up a camp here, and it is also a synthesis of the opinions of Li Yan, Li Yuanyin, Yang Zhan and several others, only to draw the best choice.

Before Ji Qingwen set up the camp, he ushered in a group of old people, who were not bystanders, but the Sichuan Shiqi Tusi soldiers and horses led by the female general Qin Xiangzhen - the white pole soldiers.

When Ji Qingwen heard that they were coming, he was overjoyed at first, but then he was shocked, and hurriedly greeted him out of the camp, caught Qin Xiangzhen and asked, "Miss Qin, aren't you on the side of Liyukou?" How did you get here? It is the key point for Zhejiang to enter Fujian, and you can't leave your post without permission. ”

Qin Xiangzhen looked serious and said, "It's okay, Fujian Governor Zou Weilian came over, and he said that he would guard the carp mouth for me." I was still a little worried, so I asked him to use the trunk of the troubled times to seal the carp mouth first, and then send elite soldiers to guard it. Now it's hard for a rabbit to walk, let alone a human. ”

Ji Qingwen listened, nodded reassuringly, and said: "This is good, this is good, Miss Qin has been rushing thousands of miles over, presumably because people are sleepy and tired." You see I'm camping here, why don't you order the white pole soldiers under your command to be stationed with us, and then make a plan after a short rest? ”

Qin Xiangzhen said, "Rest? Why take a break? Lord Ji, you see that it is still early, I don't think there is any need to set up camp, just bury the pot on the spot to make food, and after a full meal, you can attack Wenzhou City and annihilate the White Lotus Sect in one fell swoop, how about it? ”

It turned out that Qin Xiangzhen was still entangled in the failure of the one-on-one fight with Zhou Xiuying a few days ago, and rushed north from Liyukou to Zhejiang in such a hurry, just to take revenge.

Ji Qingwen is a smart person, and he guessed what Qin Xiangzhen used in his words, so he comforted: "What is Miss Qin anxious about?" Now that the White Lotus Sect has been blocked by me in Wenzhou City, it has become the eighth king in the clay pot, and when you want to catch it, just stretch out your hand. The only thing to guard against is Wang Ba's sharp mouth, be careful that Wang Ba grabbed it, and his hand was bitten, so it was not worth it. ”

Ji Qingwen compared the White Lotus Sect to the eighth king, and tactfully persuaded Qin Xiangzhen not to worry, thinking that he was very good at what he said, and he would definitely be able to persuade this female general of Sichuan Tusi.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xiangzhen, a Sichuan girl in a spicy mood, didn't appreciate it much, and said: "Master Ji thinks that we don't have a king in Sichuan?" Bites it, just pulls out Wang Ba's neck, and the handle is a knife, cutting the neck into two pieces, isn't it clean and neat? ”

Qin Xiangzhen's words are quite childish, but after thinking about it, if she revises and improves it on the basis of her words, isn't it an extremely clever strategy to startle the snake and turn the tiger away from the mountain?

But it didn't take time for Ji Qingwen to think about it more, but he saw Li Yuanyin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, running quickly, and reported: "Lord Ji, I got a report from the front, saying that the White Lotus Sect Xu Hongru, Zhou Xiuying, and Xu Daoqing were each leading elite soldiers to kill our army from the middle, north, and south, and there are still about twenty miles from here......"

"Well, I'm not afraid to go to them, they came to us. Just right! I'm just in time to avenge this arrow! Lord Ji, you can give an order, you must let me go to the White Lotus Sect to fight that demon girl surnamed Zhou. Qin Xiangzhen said angrily.

Ji Qingwen was not in a hurry, and said, "Why should Miss Qin be in a hurry? The White Lotus Sect is still twenty miles away from us, and they are not moving fast, to say the least, it will take two hours to get here. In this way, we will first discuss the countermeasures, and at the same time let the soldiers eat and drink enough, and then it is not too late to fight them. ”

Although Qin Xiangzhen was angry, he was not a person who did not know the art of war, knowing that Ji Qingwen was right, he calmed down and ordered his white pole soldiers to eat with the rest of the court officers and soldiers, and he followed Ji Qingwen to the Chinese army tent that had just been set up, and discussed the next strategy with Li Yan, Li Yuanyin, Yang Zhan, Shen Liangzuo and others.

According to the information obtained by Li Yuanyin, the elite soldiers of the White Lotus Sect were led by Xu Hongru, Zhou Xiuying, and Xu Daoqing to kill Ji Qingwen directly, with a number of about 5,000 people; The rest of the brigade followed, numbering about 40,000 men, apparently preparing to come up and besiege.

In this regard, Yang Zhan came up with a-for-tat idea.

The team was also divided into three teams: the first team of the Ming Wu Army, led by Ji Qingwen himself, against Xu Hongru's department; The first team of white pole soldiers was led by Qin Xiangzhen and played against Zhou Xiuying's department; The forbidden army of the Jingshi Battalion was led by Shen Liangzuo and fought against Xu Daoqing's department. The tasks of these three teams are also different, because the Ming Wu army and the white pole soldiers have strong combat effectiveness, and they must strive to defeat their respective opponents in the shortest possible time; And Shen Liangzuo's Jingshi battalion was slightly inferior in combat effectiveness, so he just wanted to hold on to the other two divisions to come over for reinforcements. At that time, as long as these three elite centaurs in the White Lotus Sect are defeated, the rest of the White Lotus Sect's rabble will be self-defeating.

Yang Zhan is worthy of being the person who almost won the martial arts champion back then, and the strategy proposed is really in order, so that Li Yan and Li Yuanyin can't help but nod their heads and say yes.

But Ji Qingwen disagreed, frowned and said: "The opponent is divided into joint attacks, and we divide the troops, this seems to be ...... Something seems to be wrong......"

Ji Qingwen thought about it, suddenly realized, and said: "Do you still remember the battle of Sarhu back then, when the Ming army was also divided into a joint attack, but Manchuria Nurhachi did not divide the troops to attack, but ......"

"Instead, I used the strategy of 'let him come a few ways, I will only go all the way', and concentrated his forces to break the soldiers and horses of the imperial court." Li Yan answered.

"That's right, that's what I said." Ji Qingwen replied, "I'm wondering, with the configuration of our army, what is the better chance of winning against the enemy army on the opposite side?" Or do you have a better chance of winning against all the main forces of the enemy? ”

"Of course, it's a joint force. The odds are better when you join forces! It was Shen Liangzuo who spoke who had been silent until now.

He knew that the combat effectiveness of the Jingshi Battalion under his command was relatively poor, and against the main force of the White Lotus Sect one-on-one, even if it was only a passive defense, he might not have much chance of winning, so he especially hoped to be able to fight with the other two strong armies.
