Chapter 189: Prepare for an Ambush

After watching the vanguard escort the prisoners and captured booty to set off, Zhou Ze also set off with the rest of the men.

I thought that it would not be so easy to take down the small city of Fu'an, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth.

This kind of smoothness made Zhou Ze feel a little unsatisfied, and after a night of thinking, he set his sights on the defenders of Jianning City.

Of course, he was not arrogant and planned to use the only half of the regiment in his hands to conquer Jianning City.

After all, Jianning City is also a big city in the southeast, and because it is Zheng Zhilong's hometown, the city wall is tall and there is a moat.

The defenders also had about 10,000 men. Although Zhou Ze has a mortar company in his hand, he does not have heavy artillery that can attack the city, although he is confident, he will not arrogantly think that he can use this force to conquer Jianning City.

And even if it is defeated, the second regiment will suffer heavy casualties.

This loss-making transaction, Zhou Ze will not do.

Zhou Ze remembered very well that when His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was inspecting the troops, he once told them: "If you save people and lose land, people and land will survive, and if you save land and lose people, you will lose people and land." ”

The city is there, and you can't run away. But people are different, and when people die, they really die. If the troops are gone, then they are really gone.

The establishment of an elite army is not as simple as overnight, but has been tempered through countless battles and hard training, so Zhou Ze will not easily take the lives of his brothers to fight a city that is not necessarily overcome.

Zhou Ze's plan was very simple and practical, that is, to send a small force to Jianning City to provoke and scold.

He believed that Zheng Sen had fled into Jianning City.

If Zheng Sen could even endure this, then he would have no choice but to admit it.

However, he believed that Zheng Sen, who was only 18 years old, was in the prime of his blood, and would definitely not easily endure this anger.

And seeing that there are so few enemies, he will definitely give the order to go out of the city to pursue.

But Zheng Sen is not the kind of real reckless man, when he goes out of the city to pursue, he will definitely leave most of the men and horses to defend the city to prevent the Qin army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Therefore, as long as the troops responsible for luring the enemy will lead the Zheng Jiajun into the pre-set ambush circle, with the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Qin army, the Zheng Jiajun will definitely be able to come and go.

This is Zhou Ze's plan.

His purpose is very simple, that is, to make Zheng Sen, including Zheng Zhilong, all the Zheng family soldiers understand that Qin Jun is not so easy to mess with, if you dare to bite me, I will break your legs, cut off your hands, and by the way, I will kick you in the waist and eye mountain.

The task of luring the enemy was eventually snatched away by Liang Song's reconnaissance squadron.

Although the commanders of other troops also wanted to seize this task of luring the enemy, there was no way, Liang Song was originally in charge of the top soldiers.

Moreover, Liang Song's reconnaissance squadron is a group of monkey spirits, and the kung fu in his hands is also first-class in the second regiment.

Therefore, although the commanders of the other troops were greedy, they only stared dryly, and watched Liang Song leave with a smile and the people of the reconnaissance squadron triumphantly.

The ambush site chosen by Zhou Ze was in a low hilly area about 15 miles away from Jianning City.

The vegetation in this hilly area is not too lush, but it also acts as a shelter, and people hide in it. If you don't get closer, you won't be able to find it.

Although in Zhou Ze's opinion, this hilly area is not very suitable for ambushes, but there is no better choice, after all, the entire southeast region is basically this kind of terrain.

Moreover, this hilly area is between Jianning City and Fu'an City.

If the defenders of Jianning City knew the news of the attack on the small city of Fu'an, they would definitely pass through here if they wanted reinforcements.

Speaking of Zheng Sen, since he fled into Jianning City yesterday, after being comforted by his grandmother, his frustration because of the defeat has gradually calmed down.

And after all, young people are highly motivated, and they will not be slumped because of a blow.

Zheng Sen, who gradually calmed down, felt that he might have overlooked something.

The Qin army's elusiveness and speed of march made him suddenly realize that there were two important targets near Jianning City that could be attacked by the Qin army.

As for Jianning City itself, he didn't think that the Qin army had the courage to rush to steal the city.

After all, Jianning City is also a big city, and it is heavily guarded.

Although he suffered a great loss in the field battle with the Qin army, he did not think that the small army of the Qin army would be able to take Jianning City.

Moreover, Jianning City is not far from Fuzhou, and if there is a battle here, Fuzhou should receive the news soon.

As soon as the army of Fuzhou arrived, the Qin army would be attacked on both sides, so the possibility of the Qin army attacking Jianning City was very small.

Therefore, Zheng Sen quickly focused on the small town of Fu'an in the east and the military horse farm in the west.

It's just that when he thinks about it, he is not so sure.

But after all, he suffered a big loss at the hands of Qin Jun, and he felt that it was better to remind him, so he planned to take some people from Jianning City to inspect these two places as soon as it was dawn.

As soon as dawn, Zheng Sen got up, and he had the habit of getting up early to practice martial arts.

I got up early and practiced the sword for a while, and I was sweating profusely, and I felt a lot of depression in my heart.

After washing, Mrs. Zheng's little maid brought Zheng Sen breakfast.

didn't have time to pay attention to the little girl's shy expression, Zheng Sen hurriedly ate breakfast, and then rushed to the camp of the defenders of Jianning City with a few personal soldiers.

The main general of the defenders was not surprised to see Zheng Sen, the soldiers guarding the gate yesterday had already reported to him.

Seeing that Zheng Sen's face was not good, the main general did not dare to say much after being polite.

Zheng Sen doesn't talk nonsense, he will say what he wants in the future. The general hesitated slightly, and then readily agreed.

Although this is not in accordance with the rules, who makes the family a major general. And I heard that this young general is not a nonsense person, and this time he is not going to fight, but just to inspect.

Zheng Sen saw that the other party agreed to the request to transfer troops, and his heart was also a lot more comfortable.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint burst of gunfire outside the West Gate.

Just when he didn't know why, a soldier hurriedly ran over and shouted to the main general: "General, there is a group of strangely dressed men and horses from outside the city who claim to be the Qin army, clamoring to let the young general go out and be captured. ”

The soldier didn't know Zheng Sen, so he didn't shy away from it.

The lord general looked embarrassed after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at Zheng Sen.

After Zheng Sen listened, his face instantly turned black, he glared at the soldier fiercely, took the horsewhip, stepped on the mount, and hurriedly ran towards the gate.

The Lord will secretly cry out in his heart, thinking that it will be all right.

After being stunned for a moment, he kicked the soldier who came to report to the ground and scolded: "Idiot." I really don't know whether to live or die. ”

Then let one of the soldiers next to him hurry to pass his order to gather the team and prepare to go up the city wall.

After giving the order, he hurriedly stepped on the war horse and chased after Zheng Sen.
