Zhang Xianzhong also knew about this series of battles not long after, after all, the light cavalry of the Model Army was limited in number, and it was impossible to completely cover the battlefield. www.biquge.info If the model army can really do this, Zhang Xianzhong is estimated to take the team immediately, turn around and flee. Because it means that the enemy on the opposite side is unimaginably strong. Most of the scouts sent by Zhang Xianzhong, except for a few that went too far, went back safely. And even the scouts who encountered the light cavalry of the Model Army, some of them ran back. After listening to the reports of these scouts, especially those who had escaped from the swords of the light cavalry. Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and let the scouts go down, instead of ordering them to be killed like some perverts who portrayed Zhang Xianzhong as a murderous playmate.

Waiting for those scouts to go down, Zhang Xianzhong paced around the military tent twice, and then still returned to the middle and sat down, and said to Sun Kewang who was sitting on the side: "Boss, what do you think?" ”

Sun Kewang frowned and said, "Daddy, the child thinks that the cavalry of these officers and soldiers is very elite, but judging from the number of times we have encountered them, I am afraid that their number is not much. Moreover, when our army was fighting with Huang Degong in Tongcheng, they also caught his soldiers, and they said that there was a pro-military battalion of Ma Shiying, the governor of Lufeng, which was very well equipped. However, the number of people is only about 1,000. I heard from the scouts that the enemy's horses and weapons are very good, and I think this is the team. ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said, "That's right." Then talk about what do you think we should do with these officers and soldiers now? ”

"Daddy, the child thinks that judging from these scouts of the enemy, although these people were temporarily pulled up by that Ma Shiying, they are still very capable of fighting. If the soldiers in his own barracks looked like this, it would be a bit numb. However, the child thinks that these people are probably also selected family members and the like. Ma Shiying's pro-military camp should not be so powerful. And even if it's like this, it's only a thousand people, and now, what use can these thousand people have? Sun Kewang said, "The child thinks that we can continue to scout and ride out, and at the same time continue to march towards Fengyang." I don't think they'll be able to intercept our scouts tomorrow like they did today. After all, their horses are not immune to tiredness. ”

"If Ma Shiying's pro-military battalion is really that capable of fighting, it will be a trouble." Zhang Xianzhong said, "I heard that Fengyang also has a city wall now?" ”

"Daddy, there's a wall." Liu Wenxiu, who was also staying on the side, replied with a smile, "After being attacked by my father last time, those officials are finally willing to build a city wall in Fengyang. ”

Fengyang is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, and the ancestral tomb of the old Zhu family is here. In order to protect Feng Shui, Fengyang has to be very careful to carry out large construction, the city wall or something, will naturally have an impact on Feng Shui, as for what kind of influence, how to build to ensure that there is only a good influence, no bad influence, for two hundred years, Feng Shui masters have argued and argued in the past, and there is no conclusion. As a result, Fengyang never dared to build a city wall. It wasn't until Zhang Xianzhong attacked Fengyang and burned the imperial tomb that the Ming Dynasty didn't care about studying the relationship between the city wall and feng shui, and hurriedly built the city wall, and even dug out a fairly wide moat, but by this time, there was still a section of the moat that could not be completed.

"I don't know what these idiots are doing with the walls now." Zhang Xianzhong also laughed.

……

Just as Sun Kewang estimated, the next day, the Ming army's interception of Zhang Xianzhong's reconnaissance cavalry was greatly reduced. More information was sent to Zhang Xianzhong's military tent, but at the same time, Ming reconnaissance cavalry also appeared near Zhang Xianzhong's main force. These scouts were so fast that several pursuits organized by Liu Wenxiu's troops failed to pose any threat to them. From a certain point of view, today's battlefield is more transparent to both sides to a certain extent.

"Daddy, the city wall of Fengyang has been built, and the circle around the city wall is not large, but the city wall is still a little high. Taller than Tongcheng's. The moat was also dug and was more than three feet wide. But the north side hasn't had time to dig yet. Ma Shiying's pro-soldier camp built a large camp on the north side of the city wall and guarded it inside. In the military tent, Liu Wenxiu was reporting to Zhang Xianzhong on the reconnaissance situation, "A few days ago, the imperial court also sent Liu Zeqing to help, but Ma Shiying used Liu Zeqing to collude with us, killed Liu Zeqing, and seized his army. ”

"What about the Imperial Tomb?" Zhang Xianzhong asked again.

"The imperial tomb is also guarded by an army, and a wall has also been built, and it is on the mountain, so it is very difficult to fight. And I guess there's nothing good in it. Liu Wenxiu replied.

Zhang Xianzhong no longer spoke, but stretched out his right hand and tapped it gently with two fingers on the wooden table next to him.

"It is estimated that there will not be too many things in Fengyang City, this place is not a rich place in the first place. However, if we can't break through this line, it will be difficult for us to enter Gangnam. Zhang Xianzhong muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Daddy, the child thinks that we might as well make a posture of besieging Fengyang and recruit the second child and them. As long as we exert pressure, Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong from Tongcheng will most likely follow, and then we will concentrate our efforts on killing them. Sun Kewang suddenly said, "As long as they are killed in the field battle, Tongcheng will be just around the corner, and then the entire Jiangnan will be ......."

Now that the decline of the Ming Dynasty has become more and more obvious, even Sun Kewang and these people know that the demise of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner. Zhang Xianzhong naturally wouldn't be unaware of this. Now for him, robbery is no longer the first goal, and he has begun to have some long-term considerations of his own.

Before moving eastward, he had contact with Li Zicheng. Now the power in Li Zicheng's hands has swelled greatly, and he has begun to aspire to the world. Zhang Xianzhong does not plan to take refuge in Li Zicheng, at least, not yet. But he also felt that he was not able to compete directly with Li Zicheng now, and the Ming Dynasty was not over, and it was not the time to turn against Li Zicheng. But he also has to prepare for the future. Li Zicheng is now making trouble in the Central Plains, and Zhang Xianzhong is thinking of Jiangnan. If he takes Jiangnan and occupies Jianghuai, he will have the basis to fight against Li Zicheng in the future.

Zhang Xianzhong thought about it, and then said to Sun Kewang: "If that's the case, then those people on the second side's side can't be thrown away indiscriminately." You immediately send someone over and contact the second child......"
