Fighting alone depends on a person's physical fitness and fighting skills.

There are many factors that determine the outcome of a war, but the most important thing is information, predicting the opponent's actions in advance, then taking the lead everywhere, and it is not so difficult to defeat the strong with the weak.

At present, on the battlefield of Yangzhou, the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties are constantly going back and forth, digging into mountains and digging holes to dig out each other's military information, from the marching route, military deployment, to the soldiers' diet, all of which are within the scope of intelligence collection.

Wang Lanping threw out 600 spies for this battle, which is really pervasive.

But there are always enemy situations that Wang Lanping can't know and unpredictable consequences, such as this time Kong Youde secretly sent 20,000 elites to find the original way back, when this information was sent to Wang Lanping, he was also dumbfounded, he didn't know what trick Kong Youde was playing.

Wang Lanping didn't know that Kong Youde's artillery couldn't keep up with him, and no one believed it when he said it, if he wanted to hit a fortified city like Yangzhou, without artillery, it would be like hitting the city wall with his head, was Kong Youde stupid?

Wang Lanping guessed that the biggest possibility of Kong Youde not moving was that it was raining, the grain was spoiled, and many soldiers in the army fell ill, which can be corroborated by his speculation from the military situation hidden in the Qing army, but there are also other possibilities, such as not having completely figured out the reality of Yangzhou, and it is more likely that he was afraid of the more than 100,000 troops of the Ming army in Xiangshan.

In the end, Wang Lanping realized that it seemed that the movement of military horses in his camp, which he thought he was unaware of, had been detected by Kong Youde, and it was very likely that he was doing this to meet his grain channel.

Wang Lanping gathered all the information together, he was making a decision, a difficult decision, what he took away this time was the elite of the whole army, it was the survival of the whole army, six thousand elite cavalry, all the most sophisticated equipment, if the Qing army took the opportunity to rob the camp, the camp would be lost, if he was defeated, Shi Kefa could only sit alone in the lonely city.

His brain stem began to sweat, this is a gamble, in fact, war is often a big gamble, ordering tens of thousands of lives and Yangzhou City as a bet.

There is too much difference in strength between the enemy and us, and it is difficult to turn the situation around without surprise, and this risk is worth taking.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Lanping hit the case commander with a heavy punch, with a resolute face, and said silently in his heart: I bet you Kong Youde doesn't have the guts.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and often the fighter plane is only in a thought, fleeting, and if you don't go now, you won't have a chance in the future.

Wang Lanping was dressed in light clothes, without half a piece of armor on his body, this long-distance attack, the whole army was lightly armed, except for the necessary equipment, all the heavy objects were not brought, in order to speed up the march and reduce the weight of the war horse.

The remnant sun slanted westward, reflecting the swords and guns in the hands of the six thousand elite riders, the cold light was shining, and there was a solemn and murderous color.

The people who listened to the orders outside the tent were all the commanders of the battalions, and they didn't know the plan of this operation at all, and they didn't even know where to go, they just stood quietly outside the tent, waiting for Wang Lanping to give orders.

Since Kong Youde's 20,000-strong army suddenly left the camp at this time, there is a chance that the mobilization of the champion army has leaked the news, and how to surprise the army without knowing it is the most crucial.

There is a cloud in the art of war, and those who are good at fighting will be good at hiding soldiers.

A battle-hardened general can often hide an army of tens of thousands of people invisibly, and can quietly appear in unexpected places of the enemy, so that he can be called a generation of famous generals.

"General!" Under the tent, Song Xian, Cao Dingjiao, Fang Guoan and other generals saw Wang Lanping come out and knelt down together.

Wang Lanping looked sideways at the sunset on the horizon, took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, "Get on the horse!" ”

In order to make this attack a success, Wang Lanping had already asked Song Dali to send a search team to conduct a carpet-like search within a radius of five miles around the camp, and in the course of the search, whether they encountered local people or passing merchants, they were all seized first, and they would rather be caught by mistake than leak a single piece of information, and the camp was only allowed to enter and leave the camp from the morning.

Even so, Wang Lanping led thousands of people to go east and west, north to south, and sometimes back to the camp, so tossing and turning, the time was already the second half of the night.

Under Wang Lanping's careful arrangement, Kong Youde began to receive intermittent information, and after a while, he heard that the Ming army appeared on the west side of the Qing army camp, and an hour later he came to report that he had gone around to the east side, and then returned to the camp after a while.

Even Shi Kefa in Yangzhou City received a report that there was a Ming army team outside the city, wandering around, he was also circled, and did not receive Wang Lanping's action signal, don't pretend to be the Qing army, so the defenders of Yangzhou City were also tossed overnight.

The virtual and the real have been played to the extreme, and the price is that Wang Lanping's thousands of people are personally sleepy and physically exhausted, but this is also a way to do it, the elite of the whole army is all here, and there can be no mistakes.

The people in the camp of the Qing army did not leave their armor, the horses did not get off the saddle, the swords were unsheathed and the bows were wound, and the guns were also loaded with gunpowder, and the whole army was in a state of going out at any time.

Ao Bai and Kong Youde waited anxiously in the big tent, and from time to time there were enemy situations that I didn't know whether they were true or false, the enemy situation was unknown, how did he send troops, where did this Wang Lanping go? Or slipped back to the camp to sleep.

Kong Youde knew that Wang Lanping was so cautious, he must be planning something, but what was it? It wasn't until after dawn that the Qing scouts who were ambushed on the edge of the camp of the champion army had to get out and report back to Kong Youde.

It turned out that after midnight last night, all the officers and men of the champion army who left the camp had all returned to the camp, and until the morning, not a single soldier was mobilized.

Kong Youde and Ao Bai stared at a pair of red and swollen eyes and scolded Wang Lanping for being treacherous, and they were tricked by him for a night, and tens of thousands of people in the whole army did not sleep.

On the third day of the day, Shi Kefa rushed to the camp of the champion army with a pair of panda eyes, and when he saw Wang Lanping, he asked what happened last night.

Wang Lanping lightly deduced that there was nothing to do, and he was just training soldiers and horses.

Shi Kefa secretly complained to himself, this night was in vain.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon, and Song Dali sent someone to report, saying that the Jiming Mountain wine banquet had been set up, and found that the Qing army had ambushed soldiers in the mountains, and the number was ominous.

Shi Kefa really didn't want to go, but who told this Wang Lanping to sign his name, a gentleman is difficult to chase after a horse, even if it is an enemy, he can't lose his trust in others, this is Shi Gong's demeanor, a model of a righteous man and a gentleman.

Wang Lanping kept silent about last night's events, as if it was really just a midnight drill, freshen up, it seems that he is really a guest at the banquet today, calmly, and his subordinates are inexplicable, what is this General Wang doing?

Out of the tent, Shi Kefa was already impatient, of course, he didn't want to rush to the banquet, but he wanted to find out what Wang Lanping wanted to do, when Wang Lanping came out of the tent, Shi Kefa saw that he was dressed like this, oily and powdery, light and light, and there was no piece of armor on his body, so he was immediately angry, you kid really want to go.

"Dingnanhou, what do you want to do? Are you really going to a feast? ”

Wang Lanping pretended to be surprised, and shook his robe, it was a new shirt, "Yo, Elder Ge, why are you still here?" ”

Shi Kefa was stunned, "What do you mean?" Didn't you make a post about that Kong Youde Ji Mingshan for a while? Why are you asking me about me, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Then you hurry up, don't lose your courtesy, it's not good to let the guests wait, I still have something, so I won't send you"

Wang Lanping beckoned people to take the mount and turn over on the horse.

Shi Kefa was anxious, and pulled the reins of the horse, "What? You're not going? The post is your next "

"Hey, you can go alone enough to give him Kong Youde face, I won't go, persuade King Nan a few more cups for me"

"Wang Lanping, what kind of heart do you have? On the battlefield, you are so childish, are you playing with the old man? ”

"How dare you, you can't put your eggs in one basket, you and I will go together, in case the king of Dingnan makes a mess, neither of us can come back"

"Then you still posted and let me risk myself, what do you want to do? Do you want to borrow Kong Youde's hand to get rid of me, how can you take away the military power of Yangzhou? When the national disaster is at hand, if you do this, are you not afraid of being pointed out by thousands of people? ”

Wang Lanping smiled and got off the horse.

"Ge Lao, how do you talk and talk about getting angry, come, listen to me, I don't go to have my own reason why I don't go, I am here, you must be in danger, we will go together, no one can come back, I set up this banquet, nothing more than to find out one thing, why did this Kong Youde not move, if he is willing to go, it means that he will never use troops in Yangzhou in the short term, because he also wants to touch my bottom, the champion army hastily joined the Yangzhou battlefield, he does not know the details, if he does not come, it means that he has no fear, and may go to war at any time"

Shi Kefa was stunned, and said that it was difficult to accept using this method to figure out the other party's mind, and whether he came or not could reveal the other party's military situation.

Seeing that Shi Kefa was skeptical, Wang Lanping simply said again, "Let me tell you this, as early as two months ago, I have sent someone to inquire about Kong Youde's details, and I even know which concubine he likes to sleep with at night, and I have long known this person's temperament, and I have long expected that as long as Duoduo goes south, Kong Youde will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, of course, you can also say that I am hindsight, but I can tell you for sure that Kong Youde has one of the biggest problems, hesitation, no matter how big or small, he has to be careful with his calculations, once, My spy touched Sizhou, and it happened that Kong Youde was writing a letter to Duoduo in the house urging him to ask for military rations that night, and he rubbed under the lamp for more than an hour, and finally when I folded the more than ten paper balls on the ground, he almost didn't laugh me to death, and he couldn't make a decision on a military ration urging 5,000 stones, which shows how cautious this person is."

"What's wrong with being cautious?"

"There are pros and cons, but the fighters on the battlefield can't tolerate the slightest hesitation, as long as they see it, they have to attack immediately, Kong Youde is so close to Yangzhou, the soldiers are strong, but the soldiers do not move, then it must be the same old mistake again, which step has not been done the best, so it is very important whether he goes to the appointment or not"

Shi Kefa snorted, "Then he's going, what will happen to you?" ”

"I'll pump him!"

"Then what if he doesn't want to go, what should you do?"

"I'll pump him too"

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is big, forget it, I won't be able to explain it to you for a while, you just need to remember, that person is a bastard, don't be polite when you go, and give me greetings from the eighteen generations of his ancestors"

"Can I come back, then?"

"Don't worry, I won't show up, he doesn't dare to do anything to you, you can think that I will borrow his hand to seize your power in Yangzhou, of course he Kong Youde can also think of it, rather than Yangzhou in my hands, it is better to let you and me fight for power, so, you can rest assured and scold boldly, the harder you scold, the more he dare not treat you, how to solve hatred and how to scold"

"This, like this, I, I, Shi Kefa I, clear my name......"

"Yangzhou is lost, you can't even find the cemetery, pay off the name"

"But how can I believe that you won't kill people with a knife"

Wang Lanping smiled, "Do you have a choice?" ”

Shi Kefa was stunned, "You, what do you mean?" ”

"Song Dali, send Shi Ge Lao to the banquet, by the way, choose ten entourages for him"

Song Dali forced a smile, waved his hand for the soldiers to come up, and pulled Shi Kefa into the sedan chair that had been prepared a long time ago.

Shi Kefa hurriedly grabbed the sedan car door, his face was red, "I'm going to die, what are you doing?" ”

Wang Lanping turned over on his horse again, and brushed the somewhat wrinkled placket, "I heard that there are still a few restaurants in Yangzhou City that are not closed, I will go to Xiaoxun for a few cups, Ge Lao, you have a safe journey, there is really an accident, I will definitely report to the imperial court, and strive to give you a name for the glory of the ancestors."

"You, ridiculous, ridiculous"

Wang Lanping laughed, led a few plainclothes entourage, beat horses out of the camp, and headed for Yangzhou City.
