The night is dark and the wind is high, and it is rare that a series of torches are not lit on the walls of Shaoguan City today, which also makes the night when there was no moonlight look even darker.

Shaoguan City's unusual behavior attracted Zhang Xianzhong's attention, although he has been letting people sing and dance in the barracks to have fun, but he knows that those are just for outsiders to see, the real purpose is to paralyze the attention of the Australians and the Ming army, and wait until they relax their vigilance and attack.

So at this time, Shaoguan City's unusual behavior has attracted a lot of attention to him, according to these observations, the other party should not extinguish all the torches, if this happens, then there is only one possibility that they are probably playing some tricks.

The Ming army and the Australians played tricks nothing more than to engage in a sneak attack, there is absolutely no doubt about this, Zhang Xianzhong immediately called people to strengthen patrols and closely monitor the direction of each intersection.

Although the city of Shaoguan was dark, Zhang Xianzhong's camp was brightly lit, which was in stark contrast to them.

At this time, under the city of Shaoguan, Wei Yan and the officers and soldiers of the third company were already ready to leave the city, according to their inference, even if Shaoguan City was dark, Zhang Xianzhong would not withdraw the spies to monitor, so they had to do a secret retreat to cover their ears and steal the bell.

This retreat must let Zhang Xianzhong know, and let the other party know that he is indeed gone and will not come back, so as to cause him to fight again against Shaoguan City.

Zhang Xianzhong's spies under the city have never left, although it is pitch black, but they can still hear some movement with their sense of hearing.

Squeak, this is the sound of opening the city gate, which immediately attracted the attention of the spies, and they all looked in the direction of the city gate, although they couldn't see anything clearly, but their instinctive reaction still made them stare sideways.

When the gates opened, there was a sound of neat steps. Then there was the sound of some iron objects colliding together, judging by the sound, it should be artillery.

However, the direction they walked did not seem to be north, but south, could it be that they were not going to sneak attack the men and horses of the headquarters, but to return to Guangzhou.

The spies quietly walked out of the bunker, feeling the darkness towards the place where the sound came from, until they were getting closer and closer to the sound, and they didn't dare to get closer, and finally someone noticed that these people were out of the city was wrong, it seemed that these people were wearing shoes with iron felts under them, and even if they took a gentle step, there would be a crisp sound.

These people are Australians. The spies immediately deduced the origin of these people, they are definitely Australians, only Australians will wear this kind of iron felt shoes, and the Ming army wears mille-feuille shoes, so they can't make such a sound at all.

So someone immediately rushed back to report to Zhang Xianzhong, and the Australians secretly withdrew, looking like they were going to leave Shaoguan and go south, isn't that going back to Hong Kong?

Zhang Xianzhong, who heard the news, was overjoyed, and hugged the two women from good families who were snatched by him: "Attack the city tomorrow." God help me, as soon as the Australians are gone, the defenders of this city will not have to be afraid. ”

The Australians are well-armed and well-armed, and it is understandable that they can't fight by themselves, but the Ming army in this city is different. He is still quite confident in fighting them, because he has fought with these Ming troops and basically grasps the key points of the other party.

Therefore, as long as the Australians leave, then it is not a basis, and as for the Ming army, it is a piece of cake for him Zhang Xianzhong.

Originally, Wei Yan walked like this. was also worried that Zhang Xianzhong would come over and take the opportunity to sneak attack, but he didn't expect the other party to have it, which made him have a good impression of Lao Zhang's IQ of 2. It can be seen from this that at least he doesn't think he has the strength to beat the Australians, so he still waits with peace of mind until they are far away to deal with the defenders of Shaoguan, and then the Australians know that it will be difficult to recapture the city.

Therefore, the things recorded in the history books cannot be fully believed, this Zhang Xianzhong does not understand the art of war, does not understand how to fight a war is just a butcher how to survive until now, which shows that people have a certain leadership ability and IQ.

It would be foolish to think that you are smart people and to think that the ancients are stupid.

Wei Yan's troops walked thirty miles according to the plan, and after making sure that there were no spies behind them, they immediately issued an order to stand by in place.

A cool breeze blew in the dark night, but the torches on the walls of Shaoguan City were still not lit.

Looking at the dark city wall, a personal entourage beside Jiang Zhixin asked with a little puzzlement: "Why did the adults let the Australians go like this, and what should I do if the thieves attack at this time." ”

Jiang Zhixin frowned, only a few knew what the reason for letting the Australians go, this was to prevent the news from leaking to Zhang Xianzhong, and the plan failed.

"You'll find out tomorrow, no need to ask." Seeing that the adults didn't want to say more, the entourage closed his mouth very regularly and didn't say much, as the general's entourage in addition to being strong in martial arts, he also had to learn a little bit of the skill of observing words and feelings, if he didn't have this ability, he could only be a big soldier for a lifetime.

Since the adults said that they will know tomorrow, that is, there will be a big event tomorrow, as for what the big thing is, it is very guessing, but it can definitely be related to Zhang Thief.

The next morning, before the sky was fully light, I heard shouts from under the city walls and the sounds of the enemy from the walls.

This Zhang Xianzhong really did not disappoint Jiang Zhixin, he came to attack the city early in the morning, and he chose it at this time, obviously he was prepared.

On the city wall, Jiang Zhixin didn't close his eyes all night, just to wait for Zhang Xianzhong to attack. According to the plan, they will hold on for at least three hours, although thirty miles is not much, but Wei Yan needs to plan and deploy.

Now it seems that luring the enemy into the first step has entered the first step, so the next step is to lead the bull by the nose.

This link is the most dangerous, and if one is not good, it may die at the hands of the other party, so it must be treated carefully.

In the plan, the Australian army will send a team of men to lure Zhang Xianzhong's department and let him fall into the pocket of the Australian department.

All plans must be for the Ming army to hold out for three hours, as long as a part of Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses into the ambush circle will reduce the pressure on Shaoguan City, and at the same time, Australia will send another small team of men and horses around the rear of Zhang Xianzhong in Shaoguan City to carry out a sneak attack.

The whole plan is very risky, combined with the theory of sports warfare, but it also scared Jiang Zhixin and other generals of the Ming army enough, if any link goes wrong, it will be a big problem.

That's not a trivial matter, so I can only pray that God will bless the Australians with all the best, otherwise Shaoguan City will be finished. (To be continued......)
