He Ren Long Tie blushed and looked at the scout kneeling in front of him.

Liukou passed through the county seat of Weishi and rushed towards Zhuxian Town, and the scouts only found out the news that the county seat of Weishi was only a hundred miles away from Zhuxian Town, and it was a flat river, which indicated that Liukou would arrive in Zhuxian Town in half a day at most.

He Renlong regretted a little, two days ago, the sergeants under his command helped the people of Zhuxian Town to relocate, and almost everyone thought of looting money, including the scouts, which may cause the scouts to investigate not very carefully, and all they thought about in their minds was how to get more money.

At this time, it is useless to complain, counting the time for the scouts to come back to report the report, the Liukou will have an hour at most, and they can reach Zhuxian Town, and a big war will break out in an hour.

He Renlong didn't even have time to punish the scouts.

All the officers above the rank of guerrilla general were concentrated in the Chinese military tents.

He Renlong's face didn't have much expression.

"The Liukou has rushed in the direction of Zhuxian Town, according to the scout's reconnaissance, their number is close to 100,000, we only have 20,000 people, how to resist the attack of the Liukou, some people may say that we have no way to resist, maybe what you said is good, 20,000 against 100,000, the odds of winning are too small, but unfortunately we have no way out, once we evacuate from Zhuxian Town, even if we evacuate in the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng, it will be too late, if the Liukou follow behind us to chase and kill, we only have the fate of being annihilated, We don't have the slightest chance to enter Kaifeng City. ”

"You are all officers who have followed me for many years, almost all of them are from Nanjing Jingying, if you continue to be in Nanjing Jingying, you will not encounter such a life-and-death battle, in the face of such an uncertain battle of life and death, those who are timid will stand up now. I allowed him to flee to Kaifeng Fucheng, but as soon as he stepped out of this Chinese military tent, we would never see each other again for the rest of our lives. ”

After He Renlong said these words, the inside of the Chinese military tent was very quiet, and no one took a step.

He Renlong nodded vigorously.

"Okay, since you have all decided to fight with me in Zhuxian Town. Then with the momentum of seeing death as home, and the rogues fight with all their might, there is nothing terrible about the rogues, we have fought with the rogues before, they are indeed a lot of people, but the combat effectiveness is not strong, they used to be an ordinary rabble, nothing remarkable, not to mention 100,000 people. Even if all 200,000 people pounced, we would be able to resist. ”

"We are not alone, the governor of the five provinces, Lord Sun, has led an army of 120,000 and is coming in the direction of Zhuxian Town, as long as we insist to the death and do not let the Liukou cross Zhuxian Town, once the army led by Lord Sun arrives, it will be time for the Liukou to be defeated. So have the courage to stay the course. ”

"The combat deployment is clear to all of you. I won't say more, I just want to emphasize that military law on the battlefield is ruthless, whether you are an ordinary sergeant or an officer, once you escape. Don't ask the reason, don't ask the reason, there is no forgiveness. ”

Many guerrilla generals left the Chinese military tent one after another, and all of them went to prepare, and the last ones left were four generals.

These four ginseng generals are He Renlong's henchmen. He also fought with He Renlong all year round.

"You all listen, this is a vicious battle, Li Zicheng has also experienced many years of fighting, he put on a posture, just to defeat and annihilate us, we can't have the slightest negligence, Zhuxian Town is flat, there is no danger to defend, our fight with the rogues is hard-hitting, the fortifications we built may have a certain effect, but the battle is at a critical time, relying on desperate fighting."

"I believe that we can repel the attack of the Liukou, but we must also be prepared in case, if we are scattered by the Liukou, then you will lead your respective subordinates to evacuate in the direction of Chenliu County, you remember, you must not evacuate in the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng, then it is very likely to be chased and killed by the Liukou, the purpose of the Liukou is Kaifeng Fucheng, and will not pursue in the direction of Chenliu County."

"But you also have to remember that what I'm talking about is just in case, until the last step, we will never evacuate Zhuxian Town."

"Okay, you all go and prepare, the fight is about to begin, you are all my most trusted brothers, 20,000 soldiers are watching you, cheer up, and kill the rogue fiercely."

Zhu Xianzhen has become depressed.

The sergeants stationed behind the fortifications look calm on the surface, but if you look closely, you will find that some people are pale, probably knowing that there are a lot of rogues, but the expressions of officers at all levels are a little calm, at this time, the emotions of the officers are extremely important, which will directly affect the sergeants.

Soon, there was some commotion in the team, and many people turned their heads to look behind.

Many sergeants saw the chief soldier on horseback, He Renlong.

He Renlong, under the protection of his own soldiers, actually came to the forefront of the position, which was the greatest encouragement for many sergeants, and he was followed by He Renlong, who was the general who commanded the most advanced sergeants to fight.

When the general was about to speak, He Renlong waved his hand to stop him.

"Brothers, the Liukou is about to start attacking, and I will join you to kill the Liukou."

In just a few dozen words, it is like a heavy hammer, knocking on the heart of the sergeant, the chief soldier fights with them, what else is there to be afraid of, just do your best to kill the rogue, horizontal and vertical is a life, and God has no way to take it back.

He Renlong slowly patrolled the forefront position, and where he walked, the sergeant's expression became resolute.

The 20,000 sergeants led by Sun Chuanting traveled day and night, and had very little time to rest.

When they arrived in Ye County, it was already April 18, and Ye County was still nearly 500 miles away from Zhuxian Town. Sun Chuanting knew very well that they had already delayed too much time, and if they wanted to reinforce Zhuxian Town in time, they had to march at a faster pace, and strive to reach Zhuxian Town within two to three days.

Of course, there is one of the biggest problems here, that is, how to avoid the large-scale rogues and arrive directly in Zhuxian Town, in the process of the sergeant's short rest, Sun Chuanting has been looking at the map, and Zuo Liangyu and others have discussed, Li Zicheng is not stupid, while attacking Zhuxian Town, he will definitely send the Liukou to block the reinforcements.

There are only two ways in front of Sun Chuanting, either find a guide under his subordinates, avoid Li Zicheng's army, and go straight to Zhuxian Town, or he will fight face-to-face with the Liukou, open a bloody road, and reinforce Zhuxian Town.

The first method is of course the best, but in a hurry, it is impossible to find a guide who is familiar with the path, and the path is by no means easy to walk, almost all around Kaifeng Mansion are plains, and there are not many paths, even if there is a shortcut, the 20,000 army wants to pass smoothly, I am afraid it is not a simple matter, and after getting lost, it will delay more time.

The second way is to face the rogues, through the fight to break out of a bloody road, to reach Zhuxian Town, this action is full of danger, after all, Sun Chuanting led only 20,000 people, facing more than 100,000 rogues.

Sun Chuanting is ready to open a bloody road, the 20,000 soldiers under his command are not familiar with the terrain around Zhuxian Town, not to mention that the liukou under Li Zicheng has passed through Xiangcheng and Xuzhou and other places, who knows whether Li Zicheng has planted spies in the local area, this is completely possible.

After a long period of thinking and deliberation, Sun Chuanting made up his mind.

Looking at Zuo Liangyu and several other officers, Sun Chuanting spoke undoubtedly.

"We have no other choice, only to fight face-to-face with the Liukou, kill a bloody road, and arrive at Zhuxian Town, which does take a huge risk, after all, there are many Liukou, we are likely to be surrounded by it, but I have thought about it, the general army of He Renlong stationed in Zhuxian Town, there are 20,000 soldiers under his command, since Liukou wants to attack Kaifeng Fucheng, it is necessary to open the passage of Zhuxian Town, if Liukou arrives in Zhuxian Town, he will send heavy troops to attack, which leaves us with a chance, We can launch an attack by surprise, and as long as the main attention of the rogues is focused on Zhuxian Town, they will not be able to stop our progress. ”

"From now on, we rest for two hours every day, the rest of the time is all in a hurry, and the food is solved on horseback, we must arrive at Zhuxian Town within three days, time is very precious to us, if we delay too much time, so that the Liukou can calmly attack Zhuxian Town, then our reinforcements will be meaningless."

After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, he looked at Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

"The subordinates obey the orders of the commander."

The rest of the officers also clasped their fists and said that they obeyed the order.

Many officers left, and only Zuo Liangyu remained.

Sun Chuanting, who looked a little worried, spoke to Zuo Liangyu.

"General Soldier Zuo, the difficulties we are facing are huge, and unexpected situations may occur at any time, the army led by General Soldier Wang will take at least seven to eight days before it can reach Zhuxian Town, the 20,000 soldiers we lead, including the 20,000 soldiers under He Renlong, a total of 40,000 people, must stop the pace of nearly 200,000 Liukou under Li Zicheng, this battle with a huge disparity in strength, no one can predict the outcome, you remember, if we arrive in Zhuxian Town, He Renlong and his sergeants have been dispersed, We don't want to stay in Zhuxian Town, go straight to Kaifeng Fucheng, we can enter Kaifeng Fucheng, we can help defend, as long as the army led by Wang Zongbing arrives in Kaifeng Fucheng, we will have the confidence to start a decisive battle with Liukou. ”

Zuo Liangyu looked at Sun Chuanting and quickly spoke.

"Marshal, if General He's soldiers are scattered, his subordinates are willing to lead the sergeants to break off and escort the marshal to Kaifeng Fucheng."

Sun Chuanting shook his head.

"I am the marshal, it is impossible to escape from the battle, if you want to go, you will also go at the end, this matter is decided, once the army of He Renlong is scattered, you immediately lead the army, get rid of the entanglement of the rogue, and rush to Kaifeng Fucheng for reinforcements."
