What he said really worked. All the Ming soldiers who heard it immediately turned their heads to look at him, and their faces no longer had the envy they had just hung.

Zhang Dafu was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately stepped up his efforts and continued to shout loudly: "As far as the general knows, the general soldier Sun personally led an army of 5,000 to pursue this thief. You must know that the elite family of the general soldier has a full 2,000 people, and that is the elite who have fought at the border for many years. As long as we can hold out for two days, we will wipe out all the thieves outside. ”

"Nearly 10,000 thieves have been exterminated by us, and the materials in the city can still be kept, this is a great merit, Lord Zhongcheng will definitely repay the merit to the imperial court! Soldiers, the opportunity to glorify the ancestors is in front of you, everyone must hold on! ”

His voice was about to burst, and the leaders of his family also walked to both ends of the city wall, shouting loudly to pass on the master's meaning.

However, his team stayed in Fugu County after chasing and suppressing the Heavenly Army last winter, and every Ming soldier here was a little disdainful of his words.

What happened to the five thousand centaurs? In the past, when there were only about 2,000 people in total, even the old, weak, women and children were called the Heavenly Army, and the 5,000-strong army was defeated.

Sun Xianzu, the chief soldier, is also very famous for eating empty salaries, can he raise 2,000 families? I don't believe it if I kill you!

But no matter what, after Zhang Dafu roared like this, the Ming soldiers somewhat boosted their morale. As for how much effect, it's hard to say.

After about an hour, the heavenly army outside the city finally dismissed all the captives who were leaving. The remaining nearly 6,000 men were stationed in the north, far from the city. Between them and the city, there was a field regiment of Liu Daneng.

And Hu Hansan's regiment sent almost all the people to temporarily organize those prisoners to facilitate management.

Of course. Naturally, the preparations for the siege of the city were not pulled down, and some people were busy.

After noon, after eating and drinking, Hu Guang ordered the artillery company to assemble. Hu Hansan's cavalry army also began to assemble. Anyone who saw it knew that the Heavenly Army was about to start the siege.

When Zhang Dafu at the head of the city saw it, the sleepy insects that couldn't get rid of him just now were gone. The spirit was tense. Immediately shouted loudly, trying his best to boost the morale of his soldiers. His cronies also spared no effort to help, controlling all the Ming soldiers in the city.

They are all veterans, and they all understand one thing. The first wave of attacks is the most violent, as long as the first wave is withheld, the defenders will have more confidence, and the besiegers will have less morale.

Seeing that a siege battle was about to begin, but at this moment, two flying horses came in the distance. The rapid sound of horses' hooves was particularly loud on the quiet battlefield before the battle, attracting the attention of everyone inside and outside the city.

I saw the two knights galloping to the fluttering "Heavenly Army" flag, turned over and dismounted neatly, and saluted Hu Guang upright: "Report to the chief, I found a Ming army, about 4,000 infantry troops, and more than 600 horse troops. On the banner, it is judged to be Sun Xianzu, the chief soldier of Yulin, and there are still fifteen miles away from here. ”

Hu Guang knew these two people. It was a soldier under the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon, Kang Quanan. The two of them came together to ensure that the military information could be delivered in time and expressed accurately. This method is generally used for the most advanced intelligence, such as the battlefield situation at hand.

When several leaders on Hu Guang's side heard this, they all gathered around him and looked at him. I didn't expect a Ming army to appear behind it, or led by the Yulin General Army, so what should I do next?

I saw Hu Guang groaning slightly. He immediately asked, "How many families are there in that infantry army?" ”

"Report to the chief, according to the platoon commander's estimate, there are about nine hundred." The scout replied immediately.

Hu Guang knew what he knew when he heard this, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay." Tell you platoon commander Kang, don't let the Ming army find you at night, and the Ming army will report back every five miles. ”

"Yes!" The two scouts agreed, turned on their horses, and galloped away.

Seeing that Hu Guang didn't speak immediately, Hu Hansan was a little anxious, and immediately asked, "Chief, then do we still want to pretend to attack the city?" ”

It turned out that the siege posture just now was actually just to scare the Ming army at the head of Fugu City and prevent them from resting. If you really want to attack, you naturally choose it at night or in the early hours of the morning.

Before Hu Guang could answer, Liu Daneng on the side immediately suggested: "Chief, the place five miles away from here is relatively narrow, we can ambush there and destroy this Ming army." ”

At that time, there were only about 300 cavalry on his side, but now, there were two regiments of more than 2,000 cavalry. Not to mention that there are only 600 cavalry troops and 900 infantry troops, that is, the 4,500 people are all family soldiers, and in his heart, he didn't take these Ming troops in his eyes at all.

Hearing his suggestion, Li Dingguo also nodded, but did not speak. He remembered that the place that Commander Liu said was indeed suitable for the cavalry to ambush and suddenly kill, and he couldn't help but agree with this idea in his heart.

Hu Guang didn't speak immediately, obviously still thinking about it. He turned his head to look around at the surrounding terrain, looked at his own men and horses, and then looked at the Ming army at the head of the city, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Chief, you have to worry about these prisoners, it's better for the three regiments to stay here, just one regiment of mine is enough to ambush the Ming army." Liu Daneng thought that Hu Guang was worried about capturing the Ming army at the head of Fugu City, so he immediately added a suggestion.

Hu Hansan heard this, and did not go to compete with Liu Daneng. In an ambush mission like this, where the cavalry suddenly kills, it is more suitable for a field regiment. He just looked at Hu Guang and waited for the chief's order.

Hu Guang shook his head, turned to face Hu Hansan, and ordered him: "Withdraw the troops and assemble, no need to feint." ”

Is this going to be all sorted? But what about the captives? What about the Ming army in the city? Hu Hansan couldn't figure it out, but Hu Guang's order was unmistakable, and he didn't hesitate and immediately executed it.

Liu Daneng thought that Hu Guang had agreed, so he immediately turned around and excitedly ordered his subordinates: "Assemble your horse and prepare to go!" ”

When Hu Guang heard this, he was a little speechless and hurriedly stopped. This Liu Da Neng, he is really anxious.

At the head of the city, the guerrilla Zhang Dafu was relieved to see that the Heavenly Army, which was preparing to attack the city, had stopped fighting and stopped fighting.

Suddenly, he thought of the cavalry who had come and gone in a hurry just now, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he was overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "Our reinforcements have arrived, it must be General Sun who has arrived, haha, General Sun has arrived!" ”

Whether it's or not, shout it first.

When the Ming army at the head of the city heard this, they saw that the heavenly army that was preparing to attack the city was called to withdraw, and their morale was significantly improved. (To be continued......)
