Although he made the decision to rush to the aid of Kaifeng Fucheng, Sun Chuanting was still very cautious, he did not act immediately, but continued to send scouts to investigate the situation in the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng, according to the situation reported by the scouts, the Liukou was still attacking Kaifeng Fucheng with all his might, although the losses of the Liukou were somewhat large, but the offensive momentum was not reduced.

This information finally made Sun Chuanting firmly understand that Li Zicheng was determined to capture Kaifeng Fucheng.

On the question of how to rush to the aid of Kaifeng Fucheng, Sun Chuanting, He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu's opinions are relatively consistent, they all believe that the army of nearly 40,000 must act together, can not be separated, the number of rogue is already large, if the army of nearly 40,000 is divided into the front army and the middle army, the combat effectiveness is probably weaker, once they are surrounded by the rogues, it is difficult to echo each other, and it is very likely to face the fate of annihilation.

Fighting on the plains, there are not too many tactics at all, it is a face-to-face fight, hard to fight, to see whose combat effectiveness is stronger, to see who can hold on longer, Sun Chuanting still has a certain confidence in this regard, the 20,000 sergeants under his command, mainly the sergeants of the Shaanxi Guard's army, these sergeants have strong combat effectiveness, and their combat quality is even better, in comparison, Liukou is much worse in this regard.

It has been three days since the scouts who came to report the news from Kaifeng Mansion have left, and it has been seven days since the Liukou attacked Kaifeng Mansion City, and the army has made all preparations and set off from Zhuxian Town.

The leader was He Renlong, the one who was behind was Zuo Liangyu, and Sun Chuanting was in the middle of the army.

Judging from the situation of the two battles reported by Liu Zongmin, the officers and soldiers were very brave along the way, and the slightest negligence of the rebels could lead to disastrous consequences. A lot of energy and morale have been consumed.

Li Zicheng's main attention was also focused on the side of the officers and soldiers who rushed to help, and after a few days of thinking, he thought that Gu Junen's suggestion was very good, and the scouts had already been sent out to contact Zhang Xianzhong. In other words, the rebels have spread a big net, and the next thing is to see if this net is firm and whether it can have a huge harvest.

The 100,000 rebel army led by Liu Zongmin withdrew to the two wings of the official road, and the remaining rebel army, some of which were attacking Kaifeng Fucheng, and the rest were stationed in the camp, shuttling back and forth, creating an atmosphere that all the rebels were in the camp.

Li Zicheng, Gu Junen and Liu Zongmin are all very clear. Sun Chuanting will definitely send scouts to investigate, and the situation in the camp cannot be completely concealed from the scouts of the officers and soldiers, so many things must be prepared accordingly, and only when the officers and soldiers are truly confused, can all the combat arrangements be implemented.

In the evening, the scouts came to report it. The officers and soldiers set up camp ten miles from the camp.

In the military tent, Li Zicheng's face was a little nervous. This is a rare situation, since the start of the army, Li Zicheng does not know how many battles he has experienced, during the battle of Chezhou Gorge, the righteous army is in a dangerous situation that may be completely annihilated, Li Zicheng did not show a nervous look. Gu Junen on the side understood that this was because Li Zicheng's inner thoughts had changed dramatically, and his vision of fighting was different, so there would be a nervous look.

The blue flag on the sand table indicates the location of the officers and soldiers.

Li Zicheng looked at Gu Junen and Liu Zongmin and spoke.

"Mr. Gu. Zong Min, this battle is very important, as long as we can completely annihilate the officers and troops who rushed to help, we will be able to realize all the plans, when the time comes, we will capture Kaifeng Fucheng, and after getting supplies, we will evacuate to the south, as for the officers and troops who came to help, let Zhang Xianzhong face it, but you also know that once we can't completely defeat the officers and troops, then our situation will become very dangerous, we don't have much food and grass, and we can last about a month at most, This food does not guarantee a safe evacuation to the south. ”

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, Gu Junen immediately spoke.

"What King Chuang said is that this is a battle that you can't afford to lose, General Liu, the officers and soldiers you are facing are brave, the battle of Zhuxian Town has been shown, so this battle is by no means easy, maybe the losses of our righteous army will be very large, but no matter how big the loss, we must hold on, the number of officers and soldiers is not large, if necessary, we will send the righteous soldiers who attack and open the Fengfu City to support."

Liu Zongmin's face was a little calm, and after Li Zicheng and Gu Junen finished speaking, his face turned slightly red, and it seemed that he was trying to suppress his emotions.

"King Chuang, Mr. Gu, in this battle, the last general will definitely do his best to not defeat the official army and vow not to give up."

After the simple discussion, Liu Zongmin left the Chinese military tent and went to prepare.

Li Zicheng watched Liu Zongmin leave the Chinese military tent, turned to Gu Junen and spoke.

"Mr. Gu, see if Zong Min can ...... this time"

"King Chuang rest assured, the two battles in Zhuxian Town, General Liu was holding his stomach, especially in the second battle, General Liu's judgment was wrong, resulting in heavy losses in the righteous army, after coming back, King Chuang did not blame and punish, which has made General Liu depressed, this time I finally have a chance, General Liu will never let go."

Li Zicheng nodded.

"Zong Min's battle is very good, but unfortunately the strategy is still poor, this time we have all planned, as long as Zong Min executes it according to the plan, he must be able to win."

"King Chuang still has to pay attention to his own safety, when the battle begins, the official army will definitely attack frantically when they see King Chuang."

"Mr. Gu still pays attention to his own safety, I have no problem, the officers and soldiers want to kill me, they don't have such high skills, even if they are brave, they can't compete with the soldiers around me."

It was completely dark.

Sun Chuanting didn't feel a trace of sleep, and was alone in the Zhongjun tent, looking at the sand table and map in front of him.

This time the army galloped to the aid of Kaifeng Fucheng, it is completely open, it is impossible to keep it secret, tomorrow will start a large-scale fight, presumably the Liukou will temporarily stop attacking Kaifeng Fucheng, the pressure on the army is huge, but in this regard, Sun Chuanting is also fully prepared, he led the army to camp in about ten miles away from Kaifeng Fucheng, on the one hand, it is to start a face-to-face fight with the Liukou, on the other hand, it is also to delay the pace of the Liukou attack Kaifeng Fucheng, waiting for the arrival of the army led by Wang Yongji.

The biggest advantage of such two-handed preparation is that if the army encounters danger, it can also evacuate in time and not be surrounded by rogues.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, no one can take into account the special thoroughness, since it is a face-to-face fight with the rogue, then there may be unexpected situations, so after Sun Chuanting arranged for Zuo Liangyu to break off, it is to prepare for a special situation, according to Zuo Liangyu's ability, it is completely able to deal with the special situation that arises, or to lead the army to withdraw in time.

As for his own safety, Sun Chuanting really didn't think about it so much, it is said that he, as the commander of the palace, decisively evacuated when the army was in danger, which was the best arrangement, but Sun Chuanting was unwilling to do that.

When He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu entered the Zhongjun tent, Sun Chuanting was a little surprised.

"General He, General Zuo, it's already very late at night, you have to rest early, you have to fight tomorrow, you have to lead the army to fight, you can't do it without sufficient physical strength."

He Renlong looked at Zuo Liangyu and spoke.

"My lord, the last general has discussed with the general left, or ask the lord to break the back, the last general will lead the troops to charge at the front, the left general will lead the troops to respond, and the lord will supervise the formation."

When he said this, He Renlong showed a look of shame on his face.

"The last general has been suspicious and contradicted the adults before, and please don't be angry, the last general is also to be able to rescue Kaifeng Fucheng."

The straightforwardness of the generals is manifested in these places, and Sun Chuanting certainly knows it.

"He Zongbing, Zuo Zongbing, the big war is imminent, don't think about the previous things, as for the arrangement of the battle, it has long been determined, and it can't be changed, He Zongbing led the sergeants to fight in front, and the officer coordinated and commanded in the center, after the Zuo Zongbing was broken, tomorrow's battle is very critical, the officer did not expect to be able to completely defeat the Liukou, but we must make it impossible for the Liukou to attack Kaifeng Mansion with all our might, as long as we can stalemate with the Liukou outside the Kaifeng Mansion City, and when the army comes, it is the best time for us to exterminate the Liukou."

Sun Chuanting's arrangement is also reasonable, after all, relying on less than 40,000 people, thinking that it is impossible to defeat the Liukou, then it is still possible to rely on these nearly 40,000 people to drag the Liukou and wait for the arrival of the army for a decisive battle.

The battle of Zhuxian Town made Sun Chuanting judge the combat effectiveness of the Liukou, he thought that the combat effectiveness of the Liukou was not strong, and he could hold the Liukou back by relying on the desperate struggle of nearly 40,000 troops.

Commanding such a battle is not simple, it requires accurate judgment, not only to preserve its own strength, but also to deal a heavy blow to the rogue, such a task can only be completed by him, Sun Chuanting, so he must coordinate and command in the center.

In fact, once the war starts, it doesn't matter whether the front or the rear is left, nearly 200,000 people are fighting together, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed no matter where they are.

After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, He Renlong looked at Zuo Liangyu and stopped talking.

Seeing that He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu didn't mean to speak, Sun Chuanting spoke again.

"The two of you should hurry up and rest, we will start a fight tomorrow, and this official still has some things to think about."

Watching He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu leave, Sun Chuanting shook his head slightly, if it weren't for the imminent war, he wouldn't easily forgive He Renlong, no matter what the situation of this battle was, when reporting the battle situation to the imperial court, he wouldn't say good things for He Renlong, as for Zuo Liangyu, he was much smarter, regardless of whether he agreed with Sun Chuanting's arrangement and deployment in his heart, at least on the surface, it was resolutely maintained.
