According to Guo Potian's original plan, he was ready to attack the city as soon as possible, but since he was attacked by Feng Zicai, he became cautious, and he didn't dare to leave his back to Feng Zicai easily, so as not to suffer the enemy on his back.

After consulting with Lu Qingtian, they decided to adopt the tactics of encircling the point to send reinforcements, using a small part of their forces to contain the defenders of Zhumadian, and concentrating their superior forces to destroy Feng Zicai first, and then turn around and break the city.

After making up his mind, Guo Potian made corresponding arrangements and waited for Feng Zicai to attack. However, for a few days after that, Feng Zicai did not move, and did not intend to attack immediately, as if the previous sneak attack was just a false shot from him, and there was no follow-up. This Feng Zicai is not in a hurry or in a hurry, but Guo Potian is in a hurry, and it will be very unfavorable to the Taiping Army to delay it for a long time and fight a protracted war, so he must take the initiative to find fighters and strive for a quick victory.

After repeated consideration, Guo Potian decided to feint to attack Zhumadian, as a lure, and transferred Feng Zicai to lead the army to help, and then he tried to find a way to set up an ambush in the middle of the way, so as to annihilate the Qing army led by Feng Zicai.

So, Guo Potian ordered Lu Qingtian to lead the small group of men and horses besieging the city to attack Zhumadian, and he personally led the main army to ambush Feng Zicai on the way to rescue Zhumadian. He believed that as long as the defenders of Zhumadian asked Feng Zicai for help, Feng Zicai would definitely lead the army to rescue Zhumadian, and at that time, it would be difficult for Feng Zicai not to fall into his trap.

Sure enough, not long after Lu Qingtian launched an attack, someone in Zhumadian tried to break out of the city, and Lu Qingtian knew that he was the one who asked Feng Zicai for help, so he ordered someone to deliberately let go of a road and let the messenger leave safely, and he sent someone Pegasus to tell Guo Potian and let him open his net and wait for Feng Zicai to take the bait.

Guo Potian was overjoyed after receiving the letter, and he sent an order to Lu Qingtian. On the other hand, he ordered the main force of the Taiping army to prepare to meet the enemy, and must fight here to completely annihilate the Qing army led by Feng Zicai.

However, Guo Potian led the army to wait for a long time, but he did not see Feng Zicai leading the army to pass by, and according to Lu Qingtian's report, the Qing army in Zhumadian City seemed to be crazy, desperately counterattacking the siege troops led by Lu Qingtian.

Lu Qingtian's attack was originally just a gesture, and he didn't want to really take Zhumadian, but the Qing army was not, in order to survive, they had to do their best. So. In terms of momentum, the Taiping army has already lost, and often a counterattack by the Qing army can force the Taiping army back far away.

Lu Qingtian sent someone to report the siege to Guo Potian, and asked him if it was still necessary to continue the siege, because the purpose of luring the enemy had been achieved, and continuing to attack the city would have lost its meaning, and the consequences of continuing to do so would only be a sharp increase in casualties, so he meant to suspend the attack first. Just keep the siege alive.

After Guo Potian received the report, he did not agree with Lu Qingtian's opinion. He was still ordered to continue the siege. His opinion was that as long as Feng Zicai had not fallen into the trap he had set, then the attack could not be stopped. He wanted to let the defenders of Zhumadian and Feng Zicai understand that Zhumadian had to be saved this time.

After Lu Qingtian received the order, although he was a little helpless, he had to obey the order, and maintained the intensity of the attack as always, and the consequence of this was exactly what he said, and more and more people died in the Taiping army.

And Guo Potian was at the ambush site, waiting left and right, but he didn't see Feng Zicai leading the army to pass by, he didn't know how many trips he sent to explore the horses, but the reply he got was that there was no movement in Feng Zicai's camp, and it seemed that he didn't plan to rescue Zhumadian at all.

Guo Potian couldn't guess what Feng Zicai was thinking at all, but it was impossible to say that Feng Zicai would not save him when he saw death, unless Feng Zicai had already seen through his strategy of besieging the city and sending reinforcements. Anyway, Guo Potian plans to wait a little longer to give it a try.

However, Zuihou's result still disappointed him, and Feng Zicai did not come. Guo Potian understood that his trip was in vain, he could only withdraw the ambush, prepare to gather the army, and then find another way after returning to the camp.

Who knows, he had just issued an order, and before the troops had yet to retract, he suddenly heard the sound of trumpets and cannons, only to see flags waving all around, and the sound of shouting and killing rose to the sky, Guo Potian was shocked.

He took a closer look and found that it was the Qing army, and on the handsome flag fluttering in the wind, there was a big word "Feng" written on it, needless to say, it must be Feng Zicai. It turned out that the praying mantis was catching cicadas, and the yellow finch was behind, Guo Potian thought that he had set up an ambush to wait for Feng Zicai to be fooled, but he didn't expect that Feng Zicai had already set up an ambush here and waited for him to take the bait.

The Taiping army was concentrating, so to speak, defenseless, while the Qing army was suddenly attacking, and the Taiping army was taken by surprise at once, and the formation was all out of order.

Guo Potian shouted loudly, wanting the army to keep in formation and let everyone not mess up, but his words were covered by the sound of rushing and killing on the battlefield, and it had no effect, the Taiping army was already in chaos under the attack of the Qing army, except for a few Taiping troops who were still resisting, everyone else was already running for their lives, a large army, seeing that it was about to be scattered, Guo Potian wanted to cry without tears.

"General, the army is in chaos, you better withdraw first." Seeing that the situation was extremely difficult for the Taiping Army, the general of the guards beside Guo Potian could only persuade Guo Potian to leave first.

"Presumptuous, you dare to disturb the morale of the army, what do you want to do?" Guo Potian scolded loudly.

He is not willing to accept the fact that the army has been defeated, even if he fights to Zuihou alone, he must also persevere to the end and let him go first, what is that, he will not be a deserter even if he dies.

"The general forgives the sin, and the last general is for the good of the general." The Guards General still does not want to give up .

"Alas, the situation is already like this, even if General Ben escapes by chance, what face will there be to see the Heavenly King Bixia, even if General Ben dies in the future, what face will there be to see those dead soldiers." Guo Potian sighed and said.

It seems that he intended to kill himself.

"Stay in Qingshan, don't be afraid of no firewood, if you don't leave at this time, you really can't leave." The general of the guard said anxiously.

"You lead the people to withdraw first, this general will fight to the end." Guo Potian has made up his mind.

"General, the general begs you, let's go." The Guards General knelt on the ground and pleaded.

Guo Potian shook his head.

When the general of the guards saw that he couldn't persuade Guo Potian, he was anxious, but he couldn't watch his general die here, it seemed that he could only forcibly take Guo Potian away.

Just as the general of the guards was about to order someone to forcibly take Guo Potian away, suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and just as he was about to turn around to see who it was. The sound of the horse's hooves stopped abruptly in the place where he was not finished, and only someone was heard: "General Guo, hello."

When the general heard this, he turned back suddenly, he grabbed the horse's head, first blocked in front of Guo Potian, and then shouted: "Who are you?"

"My name is Feng Zicai, and I want to have a meeting with General Guo, can I be accommodating." The person who came was very modest and authentic.

It turned out that the person who came was Feng Zicai.

"You, you, you are Feng Zicai?" When the general heard that the person who came was Feng Zicai, he was taken aback, and couldn't help clenching the weapon in his hand, and stammered a little.

"Yes, it's someone Feng." Feng Zicai smiled slightly.

"What do you want to do?" The general did not relax his vigilance against Feng Zicai because of his attitude, he knew that the person in front of him was a dangerous person.

"I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to meet your general." Feng Zicai seemed to be gossiping, and he couldn't hear the battlefield atmosphere from his words at all.

"No, I will never allow you to come near our general unless I die." The pro-guard general intends to defend his general with his death.

"I deeply admire the general's loyalty, but I don't plan to tell you what your generals will do, I just want to help your generals point out a clear way." Feng Zicai still looked indifferent.

"Are you lying to a three-year-old? I don't believe it." General Qinwei didn't want to believe Feng Zicai's nonsense.

"Your general will believe it, can you please get out of the way?" Feng Zicai's words were still very gentle, but the general did not feel relaxed.

"Xiao Deng, since General Feng wants to see me, then you should get out of the way first." A hand suddenly stretched out behind the general and patted him on the shoulder, and it was Guo Potian's voice that could be heard.

It turned out that his personal guard would be surnamed Deng.

"General......" The guard general turned around and shouted at Guo Potian.

"It's okay, General Ben just said a few words to General Feng, and it won't get in the way." Guo Potian smiled at his personal guard general and said kindly.

"But, General, your safety—" The guards don't think so.

"It's okay, it's okay." Guo Potian patted the guard a few more times, and rode out from behind him.

"General Guo, Feng has admired the name of General for a long time, but he hates that he has never had the opportunity to visit, and seeing him today is enough to comfort his life." Feng Zicai bowed on horseback and said very politely.

"General Feng is really polite, I don't know what the general wants?" Guo Potian didn't think that Feng Zicai was full of food and was looking for himself to be happy.

"There's something I want to negotiate with the general." Feng Zicai is still good-natured and authentic.

"The general is now in the ascendancy, I'm afraid he just wants to take the head of the general, and it will be a matter of time, so if there is anything to say, even if it is straightforward, I like to go straight." GUO Potiandao.

"It's refreshing enough, it's a pleasure to talk to General Guo, since that's the case, then Feng won't beat around the bush anymore." Feng Zicai's face was right.

Guo Potian stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, signaling Feng Zicai to say directly.

"General Guo, today Feng was lucky to win, so he besieged you here, I feel that you are not convinced, I am afraid that you are also dissatisfied, and I often hear people say that General Guo is a refreshing person, so I want to make a bet with General Guo." Feng Zicai said slowly.

"Please." Guo Potian nodded and said.

Feng has always wanted to compete with the general alone, but he didn't have a chance, and now the opportunity has come, so Feng wants to take advantage of this opportunity, but he has a long-cherished wish in his heart. Fight the generals alone. Of course, the contest is also colorful, if I finally win against General Guo, then I will be embarrassed, I will wipe you and your brothers away, not a single one, but if General Guo accidentally wins, then I will let half of you go, as for which people to go. General Guo can decide for himself. I wonder if General Guo dares to bet?" Feng Zicai's tone was as if he was saying something that didn't matter to him.

"Ha, ha... Listen to you, you're pretty sure you'll be able to beat the general." Guo Potian shouted daxiao, as if he had heard a daxiao word.

"I don't know, let's do your best." Feng Zicai spread his hands and was noncommittal.

"Okay, since General Feng is interested, how can Ben General not cooperate, Ben General agreed." Guo Potian didn't care about his own life, but about the lives of the half of the soldiers Feng Zicai said.

"Okay, it's refreshing." Feng Zicai stretched out his thumb and said. (To be continued.) If you like this work. You are welcome to come to the starting point (biquge.info) to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation ......)
