When he traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty and knew that he had reached the Chongzhen period, Wu Shigong was most worried about Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

According to Wu Shigong's pitiful and erroneous historical knowledge, we know that the Zuihou history of the Ming Dynasty is: first, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing to overthrow the Ming Dynasty; and then Li Zicheng robbed Wu Sangui's wife Chen Yuanyuan; Then Wu Sangui was angry and red-faced, and let the Manchu Qing enter Shanhaiguan; zuihou is the Manchu Qing dynasty that established the Qing Dynasty.

But Wu Shigong is also very sure: the history of the Ming Dynasty in which he lived is definitely different from the history of the original Ming Dynasty. Because Wu Shigong is very narcissistic in his judgment, his Runing Army already has such great strength, so if history has not changed, then he will not omit his name - Wu Shigong in the history books.

Therefore, in order to save your family and shili, the easiest way is to cut off the above historical chain. And to solve the problem at the root, that is, to completely eliminate the two great shili of Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing.

Therefore, killing Li Zicheng has always been very tempting for Wu Shigong. It's just that Li Zicheng has been active in Shaanxi before, and he didn't come to Henan, so Wu Shigong didn't have the opportunity to touch this big enemy.

And now, Li Zicheng appeared in front of him. Wu Shigong couldn't resist the urge to dispatch the main force no matter what. But in this way, it will also completely change the general strategy formulated by the Runing Army to exterminate the peasant army.

Originally, the Runing Army was prepared to use the strategy of constantly encroaching until an absolute superiority was established, and Zuihou wiped out the peasant army in one go, but if Wu Shigong changed like this, it was likely to become a chicken stealer and not a handful of rice.

You must know that the current Li Zicheng is surrounded by the peasant army. And with the current strength of the Runing Army, it is definitely impossible to swallow all the peasant army, so the best result after dispatching the main force is to eat away a little more peasant army.

But Wu Shigong really has such good luck. Is there Li Zicheng in the cannibalized peasant army? In addition, after Wu Shigong finished mobilizing the main force, could he still catch the wandering peasant army? Also, when the main force is dispatched, can it really ensure that the area under its control will not be invaded by the peasant armies of other battalions? So how you look at it, it seems like an adventure.

But when it comes to Zuihou, Wu Shigong feels that this risk is still worth taking. Although the chance of killing Li Zicheng this time is very slim, he has to try it anyway. It was just to test the strength of Li Zicheng's peasant army, and it was worth doing so.

For this reason, Wu Shigong will not use the Runing Army and the Guide Army this time. With these two legions. Coupled with the militia group, they can barely hold the outer defense line of the Runing Army. Wu Shigong will bring all the three regiments and the artillery regiment directly under the headquarters of Tiger Roar Town, and look for an opportunity to launch an attack on the peasant army.

As soon as a decision was made, Wu Shigong was ready to send those children of the officials and gentry who returned to Germany back to the German mansion, but this time he had to do it seriously. Wu Shigong no longer has the spare time to protect the children of those officials and gentry.

But Wu Shigong didn't expect that as soon as the children of the officials and gentry heard that there was a big battle to be fought, they were even more enthusiastic. They were under the leadership of Hou Fangyu. The collective asked Wu Shigong for his life and asked to participate in this war. Even some of the older children of the official gentry are in this kind of group excitement, and some of them are difficult to retreat.

In desperation, Wu Shigong could only ask them for three chapters: let Hou Fangyu and they must obey their orders. Don't act at will. Moreover, Wu Shigong is also ready to use an infantry regiment to protect their safety.

Afterwards. Wu Shigong sent a messenger to report to the headquarters and the Zhou Patrol Office. He wanted to take out all the more than 10,000 horses in Tiger Roar Town in the camp. It then entered Kaifeng Province from the northern part of Runing Province, and then headed west, passing through the eastern side of Ruzhou to attack the peasant army.

"What's the matter, sir? Is there anything going on in my hometown? Zhou Xun asked strangely.

"I haven't heard of it. That's how the adults ordered! The soldiers who came to give the order also told the truth to Zhou Xun.

"Grass!" Zhou Xun suddenly cursed secretly. If it weren't for the superiority and humility, Zhou Xun might have scolded Wu Shigong: "Nonsense! "That's it.

According to the original combat mission of the Weekly Patrol Division. He will lead two legions, on the basis of ensuring the safety of Ye County, at any time to support Ruzhou City and Nanyang Fucheng, which may be attacked by the peasant army. And looking for fighters to raid and eat away at a part of the peasant army.

Therefore, this kind of operation is limited and controllable, and the radius of the operation will not be very large, and Zhou Xun is confident that he will successfully complete this combat mission.

However, according to Wu Shigong's new order, the Nanyang Runing Army led by Zhou Xun must cooperate with Wu Shigong's Tiger Roar Town. However, there was no Jihua before the war, and there was no prior contact, so it was easy to make a flaw due to a mistake in coordination. In case the peasant army finds a fighter, the Runing army may not even be able to achieve the lowest goal before the war. Therefore, Zhou Xun was very resistant to Wu Shigong's whim order in his heart.

Not only Zhou Xun, but even Deng Qifan and Xue Yongli, who stayed in Runing, were a little puzzled. The information that Wu Shigong knew was also known to the civil and military officials who remained in the headquarters. But this information was expected before the war, and there was nothing surprising about it, and there was nothing dangerous about it.

But Wu Shigong suddenly came with an order for general mobilization, so Deng Qifan and Xue Yongli gathered troops according to Wu Shigong's order on the one hand; On the other hand, send a fast horse to Wu Shigong to find out what new situation is happening?

Of course, Wu Shigong couldn't say why. Therefore, he could only explain to Deng Qifan and the others: he had found a good opportunity to deal a blow to the peasant army, so he temporarily decided to use Tiger Roar Town.

Regarding Wu Shigong's explanation, Deng Qifan and Xue Yongli are still not very convinced. However, because Wu Shigong had established a very high prestige in the army for a long time, when he arrived in Zuihou, Huhe Town still set off from the Runing Army camp on time.

However, because it was a temporary mobilization, the speed of mobilization would definitely not be the fastest, and by the time Tiger Roar Town had prepared everything and marched to Wu Shigong's camp, nine days had passed. Therefore, on the fifth day of the lunar month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Wu Shigong led the Tiger Roar Town, the pro-army team and the children of the official gentry to officially set off. After a five-day march, on the 10th, the main force of the Runing Army entered Ruzhou according to the predetermined route.

In order to cooperate with the actions of Wu Shigong's main force, the Zhou Patrol Department also carried out a series of feints. They kept approaching and retreating, taking advantage of the change of pace to cause panic among the peasant army and focus the peasant army's attention on themselves. (To be continued......)
