Chapter 70: Lead the Serpent Out of the Hole

The lights were bright, and Chen Wang sat on top of the Ming Hall, looking at the map in his hand, listening to the report of the soldier in tattered linen clothes in front of him.

The news of the return of those sentinels was far clearer than Chen Wang expected, and even drew a rather detailed map indicating several important information.

It is not a secret that there are 900 Liao cavalry in Chunhua City.

Those homeless spies who had already entered the city had already used various means to deliver their news out of the city.

In order to prevent the Ming army from attacking the camp, martial law has now been declared in the camp.

Many people only know that Li Zicheng was born in a post station, but in fact, after the post station was abolished, he also served as a border soldier and became the general manager all the way.

Li Zicheng himself has some experience in leading troops to fight, and then he led the righteous army all the way to fight.

In many battles with the Ming army, Li Zicheng's progress can be said to be visible to the naked eye, and the basic skill of camping and fortification is not bad.

Although the camp wall of the camp facing Chunhua has not been erected due to time, there are also many obstacles.

A defensive position was set up, and the layout was almost watertight, and there were not many flaws.

But after all, there were too many old and weak in the rear camp, and the precautions were not strict, and all the sentinels sent out were mixed in.

All the news that came out was summarized, and it also roughly outlined the general situation of the camp after the rogues.

Li Zicheng only divided into a team of about 10,000 people and a team of more than 3,000 horses for protection.

The station of the horse team is at the end, the infantry team is outside, and the rear camp is guarded by Gao Jie and Han Zheng in the north and south, Gao Jie guards the south, and Han Zheng guards the north.

Zhang Chengde led the troops in the west to guard the rear camp.

Han Zheng and Zhang Chengde have a slightly lower status than Gao Jie, but they are also generals under Li Zicheng.

Chen Wang also got a message that Hui Dengxiang was not with Li Zicheng, but went all the way north, not knowing where he went.

However, Li Zicheng's horse team had about 9,000 people, and the elite cavalry had expanded to 3,000 people.

There were 40,000 infantry and hungry soldiers, including the rear battalion, and 50,000 were old and weak.

Compared to when they encountered in Hutou Town, there were many more horses and elite horses, and their strength had almost doubled.

Chen Wang knew that some of Li Zicheng's horse army and elite cavalry might not be here, guarding the official road from Pizhou to Sanshui to prevent being attacked from both sides.

Now Li Zicheng is actually taking an adventure, from Sanshui to Chunhua, there is only one avenue that can be passed at this time, and the two mountains are sandwiched.

If Zuo Liangyu defeated the troops behind his palace, he only needed to hold Sanshui, and they would become turtles in the urn.

At that time, it was extremely difficult to escape by riding alone.

Because of the need for defense, the camp of Gaojie's garrison was on the periphery.

The rogues are no longer the same group of people who used to be completely chaotic, they already have basic discipline, and there are even relevant regulations in the old, weak, and hungry barracks.

However, the control of the old and weak and hungry soldiers was not high, and it did not go too deep into the grassroots, and most of the people still did not know each other, so they also gave the sentry a chance.

No one in the Chuang army thought that the Ming army would send sentinels to infiltrate the rear camp.

The sentinels who entered the camp found out a lot of things, and in the camp behind the army, the vigilance of all the soldiers was extremely low, except for the slightly tighter garrison near the periphery, the rest were extremely lax.

There was little defense for the old and hungry soldiers in the camp, and in some places the soldiers on night duty were even sleeping, and there were few patrols for the night.

Chen Wang took the map in his hand, raised his head, and stared at the waiting sentry in front of him.

Getting in touch with Gao Jie doesn't seem to be a difficult task now.

But when it came to the end, Chen Wang was difficult to calm down.

He was a little hesitant whether to really send a message to Gao Jie and let him cooperate with him inside and out.

There are still a lot of variables, and there is no guarantee that it will be foolproof.

In case something happens that causes the news to leak, Li Zicheng will set up an ambush if he plans to do so.

When the time comes, he will lead his troops into battle and encounter thousands of ambushes, even if he saves his life, I am afraid that this battalion general will not be able to do it, and all his efforts have been in vain.

Military attachés were promoted much faster in wartime than civilian officials.

However, if a civilian official makes a mistake, the most that can be punished and demoted is possible.

However, if the school is defeated, it will be dismissed from the post at the least, and beheaded at the worst.

Even if the plan was successful, Gao Jie stirred up trouble in the rear camp, but he only had less than 2,000 troops capable of field battles.

It's okay for the guards to defend the city, let him go into battle with knives and guns, and once he encounters a headwind, he is afraid that he will run faster than anyone else.

A total of 6,000 horses and 6,000 infantry were placed on the periphery of Li Zicheng's front camp, while the Chinese army was guarded by 3,000 elite cavalry, totaling 15,000 people.

Two thousand against fifteen thousand, more than seven times the difference in strength......

All kinds of chaotic thoughts lingered in Chen Wang's mind for a while.

If you are not careful, it will be an abyss......

The past of the Battle of Hutou Town is still vivid.

Chen Wang's expression was deep, and his gaze flickered with the lights in the tent.

All the military academies in the hall were holding their breath, waiting for Chen Wang's decision.

Chen Gong and Hu Zhili are only Chen Wangma's head.

And Tang Shiping watched Chen Wang go all the way from a family member to a hundred presidents and generals.

Until now, he has been promoted to a thousand generals, and even led a battalion alone.

He was originally only a deputy general manager, but now he also took advantage of Chen Wang's shareholder wind and was promoted to become the acting general manager.

Tang Shiping had already made up his mind to follow Chen Wang, and following Chen Wang was undoubtedly the best choice he made.

Zhao Huailiang was silent, and he also learned that Chen Wang had been promoted all the way.

It took him more than ten years to become the general manager, but Chen Wang directly gave the general manager at the beginning, temporarily acting as the general manager, and now he is the sole leader of the battalion, and everything is less than two months.

Although he has now been demoted to deputy general, Chen Wang let him do the affairs of the deputy battalion general, and did not remove him from the core layer.

Most of the hundreds of generals in the hall were family members under Cao Wenzhao, and they received orders to come to help, so naturally they all looked towards Chen Wang.

Today's military discussion can be described as Chen Wang's words.

But because of this, there is no one to discuss with Chen Wang now.

Chen Wang now needs to bear the huge pressure alone.

The more he thought about it, the more Chen Wang felt that the original plan was too rough.

Take the initiative to attack, now the enemy army is heavily guarded, and there are not many soldiers under his command.

Even if there is Gao Jieli who should cooperate with the outside, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the more than 100,000 troops outside the city, and once they fall into a fierce battle, it will mean defeat.

The army led by Li Zicheng was not a complete rabble outside the city of Pizhou.

And the Liao cavalry he led was not an elite family who had followed Cao Wenzhao for many years to be born and died, and he himself was not Cao Bianjiao, but he did not have the martial name of the three armies.

Chen Wang slowly raised his head, and the candle flame in the Ming Hall kept dancing in his eyes.

He figured out something, he had fallen into a misunderstanding before, and there was no need for him to take the initiative.

Li Zicheng is now like him, waiting for the response in the city.

Why didn't he make a fuss about it, lay down the bait, and lure the snake out of the hole......
