Li Guo pondered: "Our army is strong. If we are in a low position, we will definitely defend the city, wait for work, deploy artillery and various defensive equipment on the top of the city, and wait for the attack."

Wu Zheng said: "This is of course true, but I don't understand why General Li holds five thousand troops and takes a defensive position against the three thousand invading enemies?"

Li Guo didn't even think about it: "With our army's strong combat power, wouldn't it be stupid if we take the initiative to attack?"

These words made Wu Zheng and the generals laugh.

"Am I wrong?" Li Guo felt a little embarrassed.

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "General Li is right. If it were me, I wouldn't take the initiative. But the question is, did Boluo know that the Northern Expedition Army and I came?"

Li Guo was stunned, yes, how could Boluo know?

From Wuchang, the three thousand Northern Expedition Army were wearing the uniform of Zhongzhen Camp and did not encounter large-scale battles along the way. Where did Boluo know that Wu Zheng's Northern Expedition Army came?

After all, Li Guo is a man of many battles. He had a flash of inspiration in his heart, "What the prince means is Boluo will take the initiative?"

Wu Zheng said: "According to my understanding of him, there should be 60% possibility... General Li, leading troops to fight requires not only courage, but also to guess the psychology, thoughts, demands, etc. of the opponent's commander... If Boluo knew that the king was coming, his choice could only be to escape. We could not catch up. Even if we directly attack Shangrao from noon, Boluo wanted to escape, we would not be able to catch up."

Li Guo nodded and said, "But Shangrao City can be captured."

Wu Zheng laughed, "The city is there, no matter whether our army attacks or not, it is there, and Boluo cannot take it away. But if Boluo doesn't know that the king is coming, then he will say nothing. With Boluo's ability and nature, can he tolerate the loss of three thousand cavalry in vain?"

Li Jiaodao: "I understand what the prince is thinking, but since we know that Boluo will lead the army to attack, should we make some preparations or build some fortifications?"

Wu Zheng clicked Li Liu and said, "Does General Li want to report the message to Boluo?"

Li Guo exclaimed: "How can the prince doubt the loyalty of the humble official?"

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "Just, General Li doesn't have to take it seriously! In this small town, any fortifications will be seen by Boluo. Once it is seen through, Boluo naturally thinks that our army is already prepared. When we turn our heads and leave, won't we have to rear-end and eat dust?"

Li Guo frowned and said, "Don't prepare, if Boluo comes, wouldn't he be caught off guard?"

Wu Zheng turned his hand to point at the generals under his command and said, "This is why I summoned them. As long as these people don't fall asleep, Boro will not be able to gain any advantage."

Only then did Li Guo realize that Wu Zheng had already prepared.

Wu Zheng was right. Boluo was fully aware of the annihilation battle at noon. After all, it was Boluo's order.

In addition, Zhengjiafang is too close to Shangrao City, so you can't hide it if you want to hide it.

The eyeliner will naturally report the battle process to Boro one by one.

Therefore, even if Boluo directly attacked Shangrao City at noon, he would be able to lead his army to flee south.

Of course, from the ultimate goal of capturing Shangrao City, Wu Zheng should indeed lead his army to attack directly.

But Wu Zheng wanted more, that is, to stay Boluo!

Even if it cannot be captured, it must be eliminated quickly.

This is the real reason why Wu Zheng did not attack immediately. Just as Wu Zheng said, three thousand cavalry were wiped out, Shangrao City was a must-have fruit for the Northern Expedition Army. The difference was nothing more than time.

And no matter how late it is, it will not be two days later, because in two days, the loyal camp responsible for transporting artillery will arrive.

At that time, if you can't beat it, are you still afraid that you won't be able to hit it?

....

The night of murder in dark moon and high winds.

In addition to the one thousand defenders who stayed at the North Gate, Boro almost came out of his pocket.

Four thousand men advanced northward like ghosts in the darkness.

When approaching the five miles of Zhengjiafang, the work orders were made and the army stopped advancing.

Boluo was very careful. He sent two teams of 300 people from east to west to encircle Zhengjiafang.

This move is called "there is real in the virtual world, and there is virtual in the real world, and the real is damaged.

In other words, if the enemy in Zhengjiazhuang is not prepared, then these 600 people will act as vanguards and assault the town from both east and west, thereby causing chaos among the enemy. At that time, the distance between the five miles will no longer be an obstacle, and you can easily attack the division and lay a victory in one fell swoop.

But on the contrary, if the enemy is prepared and even set up an ambush, then these six hundred people will be abandoned by Boluo without hesitation. He will lead the main force back to Shangrao City as the same way. Even if the enemy wants to chase after these five miles, it will be too late.

....

Whether you are prepared or not is actually a feeling.

Even if there is no defense, there will definitely be soldiers patrolling the army's garrison, and open and secret whistles are indispensable.

If you want to know if there is a real ambush, you can only try it out by touching it in and killing a few people.

Two Qing soldiers touched the town from both east and west.

But the problem is that the town is pitch black.

When I touched the houses along the street, I searched, but there was no one who could breathe.

As they slowly approached the center of the town, two Qing soldiers appeared at the same time, and faint lights came from the ancestral hall on the east side of the Dashen Site.

The lights that seemed to be present and not present allowed the two Qing soldiers to bypass the large drying ground and head towards the ancestral hall.

They met outside the ancestral hall and attacked the ancestral hall at the same time.

These two teams of Wang Qingshuai soldiers were here to reconnaissance and disruption. They were not afraid of exposure. But the problem was that after rushing into the ancestral hall, there was nothing else except for the case of the main hall. They rushed into the oil lamp that was about to be extinguished by the wind.

The enemy has retreated?

They looked at each other in surprise, and finally found the signal tube on their bodies, walked into the yard, and shot signals into the dark sky.

Under the night, the fireworks rising were clearly eye-catching.

When Boluo saw this ball of fireworks, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He shouted, "The whole army marched towards Zheng Jiafang!"

....

Everything went smoother than I thought.

Boro led his army into the town, but he muttered in his heart, this was too quiet, right?

But since the striker has sent a signal, this doubt has not attracted Boro's attention.

After meeting with the forward in the town center's big sun court, I realized that there was no enemy in the town.

It turns out that today's night attack was in vain?

However, Boluo was actually relieved. The enemy was able to retreat when he saw the difficulties, which at least showed that the enemy had no intention of attacking Shangrao City.

Boluo ordered loudly: "I will send the order to set fire to the town, and then the entire army will withdraw to Shangrao City."

In an instant, the fire rose in the ancestral hall and gradually spread out.

The Qing soldiers began to assemble and prepared to retreat.

At this time, a dense "bang-bonk" sound suddenly sounded, and in the blink of an eye, the shells exploded in the ancestral hall area.
