"Zhang Qianda didn't take the initiative to surround and kill Leader Shang." Xu Shiying thought for a moment and immediately made a judgment. "He noticed that we were crossing the river and panicked. He didn't dare to stay alone on the east bank of Guoshui, so he crossed back overnight.

, went to get closer to other troops, and happened to bump into Leader Shang."

Everyone's expressions softened slightly.

After all, if this is the case, it is Shang Huaien and his subordinates who are unlucky, not that the army's combat power has reached a certain level compared to the Forbidden Army.

"But this is bad news from the perspective of the current war situation." Li Ding's face turned dark. "Because the smart people in the Forbidden Army will immediately realize that we have no intention of besieging Zhang Qianda, and then be careful in other directions.

, not to mention that the leader Mang showed up in front of their army in person... Chief Zhang, don't hesitate, don't wait for Wu Dalang and Xia Hou Ningyuan's battalions, first eat the six thousand people and the nearest reinforcements in front of them.

, let’s talk about other things! Attack immediately!”

No matter who was around, when they heard the last four words, they all put the rest of the matter behind their minds and looked at Zhang Xing.

"Okay!" Zhang Xing continued to be kind to Li Ding, and he raised his voice in the audience and gave the military order. "Let's attack according to the original plan, Mang King Kong!"

"My... subordinate is here!" Mang Kingang hurriedly handed over his hand.

"In addition to your main camp, the four battalions of Xu Kaidao, Zhang Shanxiang, Pang Jingang, and Fan Wang will join you. You will also place the remnant of Shang Huaien's troops. You go back to the south and bite the combined forces of Zhang Qianda and Li Anyuan!

Don't let them come to the north, and don't let them run away. If you have any concerns before the battle, ask Shan Longtou for military orders!"

"I know!" Mang Kingang responded immediately.

Among the battalions pointed out by Zhang Xing, except for Fan Wang, who was already crossing the river on the southern line, the other three also followed the bald man.

"Shan Tonghai!" Zhang Xing called to another person.

"My... subordinate is here!" He also changed his title, but Shan Dalang didn't seem to react. He was obviously stuck for a moment before he quickly handed over.

"In addition to your main camp, the four battalions of Chang Hui, Fang Yanshi, Guo Jingke, and Zuo Caixiang are also going south from you, flanking the downstream to surround the current enemy. There are military changes on the way. The entire

South Wing, you make your own decision! If Wu Dalang and others cross the river from the southern front, they will also obey your command! Han Erlang, Liu Heifu will also be yours if they go to the southern front!"

"It's your order!" Shan Tonghai's breathing was obviously heavy.

Except for Prime Minister Zuo Cai, who had already crossed the river in advance and was on the southern line, the other three people also stood behind Shan Tonghai.

Next, under the dim light in the auditorium, Zhang Xing glanced at Wang Shuyong and Niu Da and ordered again: "Wang Shuyong!"

Wang Wu was excited for a moment and immediately handed over his hands: "I obey my orders."

"Zhang Gongshen, Feng Duan, Fan Bao, and Cao Chen will follow you to the north. Like Shan Dalang, you will be responsible for the northern flank, encirclement and encirclement. At the same time, you will have the power to make temporary decisions on the northern front!"

"Please rest assured, chief!" Wang Wulang felt as if his chest was about to burst. "This battle will be a great success!"

"Niuda."

"Chief's orders!" Niuda perked up.

"Su Mu, Zhang Dao will go with you first and block the road outside the city. We don't want to destroy the city, but we want to divide and lock the enemy. If the military situation changes, we will inform Wang Wulang and listen to his military orders."

"clear."

"Xu Shiren." Zhang Xing suddenly called out another unexpected name.

"The general is here." Xu Shiren bowed his head respectfully.

"You are the vanguard. Wang Xiongdan is under your command. Jia Runshi and Zhai Kuan in front are also under your command. They rush directly to the front and join forces with Jia Wugen to attack He Xi!"

"No!" Xu Shiren didn't hesitate at all.

Wang Xiongdan stood behind Xu Shiren without hesitation.

"Jia Yue, you are the second forward." Zhang Xing nodded another person. "Zhai Qian is your deputy, and we will set off on the second line."

Jia Yue said nothing, only bowed his head and saluted.

Zhai Qian, on the other hand, smiled as he saluted: "I'm about to meet these forbidden troops again."

Hearing this, Zhang Xing couldn't help but smile. Many people who were tense around him also smiled, and the atmosphere relaxed slightly.

"Inform Wu Jingfeng that the four battalions of Li Zida, Wu Changzai, Xia Hou Ningyuan and Wang Hou who have not yet crossed the river have been handed over to him for unified dispatch. Let him pay attention to the military situation on the front line, arrange the river crossing routes for each battalion on his own, and come as quickly as possible to respond to the battlefield support!" Laughs

After that, Zhang Xing continued to give orders, speaking to the documents of Yu Changnan behind him.

Yu Changnan nodded in agreement and went to the small viewing gallery to write some documents.

"The remaining people, from King Xiongtian down, all the remaining leaders, clerks, joined the army, and prepared to set off together with the last seven battalions (Li Ding, Xu Shiying, Chai Xiaohe, Su Jingfang, Fan Lihua, Wang Chenxu),

To serve as the central army." Zhang Xing gave the final order without any pause. "Who has any other suggestions or objections? Put them forward at the last chance! Otherwise, prepare to go out!"

Among all the people, only Li Ding opened his mouth, but in the end he remained silent.

The military order announced by Zhang Xing was probably the temporary plan he personally formulated this morning, Li Silang, based on the situation of crossing the river. Eighteen battalions spread their wings on the left and right, and the remaining dozen battalions attacked forward in three sections, front and rear... Only one battalion

There was a slight change... It was not Niu Da and Wang Shuyong, but the forward and the central army. The original forward was Su Mu leading Fan Lihua, Wang Chen was stunned, and Su Jingfang, which was his Wu'an army. However, Zhang Xing temporarily

It was changed to Xu Shiren leading Wang Xiongdan and Jia Runshi, his chief Zhang's pro-military troops.

In fact, the arrangement Li Dalongtou made before was not to facilitate his subordinates to perform meritorious service or to show their loyalty. The main purpose was to make the elite generals of the Forbidden Army fall into a state of doubt and fear through the sudden appearance of Wu'an Army.

Now, Zhang Xing has arranged this and directly uses his own troops as vanguards, which has a similar effect.

Moreover, it also avoided the war-avoidance mentality of the newly surrendered Wu'an Army.

Therefore, Li Ding finally kept his mouth shut.

No one objected, no one proposed a new plan.

Zhang Xing nodded and made a routine statement in the Baidi Temple with his back to the rough-shaped statue of Baidi:

"Everyone, I won't reiterate military law or anything... I will just say one thing. We have discussed this battle a long time ago. No one wants to fight it because it will not have a big effect on the situation and will only cost the lives of our brothers. But

The war is still going on, why?! It's because the Imperial Guards broke their contract and came to fight in our territory! And they looted excessively along the way. If they were allowed to behave like this, Qiaojun, Liangjun, and Xingyang would all be eaten clean by them.

We have to fight this battle to protect our own home. In this battle, we are the home-defending gang!"

After saying that, the chief waved his hand: "As for fighting, if you can't do it, once you do it, you must do your best. Therefore, I hope you will fight hard and kill one of these forbidden soldiers in this vortex.

Rivers of blood have flowed, so use the blood of the Wei Dynasty’s legacy to cleanse the place and frighten the world!”

The generals rushed out of the observation hall with a roar, organized their troops, and set off.

Zhang Xing and others are in the Chinese Army and belong to the last rank. They are a little more calm, but they still need to put on their clothes immediately.

While everyone was busy, Zhang Xing remembered something and finally mentioned it to Li Ding, who was helping each other put on armor: "Where is Shi Niang? Didn't I lead the camp for you? Why didn't I see her when I turned back from Xuzhou Road?

"

Li Ding was stunned for a moment, and immediately gave an answer: "She got some secret message from the True Fire Cult the night after you left, and told me that her mentor's mentor was in Huaibei, and asked her to inquire about something... It depends on her.

I mean, as a serious elder, I let her go, but I didn’t expect to miss this battle."

"My mentor's mentor...could it be that Qianjin Cult Master has arrived in Huaibei? Hasn't he been wandering south of the Yangtze River?" Zhang Xing was obviously puzzled. "It can't be that Xiao Hui is afraid that we will rob Huainan, so he sent people to ask us what we are and what is true.

Bar?"

"If it was the former, I should have gone to see him." Li Ding had already considered it. "If it was the latter, Shiniang only knew a few things about Wu An and didn't know the true nature of the gang; secondly, we didn't even think about it seriously.

Matters in Huainan."

"It's tasteless, it's worthless." Zhang Xing almost blurted out. "It's tasteless to eat, it's a pity to throw it away."

"Huainan can't be called useless, because we are already beyond our capabilities. If we forcefully take over Huainan, it's not impossible, but with the current strength of the Gang, I'm afraid we will have to change our strategy and concentrate on running Jianghuai." Li Ding refuted seriously.

"Are you going to give up the established Hebei strategy that has been implemented for more than two years and turn around to run Jianghuai?"

"How is it possible to run Jianghuai?" Zhang Xing pressed the other party's heart mirror and replied quietly. "How do you know that this is useless and just talking about Huainan?"

Li Ding was stunned for a moment. After all, he had given up on trying to break up with the other party verbally.

In this way, the two of them cooperated with each other and were fully clothed. The others also tidied up their clothes and armor, and then swarmed out of the small temple.

When we came outside, it still rained in May between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River, but maybe because the rain was not heavy and it was in the morning, the view was much better than in the morning... And as far as the eye could see, countless sergeants were wearing raincoats,

Or just wearing armor, they all marched in teams in the rain around the platform. There were officers running back and forth, giving orders constantly, and flags of various colors were hoisted and hung in the rain.

Among them, the most eye-catching thing is that every moment someone slips, falls, or rolls out of the queue. Most of them get up again with the help of their comrades to keep up, but a small number of people can only move aside.

, nervously watching his comrades leave.

This is the necessity for large troops to fight in the rain.

In fact, there is a camp just beside the road to the east of the platform from the Guohe River, where all the sick and wounded are gathered due to falls, sprains, and illnesses caused by being exposed to the rain while marching.

The sergeants were strictly ordered to make noise early in the morning, and crossed the river at night. They even held medals for a while when gathering. At this time, although no one lifted the ban, the movement of the march and the transmission of military orders clearly created a noise similar to a noise.

There is no way to block the movement.

When they walked out of the crude Baidi Temple, they were faced with the rain and these scenes. Looking at and listening to these things, many people were a little confused.

"Much better than Lishan." Zhang Xing read it over and concluded. "Military discipline, soldier quality, spirit, and logistics are all much better."

"It must be so." Chai Xiaohe interjected.

"Let me just say, we are not that bad. We cannot collapse at the first touch with the Forbidden Army." Xiong Bonan's face also improved a lot.

"However, now that the movement has been released and the troops have been activated, the Imperial Army will soon notice something." Xu Shiying frowned slightly and was the first to speak.

"It doesn't matter now." Zhang Xing narrowed his eyes slightly. "Raise my flag with the word 'Deposed' and speed up the dispatch of troops!"

Facts have proved that Xu Shiying and other gang leaders still underestimated the top and bottom ranks of the Forbidden Army. Not to mention anything else, the deposed flag has not yet been raised. On the designated battlefield more than ten miles away, there has not yet been a battle today.
To be continued...
