Chapter 412
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen recalled the situation of the battle during the day, and thought it was okay, after all, he only persisted for a long time.

But who knows that Zhang Dingguo was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "My adoptive father said, if it is the Baigan army, judging from the performance of the Battle of Hunhe, don't say persist for half a day, just persist for a day. Even In the event that reinforcements may arrive, the Peasant Army may retreat. But the Datong Army is different. If they really had the heart to fight to the death, they might have defeated the Peasant Army by putting in all the remaining troops when the battle was intense yesterday. gone."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help frowning and said, "In your adoptive father's opinion, Wu Xiang doesn't have the heart to fight to the death?"

After saying this, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be many escaped generals in the late Ming Dynasty, so Wu Xiang was probably one of them?
"Yes, both my adoptive father and Uncle Liu think that the Datong Army is hesitant to fight and has no intention of fighting to the death. I'm afraid we won't last long in the battle tomorrow!"

Zhang Dingguo's answer silenced everyone.Because the Datong army was greedy for meritorious service, it was lured by the bandits to become a prominent army. It had already fought the bandits, but the other two armies might be defeated before they could reach the battlefield.

This battle was very similar to the battle of Saerhu, which had always been a pain in Daming's heart.At that time, several groups of people and horses also attacked together, but they did not encircle them according to the regulations, and they rushed forward, and they were defeated by Jianlu one by one.

Emperor Chongzhen understood that it would be useless to hate Wu Xiang any more at this time, so he asked Zhang Dingguo, "Ask your adoptive father, is there a way to turn the tide of the battle?"

Zhang Dingguo said "Oh" and then fell silent. This time the silence was longer, and he spoke again after a long time, "My adoptive father said, my adoptive father and Uncle Liu's troops are in the peasant army It's not too much. If the two groups of people suddenly acted up, it could cause chaos to the peasant army, and thus have a certain chance of winning. But if the Datong army has no heart to fight to the death, it is likely to have no effect. Maybe the Datong army will take advantage of it instead. If we run away when the peasant army is in chaos, then our two groups of people will be in danger."

Or because he was afraid of misunderstanding, Zhang Dingguo immediately added: "Among the two groups of people, only a few of our cronies know about the fact that we have abandoned the dark and turned to the bright. There is a danger of being exposed. Therefore, my adoptive father feels that to win this war, we cannot completely rely on the sudden actions of our two troops."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, this is not an excuse.If you have been recruited by the imperial court, you have to keep it as secret as possible in the den of thieves, otherwise, who can guarantee that the person has hatred for the imperial court, does not want to be recruited and leaks the news, then there are thieves around, it must be very dangerous.

But in this way, the key to encircle and exterminate the thieves in the end is to return to the original point, which depends on the heart of the Datong Army to fight to the death.It's a pity that there are no people in the chat group on the side of the Datong Army, otherwise he would be able to know the situation of the Datong Army. Even if he doesn't have the heart to fight to the death, he can still have the heart to fight to the death!

After being encircled for so long, and in the final decisive battle, such a situation occurred, which made Emperor Chongzhen a little depressed.Then Wu Xiang has just been made an earl, will he fight to the death because of serving the court?
He thought about it, but still wasn't sure.Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he chatted with Sun Chengzong privately, asking about Wu Xiang's leadership style.After all, Sun Chengzong should be very familiar with the generals who were born in Guan Ning.

Unexpectedly, after Sun Chengzong realized the importance of the battle, he asked carefully about the specific situation of the battle. After a while, he gave an inexact answer: Wu Xiang might not fight to the death!
Needless to say, then Wu Xiang will definitely not fight to the death.Emperor Chongzhen came to a conclusion in his heart and couldn't help being very annoyed. After this battle was over, he would ask Wu Xiang to settle the score again.A general who can't fight to the death is worthy of a high position in the army?
Just when he was a little worried about tomorrow's battle, he heard Zhang Dingguo say again after a long silence: "My adoptive father said that if there are officers and soldiers who can cooperate and attack the peasant army suddenly at night, my adoptive father and Uncle Liu They can cooperate immediately and create chaos, so the chances of winning are great!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately added: "If there are no officers and soldiers showing up and it's just false news, I'm afraid it won't have much effect."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought to himself, isn't this nonsense? If there are officers and soldiers who can attack the bandits in the dark, then there is nothing to say!But even if the other two groups travel all day and night, they will arrive tomorrow morning!
Just as he was thinking this way, Sun Chuanting, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Let me handle this matter!"

"You?" Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed at first, then shook his head, "Dai County doesn't have any troops, what are you going to use to attack the bandits? Without the protection of the city wall, the troops in Dai County are too dangerous!"

"Yeah, there are a lot of rogues, and the troops in Dai County are not enough for rogues." Zhang Fengyi also expressed her opinion at this time, "The soldiers are not good, there are not many people, and there is no advantage. Maybe it will make Dai County The county is in danger."

Sun Chuanting saw the opinions expressed by the two of them one after another, but he still insisted on his own opinion, but he also put forward a condition: "As long as the imperial court can reward me heavily, I will be able to bring people who dare to die to attack. With the cover of night, I will let someone pretend to be Yan Yan." Sui Jun, the thieves don't know the details, and with the guerrilla cooperation of Zhang and Liu, this is bound to happen!"

"Then what about the rogues who besieged the city?" Zhang Fengyi had rich experience in combat and immediately raised a question.

Sun Chuanting seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, so he immediately replied: "The thieves withdrew their main force to ambush the Datong army early this morning. They surrounded three and one, and the number of them was greatly reduced. Just be careful, and the thieves who besieged the city It must have been unexpected that I would lead the army out of the city, and I should be able to smuggle through."

That being said, this action is obviously very dangerous.This Sun Chuanting actually wanted to lead the army to fight in person. Among the civil servants, besides Lu Xiangsheng, he might be the No. 1 with this courage!Emperor Chongzhen thought so, and couldn't help but have a strong interest in Sun Chuanting.

At this time, Zhang Dingguo immediately followed up and said: "My adoptive father said that as long as the official army suddenly appeared, it would be the best to pretend to be the Yansui army. Among the peasant army, especially the peasant army from Qin, the most feared thing is Yansui Army. At that time, my adoptive father and Uncle Liu will respond immediately and create chaos. In the dark night, others do not know the details, and this battle will definitely be won!"

Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard that, but he didn't expect that the dark will come to light.However, he was still very cautious. After going through the matter again, he asked Sun Chuanting again: "It's okay for the imperial court to reward you heavily, but this matter is very dangerous. How many people from Dai County will fight?"
