    It's the second watch.

    Shi Yongen walked towards the outside of the camp with difficulty. As he walked, he suddenly heard footsteps and saw two civilian men running away quickly.

    All of a sudden, he ran over and went straight to the direction of Zhao Han's camp.

    Not long after, a few more peasants escaped from nearby.

    what's the situation?

    How could Zhang Xianzhong be negligent in guarding and allowing the civilians to flee, exposing the news that he retreated at night and set up an ambush?

    Could it be that there were too many civilians fleeing, and Zhang Xianzhong was busy withdrawing his troops, so he really couldn't handle it?

    It is very possible, and it belongs to the normal state of war.

    Shi Yongen was extremely confused, and Zhao Han was equally confused.

    Zhao Han knelt in front of two civilian husbands, and he didn't know if they were spies, so he didn't bother to make him stand up and speak.

    "Zhang Xianzhong really wanted to withdraw his troops overnight, but you found out and asked you to escape and report to me?" Zhao Han asked with a frown.

    A civilian husband said: "Zhao Tianwang, we really didn't talk."

    Another civilian husband said: "The eight thieves asked us to carry food and grass before it was dark, and moved all of them to the valley in the northwest. They must be thinking of leading the troops to escape at night."

    Zhao Han asked many more details, and waved someone to take them down.

    Li Zheng still had that cautious character, and asked, "Do you want to interrogate separately?"

    Zhao Han shook his head and said, "No need. These two are real civilian husbands, and there will be no result in the retrial. What is worrying now is whether Zhang Xianzhong deliberately let them go to lure us into the camp, but set up an ambush in the camp.  Or lead us to chase into the ravine and set up an ambush attack in the ravine."

    Lu Xiangsheng said: "First attack the camp with hundreds of elite infantry and cavalry to test whether there is an ambush in the enemy's camp. No matter what, first occupy the camp of the bandits."

    "Yes, fight steadily, don't chase into the mountains for the time being." Li Zheng said.

    Xiao Zongxian held up a candle, brought the candlelight close to the map of Huangzhou Prefecture, and asked in confusion: "Will Zhang Xianzhong not flee to the northwest?"

    "He either goes out of the mountain to the northwest, or goes out of the mountain to the north. No matter which way he goes, he is surrounded by us step by step." Li Zheng said.

    Xiao Zongxian pointed to a map and said, "Isn't there a large space here?"

    Wang Hui, who had already returned to the team, explained: "There is a swamp, and it is impossible for the army to pass through. Even if it can pass here, it will take tens of thousands of troops a day to cross the swamp. Besides the swamp, it is not far from the main force of our army.  He can easily catch up, he might as well flee to the northwest."

    Zhao Han looked at the map again, and always felt that something was wrong.

    Zhang Xianzhong stayed in the camp, that is to stick to it.  Fleeing to the northwest, fleeing to the north, and finally crossing the river to the west, Zhao Han fell into the trap of mobilizing all kinds of troops to encircle and wipe him out step by step.

    If you were Zhang Xianzhong, how would you choose?

    It seems that there is no choice, no matter how you choose, it will be a dead end.

    There is indeed a valley in the west, and after passing through the valley to the southwest, you will face a large swamp.  It was very close to Zhao Han's main force, and it was impossible to get out of the swamp for a while. If he was found to be more deadly than half-crossing, it was impossible for someone who knew how to fight to walk in the swamp.

    But Zhao Han just didn't feel right, because Zhang Xianzhong couldn't be dealt with so easily!

    Just as everyone was discussing the military situation, several civilian husbands were brought in.

    Some people say that Zhang Xianzhong's elite infantry entered the mountain ahead of time and might set up an ambush in the ravine.

    Some people say that Zhang Xianzhong's elite went north, probably to forcibly cross Henggang Mountain.

    The three pieces of information before and after can all confirm each other, but it confuses everyone even more.

    Li Zheng said: "I suggest that first capture the enemy's camp, and then divide the troops to pursue after dawn. The infantry enters the mountain and advances carefully, and the cavalry goes around the exit to block the support."

    Wang Hui reminded: "If the elite of the enemy army goes north to Henggang Mountain, Guangji City cannot relax its vigilance. Zhang Xianzhong may return to attack the city with his carbine at any time."

    Lu Xiangsheng also felt a little tricky: "Zhang Xianzhong is forcing us to divide our troops, and he is also deliberately leaking the news, so that we don't dare to go into the mountains to pursue, so as to buy time for ourselves to withdraw. He retreats at night with a lot of food and grass. Even if he sets up an ambush, as long as we  Chasing him may also cause his army to flee."

    "But we don't dare to gamble. Who knows what's going on in the mountains? It will be troublesome if we crash into the ambush circle." Li Zheng added.

    Zhao Han's brain is not enough, not only the generals lack experience in commanding in battle, but he himself is not as good as those generals under his command.

    Zhao Han could only ask Lu Xiangsheng: "If General Lu were Zhang Xianzhong, how would he choose to fight?"Loyalty took the initiative to divide into several.

    Most of the civilians threw it to Zhao Han, and the remaining half of the civilians were ready to throw it at any time.  Tens of thousands of elite infantry were divided into two parts, and they were always ready to flee into the mountains or fight guerrillas during the ambush.  As for Zhang Xianzhong's food and grass, it is estimated that all the fire starters are ready, and all of them will be burned and will not be left to Zhao Han.

    And Zhang Xianzhong himself led more than 10,000 cavalry and horse teams, and also led thousands of empty mules.  First cross the valley in the west, then march from the edge of the swamp, and after passing through the swamp, rush around Chilong Lake to attack Qizhou!

    Qizhou City is Zhang Xianzhong's site, and under the attack of the defenders, and it is also a night attack, Zhao Han's siege troops are likely to collapse.

    Li Zheng led the whole army on mules and rushed to Chilong Lake desperately.

    Really desperate, desperate for the life of the mule.

    Mules have great stamina, but they are not good at running fast. If they are forced to speed up the march, they will die even if they reach the destination.

    Before the mule team, there was also a horse, Warima, which ran to Chilong Lake as a messenger, and then changed boats to report to the friendly army outside Qizhou City.

    Zhang Xianzhong set off when it was dark, but he needed to cross the edge of the swamp and run around Chilong Lake.  However, the messengers sent by Zhao Han were dragged until the second watch, but they could ride horses or boats in a straight line.

    It's really hard to say who will arrive at Qizhou first.

    (Ask for a monthly ticket.) It took me a second to remember the address of this site.
