Li Zixiao was wearing a strong suit, strode into the handsome tent, raised his hand and waved: "No courtesy!" ”

Then he strode to the side of the big table in the middle of the tent, stood beside the big table, and spoke.

"Everyone, during this time, everyone has worked hard, and they all gathered around to show you something new today, and you should have seen all the things on this table.

This thing is called 'combat sand table', I just arranged someone to make it, and it is still relatively rough, so I can only mark the general terrain and important locations around Yiyang!

Let's make do with it first, and when we have time to go back, let's do it more finely. After Li Zixiao stood still, he said loudly to the generals.

Combat sand table? This is a new thing, Li Zixiao is really a new thing, and he will surprise everyone from time to time.

So, the generals immediately put down their hands, gathered around this sand table again, and began to focus on the sand table, waiting for Li Zixiao to speak.

After Li Zixiao cleared his throat, he glanced at the generals and said to them: "I think everyone knows that the thieves entrenched in our west have been soldiers this morning.

There is no doubt that the target is us, according to the intelligence collected by Han Tong and them, this time Li Zicheng was in Song County at this time, and he had nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses.

And this time, Li Zicheng will not bring a rabble like Tian Jianxiu's subordinates before, at least 20,000 people are trained veteran bandits.

Even the remaining 30,000 recruits have gone through the most advanced training, and this time will be a big test for us! ”

After hearing this, the generals couldn't help but gasp, 50,000 soldiers and horses, which is ten times more than them, and this force is too much!

In fact, except for Li Zixiao's stay in Jiaxian and sent to Baofeng, as well as the 800 soldiers left for Qi Wei, and then remove the baggage soldiers who will not participate in the battle unless necessary.

In fact, at this time, Li Zixiao was full of calculations, and the number of combatable soldiers who could be mobilized was only more than 4,000 people, and the strength of the two sides was far more than ten to one, which was too different.

Li Zixiao glanced at the expressions on the faces of the generals again, and after a slight pause, he asked them lightly, "What?" Did it scare you?

Just hearing the number of 50,000 rebels scares you? If anyone is afraid, they can bring it up, and I won't let him participate in this battle. ”

was asked by Li Zixiao, and the generals were a little unbearable on their faces, so they all straightened up and shouted: "Don't be afraid, what are you afraid of, it's just a group of bandits, we will kill as many as we come." ”

"Okay, what I want is your words, what I want is this momentum, this attitude.

I don't want you to scare yourself first when you hear that the chaotic army is big and menacing.

If that's the case, then we'll lose half of the battle before it starts.

As long as you don't have fear, then this will be easy to do, and no matter how many rebels come, we don't have to worry too much about anything.

When has our White Dragon Army been afraid of many enemies, no matter how many enemies there are, they can have more pellets than ours! We've all fought the Tartars, and these rebels can still be stronger than the Tartars! ”

"Yes!" The generals immediately shouted loudly.

The expressions on their faces immediately relaxed, and Li Zixiao's attitude gave them great encouragement.

The boss is not afraid, what are they afraid of as little brothers.

"That's it! There must be an attitude, but it doesn't mean that we can't ignore it, the chaotic army that attacked this time, after all, the name of the thief is still very loud.

There are a large number of chaotic troops attacking this time, and for our White Dragon Army, it is also a major test that we have faced since we formed an army, except after the last battle of the Northern Expedition.

Our White Dragon Army has always taken the route of elite soldiers, but we have to admit that when the number reaches a certain scale, it can be qualitatively changed.

So, the number of troops is an advantage that cannot be ignored. This time, the rebel army wants to crush us with its absolute superiority. So we can't afford not to pay attention to it.

According to the information sent back earlier, this morning, Liu Tichun, the general of the thieves, led 6,000 rebel troops to go out first, and it is expected that they will be able to arrive at Shangdian Town, where Luo is stationed at this time, this afternoon.

And Zhang Fugui also sent intelligence, and Tian Jianxiu, who was in the mountainous area in the south, also appeared, apparently having made contact with Li Zicheng, and most likely would cooperate with Li Zicheng's operation.

Although our forces are far inferior to the rebel army, we also have our advantages.

This time we can be regarded as fighting on our own, and the people of Yiyang absolutely support us, and the vast majority of the people here are with us.

We are close to Yiyang in the north, and Liu Zeqing is stationed there at this time, and Li Zicheng probably does not dare to risk walking from the north.

And our south is basically a mountainous area, although the rebel army has a lot of troops, but it is not easy to unfold.

That is to say, if the army of thieves wants to attack us, they must take the passage leading to Song County in the west, and we have built fortifications in Shangdian Town in advance.

If nothing else, it will be the place where we will fight the army of thieves.

Some time ago, I asked Luo to sweep several villages and towns in the west, and moved all the people there into the city, implementing the policy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and ensuring that the army of thieves would not get a grain of grain from us.

The purpose of the thieves attacking us, I guess one is for training, and the other is for food, since this is the case; Lao Tzu asked him not to think of a grain of food.

In this battle, there is indeed a huge disparity in the strength of our two sides, but we have the advantage of the right time, place and people, and we may not lose. Now, I command! ”

Hearing that Li Zixiao was about to give a combat order, all the generals stood upright.

On the sand table, Li Zixiao pointed out the position that needed to be paid attention to, and the route that the rebel army might attack.

The generals followed Li Zixiao, looked at the sand table, and after hearing Li Zixiao finish the order, the generals immediately shouted: "Follow the general's orders, our army will win!" ”

"Let's get ready to go!" Li Zixiao waved his hand.

This pre-war mobilization meeting lasted for a short time, and in less than half an hour, Li Zixiao completed the arrangement and announced the dissolution.

After a short time, the generals walked out of the tent, went down one by one, began to gather their subordinates, and busily prepared.

Soon, in the White Dragon Army barracks in Yiyang City, a team of soldiers quickly assembled, some of them left the barracks and left the city, and some of them needed to stay in Yiyang City.

In Yiyang City, the White Dragon Army used to take ten households as one armor, one hundred households as one guarantee, and one thousand households as a general guarantee, and Li Zixiao completely operated Yiyang in the management mode of a fortress.

At the same time, at this time, the old and weak women and children in the city were basically sent to Ruzhou City, and the rest were mostly men from sixteen to fifty, only more than 30,000 people, which was also the reserve soldiers prepared by Li Zixiao for himself.

Under the leadership of their respective commanders and security chiefs, these people quickly got busy, and they organized themselves one by one, took over the city defense, and took over the task of replacing the white dragon soldiers.

In addition to Yiyang County, Li Zixiao sent people to organize the people of the surrounding villages and towns as soon as possible and began to move towards the mountains.

Look for caves, or leeward shelters, build a nest to live in, leave their original dwelling as much as possible, and bring with them all the food and soft things they can carry.

If you can't take it away, you will find a place to dig a pit and bury it on the spot, and Li Zixiao will carry out the clearing of the field in the entire territory of Yiyang County, ensuring that not a single grain of grain will be left for the rebels.

Originally, many people near Yiyang were not very happy with this transfer.

In particular, some elderly people are unwilling to give up, they have lived in their homes for a long time, and they refuse to leave their villages for anything.

But with the previous time, Tian Jianxiu's experience was that many people in Yiyang had been poisoned by Tian thieves, and they hated the rebellious army very much.

In the past, these people had also heard of the name of King Chuang, and they were still looking forward to King Chuang's coming, but what Tian Jianxiu did some time ago completely disappointed the people here in King Chuang.

This time the rebel army is coming again, and these people instinctively think that the rebel army will definitely burn and loot them.

As a result, what Tian Jianxiu did before can be regarded as indirectly helping Li Zixiao, so that his policy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness can be implemented smoothly.

There are dozens of villages in Yiyang County, large and small, and finally they all decided to hide in the mountains together for a while, and Li Zixiao had already given them some food before.

For these people, if the house is burned down by the rebels, it can be rebuilt later, but if the people are killed, there is nothing.

Most of the common people obeyed the arrangement of the White Dragon Army, after all, except for some food they had just shared, basically the vast majority of them were all homeless and worthless at all.

If there was no food given to them by the White Dragon Army, it was estimated that it would be difficult for them to survive, and they were still grateful to Li Zixiao and the White Dragon Army in their hearts.

In a short period of time, many villages in Yiyang were basically empty, and they walked almost everywhere and took refuge in the nearby mountains.

The reason why Li Zixiao resolutely implements the policy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness is because Li Zixiao is well aware of the nature of Li Zicheng's chaotic army.

They are the best at mobile warfare, getting supplies in the wandering, and strengthening themselves in the wandering.

The vast territory of China, the large number of people, and the villages gave the rebel army the conditions for the success of this tactic.

Now, Li Zixiao evacuated all the people in the Yiyang realm to the mountains, hid, and gave the rebels a strong wall to clear the wilderness.

After they entered the area controlled by the White Dragon Army, they could not rely on looting on the spot to get supplies replenished.

If, after clearing the wilderness, the distance from Song County to Yiyang is 100 miles, as long as the rebel army comes in, they will not get a grain of grain from the local area.

And with the food they brought with them, it is estimated that they will not last long.

Li Zixiao had already obtained information from Zhang Fugui, and after Li Zicheng conquered Song County, he copied less than 20,000 stone grain from those large landlords.

Two weeks have passed, and this batch of grain is estimated to have been almost consumed by Li Zicheng, and at the same time, the soldiers in his hands have also practiced, which can be used.

Therefore, Li Zicheng had the confidence to attack Ruzhou.

Li Zixiao didn't believe that Li Zicheng was only here for Yiyang this time, he was here for the entire Ruzhou, and as long as Yiyang was defeated, Ruzhou City would be at his fingertips.

…………………………………………

In the county seat of Song County, at this time, Li Zicheng had completed the convening of the army and was ready to go out at any time.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first, Li Zicheng also understood this truth, although in most cases, they did not need to bring food, anyway, they would grab it wherever they went.

But now it's different, Li Zicheng accepted Niu Jinxing's suggestion and stopped attacking ordinary poor people, which made his previous approach unworkable.

Therefore, before Li Zicheng sent troops this time, he must prepare a batch of grain and grass in advance in case he needs it from time to time.

"General, we only have less than 8,000 stone of grain left in our hands now, and we can only maintain the rations of the army for less than half a month, which is really inappropriate!"

Niu Jinxing said worriedly.

"The military advisor doesn't have to worry, half a month's ration can't be used at all, the military advisor looks, this king will be able to defeat Li Zixiao's Xuzhou army in less than two days and capture Yiyang.

Besides, we have bought 30,000 stone of grain from those merchants, and they will deliver it soon. ”

Li Zicheng is very confident and optimistic, and he doesn't seem to have Niu Jinxing's worries.

At this time, after half a month of training, the 50,000 army under his command was initially reborn, which made Li Zicheng even more proud.

Moreover, Li Zicheng also sent someone to inquire clearly, Li Zixiao's Xuzhou army is only five or six thousand people, in his opinion, even if Li Zixiao's White Dragon Army is strong, it can still fight ten at a time!

"King, are those merchants really reliable?"

At this time, Niu Jinxing seemed to have been persuaded by Li Zicheng, and he didn't believe that Li Zixiao's Xuzhou army could really defeat Li Zicheng's 50,000 army, but remembered another thing and said worriedly.

A week ago, Li Zicheng found a group of businessmen who dared to sell them grain through the channels he got from there, which made Li Zicheng very happy.

You must know that doing business with a rebel army like Li Zicheng at this time is simply collusion and rebellion, and you will be accused of rebellion.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, no businessman dares to do business with Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng has a large amount of silver in his hand, but he can never spend it, which makes Li Zicheng very depressed.

It wasn't until the appearance of these businessmen this time that the silver in Li Zicheng's hands finally had a place to use.

Although the price offered by these businessmen was ten times the normal grain price at this time, Li Zicheng still agreed to it.

And directly pay them a deposit of 100,000 taels each, so that after they bring the grain, they will directly pay the silver behind.

More importantly, Li Zicheng still has some understanding of the origins of these businessmen, and he is not worried that they dare to deceive him, otherwise when his army arrives in the future, he will inevitably take revenge on these businessmen.

Even, Li Zicheng also hoped to purchase weapons and ordnance through the hands of these businessmen, and he showed that he could buy them at a high price.

But this matter was too big, and those businessmen were not the big bosses behind them, so they didn't dare to agree.

But they still left a little thought for Li Zicheng, did not completely refuse, and went back to ask the master behind them for instructions.

In the face of huge profits, there is nothing that these businessmen dare not do, they dare to do it by collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, not to mention colluding with bandits and plotting rebellion!

"Don't worry, those people don't dare to lie to me, otherwise ......, hum!" Li Zicheng snorted coldly, the meaning was very clear.

When Niu Jinxing heard Li Zicheng say this, he knew that Li Zicheng had absolutely the bottom in his heart, so he stopped asking.

"The vanguard of the pure body has come out, you send someone to tell him, let him not be reckless first, his task is to explore the way for our army."

Subsequently, Li Zicheng said to Niu Jinxing again.

"Yes, I will send someone to inform General Liu later."

"Well, you go down, our army will leave tomorrow morning, and some trivial matters will bother the military division."
