"What? Ruzhou Zhizhou refuses to open the city gate? Damn, the old men came all the way to rescue them, and you didn't even open the city gates. ”

At this time, less than five miles away from Ruzhou City, the large army of the White Dragon Army was slowly advancing, and it was really that the White Dragon Army had too much baggage, which made their march a little slow.

This is still there, Li Zixiao spent a lot of silver to equip a large number of donkeys and mules for the White Dragon Army's baggage camp, and also got the four-wheeled carriage in the west.

These measures can be regarded as greatly enhancing the transportation capacity of the White Dragon Army, so that their marching degree has not become too slow.

But when Han Tong returned, he told Li Zixiao that Xu Taixin, the governor of Ruzhou, refused to open the door in the middle of the night and let them enter the city, Li Zixiao was very angry after hearing this.

"Xu Zhizhou said that it is too dangerous to enter the city at night, and I hope we can wait until the day to enter the city." Han Tong smiled bitterly and said.

"I didn't expect this Xu Zhizhou to be quite cautious, no wonder he can defend Ruzhou City."

Li Zixiao's face is not very good-looking, but he still appreciates this Xu Taixin a little.

"Hmph, I don't think he knows how to lift." Luo on the side snorted very dissatisfied.

"Okay, it's useless to talk about this now, since this Xu Zhizhou doesn't let us enter the city at night, then we won't enter, it just so happens that I have a new battle plan in my heart."

Li Zixiao thought of something, and he was not so annoyed, and said.

"General, are we going to camp outside the city tonight?" Law asked.

"No, we won't camp, let's continue westward, let's go to Yiyang." Li Zixiao said with a mysterious smile on his face.

"General, do you want to take the initiative to attack Yiyang, no, our team still doesn't know enough about the situation in Yiyang, and an accident may happen if you attack rashly."

Xu Wei, who was steady on the side, stood up and said.

"General Xu, don't worry, I won't make this kind of mistake yet, I don't plan to attack Yiyang, instead of attacking Yiyang, it's best to defeat the field thieves in the field.

As long as the field thief is defeated by us in the field, no matter how many bandits he has, most of them will be scattered by then.

With those recruits who were temporarily recruited by them, once they were defeated, it would be a fool's dream to gather them again. ”

Li Zixiao said with a sneer.

"So, is the general planning to find an opportunity to set up an ambush on the way and ambush them when the thieves come to attack Ruzhou City next time?"

After hearing Xu Wei's words, Li Zixiao looked at him and said with a smile: "Old General Xu is really powerful, and he can see my intentions at a glance."

That's right, I'm going to find a suitable place to ambush the thieves.

According to the information sent back by Zhang Fugui, Tian Jianxiu was around Yiyang at this time, searching for food everywhere, and most likely would soon come to attack Ruzhou again.

Let's just come to a 'wait for work', wait for him halfway first, and when Tian Jianxiu comes again with the troops, let's let them see how powerful our White Dragon Army is. ”

The general's idea is okay, at this time the field thief is at his most arrogant, he would never have imagined that anyone would dare to ambush him halfway.

Moreover, with so many muskets, artillery, and ambushes in our hands at this time, even if the other side is numerous, our chances of victory are still very great. ”

After listening to Li Zixiao's words, Xu Wei on the side also nodded slightly after thinking about it, indicating that this plan was feasible.

"Okay, in that case, let's bypass Ruzhou City and head towards Yiyang.

Han Tong, you take the scout team to explore the way, find a suitable place for us to ambush, and if you encounter the scouts of the rebellious army, kill them all, and don't let Tian Jianxiu know our news. ”

Li Zixiao was also determined, and immediately ordered to everyone.

"Yes, General." Han Tong left with the scout.

And Li Zixiao led the White Dragon Army to bypass Ruzhou City overnight and continue to advance westward.

At this time, the White Dragon Army had been marching for two days and nights, and it was actually very tired.

But the White Dragon Army not only has strict military discipline, but also has a strong ability to endure hardships, after all, most of the White Dragon soldiers are from poor people's families.

Now that Li Zixiao ordered to continue to advance westward, everyone in the entire White Dragon Army complained, spared a circle under Ruzhou City, and headed westward.

A day later, Li Zixiao stood on the slope of a hill called Baixi Slope, looking out at the surrounding scene, which was what Han Tong thought was a better ambush site.

It is located next to the official road from Yiyang to Ruzhou, which is the only way to Ruzhou, and the slope of Baixi is not high, with an altitude of three or four hundred meters, and there are two rivers on the other side.

"It's not a good place to ambush!" Li Zixiao looked at the surrounding terrain and spoke.

"General, from Yiyang to Ruzhou, this is still suitable for us to ambush. To the west is a flat area, and to the east there are a few good places.

However, it was too close to Yiyang, and the rebellious armies were frequent, so it was no problem for a small group of people to approach.

But when such a large army of ours approaches, I am afraid that it will be noticed by Yiyang's field thieves. ”

Han Tong stood next to Li Zixiao and said.

"Well, what you said makes sense, since that's the case, then choose this place, and order the baggage battalion to dig a trench on this hillside as quickly as possible.

Pay attention to concealment, don't be easily revealed. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it." Dong Zhuang, who was in charge of the baggage camp, immediately responded.

"Quartz, send someone to Zhang Fugui and ask him to find out how to find out if there are any signs of the thieves attacking Ruzhou City again in the next few days, but don't let us prepare for it in vain."

"Yes."

As Li Zixiao's order was issued, thousands of White Dragon troops started to build fortifications around this hillside.

In particular, at this time, an engineer team belonging to the baggage battalion of the White Dragon Army, one by one, sturdy sappers, were holding high their heads, shovels and other tools, digging trenches on the hillside.

At this time, in the White Dragon Army, with Li Zixiao vigorously equipping artillery and having flint guns, Li Zixiao has a new change in the future war style of the White Dragon Army.

Because, with powerful and fast-shooting artillery, as well as flint guns, the White Dragon Army actually has a trace of the prototype of the army of later generations.

And Li Zixiao's style of play will also be a combination of cold weapons and hot weapons, with firearms as the attack and cold weapons as the defense, which is the main core of the Li style of warfare.

"Drive, General Qiyu, seven miles to the south, there is a rebellious army of about 1,000 people, they are burning in a village fort, General Qi, ask for instructions, whether to kill this rebellious army."

A scout came to Li Zixiao at this time and dismounted to report.

"Let Qi Wei not act rashly, let go of this chaotic army, once he eats this chaotic army of thousands of people, it will inevitably startle the snake, and make Tian Jianxiu of Yiyang City vigilant.

This will affect our ambush plan, tell Qi Wei that you are not allowed to fight, just monitor this chaotic army, but be careful not to be revealed by the other party.

If the other party will come towards us later, then eat them, don't let one go, and never let our side be exposed. ”

Li Zixiao's eyes were cold, and he said coldly.

"Yes, General." The scout rode away.

Li Zixiao was only standing on a hill with Quartz at this time, when suddenly Li Zixiao turned his head and asked Quartz: "Stone, do you say that I am getting more and more cold-blooded." ”

When Li Zixiao heard the scout's return just now, the first thing he thought of was not the life or death of the people in the village and fort that were attacked by the chaotic army.

But it couldn't affect his preparation for this battle, so he didn't hesitate to give that order to the scout.

If this had been two years ago, when Li Zixiao heard the news, he would have been absolutely indignant at the first time, angry at the brutality of these chaotic troops.

But now, after Li Zixiao heard this, he didn't have much turmoil in his heart, and the life and death of the people in a mere village and castle could no longer shake his cold heart.

"How can the general think like this, the general's heart is not cold.

I don't know much about the big truth, I only know, the general, you can't help it, how can we save all the people who are suffering all over the world.

But I know that as long as one day you sit on the throne, the people of the whole world will not have to suffer anymore, and this is the most important thing. ”

Quartz urn said.

Among all the generals of the White Dragon Army, only Quartz is the one who most agrees with Li Zixiao's ascension to the throne as emperor.

After listening to Quartz's words, Li Zixiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was so powerful, in the end, his heart still became cold, after all, he had seen too many deaths in the past two years.

Even, the so-called death at this time, in Li Zixiao's eyes, is just a string of numbers reported by his subordinates, and he attaches more importance to the protection of his own interests.

But Quartz's words also woke up Li Zixiao.

That's right, he can't be a savior, there are too many suffering people in the world, even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't come over.

But he has the ability to change all this, as long as he is allowed to quell the rebellion internally, destroy the Tartars externally, and unify China, he will have the confidence to change the current miserable situation in China.

Let the Chinese people no longer live the days of starvation, lack of food, lack of warm clothing, and tragic death on the streets, and all of this requires him to complete the great cause of reunification.

"Yes, you are right, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and sacrifice a few people today in order to have more people in the future.

Although no matter how this sounds, it seems like a defense for myself, but I, Li Zixiao, swear that I will definitely do it. ”

At this moment, Li Zixiao's eyes flashed with dazzling light, making it impossible to look directly, and then strode away.

Soon, the scouts reported that the rebel army, having sacked the village fort, had marched westward, not coming towards them.

Qi Wei strictly abided by Li Zixiao's order, did not attack, and let the chaotic army leave.

And the looted village fort, the entire more than 100 households, all of them were killed, none of them were spared, the worst thing was those women, who suffered a lot before they died.

In this regard, Li Zixiao could only sigh deeply: "I hope that you will be reincarnated in the next life, and you will be able to reincarnate in a peaceful and prosperous world, instead of such a troubled era."

People in troubled times are not as good as dogs, this is true! ”

Half a day later, the sappers of the White Dragon Army's baggage battalion dug out several trenches on this hillside, and then the artillerymen needed to choose a suitable place as a gun position.

These are all necessary tasks before the ambush, and Li Zixiao has already taught them to his generals in an exercise conducted by the White Dragon Army.

To be honest, at this time in the White Dragon Army, many generals of the White Dragon Army actually don't understand Li Zixiao's different tactics from the past.

But generals like Qi Wei and Luo who have read military books can quickly understand the horror of Li Zixiao's style of play.

Whether it is the 'three-stage attack' of Li Zixiao's platoon shooting, or the 'three-person attack' of defending the city, or this kind of ambush digging trenches, etc., they have all been tested in actual combat and proved to be very feasible.

For Li Zixiao's avant-garde play, the generals of the White Dragon Army have been studying it and calling it a 'Li-style tactic'.

Perhaps, a hundred years later, the descendants of China will list Li Zixiao as the pioneer of modern warfare, and maybe it's not true!

Soon, Li Zixiao also received information sent back by Zhang Fugui, confirming that Tian Jianxiu in Yiyang had scavenged enough food.

Moreover, Tian Jianxiu recruited a lot of soldiers, which increased the number of troops in his hands a lot, the specific number is unknown, but it is estimated that at this time, Tian Jianxiu's men and horses have exceeded 30,000.

Of course, it is really unknown how many elites can really go into battle to kill the enemy.

There is a small number of people in this team that is under the direct command of Tian Jianxiu, but it has attracted Zhang Fugui's attention.

In the intelligence, Zhang Fugui told Li Zixiao that Tian Jianxiu took this group of men and horses to defeat Yiyang when he first arrived in Ruzhou.

Most of this team is the elite people that Li Zicheng gave to Tian Jianxiu, which should not be underestimated.

At the same time, Zhang Fugui also clearly informed that Tian Jianxiu was very anxious to send troops to attack Ruzhou again, and he was eager to take Ruzhou immediately.

Because, Tian Jianxiu's subordinates do not have much food, and if they can't take Ruzhou City for a long time, they will soon face the point of having no food to eat.

Only by laying down Ruzhou City and obtaining money and food in Ruzhou City is the only way out for Tian Jianxiu.

Now, Tian Jianxiu is already in Yiyang City, and has recalled all the rebel troops who are looting outside, and it is expected to come out at noon tomorrow.

However, the marching degree of these guys is really not flattering, and the slowness is terrifying, and it may not be until at least the afternoon of the day after tomorrow that they will arrive at the ambush site of Baixipo.

"Okay, as I expected, Tian Jianxiu, the old thief, is in a hurry to take down Ruzhou City, so that we are all ready and only owe Dongfeng.

Tian Jianxiu, Ben will already open the net, just waiting for you to vote, don't let me wait too much, go quickly. ”

Li Zixiao tore up the note that Zhang Fugui had passed on the information, with a smile on his face, he was in a good mood, and said in a low voice.

And in Yiyang City, the next day, the grain that Tami Hidemi looted was still far from the 30,000 stone he requested, although there was still a big gap.

But it was still enough for his army of 30,000 for more than half a month, and he expected it to be enough for him to take Ruzhou City this time, and most of his men outside also returned with troops.

Tian Jianxiu immediately ordered the whole army to march and attack Ruzhou City again.
