The 20,000 cavalry led by Sun Chuanting and Zuo Liangyu finally met the scouts sent by He Renlong when they passed through Xuzhou and approached the county seat of Weishi.

In the process of marching, Sun Chuanting was extremely worried, if the 20,000 soldiers under He Renlong's command were not able to reach Zhuxian Town before the Liukou, then the only option was to arrive at Kaifeng Mansion quickly, which would make He Renlong extremely passive, after all, there were nearly 200,000 Liukou under Li Zicheng, and the task of rushing to the aid of Kaifeng Mansion was undertaken by him Sun Chuanting.

Seeing the scouts sent by He Renlong, Sun Chuanting finally breathed a sigh of relief, He Renlong arrived in Zhuxian Town ahead of schedule, and built defensive fortifications in Zhuxian Town to prevent Li Zicheng from marching towards Kaifeng Fucheng.

However, a greater worry immediately appeared, He Renlong only had 20,000 soldiers under his command, how could he resist the attack of nearly 200,000 rogues, in case Li Zicheng was a heart, and launched a fierce battle in Zhuxian Town, He Renlong was not in great danger, this battle in Zhuxian Town, except for his Sun Chuanting, He Renlong could not get any support, and the soldiers stationed in Kaifeng Mansion could not be dispatched, and the army in the rest of the places was not dispatched.

After inquiring about the situation in detail, Sun Chuanting ordered the army to speed up the march again, and arrived at Zhuxian Town in the shortest possible time, of course, Sun Chuanting also knew that the Liukou was divided into two roads, the front army was responsible for attacking the imperial army of Zhuxian Town, and the Chinese army was followed by the reinforcement, which also meant that Sun Chuanting must break through the encirclement of the 100,000 Chinese army of the Liukou, kill a bloody road, and arrive at Zhuxian Town as soon as possible.

Sun Chuanting verbally informed the scout of his intentions, but did not write a letter, after all, the scout was in danger all the time, and if the letter fell into the hands of the rogue, it would be a bad thing.

Watching the scouts leave. Sun Chuanting and Zuo Liangyu briefly discussed and asked the waiting army to continue advancing.

At the same time, Sun Chuanting also sent scouts to focus on investigating the situation in Wei's county town to see what the situation of the rogues stationed outside the county town was, and how the 20,000 army should break through the encirclement of 100,000 rogues.

He Renlong was caught in a dilemma.

The scouts have been scouted. The Liukou were divided into two parts, one part was stationed at the front of the position, ready to fight at any time, and the other part followed the right flank of the official road, bypassing the defensive position and quickly heading towards the city of Kaifeng.

Continuing to stick to Zhuxian Town has lost its meaning, and following the Liukou to fight is also an act of self-destruction. You must know that there are still rogue soldiers in front of him, and if there is any abnormal movement of the 20,000 soldiers, they will quickly kill them, and when the time comes, the two rogues in front and back will attack, even if He Renlong has the ability to reach the sky, he will not be able to save the 20,000 soldiers who are surrounded.

Seeing the Liukou attacking Kaifeng Fucheng, this is even more impossible, once Kaifeng Fucheng is taken by Liukou. He, the chief soldier of Henan, was exiled at the least. If it's heavy, you lose your head.

If there is no reinforcement army, there is a dead end in front of you, and there is no way to solve it.

Li Zicheng is indeed powerful, every step he takes has been carefully considered, and he has poked at He Renlong's sore spot. Let it be in a dilemma.

He Renlong knew that the only thing he could do was to lead the army to kill the Liukou who were heading towards Kaifeng Fucheng, which was likely to wipe out the 20,000-strong army, but if he didn't. I'm afraid the ending will be even worse.

Knowing that it is the end of annihilation, but also to make such a choice, for a general who has been fighting for a long time, it is even more uncomfortable than killing himself, the only hope in He Renlong's heart is pinned on Sun Chuanting's body, if the reinforcements led by Sun Chuanting are about to arrive in Zhuxian Town, then he can kill the rogue behind him without hesitation, even if the rogue on the opposite side is swarming, it will be chased and killed by the army behind him, which will form a dog-tooth battle situation, and then it will depend on who is more brave, And this aspect is precisely the advantage that He Renlong has.

The scouts have been sent out for several days, and there are a lot of scouts sent out, according to the time, there should be news, unless Sun Chuanting stays in Yunyang and has no action.

Just when He Renlong didn't know how to decide, the scout returned.

The news brought by the scouts made He Renlong ecstatic, you must know that the Liukou stationed outside the county seat of Weishi had bypassed Zhuxian Town and went towards Kaifeng Mansion from the direction of the right flank, which indicated that the army led by Sun Chuanting would not be blocked by the Liukou and could go directly to Zhuxian Town.

He Renlong's previous idea was to lead the army, regardless of the danger to pursue the Liukou, at least so that the Liukou could not attack Kaifeng Mansion with peace of mind, it should be said that there were about 20,000 soldiers in Kaifeng Mansion City, under the leadership of the governor Wu Fu, with a strong city wall, to be able to hold out for a period of time, when he learned that Sun Chuanting had led a large army to reinforcements, He Renlong changed his mind, Liukou bypassed Zhuxian Town, went to attack Kaifeng Fucheng, he could not take care of it for the time being, and Sun Chuanting united, Defeat the rogues who stayed in Zhuxian Town, and even exterminate the rogues along the way, and then the two armies will reconcile, and rush to Kaifeng Mansion to help Lord Wu Fu.

Under the flanking attack before and after, it will definitely be difficult for the Liukou to hold on, and only by eliminating this group of worries, the two armies can go to Kaifeng Fucheng with confidence, otherwise the army and the Liukou are in a state of staggered teeth, and the situation of fighting is difficult to control.

After making a quick decision, He Renlong ordered another scout to immediately report the specific situation of Zhuxian Town to Sun Chuanting, who was about to arrive in Zhuxian Town, and at the same time report his own plans to Sun Chuanting, as long as the two armies really achieved joint operations and flanked Liukou before and after, then they would definitely be able to achieve the final victory in the battle of Zhuxian Town.

As long as the living force of the rogues can be eliminated, it will also be a great victory.

After thinking about it carefully, He Renlong asked the strategists around him to write a simple letter, mainly because this joint operation is too critical, if the scout sees Lord Sun Chuanting, it will be troublesome if he can't say it clearly, not to mention the delay of the fighter, and it may cause devastating consequences.

When Li Zicheng led most of the rebel army, bypassing the official road, and advancing in the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng from the right flank, Liu Zongmin paid special attention to the situation of the official army opposite, and the scouts he sent were not only observed from the front, but also from the flank to investigate, according to Li Zicheng and Gu Junen's estimates, once He Renlong found that the rebel army had bypassed Zhuxian Town and went in the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng, it would be difficult for He Renlong to hold on, after all, guarding Zhuxian Town had lost its meaning.

More than a day passed, and the 150,000 army marched day and night, completely leaving Zhuxian Town.

But the officers and troops on the opposite side did not make any moves, which made Liu Zongmin also feel strange, he originally wanted to take the initiative to attack, at this moment He Renlong's heart must be very anxious, taking advantage of this time to attack, at least to ensure that he does not fail, but after thinking about it again, Liu Zongmin still gave up the consideration of taking the initiative to attack, after all, He Renlong is unusually brave, and the initiative to attack is likely to cause major losses, and the nearly 30,000 righteous troops he led are all elite, it is better to wait until He Renlong is difficult to insist, Or when he took the initiative to evacuate Zhuxian Town, he started a fight.

A strange situation appeared, the two armies facing each other in Zhuxian Town had no movement, and in the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng, an alarm had been heard, and some of the rogues had arrived at the outskirts of Kaifeng Fucheng, and Kaifeng Fucheng had entered a state of full alert, and all the city gates were closed.

When the scout brought the news, Liu Zongmin was not in a hurry, as long as He Renlong could bear it, he didn't care, anyway, he was wasting time in Zhuxian Town, and when the news of King Chuang taking Kaifeng Mansion City came, it was impossible for He Renlong to continue to insist.

However, Liu Zongmin soon lost his composure.

When Li Zicheng and Gu Junen left, they specifically instructed Liu Zongmin to pay close attention to the movements in the direction of Weishi County and Xuzhou, to see if there were any reinforcements of the officers and troops, if there were a large number of reinforcements of the officers and troops, on the one hand, they should report quickly, and on the other hand, they should lead the righteous army to evacuate Zhuxian Town as soon as possible to avoid encountering the front and rear attacks of the officers and troops.

The scouts dispatched by Liu Zongmin really detected that there was something unusual in the direction of Wei's county seat.

The scouts have not yet detected accurate information, but they have found scouts sent by the official army on the official road, and there are quite a few of them.

This made Liu Zongmin quickly alert, it is said that He Renlong is unlikely to send a large number of scouts to Weishi County to investigate at this time, there is no need to do that, the biggest possibility is the scouts sent by the reinforced officers and soldiers, which shows that the reinforced officers and soldiers are not very far from the Weishi County.

According to the arrangement of Li Zicheng and Gu Junen, Liu Zongmin should lead the rebel army to quickly evacuate Zhuxian Town at this time and go in the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng.

However, Liu Zongmin did not make the decision to evacuate immediately, the battle that had just arrived in Zhuxian Town left a shadow in his heart, it was an unconvincing defeat, if there was a chance, Liu Zongmin wanted to fight with He Renlong.

Liu Zongmin also locked himself in the tent of the Chinese army and carefully analyzed the map.

The county seat of Weishi is about more than 70 miles away from Zhuxian, according to the speed of the official army, it will take at least half a day to a day, and the scouts are close to the county seat of Weishi, and what is found is only scouts, which shows that the official army is still a certain distance from the county seat of Wei, so that the official army really arrived in Zhuxian Town, it may take more than a day or so.

Liu Zongmin had long thought about attacking the official army on the opposite side, and the arrival of reinforcements made him make up his mind, even if he evacuated Zhuxian Town, he had to fight well with the official army, and then evacuated generously, and the righteous army would meet outside the Kaifeng Mansion City, and wait until the righteous army really took Kaifeng Mansion City, and it was not impossible to turn around and fight with the official army on a large scale.

With this in mind, Liu Zongmin quickly began to deploy, and he decided to launch a large-scale offensive the next day. (To be continued......)
