After some greetings, Cao Huachun, who had something in his heart, asked directly: "As far as the miscellaneous family knows, tomorrow will be the day when the army will attack... In this case, the chief soldier did not prepare in the general soldier's mansion, but came to the miscellaneous house, and he didn't know what the chief soldier had to do, and he asked the chief soldier to run in person..."

"You should directly ask the guards to inform the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family will go to the General Soldier's Mansion to see you..."

Under the gaze of Cao Huachun's sharp eyes, Wei Zheng pretended to be flattered, and whispered a compliment: "Gonggong Cao is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and if you want to see me, the chief soldier, I want to see you, how can I let Gonggong Cao go to the general soldier's mansion to see me, I can't afford it..."

Wei Zheng, who has always been arrogant and looks down on himself as a eunuch in the prison army, must have something wrong with speaking so flatteringly at this moment. This is Cao Huachun's first thought after listening to Wei Zheng's words.

Then, with a hint of caution, he continued: "The chief soldier laughed....no matter how trusted by the emperor is, the miscellaneous family is also a eunuch with no duties and no powers....where can he compare to the chief soldier, even if the imperial court is a third-grade official, and he is a powerful general with heavy troops...."

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Wei Zheng to react, and asked bluntly: "I don't know the purpose of the general soldier's arrival?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled and replied: "Lord Supervisor, you were sent by the emperor, and for such a big matter as sending troops to rebels, of course, I dare to issue a military order only after discussing with you." Otherwise, the Lord of the Prison Army will go up one by one, and the court will not directly take off my official hat. ”

Cao Huachun nodded and said, "Since the chief soldier thinks so highly of the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family will not drag the chief soldier back." Besides, Lord Commander, your military talent is obvious to all in our Ming Dynasty. As long as you make a decision. The miscellaneous family will definitely agree....If the chief soldier has anything to say, just say it..."

After the last dismount. Wei Zheng was not surprised by Cao Huachun's answer that he could put down the shelf.

So, under Cao Huachun's gaze, Wei Zheng replied without the slightest hesitation: "Since Lord Prison said so, then I'm not welcome..."

"Although Datong Mansion has two troops, the Tiger and Leopard Army and the Datong Garrison, after all, the Datong Mansion Garrison has just been formed and has no combat effectiveness. In order to ensure the safety of Datong Mansion and our Datong City, I plan to draw 2,000 cavalry from the 10,000 Tiger and Leopard Army. 2,000 infantry, stay in Datong to ensure the safety of Datong and the surrounding counties..."

"So, this time, I plan to bring 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry..."

Only 6,000 cavalry mounted to attack the rebels who were defending more than 20,000 county seats... Hearing this decision, Cao Huachun's first thought was that this battle was very suspenseful.

However, he did not rush to deny it, but reminded thoughtfully: "Lord Commander, six thousand paces, will it be too little... After all. The total strength of the rebels occupying the two county towns of Huairen and Sanyin has reached 25,000. ”

Under Cao Huachun's gaze. A sigh full of helplessness quickly rushed into Wei Zheng's mouth.

Then, he replied to Cao Huachun: "Father-in-law Cao, I also want to bring more people....but, there are only so many of our troops, if we bring them all, what will happen to Datong City..."

"In order not to disobey Gonggong Cao and the imperial court military orders, I can only bite the bullet and lead six thousand cavalry to attack the rebels."

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng suddenly thought of something.

Facing Cao Huachun, he continued: "Of course, there is one thing to reassure Grandpa Cao, if the battlefield is lost, our Tiger and Leopard Army is not the opponent of the rebels. I will definitely lead the Haw Par Army to withdraw from the battlefield in time to avoid too many casualties of the Haw Par Army..."

Seeing Cao Huachun nodding with an approving face, Wei Zheng's words suddenly changed. After staring at Cao Huachun in front of him with a pair of eyes, he asked: "However, in order to ensure that the soldiers are not afraid of death and the enemy on the battlefield, I hope that Gonggong Cao can lead all the eunuchs of the prison army to the battlefield together and urge the soldiers to fight..."

Hearing this, Cao Huachun's suspicion of Wei Zheng's purpose from the beginning immediately became a fact...

Knowing that the battle in front of him with a huge disparity in strength was likely to end in the defeat of the Tiger and Par Army. However, the general guard in front of him repeatedly asked him to take all the eunuchs to the battlefield to supervise the army... This is not to push himself and the remaining eunuchs under his command into the fire pit together, and stage a murder with a knife again....

At this moment, the message from the army brought back by his subordinates suddenly appeared in Cao Huachun's mind.

Thinking about it again, I repeatedly asked myself to rush to the battlefield with the prison army as evidence. Cao Huachun's feelings about the rumors immediately changed from doubt to affirmation.

The smile on his face that looked at Wei Zheng also quickly disappeared.

In the face of death, he vetoed without thinking about it: "Lord Commander....going to the battlefield is the business of the soldiers, and we are just a bunch of powerless eunuchs, let us go to the battlefield, don't we let us go to death..."

"Does the chief soldier want to see us like the three eunuchs of the prison army more than half a month ago, killed by the rebels on the battlefield, and we can't even find the corpses?"

Under Cao Huachun's direct gaze, Wei Zheng pretended to have an embarrassed expression of being seen through his thoughts, and explained to Cao Huachun: "Gonggong Cao laughed....you are cronies sent by the emperor, and our Haw Par Army will protect your safety even if all of them die on the battlefield." ”

"As for the three eunuchs who died on the battlefield last time, they were all accidents, accidents...... I have already given an excerpt to the imperial court, and I ask the imperial court to commend the three eunuchs and reward them heavily..."

Cao Huachun waved his hand directly to stop Wei Zheng from continuing.

Under Wei Zheng's gaze, he said in a firm tone: "Since the war is the business of you generals, then we eunuchs will not go to the battlefield to interfere with you......Therefore, the miscellaneous family decided that all the prison troops should stay in Datong City, and wait for the chief soldier to defeat the rebels and send us good news... When the time comes, I will definitely report to the imperial court as soon as possible to report to the chief soldier..."

After performing in front of Cao Huachun for so long, after finally hearing the answer he wanted, a strange smile that no one knew quickly flashed away from Wei Zheng's face.

Then, under Cao Huachun's gaze, he decided in a firm tone: "Since Grandpa Cao has decided, then I will do what Grandpa Cao thinks... I personally commanded the 6,000-foot cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army to launch an attack on the rebels in Huairen County, and strive to recapture the two county towns of Huairen and Shanyin from the rebels..."

"Gonggong Cao, you will take all the prison troops to stay in Datong Mansion to ensure the safety of Datong Mansion...."

On a mountain beam about twenty miles away from Huairen County, five thousand rebel elites have used huge stones to build a stone wall with a height of more than three feet on this already very dangerous mountain beam. Prepare to use this stone wall to inflict unprecedented casualties on the Haw Par Army's attacking forces...

As for the commander of the rebel army, he took the senior generals of the army and climbed a hill about a mile away from the battlefield, watched the battlefield motionlessly, and quietly waited for the start of the attack of the Tiger and Par Army.

The 6,000-foot cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, personally commanded by Wei Zheng, formed six huge offensive phalanxes, standing motionless in the wilderness about a mile from the mountain beam.

Wei Zheng, who was surrounded by six phalanxes, was riding on a war horse, holding a monocular, and looked at the rebels who were constantly walking on the mountain beams without saying a word.

At this time, Wang Feng beside him spoke: "General, the rebels have a total of 5,000 people, not only equipped with muskets and artillery, but also have terrain advantages and a three-foot-high corpse wall. And we only sent a thousand musketeers, isn't it too little...."

Wei Zheng shook his head and replied: "We just have to make the impossible possible, so that the rebels watching the battle can fear us, and we have to cooperate with us..."

"As for whether a thousand musketeers can defeat the five thousand rebels in front of them, there is no doubt about it. Because, whether it is the muskets we are equipped with, or our soldiers, they far outnumber the rebels on the mountain beams. In addition, we are also equipped with grenades that the rebels do not have, in this case, if we can't capture the mountain beam, then our title of the Tiger and Leopard Army will be in vain. ”

Seeing that Wang Feng and Zhao Yun both nodded in approval, Wei Zheng changed his words and continued: "However, before the real attack, we must first visually put unprecedented pressure on the rebels..."

"As for this pressure, it depends on our cavalry troops...."

After speaking, Wei Zheng asked Zhao Yun directly: "General Zhao, how is it, are the cavalry ready..."

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and he replied loudly: "General, you can give an order, the cavalry brothers have already been ready, just waiting for your order......"

Wei Zheng nodded, and ordered decisively: "Okay... I command you to command 3,000 cavalry at once, show your sabers, and attack the mountain beams..."

"Feint with cavalry to attack the mountain beams..."

Hearing this order, Zhao Yun's first feeling was whether Wei Zheng's order had been given. Because, as long as you have a little military common sense, you know that there is no difference between a feint attack by cavalry and a death attempt.

Just when Zhao Yun's exclamation was just out and he was about to ask a question, Wei Zheng's voice had already sounded again: "What's the hurry, my military order hasn't finished yet..."

"Your attack is not really an attack, but a demonstration of your strength to the rebels. Therefore, the cavalry officers only need to rush to the foot of the mountain beam and then retreat. Of course, before retreating, you can also rain guns on the rebels... Although we can't kill them, we can give the rebels a demonstration before the attack and give them a hard blow to their morale..."

"Yes, General..."Faced with this order that there was no attack, although Zhao Yun was disappointed, he still led the order loudly. (To be continued......)
