Please ask me to be the emperor

Although there is nothing surprising about encircling a point for reinforcements, after it was repeatedly used by our army in later generations, it became a famous "fixed formula" in the tactics.

Although Zhang Shun was uneducated and incompetent, he grew up under the red flag and had heard of many famous battle cases. Therefore, when he heard that reinforcements from officers and soldiers were coming, his first reaction was to "encircle the point and call for reinforcements."

This is the basic tactic used by teams with strong field capabilities to deal with teams with strong defensive capabilities. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties also used this method to deal with the Ming army many times.

But this time, for Zhang Shun, there was a difficulty with this strategy. That is, Zhang Shun did not have enough troops on hand. In order to prepare for Cao Wenzhao who might come from the north, he had to allocate a lot of troops to monitor and defend the north.

This resulted in Zhang Shun's actual military strength being basically the same as that of Deng Qi, Zuo Liangyu and others. Although Zhang Shun carefully designed and repeatedly attacked the enemy's morale and gained a field advantage, he still could not defeat the opponent.

If Zhang Shun divides his troops this time, both sides will be weaker than the enemy; if the whole army goes, the officers and soldiers will find it in time, and then follow them, attack from the front and back, and they will definitely overthrow the army and kill the general; if he ignores it, the officers and soldiers will have no choice but to attack. At the meeting point, the rebel army was weaker than the officers and soldiers, and it was inevitable to lose.

After much deliberation, Zhang Shun could only take a risk with the help of the rebel forces assembled by Chen Changzhen.

The plan was decided, Zhang Shun first pretended to be obsessed with women to attract everyone's attention, and then secretly led the cavalry at night to join Chen Changzhen in Lin County.

This is not because Zhang Shunxin did not trust the rebel leaders and did not tell them the truth. Rather, he was worried that because of his departure, they would scatter without a backbone, and all his plans would be in vain.

The last time Zhang Sanbai took command on his behalf, it was quite satisfactory, and he was not discovered by other rebel commanders. This time, Zhang Shun followed suit and ordered Zhang Sanbai to use his own banner to continue commanding the leaders of the rebels, while he looked for the slightest change and "surprise victory."

Because Wang Pu of the Jing camp carried Hongyi heavy artillery, his march was slow. After Zhang Shun arrived in Lin County to join Chen Changzhen, he had not yet arrived in Cizhou.

At this time, Zhang Shun planned to rush between Cizhou and Zhangde Fucheng to intercept the Beijing camp, but it was already too late.

Therefore, Zhang Shun simply rested for one night with Chen Changzhen in Lin County, and took the opportunity to learn about the quality of the rebel army gathered by Chen Changzhen.

As a result, Zhang Shun couldn't help but be disappointed after checking it out. These so-called rebels are all a mob. When the battle is going smoothly, they can shout and cheer; but if the momentum goes wrong, they will definitely disperse.

If Zhang Shun had mobilized elite troops for coordinated operations like Zhang Shun did in the rebel army, it would be too late now that time was running out. For a moment, Zhang Shun almost wanted to scold Chen Changzhen, why didn't he know how to make plans earlier. "If you don't have a choice of troops, you will go north." Do you still need to be taught this kind of thing by deploying elite troops to fight?

But what happened had already happened. Looking at Chen Changzhen's tired and haggard face, Zhang Shun really couldn't curse.

Since I became a sworn brother, these two sworn brothers can be used with a little peace of mind. Now that he can do this, it's pretty good. If it had been anyone else, they might have pulled together a team and taken the opportunity to stand on their own feet and form a new battalion.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun patted Chen Changzhen hard twice, looked into his eyes and said seriously: "Thank you, Brother Chen! Leave the rest to me, you did a great job!"

Chen Changzhen then smiled: My hard work was not in vain. It seems that I have helped my brother!

At this time, Zhang Shuncai asked Chen Changzheng to call other rebel commanders such as Hun Tianwang, Stealing Rizhao, Sleeping Tiger, Yidian Deng, Feitian Sheng and others, and said to them: "Thank you brothers and brothers for your righteousness and coming to help me defeat the enemy."

"In this battle, I am the first. All you need to do is cheer for us and loot. If things go wrong, we will inform everyone in time and we can all find a way to survive."

"If we are lucky enough to succeed, you can choose the armor and weapons of the officers and soldiers. We only want the horses and artillery."

When these people heard this, they couldn't help but feel happy: Where can they find such a good thing? They all responded quickly, showing their loyalty.

Zhang Shun's arrangements were well made. Chen Changzhen heard this clearly and quickly pulled him to a remote place and asked: "Master, if you treat them well now, how can you deal with the current officers and soldiers with only me and others? I have already found out that this time Wang Pu brought 6,000 troops from the capital camp and ten red barbarian cannons. With more than a thousand cavalry and more, how on earth can we deal with these many officers and soldiers?"

It's June and July, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. There has been little rain in recent days, and the sun is burning and painful.

Zhang Shun avoided the sun and said with a smile: "We may not be able to defeat the enemy, we can only depend on God's will! If God's destiny is on me, I will definitely win; if God's destiny is on the other side, I will have to look for another opportunity."

It is said that Wang Pu led 6,000 elite soldiers from the capital camp and ten red barbarian cannons to rest for one night in Zhangde Mansion and set out early the next morning.

Cizhou and Anyang County where Zhangde Prefecture is located, which they passed along the way, both have many mountains and hills.

Wang Pu was well aware of his heavy responsibility and was terrified along the way, fearing that "thieves and bandits" would emerge from the mountains and harass him and others.

Before he came, he had inquired carefully. Wu'an, Shexian and Linxian counties not far from here were all "dens of thieves". People who refused to accept Wang Hua gathered in Xiaoshan Forest to rob passing merchants.

Wang Pu was quite worried until they walked out of Anyang County and entered Tangyin County, a vast plain.

Wang Pu was as uneducated as Zhang Shun, and knew nothing about Tangyin County's thousand-year history. He only knew that this place was the hometown of Prince Yuewu Muyue.

In the Ming Dynasty, Prince Yue was also a Martial Saint. Ming Shenzong once canonized him as the Yuesheng Emperor and Guan Yu as the Guan Saint Emperor. The belief in the two Martial Saints emerged among the people.

When Wang Pu saw Tangyin County, he felt a little relieved, and secretly thought: I have been safe and sound along the way. I must go to Tangyin County to pay my respects to Prince Wu Shengyue!

Just when Wang Pugu thought of this, he heard the sound of a cannon and saw a group of men and horses coming out of the diagonal stab. He saw it as "Second Guan Gong" Chen Changzhen.

Wang Pu couldn't help but think: Could it be that my desire to worship Emperor Yue Sheng made Emperor Guan Sheng angry?

This guy couldn't see the truth and only thought that Chen Changzhen was the Guan Sheng Emperor, and his liver and gallbladder were immediately split.

When Chen Changzhen saw the team in front of him, he couldn't help but feel happy. Without saying much, he swung his sword and took the lead to kill Wang Pu's central army where the banner was.

It turned out that this Beijing camp was just as Zhang Shun expected. Coming from the north and south, it got hotter and hotter along the way, and he had long been unable to bear the sweltering heat. This cotton armor is made of thick cotton and is comparable to a cotton-padded jacket. It is June or July. Who can wear it while marching in Henan?

Zhang Shun fought with officers and soldiers many times, and each time he had to stand in front to wear armor, and then took it off after the war. Some people who are unlucky get "armor-removing wind" when the wind blows them because they take off their armor too quickly.

The Beijing camp was not equipped to fight, so naturally it had already taken off its armor and put it on the baggage cart.
