Please ask me to be the emperor

Although Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, did not know what "mobile defense tactics" was, nor did he know that Meng Gong had the title of "master of mobile defense," it did not prevent him from using this tactic that was formed by a combination of circumstances.

In the next few days, the rebels repeatedly attacked Weichuan City and Fu Zonglong's camp outside Yuzhou City, while Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen also repeatedly traveled between Yuzhou and Weichuan.

The rebels became more and more experienced in defeating battles, and became more and more comfortable in the face of surprise attacks by officers, soldiers and cavalry.

The officers and soldiers went back and forth several times without success, and all the people and horses who were still running around were exhausted.

"Where are Runing's soldiers and horses?" Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, couldn't help asking repeatedly.

"Fu Jun, the eunuch Lu Jiude supervised the Sichuan troops and stayed in Xiping to prevent the thieves from entering Runing again and massacring the clan!" the staff responded quickly after hearing this.

"Luo Ju, the commander-in-chief of Sui Chen, and Ma Xu, the deputy commander-in-chief of Xuzhou, have passed through Yancheng and are heading to Linying, preparing to recapture Xuzhou!"

"Bang!" Fu Zonglong slammed the table angrily when he heard this, and asked: "Why so slow? The military situation is so fierce, how can they be allowed to be so slack. If the bandits are let go, can they afford it?"

"Fujun, except for Luo Ju, the commander-in-chief of Sui Chen, the other two battalions are not under the jurisdiction of the governor of Henan. It is inevitable that they will hesitate!" The staff on the left and right couldn't help but smile bitterly when they heard this.

How could Fu Zonglong not know? Although the military situation was urgent, no matter how furious he was, it would not help.

"Then let the thieves run rampant for a few more days. When the army of officers and soldiers arrives, I will make them look good!" Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, snorted coldly and couldn't help but say some cruel words.

Although the imperial court is not as helpful as in the past, it still has the resources and manpower of two capitals and thirteen provinces. How can the rebels who only occupy Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou Prefecture be able to consume it?

Fu Zonglong's idea is very simple. As long as the two sides engage in a war of attrition, regardless of victory or defeat, the rebels have already been defeated!

Fu Zonglong's thoughts were beautiful, but the reality was a bit unsightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone happened to make a "crash" sound, opened the curtain and rushed in, hurriedly reporting: "Report to the Fujun, a letter from the superintendent, the thieves have once again besieged Weichuan City!"

"What? It's endless, isn't it!" Fu Zonglong frowned and sighed for a while, "As usual, Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen will lead the Liaodong Cavalry to rescue!"

"Fu Jun!" Zuo Zuo was startled when he heard this, and quickly reminded him, "These two battalions are running back and forth, and the men and horses are tired. I'm afraid the horses have been damaged too much..."

"Got it!" Fu Zonglong interrupted his staff's suggestion and continued to order directly, "After they have defeated the thieves, they will rest in Weichuan City for two days and then support our army before it is too late!"

"Fu Jun?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Based on how difficult the thieves were, they were afraid that as soon as Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen's Second Battalion left, 'Li Thief', 'Chuang Thief' and 'Cao Thief' would come knocking on the door.

Fu Zonglong allowed Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen's second battalion to rest for two days, which was equivalent to allowing the officers and soldiers here to resist Li Xin, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai for three or four more days.

Fu Zonglong and Vice President Mou Wenshou have also experienced the fighting power of these "three thieves", and they cannot defeat them at all.

Although it is said that with the help of camp defense, there is nothing you can do for a while without officers and soldiers, but the risks involved are hard to say.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected!

"Stop talking, I have made up my mind!" Fu Zonglong waved his hand and said righteously.

Do you think Henan Governor Fu Zonglong is willing to take this risk? This is not impossible. Other reinforcements have not arrived, and Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transportation and governor of Fengyang, only has more than a thousand troops in his hands.

As the governor of Henan, if he could not lead by example, how could he be worthy of the visiting army Zhu Dadian?

After thinking about it, if he doesn't take the risk, who can?

Nazu Kuan and Li Chongzhen received the order and almost killed the soldiers who sent the order on the spot.

Although they are called "Liaodong Iron Cavalry", they are actually neither Liaodong nor Iron Cavalry.

At this time, the Liaodong Town of the Ming Dynasty was also completely lost, leaving only a few important nodes such as Jinzhou, Guangning, and Shanhaiguan, and even core cities such as Kaiyuan, Shenyang, and Liaoyang were completely lost.

As for the cavalry, there is no way to talk about it, although it is said that in addition to the knights' armor, the Liaodong cavalry also has horse armor to some extent.

However, when they fought against the Jurchens, they often ran away from the enemy and betrayed their teammates, showing no iron-blooded spirit at all.

The only thing related to these four words is probably the word "riding".

Nazu Kuan and Li Chongzhen came to the interior to bully the weak peasant army, not to endure hardships.

As a result, Fu Zonglong's men were tossed back and forth in the past few days, and the soldiers had many complaints. Nazu Kuan and Li Chongzhen became increasingly dissatisfied.

"Two... two generals, please calm down. Master Fu has given an order that as long as we provide assistance this time, you will be allowed to enter Weichuan City to rest for two days before returning to the camp!" When the messenger saw this, his liver and gallbladder were split and he stammered. He said the rest of Fu Zonglong's orders together.

"Two days?" Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen couldn't help but look at each other. They only have two days, how can they be enough?

Since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless. Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen laughed secretly in their hearts and said: When we enter the city, how many days will we rest if you say we will rest for a few days?

These days, the soldiers are all stationed in the camp outside the city. It is estimated that many brothers are going to be depressed. I'm afraid you won't be able to help me!

The two sneered twice before taking the order. Sure enough, as soon as the Liaodong Cavalry left with its front legs, Li Xin, Li Zicheng, and Luo Rucai rushed out from behind.

Fu Zonglong had not ordered Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen to "turn back the enemy" before and give them a look.

However, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai had a lot of cavalry under their command, which could easily cover the battlefield. As a result, the officers and soldiers had little success, so they gave up this tactic.

After Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen left the officers and soldiers camp outside Yuzhou City, they ran eastward as usual.

Although the cavalry under his command are all exhausted, who is not exhausted?

They are cavalry, so it is better to have mounts for transportation. Most of the rebel troops are infantry, and they need to fight in formation.

They often held up their guns and lined up their shields for half a day. They were not allowed to change their formation easily, and there was no cavalry attack. You can imagine how tired they were.

"Quick fight!" Zu Kuan turned to Li Chongzhen and said.

Li Chongzhen was convinced, nodded and said with a smile: "They are just a few thieves, deal with them as soon as possible and enter the city to rest early!"

When it got dark, Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen led the Liaodong cavalry to the outside of Weichuan City.

The scout looked from a distance and saw two battalions of thieves lined up in a dense formation, waiting outside the city.

"Not leaving?" Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen had a bad feeling.

"Why don't we go into the city to rest for the time being and wait until tomorrow to discuss it again!" Li Chongzhen hesitated.

"Absolutely not!" Zu Kuan, as a veteran who started out as a soldier, certainly knew that the officers and soldiers were feeling a little uncomfortable now, but if they entered the city, things would probably get even worse.

"If the thieves take the opportunity to block the four gates, we will be trapped in the city even though we have cavalry!"
