In the evening, dusk mist covers the world, and visibility suddenly becomes very low.

Under Kaifeng City, in the misty twilight, dozens of cavalry wearing Ming army robes were being chased by hundreds of migrant cavalrymen and fled quickly toward Kaifeng City.

"Open the city gate!"

"Open the city gate quickly. We are under the command of the model Jun Zhongyi Bo. If you have important matters, please report to Your Highness the King of Zhou!"

"Brothers from Kaifeng, help us stop these thieves!"

The defenders of Kaifeng City were suddenly in a state of turmoil, and I don’t know what happened.

They must not be able to stand by death and send arrows to drive away the pursuers of the migrant soldiers behind them, and at the same time, they quickly reported the news to the higher authorities.

Soon, King Zhu Gongye of Zhou, Gao Mingheng, Chen Yongfu, Huang Shu and others rushed to the top of the city.

The pursuers of the refugee army still did not disperse at this time, shouting loudly hundreds of steps away, very arrogant.

Zhu Gongye and others frowned.

After a moment, Zhu Gongzi said, "Everyone, how should we deal with this matter? Could it be that something happened to Zhuxian Town?"

Gao Mingheng hurriedly said, "No. I have been patrolling the city today, but I have not noticed that there is too much abnormality in the direction of Zhuxian Town, nor have I heard any sound."

Huang Shu suddenly sneered: "This matter is simple. Prince, can you ask Bei Zhi to ask a few questions?"

Zhu Gongye and others hurriedly made way out of their position, and Huang Shu shouted: "What's the matter with Bo Zhongyi looking for His Highness to the King of Zhou? Your Highness has come. You can say something now!"

The leader of the city, Qian, hurriedly said, "We must meet the prince to personally tell this matter, please open the city gate!"

Hearing that Mr. Qian’s official words clearly had some Shaanxi accent, Huang Shu couldn’t help but sneer even further, “The city gate has been blocked by countless sand and soil bags. If you want to come up, you can only use a basket to go up. Come on, put the basket.”

"yes."

Soon, there were a few baskets to put them down.

Mr. Qian looked at each other with the people around him, and immediately said at the top of his voice: "Sir, how should we deal with the war horses when we go up like this? Please open the city gate! My uncle has already developed a way to defeat the enemy, and he must talk to the prince in person."

On the top of the city, Zhu Gongzi and others had already understood what Huang Shu meant, and they were all a little scared.

Huang Shu sneered and said to Chen Yongfu: "Shishuai Chen, let's shoot the arrow!"

Chen Yongfu could not wait long ago, waved his hand and said, "Shot the arrow!"

"Swish!"

"Swoosh swish swish swish..."

In an instant, hundreds of feathered arrows fell from the sky and rushed straight to the city. In the blink of an eye, people shouted and roared, and many of them were shot, and several unlucky ones were shot directly into hedgehogs.

Qianhu, the leader, was very clever. Although he was hit by a few arrows, he had armor to protect him and did not hurt the vital points. He ran out of the range of the bow and arrow and cursed: "What are you going to do? Those who dare to kill our model army will not let you go!"

Huang Shu sneered and cursed: "Dog guy, go back and tell Li Zicheng that he wants to cheat his official city and let him be his dream of spring and autumn!"

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Qianhu looked at Huang Shu angrily, stopped fighting, and quickly retreated.

"Zhi Masao, he is so clever!"

Not far away, Liu Zongmin and more than 3,000 cavalrymen who had been hiding in the dusk mist, saw that things were not done, spat hard, stopped fighting, and quickly retreated.

He finally waited for several days, but this was the time to wait for such a good weather, but Kaifeng City was so alert.

Li Zicheng and the others were waiting a few miles away.

Seeing Liu Zongmin coming back so soon, there was no large-scale shouting of killing in front of him. He also knew that Liu Zongmin's plan had failed. He hurriedly stepped forward and comforted him with a smile: "Huang Hu, don't worry. Kaifeng City is already a frightened bird, and it must be difficult to cheat the city."

Liu Zongmin was not hit at all and said with a smile: "King of Breaking, it's okay. Ding Qirui and the Northwest Army will not be able to get through for a while. I feel that the time for the general attack is ripe!"

"oh?"

"Does Huanghu have a clever plan?"

Li Zicheng's keenness naturally felt this key point, and he was busy looking at Liu Zongmin with his energy.

...

Xu Changqing, Zuo Liangyu, Yang Wenyue and others did not know about the fraudulent surrender today.

Later, Ding Qirui replied, saying that he would accept Xu Changqing's plan and push the battle formation along the Shahe River Basin to protect the food and grass first.

This made Xu Changqing and others breathe a little relieved.

Ding Qirui takes into account the overall situation and understands the overall situation, which undoubtedly makes the next battle more confident.

In the current situation, it is impossible for the Ming army to take the initiative to attack. Who would be so stupid that they use their capital to chew tough problems?

Even if Xu Changqing and Zuo Liangyu already have a marriage connection, how can this kind of thing be true?

Not to mention that Zuo Liangyu is impossible to fight, even if he really wants to fight, Xu Changqing may have stopped him!

Although Zuo Liang's Jade Tribe has tens of thousands, only God knows the real combat power. Once he is defeated in the battle, he may not be able to turn the world back.

At this time, this situation was countless times better than in history. Xu Changqing didn't even expect this, especially the marriage of the Zuo family.

Now, I can only wait patiently to wait for when the refugees will attack!

...

To Xu Changqing's expectations, the refugee army did not launch too much offensive afterwards.

Not only did the offensive not launch a frontal attack, the harassment of Ding Qirui on the Western Front was also much lessened.

Ding Qirui didn't have that many problems at this time. He had been working hard to build new fortifications on the Western Front, and the main force had been pushed to 14 or 5 miles away from Zhuxian Town, which was a great progress.

As we dragged it, July was already in and the weather began to get hotter and hotter.

Xu Changqing's model army has always consumed groundwater and has comprehensive epidemic prevention measures, so there is no problem.

However, Zuo Liang's jade tribe is a little bad, and many people are a little unacceptable and start to have diarrhea.

Soon, it began to infect Yang Wenyue's troops, and more and more people had problems, even a bit similar to malaria, and people had already started to die.

This shocked Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing is very confident in the epidemic prevention work of the Model Army, but it is hard to say about Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue!

However, after the few people met, Xu Changqing suddenly realized something was wrong!

Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue have been leading troops for many years, so they naturally know the importance of military epidemic prevention work, especially in this kind of weather, even if it is not as scientific and rigorous as Xu Changqing, there are many disinfectants such as quicklime.

Even if a soldier drinks raw water, he will choose clean spring water.

But, for some reason, this disease began to spread in the army.

This made Xu Changqing's hair stand upside down!

Could it be that this is a biological and chemical war launched by the refugee army?

I hurriedly told Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue about this speculation and asked them to check the water source.

really.

Soon after, the news came back that the water source was tampered with, and some refugee soldiers plagued in!

This made the few people feel a little scared, and their hair is really standing upside down.

Fortunately, the source is found at this time and it is easier to deal with it. First protect the water source, then isolate the sick person, and let the military doctor do his best to help them treat them.

Even if it cannot be cured, it must not be thrown into the river and must be cremated as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the incident was discovered in time and was dealt with in a timely manner. The epidemic did not expand, only five or six people died and hundreds of people were isolated.

This also brought Xu Changqing's vigilance to the vagrant army to the peak.

These people can really do anything to win!

Unfortunately, the dominance of the war at this time was not in the hands of Xu Changqing, and Xu Changqing could only bear it temporarily.

Two more days later, the refugee army also discovered that their secret weapons seemed to have no effect and the official army did not collapse.

He had moved to the central tent of the refugee army ten miles north of Zhuxian Town. Listening to the report sent back by the spies, Liu Zongmin finally felt frustrated!

Unexpectedly, his exquisite layout was discovered by the Ming army again, and this person was his old rival Xu Changqing!

Seeing Liu Zongmin getting angry a little, Li Zicheng smiled and comforted: "Huang Hu, don't worry. You guys have almost raised these days. Since you can't stand the odds, then go ahead! At that time, our hundreds of thousands of troops will come out together, so what will these dog officials use to resist?"

Liu Zongmin also became excited again, and a cold smile appeared on his tough face: "King Chuang, don't worry, um, there is another way, tomorrow, just wait until the time is right, um, let's take Zuo Liangyu, a bastard!"

...

There is not much wind in midsummer.

However, there are plains around, and there will still be some wind at dawn.

Because of the terrain and landform, the wind often comes from the north.

The fourth day of the seventh month.

It was a little rain at night, which made the hot weather much cooler, which made all the people who had been in this kind of hot summer heat like a steamer very excited.

Finally, I can sleep peacefully and comfortably.

Xu Changqing was in a very good mood. In the evening, he had a very ritual candlelight dinner with Chuxue and Zuo Mengmei.

Unfortunately, that's all.
