"Second, the military advisor just said that the Tiger and Leopard Army stationed in Datong Prefecture is very powerful, and everyone carries several Tartars' lives. I think these things are blown by the imperial court."

"Think about it, there are thousands of people in the Tiger and Leopard Army... Let's calculate based on the one Tiger and Leopard Army destroying three Tartars. Wouldn't the thousands of Tiger and Leopard Army destroying one or two thousand Tartars?"

"There are only a few people in total in the Tartars. After being wiped out so many people by the Tiger and Leopard Army at one time, it would not be seriously injured..."

"So, I can say for sure that although I have never seen the Tiger and Leopard Army, this Tiger and Leopard Army is definitely not as powerful as we imagined..."

"So, military advisor, you are still too cautious. With the 10,000 elite troops we have drawn from the entire army, we will definitely be able to break through Datong Mansion and destroy this so-called Tiger and Leopard Army."

The general in the main position had just finished speaking, and a roar full of excitement rang in the lobby: "The general is right, break through Datong Mansion, destroy the Tiger and Leopard Army, and enter Beijing..."

After a roar full of excitement, the general directly looked at Zhou Yuhong, who was sitting directly opposite the military advisor and the number one general under the general, and asked Zhou Yuhong.

"Old Zhou, you know everything. This time I plan to let you take the lead and go to the battle. What are your specific ideas..."

It seemed that the decision of the Grandmaster had already been clear. After listening to the order, the expression on Zhou Yuhong's face did not change at all.

Under the gaze of the Grand Marshal, he replied calmly: "Mayor Xie trusts... I must go through fire and water to capture Datong Mansion for the Grand Marshal, destroy the Tiger and Leopard Army, and promote our army's power..."

"As for the specific idea... As far as I know, the tiger and leopard army is best at firearms. Our army also has its own firearm troops. Therefore, I plan to draw out the firearms and artillery battalions in the army to form a special army. As the vanguard of the entire army, I will first launch an attack on Datong Prefecture."

"As for the remaining eight thousand elites, I will be in charge of myself, following the vanguard troops and launching an attack on Datong Mansion. Once our anger troops break through the defense line of the official army, the entire army will cover up and kill. I believe that in close combat, no official army is the opponent of our brothers who have experienced many life and death under our command."

The coach nodded and affirmed: "This idea is very good... Let me add one more thing: Although the power of the firearms unit is very powerful, if it loses the protection of the infantry, with its slow shooting speed, it will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the cavalry. Therefore, in order to ensure that there is no accident, the vanguard unit should add a thousand swords and shield hands..."

"Because we don't know whether this Tiger and Leopard Army has large-scale cavalry. For safety, we must be prepared to remain unchanged..."

Zhou Yuhong replied with agreement: "Master-in-law is wise, I will do it according to the command of the commander-in-chief... and ensure that before the Datong Prefecture garrison completes its expansion and forms combat effectiveness, we will break through Datong Prefecture, destroy the Tiger and Leopard Army... and eat up the entire Datong Prefecture garrison."

Two days later, the mighty rebel attacking troops set out of the camp and advanced with high morale towards the direction where Datong Prefecture was located.

At this time, Wei Zheng, who was far away in Datong Prefecture, also learned about the rebels' troops through Zhou Chenguang...

After reading the information in his hand, Wei Zheng frowned and shouted at the guard at the door: "Immediately notify Lord Zhou, Lord Zhang, Lord Wang, Lord Zhao, and Li Daren from the prefectural office. Within an hour, he must come to my General Office. Immediately send my military order..."

"Dadada..." As soon as Wei Zheng's order was issued, several personal guards rode war horses and ran towards their respective garrisons and yamen on stone slabs.

In the lobby of the small General's Mansion, a few people who were talking about each other just now, saw Wei Zheng walking in, stopped discussing and turned their eyes to Wei Zheng with a calm face.

Facing the rebels getting closer and closer to Datong Prefecture, Wei Zheng did not hesitate much and said bluntly: "Everyone, everyone is so anxious, everyone calls me here, that is, the rebels are here..."

"This is the information sent back by President Zhou Qian of the scout camp. Everyone will take a look. After reading it, we will start to welcome the enemy, repel the rebels who dared to invade Datong Prefecture, and defend Datong Prefecture..."

After reading the information, two completely different expressions quickly appeared on several people's faces.

After only a trace of shock flashed across the faces of several people headed by Zhou Shuyuan, two hot gazes shot out of their eyes. It was as if the rebels about to attack Datong Prefecture were not armed to the enemy who could kill people, but prey sent to their mouths.

The faces of the prefect Li Wenxuan and the deputy general Zhang Wu showed completely opposite expressions, which were fear and worry...

In the lobby, Li Wenxuan, the prefect who was responsible for defending the territory, just finished reading the information and suggested to Wei Zheng with a worried look: "Sir, the rebels are coming fiercely, and all the ones dispatched are elite. The officials thought that we should immediately order all counties to close the city gates and defend strictly with the city walls..."

"The officials, gentry, landlords in each county must also move. Send all the servants and guards in their hands to the magistrates of each county to defend Datong Prefecture together..."

As soon as the prefect Li Wenxuan finished speaking, Deputy General Zhang Wu followed closely and added: "Sir, the last general also agreed with the prefect's opinion. In the face of the heavy invasion of the rebels, our best choice is to strictly guard against the enemy..."

"Otherwise, with the tens of thousands of garrisons that have just been expanded, on the field battlefield, even a rebel attack will be completely collapsed..."

Wei Zheng did not answer immediately, but turned his attention to Zhou Shuyuan and asked thoughtfully, "Master Zhou, what do you think?"

"One word, type..." Zhou Shuyuan said firmly.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Feng, who had been busy with the training of the Tiger and Leopard Army for the past period, yelled in a hurry: "Not only do you have to fight, but you also have to hit the head-on..."

"General, since this rebel army has sent three thousand firearm troops as the vanguard, he wants to open a gap in the defense line of our Datong Mansion. Then he will take the initiative to ask the general to lead the Tiger and Leopard Army Musketball Corps and Artillery Battalion to meet the enemy, give this rebel army a wake-up call and defeat their arrogance."

Zhao Yun followed closely and shouted: "Yes, you'll have to fight head-on. I don't believe that these rebels are even more powerful than the Tartars..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun's face showed a hint of dissatisfaction and said to Wang Feng: "Old Zhao, you are too unkind. Why do you go to meet the enemy? My cavalry regiment cannot go to meet the enemy..."

"As far as I know, although the rebel firearms are equipped with a large proportion of the grenade guns and artillery, these grenade guns and artillery are all old firearms. I can confidently say that under the attack of our cavalry regiment, the grenade gun in the hands of the rebels will lose its effect at most two rounds of lead bullets..."

"So, the last general also asked the Lord for his orders. If we want to attack the rebels head-on, we must not be missing our cavalry regiment..."

Seeing Wei Zheng was satisfied when he saw his subordinates who were eager to try, Li Wenxuan and Zhang Wu were full of worry.

Before Li Wenxuan and Zhang Wu spoke, Wei Zheng had already made a firm decision and said, "Just do it like this, the entire Tiger and Leopard Army will take the initiative to attack Datong Prefecture, fight this rebels and destroy their arrogance."

Seeing the quick expressions of speechlessness on Li Wenxuan and Zhang Wu's faces, Wei Zheng continued: "In addition to the Tiger and Leopard Army taking the initiative to fight, all the troops in Datong Prefecture garrisons also attacked. In addition, all civil servants above the seventh rank and above the Datong Prefecture garrisons must also attack with the troops in Datong Prefecture, because everyone is responsible for defending the territory. If this battle is defeated, then, including me, all civil servants and generals above the seventh rank and above the Datong Prefecture will be sent to the guillotine..."

"Yes, sir..." the two of them answered with embarrassment.

Seeing this, Wei Zheng quickly explained: "Of course, please pay one thing to pay Lord Li and Deputy General Zhang. When I arrived at the battlefield, I would never let the 10,000 troops in Datong Prefecture, which had just been expanded, go to die."

"As for the purpose of the Datong Prefecture garrison and all the adults' attacks, there is only one thing to say, that is, to watch the battle..."

"Look at how our Tiger and Leopard Army defeated the rebels on the field battlefield with lower forces than the rebels..."

"While our Tiger and Leopard Army takes the initiative to defeat the rebels and destroy the rebels' arrogance, we must also improve our morale against the rebels through this battle..."

On the official road fifty miles away from Datong Prefecture, more than 5,000 young and strong men who had just joined the Datong Prefecture garrison were under the command of hundreds of Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers, waving shovels in their hands naked and overhauling the fortifications.

As time passes by little by little, it can help the Tiger and Leopard Army block an earth wall with lead bullets, just like the Great Wall, crossing the official road that cannot be seen at first sight into two sections.

And at this moment, several tiger and leopard cavalry rushed over quickly.

After seeing Wei Zheng pointing behind the earthen wall, he jumped off his war horse.

Kneeling on the ground with one leg, saluted Wei Zheng, and reported loudly: "Sir, the latest enemy information notification..."

"The rebel vanguard's three thousand firearms unit is only ten miles away from the battlefield, and is rushing towards the battlefield at a rapid march speed. Please prepare early..."

Wei Zheng nodded, his calm face was quickly covered by seriousness, and ordered Wang Feng: "General Wang, I will leave this battle to you... Order the soldiers to enter the battlefield immediately, load the lead bullets and load the shells, prepare for the battle..."

"Caval regiment, no attack is prohibited without my order..."

Then, he turned his head and said to Li Wenxuan and others: "Mr. Li, Deputy General Zhang, the battle is about to begin. I order your troops and all of you to prepare for the battle and see how the Tiger and Leopard Army defeated the rebels."
