As soon as they returned to the camp, Zhang Ping'an immediately ordered the carpenters in the camp to make a wooden board. At the same time, they ordered the Xu brothers to start mixing mud in the tent. After a short time, a battlefield sand table was ready.

Zhang Ping'an cleaned his hands and said, "Call all the old brothers in! Also call the brothers who performed well this time! Deyin, call Long Xiucai, and ask the eldest sister of the Wang family to bring the rice and milk tea!"

Soon, Zhang Ping'an's main tent was filled with people, and Zhang Ping'an cleared his throat: "According to the information of the Tartars, there were fifty Mongolian Tartars the day after tomorrow, escorting 600 Ming escaped slaves here! I am determined! Use the method of fighting against the rabbit to quickly resolve the battle! I order Wu Tianxing!"

Seeing that Wu Tianxing was not very responsive; Zhang Ping'an smiled bitterly: It's not possible if he had not received military education! So he said, "I won't assign combat tasks first, I will talk about the rules first. Long Xiucai records! When the main officer of the battlefield assigned tasks, everyone should stand up immediately, and the main officer asked everyone to sit, and everyone sat down again; the same must be true in the wild; when the main officer assigned tasks, the person who called must immediately get up and stand attentively and answered! After the main officer assigned tasks, he understood and replied: Yes! Only at the command of the main officer can you sit or rest a little!"

Zhang Ping'an then signaled how to stand attentively, rest, salute, stand, and march. Seeing everyone staring at him in amazement, Zhang Ping'an said proudly: "When this battle is over, I will write a regulation. After teaching you, you will teach your subordinates again! Okay! Listen to my command: Everyone has it! Stand up! Stand up! Salute!"

Zhang Ping'an saw that although it was not very standard, everyone was very serious. Even the older sisters who had just come in to deliver the meal were very serious. Zhang Ping'an didn't expect that the most serious one was Long Xiucai! So he nodded with satisfaction: "When everyone is fine, practice more! If we want to abandon the late aura of the Ming Dynasty's official army, we must have something new! On the battlefield, we will not kneel down and bow down! I will start to assign tasks! Wu Tianxing!"

"Come!" Wu Tianxing was very excited. He was the first to receive the task. Seeing everyone's envious eyes, Wu Tianxing enjoyed it very much.

"Your task is very heavy! First, I ask you to arrange all the carpenters in the camp to make as many wooden shields as possible! Second, you have to be three hundred dummies. Third, the day after tomorrow you will lead the camp, all the people who have not fought, including women, are here!"

Zhang Ping'an pointed to the sand table with a small stick and continued: "It's three miles south of the battlefield. This is the river. You are ambushing the south of the river. When you hear three trombones, you immediately raise a dummy. Remember! Don't shout! I looked at the terrain. There were rocks in the river. As long as the Tartars are not blind, they will not rush to you! Your task is to scare the Tartars to victory! Tomorrow you will go to see the terrain with me, and I will arrange a place for you! Do you understand?"

"yes!"

"No, you should say: Yes! Chief!"

"Yes, Chief!"

"Zhang Li, Hu Ming!"

"arrive!"

"You bring two hundred people here! Zhang Li knows the place! Hearing the long, short, and long trumpet sounds, he immediately attacked and held the tail of the Tartar team! Do you understand?"

"Yes! Chief!"

"Chen Poe, Huang Wei!"

"arrive!"

"You bring four hundred people, Chen Pear as the main general, here! You build snow walls on the hillside so that the Tartars cannot see you; when you see the blocking positions, the red flag waving, they pounce on the Tartars' flanks! Do you understand?"

"Yes! Chief!"

"Li Chen!"

"arrive!"

"You bring two hundred people here! When Chen Teng charges, you rushed down from the other side of the hillside and hit the back of the Tartars! Do you understand?"

"Yes! Chief!"

"Huang Zhi, Deyin, the Xu brothers and the rest of the people, led by me to block the enemy head-on! Be sure to stick the enemy head-on and create conditions for other people's attack! Do you understand?"

"Yes! Chief!"

"Okay! Let me explain why I did this. It seems that we used a ox knife to kill chickens; this is mainly because of these newcomers, and they are not physically strong! Although they have a deep hatred towards the Tartars, they cannot fight for a long time! This battle is mainly about training troops and courage! My tactical requirements for this is: hit the enemy like a hammer! Like mercury, constantly penetrate into the middle position of the Tartars! In order to achieve a quick resolution of the battle! Also, after Zhang Li and Hu Ming saw the Tartars, they raised the message tree, yes, upright three! Pour one means normal, pour two means twice as many people come to the Tartars, and pour three means more people come! We arranged this way, which is prepared for five hundred Tartars. In addition, we have to dig a trench on the front battlefield, which is two meters deep and three meters wide; reserve seven gaps to facilitate attack. Arrange wooden signs in the trench, and make wooden rafts to prevent Tartars bows and arrows! See if you have anything to add?"

Chen Poe asked: "Chief, can I be in front of you? Li Chen is in Wu Tianxing's position for me!"

Zhang Ping'an waved his hand and said, "No! Just arrange it like this! My determination remains unchanged! Is there anything else?"

Long Xiucai stood up and asked Zhang Ping'an: "Chief, see if I can go with you!"

"No! You go with Wu Tianxing, come back after the fight! Are there any other ones?"

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Zhang Ping'an said, "Let's have a meal! After the meal, everyone is busy with their own affairs!"

After dinner, Zhang Ping'an took Long Xiucai to check the camp. He was still very satisfied with Long Xiucai's arrangements in the camp. Seeing the lively camp, Zhang Ping'an stopped from time to time and talked to the new brothers. Seeing everyone's awesome and grateful gazes; Zhang Ping'an began to look forward to the battle the day after tomorrow!

On the morning of the third day, the sun spit out a faint morning glow, as if the noise of the camp woke up its dream!

Zhang Ping'an stood at the camp gate riding a horse, silently raising his hand to salute, watching his brother walk to the battlefield. At this time, he was a hundred times more confident in winning the battle.

When he arrived at the battlefield, Zhang Ping'an first practiced erecting shields and laying wooden rafts. Then he looked at the trench and was very satisfied with the arrangement yesterday. Then he rode his horse to the hillside and saw that Chen Pai and Li Chen were also ready. He nodded and glanced at the battlefield he chose again.

Zhang Ping'an estimated that there were thirty miles from Zhang Li and the others to the blocking ground, and there were two mountains in the middle, which naturally concave the road. The Tartars could not see the blocking team at all if they were less than three miles from the blocking position. Moreover, even a team of 10,000 people would have to be surrounded by the thirty miles of mountain road.

Suddenly, Zhang Ping'an saw the news tree standing on the top of the mountain, and he suddenly fell down three messages. He was shocked, but he knew very well that as the chief general, his words and deeds had an impact on the morale of the army. So he nodded to Chen Poe and the others and smiled: "Do as the established policy! You see my signal!"

Zhang Ping'an then rode his horse slowly back to the blocking position. In a short while, he saw Zhang Li's scout coming over to report: "There are six or seven hundred Mongolian Tartars, and they are escorting no less than five thousand Ming people. Commander Zhang and Commander Hu asked what to do?"

Zhang Ping'an heard a buzzing sound behind him, and Zhang Ping'an said calmly: "What a panic! Deyin, you know why I arranged this way now!"

Zhang Ping'an turned his head and ordered the scout: "Tell them, everything will be the same! Follow my order!"

At this time, Lu Deyin asked Zhang Ping'an: "Brother, how did you know that so many people are coming to the Tartars?"

Zhang Ping'an watched the scout running away without looking back, but said calmly and loudly: "For those who get silver, you must first set the worst situation on the battlefield. When we killed the Jurchen Tartars, there were only two of us, and there were nineteen Jurchen Tartars. What happened? None of the Jurchen Tartars ran away. All of them were destroyed by us! This situation today was long as I expected. Not to mention that the Mongolian Tartars were not as good as the Jurchen Tartars, even if the Jurchen Tartars came, no one would run away today!"

Zhang Ping'an turned around and shouted: "Brothers! Today is your chance to take revenge. Although we are well prepared, there are still brothers who will die in the battle. However, you will see that I will be the first to rush out! I will use a knife to cut the Tartars over and let you see what men with eggs are! Those who are afraid of death will get out now!"

Zhang Ping'an saw that although these brothers had a nervous expression, he grabbed their weapons tightly. No one retreated, and his eyes sprayed with a desire for revenge.
Chapter completed!
