Chapter 466 Stratagem

Zhang Xutuo held a gathering in the military tent. Due to the arrival of Mai Mengcai, Qin Qiong and others, it was like a tiger's wings and a large number of troops. He began to discuss how to defeat the rebel alliance.

"At present, the rebel kings Bo, Sun Xuanya, Shi Zijie, Hao Xiaode, and Liu Badao were gathered to make trouble. After several fierce battles, the number of people was about 50,000, and almost 10,000 troops were each recruited. Our army has increased its troops now. Once the other party heard the news, the morale of the army would be unstable. Once the sneak attack, people would definitely be timid and want to escape." Zhang Xutuo expressed his point of view.

Luo Shixin said: "Ship Zhang, it's not too late. Please order us to lead our troops to fight so that the rebels will not escape."

Mai Mengcai stood up and said, "Our army is new and has no chance to make meritorious service. Please send us to the battle."

Zhang Xutuo looked at the generals ready to beat the enemy, and was confident of defeating the enemy. He smiled and said, "If we fight hard, our army will definitely suffer casualties. This general has a plan to withdraw some of our troops overnight and continue to reinforce the next day to make the momentum bigger. It seems that reinforcements are constantly arriving, and the rebels will inevitably be afraid. Tomorrow night, some suicide squads will be sent to charge against the enemy. The army ambushed the outside. This way, the closing of the net is more stable and safe than directly charging into the battlefield."

After he finished his plan, he asked the generals, commanders, and military personnel to lit up his eyes and felt that this plan was very good.

Tang Xiaoren clasped his fists and said, "What Zhang Shuai said is very true. If you attack head-on, kill one thousand enemies, kill eight hundred deaths, and suffer a lot of casualties. If you bluff, the rebels will be full of soldiers and morale will plummet, then we are sneak attacking and setting up an ambush, and we will easily destroy several fleeing rebels."

Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong and others also admired Zhang Xutuo's military command ability and never got tired of deceiving soldiers.

"Next, I arrange manpower and perform different tasks and must not violate the order."

"Abide by the order!" Everyone agreed with a loud voice, and the armor piece clanged and made a friction sound, with a sense of pride.

The next day, the flags floated, the iron horses vibrated, the sound was great, the smoke and dust rolled, like a long dragon winding, and drove into the camps.

Many soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were shouting: Reinforcements are here, reinforcements are here—

The sound of the war horses neighing was heard from afar. Five rebel camps from miles away were noticed and sent out a meticulous work to inquire nearby. After learning the news, the five leaders of the five rebels changed their faces.

"What? The Great Sui Dynasty has increased its troops again. Didn't the reinforcements just come yesterday?"

"Report to the general, yesterday there seemed to be 20,000 people, but today there are only 30,000. The Sui army has a total of 60,000 or 70,000 people, which is now the total of our five-way army."

"The 30,000 Sui army still has the power of fighting, and now the number of people has doubled, and the major events of our rebel alliance have been gone." Sun Xuanya cried out in grief.

In another camp tent, Wang Bo's face changed when he received the news. At that time, he and Meng Rang's 100,000 troops were almost destroyed. Now, more than 20,000 troops have finally gathered together and gathered with other rebel kings and princes, but still cannot resist Zhang Xutuo's pressing advance.

"Come here, send orders to strengthen your vigilance, especially at night, patrol rafts outside the tent to prevent the Sui army from attacking the camp and prepare for retreat at any time!" Wang Bo is now guilty and has no confidence to resist.

This scene was staged in different commanders' tents. Shi Zhizhe, Hao Xiaode, and Liu Badao were all absent-minded and were in a dilemma. They were worried about being surrounded by the attack camp, thinking about how to escape this disaster. They were intimidated by the number of Sui soldiers and were all considering their way out.

As night fell, some generals came out in Zhang Xutuo's tent, holding military orders, and headed for troops to move.

Soon, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin and Fan Hu were appointed, each leading 3,000 troops to attack the three camps. They no longer killed many enemies, but wanted to make a big splash and destroy the enemy camp.

The other generals were also divided into three branches, including Zhang Xutuo, Tang Xiaoren and Mai Mengcai, each leading a army of troops, about 8,000 people, lying in different three directions, preparing to catch turtles in the jar and intercept the rebels to flee.

Before leaving, Zhang Xutuo was worried about the new Liaodong army. He went over to take a look, but saw the military formation transferred from Liaodong. The army was neat and the ranks were neat, with swords, guns, swords and halberds, and the cold light shining. When he stood there, he felt a sense of murderous aura. He couldn't help but stroke his beard and said to himself: "It's really well-trained, not weaker than the elite of our army. Who trained the soldiers?"

Mai Mengcai clasped his fists and said, "Report to Shuai Zhang, we are the army under the command of Shaoshang Luo Cheng. We have strict military disciplines, trained every day, and after bloody battles, we all become elite soldiers."

Zhang Xutuo sighed: "General Luo Cheng is indeed a military genius. It's a pity that I don't have much contact with him. If I have the opportunity, I can meet in the future, drink and talk about the changes in the military formation, and the strategies of military strategy, etc.."

"The young marshal... has encountered an unexpected accident, his life and death are uncertain, and I don't know when I will meet him." Mai Mengcai, Qin Qiong and others felt sorry. If they continue to follow Luo Cheng, they will definitely have a better future. But after his accident, the Sui army went from Liaodong. No one had the courage to live in the lonely city of Liaodong. The imperial court ordered him to temporarily remove half of the troops from Liaodong and divide them into Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen to suppress the rebels.

"That's really a jealous talent." Zhang Xutuo locked his eyebrows, sighed, and immediately shouted out the order.

Mai Mengcai and Qin Qiong led their troops out of the camp and ambushed to the designated location. Tonight, they would intercept the main force of the rebels who fled in the chaos.

As the night approached, the arrows soared into the sky. The Sui army roared and rushed into the rebel camp. The things that Wang Bo, Hao Xiaode and others were worried about were finally born.
