please make me king

Chapter 1276 Trench
"Your Highness, it's midday, do you want to send troops to attack?" Sun Chuanting looked at the sky and couldn't help asking Zhang Shun.

"Attack? Don't worry, let him dig, I want to see how good this Zhu Xieyuan is!" Zhang Shun sneered.

"This..." Sun Chuanting pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he praised, "King Shun is really wise and tricky!"

The generals couldn't understand what he said, so they couldn't help but wondered: "Then don't fight anymore?"

"Stop fighting, let's go back to camp and rest!" Sun Chuanting laughed.

Not to mention how confused the generals were, let's say that Zuo Governor Zhu Xieyuan took Xuanda Governor Zhang Fengyi and Datong Governor Ye Tinggui together with [-] troops, and they lined up outside the camp of the Yi Army.

At first, everyone said that the "Shun thief" was coming to harass and fight, but they didn't expect that the Ming army was biography and digging ditches at the same time, and no one came out to stop them.

Zhu Xieyuan suffered from the losses of the rebel army, so he was vigilant.

He couldn't help repeatedly exhorting: "The Shun thief is treacherous, vicious, and full of tricks, you must not relax, lest he take advantage of him."

"When the trench is complete, surround them, then dig wide and deep, and draw in the water of the Fen River to encircle them, so that they can't escape with their wings!"

Zhang Fengyi and Ye Tinggui had also seen the battle reports between Zhang Shun and the Ming army, and they knew that Zhang Shun used this method when he defeated Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides. It stands to reason that the other party would not fail to see the danger.

As a result, the opponent really didn't move at all, but when the soldiers of the Ming army worked hard to dig the trench, they didn't know what to do.

Zhu Xieyuan, Zhang Fengyi, and Ye Tinggui felt uneasy, they sent scouts early, and sent scouts at night, in case the "Shun thief" would suddenly come out and catch them by surprise.

Now, from sunrise to sunset, the Ming army has been busy all day, and finally dug the trench in front of the formation seven or eight times, but still no rebel army came out of the camp to fight.

The three of them became more and more confused, and they were very puzzled, but they still didn't make sense.

That night, the three of them gathered around the large tent of the Chinese army with sad faces, their lights were like beans, and they looked at each other speechlessly.

"You said, could there be an internal change in the 'Shun thief'?" Zhu Xieyuan thought that the "Shun thief" was made up of "various thieves" and surrendered generals. There are many rebellious people under his command, and he believes more and more "Things took a turn."

"Impossible, if the thieves were fighting among themselves, how could they be so quiet?" Zhang Fengyi couldn't help but shook his head and vetoed.

"That's right, if that's the case, the thieves' camp would already be full of killing noise!" Ye Tinggui smiled wryly.

The three of them were discussing "thief love", but unexpectedly heard the noise coming from outside, and couldn't help but feel unhappy.

Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help asking with a dark face: "Where is Wang Shiren, the chief soldier of Datong, and why is there so much noise outside?"

As soon as Zhu Xieyuan gave an order, some soldiers rushed away to look for Wang Shiren.

Not long after, Wang Shiren broke in in military uniform.

"What's going on outside?" Zhu Xieyuan asked displeased.

"Superintendent, the soldiers have worked hard all day, but they didn't see the enemy, and they were a little tired, so they shouted!" Wang Shiren said with a wry smile.

"They are all a bunch of mud legs. If you disturb your lord, please forgive me."

"Tired?" Ye Tinggui was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help guessing, "Our army has been in formation for a day today and has worked hard to dig trenches. The soldiers have suffered a lot."

"The Art of War says: Wait for labor with ease, and wait for hunger with satiety."

"'Shun Thief' is now resting and recuperating, but after I exhaust my energy, am I planning to take the opportunity to come to rob the village tonight?"

"Hey, don't say it, it's really a sure thing!" Zhang Fengyi couldn't help but slapped his thigh when he heard the words, and quickly agreed.

"In this way, Wang Zongbing and Governor Ye, you two will watch the night tonight, so that the subordinate battalion will not disarm at night, keep their swords in their hands, and lay down the ambush early, but wait for the 'shun thief' to come, discipline him to die without a place to bury him !" Zhu Xieyuan thought for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very possible, so he couldn't help but ordered.

"The last general (lower official) has an order!" After hearing this, Ye Tinggui and Wang Shiren responded quickly, and each returned to the camp to rectify the troops, but waited for the rebels to attack.

Zhu Xieyuan, governor of the left, and Zhang Fengyi, governor of Xuanda, went to sleep and did not mention it. Ye Tinggui, the governor of Datong, and Wang Shiren, the chief soldier of Datong, were left alone to watch the night.

After waiting in the middle of the night, there was still no one coming. Now the commander-in-chief Wang Shiren couldn't wait any longer.

He couldn't help looking for Ye Tinggui and said: "The thief hasn't seen any movement until midnight, so he probably won't come tonight."

"Why don't we order our soldiers to go to bed early so as not to delay tomorrow's battle?"

"You don't know something now!" Ye Tinggui couldn't help laughing, "When stealing camps, picking people alone is exhausting, and the mind is slack."

"Wait until dawn, 'Shun Thief' will be sent out, if we all go to sleep, wouldn't we be at the mercy of others?"

"Then... that's fine, then I'll go and ambush." ​​Wang Shiren nodded when he heard the same reasoning.

Therefore, the two men led more than ten thousand people from the standard battalion under their command to lie in ambush outside the camp, waiting for the rebels to attack.

In a daze, I don't know how long I have been here.

"Fu Jun, 'Shun Thief' is moving, 'Shun Thief' is moving!" Suddenly a voice of surprise came, which woke up the drowsy Ye Tinggui.

"Okay, well done, and take my sword!" Ye Tinggui couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly pouted.

As a result, when he opened his eyes, he was dumbfounded.

Why do you ask, it turned out that the sky was already dark at this time, obviously he and Wang Shiren had stayed up all night in vain.

"Zhiniang thief, 'Shun thief' is so treacherous!" Ye Tinggui couldn't help but cursed.

"Ah Choo!" As the saying goes: If you never forget, there will be echoes.Just when Ye Tinggui was yelling, Zhang Shun couldn't help but sneezed.

"Could it be that your highness is suffering from the cold?" You, the servant who was dressing Zhang Shun, hastily touched Zhang Shun's forehead, and then touched your own, showing a worried expression.

"It's all right!" Zhang Shun said with a smile as he plowed the field, "I'm as strong as a cow!"

"Irregularity!" The waiter spat, blushing and continued to dress him.

"What's wrong with this? Sex is a man's romance!" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing.

Between joking and joking, Zhang Shun finally dressed neatly.

He Shi Shiran walked out of the tent and saw that Sun Chuanting was already waiting outside, he couldn't help asking: "How are you, are you ready?"

"Everything is ready, but wait for King Shun's military order!" Sun Chuanting couldn't help but excitedly said.

"Okay, today I'm going to let Zhu Xieyuan know what 'my lord, times have changed'!" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing.

"Order the artillery battalion to run immediately, and lead Xu Quan's fire gun battalion and Zhang Rujing's infantry battalion to attack!"

Following Zhang Shun's order, the door of the rebel camp opened wide, and then gunners, spearmen, swordsmen and axemen came out in a file, and livestock such as cattle and mules dragged the heavy "General Qingtian Cannon", "Golden Cannon" and "Field Cannon" followed behind.

The rebel army had few troops and was fast, and it was not long before they were well arranged on the opposite side of the Ming army's trench.

Before the Ming army realized what was going on, they only heard a shout: "Fire!"

I saw the rebel soldiers suddenly separated, revealing the artillery hidden in the formation.

A door of artillery, revealing the black hole, and then spit out a long tongue of fire.

With the sound of earth-shattering cannons, an unknown number of shells flew towards the Ming army camp densely like migratory locusts.

"Ah, dodge, dodge, ah!" Suddenly the Ming army camp was in chaos, with shouts and confusion everywhere.

Some camps were hit by the red-hot iron bullets of the rebels, and they still burned, billowing black smoke, which made the camp even more chaotic.

"What's going on, what's going on?" Zhu Xieyuan, the left governor, rushed out from the large tent of the Chinese army, and couldn't help shouting.

"Supervisor... Supervisor!" Li Guoliang, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, ran over in a panic and quickly explained.

"The thieves suddenly pulled out many red cannons, and they are bombarding our army camp!"

"Where's the cavalry? Where's the cavalry? Why don't you send cavalry to drive and destroy them?" Zhu Xieyuan scolded loudly when he heard the words.

"We... we dug a trench, and we couldn't get through it for a while, but... we were taken advantage of by thieves!" Li Guoliang murmured after hearing the words.

Zhu Xieyuan's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he almost held his breath.

It turned out that Zhu Xieyuan ordered his soldiers to dig a deep trench to the north of the rebel camp to prevent the rebels from attacking.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun saw the disadvantages, and deliberately waited for him to dig, and pulled out the artillery to bombard it.

In this way, the trenches originally dug by the Ming army to block the rebels became the shackles that prevented the Ming army from getting close to the artillery of the rebels.

That Zhu Xieyuan was full of resourcefulness and resourcefulness, how could he have suffered such a big loss, and he was so anxious that he almost fainted on the spot.
