"You want to divide the troops?"

When Man Gui frowned when he heard that Jiang Yingzhao wanted to divide the troops.

Jiang Yingzhao said: "That's what I plan. You and I will lead a group of troops to resolve the disaster of the bandits in Xuanfu in one fell swoop. As long as the main force of the bandits is eliminated, it will be easy to seize the Xuanfu."

"Isn't it too risky to divide the troops?" Man Gui was a little worried.

Jiang Yingzhao smiled and said, "What a risk? Do you think it takes more than 50,000 troops to capture Yongning City, or do you think it takes 50,000 troops to destroy the main force of the bandits in Xuanfu?"

"I don't mean that." Man Gui explained, "We don't know when the main force of the bandits will come to Yongning and whether they will come to rescue Yongning. There is no need to rush to divide the troops. We can wait until we determine the position of the main force of the bandits and decide whether to divide the troops."

After hearing this, Jiang Yingzhao looked at Man Gui with surprise and said, "You won't be scared by the firearms of the bandits in Yongning City, are you?"

"I haven't seen the muskets and cannons before, how could I be scared by this igniter?" Man Gui curled his lips disapprovingly.

He admitted that the bandits and firearms in Yongning City were sharp, but he did not think that they would be invincible with firearms. The Ming army also had no shortage of all kinds of firearms.

Jiang Yingzhao looked upright and said, "I will give you 20,000 troops, can you take down Yongning City?"

"There are 20,000 troops enough to take down Yongning City. According to my observation in the past two days, the defenders in Yongning City are at most a few thousand, and there are not many scattered on the four walls." Man Gui said.

As an experienced general, although the army had not yet captured Yongning City, he discovered some situations in Yongning City through the battles of the past two days.

"What else are you worried about? The 20,000 army attacked Yongning City, and the remaining tens of thousands opened their pockets outside Yongning City, waiting for the main force of the bandits to break in." Jiang Yingzhao said to Man Gui.

Man Gui asked, "What if the main force of the bandits did not come?"

"I didn't come, and it would not delay us from taking down Yongning City in the slightest. I will find a way to find a decisive battle with the main force of the bandits in the future. I believe that as long as we fight one by one, the main force of the bandits will sooner or later jump out and fight us for the decisive battle." Jiang Yingzhao said confidently.

Man Gui thought for a while and said, "Just do what you said, but the ambush must be left to me, and the siege will be arranged by you. I am more accustomed to fighting face to face with the thieves outside the city."

"Yes." Jiang Yingzhao nodded and agreed.

The matter was proposed by him, so naturally Mangui had to choose what to do. Moreover, he was not sure that the main force of the bandits would definitely come to rescue Yongning City. If he didn't come, it would be a contribution to conquering Yongning City.

After the two of them finished their meal, the personal soldiers waiting in the tent brought out all the leftovers and replaced them with hot tea.

Neither Jiang Yingzhao nor Man Gui left the tent.

Both of them were waiting for the news that the sentry sent to the camp will return to the camp. Once there is no sentry sentry, even if there is no news about the main force of the bandits, it can be confirmed that the main force of the bandits has arrived nearby.

The sky slowly darkened, and a bonfire was lit in the camp, and the patrolling soldiers also walked back and forth in the camp with torches in their hands.

"Report to the two generals, Deputy General Lin is looking for a visit outside the tent." The soldiers guarding outside the tent came in and reported.

Jiang Yingzhao and Man Gui looked at each other, and then he said, "Please ask Deputy General Lin to come in."

The soldier retreated.

Soon, a general wearing a regular uniform walked in from outside the tent.

"I've seen two generals." Gu

After coming in, the general took the lead in greeting Jiang Yingzhao who was waiting in the tent and greeted Man Gui.

Jiang Yingzhao said, "Deputy General Lin finds a place to sit by himself."

The deputy general is not much different from the general, and even the deputy general does not give the general face, so Jiang Yingzhao did not take anything in front of Lin Huai.

Even if he wanted to show off his character, Xing Youwei, the nominal commander of the army, would naturally not offend the deputy generals in the army for a little bit of trivial matters.

After Lin Huai sat down.

Man Gui, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but ask, "Have the sentry sent out during the day returned?"

"The five squadrons of 25 cavalry have a total of 25 cavalry, and none of them have returned. The last generals are also here to report to the two generals for this matter." Lin Huai shook his head slightly.

Jiang Yingzhao raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that the main force of the bandits should have arrived."

"The General of the Mo also thought so." Lin Huai said, "Each of the five squadrons is an old soldier in the army. He never loses his wits when facing slave thieves and fighting. Now there is no news. Except for encountering the main force of the bandits and being destroyed, the General of the Mo can't think of any other possibility."

Jiang Yingzhao turned his head and said to Man Gui, "Just divide the troops. You will lead the army to set up an ambush outside Yongning City tomorrow morning. I will lead another army to attack Yongning City with all my strength and force the main force of the bandits to come and rescue them."

Man Gui nodded and then said, "Do you want to talk to the military supervisor?"

"No need." Jiang Yingzhao waved his hand and said, "The military supervisor only cares about the result. As for how we fight, he doesn't care."

At this moment, the soldiers outside the tent walked in and bowed and said, "Report to the generals, the sentry sent by the lieutenant have been back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the three people in the big tent changed.

Among them, Jiang Yingzhao said: "Take people in here quickly."

Not long after, Bing Ding helped a pale-faced man walk in from outside the tent.

"Little Ding Youkui, I have seen several generals." The whistle detective who was supported in knelt on the ground, one hand was supported on the ground, and a circle of cloth wrapped in the other arm, with blood stains soaked on it.

The injuries on his body were also noticed by several people in the tent.

"Get up quickly, how did you get injured on your shoulders? Have you seen it with the military doctor?" Jiang Yingzhao asked about the injuries on the siege.

The whistle detective got up from the ground and then said, "This morning, the young man was ordered to lead a team of people to investigate the situation around him. Unexpectedly, when he returned, he encountered a large group of thieves. After fighting hard, he got a gun on his shoulder, but he finally escaped."

"Where did you meet the bandits?" Man Gui asked anxiously.

The whistle detective said: "Twenty miles away from the army camp, I didn't find it when I took my people by, but I suddenly encountered it when I came back."

"So close." Man Gui frowned.

Yanqing Prefecture has many mountains and forests, sometimes more than ten miles apart. If you didn’t bump into it, it would be difficult to spot the other party.

Deputy General Lin Huai asked at this time: "Who else is back besides you?"
