The small team first rushed quickly, rushed through the gates, rushed into the blind spot of the city, and then turned over and dismounted.
Either they drew their scimitars, or they set their bows and arrows, covering each other, and slowly entered the urn city.
Surile stood patiently on the saddle, holding an awning with his hands and looking inside.
After about an hour of burning incense, a cavalry rushed out from the city and rushed towards the army's formation.
"Report..."
The cavalryman quickly came to Su Rile's side, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is no one in the city, not even the common people."
"We are searching the other three gates, and the villain is here to report."
Because Nan Yanxi changed the name of the country and established the Ming Dynasty, the generals discussed their merits and rewarded them.
Li Qi was named King of Zhengxi, Lu Changfeng was named King of Zhennan, and Dai Qin was named King of Pingbei.
As his son, Su Rile was not only the uncle of the state, but also the crown prince of Zhenbei.
Because he was also a prince in the past, the soldiers generally used to call him that.
"Well, okay..." Su Rile waved to him to return to the team after hearing this, but he became even more suspicious in his heart.
The last time they left Yunzhou, it was completely destroyed by a fire.
As a result, his army of more than 200,000 people not only failed to receive any supplies, but also used his own money to relieve many victims.
This not only consumed a large amount of food and fodder on one's own side, but also greatly delayed the pursuit.
Although this trick is harmful to Yin De, it is indeed a practical and effective method.
Besides, since you’ve done it before, why are you afraid of doing it again? It can’t be because of your conscience, right?
Su Rile still felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the messenger: "Send the order. The troops will not enter the city. They will be divided into four teams and only control the four gates and gates."
"Send scouts into two teams to search closely inside and outside the city to guard against enemy ambush."
Then he said to the deputy general beside him: "I still feel uneasy..."
"The troops are under your command for the time being. We must defend them closely. If something happens, don't get involved and move closer to the main force immediately."
"I'll go back and discuss it with the Marshal and the others."
The deputy general agreed and immediately commanded the troops to deploy.
Surile, on the other hand, led his own soldiers, turned around and galloped away towards the main force behind him.
At this time, Li Qi and Dai Qin were leading the main force to the position of the vanguard.
They had received the news from the communication troops sent back by Su Rile, and they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts.
He quickly ordered the messenger to go back and tell Su Rile not to enter the city until the army arrived.
On his side, he urged the troops to speed up their march.
After a while, he saw a small group of cavalry coming from the front. Dai Qin took a closer look and saw that it was his son Surel.
He suddenly asked suspiciously: "Why did this guy leave the army and come back?"
"Leaving the army without permission is a violation of military discipline!"
Seeing this, Li Qi hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Maybe he discovered something and came to discuss it with us."
"Your Majesty is very sensitive and will never make such a stupid mistake without any reason. Please don't worry, Your Majesty. We'd better ask first."
When Dai Qin heard this, he smiled and nodded, thinking that this old brother was so nice to talk to and the steps were so beautiful.
A moment later, Su Rile arrived with his army and bowed his hands to the two of them: "Father, Lu Shibo."
"Yeah!" The two nodded.
Dai Qin was the first to speak: "My son, as a forward general, how can you leave your troops and come back privately? But what's the important matter?"
When Su Rile heard this, he quickly agreed: "Father, I think... something is wrong."
Immediately, he expressed the doubts in his heart: "Father, King Lu, there is not even a single person in Zhongzhou City."
"It looks like Xiang Tianxing has abandoned the city and left, but... I still feel something is wrong."
When Li Qi heard this, he nodded appreciatively and asked, "Oh? What do you think is wrong, Prince?"
Hearing this, Su Rile slowly explained: "My nephew is thinking of the last time in Yunzhou, Xiang Tianxing did such a damaging thing."
"Although it is a loss of morality, it has effectively delayed our pursuit."
"So...since you have done this despicable thing once, why are you afraid of doing it a second time? It's not like his conscience discovered it in the middle of Xiang Tianxing, right?"
"So, my nephew made a decision to stop the troops from entering the city and only control the four gates."
"At the same time, send scouts into two teams to search inside and outside the city to see if there is an ambush."
"Order the troops to move closer to the main force once they are attacked and not to fight."
After listening to Su Rile's words, Dai Qin and Li Qi both nodded in appreciation.
Li Qi even said with appreciation: "Not bad, not bad... Well done, Prince! The analysis makes sense."
Then he turned to look at Dai Qin: "Your Majesty... why don't we take the army over first and join the vanguard before we discuss it."
Dai Qin smiled heartily: "Hahaha... It's all at the command of Brother Zhengxi."
The order was issued and the troops began to slowly move closer to the vanguard.
At this time, Wang Zhizhong's troops hiding behind the forest were complaining terribly.
As if the enemy had discovered something, they sent out scouts one after another to conduct a rigorous search of the nearby mountains and forests.
If it weren't for the cover of darkness, they might have been discovered.
However, the enemy scouts' search area was getting wider and wider, and it was only a matter of time before they were discovered. Wang Zhizhong began to have difficulties.
Tan Ma reported that only the vanguard of the enemy army had entered the city, and the main army had not arrived.
Moreover, the enemy vanguard only controlled the four gates and the pass, and there were not many people in the city.
If we do it now, the effect will be much worse.
But if we don't take action and the enemy scouts search back and forth, there are 20,000 of them, and they will be discovered sooner or later.
The opponents are all capable prairie cavalry, and there are 200,000 troops behind them.
If we were to start a fight, our 20,000 people would not be enough to fill the gap between their teeth.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Zhizhong decided to take action. No matter how many enemy troops he could kill, it would be better to delay it for a while.
Otherwise, once discovered by the enemy and bitten by 50,000 prairie cavalry, it would be no joke.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Zhizhong slapped his thigh hard: "Then do it!"
"Come here...order the troops to dispatch and attack the two southeast gates in two groups. Don't be reluctant to fight. Just fire a round of rockets and leave."
"Meet up at the hillside thirty miles southeast and pursue the lord with all your strength."
"yes!"
The ordering soldier agreed, turned around and patted his horse away.
"Woo...Woo..."
The bugle of the attack sounded, and 20,000 Xiang's cavalry troops came out of their hiding places and attacked directly at the two southeastern gates of Zhongzhou.
Unexpectedly, the troops guarding the four gates had already received instructions from Su Rile. Once the enemy appeared, they would never entangle them.
Quickly withdraw from the four gates, keep a distance from the enemy, and do not engage with them.
Wang Zhizhong's army has appeared, and the Ming army's grassland cavalry on both sides of the southeast quickly counterattacked.
