While he was talking, suddenly, he heard a tiger Li Guo say loudly: "Yongweiying, the Yongweiying of the imperial court!"
"Yes, Yongwei Ying!" When Luo Rucai heard this, he pointed at Li Guo and immediately agreed, "Among the imperial officers and soldiers, the only one who can fight is Yongwei Ying. Besides, Yongwei Ying is the only one that can fight.
The camp is most loyal to the imperial court. They came to Kaifeng to ask for help according to the order. Is there anything wrong with it?"
After hearing what the two of them said, other people agreed one after another, thinking that pretending to be the Yongwei camp was the most appropriate!
Niu Jinxing, who had been unable to speak, suddenly said: "I'm afraid it's hard to pretend to be in the Yongwei camp. There are just a few people who dare to bump into our coalition forces. No matter how stupid they are, they won't be like this, right?"
There were not many people in the Yongwei camp itself, and they were divided into three parts by Emperor Chongzhen to put out fires. Each part had even fewer people. By this time in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, the Yongwei camp could actually only wipe out relatively weak factions.
thief.
For example, Huang Degong's subordinates actually had nothing to do with Zhang Xianzhong. The two sides were at war with each other. Basically, Huang Degong could only guard Fengyang, the central capital, and was already on the defensive.
According to the original history, Sun Yingyuan's troops were surrounded by bandits and were left alone and helpless, and eventually died on the battlefield.
At this time, after hearing Niu Jinxing's words, the atmosphere in the tent that had been so enthusiastic just now suddenly turned cold again.
They suddenly discovered that the current imperial court seemed to have very few troops that could threaten them. It could even be said that there was no one that could threaten their two coalition forces!
At this moment, should I be happy or unhappy?
While most of the people were thinking, it was Luo Ru who spoke up and said: "When I came from the south, I had already heard that Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong's troops had returned north according to the order. Judging from the time, Sun Gouguan should have known about this order.
.Then it is logical and reasonable for them to join forces and come to rescue Kaifeng, right?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Jinxing immediately nodded and said, "That's probably OK. These dog officials are the most loyal to the emperor and will definitely come to the rescue!"
"Okay, then pretend to be them!" Li Zicheng heard this and said with a little excitement.
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Xiance said with a little worry: "Will the entire Yongwei Battalion really come to save Kaifeng?"
There is no doubt about the importance of Kaifeng. Moreover, there is a King of Zhou in the city, which is also the face of the court, so there must be no room for loss!
It seems not impossible that the Dog Emperor really sent out the entire Brave Guard Battalion!
Upon hearing this, Li Zicheng didn't care at all, and immediately sneered: "If you really dare to come, you can take the opportunity to destroy them!"
"The general is mighty!" After hearing this, Song Xiance thought that since the two armies were united here, he really wasn't afraid of the Yongwei camp, so he flattered Li Zicheng.
"There is another question!" After hearing this, Li Yan suddenly said, "That Sun Gouguan is a man who knows the military. He must have known that outside our siege, we would definitely send out vigils all night long. How could the Yongwei camp suddenly kill us?"
Come down to Kaifeng City?"
"..." Upon hearing this, the people in the tent were dumbfounded. This was something they had not expected.
If the people in the city were mediocre, they might think that the people in the city would not have thought of this; however, the person sitting in the city now is Sun Chuanting, and he will definitely consider this issue!
On the plain where Kaifeng is located, it is not easy for reinforcements to suddenly attack!
All of a sudden, these people in the big tent were stumped by this problem.
Thinking of what was irritating him, Liu Zongmin shouted loudly: "Taking advantage of our great momentum, can't we forget to send a night guard?"
"That's right, maybe the vigilant Ye Busuang thought that no reinforcements would come, so he relaxed his vigilance, and ended up being punished by the army Ye Busuang!" Yuan Zongdi, another bandit general, also followed suit.
After hearing this, other people came up with some reasons to explain why the imperial reinforcements were able to kill Kaifeng City.
After hearing this, Li Yan had to interrupt them and said: "You have to tell Sun Gouguan these reasons and make him believe it. We can't believe it ourselves!"
"..." When everyone heard this, they were immediately speechless.
Is it possible to send someone to the city to explain these possibilities to Sun Chuanting?
But when Li Zicheng heard this, he suddenly waved his hand and said: "That's it, we can act for a few days first, pretend that we can't attack the city, slack off, and let Sun Gouguan have such an impression. Then we can find someone to watch.
Far away, let’s pretend once!”
Luo Rucai thought about it and felt that it made sense. It seemed that this was the only way to do it, so she agreed.
Both of them agreed, and the others had no objections, so they began to discuss specific steps based on this principle.
So, in the next few days, when the defenders on the city saw the bandits, the attackers were still attacking the city, but those who were not involved in the siege in the distance began to slack off. Everyone was doing their own thing.
, as if the siege had nothing to do with them.
Seeing this scene, Henan patrol commander Gao Mingheng couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly went to Sun Chuanting and reported: "Sir, please look at the bandits far outside the city. They must have seen that the long-term attack was ineffective and the morale of the army was affected. They themselves thought that Kaifeng
It’s not something they can defeat!”
As he spoke, he excitedly gave Sun Chuanting a detailed analysis.
Gao Mingheng's explanation is indeed consistent with the current battle situation.
The bandits have been fighting for so long and have lost so many troops. In the short term, they have no possibility of conquering Kaifeng. Therefore, it seems not surprising that the situation outside the city will occur.
But after hearing this, Sun Chuanting just nodded and said, "I understand!"
He was indeed not very happy, because Emperor Chongzhen had told him before that even without him participating in the Battle of Kaifeng and without his preparations, Kaifeng City would have been defended until September.
Now that he is participating in the defense of the city, Kaifeng will definitely be able to persist more. If the bandits cannot defeat Kaifeng, there will naturally be no special surprises.
Gao Mingheng didn't know this, so he was so happy!
At this time, when he saw Sun Chuanting's reaction, he was not unhappy. Instead, he felt that everything was within Sun Chuanting's expectation, and he admired Sun Chuanting even more.
However, this did not prevent him from telling others the news, such as the King of Zhou and others who had been worried. As a result, the morale in Kaifeng City was further improved.
Outside Kaifeng City, Li Zicheng and others were naturally very concerned about what was going on on top of the city. They kept watching to see if their strategy of neglect had attracted the attention of the defenders on top of the city.
But on the third day, the effect was really seen. Immediately, the bandit leaders who knew the strategy were overjoyed and hurriedly reported the situation to Li Zicheng.
"General, the defenders on the city were indeed fooled, and they were all as happy as if they had picked up money!"
"General, our strategy worked. The defenders on the city thought they could win, as if they were beaten to death!"
"..."
After hearing this news, Li Zicheng also went to secretly observe the situation on the top of the city in person, and confirmed that it was indeed as he had accepted the report. Suddenly, he felt a little relieved.
To be honest, it was a bit unexpected for him that Kaifeng was so hard to crack. Even the first two times he failed, but this time, he united with Luo Rucai's people and came to fight with the promise of 500,000 yuan.
.
This time, he is confident and is not afraid of reinforcements from the imperial court. As the so-called isolated city stands firm without reinforcements from outside, it will definitely fall.
Therefore, Li Zicheng was bound to win Kaifeng this time.
However, Sun Chuanting's presence made the battle of Kaifeng more difficult, which was beyond his expectation.
After fighting for so many days, he was actually a little helpless. Fortunately, now there was another plan, which had the possibility of defeating Kaifeng. Therefore, he actually had high hopes for this plan.
At this time, the initial strategy of luring the enemy out of the city seemed to be successful. This made Li Zicheng even more hopeful about capturing Kaifeng City.
Therefore, at the military meeting convened again, Li Zicheng emphasized to his men: "To lure the enemy out of the city, it must be done well enough to allow troops to be sent to Kaifeng. The more troops are sent, the easier it is to go back and capture Kaifeng."
The easier it gets!”
In fact, he doesn't need to say this truth, his subordinates all understand it.
For this reason, many efforts have been made to check and fill in the gaps and improve this strategy.
In order to prevent Sun Chuanting from seeing through the fake show, the siege army must not get the information in advance, so that the secret will not be revealed during the show.
In this way, if the siege army is attacked by the imperial reinforcements without knowing the details, they will definitely panic and there will definitely be no shortage of casualties.
But in order to seduce Sun Chuanting, he was reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, so the casualties were worth it.
Of course, these casualties are definitely not the direct lineage of Li Zicheng, nor the direct lineage of Luo Rucai.
In order to further deceive Sun Chuanting, Li Zicheng and others also discussed that when the imperial army appeared, the camp would have to hurriedly gather an army to intercept it.
It's just a pity that the "Brave Guard Camp" is too brave to resist. This is one of them.
Secondly, it is necessary to create a scene where the imperial reinforcements outside the city rush to kill but are unable to catch them. The main camp is urgently gathering to prepare for resistance.
If the city of Kaifeng does not take the opportunity to go out of the city to cooperate with the attack, it is likely that the camp will be relieved. In this way, the imperial reinforcements may not only be unable to defeat the rebels, but may also be surrounded and destroyed by the rebels.
The key to determining the outcome of the war, whether victory or defeat, depends on whether the imperial army in Kaifeng City can send troops to complete the straw that breaks the camel's back.
All kinds of details, in the bandit camp, were completely supplemented by your words and my words.
After everything was planned, Li Zicheng became so proud that he pointed in the direction of Kaifeng City and shouted loudly: "I don't believe it anymore. In this situation, Sun Chuanting will not seize the opportunity to fight!"
