The sky gradually darkened, and the soldiers who had been hidden in the dry ditch for a day could finally get up and move their bodies. Luo Datong also had the answer at this time. If they could successfully intercept the enemy halfway, even if they persisted for two days, they would not only win time for the second army to capture Fuli, but also leave buffer time for the Dushang to annihilate Xuzhou and aid the enemy. This prompted Luo Datong to make the decision to fight, and what His Majesty once said to him after the anti-attack battle, for the generals, they should be good at making decisions and avoid hesitation. As long as it is beneficial to the overall situation, they should fight resolutely even if they sacrifice the part.

Luo Datong had a deep understanding of this. In the Battle of the Seven Continents, His Majesty could sit idly and watch the Chaozhou Dynasty be annihilated, so that he could successfully inherit the throne. However, in order to maintain the overall situation, His Majesty still led his troops to the battlefield without hesitation, intercepting and pursuing the Mongolian Yuan navy that was running the Chaozhou fleet without hesitation. Although the battle was successful, it was also dangerous and dangerous. If there was a slight mistake, his life would be lost.

After Emperor Jingyan was seriously ill, in order to maintain the unity of the court and avoid division, His Majesty went to the island of Qizhou alone when the ministers were full of hostility. He risked being held hostage and inherited the throne after Emperor Jingyan died, and commanded the battle of Yazhou, thus bringing the court back to Qiongzhou, leaving the court without breaking apart, leaving a group of loyal ministers and talents who served the country, laying a solid foundation for restoration today.

In the Jiangdong Battle not long ago, in order to annihilate the two capitals of the Wanhu Mansions of the Mongolian Yuan entrenched in the Huai River and Henan, His Majesty also lured the enemy with his own body. He led a lonely army to defend outside Yangzhou City to attract the attention of the enemy, and secretly transferred the main army to Jiangdong to set up an ambush. However, his ministers opposed the opposition and placed the battlefield in the Jiangdong area, but in the end, he used the losses of several states to exchange for the entire annihilation of tens of thousands of enemy troops, recovering Huaidong, Huaixi and several prefectures in Henan, and changing the passive defensive situation.

"Luo Dutong, I can't even eat!" Just as Luo Datong made up his mind to fight the enemy, Fang Sheng and Zhang Ping came with their brother-in-law. Seeing that there was food placed beside him, Zhang Ping smiled and teased.

"Oh, I'm lying in the ditch like a mouse every day, and I can't eat it even if I can't eat it!" Fang Sheng sat down next to Luo Datong, picked up a piece of bacon and threw it into his mouth and sighed.

"Oh, it's dark? But if you don't come, I'm going to find you." Luo Datong realized that he had been lost for a long time. He picked up the kettle and poured it into the air, then wiped the water droplets on his beard with his sleeves.

"Do you have any idea? The enemy of Yingtian Prefecture has arrived in Yongcheng, and the trip has been more than half. It will reach Liuzi Town tomorrow, which is only a hundred miles away from Fuli. If we wait another day, they can reach Qize Town, and only forty miles to Fuli. If we intercept it, we will face the dilemma of attacking on both sides." Before the war, the three people agreed that the cavalry traveled quickly, so they were responsible for sending reconnaissance cavalry to take on reconnaissance missions. Therefore, Fang Sheng was very familiar with the enemy's movements and informed the two of them of the latest military situation, but his words also revealed anxiety and worries.

"Yes, if we wait any longer, the enemy has passed Liuzi Town, we can only set up an ambush near Qize Town, which is already the area for Fuli's reconnaissance cavalry patrol. It is very difficult to catch the enemy in secret. In addition, we are attacked by enemy forces several times more than ours. At that time, you will run fast. What should we do?" Zhang Ping said without brows. They are artillery soldiers. They must carry heavy artillery when retreating, and have certain requirements for the road. They cannot escape the pursuit of enemy cavalry when blocking front and intercepting the back.

"It's okay, you can't run away, so you can leave the rear to cover our evacuation, knock out the last one and then fight with the enemy until the last soldier. We will report your glorious deeds to Your Majesty truthfully and ask for you. Your Majesty will definitely give you a wife and a son. Of course, we will take care of your family for you, so you can go with peace of mind!" Luo Datong also picked up a piece of dry cake, wrapped it with a piece of bacon, and chewed it with a big smile.

"Ba, bah... You crow's mouth, Your Majesty has given you a wife and son!" Zhang Ping said angrily. According to the military pension regulations, if a senior officer is killed, the court will not only provide pensions according to the regulations, but also conceal the family, so everyone often jokes about this.

"Okay, let's talk nonsense, should we fight or not!" After laughing, Sun Datong waved his hand and said seriously.

"Yes, there is no news from Du Shuai. The messenger we sent tried to contact us several times because the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry failed to intercept. What should we do next without orders?" Fang Sheng swallowed his flesh and wiped his mouth.

"I think it should be a fight. It is not a big deal for us to hide here for a long time. The longer we spend, the greater the possibility of exposure. We should make a decision on whether to fight or withdraw!" Zhang Ping also thought it was authentic.

"It is a taboo in the army without orders." Fang Sheng continued, "According to time and plan, the route led by Du Shuai should be surrounded by the enemy. Fu Li did not find any trace of the Halalu Guards. I think it should have completed the task of annihilation of the enemy, but any cooperation action should also be informed!"

"That's 30,000 enemy troops. How could it be possible to end the battle in one day? Even if you want to kill 30,000 pigs, you can't kill them in one day! I'm afraid that at this time, they are so busy that they have no time to pay attention to us, or they might have forgotten all of us." Zhang Ping curled his lips and teased.

"No matter why, now I can't arrive as planned. The question is what should we do!" Sun Datong waved.

"Dutong Sun, then you just tell me the truth. What do you want to do?" Fang Sheng and Zhang Ping looked at each other, and nodded slightly, and he asked in a more stressful tone.

"Fight, resolutely intercept the enemy reinforcements!" Sun Datong gritted his teeth, "As for the action without orders, I don't think it's a problem. The task given to us by Du Shuai is to intercept the enemy, and then cooperate with the first, second and third brigades to encircle and annihilate them. Therefore, the enemy's army came out and was released by us and was guilty of being intercepted but could not encircle and annihilate the enemy. That was also a problem in cooperation, but it was not our crime."

"It's reasonable!" Fang Sheng slapped his thigh.

"Well, I also think that Tu Tuha can't just sway under our noses!" Zhang Ping also said with a heavy emphasis.

"Since we all agree to fight, how should we fight? Should we cut off the enemy's return or intercept the future? Where can we set up an ambush?" Seeing that everyone agreed to fight, Sun Datong raised a series of questions.

"It seems that you have not been in vain in these years, and your work is becoming more and more organized. I think you have already figured out these issues!" The three of them were all from the personal military camp of the General's Mansion. At that time, they could be said to have been together day and night, and experienced life and death on the battlefield. They had a very good personal relationship. However, with the reorganization and expansion of the imperial guards several times, they all served in the guards. However, Sun Datong was not as fast as the other two. It was not until they formed the Fifth Brigade after entering Jiangnan that they tied up several old brothers. However, they had been training troops in Shaoxing and had never participated in the war. In the eyes of everyone, both him and the Fifth Brigade seemed much more tender.

"I laughed at you, I laughed at you! I stretched my legs first if I had torn pants. Let's listen to it. If there is anything wrong, don't be polite. Please correct me!" Sun Datong smiled and bowed to the two people, "Let's talk about the beginning or the end first. This is the key to solving all problems. However, to solve this problem, we must first determine whether to continue to go to Fuli after we intercepted the earth and earth, or turn around Yingtian Mansion?"

"Well, your idea is right!" Fang Sheng agreed with his ideas very much. He pondered for a moment, "I think Tu Tuha will return to Yingtian Mansion."

"Not necessarily, you must know that Yingtian Prefecture has more than 300 miles to Fuli. There are eleven counties and towns in total, each of which ranges from 30 to 40 miles, but it is almost the same distance for one day. Now the enemy has arrived in Yongcheng County, and will reach Liuzi Town tomorrow, which is less than a hundred miles away from Fuli. If he is intercepted, he should go to the nearest place where he can get shelter. If he turns around and returns, wouldn't he be far away?" Zhang Ping shook his head and said.

"Not necessarily!" Sun Datong waved his hand, "You must know that the Mongolian Yuan army came to help Fu Li from Yingtian Prefecture and Xuzhou respectively. The premise was that Fu Li's enemy rushed to the camp behind our army, burning down baggage and food, and forcing our army to retreat. Moreover, the troops who attacked Xuzhou had retreated 200 miles. The troops who attacked Fu Li's troops also gathered their troops and were preparing to retreat to Huainan after receiving Xuzhou. Then they concentrated their troops to defeat Fu Li's troops first, intercepting our troops who retreated from Xuzhou, thereby changing the military situation between the two Huaihe Rivers. But when our army was in a state of decline, it appeared behind the enemy to launch an ambush. What would he think?"

"If you fall into the trap, he will definitely think he has fallen into the trap!" Zhang Ping pointed at Sun Datong.

"If you were Tutu, what would you do at this time?" Sun Datong asked.

"Well..." Zhang Ping pondered for a moment, "If I were ambushed, I would definitely think that the enemy's withdrawal was fake, and then judged that the illusion was created to lure me out of the city, and then encircle and annihilate it halfway, with the purpose of capturing Yingtian Prefecture and even Bianjing!"

"If I were to think that since the enemy would ambush him halfway, he would also suspect that the enemy would encircle and annihilate the friendly troops who came out of Xuzhou halfway, and the retreating enemy would return and take advantage of the opportunity to attack the city. In this way, Xuzhou would inevitably be difficult to protect. If Xuzhou loses, if Yingtian Prefecture is lost again, then the enemy will be able to drive in and approach the capital!" Fang Sheng also expressed his own opinion.
