Good news: Zhu Lian transmigrated, becoming Emperor Chongzhen of the Great Ming, Zhu Youjian.
Bad news: Today is the tenth day of the third month of Chongzhen's seventeenth year, and Li Z...
"In that case," Li Dingguo raised his lips slightly, "then we can only divide our forces."
"Divide the troops?" Gao Wengui was stunned. He reminded, "General, Man Dahai's troops are twice as many as ours."
"It's because their forces are twice as strong as ours that we have to divide our forces!"
"This..." Gao Wengui was completely confused.
Li Dingguo did not explain, but ordered: "Gao Wengui, you take a thousand cavalrymen and leave the team in front of Man Dahai and retreat to the rear."
"yes."
Gao Wengui acted according to the order after receiving it.
"What?" Man Dahai thought he had misheard, and asked the scout, "Did you just say that Li Dingguo divided his troops?"
"Yes," the scout replied, "Li Dingguo sent a cavalry unit to retreat to the rear, and his intentions are unclear."
Man Dahai was even more puzzled: "Li Dingguo only has half the number of troops as ours, why would he dare to divide his forces?"
Xi Han of the Zhenghuang Banner analyzed: "I think this is Li Dingguo's empty city plan!"
"You mean... Li Dingguo knew he was no match for us, so he simply didn't fight us head-on, but instead used the method of dividing our forces to disrupt our judgment and force us not to attack?"
"That's right!" Xihan nodded.
"Isn't he too brave?" Man Dahai still didn't believe it.
Xihan snorted coldly: "Li Dingguo doesn't have any real ability, he just relies on his courage to scare others!"
Man Dahai thought for a while, then said to Xihan: "I will give you 3,000 cavalrymen, go and test Li Dingguo's background."
"Me?" Xihan suddenly became soft-spoken: "I...I..."
Man Dahai was very dissatisfied: "Didn't you just say that Li Dingguo has no real ability?"
Xihan lowered his head: "Talking is one thing, doing is another, these are... two different things!"
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to belittle Li Dingguo to elevate himself, but he didn't expect Man Dahai to directly ask him to go to war with Li Dingguo.
Who is Li Dingguo?
Not only did he kill Nikan, Kong Youde and He Luohui in battle, he also marched to the city of Shengjing to show off his military might.
Xihan felt unsure about facing him head-on.
Man Dahai was in no mood to reason with him and threatened him directly: "You must go, otherwise you will be subject to military law!"
Xihan had no choice but to reluctantly lead 3,000 cavalrymen to charge towards Li Dingguo.
