PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Yuan Xing".

The generals were surprised, what kind of mysterious confidence is this King Wu?

Can you order a counterattack when the soldiers are tired and there is an extreme shortage of food, grass and ammunition, and advance instead of retreating?

Although there is no shortage of ferries in Huai'an Province, it can force a counterattack, which will not only increase casualties for no reason, but may even cause the collapse of the whole army due to excessive casualties.

At this time, even Song An couldn't hold his breath, "This is too much...... It's child's play. ”

The last four words, almost inaudible, are a habit developed in awe of Wu Zheng in the past twenty years.

But the meaning is already obvious.

Wu Zheng turned around, returned to his seat, sat down slowly, thought for a while and asked: "The enemy does not know the nature of water, and he attacked by force in four days, and the casualties are still better than our army...... Moreover, although the enemy also has firearms, most of them are still bowl-mouthed, and they are inferior to our army in terms of lethality and range, so why can't our army fight back? ”

Lu Zhiyu replied quickly, "But the prince...... The enemy's strength is two or three times that of our army, and at the same time our army is surrounded on three sides, even if the reinforcements from the south have really restrained the enemy cavalry, then there is still the direction of Yancheng, Yue Le's nearly 30,000 musket new army, the 30,000 people are equipped with the same muskets as our army, and when the time comes, Huai'an City will not be protected, and our army will completely lose the back ....... ”

Wu Zheng heard most of the place, raised his hand to interrupt Lu Zhiyu's words, and nodded: "What you mean, this king understands it." ”

Lu Zhiyu was stunned and fell silent.

Wu Zheng said: "These kings know, but Song An should know very well that according to the most optimistic estimate, the reinforcements should be on the line from Xinghua to Gaoyou Prefecture at this time, and there are still hundreds of miles away from Huai'an...... Okay, according to all the best, the reinforcements can go north and reach Huai'an Mansion, it is estimated that it will take two or three days, and how long can our army's ammunition last...... Is it two days? Or three days? But what if the reinforcements can't arrive in time, will our soldiers have to hit their heads and bite with their teeth? Yes, you can use bayonets, but once the enemy finds out that our troops are running out of ammunition, will they be willing to engage in close combat with our troops? There is no shortage of arrows for them, so let the soldiers use their heads to push the enemy's sharp arrows? ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng slapped the board and stood up, "It's not wrong to put your life and death on the reinforcements of your comrades." It must be a mistake to put your hopes on an unpredictable and controllable arrival time, you ...... We have to save ourselves! The best defense in the capital is offense, and today, this king wants to see if this is wrong, or if this king is wrong. ”

Wu raised his hand and said loudly: "This king's will has been decided...... Counterattack! After crossing the river, he would meet Dolgon and casually tell him that there are many things in this world that he cannot do whatever he wants, let alone completely control them. Maybe he can say the final say when the war starts, but how to end it, you have to ask this king! ”

God knows, strictly speaking, this war was launched by Wu Zheng first.

Everyone present knew it in their hearts, but no one wanted to care about this, because, for no reason, the generals were aroused by Wu Zheng's few words, and their thoughts were completely reversed after these few words.

Wu Zheng's firmness made the generals convinced, just like standing in front of them is not a person, but a god, the god of war, the god of war of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the all-powerful god of war of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

This is indeed very outlandish, and this is definitely not obedience in the strict sense of the word, but blind obedience.

In the hearts of almost every general, they had hesitated about Wu Zheng's proposal before, but at this time, almost everyone's eyes were flashing with a little fire, and it was burning.

Wu Zheng has always been "democratic", and his consistent practice is often to listen to everyone's opinions "with an open mind" and let them all speak out, but in the end, he firmly follows his own ideas

In the eyes of others, this is the category of dictatorship, but Wu Zheng knows in his heart that if he really does what they think, then what is the use of himself? This is Wu Zheng's unique way of superiority.

Listen, yes.

Adopt, no!

……。

After the meeting ended, Song An asked Wu Zheng privately, "The young master really wants to make a bet...... This is a battle that is likely to go back and never return. ”

Wu Zheng said abruptly: "In your opinion, if you stick to Huai'an, can you hold out until the first army arrives?" ”

"This ...... As long as the soldiers use their lives, it is still possible to ....... Song An's voice became lower and lower, because in fact, he didn't believe his own words either, Xinghua and Gaoyouzhou are now places where the enemy is heavily guarded, and the first army needs to gather to deal with the enemy cavalry that suddenly rushes like a "ghost", and it is impossible to move north quickly.

Hundreds of miles, trying to get there in three days, this is almost unattainable.

Wu Zheng stared at Song An's eyes and said, "Since the result is already doomed, why not act rashly?" Do you know why since ancient times, military advisors can never become commanders, because they are good at planning, but they have invisibly lost too much practical ....... ”

Song An couldn't keep up with Wu Zheng's thinking.

"If you don't do everything in the world, you often don't know what the outcome will be, especially war...... If you can win a decisive victory just by strategizing, then since ancient times, only military advisors need to talk on paper. ”

Song An finally reacted, "What the young master means is that the enemy ...... Flawed? ”

"Flaws?" Wu Zheng suddenly laughed, "No one has no flaws, and our army also has them, for example, my decision at this time has the same flaws, and the flaws are so big that people can see through them at a glance." ”

"But the young master knows that it is a flaw, why do you want to ......?" Song An suddenly came to his senses, "Did the young master deliberately show the enemy's flaws?" ”

Wu Zheng said with a sigh: "It's not so unbearable...... One thing is for sure, though, Dolgon never expected me to be so crazy. ”

Song An frowned and said: "Why is the young master so sure, in my opinion, Dolgon should be able to expect that when our army runs out of ammunition and food, it may fight on its back." ”

Wu Zheng suddenly asked, "Do you think Dolgon will know that I am in Huai'an?" ”

Song An shook his head and said, "I can't judge...... It stands to reason that the young master's whereabouts are kept secret, and even many generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the south do not know the exact whereabouts of the young master, and Dolgon should have no way of knowing...... But after these four days, many Ogon will know. ”

Wu Zheng nodded, "No secret lasts forever, I guess Dolgon already knows, just as I know now that he is on the other side...... In your opinion, how would Dorgon judge my next reaction? ”

Song An thought for a while, and spit out a word with difficulty, "Withdraw!" ”

"Why?"

Song An cautiously glanced at Wu Zheng, "Young Master's past habits, you can't beat it...... Withdraw, there is no reason to dwell on the dead. ”

Song An didn't say this word, in fact, Wu Zheng's original words were that if you can fight, if you can't fight, you will escape.
