Chen Jin was in a dilemma at this time.

Of course, the loss of more than a thousand people was not enough to collapse Peixian's defense.

After all, the casualties are not large, the main force is withdrawn, and the iron cavalry is insignificant in defending the city. Chen Jin comforted himself in this way.

I'm afraid that I won't be able to go back to the capital, and Chen Jin knows very well that even if he didn't have the words of Suke Saha and Sonny before, with his practice of hugging Dorgon's thighs in the past few years, the Qing court would have already included him in Dolgon's party.

As soon as Dorgon died, the day of reckoning came.

Therefore, Chen Jin could only grit his teeth, and he had to hold on until Dolbo's reinforcements arrived, so as to show goodwill to the young master.

He then sent three teams to Yanzhou to ask for help from the messengers, and declared to Dolbo that he would live and die with Peixian!

……。

Isn't that a joke?

Chen Jin didn't know that Dolbo had forgotten Amma's explanation in a blink of an eye, and under the influence of Ganglin and Qi Chongge, he had decided to give up this inconspicuous small county, prepare to clean up Yanzhou, and prepare for the next "tripartite talks".

Therefore, during this Chongde period, he voted for the Manchu Qing Dynasty's former Ming Da Linghe Dusi, the current Han Zheng Blue Banner Niu Lu Ezhen, and Chen Jin, who was the official to the governor, his pretentiousness is destined to be a tragedy, a ridiculous tragedy.

When Wu Zheng led the Northern Expeditionary Army to the city, Chen Jin even gathered 1,000 light cavalry and 3,000 infantry to meet outside the city.

His formation was modest, with cavalry in front, crossbowmen in the rear, and shields and spearmen covering the left and right flanks.

Also, after all, he is a veteran of the battlefield, and a Han man can mix with Niu Lu Ezhen in just seven or eight years, and the official is the governor, naturally he has too much Han blood on his hands.

Chen Jin was very experienced, and after knowing that the Northern Expeditionary Army had been supplied with firearms, he ordered his back to the city wall to wait for work.

In other words, the defenders went out of the city to meet the battle and did not take the initiative to attack, which was a temporary solution to the shortcomings of the firearms soldiers.

The musket had a range of less than 200 paces, and in order to produce lethality, the Northern Expeditionary Army had to take the initiative to step forward.

Even if there is a tiger squat cannon, it is also a range within one mile, and eight six-pounder guns, the range is enough, but the cross-section of the array is dozens of zhang wide, and the lethality is still insufficient, the key is that after the battle of Feiyun Bridge, there are not many shells left, and both sides of the enemy are actually very clear in their hearts.

But although Chen Jin's response is correct, after thinking about it, it is also a little ridiculous, isn't it?

If it is to wait for work, wouldn't it be better for the defenders to stay in the city to resist the Northern Expeditionary Army?

Why go out of the city to meet the city that had been strengthened by Dorgon's orders?

This is the little Jiujiu in Chen Jin's belly, passive defense, three points weaker momentum, take the initiative to attack, can win the best, can not win can also report upward, Chen is not afraid of arrows, take the lead, led the whole army to resist the enemy outside the city, repeatedly defeated, repeatedly defeated...... Isn't that something like that?

This practice is very common, for example, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, dozens of Japanese invaders landed on the coast of Fujian, and then they went all the way to the storm, attacking when they encountered a small county town, and fighting when they encountered the Ming army.

Traveling more than 1,000 miles, sacking most of the southern Zhili, and approaching the Ming Dynasty's Liudu Yingtianfu City, he brazenly launched an attack on Yingtiancheng, which was high and strong.

More than 100,000 Ming troops along the way were powerless to stop it.

In the history, "the bow was shot, the thief took his arrow, and the armies were stunned and defeated." ”

Is it ridiculous?

It's not ridiculous!

Although the military system of the guard post collapsed at that time, the guard post was seriously full of soldiers, and the combat effectiveness was low, but even if it was one out of ten, it would be tens of thousands of troops.

If everyone pees, they can drown these dozens of pirates, right?

These dozens of wandering Japanese pirates, traveling thousands of miles, lasted nearly two months, caused thousands of casualties among officers, soldiers and civilians, killed one person in the imperial history, one person in the county, and three generals.

In turn, it shows a problem, it's not that you really can't fight, but you don't want to fight.

In addition to the obvious reason for the low combat effectiveness of the guards, the biggest reason is that they don't want to fight.

I was really forced to be in a hurry, and I couldn't do anything.

In addition, the Japanese are afraid that they are also poor and crazy, hungry, and have no scruples, so they dare to fight like this, and the rabbit is in a hurry and bites.

The Japanese are in the hinterland of a foreign country, and what they think about the most in their hearts is that killing one is enough, and killing two to earn one.

And the Ming army avoided it and did not make any efforts, which caused the Ming army to flee with a single sword, even if there were millions of soldiers, it would be useless.

And one of the most important reasons is - self-respect!

Along the way, thousands and hundreds of households in the guards all know what can be done with these dozens of widows?

Thousands, tens of thousands of anti-people have been suppressed, and these dozens of dwarf radishes can destroy them in minutes.

And the key is that only by putting the Japanese in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty can those meat eaters and Qingliu be shocked, and they will urgently need to use the army, thinking of these guards who have been exploited to the point that they can no longer survive.

It is also true that after this ridiculous thousand-mile chase war, the imperial court allocated funds.

There was also Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang Jiangnan to resist Russia.

Therefore, when you reach a position like Chen Jin, if you don't understand politics, you will be "willing to fall".

There is a saying in later generations that if you become the head of the regiment and don't understand the importance of standing in line, then basically the promotion will come to an end.

Chen Jin obviously figured out the way of it, he was a Han man who wanted to stand out under the command of Dolbo, who was full of Manchu generals, so he could only stand out from the crowd, and going out of the city to face the battle was the method he felt was the least invested and the most rewarded.

The strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army is not superior, the advantage lies in firearms, the advantage of the Qing army is that it is backed by the city wall, and it can be withdrawn into the city at any time in an emergency.

In Chen Jin's opinion, no matter how sharp the firearms of the Northern Expeditionary Army are, it is too late to turn around and enter the city, after all, the Northern Expeditionary Army needs to run, how can it catch up with the oil on the soles of their feet?

Why did only 4,000 men go out of the city to fight?

That's because there are more than a thousand crossbowmen on the city wall, and this kind of arrows that cross up and down, how can the Northern Expeditionary Army without armor withstand it?

Of course, this is what Chen Jin thinks is so, and he is very confident.

……。

"How?"

Outside the city, Wu Zheng pointed to the Qing army standing at the city gate, glanced at Lu Zhiyu, and asked.

Lu Zhiyu pretended to be stupid and shook his head, and said in his heart that you are a prince and a general, and you asked me what I was doing.

Wu Zheng saw that Lu Zhiyu ignored this stubble, and said abruptly: "Nacheng, you will lead 3,000 people to attack the city!" ”

When Lu Zhiyu heard this, he was anxious.

Can you not be in a hurry?

Isn't that a joke?

With the phrase "let's attack the city", how many soldiers have to die in vain under the city? You know, the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army are not wearing armor.

"That'...... Lord Wang, didn't you send Song An on a business trip? Lu Zhiyu said with a smile.
