Dolbo stopped, looked at Shen Zhiyuan, and waited for Shen Zhiyuan to continue.

"But I am reenacting the past of the former Ming Dynasty to these people who are in high positions, knowing that the firearms are sharp, but they abandon them for their own selfish interests...... Jishiha, Lanbai and others are among the best. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Zhiyuan looked at Dolbo and said, "You can never wake up someone who pretends to be asleep...... Shizi, if you want a person to have a long memory, you have to let him personally taste the taste of failure, Jixiha, Lanbai and others need this kind of taste to make them remember for a long time, and only in this way can the prince form and expand the firearms army in the future, so as to reduce all kinds of unnecessary obstacles. ”

Dolbo nodded and said, "I remember the good words of the golden jade...... It's just that if Jishiha is defeated, Amma's army of the Second Banner ...... You can't ruin the Second Banner Army in order to make them remember it for a long time, right? ”

Shen Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion...... In this battle, Jixiha was only defeated at most, and he would never break his muscles and bones. ”

Dolbo asked, puzzled, "They all say that the defeat is like a mountain...... Why is it so determined? ”

"Wu Zheng's troops in Xuzhou are insufficient, and it is difficult to supply...... In fact, the financial resources of the General's Mansion have reached the limit, and I have 30,000 troops stationed in Hogunzhou, and Wu Zheng must be scrupulous, otherwise it will be a decisive battle that will never die, this is one of them. In addition, I just got a report that Hangzhou was facing the threat of a combined fleet from overseas, and the reason was that Wu Zheng's general's mansion forcibly requisitioned merchants from various countries to hoard goods for this war, so Wu Zheng had to rush back to Hangzhou immediately to extinguish the fire, and naturally he would not have the energy to fight a decisive battle with our army in Xuzhou. In the end, if Wu Zheng fights a decisive battle with me, both sides will lose and lose, and who will really benefit? ”

Dolbo thought for a moment and said, "Yixing Dynasty...... And Zheng Sen and Yongli Dynasty in the south, right? ”

Shen Zhiyuan nodded with a smile and said, "The prince is really smart, but the prince still misses one." ”

Dolbo's heart moved, and he said, "I'm heading? ”

"That's right. The most beneficial is the imperial court, once our army is damaged, the strength is weakened, the first king wants to occupy the land of the four provinces in order to seek the self-reliance of the prince, it cannot be realized, the court can be an edict, forcing the prince to return to Beijing, and finally the prince may spend his life with a virtual lord, which is still good. ”

Dolbo's face changed, and after thinking for a moment, he finally asked the question he had been worried about, "Are we really going to oppose the court?" ”

Shen Zhiyuan was solemn and said to Dolbo solemnly: "Before the bones of the first king are cold, has the son forgotten the revenge of killing his father?" ”

Dolbo said: "But Ama is in the hands of Wu Zheng. ”

"No!" Shen Zhiyuan categorically retorted, "If it weren't for the imperial court and Prince Ying who didn't save him when he saw death, how could Xuzhou be occupied by Wu Zheng?" If it weren't for the court's desire to get rid of the prince and then hurry up, how could the prince rather die than return to the capital? The prince was forced to death by the imperial court! There is no doubt about this! ”

Dolbo nodded stunned, "What you said is reasonable, but ...... But I don't want to go to war with the imperial court. ”

Shen Zhiyuan said abruptly: "I didn't say that I wanted to rebel, and the prince didn't mean that...... What the prince means is that it will stand according to the four mansions and fight against the imperial court...... In fact, according to the identity of the prince, there are fewer ...... in these four prefectures The prince can be a fief and a domain. ”

Dolbo listened and laughed, "Listening to what the forehead said, it's also reasonable." Ama is the regent of the emperor's father, and there should be a place for Amma in this world, and it is even more common sense for me to inherit my father's shadow as a son. ”

……。

Wu Zheng is not an immortal after all, and he can completely predict every detail of the battlefield.

For example, the Qing army had heavily armored ironclad soldiers.

The projectile of the musket, if it hits, will be a spark.

Only a frontal hit can inflict a certain amount of damage on the enemy.

Ji Xiha is not stupid, and if he has not prevented the firearms of the Northern Expeditionary Army by this time, then he really deserves to die.

Jixiha's deployment was decent, of course, this refers to the way the Qing army fought.

Three hundred heavy armored soldiers ascended first, followed by three thousand infantry to climb the wall, and finally one thousand crossbowmen pressed the formation, this formation, according to Wu Zheng's words, was unchanged for thirty years.

But it was this formation that made the Northern Expeditionary Army suffer enough.

Suppress it with the Tiger Squat Cannon, the shrapnel that explodes and splashes will not cause damage to the ironclad soldiers at all, unless it hits directly.

Closer, enter the range of the musket, hit the ironclad first, the bullets are wasted, but the infantry behind is out of range, and there are ironclad soldiers in the way.

Bring it a little closer, well, the enemy archers are on the move, and it's a war of attrition that hurts each other.

This time, the defender of Huling City was Yue Xiaolin, the deputy captain of Wu Zheng's personal guard.

When this Yue Xiaolin was in the military academy, he was not as good as Lu Jincai in fighting, Shi Kun in running, and not as good as Qi Jiahao in shooting, but he had a characteristic and was good at learning.

This may sound contradictory, but in fact, there are quite a few such people.

Congenital deficiencies make them inferior to others in everything, but if they want to survive, they must pay twice as much or even several times as hard as others.

The reason why Yue Xiaolin was able to stand out and become the deputy captain of Wu Zheng's personal guard team was that Wu Zheng saw this advantage of him.

If you don't send Lu Jincai, the captain, but send Yue Xiaolin, Wu Zheng naturally has his considerations.

After a brief period of paralysis, Yue Xiaolin quickly ordered to stop shooting at the ironclad soldiers, and he asked the defenders to put the three hundred heavily armored soldiers on the tower.

This order is indeed abrupt, even dangerous.

You must know that Huling City is small, and the city tower is naturally small, and the city tower that can accommodate 800 defenders is already crowded.

If the ironclad soldiers are allowed to go up to the tower, the consequences will be really unimaginable.

Therefore, Yue Xiaolin's order is extremely controversial!

Due to Yue Xiaolin's "private indulgence", the enemy's ironclad soldiers almost successfully climbed the city wall.

The defenders on the tower of the city have retreated far away, almost shooting at the ironclad soldiers, and throwing dense grenades, but the ironclad soldiers are not only iron-armed, but even the face mask is iron, and after the smoke and dust clear, except for a dozen or so really unlucky eggs, perhaps shrapnel splashed, hitting their gaps, nine times out of ten are standing intact, and then the ironclad soldiers step by step with heavy steps, pressing towards the defenders.

And under the city wall, the enemy infantry who had reached the city wall began to climb the wall, and the archers began to shoot indiscriminately at the city tower, too, muskets and grenades could not help the ironclad soldiers, and the arrows were tickling.

Casualties of the defenders began to appear.

The situation is at stake.

Is Yue Xiaolin stupid?

He's certainly not stupid!

If he is stupid and orders him to be a guard, wouldn't Wu Zheng be even more stupid?

Yue Xiaolin is good at learning and imitating, and at the same time learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and improving in learning and imitation.

This is something that Lu Jincai, Shi Kun and other military cadets do not have.
