Section 94 Withdrawal of Troops from Jianning (1)
Bolo holds a clairvoyant mirror in his hand. Bolo may be twenty-five years old, but he still retains a curiosity. He is more interested in all new things, for example, the Xiaofei Divine Crossbow he found last time, if it weren't for the ball bearing that couldn't be made, he would definitely have to follow the military craftsmen to imitate dozens of pieces, and he still heard the name "Xiaofei Divine Crossbow" from the mouth of the captured Ming army. He had been wondering what kind of character could come up with this thing? "Xiaofei" should be a personal name, but what is this Xiaofei's surname, no one even knows how many people asked.
Just like the "clairvoyant mirror" in his hand since the Ming army took it, he has been staying by his side, this has always been due to the reinforcements have not arrived, and the grain and grass are not enough because of the rugged mountain roads, and the most important thing is that he has not yet figured out a way to deal with the "flying crossbow" siege city, that must be to the soldiers brave the rolling wood and stones, flying arrows and ash bottles to climb the ladder and bravely go up to the city. But he saw it, there is this flying crossbow, don't think about it, as long as there are two or three bodies on each section of the city wall, how many people you go to are in vain, not to mention the siege, it is luck to be able to climb the ladder, not to mention that there may be some strange things on the top of the city, the captured Ming soldiers all said that it is just such a flying crossbow, and there are no other strange things, Bolo no longer believes it. What do you think, the last time Gushan Ezhen Tulai led the cavalry to attack the city, he was driven back by ten strange cars and couldn't even reach the city wall. "No, it's no wonder" was his conclusion on the matter.
He carefully adjusted the "clairvoyant mirror", because he saw that there was also a person in the city holding the "clairvoyant mirror" and looking at his camp. For some reason, he told himself in his heart that that person was the enemy commander, the son who took advantage of Zheng Zhilong's absence to return to the camp to take the handsome position. Speaking of which, he was quite comfortable with Zheng Sen's decision, and he knew that such a person was not easy to deal with.
Zheng Sen used a clairvoyant mirror (monocular) to look at the Qing soldier company camp in the distance outside Jianning City.
I know that this marshal of the Qing army is really a person who is good at managing soldiers, you just look at these companies and battalions he has set up, not only the law is strict, the rules are neat, but also the advance and retreat are well-founded. This Bolo really has to be considered a handsome material.
Looking at it, Huang Shan, the former general of the army, came behind him, and said behind him: "Marshal, the generals have all arrived in the lobby of the Marshal's Mansion, just waiting for the marshal to go in and speak."
Zheng Sen took the clairvoyant mirror, his eyes did not leave the Qing army camp, and replied: "Okay, let's go ......." ”
Since Zheng Sen hadn't come back yet, the people in the room were all talking there, and the tent was full of buzzing voices.
Li Gang stabbed Liu Tao on the side, "Hey, did you say it, we're going to withdraw to Yanping"
Liu Tao was quite surprised and said, "No! This Jianning is well guarded, after having that kind of flying crossbow, the Tartars are afraid, you haven't seen this and haven't come to fight much, just disturbing near our grain road.
"Who knows! Anyway, I heard about it, and we're leaving, alas! It's just that they pity the people of Jianning, don't they have to keep braids? ”
The person who said it was full of sighs, and the person who listened was also embarrassed at a glance.
The guard outside the door shouted: "The handsome man has arrived."
The original humming in the room suddenly disappeared, and they all stood up and stood with their hands down, showing extraordinary respect.
On the Zhongjun Hall, more than a dozen generals sat in columns, and their waists were straight.
In these days in Jianning, Zheng Sen was not idle, and first vigorously installed his cronies. It is true that Dad has left a large army for himself, but some of them are not of the same mind as themselves, so at this juncture, cronyism is inevitable, and if you really want to recognize people, you must not carry out it until the battle situation is slightly stabilized.
After Zheng Senjing walked back to the handsome case, he sat down and said, "Everyone, please sit"
After everyone sat down, he said strangely: "Generals, I think you have all heard that the military department wants us to withdraw to Yanping as soon as possible, I don't know what you think, I want to hear it." ”
Hong Xu is a brave general on the field, and he is a loyal person under Zheng Sen, and he also heard what those old qualified people said. Now that I hear the handsome man say it himself, it doesn't feel good in my heart.
If you want to say that the original defense of Jianning can be said to be a battle of tired soldiers. But since the last time Yanping sent the Xiaofei God Crossbow, he has won another battle. Later, the Tartars were defeated in several sieges, except for the use of the flying crossbow to seize the car formation outside the city with all the arrows saved, but they were beaten back again, and both sides were killed and wounded.
At present, the arrows that have been continuously transported from Yanping are enough, and now as long as there are arrows, there is not much problem in guarding this Jianning. So as soon as he heard Zheng Sen's words, he was the first to stand up and bow down and salute: "Dashuai, now that the defense of Jianning is solid, it is like abandoning the people and retreating to Yanping for no reason, as if he was afraid of those Tartars outside the city." Marshal, if our army does not have sufficient reasons to withdraw from Jianning, and when I return to Yanping, I am afraid that I will be angry with the people of the military department. ”
After speaking, it doesn't matter whether he says it clearly or not, just sit down and sulk.
Huang Shan is a scheming person among Zheng Sen's cronies, so Zheng Sen also relies on him very much. He knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to say that Jianning would still be guarded, but now that the Tartar army is pressing, coupled with the poor grain road, this Jianning seems to be able to hold it for a while, but it can't be held for a lifetime, and those Tartars are afraid that they will only wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and they will cut off the grain route, and then take Jianning will be like taking something in a bag, so this Jianning can't be defended.
So he just stood up and said softly: "Dashuai, it's better to go." ”
Li Gang and the others were secretly relieved when they heard what he said, they didn't want to stay here, but they weren't Zheng Sen's cronies, so they didn't want to say it, and what if the people of Jianning left now.
As soon as Hong Xu heard that Huang Shan agreed to go, the fire in his stomach lit up and shouted, "Then don't the people of Jianning want it?" I Hong Xu can't do this kind of thing, you all go, and I have to guard this Jianning alone. ”
Zheng Sen brought up this matter to see the reaction of the generals, and fortunately gave them a score of three, six, nine and so on in his heart, which was good, so that Hong Xu was stunned, and said loudly in his heart: "Sit down, Hong Xu will see what you look like." ”
Zheng Sen lost his temper in one sentence and sat down obediently, although he was still full of resentment, he didn't dare to show it again.
"After listening to everyone's words, I am very gratified, and the generals still put the people in their hearts. This time, the Ministry of War also thought of this, so the Ministry of War meant to let the people withdraw first, this Jianning wanted to fortify the wall and clear the field to the Tartars without leaving a blade of grass, including the city wall here, the demolition that can be demolished, the explosion that cannot be demolished, anyway, it is right for him to make a thousand holes, the houses and wells in the city must be dealt with, and the military department only gave us five days, let's discuss it, that is, to take the people but also go unknowingly, what kind of way is this? ”
