Standing at the head of the city, Zhu Youzhen was very depressed.

Yes, Zhang Pan's statement should be correct.

As the commander of Fort Arthur, he should not have taken the risk of stealing the camp until he had to.

If the main generals all go into battle in person, the situation will definitely reach the point where it is irreparable and can only fight desperately.

Tonight's operation, which is said to be a surprise attack, is actually a harassing nature, and the Ming army is not really going to fight a decisive battle with Houjin.

According to Zhang Pan, even if the raid reached the most ideal situation, the Ming army would just take advantage of the chaos to burn part of the grain and grass of the Zhenglan Banner.

The biggest benefit of the raid was only the burning of part of the grain and grass of the Zhenglan Banner; The surprise attack on the Ming army risked being surrounded and annihilated by the Zhenglan Banner.

With this risk-benefit ratio, how can Zhang Pan, who is the main general, take this risk personally?

After all, Fort Arthur is not yet at the point where it is precarious and must be taken a risk.

is such a reason, but why does Zhu Youzhen still feel that his heart is empty?

Is it because your dream of being a hero has been shattered?

"Your Highness, look, there is the camp of the Blue Flag."

Zhu Youzhen's voice came from Zhang Pan's ears, and Zhu Youzhen subconsciously raised the telescope and looked at the place pointed by Zhang Pan.

Zhang Pan diligently pointed to the direction of Houjin Yingzhai against the light of the lights, and took the initiative to introduce Zhu Youzhen.

King Xin's disappointed mood can be felt by Zhang Pan completely. But in this regard, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Shinwang, who is only 16 or 7 years old, is still young!

He had never experienced the war himself, but his heart was still full of blood. King Shin still doesn't understand that war is not a game or a game as he imagined.

In a real war, every decision made by the commander must be considered for the outcome of the entire war.

The war is won by the right and the odd.

If you don't have a regular soldier as a foundation, it's very dangerous to simply surprise the soldier.

Therefore, generally, only as a last resort, generals will choose to use risky tricks.

What is Conspiracy?

Trickery is all about winning by surprise.

Only when the sword goes off the rails and takes the road that ordinary people dare not take is called a surprise soldier.

But the conspiracy is often a gambling style of play that leads to endless benefits if you succeed and annihilates the whole army if you lose.

The nature of these intrigues doomed the generals not and did not dare to use them lightly.

In the past dynasties, there will never be a general who will risk the annihilation of the whole army to use any tricks when he occupies the throne.

Most of the generals who have the advantage will only be like him, and when they see the enemy's flaws, they will send a surprise army in a targeted manner.

If you win by surprise, you can continue to accumulate advantages for your side; If the surprise army is defeated, at least it must not damage the foundation of its own side.

Cold, right?

But this is the way of thinking of a qualified commander.

Lushun is now in a very stable defensive position, and there is no need for an all-out gamble. Tonight's raid was only to expand the defensive advantage of the Ming army, and Zhang Pan certainly couldn't take this risk himself.

In case a plate is lost in Houjin Yingzhai, Lushun, who has lost his main general, will fall into passivity.

Zhang Pan knew that his actions had poured a huge basin of cold water on King Xin, a hot-blooded young man, and now he needed to actively repair the relationship with King Xin.

If nothing else, just these magical things that can affect the battle situation brought by King Xin are enough for Zhang Pan to put down his body and flatter King Xin.

As for the unspoken rule that the general can't befriend the vassal king, let's wait until he leaves Liaodong alive.

In the night, with Zhang Pan's guidance, Zhu Youzhen used a telescope to find the specific building of the Houjinzheng Blue Banner camp.

However, if you want to distinguish the part of Houjin Yingzhai that you see in the telescope, it is much beyond Zhu Youzhen's ability.

It's a pity, but it would have been nice if it had been a night vision telescope.

While regretting, Zhu Youzhen handed the telescope to Zhang Pan.

After taking the telescope and observing it carefully for a while, Zhang Pan said excitedly to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Highness, great, it seems that the Tartars are not prepared in the slightest, and we have nine percent hope of success now." ”

Ninety percent?

Thinking back to what he had just seen, in the dark, Zhu Youzhen couldn't remember what was so special about the Zhenglanqi camp.

It seems that the way this general and ordinary people see things is still very different!

seemed to hear Zhu Youzhen's heart, and Zhang Pan's voice sounded in Zhu Youzhen's ears in time: "Your Highness, the camp of the Tartars has not changed much compared to the afternoon.

If there is no change, it means that the Tartars have not adjusted any of their deployments. That's the best news. ”

Compared to the afternoon?

Hearing Zhang Pan's explanation, he was full of joy and excitement. Zhu Youzhen began to think back to what he had seen in the afternoon.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Youzhen suddenly found that he didn't seem to have any impression of Houjin Yingzhai in the afternoon.

Uh, well, I'm sure I don't have a talent for memorization.

Zhu Youzhen, who couldn't think of it, just gave up and wasted his brain.

"General Zhang, it's better for you to explain what you see to Lone."

In this dark night, Zhu Youzhen simply stopped taking back the telescope and let Zhang Pan watch the battle in the mirror. Zhu Youzhen felt that instead of watching it himself, it was better to choose to listen to the live broadcast simply and clearly.

"Your Highness, I can't see the specific situation now. The humble only knows that the Yongzi battalion has not yet rushed into the camp. ”

Zhang Pan unceremoniously held up the telescope and issued the first broadcast of the surprise attack scene.

Biting a small wooden stick in his mouth, Wang Daniu slowly crawled close to the camp of Zhenglan Banner against the ground.

The camp of Zhenglanqi is very orderly, although there is no trench, but a large number of wooden antlers are laid outside the camp.

What Wang Da Niu is doing now is to clear a safe passage for the Yongzi camp in the antlers.

Carefully pried off the antlers in front of him, looking at the camp in front of him, Wang Da Niu breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that several brothers behind him had already followed, Wang Daniu reached out and took out a fire fold from his arms and blew it lightly.

The brethren followed, indicating that the path in the antlers had been widened enough for three men to attack.

Wang Da Niu drew a big circle in the air with the fire fold in his hand.

Seeing the signal, the soldiers of the Yongzi Battalion used their hands and feet together, clinging to the ground and crawling towards the Blue Flag camp.

The Zhenglan Banner camp is based on the rejection of horses tied with logs as the wall. When waiting for the arrival of the Yongzi camp, Wang Daniu carefully observed everything in the camp through the gap between the horses.

As Wang Daniu, who is in Zhangpan's pro-army, he actually didn't have to participate in this raid. However, the bitter hatred for the Tartars still made Wang Daniu forcibly participate in the operation of the Yongzi Battalion.

The Yongzi battalion is the head of a battalion that hates the Tartars the most in the Lushun Ming army. There are only more than 100 people in the Yongzi battalion, and all of them have a deep blood feud with the Tartars.

On the battlefield of fighting Tartars, the Yongzi battalion has always been the most fearless and crazy in the Lushun Ming army, and there is no one.

Going deep into the Tartar camp and carrying out a near-mortal mission, only the Yongzi battalion in the Lushun Ming army can undertake.
