643 Self-knowledge (5th Update)
So, Chen Jisheng immediately called Jin Bishu and the villager surnamed Pu, and walked aside to whisper.
Jin Bishu and the others listened to his somewhat vague words and guessed what he meant, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy. They didn't expect that they could really become the subjects of the kingdom. Doesn't that mean that there is hope for the days ahead?
When they think about it, they get excited. They hurriedly told Chen Jisheng that they would definitely contact like-minded people in many ways and present the Book of All People to the country together.
But after a while, Jin Bishu suddenly came back to his senses, and the happy look on his face disappeared suddenly. When the villager surnamed Pu saw it, he asked a little surprised: "Mayor of the town, what's wrong?" ”
Chen Jisheng didn't know why, looking at him, thinking that he wanted to regret it, his face was a little unsightly.
I saw Jin Bishu pointing in the direction of Jin Puzhen with his hand, although he didn't speak, the meaning he wanted to express was very clear, there was a fight over there, if the Ming army lost, what would he talk about later!
When the others saw it, they all turned to look in the direction of Jin Puzhen and were silent. Chen Jisheng came back to his senses first and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will definitely win." ”
Jin Bishu and the others nodded, but looking at their expressions, they could actually know that they were really a little worried. But it was clear that there was nothing they could do, and the only thing they could do was pray.
At this time, in Jinpu Town, Cao Bianjiao couldn't sit still anymore after hearing the sound of horses' hooves, so he left the house and happened to see Lu Xiangsheng returning to the town in triumph. He hurriedly caught up, and saw that Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses didn't seem to have anything to do, so he was relieved.
However, when he saw that Lu Xiangsheng's face seemed to be tired, and then he looked at his subordinates, they were also tired, and he suddenly understood. In the harassment battle of the past few days, although they are better than Jianyu, they have also not rested. Now that I've been fighting for a while, it's no wonder if I'm not tired!
Cao Bianjiao naturally knew that what Lu Xiangsheng did was creating conditions for the new army. Even what Lu Xiangsheng has done has far exceeded the previous plan. He understood that he was afraid that he would not have such a big face, and the reason why Lu Xiangsheng was so desperate to create conditions for the new army was because the new army was the emperor's new army, and it was the new army that the emperor had high hopes for. The first battle after its establishment must be won, preferably a big victory, so that the emperor can explain it.
Thinking about it like this, Cao Bianjiao felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy. Even Lu Xiangsheng is like this, he is deeply favored by the emperor, if he doesn't behave better, why go back to face the king!
"Lord Zhongcheng, you and the hussar battalion should go and rest, and leave the rest to the new army. The last general guarantees that he will be able to defeat Jianyu and seize the grain! Cao Bianjiao took a few steps to meet Lu Xiangsheng, and said sincerely with his fists.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, a smile appeared on his face, but he still shook his head and said: "It's okay, when Jianyu's grain truck arrives, you don't need to say it, this official will let the new army behave!" ”
After Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, he let the hussar camp rest, and he strode up to the wall again, took the telescope from Gao Yingyuan, who came up, and observed the actions of the prisoner.
Cao Bianjiao silently followed him, helpless, so he also took out his binoculars and looked in the direction of the official road. He hoped that he would soon see the grain wagons and that the new army would be able to go into battle soon.
"It seems that Duoduo is a little hairy boy after all, he is unwilling to suffer a big loss, and he is preparing for the next siege!" Lu Xiangsheng looked at it for a while, put down the binoculars, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
When Cao Bianjiao was on the wall, he could still see the Jianyu faction cleaning up the dead bodies on the battlefield, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he looked at the number. In the past, I had been in the Guanning army for so long, and I had never seen so many corpses.
The most important thing is that he can see at a glance that most of those corpses are real Manchurian Tatars. With so many deaths at once, it's no wonder that Dodor was so angry that he wanted to organize an attack right away!
"Hehe, Lord Zhongcheng has killed so many enemies, it's really amazing!" Cao Bianjiao praised sincerely.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he turned his head to look at the wall, looked at his subordinates, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "If it weren't for the backing of your new army, not to mention the war in the back, even the battle in front wouldn't be so easy." Look at the Dongjiang army of this officer, how tired they have become! In the battle just now, if it weren't for the archers of the new army participating in the battle, it is likely that the Jianyu would have attacked the town! ”
He is obviously different from ordinary civilian officials, he has the straightforwardness of a military general, one thing to say, two to say two, and point out the merits of the new army.
Lu Xiangsheng turned his head, looked at the camp outside the town, and said with emotion: "According to the official's estimate, if there is no new army, and the town is only the official's Dongjiang army, at most, resist a wave of Jianyu's attack, and next time, it will definitely not be able to stop it." Jianyu's strength is indeed very strong! ”
When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he was about to defend one or two times, when he saw Gao Yingyuan suddenly speak: "The emperor's will, this battle should not be delayed for a long time." The longer it is, the more unfavorable it will be for our army. To bring the grain back to Phi Island, it will take at least one day to predict the trip! ”
The original plan was to start the battle tomorrow, preferably within a day. However, he didn't expect that Jianyu would send a forward battalion directly to Jinpu Town. In this way, the war was brought forward. The plan changed, and Emperor Chongzhen, as the one in control of the overall situation, reminded the two generals concerned and told them not to forget the time.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he immediately nodded. Just behind Jin Puzhen, the official road will fork, and there is a smaller road that leads to the sea, although the horseback riding is fast, but if it is a grain cart, it will be at least a day trip. That is to say, the Ming army not only had to defeat Jianyu and capture the grain wagon, but also spend another day transporting grain, and if the grain and army were added to the ship, it would have to take another day.
So, Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Bianjiao discussed the battle plan again to see what should be appropriately changed. While they were discussing, Liu Xingzhi suddenly pointed to the outside of the town and said, "Lord Zhongcheng, I'm afraid that Jianyu is going to attack the town gate!" ”
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he hurriedly took the telescope that was given to him just now and looked over to Jianyu. Sure enough, this time, Jianyu was not only building a new shield, but also made a few thick ramming logs, whether it was hitting the town gate or the wall, it was okay.
Not only that, but he also saw that in the Jianyu army, those Korean officers and Han soldiers arrived at the front of the Jianyu camp, and they were eating dry food at this time. As long as you have a little experience, you can see that the next attack, I am afraid that those North Korean officers and Han troops will take the lead.
"Lord Zhongcheng, this is Jianyu's usual trick!" Liu Xingzhi had been on both sides of the enemy and me, so he was naturally familiar with Jianyu's attack methods, and hurriedly explained, "This siege method like Jianyu will have more casualties, but it can consume the defender's energy the most, and it is easy to create opportunities for the Jianyu elite behind, next time, I am afraid that they will attack it!" ”
