Back at the barracks, Chen Wen toasted the soldiers as usual. In fact, a banquet was organized yesterday, but at that time, because Dongyang County had not yet fallen, it was only rewarded with some meat, and wine was exempted. And now that the city has been taken, there is no Qing army in Zuo Jin who can fight with him, so there is nothing wrong with proper drinking.

After saluting one by one, Chen Wen was also a little drunk, and when he returned to the main seat to have some food, he got up and returned to the room where he lived.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and Chen Wen, who has drunk a lot of wine on an empty stomach, walked on the dirt road in the camp under the command of his own soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Toasting at the celebration banquet is a practice that Chen Wen has continued to this day since the celebration banquet after his victory in the competition with Zhongying on Dalan Mountain, but when he recalls that celebration banquet, he has a kind of sigh of wrongness.

At this moment, it is August 29 of the fifth year of the Yongli calendar, and more than a year has passed since that celebration banquet. At that time, the garrison of the middle battalion, who was the opponent, had already been martyred, and even the people who watched the ceremony on the point platform were very small.

In the first battle on the shore of Siming Lake, Huang Zhongdao was martyred, Shen Tiaolun and others were nowhere to be found, and Wang Yi was captured as much as possible, even now there is no news of his martyrdom, but Chen Wen knows that Wang Yi will never surrender, so he is bound to embrace the coming of fate as in history.

After that battle, Feng Jingdi was dedicated to the Qing army by Wang Sheng as in history, and died unyieldingly; Chu Suxian was beheaded for absconding for robbing silver, and his brother Chu Jiuru became a monk after that; Even the surviving Mao Mingshan broke away from the Ming army sequence of Dalan Mountain, and has since disappeared without a trace.

It's just that the deceased is long gone, and the living are like Sifu. After this period of hard work, after the evacuation from Siming Mountain, the only remaining remnants of the Ming army finally regained a base area after nearly a year of the capture of Dalan Mountain for the Qing army.

Finally, a new life has been ushered in.

The celebration banquet in the camp was still going on, and Chen Wen drank some tea for sobering up, and began to think about how to proceed next.

According to the agreement with Wang Jiang before setting off from Tiantai Mountain, Chen Wenhui will send messengers after occupying Dongyang County, and the old battalion will also be led by Wu Dengke, the chief soldier in charge of staying in the old battalion, after receiving the news, to Dongyang County, and the road they took was discovered by Li Ruixin, another deputy general who stayed behind, with that part of the cavalry, which was more suitable for large-scale migration.

It's just that as early as yesterday, after defeating the main force of the Qing army, Chen Wen had already sent a messenger after consciously overestimating the ability of the Qing army in Jinhua Mansion. The messengers who set out from Li Zhai Town would ride their horses along the avenue and go straight to the temporary old camp on Tiantai Mountain.

And now, for Chen Wen, all that remains is how to occupy a larger territory before Wang Jiang arrives, and then roll the snowball with his excellent administrative ability and Chen Wen's knowledge and ideas that are ahead of the world in military affairs.

Of course, even the most advanced ideas are just a bunch of delusions if they can't match the traditions and technologies of the current era. As a result, Chen Wen summoned a few officers and soldiers of the Qing army who had been selected by Yin Yue overnight to absorb the experience of a wave of decadent and backward cold-weapon armies in attacking and defending the city.

When the officers and soldiers who had been defeated by the Qing army were led to Chen Wen's residence, Chen Wen had already recorded his personal experience during the siege of the city on manuscript paper. This is his habit of recording all his experience, taking the essence of it, removing the dross, and then popularizing the training, so as to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the army.

Seeing those Qing troops, Chen Wen didn't bother to say anything to them, but only to test their knowledge of siege and city defense.

It's just that the Nantang Battalion in the previous battle really scared them, and now Chen Wen asked them about the relevant knowledge and experience of attacking and defending the city, and these people thought that Chen Wen was testing their abilities, and then cleaning up the threats. In the case of "don't dare" to no avail, he also didn't dare to open up.

It's just that although Chen Wen drank some wine, his brain was still very clear, and he found the trickiness in it when he listened to it. Seeing this, Chen Wenzai expressed the attitude that he wanted to hear all the experience of these Qing troops, and at the same time took out a dozen notes, both red and white, thinking that it was a reward for this.

Chen Wen had promised before the siege battle began that he would decide the treatment of these Qing troops according to the notes, one red one is equal to three white faces, and the more notes in his hand, the more Qing troops in his hand, the more things they have done for the Ming army, and the treatment will naturally be better.

With such a simple truth, the Qing army naturally did not make much effort to accept it, so when it was found that Chen Wen was not very stingy with food and water for those who were willing to work hard, the credit of these currencies was easily established.

Seeing that Chen Wen took out the note, these Qing soldiers no longer hesitated, and hurriedly poured out everything they knew, lest they be executed by the Ming army in the future because they said one or two less words at this moment.

However, several people said together that Chen Wen still couldn't parry, so they could only let them take turns to say one by one, and every time they said something worth adopting, they could get a note on the spot, and there was nothing meaningless or repeated with the previous one. In this way, everyone has the opportunity, and in order to win more notes, these soldiers will say as much as they can in their hearts, just like a prisoner's dilemma.

But when it comes to it, those two officers still have to take advantage of it......

"Chen Dashuai, as far as sinners know, there are many ways to attack the city, such as Wang Shi's ant attachment to attack the city is the right way, you can also dig tunnels to enter the city, you can also burn the tower wall, you can even send the inner to grab the city gate, and you can even use cannons to open the city gate, sinners think of these for a while, in fact, there are still some."

"Then the defenders don't have the means to deal with it?"

"Of course, there are many ways to deal with the siege of the city, digging tunnels can also be done by turning the water tank upside down near the city wall, listening with a person with excellent hearing or dumb listening, once you find the location of the excavated tunnel, dig a trench in the city, or kill the digging enemy with smoke or water, and then block it. Even if the city gate is opened, it can be blocked with a knife cart that plugs the door. ”

"Oh."

The content of the degraded officer's account was very rich and detailed, and after Chen Wen took notes, he handed him a red note and a white note, and turned to look at the next degraded officer.

"Tell Chen Dashuai, the sinner thinks that it is right for Wang Shi to pay attention to the speed of soldiers in this siege, but if he besieges the siege city in the future, he still needs to prepare more siege equipment."

"What do you think works better?"

The officer didn't really think about it at this time, but just looked at a few of his comrades who were eyeing him next to him, and he still said what he thought of first.

"Wang Shi is on the right way to use ladders and chariots this time, in fact, he can also use nest carts to carry birds and crossbowmen to suppress the tartars at the head of the city, and of course he can also use catapults."

Chaoche Chen Wen can understand that in addition to suppressing the role of the defending troops, he can also observe the enemy's situation, but ......

"Why use a catapult?"

The officer bowed, and then shook off his burden. "It's to deal with the use of the Yin Gate Array by the defenders in the city."

The so-called Yin Gate Array is to have a woman stand naked in front of the formation or above the city, which is used to interfere with the firing of the opponent's firearms or to disable the opponent's firearms with the yin symbolized by women.

This tactic sounds ridiculous, especially since the idea of suppressing the burning of gunpowder with the energy of yin is full of feudal superstition. It's just that in history, the matter of interfering with firearm firing has really been successful, and even in the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam, Vietnam once used female soldiers to go into battle naked, which is also an extension of the Yin Gate Formation in modern warfare.

Of course, although this formation is mysterious, it is not without restraint.

"Is it possible to use the method of sprinkling dog blood or burning sheep's horns to restrain the Yin Gate Array, or to set up the Yang Gate Array to restore the use of firearms?"

Hearing Chen Wen's words, those Qing soldiers immediately stood in awe, the Ming army commander in front of him was really proficient in the art of war, no wonder he could easily defeat them.

"Chen Dashuai is wise, if the Tartars use the Yin Gate Array, Wang Shida can use the Yang Gate Array to fight against them. In order to ensure safety, the sinner thought that it was better to invite some monks to break the formation in front of the formation, and it was best to use black dogs for dog blood, so as to ensure the vigor of yang energy. ”

Seeing that the officer seemed to be going to continue, Chen Wen waved his hand and said that he knew this formation very well, and without saying more, he took out a red note and handed it to the officer, after all, the nest car that this guy had mentioned before was still relatively reliable. As for correcting this misconception, forget it, is it necessary for him Chen Wen to popularize science for these Qing army soldiers?

In contrast, the soldiers who came with them were far less knowledgeable about siege and defense than the officers, but they were at the forefront of siege and defense warfare, and they still had a lot of experience, such as......

"Chen Dashuai, the sinner thinks that this rolling wood and stone during the siege is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is the gold juice, as long as that thing sticks a little, it is likely to lose its life, it is really powerful."

The golden juice here is not the kind of Chinese medicine that clears away heat and detoxifies, but uses boiled feces and urine to douse the besieging enemy army, which can not only burn the enemy army, but also kill the wounded by infecting the wound. Although this kind of city defense weapon sounds disgusting, it is quite practical.

In this way, Chen Wen tossed for most of the night, and finally squeezed these Qing soldiers clean, and the satisfied Chen Wen not only collected his notes, but also asked the officers who escorted them to take these equally satisfied Qing soldiers into custody again.

………………

In the early morning of the next day, after hiding in a hidden place for a night, it was found that the Ming army was not following, and Ma San Province began to ride his horse with his own soldiers, heading straight for Yiwu. As long as he arrives in Yiwu, he can smoothly return to Fucheng from there and organize defenses to wait for Ma Jinbao to return to the division.

Riding on the road, the mind of the three provinces of Ma is still the events of the past few days.

The Ming army in this battle was really cunning and unimaginable, so it first sneaked into Dongyang County by disguised as a bandit, and defeated the defenders after luring them out; After that, he was not in a hurry to capture the city, but waited for him to lead the main force to arrive and change his clothes to reveal his true appearance; and then relied on the Qing army's fear of the plan and the mandarin duck array to defeat it; In the end, he drove the Qing army to attack the city, and sent a team of meticulous troops into the city to sabotage, resulting in most of his cavalry not escaping from the county......

The difficulty of this Ming army general is indeed the only thing he has seen in the army for so many years, so he must hurry back to Fucheng and restrain him before it sweeps the entire Jinhua Mansion and even western Zhejiang, so as to buy time for Ma Jinbao's reinforcements.

Thinking of this, Ma Sanxing whipped the beloved horse under his crotch fiercely, as if to vent the resentment in his heart, or to drive away the panic in his mind, and more to speed up the speed, so as to return to Jinhua Mansion City as soon as possible.

But at this moment, his eyes broke through the early morning mist, and a military general wearing armor and holding a horse lance stood proudly.

Seeing Ma Sansheng coming with his own soldiers riding horses, he only heard the military general shouting: "General Ma, Chen Guobao, the pioneer under the command of the general, has been waiting here for a long time on the orders of my marshal!" ”
