Kong Bangguo was stunned, he really didn't expect Chen Liang to think so far, this is the self-proclaimed literati and soldiers, he really didn't expect it, now what he thinks about all day long is how to reduce casualties, how to take Niuzhuang, now he is a little discouraged, sometimes secretly thinking behind his back, even if he can't take Niuzhuang all the way, it doesn't matter, anyway, in the entire military plan, his own way is just a feint, hoping to mobilize the main force of Huang Taiji to run for his life, and then look for opportunities in Huang Taiji's exhaustion, annihilating his main force of the Manchurian Eight Banners.

And at this time, as soon as Chen Liang reminded him, Kong Bangguo's back was in a cold sweat, this is indeed the case, the original strategic plan was based on Huang Taiji's trapping in Liaodong, who would have thought that Huang Taiji would have such a big strategic mind? Regardless of the safety of Liaodong, he sent light cavalry to attack the Beijing Division, at the political level, as a Wenchen who likes infighting the most, everyone knows it, but everyone thinks that Lu Hanqiang's methods are clever, and they are full of confidence that he can defeat those ghostly tricks.

And in the military struggle, in fact, all the conspiracies and tricks are jokes in the face of absolute strength, this time, Lu Hanqiang returned to Gyeonggi, only with the little fat man's 20,000 cavalry, he was facing the powerful Manchurian Eight Banners 40,000 horses, and what is even more terrifying is that it is possible to guard against the small actions made up by Emperor Chongzhen, and also to guard against those friendly troops who don't know what to think in their hearts.

The lessons of the last Gyeonggi Battle are there, how can it not be terrifying? If his three armies in Liaodong really don't break through a point, let the four Manchurian Eight Banners that are still in the hands of Huang Taiji rush into Gyeonggi again, then his own superintendent will be really dangerous, if he falls, then the entire great cause of recovering Liao will be completely hopeless, and the entire Ming Dynasty will once again return to the original internal and external troubles, then as Lu Hanqiang often said, the Han nation will fall into dire straits, and the era of slavery for barbarians.

Kong Bangguo smashed his head one by one, deeply regretting his incompetence.

At this time, the surrounding area was already surrounded by the soldiers of the Fuliao Army, and they watched the two chief officers kneeling there and tearing each other, and everyone's expressions were tired.

Yes, it was exhaustion, and the high-intensity attack that had not slept for more than ten days had exhausted the physical strength of all the soldiers. And the most important thing is to consume the patience of all the soldiers, and this is the most terrible, an army is not afraid of casualties, not afraid of hard fighting, afraid of losing the confidence to win, afraid of losing the patience to hold on to the last five minutes.

And these exhausted and impatient soldiers, in the past two days, the reinforcements propagated by Kong Bangguo are about to arrive, and the red-clothed cannons and the Franco cannons are also about to arrive, under such propaganda, but the soldiers are even more discouraged, in the hearts of all the soldiers, the main general Chen Liang resolutely carried out the attack on Niuzhuang, but it was a waste of the soldiers' lives in vain, but it was a reckless approach, which was irresponsible.

As a result, under this mentality, the entire Fuliao Army actually had a lot of complaints about Chen Liang's command, which further reduced the morale of the entire Fuliao Army to attack.

As a result, today, when everyone saw Kong Bangguo kneeling down for Chen Liang, almost all the soldiers were grateful to Kong Bangguo for his outspoken admonition to join the army, thinking that only Kong Bangguo could say a fair word for the soldiers, and as a result, everyone's opinion of Chen Liang in their hearts was even greater.

But no one expected that at this time, Chen Liang said this earth-shattering event, Kong Bangguo was shocked and sober, and all the soldiers who heard Chen Liang's roar were also sober at this time.

Yes, at this time, if he no longer works hard, let Huang Taiji, a wild boar skin, see the hope that he can hold the territory by using the Han army, then he will put the four Manchurian Eight Banners he now holds in his hands and then put them into the land of Gyeonggi.

So, a captain who had been wounded stood up, smiled gratefully at Kong Bangguo, then puffed up his chest and said loudly to Chen Liang: "Please order us to continue the siege of the city." ”

The surrounding soldiers raised their spears in their hands and shouted angrily, "Please order us to attack the city immediately." ”

This firm oath was like a wave, from near and far and finally spread throughout the barracks, and the frustration of defeat and the low morale of several days in a row broke out again in the blink of an eye.

Kong Bangguo fought, wiped his snot and tears, and said to Chen Liang: "Please ask the general to command the attack with full authority, and I will write to Zhao Xiaoming." Then he shook his head firmly: "No, I'll go to Zhao Xiaoming in person, and I will definitely let him transport the cannon over as quickly as possible." Then he grabbed Chen Liang's big green horse by his side, rode on the back of the horse with all his might, clamped his legs, and rushed towards the west without looking back.

As soon as Chen Liang saw Kong Bangguo riding a horse and running away, he was furious, and his staff officer ran away, what idea can you let this guy with tendons come up with to attack the city? Aren't you a pit man?

"You come back for me, you should give me an idea before you run." As a result, Chen Liang's violent jump was like thunder, completely disrupting the original solemn atmosphere.

At this time, a longbowman stepped forward and cautiously said to Chen Liang: "General, the little one has cast huge arrows on the city these days, because the enemy has a roof, the effect is really minimal, if we use this long arrow to shoot the cavalry's explosives package on the city, will we be able to blow up those turtle shells?" ”

Before Chen Liang could understand, the captain of the longbow soldier slapped his thigh suddenly: "That's right, the explosive package of the bed crossbow, due to the angle problem, can only bombard the front of the city wall, but it can't shoot the turtle shell on the city wall, if we use our longbow with the small explosive bag to throw it at the city head and blow up the turtle shell, then we are done." Again, the captain suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the neck of the soldier who made the suggestion: "You foolish boy, why didn't you say it earlier, if you said it earlier, why should I lose those brothers, they are all brothers who get along with me day and night in a bowl and stir a spoon." As he spoke, he thought of the robed brothers who had disappeared, and he couldn't help but feel sad, covering his face and squatting on the ground and crying.

With this first person's proposal, and was happily accepted by Chen Liang, then there were two or three brothers who were giving advice, providing either tricky or unreliable ideas, but this method proposed by the lowest soldiers was the closest to actual combat, which was indeed worthy of a few Zhuge Liang, so Chen Liang stood up, pulled out the waist knife on his waist again, his eyes were bloody, and pointed directly at Niuzhuang City: "All the soldiers listen to the order, the goal." Cow Village, attack—"

The remaining nearly 10,000 soldiers, with Chen Liang's roar, waved their weapons together, and roared at Niuzhuang City three times: "Don't abandon or give up, fight to the death and don't retreat, kill-" Then a new round of death-defying attacks broke out again.
