Hearing his words, many of the generals in the tent were shocked and changed color.

Although the Qin army is brave, it is not hard to be brainless when it encounters a strong enemy. In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting was ordered to be the king of Qin, and when the Qin army arrived, the large-scale war had ended, and the main force of the Qin army did not dare to fight the Qing army, and it was polite to send him out.

Later, it was the Battle of Songshan that showed the demeanor of the Qin army, which was the elite of the real elite, but the generals in the account in front of him were a little worse. Hearing what the general of Shandong Town said, his face changed color, and he was not surprised.

"Soft eggs."

Cao Qing held his head high as soon as he entered the tent, and when he heard displeasure at this time, he shot out.

As soon as he said this, everyone looked sideways, and many people raised their eyebrows at this tall man in a beautiful military uniform, and if he changed to someone else, he might back down, but Cao Qing glared at the past and did not back down at all.

At this moment, the curtain behind the tent was lifted, and two officials in red robes walked in one after the other.

Seeing the tense appearance in the tent, both of them are a sign.

Walking in front is Sun Chuanting, the governor of Taibao, and behind is Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong.

"What are you doing here?" Sun Chuanting was very displeased, with a thin anger on his face, and said to everyone: "At the moment of the great enemy, will your own people make trouble first?" ”

Saying this, everyone lowered their heads, and Zhang Quanbin glared at Cao Qing, who also bowed his head to show his respect for the Inspector Taibao.

"Well, you guys listen well," Sun Chuanting pursed his lips and said to everyone: "The previous defeat has been lost, Lord Zhu has already flown to play the prince, one is to ask for reinforcements, and the other is to ask for punishment, what is the responsibility of the generals of Shandong Town, and the governor has also shouldered it." Therefore, since the past, there is no need to say anything about defeating the war, the incident is sudden, and it is of course not beneficial for the generals to fight, but there is no way to deal with it or apply military law, so there is no need to talk about this layer! ”

In a few words, all the generals in the tent were in good spirits.

Of course, there will be good times and bad times in war, and there will be defeats and victories. In the past, the Ming army was promised to win but not to lose, no matter what the facts were, anyway, they had to turn defeat into victory, and even after a big defeat, they could do such things as killing good people and risking merit.

This time, the first two civil officials, no matter what the reason, first stated their mistakes and did not blame them too much, this layer is very convincing.

At that moment, the generals of Shandong Town knelt down together, and the general who spoke at the right time looked ashamed, and only hugged his fists and said: "Lord Taibao, the Governor does not have to take our sins on himself, after all, the last generals are not effective in the war, in fact, this battle is planned in detail in advance, both armor and stomach weapons, and military supplies are enough, the battle is like this, and then the blame is attributed to the top, who is the last general, isn't it completely unpopular?" ”

"The last will wait for the death penalty!"

"Rise, all of you!"

Looking at the generals kneeling on the ground and pressing black, Sun Chuanting was very clear in his heart. This battle is indeed no one's fault, the sentinel is not as good as people, this is a fact, the Qing army took the initiative in the surprise attack, and Shandong Town was not completely wiped out with 8,000 soldiers, to be honest, it was a very fluke.

The troops are inferior to the people, the combat readiness is not as good as the people, and the experience of the generals is not as good as the people.

The arrangement of the Ming army, in fact, is not a big mistake, the other party is to use their own strengths to attack the enemy of the Ming army, after a battle, just now Sun Chuanting and Zhu Dadian calculated the losses, and the mood of both of them was very heavy.

More than 5,300 soldiers from Shandong Town returned, but 3,000 were still not heard from at all, and they were captured either dead. The casualties of the people are also about four or five thousand, and the newly established camps in Shandong Town have just been inspected, and the soldiers have lost their courage and morale, and more than ninety percent of the soldiers have run back empty-handed, and all the armor and stomach weapons have been lost, and only Zhu Dadian's Chinese military camp still maintains a little structure and armor weapons, and the other battalions have almost lost all their horses.

Fortunately, most of the military hoarding is here in Sun Chuanting, if all the food and military funds that the prince has worked so hard to send are lost, Zhu Dadian now has only one way to commit suicide.

If there is a change of coach, it will inevitably be angry, and even depressed to the point of wanting to withdraw the army. Sun Chuanting has been fighting in adversity for many years, from the good times of the Battle of Nanyuan to the defeat of Persimmon Garden, he has fought all the way, and he has fought many defeats...... That's what it is, anyway.

So at the critical moment, he was calmer.

Since he was not depressed, he had to find a way to turn this plate back.

Sun Chuanting looked at everyone, his eyes were full of focus, and said: "Today, the slave cavalry does not dare to hit the strong formation of the captive army, which shows that the main general of the other party is not a reckless man, then, if we want to frustrate the enemy's sharp edge, we have to take the initiative to attack." Otherwise, I will be demoralized if I am hostile to nothing, and when the time comes, Texas will be defeated, and our three armies will have no morale, and this battle will be lost! ”

"Taibao is right," Gao Jie's confidant, who is also his nephew Li Benshen, stepped forward, and in the sound of iron armor, he gave a deep blow and said: "The last general is willing to lead his subordinates to think that he is the forward." ”

Gao Jie's elite cavalry was brought to the city of Dezhou, and the incident happened suddenly, the cavalry all entered Dezhou, and then Zhao Yingyuan went out of the city to rescue Zhu Dadian, Gao Jie was isolated from the rear and lost contact with the camp.

Now at such a time, even if there are few people in Texas, it is not enough to consolidate the city defense, with Gao Jie's many years of experience in leading the army and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the Qing army wants to go to the city with a drum is also dreaming. But after a long time, it is difficult to tell.

Li Benshen came forward to ask for battle at this time, this is something that there is no doubt at all, not only him, but also Gao Jie's subordinates are also eager to try.

But Sun Chuanting doesn't plan to use them to play as the main force yet, he has other ideas.

In his opinion, in addition to the standard battalion of the Chinese army, the elite of his subordinates is Gao Jie's department, and now it has been divided into two, and its strength has become weaker, and the strength of the Qing army on the opposite side has been very obvious, and Zhu Dadian is not unjustly defeated!

At this time, if you lose one or two more battles, there will be no one when the enemy is sharp. In this battle, be careful. Taking the initiative to attack is to put pressure on the enemy so that he cannot concentrate on Texas, otherwise, even if Texas is forcefully confronted by the Qing army, it will be of no strategic significance and in vain.

At that moment, he pressed his hand and said to Li Benshen and other Gao Jie's generals: "It is clear that it is necessary to fight, but the enemy is in full swing, and our army must first resist it, and then counterattack with elite soldiers to have the possibility of victory." Fortunately, the car artillery battalion has artillery now, and tomorrow it will go into battle, suppress the slave cavalry with firearms, restrain it, and then use strong troops to be the enemy's edge, and then attack and suppress the two flanks, so that there is a possibility of victory. Even if you can't win completely, at least you can frustrate the enemy's spirit and prevent the slave riders from being too arrogant! ”

Although Shandong Town was defeated, the strength of Xuzhou Town was still there, and the number of soldiers was comparable to that of the Qing army, and it had the advantage of firearms, so it was not impossible to fight.

If you avoid and dare not fight, then the Qing army will be more vigorous, and the Ming army will not be able to move, and then it will be divided and controlled by the Qing army, and you can only wait for defeat or retreat.

Sun Chuanting came up with a large army ambitiously, and naturally it was impossible to endure such a result.

The generals in the tent are all experienced generals, and as soon as Sun Chuanting said his current strategic intentions, everyone naturally looked at the generals of the Pingyu army.

In terms of strength, there are more than 5,000 soldiers in the third battalion, in terms of equipment, the first in the whole army, and in terms of morale training, everyone also sees it. It's just that he lacks experience, so under the judgment of everyone, it is a little worse than Gao Jie's department.

If you want to use soldiers now, you can only use these three battalions of soldiers.

Sun Chuanting was also straightforward, looked at the three standards, and asked, "Do you understand my words?" Ming said that he was at war with slaves, can you go out of the team? ”

At this time, no one can say anything to avoid war, otherwise military law will not be wronged. Besides, the Pingyu army has long been eager to try.

"Please rest assured." Among the three, Zhang Quanbin was the most stable and the most popular, and he replied immediately: "Ming said that the Pingyu army will be the main battle, and the army will fight, and if you occupy it, you will win." ”

"That's good, you are so confident, let the Pingyu army and my Chinese army press forward from the middle, and you must fight well. The artillery battalion is also under your unified command, and I know that they have a lot of artillery, and among the large army, you use the best artillery, so I will hand it over to you. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Quanbin and the others were naturally overjoyed, and with the support of the fire of the vehicle and artillery battalion, they felt a little more sure.

Although he did not have the slightest confidence in Zhang Quanbin's "victory", after all, almost all of the soldiers of the three battalions were recruits except for the officers, and with all the recruits in the battle, it would be a great achievement to be able to slightly frustrate the spirit of the Qing army.

If you can block the main formation of the Qing army and support the attack on both flanks, it will be a great achievement.

"Then all the battalions will go down and prepare, and tomorrow morning the battalions will get up, eat breakfast first, and then the whole army will press on and fight a decisive battle with the slaves!"

Sun Chuanting acted vigorously and resolutely, and the battle plan had been drawn up a long time ago, and at this time, they were assigned and deployed one by one, and the levels were clear, and the positions and tasks of each battalion were very clear, as long as they could play at a real level, they would not be able to win, and they would not be defeated as badly as Shandong Town.

Hearing that this Taibao deployed troops and horses, the generals, including Zhu Dadian, were truly happy to surrender to this Taibao.

People are like this, no matter how powerful the prestige is heard by the ears, it is not as vivid and convincing as it is seen and felt with the eyes. The deployment of various battalions is not enough for outsiders, and Sun Chuanting can quickly respond after Zhu Dadian's defeat, and the operation is very clear and understandable, which is already a very valuable thing.

At the thought of starting tomorrow's battle, all the generals were very excited, and many people felt hesitant, after all, the friendly army had just suffered a fiasco, although the Qing army stopped in front of the position of the Pingyu army, but when it really went out of the camp to fight, how the Pingyu army would perform, can only be doubted at present.

In the face of everyone's eyes, Zhang Quanbin and others are very calm.

After such a long period of training, how much hard work they ate, how much sweat they spilled on the field, and how many injuries they suffered during training, these things can only be understood by the people of the Pingyu Army.

Any so-called recruit of the Pingyu Army can be seen as a veteran soldier in another military town.

There is no need to say much at the moment, after receiving the order, it is to come out with the generals, but a few of the generals smiled at each other at the time of parting, and the excitement jumped out, and there was no need to say more!
