readx; From the afternoon of that day, the Qing troops began to move frequently, and all this naturally could not escape the eyes of the Ming army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"] But Zhu Youzhen was too tired, and when he had breakfast in the Yongding Gate Tower, he fell asleep with an egg in his mouth, and Yuan Keli ordered no one to alarm the emperor, only Sun Chengzong and Wang Zaijin, who were responsible for the defense of other city gates, and Qian Longxi and Li Biao, who were responsible for the emperor's affairs, to discuss the next step of the battle. Of course, they mainly listened to the opinions of the main general.

There is no doubt that in yesterday's battle, the Ming army achieved brilliant results. Not only did he try to protect the city, but he also killed and injured thousands of Qing soldiers, especially luring the enemy to attack at night and annihilating hundreds of soldiers of the Blue Banner, which is a battle feat that anyone can see.

Xie Sheng immediately ordered the soldiers to take the corpses of those Qing soldiers out of the pit and cut off their heads. This is not to ask for merit, because the three major battalions have adhered to the Qin soldiers' way of remembering merit, and they have long ceased to judge merit by the number of first grades. The purpose of this was to let all the officials and people in the city take a look, so as to boost the morale of the army and the people, and enhance the confidence of defeating a strong enemy.

Upon learning of the great victory of the official army, many people spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate. Xie Sheng asked people to put hundreds of heads of the Qing army in several carts and parade them on the streets, and several other Qing soldiers who were seriously injured and had only half a breath left were also tied to the cars and "exhibited".

The people hated this group of murderous invaders, and almost 10,000 people were empty, crowded around a few cars. Seeing those flesh and blood blurred and incomplete heads, regardless of men, women, old and children, they all applauded. Even more angry people wanted to come forward and beat the Qing soldiers, if it weren't for the officers and soldiers of the reserve to maintain order, these Qing soldiers would have been torn to pieces by the people.

Not to mention the excitement of the people, just to say that at the head of Yongdingmen City, several ministers are listening to Xie Sheng's report on the battle. When he heard that he used the secret way to lead the two hundred Ming army gods to appear outside the Qing army camp unknowingly, causing a lot of chaos and then retreating, even Li Biao, who had always had prejudices against Xie Sheng and other Qin generals and thought that the emperor favored them too much, couldn't help but applaud.

As for how to fight next, several cabinet ministers also expressed their opinions. Li Biao still advocated the transfer of soldiers and horses from all over the country as soon as possible, especially when he knew that there was still a secret way to lead to the outside of the city, he was eager to go out of the city in person to transfer reinforcements, and beat the Qing army away today.

Qian Longxi thought that he could continue to hold on, because after yesterday's large-scale attack, the Qing army should know the difficulty of attacking the city, and may not dare to come and die again. The purpose of the Qing army's entry into the Kou was to plunder, and they would not besiege the Beijing Division for a long time, and when they could not stand the withdrawal of the army, the siege of the Beijing Division could naturally be solved.

And Sun Chengzong, Wang Zaijin and Yuan Keli, the three old ministers, all respected Xie Sheng's opinions very much, and they must tell him his thoughts. Xie Sheng was originally introverted, and for the first time he was discussing with the ministers alone, he was quite nervous, and he didn't dare to express his opinions directly at first. Yuan Keli quipped: "What, are we more terrible than Mang Gurtai?" If that's the case, a few of us should go out of the city and retreat the Qing soldiers. ”

Several people laughed, Xie Sheng relaxed a little, thought for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, the last general is not worried about the Tartars attacking the city now, but worried that they will not attack the city. Shengshang's plan was to attract the Qing army to the city of Jingshi and buy time for the people of the surrounding prefectures and counties to evacuate. Yesterday's battle, the Tartars lost their troops, and the last general just saw that they were moving very frequently, and he was very worried that they would divide some of their forces and turn to plunder other places. ”

Several ministers also remembered that Zhu Youzhen had said similar things to them at this time, so they asked anxiously: "What can I do if this is the case?" ”

"Take the initiative." Xie Sheng said calmly, "In the opinion of the last general, we must fight with the Tartars every day and all the time, so that they can't get out, and the Tartars don't have the time to grab other places, so they can't go much." ”

Li Biao is a staunch main battle faction, and he was greatly appreciated when he heard what Xie Sheng said. But Sun Chengzong, Wang Zaijin and Yuan Keli were all knowledgeable soldiers, but they all frowned together and said: "Although our army has made quite a success, it is all based on the strong city and artillery. Going out of the city to fight in the field is not the director of our army, even if the soldiers use their lives, but the cavalry and shooting are by no means idle, this plan is not possible. ”

While he was talking, he heard a tired voice in the castle tower yawn and said, "What are you discussing?" Come in and talk about it. ”

Several people were shocked, but they didn't expect to speak a little louder, which woke up Zhu Youzhen. had to fish inside, and just about to see the salute, Zhu Youzhen had already waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to, rubbing his sleepy eyes and said: "I haven't heard it all, what's wrong with the Tartars now, don't you attack the city?" ”

Several people were busy introducing him to the Qing army's movements, but Zhu Youzhen jumped up when he heard it, and looked at the Qing army camp with a telescope for a long time, before he said thoughtfully: "It seems that they don't want to attack the city... There are a lot of people missing, where have they gone? By the way, you can briefly talk about what you just discussed. ”

A few people repeated it, and Zhu Youzhen said uncomfortably after hearing it: "Xie Sheng, although you have won a few battles, don't be too proud." The main force of the Qing army has almost not been damaged, you are now out of the city to fight, how to fight? Don't think about cavalry field battles, there are no cavalry in the city now. Do you just use shields? Yesterday there was no way, but it can't be used for the rest of the year, and the Qing army's projectiles can still kill and injure our soldiers. ”

Xie Sheng hurriedly said: "Saint, I think it's time to use the No. 3 battle plan, if you don't use it, the Tartar will run away, and you won't need it anymore." ”

"Oh!" Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized, "Are you going to use that?" ”

"Exactly." Xie Sheng said, "If there is no such thing, the last general will not dare to go out of the city." ”

"Is it big?"

"You'll have to try it to find out."

The two of them asked and answered, but they only said half a sentence, which confused the other ministers. However, they are all very relieved about Xie Sheng now, and feel that this person is calm and has the style of a general, and it is impossible for him to come up with unreliable ideas. As for what the "No. 3 operation plan" was, they all turned their attention to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen pondered for a long time before he made up his mind and nodded: "Okay, you can give it a try, and let Meng Gong command this time." Remember, on the battlefield, you have to make sure you're safe first, and then you kill the enemy. If the plan fails, you must immediately return to the city, it doesn't matter if you throw things away, you must not fall in love! ”

"Yes!" Xie Sheng immediately went to the city to make arrangements, but Zhu Youzhen smiled at the confused ministers: "I still have a treasure that has not been lit, this time let the Tartars try it, let them know what a real modern war is!" ”
