Chen Xinjia was very happy to take the Black Mountain City, when Zu Dashou and the others were still cleaning up the results, he had already entered the city directly with Qian Qianyi and others.

The city of Montenegro is not very large, the role here is somewhat similar to that of Dalinghe City, it is completely built as a military fortress, there are no residents, there are no merchants, the city is built against the mountain, and it relies on Montenegro behind it.

Not long after, Chen Xinjia finished his inspection, and Zu Dashou also cleaned up the results.

This time, the report was carried out on the city wall, there was still a smell of blood here, although the corpse was carried away, but the blood stains were still there, Chen Xinjia's purpose in doing this was mainly to adapt to such an occasion, and at the same time let Qian Qianyi and Tang Haitai adapt to this situation.

"Marshal, attacking the city of Montenegro, after the annihilation of the army, there were 2,000 golden tartars, 1,200 sergeants killed, 300 seriously wounded, and minor injuries have not been counted yet."

When Zu Dashou reported the results of the battle, his face was solemn, and he felt that something was wrong again, such an important place in the city of Montenegro, there were only two thousand people guarding the Houjin Tartars for the Lu, and these Houjin Tartars were not completely killed in battle, there were hundreds of people concentrated in the house, as if they were collectively killed, but it was not the border army, which shows that the Houjin Tartars will not leave a living mouth, what is the purpose of this, it is really difficult to understand, could it be said that the Houjin Tartars willingly gave up the Black Mountain City, Could it be that the Houjin Tartars are afraid of the border army, there is an inexplicable reason for this.

Chen Xinjia had a smile on his face, what he was concerned about was obviously taking the city of Montenegro, as for the number of casualties, he didn't need to care too much, since the fight was launched, casualties were inevitable.

Qian Qianyi and Tang Haitai were even happier and won the first battle. The losses of the army are negligible, and if it has been so smooth in the future, it is the time to make great contributions.

There is another very important reason why Chen Xinjia is happy, he also knows that the Houjin Tartar is not so fragile. If the Houjin Tartars were so fragile, there would not have been so many years of fighting, and there would not be a situation where the border army cowered in the city and did not dare to meet the Houjin Tartars. It's still stuck in many years ago.

The bravery of the Jiangning battalion is well known, but all the sergeants who participated in the expedition this time are border troops, and the Houjin Tartars have always despised the border army, which also shows that arranging the border army to go on the expedition can have unexpected results.

As for the battle that followed. Chen Xinjia knew very well that it could not be so easy. But as long as the first battle is won and the city of Montenegro is successfully taken, it can boost morale and lay a good foundation for the subsequent expeditions.

After Zu Dashou's report, Chen Xinjia naturally wanted to open his mouth to encourage him.

"General Zu. This time you commanded the army to attack, and the results were quite fruitful, and if the commander wanted the emperor and the court to repay your merits, the next battle would probably be even more cruel. You still have to be prepared. ”

Zu Dashou's face still did not show a smile.

"Marshal, my subordinates feel a little suspicious."

"Oh, what do you think, just say it."

"My army has been pulling out and leaving Dalinghe City for three days, it is said that the Houjin Tartars should know the news, the city of Montenegro is a military town, and the Houjin should have sent a large number of sergeants to wait, but the subordinates counted carefully, only two thousand Houjin Tartars waited, such a situation is somewhat abnormal, could it be said that the Houjin Tartars did it deliberately."

As soon as Hong Chengchou finished saying these words, Qian Qianyi and Tang Haitai's faces changed, and they were about to speak, but Chen Xinjia waved his hand to stop them.

"General Zu, in your opinion, how should we analyze and deal with the current situation?"

Zu Dashou gritted his teeth and still spoke.

"The subordinates think that the army can be temporarily stationed in the city of Montenegro, clear the surrounding Houjin Tartars, and see how the situation develops, if the Houjin Tartars come to attack the Black Mountain City on a large scale, it means that the Houjin Tartars are negligent to our border army and lose the Black Mountain City, if the Houjin Tartars delay in launching an attack, the subordinates think that there is fraud here, and they need to be highly vigilant."

"Oh, then tell me what the Houjin Tartars have and how they are going to deceive."

"This, I can't figure it out for a while, but I have such a worry, in the entire Black Mountain City, there is not a single post-golden tartar alive, this kind of situation is too weird."

After Zu Dashou finished speaking, Qian Qianyi spoke first.

"General Zu, you are still experienced in a hundred battles, Houjin Tartar is obviously negligent in prevention, despise my expedition army, so it caused such an ending, this expedition, the marshal has been carefully planned, has analyzed these situations, according to my opinion, this attack can be so smooth, mainly thanks to the courage of the soldiers, this momentum, must be maintained, morale can not be dold, according to your suggestion, the army will not attack here, isn't it a joke, dispatch 100,000 troops, is to take Montenegro, Next, how to conquer. ”

"In addition, you said that the Houjin Tartars cheated, even if they cheated, we can still deal with it calmly, arrange the soldiers to firmly guard the city of Montenegro, after the army is opened, Montenegro has also become the rear base of our army, what is there to worry about, Montenegro is only a hundred miles away from Dalinghe City, echoing back and forth, can the Houjin Tartars still be able to use any schemes, General Zu, don't let others have the ambition to destroy their own prestige."

After Qian Qianyi finished speaking, Zu Dashou was stunned, he was really not good at answering, what Qian Qianyi said seemed to make sense, the army won the first battle, it was so suspicious, it was indeed unfavorable for the subsequent expedition, which also came from his inner distrust of Chen Xinjia, if Su Tiancheng commanded this battle, he would not think so much at all.

Tang Haitai was not as polite as Qian Qianyi when he spoke.

To say that although Tang Haitai is only the governor of the Yamen, because of his special identity and Chen Xinjia's trust, his performance is completely different, it can be said that he is majestic, and everyone below is also clear, under normal circumstances, he will not offend this upstart.

Tang Haitai was very humble in front of Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi, but it was different below, and even in front of Hong Chengchou, he was not necessarily so respectful, let alone Zu Dashou.

"General Zu, the lower official feels that the deployment of the marshal is wise, and he completely anticipated the situation of the first battle, and made a precise deployment, so he was able to take the city of Montenegro so smoothly, General Zu said this, does it mean that there is a problem with the arrangement and deployment of the marshal, the army has been pulled out, the campaign has begun, General Zu said these words, I don't know what the intention of the road is."

After saying this, Tang Haitai was not satisfied, and then spoke.

"Xia Guan thinks that according to the deployment of the marshal, the army will be victorious, such a great opportunity, a golden opportunity, this is my blessing of the Ming Dynasty, but also the wisdom of the emperor, the emperor asked the marshal to be responsible for the conquest matters, I don't know what the opinion is in the court of Lu Dao, now the facts show that the marshal can defeat the Houjin Tartars, I don't know if General Lu Daozu thinks that there is a problem with the arrangement and deployment of the marshal."

Having said that, Zu Dashou just had so many doubts that he couldn't speak.

Qian Qianyi and Tang Haitai can be regarded as Chen Xinjia's right-hand men, and people's understanding is highly unified, they are just officers who lead the sergeants to fight, and they blindly question the tactical arrangement, and they may really be suspected of ulterior motives.

After Zu Dashou was silent, Chen Xinjia spoke.

"Lord Qian, Tang Haitai, don't say that, General Zu also reminded Ben Shuai to always pay attention, General Zu can have such worries, also because of his experience in a hundred battles, just now, General Zu don't take it to heart, the next expedition will depend on you to lead the soldiers to fight."

Chen Xinjiazhi waved his hand triumphantly.

"The army attacked the city of Montenegro, success, greatly stimulated the morale of the soldiers, according to the commander's view, the Houjin Tartar is not so terrible, the most terrible is the fear of the sergeant, as long as the fear is overcome, everything is possible, General Zu's worries, the commander can give you an answer, the Houjin Tartar has always despised my Liaodong border army, once upon a time, the border army can only stick to the city, and did not dare to confront the Houjin Tartar head-on, now the situation is different, the border army took the initiative to attack, maybe the Houjin Tartar thinks, The border army is nothing more than this, a few days ago, the Japanese marshal asked the army to march slowly, just to make the Houjin Tartars despise, I didn't expect the Houjin Tartars to look down on our border army so much, this is their own hardship. ”

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Chen Xinjia's face.

"What Lord Qian said is very correct, no matter what arrangements the Houjin Tartars have, our army will attack according to the predetermined deployment, and after taking the Black Mountain City, the army will rest here for three days, and then it will attack Yizhou, and the commander will see what kind of strategy the Houjin Tartars can have."

All the deployments were carried out according to the original plan, the army began to rest in Montenegro, and then Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi discussed, and decided to leave 10,000 border troops in the city of Montenegro to hold on, and informed Hong Chengchou who was stationed in the defense line of Guanningjin, and the two sides took care of each other.

This kind of deployment is very normal, Chen Xinjia's decision to rest in Montenegro City for three days did make many people puzzled, so that Houjin Tatar continued to spy on intelligence, of course, Chen Xinjia could not know these things, he still carried out various actions according to his own deployment.

Zu Dashou experienced this reprimand, and was silent a lot, he knew that he was not qualified to intervene in terms of big decisions, Chen Xinjia thought that he could make meritorious contributions, I am afraid that his heart is very strong, general advice, I can't listen to it at all, and the thinking is also fixed, and the future expedition will be carried out according to this inertial thinking.
