At noon on the third day, the Eight Banners Army again launched a battle to attack the city of Jinzhou.

The battle continued day and night.

The attacking Eight Banners Army still suffered heavy losses, but it did not stop attacking, and even the Eight Banners Army's attack was even more crazy than the previous two days, could it be said that they collected the corpses of the Eight Banner Army sergeants, and they were completely enraged.

Zheng Jinhong didn't see it that way, he already sensed the problem.

Urgent deliberations took place in the midst of the battle.

"It is impossible for the Eight Banners Army to capture Jinzhou City, this is a fact in front of us, but the Eight Banners Army does not care about the number of casualties at all, and is still blindly attacking, this kind of battle that we know cannot be won, will continue, can it be said that the commander of the Eighth Banner Army has a problem with his head, I don't think it is so simple."

Zheng Jinhong first asked a question, followed by Yang He.

"Marshal, the last general thinks that this is nothing, Abatai's decision-making mistakes led to the loss of Jinzhou City, and the Eight Banners Army suffered heavy losses, in this case, Abatai could not give Huang Taiji a deal, so he chose to desperately attack Jinzhou City, at least the onslaught at this time can save some mistakes for Abatai."

Ma Xianglin, who had never spoken, also spoke at this moment.

"The last general thinks that what the deputy marshal said is reasonable, and the soldiers are going to inflict the greatest damage on the Eight Banners Army at this moment, so it will be difficult for Abatai to hold on."

Wang Xiaoer didn't speak, obviously still pondering.

Zheng Jinhong looked at Wang Xiaoer and shook his head gently.

"Ningyuan is not very far from Shenyang, and during this time, we have not controlled the positions on the periphery of Jinzhou City for the time being, so the situation in Liaodong, Huang Taiji must know, and our purpose in holding Jinzhou is to completely exterminate the 150,000 Eight Banner Army guarding here. This purpose must be clear to Huang Taiji, including Abatai, in this case, Abatai sent a large army to attack Jinzhou City, to see if he could recover Jinzhou City, and atone for his crimes. This is possible, but it is clear that Jinzhou City cannot be taken, and it must be blindly attacked, and there must be a problem here. ”

When Zheng Jinhong said this, Wang Xiaoer finally spoke.

"The last general thinks that what the marshal said makes sense, maybe Abatai has some other arrangements, the purpose is to trap the former army in Jinzhou City......"

Wang Xiaoer's words hit the nail on the head, making everyone stunned, including Zheng Jinhong.

After all, Wang Xiaoer was the commander of the scout battalion. Years of reconnaissance career have made his thinking more meticulous, and as a scout, he needs to be calm and be able to make accurate judgments at critical moments.

Soon, Zheng Jinhong spoke again.

"What General Wang said is correct, I suspect that Abatai is preparing to evacuate Liaodong, and he asked the Eight Banners Army to desperately attack the city of Jinzhou. Even regardless of the number of casualties, the purpose is to let us defend the city of Jinzhou. Abatai is the main force leading the Eight Banners Army, taking the opportunity to evacuate, if this is the case, then our battle will be a complete failure. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Jinhong stood up.

"There's one more thing you don't want to ignore. That is the army led by the emperor, it must be about to arrive in Ningyuan City, Abatai should know the situation, at this time, there are only two roads in front of Abatai. The second is to order part of the Eight Banners Army to attack the city of Jinzhou at any cost to ensure the safety of the periphery of Jinzhou, Abatai led the Eight Banners Army to evacuate from the periphery of Jinzhou, although it will pay a certain price, but it can always be safely evacuated from Liaodong. ”

Zheng Jinhong's analysis has been very thorough, but Yang He, Ma Xianglin and others still have not expressed their position.

Everyone knows what it means to make a statement at this time, once Zheng Jinhong's judgment is decided, the next step is that the front army must fight out of Jinzhou City and fight face-to-face with the Eight Banners Army outside the city, the front army must open a bloody road in a short time, and immediately need to control the periphery of Jinzhou City to prevent the withdrawal of the army led by Abatai.

This means heavy losses, and the former army will definitely have heavy casualties, I am afraid that the Zheng family army has never experienced casualties in history, so such a major decision cannot be made easily.

Zheng Jinhong understood everyone's thoughts, and he sighed slightly.

"You all think about it, after two hours, we will make a decision, Ningyuan City is about a hundred miles away from Jinzhou, if Abatai decides to lead the army to evacuate, at most it will take a day or so, we will be able to arrive, there is not much time left for us, the combat responsibilities of the front army are extremely heavy, we are resolutely not able to let Abatai go, if Abatai escapes from Liaodong, it will be a complete defeat for our front army."

Before the two hours arrived, Wang Xiaoer was the first to enter the wing.

"Marshal, the last general thought that the former army had to attack, the former army guarded the city, almost no role, just now the last general carefully pondered the words of the marshal, to say that Abatai made a mistake for the first time, did not pay attention to the movements of the former army, resulting in the fall of Jinzhou City, this is understandable, but in the face of the danger that the 150,000 Eight Banners Army may be wiped out, if Abatai is still willful, it is unlikely......"

Before Wang Xiaoer finished speaking, Yang He and Ma Xianglin entered the wing.

Yang He immediately spoke.

"General Wang's analysis is completely accurate, Abatai must be thinking about evacuating Liaodong, so he ordered the Eight Banners Army to attack desperately, at this time the front army must be killed, and must not let Abatai escape from Liaodong, the last general also believes that the emperor must lead the Chinese army, follow behind to pursue Abatai, as long as the front army can stop Abatai for a day or so, the front army and the Chinese army will be able to form a joint encirclement, at that time, Abatai has no way to enter the ground and no door......"

Ma Xianglin nodded on the side, agreeing with Yang He and Wang Xiaoer's analysis.

Zheng Jinhong had already made up his mind, no matter what the analysis was right or wrong, the former army was going to fight out of the city of Jinzhou, and there was no point in always staying in the city, and the Eight Banners Army could completely withdraw from the periphery.

However, the reality is in front of us, that is, the total number of the Eighth Banner Army faced by the front army exceeded 100,000, and although the Eight Banners Army lost a lot of sergeants in more than two days of fighting, its total strength still exceeded 100,000.

The front army of 50,000 people, when attacking the city of Jinzhou, lost 6,000 people, close to three days of fighting to defend the city of Jinzhou, the casualties were close to 3,000 people, that is to say, the front army can participate in the battle of about 40,000 soldiers, whether these 40,000 people are killed at the same time, abandon the city of Jinzhou regardless of it, or some soldiers are killed, desperately blocking the evacuation of Abatai.

There are hundreds of artillery pieces in Jinzhou City, and these cannons must not fall into the hands of the Eight Banners Army, which means that it is not feasible for Zheng's army to leave Jinzhou City.

After a slight pause, Zheng Jinhong began to give orders.

"Yang He, Wang Xiaoer and I led 30,000 soldiers of the former army to kill out of Jinzhou City, Ma Xianglin led more than 10,000 soldiers to continue to hold Jinzhou City, we must ensure the safety of Jinzhou City, mainly hundreds of artillery pieces in the city, can not have the slightest loss, as long as there are more than 10,000 former army soldiers to defend the city, no one can threaten Jinzhou City......"

Ma Xianglin was a little unhappy, after all, he also wanted to go out of the city to fight, although it was a huge danger to go out of the city to fight.

Zheng Jinhong had just finished speaking, and Yang He gave his opinion.

"The last general does not agree with the arrangement of the marshal, the marshal is the commander of the whole army, and needs to be fully commanded and coordinated, stay in Jinzhou City, and better coordinate all matters, the last general believes that once the former army of 30,000 soldiers is killed, then the Eight Banners Army besieging the city will also quickly follow, I am afraid that there will be no sergeants to attack Jinzhou City, in fact, at that time, Jinzhou City has no effect, Abatai understands this, and other officers of the Eight Banners Army also understand this, so the city does not necessarily need to stay more than 10,000 soldiers, If the fighting outside the city is too tragic, the soldiers in the city need to rush to help, all of which need to be decided by the marshal Linji, so the last general does not agree to the marshal to lead the troops out of Jinzhou City. ”

What Yang He said was very serious, and what he said did make sense.

Zheng Jinhong shook his head slightly.

"I am the commander of the former army, and I am the chief soldier of the Zheng family's army, the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, at the critical moment, I must charge at the front, this matter does not need to be discussed, so it was decided."

Before Yang He could speak again, Ma Xianglin spoke.

"The marshal, the last general thinks that what the deputy marshal said is correct, the deputy marshal leads the troops to charge, and the marshal stays in Jinzhou City, this is not to say that the marshal did not charge, but must do so, the fight outside Jinzhou City is full of danger, if the commander and the deputy marshal all lead the troops to the battle, in case of danger, how to maintain the front army, anything can happen on the battlefield, the marshal is the commander of the front army, this must be taken into account......"

Zheng Jinhong's brows furrowed, Ma Xianglin said more directly, in case the fighting on the periphery is too tragic, and he Zheng Jinhong and Yang He have problems, wouldn't the army be leaderless.

Zheng Jinhong is not afraid of death, the horse leather shroud is the highest honor of a soldier, and he is worried that he will not be able to complete the combat mission assigned by the emperor.

After a while, Zheng Jinhong sighed again and looked at Yang He, his eyes full of discussion.

Before Zheng Jinhong could speak, Yang He spoke.

"The marshal is stationed in Jinzhou City, the last general will lead 30,000 troops to kill out, Wang Sen will follow the end of the general's side, if there is any accident at the end of the general, Wang Sen will command, and the herald will quickly report to the marshal, at that time the last general will not fight with the marshal......"

After Yang He finished speaking, Ma Xianglin spoke again.

"The marshal is stationed in the city of Jinzhou, and the last general should also follow the tax to go out of the city to fight, the battle outside is unpredictable, involving the overall campaign deployment, and the last general will definitely be able to kill the enemy bravely and assist the deputy commander to complete the combat mission."
