Outside the capital, the dragon soldiers are temporarily stationed.

For an afternoon, all the would-be dragon soldiers didn't know how many bullets they had fired, they just felt their arms tingle, and some of them even had red and swollen shoulders on the butts of their guns.

Don't think that practicing shooting is so much fun. At first, I will be curious and excited.

But when gun training becomes your job, the process is boring.

When it was almost dark, the rich food was sent by Zhang Ao, and after everyone had eaten and drunk enough, they continued to train at night, and the goal was still the direction of the Dashun army garrison at Lugou Bridge.

The Ming army came again, but not all of them were dispatched, but only more than 200 people were sent, and they looked like they were continuing to try. It wasn't until almost dawn that they returned and retreated in the direction of Jingshi.

In the morning, after getting up, Li Zicheng received the news, and then frowned involuntarily.

After a while, the three strategists who were ordered to rush, Li Yan, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, also rushed over one by one.

"Last night, the Ming army sent someone to inquire about the news, and it turned around at dawn, come, tell me, what's going on?" Li Zicheng's gaze swept to the three staff, and his eyes flashed with doubts and incomprehension.

It is said that Chongzhen, who is surrounded by many people, is the one who wants to escape the most.

The strength of the two sides is here, and if they fight clearly, the Ming army must not be an opponent. In such a big situation, it's okay to tap once, why do you have to do it one after another?

Counting last night, the Ming army has stepped on the point three times, but Bai Bangzheng still has no news that the Ming army is going to move, so the question is, what is the Ming army going to do?

Li Zicheng felt that his brain was a little insufficient, so he found the three advisors he relied on the most, wanting to hear their opinions.

As soon as Li Zicheng's words fell, the atmosphere in the big tent quickly fell into silence, and only the three advisors were left with a slightly silent expression.

In fact, there is no need for Li Zicheng to say, the three of them also felt a little wrong.

Since Bai Bangzheng sent back the news, the Dashun army began to prepare for the encirclement. For this reason, the current hundreds of thousands of Dashun troops are already black and white in terms of work and rest.

During the day, they slept so that they could prepare for a big battle at night.

But one day, two days, until last night, three days have passed, the so-called Ming army's breakthrough has not appeared, although there have been Ming troops out to investigate the situation, but as Li Zicheng said, this kind of critical time, even a way to explore the road still needs to be done three times in a row, is it too cautious?

No!

It's not that it's too cautious, but it's a bit too cautious.

If Chongzhen really wants to break through, he shouldn't be so calm, especially something like pathfinding, if he does it once, at most twice, he should take action, because after a long time, no one knows if it will be discovered.

But if the Ming army is not ready to break through, what are they going to do?

Now all the periphery of Beijing has been besieged to death, and in the absence of the army of King Qin, it is only a matter of strategy, which is no way. But no smart person would make such a choice.

Then again, when you can't defend to the death, it seems that you can only choose to break through?

And this breakthrough is still as early as possible, or that sentence, the besieged Beijing City, is now allowed to go out and not enter, after a long time, the food in the city will not be enough to eat, if you don't choose to break through earlier, then you can suffocate Chongzhen Lao'er in the city.

The three strategists all frowned, looking puzzled. In fact, they all misjudged the situation, or they underestimated Zhu Changwu's existence.

They just thought that the Ming army's choice was only to break through and defend to the death, but they forgot why the Ming army couldn't fight back in a bright way?

Is it because the Ming army has too few troops?

Yes, that's why all three of them ignored the possibility of such a thing. Therefore, they are still thinking about breaking through, or when to break through.

"King Dashun, it's useless to guess this matter, we still need more corroborating evidence to support our verification, I think it's better to contact Bai Bangzheng and ask him to ask that Zhu Changwu and see what he has to say. If the other party is still perfunctory on the grounds of pathfinding, then it is likely that the other party is dragging out, if so, we don't have to wait for them to break through, and take the initiative to attack. ”

Li Yan spoke, put forward his own opinions, and at the same time added: "Now there are Bai Bangzheng and General Li You in the city, as long as they work together and keep an eye on the palace, presumably Chongzhen can't escape even if he wants to." As for the person named Zhu Changwu, it is best to catch him this time, even if he can't, it doesn't matter, there is always a chance to catch him. ”

"The minister agrees with Mr. Li's statement, and the minister thinks that he can also let Bai Bangzheng go to see the situation in the palace and see if Chongzhen Lao'er is ready to leave the palace, after all, it is impossible for such a big matter not to be exposed at all." Song Xiance also spoke, which was a supplement to Li Yan's plan.

"King Dashun, the minister suggested that we should prepare with both hands, and the army should also be prepared to attack once the Ming army does not break through."

What should be said was finished by Li Yan and Song Xiance, and Niu Jinxing didn't want to be left behind, so he opened his mouth and continued to add.

The three strategists can be said to have considered all aspects of the matter, which made Li Zicheng happy after hearing it. "Okay, with the help of the three gentlemen, there is no reason why great things cannot be done, even if this is the case, do what you say."

......

Outside the city of Jingshi, the dragon soldiers are temporarily stationed.

Zhu Changwu was testing the results of the soldiers' target shooting.

In the past two days, the quasi-dragon soldiers did not know how many bullets they had fired, and finally had some gains, reaching an average of eighty rings.

This level is naturally far from the real king of soldiers. But for someone who has only been touching the gun for two days, it is already good to be able to hit such a result without missing the target.

"It is still necessary to strengthen military training and strive for 90 rings, and at least 85 rings to be qualified." Looking at this result, Zhu Changwu was not satisfied, but set a higher plan and goal.

"No problem, just give the fighters a few days and believe they can do it." Ji Jinkai nodded, clearly hopeful for the future. But what he didn't know was that there was simply no time for them to continue training.

Just as the two were talking, outside the camp, a fast horse rushed over, and it was not until it was more than ten steps away from where Zhu Changwu was standing that it could stop.

The horse stopped, the people fell, and the person quickly came to Zhu Changwu's side and said: "General, General Wu sent a message, saying that General Bai wants to see you." ”

"It's coming!" After hearing this, Zhu Changwu's face did not change, but he chuckled in his heart. Bai Bangzheng still can't wait, he wants to see himself, this is going to be a showdown.

"Okay, I know, go back and tell General Wu Linzheng, I'll go back in a while." Zhu Changwu nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Ji Jinkai and said, "Continue training, even if it's night, let them continue to shoot targets with night vision devices." ”

"Still training at night? Then don't you go out to practice tonight? Ji Jinkai looked puzzled.

"No need, I'll be training in place tonight to shoot targets at night." Zhu Changwu used a very affirmative tone, and then turned over to a war horse, and went straight to the direction of Jingshi.

Bai Bangzheng really can't wait.

The news that Zhu Changwu decided to break through with Chongzhen was passed on by him to King Dashun.

But in the blink of an eye, three days have passed, but there has been no movement. This made him suspicious.

After receiving the secret letter from the Dashun Army today, he first sent someone to the palace and found that there was no movement to move there at all, which made him feel bad in his heart.

He suddenly had a bad feeling, could it be that Zhu Changwu had been lying to himself before, they just didn't want to break through at all?

As soon as the idea came out, it was soon self-denied by Bai Bangzheng.

He was the only army that came to King Qin when the capital was in trouble.

Although the number of Ming troops brought is not very large, there are also 2,000 people, which is also a large force for the current Jingshi.

Besides, Zhu Changwu has no reason to deceive himself, if he doesn't want to break through, then what do you do with yourself?

Or, is there any other way to solve the current dilemma in Chongzhen besides breaking through?

Bai Bangzheng, who couldn't figure it out and couldn't figure it out, decided to see Zhu Changwu once and took the initiative to ask him to see what he wanted to say. If he can't give himself a satisfactory answer this time, he can only tell Li Zicheng about his suspicions.

Although doing so, it will seem that he is somewhat incompetent, and even because he delayed the time for the Dashun army to attack the city, he can be said to be guilty. can let him make up nonsense to Li Zicheng, his family is in the hands of others, and he doesn't have such courage now.

The people kept walking in the military tent, looking very anxious, until the voice of the soldiers came from outside, "General, General Zhu is here." ”

As soon as he heard that Zhu Changwu was coming, Bai Bangzheng turned around and greeted him in person.

Out of the tent, I saw the scene of Zhu Changwu dismounting himself, he hurriedly stepped forward, and called out to the general with a respectful look.

"Hehe, Brother Bai, is there something wrong with calling me here in such a hurry?" Zhu Changwu is still smiling as before, I don't know, I think the relationship between the two of them is good.

"General, please move into the tent and speak." With so many people outside, Bai Bangzheng can't ask even if he has questions.

"Okay." Zhu Changwu nodded like a stream, and stepped into the general's tent.

Bai Bangzheng, who followed behind him, saw that Zhu Changwu trusted himself so much, saying that he would enter the account, and when he came to him, he didn't even bring a personal soldier, which made his previous suspicions shaken.
