"Zhongxing Bo really thinks that we can deal with Jianlu in this way?" Sun Chengzong asked Zhong Jinwei with a little amusement on his face.
Zhong Jinwei nodded, thinking to himself, it should be okay.
When Sun Chengzong saw it, he laughed, and then said: "You have never been on the battlefield, so you don't know how much courage it takes to stand firm and not run away when the soldiers have no support and face the galloping cavalry."
When Zhong Jinwei heard Sun Chengzong's reasons, he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought there was some fatal flaw. He quickly said: "This is no problem. You can train it through strict training, escape from death, rewards for bravery, and clear rewards and punishments."
"Haha, even if Uncle Zhongxing trains the well-disciplined army you mentioned, do you think you can defeat the Jianlu with firearms?" Sun Chengzong laughed.[
"All Westerners fight like this." Zhong Jinwei felt guilty and added, "Those are Westerners who are stupid." Sun Chengzong came to a conclusion directly, and then asked Zhong Jinwei: "If Jianlu had a shield chariot in front, how could he block it?"
Your musket lead. The archers follow the shield car, throw your spear array or musket array, and then use the heavy armored cavalry following behind to attack at close range. The white-armored soldiers will follow up. Do you think your formation can block it?
?”
"Then, if my musketeers can destroy the shield car, they won't be able to rush over." Zhong Jinwei still wanted to fight to the death.
"Quilts suck. Since Jianlu wants to deal with musketeers, just add a few more wet quilts to the shield car. How many layers of quilts can you penetrate with muskets?" Sun Chengzong asked again without mercy.
Zhong Jinwei was speechless and stayed there.
Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng, Dongchang's subordinates, didn't know much about fighting on the battlefield, but they knew from the expressions of the conversation between the old man and the young man that Zhong Xingbo's statement was wrong.
"The tactics of combining chariots, infantry and cavalry that I mentioned in the military book were all summed up in many years of fighting against the Jianlu. Chariots and artillery are all indispensable in dealing with the Jianlu." Sun Chengzong
He began to explain his experience to Zhong Jinwei.
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he calmed down and listened carefully to Sun Chengzong's military strategy.
At this time, the personal guards came in and interrupted Sun Chengzong's teaching business, reporting to Zu Dashou that there was an urgent military intelligence report.
When Sun Chengzong heard this, he immediately stopped teaching, went to the central army tent, sat down, and called his ancestors to come in.
Zhong Jinwei also followed Sun Chengzong to the central military tent and sat down on the supervisor's seat next to him, wanting to hear what the military situation was.
Zu Dashou entered with two generals, followed by Hu Hao.
He saw that the Supervisory Army, whom he had not seen for many days, was also present. He was slightly startled, and then took the lead in greeting him and said: "I, the Supervisory Army, have just received the military information from the front. The general did not dare to neglect, and brought Ye Bushou to face me in person.
Soldier report."
After he finished speaking, he turned slightly to one side and moved out of the way, so that Sun Chengzong could see the Ye Bu Shu Hu Hao he had brought in.
When Zhong Jinwei saw him, he realized that he was the one who saved him. Judging from his expression, he looked a little tired. He probably hadn't had any rest.
Hu Hao knelt down on one knee: "See my soldiers and supervise the troops."
"What kind of military situation is it? Tell me quickly." Sun Chengzong asked in a deep voice.
"Yes. The villain went to investigate the main force of Jianlu near Shanhaiguan. When he walked to Changli, he encountered more than 7,000 Jianlu attacking Changli City. The flag was from a group of Jianlu attacking Shanhaiguan. The Jianlu had been fighting for two days.
, has never been captured." Hu Hao briefly reported the general situation.
Sun Chengzong frowned and said nothing. After a while, he said: "I remember that Changli is a small county town, and there is no regular army stationed by the imperial court. The Jianlu were not captured?"
"My soldier, the general, is also puzzled. I asked the other soldiers who went with him, and they are indeed still holding on." Zu Dashou opened his mouth to confirm.[
"My soldier, I saw that the city of Changli was guarded by rural soldiers without armor." Hu Hao added, further explaining that Sun Chengzong had not mistaken Changli's defensive strength.
"Rural soldiers?" Zhong Jinwei was a little puzzled. Could it be that they were militiamen? There were reserves in the Ming Dynasty.
"Rural soldiers are minzhuangs organized during wartime. Didn't Yan Yingyuan serve as the leader of minzhuang before?" Sun Chengzong knew about Yan Yingyuan, so he used him as an example to explain to Zhong Jinwei.
"That means the people of Changli City basically defended themselves?" Zhong Jinwei was surprised when he heard this and asked.
"Supervising the army, I saw that Jianlu suffered a lot in attacking the city, so he couldn't do anything about Changli." Hu Hao said.
"Oh, get up and talk in detail." Zhong Jinwei didn't want his savior to kneel down, so he asked him to get up and talk. He planned to get him under his control when he was training troops.
"Yes, Supervisor." Hu Hao got up and told them one by one what he saw that day.
Zhong Jinwei imagined it in his mind while listening, admiring them for being able to resist the ferocious and fierce Jianlu army.
After Hu Hao finished speaking, Sun Chengzong sighed. When Zhong Jinwei saw it, he was very surprised and said: "Master Sun, why do you sigh when you are so happy?"
Zu Dashou wanted to please the famous man in front of the emperor, so he explained to Sun Chengzong: "The supervisors don't know that the army has encountered several obstacles in building the captives. Changli is not a fortified city, so I am afraid that they will attack with all their strength in revenge."
"When I was returning, I saw 30,000 to 40,000 Mongolian Tatar troops going to Changli. I only saw them at night, so the number cannot be confirmed." Hu Hao's words confirmed what Zu Dashou said.
Virtual.
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he thought that Changli was in danger, so he quickly said: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and send troops to rescue."
Several people in the Chinese military tent did not move or speak. Zhong Jinwei looked puzzled and urged again: "Master Sun, hurry up and send troops. It's going to be too late. I'm afraid Changli won't be able to defend it."
Sun Chengzong looked at Zhong Jinwei, who looked anxious, and sighed: "The enemy forces are strong, so we are sending troops to rescue Changli. If we don't have enough troops, it won't work, but if we have more troops, we will have the power of a decisive battle. We are not yet sure of a decisive victory."
"Then we won't save it?" Zhong Jinwei found it a bit unbelievable. Near the capital of his country, hundreds of thousands of troops were just standing there, watching the captives massacre the city without caring?
"Supervisor, protecting the capital is the top priority right now. Changli is just a small town, there is no need to take risks." Zu Dashou kindly explained the current situation.
"What, if you don't save them, Jianlu will massacre the city!" Zhong Jinwei pointed out the consequences of not saving them.
Zu Dashou didn't answer any more, and thought to himself, who doesn't know what kind of virtue Jianlu has? It makes them hit the wall many times. It would be strange if they don't massacre the city when they are so angry. But this is not the first time Jianlu has done it. If they want to, they will do it.
Just slaughter it.
Zhong Jinwei looked at Zu Dashou, then turned to look at Sun Chengzong.
He looked at Sun Chengzong so much that he dared not look directly at him. No matter what, he usually said that he should be an official for the people, but now he ignored him because of the overall situation. It was always wrong.
When Zhong Jinwei saw their expressions, he understood immediately. The thoughts of these ancients were very different from his own, and they did not have the supreme respect for life that later generations had.
In their eyes, there are no important people in Changli, such as the emperor, and it is not an important place that must be rescued. For example, Shanhaiguan is an important road connecting the inside and outside of the pass, so they will not go to rescue at all costs.[
Zhong Jinwei seemed to see Changli City, after many days of perseverance, hoping for reinforcements, being broken by Jianlu, and fell in a pool of blood in despair, recreating the scene of the Nanjing Massacre that year.
Don't you care, just watch all the men, women, and children in Changli city die under Jianlu's butcher knife? If you can't save the people from fire and water, then what's the point of traveling back by yourself? Are you making excuses to say that you want to save more people?
The entire Ming Dynasty cannot focus on small things?
No, absolutely not, that is just an excuse for the politicians I hate the most. Sacrificing some people for the sake of more people is an excuse for selfishness. Anyone who says this has the ability to be abused.
Some people have sacrificed themselves, otherwise they would not be qualified to say this.
So how can we persuade them to save Chang Li? Zhong Jinwei's mind is racing, thinking of any way to persuade them. In essence, he is still the so-called angry youth of later generations. He has his own persistence and sees things as inevitable.
Hu Hao looked at Zhong Jinwei's series of performances, and his mind immediately changed about Zhong Jinwei. Zhong Xingbo was indeed different from ordinary dignitaries. He had a benevolent heart and could think of and worry about the people.
The next general behind Zu Dashou was He Kegang. After seeing the tragic situation of Jianlu's massacre of the village that day, he wanted to fight with Jianlu, but Zu Dashou scolded him for being childish.
Now that I see the supervisors being so anxious for the people of Changli, I secretly admire them and wonder if I should say something to support the supervisors.
Suddenly, Zhong Jinwei burst out laughing.
When the people in the Zhongjun tent saw Zhong Jinwei's performance, they thought to themselves, maybe Zhong Xingbo is crazy. What is the reason for his laughter?
