Outside the capital, the dragon soldiers are temporarily stationed.
Throughout the afternoon, all the quasi-dragon soldiers didn't know how many bullets they had fired. They just felt numbness in their arms, and even the shoulders where the butt of the gun was pressed on some of them had become red and swollen.
Never think that practicing shooting is fun. In the first grade of junior high school, I will still be curious and excited.
But when gun training becomes your job, the process can be boring.
When it was getting dark, Zhang Yi sent people to deliver rich meals. After everyone had eaten and drank, they continued to train at night, with the target still being the direction of the Dashun Army garrison at Marco Polo Bridge.
The Ming army came again, but not all of them were dispatched, but only more than two hundred people were sent, as if they were continuing to test. It was not until almost dawn that they returned and retreated towards the capital again.
One morning, after getting up, Li Zicheng received the news, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
After a while, the three counselors who were ordered to come, Li Yan, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, also came over one by one.
"Last night, the Ming army sent people to inquire about the news. They came back at dawn. Come on, tell me, what is going on?" Li Zicheng glanced at the three staff, and his eyes were full of doubts and confusion. .
It is said that Chongzhen, who was surrounded by many people, was the one who wanted to escape the most.
The strength of both sides is shown here. If they fight openly, the Ming army will definitely not be their opponent. Under such a general situation, it is enough to step in and say it once, why do you have to do it one after another?
Counting last night, the Ming Army has already visited the site three times, but there is still no news from Bai Bangzheng that the Ming Army is going to take action. So the question is, what exactly is the Ming Army going to do?
Li Zicheng felt that his brains were a little insufficient, so he called the three advisers he relied on most to listen to their opinions.
As soon as Li Zicheng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the tent quickly fell into silence, with only the three counselors remaining looking slightly silent.
In fact, Li Zicheng didn't need to say that all three of them felt something was wrong.
Ever since Bai Bangzheng sent back the news, the Dashun Army began to prepare for an encirclement. For this reason, the work and rest of the hundreds of thousands of Dashun troops are now reversed.
During the day, they slept so that they could be ready for the big battle at night.
But one day, two days, and last night, three days passed, and the so-called breakthrough of the Ming Army has not occurred. Although the Ming Army has been coming out to explore the situation, as Li Zicheng said, in such a critical time, a path exploration is still needed. Is it too cautious to do it three times in a row?
No!
It's not that I'm too cautious, but that I'm a little too careful.
If Chongzhen really wanted to break through, he shouldn't be so calm, especially for things like exploring the road. He should take action once or twice at most, because as time goes by, no one knows what will happen. Will not be discovered, if so, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?
But if the Ming Dynasty is not ready to break out, what will they do?
The entire city of Beijing is now besieged. Without King Qin's army outside, defending is just a last resort. There is no other way. But no smart person would make such a choice.
Then again, if you can't defend, it seems like you have no choice but to break out?
Moreover, the sooner the siege breaks out, the better. Again, the besieged city of Beijing is now allowed out but not allowed in. As time goes by, the food in the city will not be enough. If we don’t choose to break out earlier, That suffocation can also kill old Chongzhen in the city.
The three counselors all frowned, looking like they couldn't understand. In fact, they all misjudged the situation, or they underestimated Zhu Changwu's existence.
They just thought that the Ming army's only options were to break through and defend, but they forgot, why couldn't the Ming army counterattack in an honest and fair manner?
Is it because the Ming army has too few troops?
Yes, that's why the three of them ignored the possibility of this happening. Therefore, what they are thinking about now is the breakout, or when the breakout will be.
"King Dashun, it is useless to rely on guesswork in this matter. We still need more evidence to support our verification. I think it is better to contact Bai Bangzheng and ask him to ask Zhu Changwu and see what he says. Say. If the other party is still perfunctory on the pretext of exploring the path, then it is very likely that the other party is delaying. If this is the case, we don't have to wait for them to break through, we can just take the initiative to attack."
Li Yan spoke, and while putting forward his own opinions, he 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, Chongzhen will not be able to escape even if he wants to. . As for the man named Zhu Changwu, it’s best if we can catch him this time. Even if we can’t, it doesn’t matter, there is always a chance to catch him.”
"I agree with Mr. Li's statement. I think we can also ask Bai Bangzheng to see the situation in the palace and see if Mr. Chongzhen is ready to leave the palace. After all, there is no news about such a big matter. Not exposed." Song Xiance also spoke, which was a complement to Li Yan's plan.
"King Dashun, I suggest that we should be prepared on both sides. The army should also be prepared to attack by force once the Ming army fails to break through."
What should be said was all said by Li Yan and Song Xiance. Niu Jinxing didn't want to fall behind others, so she opened her mouth and continued to add.
It can be said that the three advisers have considered all aspects of the matter, which made Li Zicheng very happy after hearing this. "Okay, if we can get the help of these three gentlemen, there's no reason why we can't accomplish this great thing. Even so, I'll do as you say."
...
Outside the capital city, the dragon soldiers are temporarily stationed.
Zhu Changwu is testing the results of the soldiers' target practice.
In the past two days, the Quasi-Dragon Soldiers fired countless bullets, and finally made some gains, reaching an average score of eighty rings.
This level is naturally far from the real King of War. But for someone who has only been using a gun for two days, if he can achieve such a result without missing the target, it is already considered good.
"We still need to strengthen military training and strive for the 90th ring. At least the 85th ring is required to be qualified." Looking at this result, Zhu Changwu was not satisfied, but set a higher plan and goal.
"No problem, as long as we give the soldiers a few days, I believe they can do it." Ji Jinkai nodded, obviously full of hope for the future. But what he didn't know was that there was no time for them to continue training.
Just as the two were talking, a fast horse came over from outside the camp and stopped when it was more than ten steps away from where Zhu Changwu was standing.
The horses stopped and the people alighted. The visitor quickly came to Zhu Changwu's side and said, "General, General Wu sent a message saying that General Bai wants to see you."
"Here he comes!" After hearing this, Zhu Changwu's expression did not change, but his heart skipped a beat. In the end, Bai Bangzheng couldn't wait any longer and wanted to see himself. This was going to be a showdown.
"Okay, I understand, go back and tell General Wu Linzheng that I will be back in a moment." Zhu Changwu nodded in agreement, then turned to Ji Jinkai and said: "Continue training, even at night, let them continue shooting with night vision goggles. "
"You still have to train at night? So why don't you go out to practice tonight?" Ji Jinkai looked confused.
"No need, I'll just practice night shooting here tonight." Zhu Changwu said in a very affirmative tone, then he turned over on a war horse and headed straight for the capital.
Bai Bangzheng really couldn't wait.
The news that Zhu Changwu decided to break out with Chongzhen was passed to King Dashun by him.
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 message from Dashun Army today, he first sent someone to the palace and found that there was no movement of people moving there at all, which made him feel something bad in his heart.
He suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that Zhu Changwu had been lying to him before and that they simply didn't want to break out?
As soon as the idea came up, it was quickly rejected by Bai Bangzheng.
He is the only one in the army who comes to help the king when the capital is in trouble.
Although the number of Ming troops brought was not very large, there were still two thousand people, which was quite a force for the current capital.
Besides, Zhu Changwu had no reason to lie to him. If he didn't want to break out, then what was he talking to himself about?
In other words, besides breaking out of the siege, does Chongzhen have other ways to solve the current predicament?
Bai Bangzheng couldn't figure it out, so he decided to meet Zhu Changwu once and take the initiative to ask what he had to say. If he couldn't give himself a satisfactory answer this time, he would have no choice but to tell Li Zicheng his suspicions.
Although doing so would make him seem a little incompetent, and he could even be said to be guilty because he delayed the Dashun army's attack on the city. But let him make up lies to Li Zicheng, and his family is in his hands. He doesn't have the courage now.
The man 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 to greet him personally.
When they got out of the tent, they saw Zhu Changwu dismounting from his horse. He quickly stepped forward and called out "Hello, General" with a respectful look on his face.
"Haha, Brother Bai, why are you calling me here in such a hurry?" Zhu Changwu is still smiling like before. For those who don't know, he thought they have such a good relationship.
"General, please move inside the tent to speak." With so many people outside, Bai Bangzheng couldn't ask even if he had questions.
"Okay." Zhu Changwu nodded obediently and stepped into the general's tent.
Bai Bangzheng, who was following him, saw that Zhu Changwu trusted him so much that he would put the money in the account when he said it. When he came to his place, he didn't even bring a single soldier with him, which made his previous suspicion shaken. .
