532 There is another plan

It is precisely because of this that he chooses to die with the enemy in the end, this is not bravery, not sacrifice, but an escape after the collapse, he has collapsed.

So, at this moment, the original memory reappeared in front of him, and he knew very well that it was time for him to start demagoguery, let these cowards scream and send them to death, and buy the rest of them a chance and time to live, and a little little hope.

For these soldiers who are frantically roaring, this method is a little too despicable, but even more despicable things, Xiao Ruxun has not done it, if you want to be despicable, or the most despicable person in this era can be compared with Xiao Ruxun, the only difference between the two may be the ultimate goal.

It is precisely because he has experienced the darkness of moral decay and the roar of animal nature that Xiao Ruxun cherishes the light of morality and etiquette incomparably, and he feels that this era is extremely lovely.

In the same way, he did not have much resistance to the use of vile methods, even those that would cost many people's lives, he took them for granted, and he had experienced the most complete darkness that no one here had ever experienced.

He even felt that this end of the Ming Dynasty was so cute, so bright, and so wonderful.

What a wonderful world!

And all this is what Li Chengliang and Li Rusong are destined to not experience.

So when Li Chengliang really saw Xiao Ruxun and really came face to face with Xiao Ruxun, he suddenly had a very strange feeling, a ...... This person is not a feeling I can compete with.

Looking up and down at Li Chengliang, who was already old and decrepit but could vaguely see the traces of his majesty and majesty, Xiao Ruxun regained his mood and saluted Li Chengliang.

"The younger Xiao Ruxun has seen Li Gong."

Li Chengliang treated Xiao Ruxun with very complicated feelings.

"Xiao Zhennan doesn't have to be polite, the old man has heard of Xiao Zhennan's name for a long time, but he hasn't seen it, and when he sees it today, Xiao Zhennan is really an extraordinary hero, worthy of the name of the first general in Wanli."

Xiao Ruxun raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly.

"In front of the seniors, the juniors don't dare to call themselves the first general, this name is too big."

Li Chengliang sighed and shook his head.

"If you don't dare, who else will?"

After that, Li Chengliang patted Xiao Ruxun's shoulder, walked in front of a Hongyi cannon, and asked, "Xiao Zhennan, is this cannon a new artillery?" ”

Xiao Ruxun came back to his senses, glanced at Li Chengliang, put away his emotions, nodded and said: "Yes, this is the artillery obtained by the younger generation in the process of fighting with the Francophone in Nanyang, and then obtained the casting method of this cannon from Macao, and it was cast in Burma, this cannon is very powerful, and it is greater than the Francophone gun." ”

"This cannon is full of strength, and the power is not great! Very good! Very good! With this cannon and cavalry, this battle is generally certain to be won, right? ”

Li Chengliang turned around and asked Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun nodded, and said: "At present, the advance can be attacked, the retreat can be defended, just wait for the northern captives to attack, you can destroy its siege equipment in one fell swoop, weaken its strength, and then use the cavalry field to defeat it, relieve the siege of Bauhinia Pass, and then consider others." ”

"But the northern captives have not sent troops to attack so far, so don't you have to wait until tomorrow?"

Hearing Li Chengliang say this, Xiao Ruxun cast his eyes to the Mongolian military camp that could be seen in the distance, and then took out a clairvoyant mirror and looked at it carefully, and could see that the Mongolian military camp was crowded, and it seemed that he was uneasy because of the roar in the gate.

"Do the Northern Captives come to attack every day?"

As soon as Xiao Ruxun asked like this, Chai Guozhu hurriedly replied: "Not really, I haven't come to attack since today." ”

"How did you attack before?"

"At the beginning, there were also measures to attack the city, and in recent days, it has basically been a long-range attack with siege weapons, using trebuchets and bed crossbows to attack the city, and most of the soldiers are feints, and there are few fierce attacks, but Rao is so, and the firepower is still strong."

Chai Guozhu obviously had lingering feelings about this.

"Has our army taken the initiative? Or is it a night raid? ”

Chai Guozhu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Chengliang, Li Chengliang's old face was red, and he didn't speak, Chai Guozhu could only stubbornly say: "The soldiers are not good at fighting, and they can't take the initiative to attack, so they can only be trapped." ”

"If the Northern Captives want to break through the Bauhinia Pass and plunder Gyeonggi, why would they make such a negative offensive on the premise of having 40,000 people?"

As soon as Xiao Ruxun asked this, Li Chengliang and Chai Guozhu continued to look at each other.

Xiao Ruxun put down the clairvoyant mirror, turned his head and asked Chai Guozhu: "General Chai, let me ask you, how did you get the number of 40,000 cavalry attacking the city in the north?" ”

"The scouts observed their banners, the number of camps, and the number of horses, including the first few days, there were people who came to persuade them to surrender, saying that 100,000 cavalry soldiers had come to attack the city, and told me to open the city and surrender as soon as possible, I don't believe it, but I think forty or fifty thousand is a more credible number."

Xiao Ruxun frowned and said: "Bluffing is one of the necessary tactics for marching operations, and there are fewer cases of 100,000 or 20,000 people claiming to be more than 100,000 people?" Is there still a small number of battles in which more than 100,000 people claim to be a million-strong army? 100,000 cavalry, even if they use their lives to pile up, with these forces to defend, Bauhinia Pass will not be able to hold on to this day.

If there were only forty or fifty thousand, then why did they not use soldiers to attack the city under the premise of having an advantage, but attacked the city with trebuchets and bed crossbows? Since we want to loot Gyeonggi, we should break through the Bauhinia Pass as soon as possible, give full play to the speed advantage of the cavalry, and grab and leave before our army can react, which is the consistent method of the northern captives.

And now they are so abnormal, Li Gong, Chai Zongbing, you haven't considered other possibilities? For example, they are bluffing, and their real purpose is not to attack Bauhinia Pass and plunder the Jingshi, but to have other plans? ”

"This ......"

Chai Guozhu didn't know how to answer, and Li Chengliang was stunned for a moment, and then the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

"We always position ourselves on the weak side, and we are used to defending and defending, but it is not three hundred years ago when the Mongol cavalry dominated the world, they have long since fallen apart, fighting separately on the steppe, and even killing each other.

Not to mention Temujin and Kublai Khan, there are no separatist forces like this, these 100,000 cavalry still don't know how they were pieced together, there is no unified command, there is no minimum unified power and orders, where did they have the confidence to launch such a strong attack on the Ming Dynasty? Isn't that strange? ”

Xiao Ruxun's successive questions made Chai Guozhu unable to say a word.

Li Rusong reacted a little.

"Admiral, do you mean that the purpose of these northern captives is not to attack Bauhinia Pass and plunder Gyeonggi at all, but to have other plans?"

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"And I suspect even more that we don't have more than 40,000 northern captives at all, and they are also bluffing! In order to scare us, contain us, and prevent us from going out of the battle! ”
