After yesterday's extremely fierce battle, Chen Xin finally confirmed that Dolgon really couldn't attack the Lushun defense. Therefore, although he is very tired now, his mood is very happy.

Moreover, what made him even happier was that the 155mm heavy guns that he had arranged to stand by on the north wall of Lushun South City as the last killer weapon finally did not have to hide anymore, and these heavy guns could exert the greatest effect when the enemy was preparing to retreat.

At this point, the general situation of this war, which the Tartars took the initiative to provoke and launched with the strength of the whole country, is relatively clear, and Dolgon has lost.

Now it depends on whether Dorgon is willing to continue to fight for the sake of his own face.

The best result of this war was naturally that Dolgon was unwilling to accept the immediate defeat and continued to fight the Huaxia army here, so that the Huaxia army could rely on a series of well-established fortifications that would become stronger and stronger over time, and kill and injure a large number of the enemy's living forces, that is, the Jurchen population.

After all, as long as the Jurchen population is lost to a certain extent, the slave society established by the Houjin Institute will easily be disintegrated.

Moreover, if this stalemate continues, it can also consume a large amount of food and other materials that are already in extreme shortage in the country on the Tartar side, and consume its national strength.

And even if Dolgon learned wisely and was unwilling to spend any more, Chen Xin could launch those 155mm caliber heavy guns and chase the retreating Tartars and bomb them wildly.

Although it is not easy to produce such large-caliber shells, and there is a certain danger in transporting and preserving, the stock on the Lushun battlefield is not too much now.

However, the power of large-caliber high-explosive shells is there, and the army that still maintains a dense formation of battles in this era cannot hold out under the bombardment of such artillery.

As long as those 155mm heavy guns can take advantage of the gap in the retreat of the Tartars, seize the opportunity to bombard the retreat of the Tartars, and disrupt the retreat order of the Tartars, then the cavalry of the Huaxia Army can seize the opportunity to perform well in the chaos.

Even, if things go in a predetermined direction, even the infantry can rush forward and bite a large piece of meat on the Tartar, greatly expanding the results of this battle.

Chen Xin was in a better mood towards the beautiful things, and went to the door and sent someone to call Chief of Staff Liu and Political Commissar Huang of the Liaodong Dispatch Army of the Huaxia Army to meet, and the three of them patrolled the battle line together with the guard flag team.

Although the big guys are very tired, at this critical moment, Chen Xin, as the king of a country, as well as the chief of staff and political commissar of the command, must set an example and remind all the soldiers on the defense line that it is not the time to relax and be careful of the next move of the Tartars.

At the same time, Chen Xin also needs to go to Jiguan Mountain to observe the specific movements of Houjin, and then confirm what the main work should be today.

The group rode out of the north gate of Lushun South City on war horses, and happened to meet the reserve soldiers who returned to the city to rest, they sang military songs all the way, and walked on the avenue with high morale. They were the team responsible for night duty, and during the day they would rotate back to the barracks in the city to rest.

The expressions on the faces of these warriors were rich, and there was some excitement in the midst of fatigue. They had just inflicted heavy blows on the Tartars in the battle of yesterday, and the euphoria after a fierce battle, after a night of fermentation, not only did not fade, but became more and more high.

Chen Xin took the lead and walked to the side of the road, gave way to the troops on rotation, and waited until the whole team had passed before continuing out of the city.

At this time, it is just time to start the meal, and all kinds of pancakes, nests, and steamed buns are constantly wafting their own unique aroma everywhere with the opening of the steamer.

The cauldron of oily dishes stirred by the huge shovel is also constantly seducing the saliva of the soldiers, and the soup made of bones that are constantly rising and falling in the cauldron has attracted the attention of countless pairs of green eyes of the Toucheng coatings.

Chen Xin received two cakes at the headquarters of the mounted infantry battalion at the gate of the city, made a dish and a bowl of bone broth, and sat on a pony with Chief of Staff Liu and others.

Because he was on the battlefield, he didn't wear those good-looking and fancy military uniforms, just a simple training uniform, and if he didn't pay attention to the rank on the collar badge, he was basically no different from ordinary soldiers.

After taking a big bite and pulling a "set meal", Chen Xin felt that he was not full, but he did not fight for the dishes and soups that the soldiers liked, he took two cakes casually, and continued to walk while sneering.

After stepping out of the second rammed earth wall, it was suddenly lively, and in the open space between here and the first line of defense, the soldiers were constantly moving back and forth, and many auxiliaries were still building bags of earth on the rammed earth walls that had been damaged by the Tartars.

On the opposite side of the Houjin army, the sound of conch was blown as usual, and occasionally some light arrows shot by archers fell here, and the guards around Chen Xin were carefully observing the situation in the sky.

Chen Xin walked all the way west, to one of the places where the fighting was fiercest yesterday, that is, a defensive line facing the white flag, and along the way he would randomly talk to some soldiers on standby.

Everywhere he went, he could always cause bursts of cheers, and it seemed that wherever Chen Xin appeared, his morale would rise rapidly.

Chen Xin said to Chief of Staff Liu as he walked: "Dolgon's two yellow flags and the positive white flag have been scattered, and they have been mixed with the inlaid white flag, the positive blue flag, the inlaid blue flag, the positive red flag, and the inlaid red flag.

Among these banners, except for Zilharan and Duoduo, the other Tartar high-ranking officials were not very active in combat.

After the mixed formation, all of them in the Eight Banners will have to lose population, and the proportion of battle losses will be relatively even, and after the battle is completed, the strength comparison between their Eight Banners will not change too much.

I suspect that Dorgon had thought about it for a long time before making this decision, but it was not clear whether he wanted to give it a complete blow, or if he had other plans. ”

Chief of Staff Liu also smiled and reported to Chen Xin in a low voice: "In yesterday's battle, the Tartars should have lost at least 5,000 people.

We captured more than 500 real Tartars, and among the prisoners, there were 100 wounded who speculated in stocks.

Our army lost 200 soldiers killed and more than 400 seriously wounded, in addition to about 700 minor wounded of various kinds.

Our main casualties occurred in the area facing the blue flag, the white flag, and the white flag. These three places happened to be pro-Dolgon, and they were the key attack points selected by the Later Jin army.

From here, it can be seen that Dorgon is playing for real this time, and he has gambled his life with all his life. ”
