Geng Jingzhong's face was very ugly, partly because of the heavy rain, but more importantly, he found out that these soldiers under his command were retreating.

This has never happened before, in the past, they only cowered under the iron hooves of the Manchu Eight Banners and did not dare to fight, and this has never been the case in the face of the Han army, and now Geng Jingzhong sees this kind of shadow from them.

Thinking of this, his brows furrowed even tighter, so this situation couldn't help but make him start to think about the way back, if it really occupies half of the two lakes, Wu Sangui is fighting with the Manchus with all his might, and may not have the ability to turn his face with them, as long as Wu Sangui does not fight them, the army in Sichuan behind will never dare to come out, after the first day of fighting, he has a feeling that these people may have high morale, but the battle is not much, so as long as the Geng Shang coalition army chokes this throat, they are destined to hold in Sichuan, and they don't want to take a step into the two lakes.

Suddenly, Geng Jingzhong was taken aback by his own thoughts, and he was a little amazed, when did he start the idea of fighting the two lakes, maybe on the first day when the iron cable appeared, or on the day of the defeat when he was killed underwater. Thinking of this, he shook his head and threw this thought behind him fiercely, this idea must not be had, the land of the two lakes is definitely not suitable for the development of Geng Shang's coalition army.

Shang Zhixin also fought with Shang Kexi, and he also felt that something was wrong: "Brother Geng, you see why our soldiers keep retreating. ”

Geng Jingzhong smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Retreating on the battlefield is naturally because the momentum has been suppressed by others, and I am afraid that today's war will not be able to be fought again." ”

Shang Zhixin was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Why don't you fight?" We finally seized this opportunity, if we miss this opportunity, we will have to let the artillery bombard when we fight again in the future, and the situation may not be better than now. ”

Geng Jingzhong coughed: "You have a point, it's just that we have been fighting for a long time during the day, and we have been fighting fiercely in the rain at night, and now the morale of the brothers is not high, if we continue to fight, I am afraid that we will be defeated, although there are many of us, but once we are defeated, the position will not be suppressed, and then the casualties will not be these people in front of us." ”

Shang Zhixin's face changed a few times, although his ability was not as good as Geng Jingzhong, but he still had knowledge, he knew that Geng Jingzhong was reasonable, but the feeling that the cooked duck in front of him was about to fly really made him a little unhappy, he was reluctant to look at Geng Jingzhong: "You see there are still a few iron cables left, let's fight again to attack the city, if they withdraw now, how about they arrange new iron cables?" ”

Geng Jingzhong was also a little reluctant to give up this great opportunity, and gritted his teeth: "Just do what Brother Shang Shi said, let's hold on for another half an hour, if there is no advance after half an hour, we will withdraw immediately." ”

Shang Zhixin's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he yelled at the soldiers in the rain: "Remove an iron cable, reward a hundred taels of silver, this king counts when he speaks!" ”

His words may not be able to reach the ears of every soldier, so the guards behind him immediately shouted in unison: "The prince said, remove an iron rope and reward a hundred taels of silver!" ”

The shouting was very loud, and they all heard Cheng Xiaolian at the head of the city, Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Qin Yue: "Lord Qin, they are also poor in donkey skills, and they can only use silver to hard top, if they dismantle the iron cable today, it is better to say, if they can't dismantle the iron cable, I am afraid that it will not be easy to use next time." ”

Qin Yue nodded: "That's right, this way of rewarding soldiers with gold and silver has a quick effect, but it can't be commonly used, because it can't be cashed out the first time, and the soldiers' feelings about gold and silver will become weaker and weaker in the future." I'm afraid that the next time they attack the city again, they will shout this sentence again, and not many soldiers will be moved. ”

Yang Youcai coughed on the side: "Let's defend today's city first, although I can't see any scenes below, but to be honest, I'm a little moved by a hundred taels of silver." ”

At this time, Jia Xu suddenly opened his mouth: "Your Highness, we can throw palm thunder to calm them down, as long as their momentum is stopped, it will be difficult to muster up momentum." ”

Jin Ming's face suddenly sank when he heard this: "The following are all his own brothers, if this kind of thing is done, let alone the brothers in the city, what will the brothers behind us think?" ”

Jia Xu immediately understood that he had committed the anger of the people, and he only thought about how to defend the city in the best way, but he did not think that this method of killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 would hurt the feelings of his brothers.

Qin Yue didn't speak, because after listening to it, he also knew that this was a very good way, there were not as many brothers as the other party underwater, and now the morale of the other party was in full swing, if he threw the palm thunder, the enemy's attack momentum would immediately collapse, and today's pass could be regarded as successfully defended. It's just that the brothers in the water are afraid that there will be resentment in their hearts, and the brothers behind them know the truth, and they are afraid that the high morale will also plummet in an instant.

Cheng Xiaolian laughed, but he didn't blame Jia Xu, Jia Xu's words had already made the soldiers around him unhappy, and he suppressed a few more words to make his position even more embarrassing, but he just said: "Although the method is good, but we don't need it, the brothers are fighting desperately below, we can't put cold arrows behind their backs to chill their hearts, you think about what other good ways are there." ”

Yang Youcai was stunned for a moment and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, what Jia Shusheng said is a good way, as long as you throw the palm thunder down, you can suppress their momentum, and the brothers below can also die less, Ci is not in charge of the army." ”

Cheng Xiaolian suppressed his voice so that only the two of them could hear it: "With such a heavy rain, the artillery is damp, can the palm thunder be useful?" If it doesn't work, let's throw that thing down, it will really be a loss to the lady and a soldier. ”

Cheng Xiaolian is very unsure about the quality of the palm thunder, this thing is made by hand, I really don't know if it can be waterproof, if it really doesn't sound at all, next time I will find someone to go down and fight with Geng Shang's coalition army, which one will be willing. Therefore, Cheng Xiaolian will never do this kind of trading that is stable and unprofitable.

Yang Youcai showed a look of sudden realization, and praised loudly: "Your Highness is benevolent, and your subordinates admire!" ”

Although Qin Yue didn't know what Cheng Xiaolian and Yang Youcai said, but since Yang Youcai also felt that it made sense, he didn't ask anymore, Yang Youcai He understood, he was ruthless, and he would never give up the chance to win the battle because of the lives of these brothers in the city.

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly: "This damn heavy rain, our fire oil can't be used, otherwise we can ease their momentum." ”

Yang Youcai looked up at the weather: "This heavy rain is estimated to be unable to stop for a while and a half, Lord Qin should not think about the matter of fire oil, let's hurry up and prepare some more brothers, I estimate that the following brothers will not be able to hold on." ”
