Zhu Jie knew that the current Manchurian army was in a state of passivity and chaos, and it was the best time for him to attack, but at this time, he could not send troops!

This is Zhu Jie's most depressed, there is no way, after more than a day of fierce fighting, the casualties of the soldiers of the Beijing camp are also not small, more than 5,000 people, and the remaining are only about 20,000 people, although after this battle, the combat power of the soldiers of the Beijing camp has been gradually liberated, but it is still not enough to defeat the Manchurian army, after all, even if the Manchurian army is defeated miserably, there are still at least 50,000 troops, of which there are still 20,000 people in the Manchurian elite alone, as for the combat power of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, it is also good, The strength is more than twice that of himself, such a force is still strong, and whether it is Wu Sangui or Tan Tai, they are all battle-hardened generals, with outstanding ability, and if they attack rashly, they may not be able to take advantage.

The most important thing is that now the Tianwei Army in Huai'an City has weakened to the extreme, and the three consecutive months of the war have consumed the physical strength and combat power of the Tianwei Army, and even run out of ammunition and food, without two or three days of repair, or even longer repair, the Tianwei Army will not be able to recover its peak combat power at all, and without the Tianwei Army, it is impossible to defeat Wu Sangui and Tan Tai.

No matter how anxious Zhu Jie is now, he can only wait, waiting for the recovery of the Tianwei Army's combat strength.

However, this time, the combat strength of the Tianwei Army was too badly damaged, and the three consecutive months of the war had heavy casualties, and the Tianwei Army, which had more than 20,000 people, now suffered nearly half of the casualties, even if the grain and grass were pulled into Huai'an City, it would take a period of rectification to do so.

Originally, Zhu Jie thought that he would be able to recover in three days, but as a result, it took seven days for his combat strength to recover almost.

"Your Majesty, now that the combat strength of the soldiers of the Tianwei Army has almost recovered, should we attack directly, defeat all the Manchurian Tartars in one fell swoop, go all the way north, and directly recover Shandong?"

Song Jiaxing came to Zhu Jie and said to Zhu Jie.

Zhu Jie stood up and said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, then prepare to fight, Jiaxing, tell me, how many troops do the Tianwei Army still have to fight?" ”

Song Jiaxing hurriedly said: "Emperor Qi, now the Tianwei Army can be put into the battle of 13,000 infantry, 4,000 cavalry, including more than 2,000 wounded soldiers, the rest of the people because of the repair in the past few days, have been relieved, in addition, we can also put into the battle There are still thirty cannons, the shells have been fully replenished, and the flintlock muskets have been damaged, there are more than 1,000 pieces, and all of them have been re-allocated ammunition. There are almost 40,000 troops, although the strength is still weaker than that of the Manchurian Tartars, but our firearms are sharp, and the Tianwei Army has recovered its combat strength, which is enough to form an absolute advantage over the Manchurian Tartars! ”

Zhu Jie shook his head and replied: "Okay, our Tianwei army is hard enough, all the wounded soldiers stay in the city, there is no need to fight, 15,000 Tianwei troops, 18,000 Beijing battalions, enough for us to deal with the Manchurian army that is now disheartened, this time, we must annihilate all the Manchurian Tartars south of Xuzhou!" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Jie stood up, pointed to the map hanging on the tent and said: "Look, the reason why I didn't enter Huai'an City is to facilitate the attack on the Manchurian Tartars, I led the army to advance from the west to the northeast, and approached the Manchurian Tartars, the army will definitely start a fierce battle in the northwest of Huai'an City, the Beijing camp has 15,000 infantry, and the Tianwei army has transferred out 8,000 infantry, 23,000 people, 4,000 muskets, and 60 artillery pieces, which is enough to form a sufficient threat to the Manchurian Tartars, and the Manchurian Tartars will definitely fight with all their might, at this time, Behind them, the defense must be empty, at this time it will be up to the city, the three thousand cavalry of the Beijing battalion will be handed over to you, plus the cavalry in the Tianwei army city, rush out from the north gate, and attack the back of the Manchurian Tartars, the Manchurian Tartars will be defeated by the enemy! ”

Song Jiaxing said with a smile: "I know, this time the big battle outside the city is the key, with more than 20,000 infantry, to resist the more than 30,000 cavalry of the Manchurian Tartars, plus more than 10,000 infantry, it is conceivable that the pressure of the frontal battlefield is over, however, this battle is still handed over to the minister, and please enter the city, if you are injured, don't command this operation, sit firmly in the Chinese military tent, and the minister will personally go out to meet the Manchurian elite!" ”

Zhu Jie glared and shouted, "Come less!" I'm a fart with such a little injury? Fighting on the battlefield, where is there anyone who is not injured? You're in command? The morale of these recruits in the Beijing camp is just rising, and if I am not there, will you be able to control their morale and emotions? Or can Xia Wanchun control this Jingying? What's more, it is the first joint battle between the Tianwei Army and the Beijing Battalion, and you can combine the combat power of the Tianwei Army and the Beijing Battalion? If you are not careful, if you let the Manchurian elite cavalry go crazy, then you may fall short! ”

Song Jiaxing's expression was stunned, what Zhu Jie said was not unreasonable, if he was just commanding the Tianwei Army, not to mention giving Song Jiaxing 20,000 or 30,000 troops, even if it was more than 10,000 troops, it would be able to resist the offensive of the Manchurian elite cavalry, but if it was the Tianwei Army and the Beijing Battalion, it would be enough to choke, after all, the Beijing Battalion had just been prepared, and Song Jiaxing almost didn't know a zombie under his command, how to fight? Xia Wanchun is even worse, his qualifications are too shallow, and he is still a little reluctant to command the Beijing camp, as for commanding the Tianwei Army, it is a joke, the arrogant soldiers of the Tianwei Army are not something that a small teenager can suppress.

"But, Your Majesty!"

Song Jiaxing smiled bitterly: "You took an arrow from Azig, we are already under tremendous pressure now, and when Yifan and Mu Feng come back, I'm afraid you don't want to play with me, if you make a little mistake, then the minister will have no way to live, otherwise, let Xia Wanchun command ......."

"Fart!"

Zhu Jie shouted: "You can't do it, Xia Wanchun is a little kid, how can you control the situation on the battlefield?" Can the Tianwei Army listen to him? ”

"Then transfer Lao Yang over! Anyway, the minister didn't promise you to personally command again, but the minister didn't dare......"

Song Jiaxing decided to carry it to the end.

"Yes, Your Majesty, what Lord Song said is right, no matter what, I can't let you charge into battle in person, the minister can't, then ask General Yang to come over, the two of us will command, presumably Lord Song alone will be able to control the Tianwei Army, right?"

Xia Wanchun echoed.

"Okay......"

Everyone was against Zhu Jie, and Zhu Jie had no choice but to make concessions, Song Jiaxing commanded the cavalry of Huai'an City and the cavalry of the Beijing camp, and Yang Chengzu was transferred outside the city to assist Zhu Jie in commanding.
