Chapter 644 Self-knowledge (fifth update)

So, Chen Jisheng immediately called over Jin Bishu and the village elder named Pu, and walked aside to whisper.

After hearing his somewhat cryptic words, Jin Bishu and the other two couldn't help but be surprised and happy to guess what he meant. They never thought that they might actually become citizens of the Kingdom of God. Doesn’t that mean that there is hope for the future?

Thinking of this, they became excited. They quickly expressed to Chen Jisheng that they would contact like-minded people in various ways and jointly submit the Book of Ten Thousand People to the Kingdom of China.

But after a while, Jin Bishu suddenly came back to his senses, and the happy look on his face disappeared. When the village elder surnamed Pu saw it, he asked in surprise: "Mayor, what's wrong?"

Chen Jisheng didn't know why. Looking at him, he thought he wanted to regret it, and his face looked a little ugly.

I saw Jin Bishu pointing in the direction of Jin Puzhen with his hand. Although he didn't say anything, what he wanted to express was very clear. There was a fight over there. If the Ming army lost, what would they talk about in the future?

When the others saw it, they all turned and looked in the direction of Jin Puzhen, silently. However, Chen Jisheng came to his senses first and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely win."

Jin Bishu and others nodded, but looking at their expressions, you could tell that they were really worried. But it was obvious that there was nothing they could do. The only thing they could do was pray.

At this time, in Jinpu Town, Cao Bianjiao could no longer sit still after hearing the sound of horse hoofbeats, so he left the house and happened to see Lu Xiangsheng returning to the town in triumph. He hurried up to meet them, and felt relieved when he saw that Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses seemed to be fine.

However, when he saw that Lu Xiangsheng's face seemed to look tired, and when he looked at his men who also looked tired, he suddenly understood. In the past few days of harassment battles, although they were better than Jianlu, they still had no rest. Now that we have been fighting for a while, it’s no wonder that we are not exhausted!

Cao Bianjiao naturally knew that what Lu Xiangsheng did was to create conditions for the new army. Even what Lu Xiangsheng did has far exceeded the previous plan. He understood that he might not have such a big face. The reason why Lu Xiangsheng worked so hard to create conditions for the new army was because the new army was the emperor's new army and a new army that the emperor had high hopes for. The first battle after the establishment must be won, preferably a big victory, so that the emperor can explain it easily.

Thinking of this, Cao Bianjiao felt that the burden on his shoulders became heavier. Even Lu Xiangsheng is like this. He is deeply favored by the emperor. If he doesn't behave better, why should he go back to face the emperor!

"Lord Zhongcheng, you and the hussar battalion should go and have a rest. The rest will be handed over to the new army. I promise that we can defeat the Jianlu and seize the food!" Cao Bianjiao took a few steps to meet Lu Xiangsheng and said sincerely He said with his fists clasped.

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng had a smile on his face, but he still shook his head and said, "It's okay. When Jianlu's grain truck arrives, I will let the new army show off without you having to say anything!"

After Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, he let the hussar camp rest, and he strode up the wall again, took the telescope from Gao Yingyuan who came up to him, and observed Jianlu's actions again.

Cao Bianjiao followed him silently, feeling helpless, so he also took out his telescope and looked in the direction of the official road. He hoped to see the grain truck soon so that the new army could go to war quickly.

"It seems that Duduo is just a little kid after all. He is unwilling to accept a big loss and is preparing for the next siege!" Lu Xiangsheng looked at it for a while, put down the telescope, and said with a smile on his face.

When Cao Bianjiao climbed up the wall, he could still see Jianlu sending people to clean up the dead bodies on the battlefield. Just looking at the number, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. In the past, after staying in Guan Ning's army for such a long time, I had never seen so many corpses of Jianlu.

The most important thing was that he could see at a glance that most of those corpses were real Manchu Tatars. So many people died at once, no wonder that Duduo became angry and wanted to organize an attack immediately!

"Haha, Master Zhongcheng killed so many enemies, he is really awesome!" Cao Bianjiao praised sincerely.

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng turned around and looked around the wall, looked at his men, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "If it weren't for your new army as the backing, let alone the battle behind it, even the battle in front would not be possible. It will be so easy. Look at how exhausted my Dongjiang Army is already! In the battle just now, if the archers of the new army had not participated in the battle, the Jianlu might have invaded the town!"

He is obviously different from ordinary civil servants. He has the straightforwardness of a military general. He points out one thing and another, and points out the contributions of the New Army.

Lu Xiangsheng turned back, looked at the Jianlu camp outside the town, and said with emotion: "According to my estimation, if there is no new army and only my Dongjiang Army in this town, it will be able to resist at most one wave of Jianlu attacks. Next time, I will definitely not be able to stop him. Jianlu’s strength is indeed very strong!”

When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he was about to make an excuse when he saw Gao Yingyuan suddenly said: "The emperor has decreed that this battle should not be delayed for a long time. The longer it takes, the more detrimental it will be to our army. To transport food back to Pi Island, at least there must be Just plan the day’s itinerary!”

The original plan was to start this battle tomorrow, and it would be best to end it within one day. But unexpectedly, Jianlu sent a forward battalion directly to Jinpu Town. As a result, the war has been advanced. There was a change in the plan. As the person in charge of the overall situation, Emperor Chongzhen reminded the two generals involved not to forget the time.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he nodded immediately. Just behind Jinpu Town, the official road branched off, and there was a smaller road leading to the seaside. Although riding a horse was fast, it would take at least one day to travel with a grain truck. This means that the Ming army not only had to defeat Jianlu and seize the grain carts, but also spent another day transporting grain. If grain and troops were added to the ship, it would take another day.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Bianjiao discussed the battle plan again to see where they needed to be changed appropriately. While they were discussing, Liu Xingzhi suddenly pointed to the outside of the town and said, "Master Zhongcheng, I'm afraid Jianlu is going to attack the town gate!"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he quickly took the telescope given to him just now and looked towards Jianlu. Sure enough, this time, Jianlu was not only building a new shield, but also made several thick bumping logs, which could be used to hit the town gate or the wall.

Not only that, he also saw the Korean officers and Han troops in the Jianlu army arriving in front of the Jianlu camp and eating dry food at this time. Anyone with some experience can tell after just a quick look that the next attack will probably be led by the North Korean officers and Han troops.

"Lord Zhongcheng, this is Jianlu's usual move!" Liu Xingzhi has been on both sides of the enemy and we are naturally familiar with Jianlu's attack methods. He quickly explained, "This kind of siege method like Jianlu's will cause more casualties, but It consumes the energy of the defender the most, and it can easily create opportunities for the elite Jianlu troops behind them. Next time, they may be able to attack!"
