Dorbo was speechless, looking at Chen Zhiyuan, waiting for Chen Zhiyuan to continue talking.

"But these people in the throne are repeating the past. Although they know that the firearm is sharp, they abandon it for their own selfish interests. They call it "this is the inherent tradition of protecting the Manchu warriors... Jixiha, Lan Bai and others are among the best."

Speaking of this, Chen Zhiyuan looked at Doerbo and said, "The person who pretends to be asleep can never wake up... Prince, if you want a person to have a memory, you have to let him taste the taste of failure personally. Jishiha, Lan Bai and others need this taste to make them have a memory. Only in this way can the prince form and expand the firearm army in the future, so that all kinds of unnecessary obstacles will be reduced."

Dorbo nodded and said, "I remember the good words of the prince, I've remembered...but, if Jishiha is defeated, Ama's army of two flags... The prince can't destroy the army of two flags just to give them a memory, right?"

Chen Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, prince, I have a sense of responsibility... In this battle, Jixiha will only lose at most and will never be hurt."

Dorbo asked in confusion: "It is said that the defeat is like a mountain... Why did the prince conclude so?"

"Wu Zheng's military strength in Xuzhou is insufficient and it is difficult to supply... In fact, the financial resources of the General's Mansion have reached its limit. I have 30,000 troops stationed in Duangguzhou. Wu Zheng must be careful, otherwise it will be a desperate battle. This is one of them. In addition, I just received the report that Hangzhou Prefecture is facing the threat of a joint fleet from overseas soldiers. The cause is that Wu Zheng's General's Mansion forcibly requisitioned merchants from various countries for this battle to hoard goods. In this way, Wu Zheng must immediately rush back to Hangzhou to put out the fire, and naturally there will be no energy to fight our army in Xuzhou. Finally, if Wu Zheng fights with me, both sides will be in the defeat. Who will be the one who truly benefited?"

Dorbo thought for a while and said, "Yixing Dynasty...and Zheng Sen and Yongli Dynasty in the south, right?"

Chen Zhiyuan smiled and nodded and said, "The prince is indeed extremely intelligent, but the prince missed one."

Dorbo's heart moved and he rushed, "I'm going to go?"

"That's right. The most benefit is the court. Once our army is damaged and its strength is weakened, the deployment of the former king to occupy the four prefectures to seek the crown prince's independence will not be realized. The court can write an edict to force the crown prince back to the capital, and in the end the crown prince might spend his life with a false title, which is still good."

Dorbo's face changed, and after thinking about it, he finally asked the question he had been worried about, "Are we really going to oppose the court?"

Chen Zhiyuan looked upright and said to Doerbo seriously: "Have the former king had not yet been cold, did the prince forget the revenge of killing his father?"

Dorbona said, "But Ama died at the hands of Wu Zheng."

"No!" Chen Zhiyuan retorted flatly, "If it weren't for the court, Prince Ying would not save him when he saw death, how could Xuzhou be occupied by Wu? If it weren't for the court's desire to get rid of the prince and get out of the prince, how could the prince rather die than return to the capital? The prince was forced to death by the court! There is no doubt about this!"

Dorbo nodded in a daze, "What the prince said is reasonable, yes...but I don't want to fight against the court."

Chen Zhiyuan sneered: "I didn't say I wanted to rebel, and the prince didn't mean that... The prince meant to establish himself according to the four palaces and compete with the court... In fact, according to the prince's identity, there are fewer places in these four palaces... The prince can just regard it as a fiefdom and then a vassal."

When Dorbo heard this, he laughed, "It's reasonable to hear what the prince said. Ama is the regent of the emperor's father. This world should have a place for Ama. As the prince, it is even more reasonable for me to inherit my father's embrace."

....

After all, Wu Zheng is not a god and can completely predict every detail of the battlefield.

For example, the Qing army had heavy iron armored soldiers.

The musket projectiles hit the gun and there were only a few sparks.

Only by hitting head-on can it cause certain damage to the enemy.

Jixiha is not stupid. He hasn't prevented the Northern Expedition Army's firearms by this time, so he deserves to die.

Jixiha's deployment is in a proper manner, of course, this refers to the combat method of the Qing army.

Three hundred armored soldiers first climbed, three thousand infantrymen used to climb the wall followed, and finally one thousand crossbowmen were overthrowing the formation. In Wu Zheng's words, this formation will remain unchanged for thirty years.

But it was this formation that caused the Northern Expedition Army to suffer a lot.

Use the tiger squat cannon to suppress it. The explosion and splashing shrapnel will not cause any damage to the armored soldiers unless they hit it directly.

If you get closer, enter the range of muskets. Let's fight the iron armored soldiers first. It will be useless to spend the guns and bullets, but the infantry behind them are outside the range and there are iron armored soldiers blocking them.

Let it get closer, okay, the enemy archers start to move, and that is a war of attrition that harms each other.

This time, the guard of Huling City was Yue Xiaolin and Wu Zheng's deputy captain of the personal guard.

When Yue Xiaolin was in the military academy, he was not as good as Lu Jincai in fighting, not as good as Shi Kun in running, and not as good as Qi Jiahao's brothers in shooting, but he had one characteristic, he was good at learning.

This sounds contradictory, but in fact, there are many such people.

Innate deficiencies make them inferior to others in everything, but to survive, you have to make twice as much effort or even several times more than others.

The reason why Yue Xiaolin can stand out and become Wu Zheng’s deputy captain of his personal guard is that Wu Zheng saw this advantage.

If he didn't send Lu Jincai as the captain, but Yue Xiaolin, Wu Zheng naturally had his considerations.

After briefly being numb, Yue Xiaolin quickly ordered the stop of shooting at the iron armored soldiers. He asked the defenders to put the three hundred armored soldiers on the city tower.

This order is indeed abrupt and even dangerous.

You know, Huling City is small, and the city tower is naturally small. The city tower that can accommodate 800 defenders has long been overcrowded.

If the iron-armored soldiers were allowed to go up to the city tower, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Therefore, Yue Xiaolin's order is extremely controversial!

Due to Yue Xiaolin's "private conscience", the enemy's iron-armored soldiers almost successfully climbed the city wall.

The defenders on the city tower had retreated a few feet away, almost shooting against the iron armored soldiers, and threw dense grenades. However, the iron armored soldiers not only had iron armor, but also had iron faces. After the smoke and dust dissipated, except for a dozen who were indeed unlucky, perhaps shrapnel splashed and hit their gap, they were most likely standing intact. Then the iron armored soldiers took heavy steps step by step and pressed towards the defenders.

Under the city wall, the enemy infantry that had reached the city wall began to climb the wall, and the archers began to shoot arrows on the city tower indiscriminately. In fact, muskets and grenades could not do anything to the iron armored soldiers, and the arrows were just tickling.

The casualties of the defenders began to appear.

The situation is at stake.

Is Yue Xiaolin stupid?

Of course he is not stupid!

If he is stupid, he will be the guard general. Wouldn't Wu Zheng be even more stupid?

Yue Xiaolin is good at learning and imitating, and at the same time learns from his strengths and makes up for his weaknesses, and improves through learning and imitation.

This is something that Lu Jincai, Shi Kun and other military academy students do not have.
