84, Niu Jinxing offers advice face to face, the British public is hesitant
In the Ming army camp, the British Duke was a little restless.
Zhu Cilang has been setting off for almost two hours, and the sky is about to turn dark, but he has not come back yet.
A sound of footsteps came, and the British Duke suddenly looked up, but found that Li Guozhen was walking in, so he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Have Your Highness the Crown Prince returned?" "Not yet."
After a brief conversation, the tent fell into silence.
Finally, the British Duke couldn't help but stand up and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiangcheng, you are in charge of the camp, I will take a group of troops to pick up His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Li Guozhen was stunned for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness leads the most elite cavalry among the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and I believe there will be no accident."
Britain said justice: "That's true, but His Highness the Crown Prince still lacks this kind of experience in field combat. If it is blocked by Li Zicheng's troops halfway, it will be troublesome. If something happens to His Highness the Crown Prince, then you and I will never redeem it!"
This sentence convinced Li Guozhen. He sighed and said, "Be careful, Duke of England."
At this moment, another sound of footsteps sounded, and then Zhu Cilang's voice sounded: "Duke of England, I have captured you the one you want!"
The British Duke was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and even ignored the majesty of the Lord and rushed out of the tent directly.
Zhu Cilang walked over calmly. Behind the prince, a middle-aged man was tied up and pushed by several soldiers.
At a little further back, Zheng Jiaolin dodged his expression and looked around, not daring to look at the British Duke.
The British Duke laughed out loud on the spot: "Niu Jinxing? That's great, it's so great Your Highness!"
Li Guozhen, who followed behind the British Duke, was also stunned when he saw Niu Jinxing.
No, the prince said that he could catch Niu Jinxing, but he could really catch Niu Jinxing?
This is simply the legendary saying and saying the truth!
Li Guozhen was in a mess and didn't know what to say for a while.
Everyone quickly entered the tent, and it was not until this time that Zhu Cilang finally spoke: "Okay, our military advisor Niu has been holding it in for a long time, let him talk."
The rag in Niu Jinxing's mouth was finally taken out. He felt relieved. He took a few breaths, and then coughed again.
Zhu Cilang smiled and said to Niu Jinxing: "Mr. Niu, you have fallen into our hands. You should know that your words are important next, because that will depend on how we deal with you."
Niu Jinxing's face was in turmoil, and he swallowed with difficulty, saying, "Your Highness, don't kill me, I will say everything, and I can explain everything!"
From the moment he entered the Ming army camp, Niu Jinxing knew that he was completely finished. Even if the Dashun Army could really win the next decisive battle, Niu Jinxing would be likely to be killed by the defeated Ming army.
If you want to survive, Niu Jinxing actually has no choice but to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty's official army.
As for what happened next, I can only take one step at a time.
To put it bluntly, Niu Jinxing himself is not a principled person. He was a juren from the Ming Dynasty before. Why did he follow Li Zicheng? It was because after some things happened, the court had no place to stay.
After listening to Niu Jinxing's words, all the Ming generals present felt relieved.
At present, the strength of the Ming army is obviously not as good as that of the Dashun army, but once Niu Jinxing is an insider, things will be completely different.
Thinking of this, the British Duke couldn't help but look at Zhu Cixuan again.
It is amazing that this prince can catch Li Zicheng's number one think tank just by going out. Could it be that he has really been favored by the spirits of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty in heaven?
As for Zheng Jiaolin beside him, he had nothing to say. Zheng Jiaolin led five hundred Guanning cavalry all the way and witnessed Zhu Cilang's actions with his own eyes.
He knew very well that Zhu Cilang had already targeted that manor from the very beginning, and knew that Niu Jinxing must have existed there.
Could it be that this fifteen-year-old prince has reached this point of being able to understand his position even within the Dashun Army and informed him of Niu Jinxing’s location?
Zheng Jiaolin suddenly felt that maybe he had looked down on this prince too much before!
Zhu Cilang was quite calm, staring at Niu Jinxing, and was also curious. What kind of information can Niu Jinxing, the first dog-headed military advisor, have?
Niu Jinxing said: "Now Your...Li Zicheng, the total force he has should be around 300,000."
After hearing this, everyone present took a breath.
The British Duke said in a lost voice: "300,000 people?"
This is a fart.
Niu Jinxing said next: "But these troops are only nominal, and in fact there are only about 100,000 troops in Gu'an."
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Niu Jinxing with bad eyes. You just like to breathe heavily when you speak, right?
Niu Jinxing also noticed it and hurriedly said, "Even if there are these 100,000 people, a large part of them are not directly under Li Zicheng, but the surrender of the Ming Dynasty's official army. In fact, there are only about 50,000 elite troops who truly belong to Li Zicheng.
The 50,000 people are based on the northwest border army and the people in northern Shaanxi. Most of them are veterans who have followed Li Zicheng for more than five years. They have the strongest combat ability and are the most loyal to Li Zicheng.
If His Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of the State want to defeat Li Zicheng, Niu's suggestion is to directly use all his strength to attack Li Zicheng's 50,000 elite troops. As long as he can defeat these 50,000 people, the court will undoubtedly win."
After Niu Jinxing finished speaking, a brief silence fell into the tent.
Everyone was thinking, whether this Niu Jinxing’s plan could work or not.
The British Duke thought for a while and asked, "Come on, take Military Advisor Niu first."
After Niu Jinxing was taken away, the British Duke spoke again: "What do you think?"
Li Guozhen frowned and said, "If what Niu Jinxing said is true, then you might as well listen to him once. But the question is, how can we make sure what he said is true?"
Gao Jie came up with an idea: "Maybe we can find a few people who can interrogate and serve them with great punishment."
The British Duke looked at Zhu Cixuan: "Your Highness, what do you think?"
Zhu Cixuan shrugged: "I really don't understand this. Duke of England, please do it."
Zhu Ciyang is a modern man. In his previous life, he only saw wars on TV screens. How could he understand these real military strategies?
After a pause, Zhu Cilang said, "But I think that Niu Jinxing should still have a certain degree of credibility."
Zhu Cilang thought that since it was a task issued by the system to capture Niu Jinxing, it means that Niu Jinxing can help the Ming Dynasty win, which is such a logic.
