Chapter 38 Experience

When he returned to the military camp, Chen Wen toasted the soldiers as usual. In fact, he had organized a celebration banquet yesterday, but at that time, because Dongyang County had not yet left, he only rewarded some meat and was spared. And now that he had already taken the city and there was no Qing army who could fight with him, it was understandable to drink appropriately.

After celebrating one by one, Chen Wen became a little drunk. After returning to the main seat and using some food, he got up and returned to the room he lived in.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Chen Wen, who drank a lot of wine on an empty stomach, walked on the dirt road in the camp under the escort of his personal soldiers. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Toasting at the celebration banquet is the practice that Chen Wen has been on the celebration banquet since he won the competition with the Central Camp on Dalan Mountain. However, when he recalls that celebration banquet, he sighs that things are different.

It was August 29th in the fifth year of Yongli, and more than a year had passed since the celebration banquet. The Central Camp garrison, who was the opponent at that time, had already died for his country, and even the few people watching the ceremony on the military ordering platform were left.

In the battle on the banks of Siming Lake, Huang Zhongdao fought to die for his country, Chen Diaolun and others disappeared, while Wang Yi was captured with all his might. Even though there was no news of his death in the country, Chen Wen knew that Wang Yi would never surrender, and he would definitely embrace the coming of fate as in history.

After that battle, Feng Jingdi was presented to the Qing army by Wang Sheng as in history, and died unyieldingly; Chu Suxian was beheaded and displayed for public robbery, and his brother Chu Jiuru later became a monk. Even the surviving Mao Mingshan escaped from the Ming army sequence of Dalan Mountain and disappeared without a trace.

However, the dead are gone, and the living are like this. After this period of hard work and evacuated from Siming Mountain, the remaining remaining troops of the Ming army finally regained a base area after nearly a year of conquering the Qing army by Dalan Mountain.

Finally, a new life has arrived.

The celebration banquet in the camp was still in progress. Chen Wen drank some tea and used it to sober up and began to think about how to carry out the next action.

According to the agreement with Wang Jiang before leaving Tiantai Mountain, Chen Wenhui sent messengers after occupying Dongyang County. After receiving the news, the old camp would also come to Dongyang County by Wu Dengke, the general in charge of the left-behind old camp. The road they took was discovered by Li Ruixin, another deputy general who was left-behind, and the road was more suitable for large-scale migration.

However, as early as yesterday, after defeating the main force of the Qing army, Chen Wen had sent messengers after consciously overestimating the capabilities of the Qing army in Jinhua Prefecture. Those messengers who set out from Lizhai Town would ride their horses along the road and head straight for the temporary old camp on Tiantai Mountain.

Now, for Chen Wen, what is left is how to occupy a larger territory before Wang Jiang arrives, and then roll the snowball up with his outstanding administrative ability and Chen Wen's military-leading knowledge and philosophy.

Of course, if the advanced concept cannot match the tradition and technology of the current era, it will be just a bunch of delusions. So Chen Wen summoned several officers and soldiers of the Qing army surrendered soldiers who had ordered Yin Yue to select overnight to absorb the experience of the corrupt and backward cold weapon army attacking and defending the city.

When the officers and soldiers who surrendered to the Qing army were led to Chen Wen's residence, Chen Wen had already recorded his personal summary of his experience when siegeing the city on the manuscript. This was his habit. He recorded all the experiences, took the essence, removed the dross, and promoted training, thereby improving the overall combat effectiveness of the army.

After seeing those Qing troops, Chen Wen was too lazy to greet him, but he only thought that he was trying to compare their knowledge about siege and defending the city.

However, the previous battle of Nantang Camp really scared them. Now Chen Wen asked them about their knowledge and experience on siege and defending the city. These people thought that Chen Wen was testing their abilities and then clearing out the threat. Even though he said "not daring" but failed, he did not dare to openly speak.

However, although Chen Wen drank some wine, his mind was still very clear. As he listened, he discovered the trick. Seeing this, Chen Wen expressed his attitude that what he wanted to hear was all the experiences of the Qing army. At the same time, he took out a dozen notes, including red and white, thinking that he would reward him.

Before the siege, Chen Wen promised that he would decide the subsequent treatment of these Qing troops based on notes. One red one is equal to three white ones. The more notes in his hand, the more the Qing army, it means that he did more things for the Ming army, and the better the treatment will naturally be.

With such a simple truth, the surrendered soldiers of the Qing army naturally did not have much effort to accept them. Therefore, when it was discovered that Chen Wen was not very stingy with the surrendered soldiers who were willing to work hard, the credit of these currencies was easily established.

Seeing Chen Wen take out the note, the Qing army no longer hesitated and quickly poured out everything they knew, fearing that they would be executed by the Ming army because they said one or two less at this moment.

But when several people said that Chen Wen could not resist, they could only say one by one. After saying something worth adopting, they could get a note on the spot, meaningless or repeated it to the previous one, and there would be nothing. In this way, everyone had opportunities, and they were afraid that others would say it in advance to win more notes, these surrendered soldiers would also say everything they thought in their hearts as much as possible, just like a prisoner's dilemma.

But to be honest, the two officers have to take advantage of it...

"March Ching, as far as the sinners know, there are many ways to attack the city. For example, the king's ants attack is the right way. He can also dig tunnels into the city, burn tower walls, and send insiders to grab the city gates, or even use cannons to open the city gates. The sinner thought of these things for a moment, and there are actually some more."

"Then the defenders have no means to deal with it?"

"Of course, there are many ways to deal with the ants attacking the city. You can also press the water tank upside down near the city wall by digging tunnels. You can use people with extraordinary hearing or dumb surveillance. Once you find the location of the tunnels, you can dig trenches in the city, or use smoke or water to kill the digging enemy troops, and then block them. Even if the city gate is opened, you can use a door-to-door knife chariot to block it."

"oh."

The surrendered officer's content was very rich and detailed. After Chen Wen took the notes, he sent him a red note and a white note, and turned to the next surrendered officer.

"Report to General Chen, the sinner thinks that it is true that the king's army is responsible for speed in siege in this siege. But if he sieges the city in the future, he should prepare more equipment for the siege."

"What equipment do you think is more effective."

The officer actually didn't think about it all at this time. He just looked at the few comrades staring at him and said what he thought of first.

"The king's lord uses ladders and rushing cars this time. In fact, he can also use a nest chariot to load bird gunners and crossbowmen to suppress the Tartars on the city, and of course he can also use a catapult."

Chen Wen of Chaoche can understand that in addition to suppressing the city-defense troops, he can also observe the enemy situation, but...

"Why use a catapult?"

The officer bowed his hand and then shook his bag out. "It was to deal with the use of Yinmen formations by the defenders in the city."

The so-called Yinmen Formation is to let a woman stand naked in front of the formation or above the city wall, and use the Yin symbolized by a woman to make the other party's firearm fail.

This tactic sounds ridiculous, especially the idea of ​​using Yin energy to suppress the burning of gunpowder is full of feudal superstitious ideas. However, in history, the matter of interfering with the launch of firearms has really been successful. Even in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, Vietnam once used female soldiers to fight naked, which is also an extension of Yinmen formation in modern warfare.

Of course, although this formation is mysterious, it is not without restraint.

"Can we use the method of scattering blood or burning sheep horns to restrain the Yinmen formation, or to set up the Yangmen formation to restore the firearm to use?"

When the Qing army heard Chen Wen's statement, they immediately became respectful. The Ming army commander in front of him was indeed well versed in military tactics, no wonder he could easily defeat them.

"Military Chen is wise. If the Tartars use the Yinmen Formation, the King of Masters can use the Yangmen Formation to fight against it. To ensure the safety of the situation, the sinner thought it would be better to ask some monks to break the formation in front of the formation. It is best to use black dogs to ensure the prosperity of the Yang energy."

Seeing that the surrendered officer seemed to have to continue talking, Chen Wen waved his hand and said that he knew this formation very well. Without further ado, he pulled out a red note and handed it to the officer. After all, the nest cart that this guy had mentioned before was still relatively reliable. As for correcting this wrong concept, let's forget it. Does Chen Wen need to popularize science for these surrendered soldiers in the Qing army?

In contrast, the knowledge of siege and defending cities by several surrendered soldiers was far less abundant than that of officers, but they were at the forefront of siege and defending cities, and they still had a lot of experience to be used, such as...

"March chen, the sinner thinks that rolling wood and stones during the siege is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is gold juice. As long as it sticks a little, it may lose its life. It is really amazing."

The golden juice here is not the kind of Chinese medicine to clear heat and detoxify, but uses boiled feces and urine to water the enemy troops attacking the city. In addition to burning the enemy, it can also cause the injured to die by infecting the wound. Although this kind of weapon defending the city sounds disgusting, it is quite practical.

In this way, Chen Wen spent most of the night and finally squeezed out the Qing army. While packing the notes, Chen Wen also asked the officers who escorted them to take the same satisfied surrendered Qing army soldiers again.
