Chapter 423 It Was Just a Small Defeat!
"The general who was sent by Zheng Kai to cut off the queen."

"It's still an important task, why don't you kill him?"

"I can speak Chinese, and I claim my ancestral home is from Fujian. I think it might be useful to keep him." Ma Xianglin glanced at Huang Ping, who was always in love, and explained with a smile.

"That's right, General! I'm very familiar with this, and I can show you the way!" Huang Ping nodded repeatedly, expressing that he was very useful.

"Are you going to be a traitor?"

"But I'm a wise man!?" Huang Ping looked at Mu Tianbo with a natural look on his face.

This time Mu Tianbo was also speechless, this person is really shameless, he didn't have any psychological burden to betray his own country.

But since the decision to invade Cochin, it seems really good to have a guide.

Ma Xianglin and Mu Tianbo looked at each other, and they both saw a decision in each other's eyes.

"Since you claim to be a wise person, then don't kill me for the time being, but whether you can survive depends on your next performance."

"Yes! Thank you, General, for not killing me! The little one is willing to do his best for the General!" Huang Ping nodded his head like a kowtow.

"Get up. Don't be so full of words, whether you can survive or not depends on yourself."

Mu Tianbo didn't care about his loyal words, he waved his hand casually to make him stand up.

Next, they sent the wounded back to Daming territory.Then continue to march along the Taojiang River in the direction of Shenglong.

At the foot of a mountain in front of the Ming army, Zheng Kai's army was resting.

Since leaving the battlefield, they have been running non-stop for nearly two hours, and they didn't even have time to eat lunch.

At this time, the soldiers were tired and hungry, coupled with the frustration of fleeing after losing the battle, they were already exhausted.

Seeing that the marching speed was getting slower and slower, Zheng Kai had no choice but to order the whole army to stop advancing, and then found this place to rest.

At this time, Zheng Kai no longer had the high spirits he had before, and sat on the ground silently eating rice balls, looking more and more embarrassed.

The state of the soldiers was not much different from his. They were all downcast, like a group of defeated roosters.

Except for the occasional low moans of wounded soldiers, the entire camp was silent.

No one talks because everyone is unprepared for reality.As the commander-in-chief of this expedition, Zheng Kai's mood at this time was as sad as if his old lady had died.

They have roughly counted the casualties. In the battle just now, their casualties reached more than 6000 people.

What is even more unacceptable is not only the casualties, but that they have lost the courage to fight the Ming army.

What he has to consider is not just the casualties of soldiers, but what to do next?
Just escape all the way back to Thang Long?

That is impossible.

If he caused the Ming army to rampage and slaughter wantonly in the hinterland of Jiaozhi because he was only concerned about escaping, his guilt would be great.

Even if the generalissimo is his eldest brother, he is afraid that he will be punished by death, and he will not be able to escape the crime of life, and there will be no possibility of leading the army in the future.

After eating the rice ball in his hand, Zheng Kai sighed and stood up, calling for his soldiers.

"Convene the Lord to discuss matters here."

Zheng Kai once again carried forward the spirit of indecision and brainstorming.A group of generals who had discarded their helmets and armor came slowly, Zheng Kai saw it, and he was out of breath, and angrily reprimanded him.

"Look at all of you with disheveled clothes, how decent you are, it's just a small defeat, and it completely broke your spirits!?"

The generals looked at each other, looking at Zheng Kai with strange expressions.

It was only after seeing other people's expressions that Zheng Kai remembered the pair of shoes he had lost when he fled in embarrassment.

"Ahem~ I called everyone here to discuss what to do next. Don't lose confidence just because you lost this battle. As the old saying goes, don't be arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat. Only then can we face the next crisis! No matter how strong the Ming army is, they are still fighting in a foreign country, and it will not last long. As long as we grasp their weaknesses and hit them head-on, there must be a way to overcome them!"

As he spoke, Zheng Kai himself became impassioned, as if defeating the Ming army was just around the corner.

But his passion failed to infect all the generals, and all of them shrank their heads and said nothing.Seeing this, Zheng Kai's expression turned cold.

"What? But you don't believe what I say?"

"letter!"

"What the general said is very true!"

"Yes! Kill them sooner or later!"

Seeing that Zheng Kai was going to publish, a group of guys hurriedly responded.

"But general, the last general dares to ask, what is the weakness of the Ming army?"

A discordant voice sounded suddenly.

Zheng Kai saw that it was Huang Laosan.I wanted to reprimand a few words but held back.

"Huang Laosan, why are you in such a hurry? Isn't this what you are looking for? We need to sum up our combat experience and look for the enemy's weaknesses! Let's all talk about it, and it doesn't matter if you make a mistake."

Zheng Kai waved his hand, with an expression that allowed everyone to speak freely.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent again.

Ming army's weakness?
How can the Ming army have any weaknesses?
The combat power is strong, the defense is also strong, and the firearms are also sharp. Where can we find weaknesses?
If he has a weakness, he will be kicked out and run around like a dog?

A group of guys looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't say a word.

Zheng Kai was angry.

"What's the matter with you guys? You usually make a lot of bangs and bangs, but now you have nothing to say? The Ming army may be chasing after you. Let me think about it. If you can't figure it out, you will wait here." Die!"

"General."

A voice interrupted everyone's silence.

It's Hu Er Er!

Hu Er Er, who is resourceful and saves the poor!

"Second Hu! But did you think of a way?"

"General, the fighting power of the Ming army is obvious to all! To be honest, we have very little hope of winning head-on. But I think we have fallen into a misunderstanding. That is why we have to fight them head-on? Since ancient times, the more wins, the weak wins Strong examples abound. We may not be able to do it."

"Tell me about your method!" Zheng Kai cheered up.

"As we all know, they are not familiar with this place. We can use the terrain, dig traps, and engage in ambushes. We don't want to wipe them out, but to slow down their progress. When the reinforcements from Thang Long arrive, our war elephants Pentium, cannon fire! What kind of army formation can't be broken through? What kind of armor can't be broken?"

"Good! Good!"

There was light in Zheng Kai's eyes again!yes!

They go deep alone, and one soldier dies, one less, and he is not.

This is fighting in my own home, with a steady stream of soldiers and sufficient supplies, why do I have to go head-to-head with them?

It is absolutely possible to fight a protracted war with them, and when they wait for their supplies to be interrupted, they will naturally retreat without a fight!
"Second Hu, if you can successfully retreat from the enemy this time, I will definitely report to the Generalissimo, and I will credit you for your first contribution!"

"It is the honor of the last general to be able to share the worries of the general and the generalissimo. How dare you be greedy for credit!"

He said so, but there was already a proud smile on his face.
