Chapter 16 Undercurrent
"But, young master, if we are just like us, we may not be able to stop the Burmese people! Besides, even if they may be treacherous, aren't they also able to fulfill their promises? I think, since we have a chance, we should give it a try!" Chen Youqing said boldly, looking back at everyone, and everyone was in harmony.
Chen Shiqing smiled and shook his head and said, "Do you have not grown your brain or what? Aina has already sent a letter and notified the Grandmaster to come and take us immediately. Now, we have to bring a bunch of Burmese heads back to receive the reward. Even if the Burmese people outside keep their word, how can we explain to the Grandmaster? Do you explain, or do you explain?"
"The Grand Marshal is not a fool. We occupied Shiguan and went back with the head. Can we tell it clearly? The Grand Marshal is not unable to see our lies. When we go back like this, we obviously became deserters. The Grand Marshal was angry. Do you think we can kill all of us?"
"I'm still thinking about going back to get promoted and getting rich. I think you're tired of living, right? At that time, not only will we die, but our family members will also be implicated. If you are not careful, you will be killed in the whole family!"
Chen Shiqing's angry reprimand cast a shadow on everyone's heart. Now thinking about it, everything is really like this! How can we easily entrust all our hopes to the Burmese people? Aren't we just being fools and falling into the trap of others?
An Eight Banners soldier asked timidly: "Sir, since you don't plan to accept the Burmese proposal, why do you still say you should consider it and discuss it?"
Chen Shiqing was amused by the IQ of the Eight Banners soldier and couldn't help but smile and said, "Is this a matter of delaying time! When the people who dragged us came, we don't have to fight, do you know?"
Everyone nodded in agreement at this time. After all, there are too many enemies, and fighting hard is not a solution, and some wisdom must be used.
Jade guessed that Chen Shiqing was trapped in the meeting and looked proudly at the crowded Qing army on the city wall of Shiguan. To be honest, he felt very embarrassed to let him and the Qing army use strategies. The combat power of the Qing army has always been weak, weak, and then continued to be weak. He was beaten by the Burmese people. One thousand Burmese soldiers could kill three thousand Qing troops face to face, and even the three thousand Qing troops did not dare to fight in a joint battle, and they were about to collapse.
The Burmese people did not take the Qing army's repeated attacks seriously. They were not afraid of such a Qing army. They were simply sent equipment. Every time they fought against the Qing army, the Burmese people could not only kill and injure the Qing army in large quantities, capture many slaves, seize countless war horse equipment, but also take the opportunity to cross the border and robbed Yunnan and plunder.
Therefore, compared with the Qing army that was afraid of war, the Burmese people were more eager for the coming of war. This time, he guessed that he had encountered the most elite unit of the Qing army, and the other party was waiting for his work and occupied the geographical advantage, so the Myanmar army suffered a little loss, which forced him to use tricks to provoke the other party.
After waiting for a long time, Shi Gui was a little impatient. It seemed that if they didn't put some pressure on these Qing people, they wouldn't make a choice immediately, and they still fantasize about how to resist to the end?
"Hey! Chen Shiqing, I have given you a long enough time. Why haven't you made a choice yet? Are you declaring war on me now?" Jacé shouted in anger.
"No, don't be angry, please don't be angry. We are not intentionally perfunctory, we are just discussing. You also know that there are dozens of people here, and it is inevitable that our ideas are not unified. Everyone is discussing! We will make a choice soon, please don't worry." Chen Shiqing smiled.
"Hmph, it's not your word. Do you have any. Do you have dozens of people? Are you dozens of people all the superiors?" Chacha said dissatisfiedly as Chen Shiqing's old-fashioned tone.
Chen Shiqing smiled and said, "To be honest, our Qing army has always been about military democracy. We have to discuss everything together, and we cannot open a single-man show. Please check and guess the chief, don't worry. Our discussion will soon be a result. Please be careful, don't be impatient."
"Hmph, then please hurry up!" Chacha said unhappily. These Qing Dynasty people have many destructive things, and they are democratic. We have discussed it together. Why haven't I heard of the Qing Dynasty people having such rules before?
Chen Shiqing successfully delayed the investigation and guessing for a while. This period of time cannot be wasted. Considering the large number of enemies and the cruelty of the war, Chen Shiqing hurriedly called Zhang Huaide and Chen Youqing over and arranged tasks separately. When the Burmese people charge up, they will teach them a lesson.
"Zhang Huaide, have the gunpowder you prepared ready?" Chen Shiqing asked.
"Don't worry, young master, don't be afraid of these Burmese people coming, just be afraid that they won't come. If they come, send them all to see the King of Hell!" Zhang Huaide said with a grin.
"Young master, our people are also ready. The stone pass is rich in reserves and there is nothing short of anything. If the sword is cut off, there are still thousands of them to replace. If the bowstring is broken, there are still hundreds of bows to be used. The only problem is that there are fewer people. In a while, we have to talk about some strategy with the Burmese people in addition to head-on battles." Chen Youqing said.
"Well, this is certain. Our brothers have only a few dozen people, and there are thousands of people. How can we fight this battle without exploring strategies? Look, the Burmese people who attacked us to ambush us were also attacking lightly. They did not carry any heavy weapons in their hands, only bows, arrows, knives, muskets, etc."
"They have no artillery, nor do they have heavy weapons for attack. If they attack the city, they can only rely on temporary cut-off ladders to climb the city wall. If this is the case, their offensive efficiency and firepower will be very low. Basically, what they should adopt is to suppress us with dense bows and arrows and gunpowder in the rear, and then the rest carry the ladders to charge."
"If they do this, given that we are small in number and they are flocking to us, we may not be able to resist it. However, we have an advantage, that is, because the other party has few bows and arrows in his hand, one less one shot, and one less one shot, and they will be gone after a while. So, you must make good use of this and teach me a good lesson in this group of pigs!" Chen Shiqing said.
