Whether it is on the southeast coast or the northwest border, fighting with Chenxi always gives people an illusion. As long as Chenxi points his hand, they lead troops to rush out according to Chenxi's instructions, and everything will be over. All of them have military achievements, reputation, and wealth.

It is so easy and comfortable to fight the Tartars on the battlefield that if you want to get the opportunity, you have to compare who is braver and who knows better how to grasp the essence of the combat plan explained by Chen Xi, so that you will not make any mistakes when you are in the war. Therefore, whenever Chen Xi goes to the tent to discuss matters, these generals who usually live in a daze all prick up their ears and listen carefully, for fear of missing any important links.

This is incredible to others.

A group of big-name men who don’t even recognize big words have been hereditary military households for several lifetimes. They will listen carefully to the coach’s tactical arrangements when they are promoted to the quota and discuss matters, which is enough to make those who are a little familiar with their writing laugh.

But this did happen.

In fact, it is not a particularly difficult thing for these people to understand Chen Xi’s arrangements, because every time Chen Xi explains the tactics, they try to understand them as easily as possible, and explain the specific responsibilities of each person clearly. If they don’t understand, they can ask questions on their own initiative. Chen Xi will answer in detail until everyone understands them.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Chen Xi's mouth, and he looked at Zhang Yong sarcastically, saying, "Eunuch Zhang, you see that it is not because I am not considering the issue from your standpoint, but because the soldiers' wishes are not against each other!"

Zhang Yong pointed at the generals and schools present, and cursed one by one, "Why are you, you guys, so you have been fooled by war?"

"Are you just a shortage of your troops in such a huge capital?"

"After entering the city, you live well and eat well, accept the order of the Ministry of War and obey the emperor's order, this is a regular way to obtain credit. Humph, you would rather stay outside the city and wait for death, is it because you have a stubborn mind?"

Zhu Lie protested dissatisfiedly: "Eunuch Zhang, I respect you and a group of rude men who are born and die. I don't care what you said before, but now you are here to openly slander Lord Shen, so I can't listen..."

"Did Lord Shen make you less credit, or what? Since I followed Lord Shen to fight, which war did not win? I hope the Ministry of War, haha, it's such a big joke. Who cares about the lives and deaths of ordinary soldiers? If they really care about it, they wouldn't leave our troops in Tumu Fort without caring about it!"

"Yes, only by following Lord Shen can we obtain military achievements. We returned to the capital from Tumu Fort. It is still difficult to predict whether the achievements were counted or not. Why do we have to make more military achievements before?"

...

The generals in the tent stood on Zhu Lie's side and expressed their opinions one after another.

Zhang Yong is not a stubborn person. When he found out that he was isolated, he realized that he, the military supervisor, had no weight at all. He thought to himself: "Yesterday, Mr. Xie entered the military camp as an envoy of the court, and he didn't even think about summoning me as a military supervisor. I'm afraid the court has forgotten that there is a military supervisor in Lord Shen's army? Lord Shen is too capable and has too high personal charm. It's really hard to shake for a while. I'd better stop when I see it!"

When Zhang Yong shook his sleeves, he pretended to behave and said, "You can do whatever you want, but if the Ministry of War transfer order arrives, you will recruit troops and horses to the capital to help defend the city. Don't push the three and four!"

After saying that, Zhang Yong turned around and went back to the tent and fell asleep... As a military supervisor, Chen Xi did not lead his army into the city. He could not leave his post without a single step, so he simply went out of sight.

...

...

After Zhang Yong left, Chen Xi looked at the generals present and his expression became serious: "Who else thinks that the troops should be withdrawn into the city? I will ask you to leave immediately. But if someone retreats in the battlefield, this will block my plan. Even if I win in the end, I will hold him accountable and severely punish him!"

No one here spoke, and everyone knew that Chen Xi was not easy to mess with.

If you annoy others, it may be a few months or even years later, and offending Chen Xi is a warning. On the battlefield, the Tatars will let them know what the consequences of not obeying orders are.

Wang Ling's tiger stared at the general in the tent. Seeing that no one opposed Chen Xi, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Mr. Shen, don't say these despicable words, just say... where to fight!"

Hu Songyue also agreed: "Yes, yes, Lord Shen, just tell me, how should I fight this battle today?"

Chen Xi smiled slightly and slowly spread the map in his hand.

This is a topographic map of the surrounding capital. Chenxi drew several circles on it, representing the main camps of the Tatars outside the city. Some of them may be the locations where the Tatars were stationed. This was judged by Chenxi by observing the movements of the Tatars' soldiers and horses. It may not be accurate, but once it is true, it will have a great impact on the subsequent battle.

Chenxidao: "The ultimate goal of this battle is not to wipe out all the Tatars, but to let the Tatars retreat in the face of difficulties, give up the siege of the capital, and withdraw troops from Zijing Pass."

"I have learned before that the Tatar national sage Yi Simayin was not interested in fighting in Xuanfu and was about to withdraw his troops. Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War only needs to find out the movements of the troops behind the Tatar Hall, and he will definitely rush to Zijing Pass as soon as possible to block the Tatars' retreat."

"If the Tartars notice the danger, they will withdraw from Zijing Pass before the gate of our Ming border army closed, which will take about three or five days!"

When Hu Songyue and others heard this, they were all very energetic.

After several months of battle, it finally came to an end!

Liu Xu asked excitedly: "Shen... Lord Shen, according to your words, as long as the capital can survive these three or five days, can it be safe and sound?"

Chen Xi replied affirmatively: "Although this is just my judgment, the actual situation should be indecisive. But even so, we cannot simply defend. Being blindly will only make the battle situation passive. If the capital falls under the strong attack of the Tartars, then everything is over and we must take the initiative to attack!"

In the eyes of many people, the Tatars were at the end of their strength after the Battle of Xizhimen. Since they only need to survive for a few days and overwhelm the Tatars' offensive, they can win, why bother to fight to the death?

Is this a pity that I have too many soldiers and have to fight against the Tatars?

In the past, a lot of people would have jumped out and said to Chen Xi to think about it, but now, the generals in the big tent have long been used to following Chen Xi's incredible orders, and what they thought in their minds:

"If Lord Shen had just fought according to the routine, we would have been buried in Tumu Fort, how could we return to Juyongguan alive and become the 'savior' that the capital is looking forward to?"

"Now Lord Shen's orders are indeed a little weird, but as long as you fight this war according to his instructions, the credit will be in front of you."

Hu Songyue left the line and asked for a fight: "Mr. Shen, what arrangements do you have? Even if you mention it, the general must follow your instructions. Wherever you point, the general will lead the troops to kill you!"

A bunch of people looked at Hu Songyue with contempt, and his narrow eyes seemed to say: "You are the chief general of the Beijing camp, and there are not many cavalrymen in the top of your army now. If Lord Shen wants to dispatch troops to attack, he should also find cavalry generals such as General Wang and General Lin. What's the matter with you Lao Hu?"

Chen Xi highly affirmed Hu Songyue's eager attitude of asking for battle and said, "General Hu is determined. Today's war mainly relies on infantry phalanx assault, with cavalry assisted, and the linkage between the various camps must be within the control of my official. Do you... have any objections?"

All the generals were greatly energetic. Originally, they thought that the purpose of Chenxi building a camp was to facilitate infantry defense and would only send cavalry out to attack the Tartars, but unexpectedly, Chenxi still chose yesterday's infantry and cavalry combination tactics.

Yesterday, this tactic achieved great success and the results were gratifying. Today, it only needs to be done in accordance with the rules and achievement is no problem. (To be continued...)
