This time his contribution was great enough. Not only did he kill Huang Taiji, but he also fought the only direct battle.
Now they have captured Hetuala City, which is already a great achievement. In this battle with the Jurchens, the biggest credit should go to this unit of theirs.
You should know when to stop and not drink all the soup yourself. Eat the meat yourself and leave the soup for others, otherwise you will get into trouble.
The same is true in the military. Even for the sake of comrades, one cannot go too far.
Lu Xiangsheng decided that this time when fighting Hetuala, he would spend a few more days and fight slowly, and it would be best if there was no damage.
This place will also be an important city of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Take it slow and win a war with the greatest benefits with the least damage.
Give Sun Chuanting and his men some time to capture more cities.
Lu Xiangsheng highly values the abilities of Sun Chuanting and others, and knows that they are very powerful.
As long as he gave Sun Chuanting and the others a few days, they would surely be able to gain a lot of merit by attacking everywhere, which would be exactly in line with his idea.
For myself, it is also a good opportunity to improve my reputation.
The last time we fought Huang Taiji, it was already easy enough. If we don’t put in some more effort this time, the enemy will seem like a coward.
In such a situation, my own achievements would be easily diminished. So I'd better fight for two more days to make them resist more fiercely.
Cao Wenzhao naturally didn't know what Lu Xiangsheng was thinking. He quickly stared at Lu Xiangsheng, waiting for Lu Xiangsheng's order, and then he would lead his men to rush forward and take the city.
"Let's set up camp." Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Cao Wenzhao and said.
This order left Cao Wenzhao a little confused.
In Cao Wenzhao's opinion, there was no need to set up camp at all. They should just rush forward and take Hetuala in one go.
What's the point of setting up camp? Are we going to stay here tonight?
Looking at the big sun in the sky, Cao Wenzhao was speechless.
It's only what time now? Are you planning to stay here for the night?
We can obviously take it down and live in the city!
In Cao Wenzhao's opinion, there was no need to wait until the sun went down to capture the city of Hetuala.
Lu Xiangsheng did not explain, but directly said: "After just experiencing a great battle and now rushing all the way, the soldiers are very tired. We still need to let them rest and cannot continue fighting.
"We've already gotten here first. The credit belongs to us, and no one can take it away. So let's just rest here for a while."
"With a good rest and good physical strength, we will be able to easily capture Hetuala tomorrow. This will be very good and will also reduce the casualties among the soldiers."
Cao Wenzhao had no way to refute this reason. Although he felt that Lu Xiangsheng was not telling the truth, he nodded directly.
Lu Xiangsheng's words made sense in this matter. After all, everyone had been running all the way since the last battle, and although they were not exhausted after the journey, they did deserve a good rest.
Under these circumstances, there was nothing wrong with Lu Xiangsheng's statement. To reduce casualties, nothing was excessive.
There is a principle in the new army that the most important thing is the living force.
Weapons can be rebuilt if lost, and cities can be recaptured if lost, but soldiers are gone once they are sacrificed.
An old soldier is extremely valuable.
So it is not strange to rest today and take Hetuala tomorrow.
At this time, the city of Hetuala was filled with gloom and desolation.
For a moment, no one could make the decision.
Huang Taiji and Daishan were both dead, and all that remained in the city were the elderly, the weak, women, and children, and were either disabled or invalids.
The older generation of brothers, such as Huang Taiji's brothers, all have their own ideas.
Huang Taiji's son Haoge also had his own ideas at this time.
It was just that for a moment, the group was leaderless and no one could subdue the other, so there was no riot. Now that the army is approaching, it would be inappropriate to cause any more riots.
But some of them had different ideas, such as a man named Jirgalang.
Jirgalang was not Nurhaci's son, but Shurhaci's son. Shurhaci died at the hands of Nurhaci, and it wasn't long before the two brothers turned against each other.
Although two of Shulhachi's sons were killed, Amin and Jirgalang were left alive.
