Chapter 1821 The army leaves Juyongguan

Jiang Yingzhao and Mangui stood side by side with horses.

At this moment, Jiang Yingzhao's face looked extremely ugly.

Yesterday, a member of the generals under Man Gui's army was a member of the generals under Man Gui. Today, in order to win Guanning City in one battle, he dispatched his own generals and two guerrillas, a total of 3,000 people, and was equipped with siege equipment and twelve cannons.

In any case, he never expected that a small Guanning City not only defended it, but instead repelled his attack, causing him to lose twelve cannons and some siege equipment.

"It seems that it is not that easy for Guanning City to be successfully won." Man Gui said to Jiang Yingzhao.

Although most of the dead were the soldiers under Jiang Yingzhao, he was not happy at all. The Guanning City caused the army to be killed and injured, and thousands of troops were damaged. If he reached Datong, he would probably not be left with half of the 50,000 troops.

Jiang Yingzhao said with a grim expression: "No matter how difficult it is, he will take down this city. I don't believe it. The 50,000 army cannot take down a small Guanning City."

"We are at a disadvantage on the firearms. The firearms of the thieves in the city are sharp and have a great advantage. If there are fifty or sixty cannons, bombarding a city wall, as long as a gap is opened, the army can take down Guanning City." Man Gui said in his mouth.

It was the first time I fought with the bandits in Datong that I could personally experience the power of bandits' firearms.

Jiang Yingzhao said: "If there is no cannon, you can still take down Guanning City. Even if our 50,000 troops are divided into four walls, there will be enough troops available. I don't believe that the bandits in Guanning City have so many troops to defend the city."

"Will this be too much trouble? Otherwise, I would rather send more troops to attack once, and at the same time, a group of troops were assigned to the city gate in the east to feint the attack." When Man Gui heard Jiang Yingzhao's approach, he knew that the other party was really angry, so he came up with an idea.

Jiang Yingzhao hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, agreeing to Man Gui's proposal.

"This time, I will send people to the main force of the siege, and you will send a team of troops to attack the east." Man Gui said.

Jiang Yingzhao's face darkened and said, "No, the main attacker will be left to me, and the feint attack will be handed over to you. I want to see how long a small Guanning City can withstand it."

"Then do what you said." Man Gui nodded in agreement, and did not compete with Jiang Yingzhao for the candidate for the main attack.

The officers and soldiers under Guanning City retreated.

In the army of nearly 3,000 people, seven or eight hundred of them were left behind in Guanning City, and more were injured. Almost half of the returned officers and soldiers were injured.

Many of them were injured by muskets. Even if they came back from Guanning City, it is hard to say whether they could survive next.

"The last general is incompetent, please punish the general."

The genist general who returned from the city of Guanning City knelt on one knee under Jiang Yingzhao's horse. A guerrilla general was kneeling beside him, but his arm was burned. The other guerrilla general had only his body snatched back by the officers and soldiers who had taken it away.

Jiang Yingzhao looked at the two people kneeling in front of him coldly and said, "If you have no use, go back and treat the wound first. When the wound is healed, I will deal with you."

I was angry, but I didn't lose my mind.

He knew that they could not be blamed entirely for the failure of this battle. Before the war started, no one expected that the bandits and firearms in Guanning City were so sharp and their determination to defend the city was so great.

General Gan and Guerrilla got up from the ground, and each helped the other back down.

"I think it's getting dark. I'm sending troops to attack the city tomorrow!" Man Gui advised Jiang Yingzhao.

It was dark and many night blind people in the army could not see anything. This was not only not beneficial for siege, but also easily led to the loss of troops and generals.

Jiang Yingzhao looked up at the sky above his head.

The sun sets in the west, and the sky will turn completely dark after more than an hour.

"Retreat the troops." Jiang Yingzhao waved his hand unwillingly to retreat.

Because I waited for the siege equipment transported from the rear, I started to siege the city until it was almost time, which resulted in a waste of half a day.

The army retreated back to the camp.

At this time, the camp had already set off a fire and began to prepare the last supper of the day.

"The military supervisor asks the two generals to come over."

A soldier who was serving by the army supervisor came to Jiang Yingzhao and Mangui who had just returned to the camp.

"Please tell the military supervisor, and when we arrange the troops to return to the camp, we will go immediately." Jiang Yingzhao said politely to the soldiers in front of him.

The sergeant frowned slightly and said, "It's better for the two generals to hurry up. What the supervisor asked was to rush over immediately."

"Can you please make it easier? The army has just finished the battle and there are still many things to deal with." Jiang Yingzhao showed hesitation.

This time, so many soldiers under his command were killed and injured, so he also needed to calm the hearts of the people.

At this time, Man Gui, who was following aside, said, "Or, Jiang Zhentai will go to the military supervisor first, and I will leave behind to deal with the military affairs. What do you think?"

As he said that, he looked at the sergeant in front of him.

The soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "It's good, but you don't delay the station for too long."

"Don't worry, I'll go after the matter is handled." Man Gui said.

The soldiers took Jiang Yingzhao to the army supervisor's tent.

The army supervisor's big tent is at the upper vent of the camp, and there are heavy troops guarding it around. The big tent she lives in is also the best among all military tents.

"Supervisor, bring it to Jiang Zhentai." The sergeant entered the big tent and reported.

After a while, Jiang Yingzhao was brought in.

"I will meet the military supervisor at the end." Jiang Yingzhao bowed to the military supervisor at the seat.

The military supervisor looked at Jiang Yingzhao and said sharply: "This is the second day. When will Jiang Zhentai take down Guanning City?"

"Please rest assured that the military supervisor will definitely take down Guanning City at the end of tomorrow." Jiang Yingzhao promised.

He failed to take Guanning City today. He thought in his heart that he had left too much time. If he had a whole day, he believed that he would definitely be able to take Guanning City.

The military supervisor said: "Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows are there? When do you want our family to wait?"

"At the end, I will use the head of Xiang to guarantee that I will definitely take down Guanning City tomorrow." Jiang Yingzhao promised in front of the other side as if he was sworn.

The military supervisor reached out and picked up the cover bowl beside him, lifted the lid, took it to his mouth and blew the heat inside, and said lightly: "It's not that our family forced you, but that there is not much time left for you. Our family just received the news that Xing Duxian had led the army to send troops from Juyong Pass."

"How could it be so fast?" Jiang Yingzhao frowned.

When they sent troops from Huanghua Town, only half of the twelve guards rushed to Juyongguan, and the remaining soldiers were still on the way to Juyongguan.

Especially a personal guard in Huanghua Town, he and Man Gui deliberately stayed in Huanghua Town for a few days.

The military supervisor snorted and said, "The same 50,000 troops are no less than your troops. If they are asked to arrive at Xuanfu first, you guys will hum!"
