Chapter 860

The one who was hit by the stone was Han Dengping, the garrison general of the Hukou. In a flash, his entire right hand was stained with blood. The soldiers hurriedly carried him into the city tower to treat him.

Although the shoulder was not a vital part, the pointed stone was drilled very deep and probably had touched the bones. The worst thing was that the stone had broken into many small pieces, so when the military doctor took out all the gravel, Han Shoujie fainted from pain. In addition, he lost too much blood and looked pale like paper. He probably lost half his life.

Fortunately, wound suture has become popular in the army now. After cleaning Han Jianjie, the military doctor sewed the wound, but successfully stopped the bleeding. If it was not inflamed, Han Jianjie should be able to save his life.

"Fortunately, this flowing stone only hit the arm. If it hits the head, Han Shoujie's life will be given." Wang Bogu said with lingering fear.

Zhang Yin nodded and echoed: "What a great blessing in disgrace."

Xu Jin frowned secretly and glanced at Zhang Yin thoughtfully, feeling in his heart that he could not say anything strange. When he recalled the stone cannon of the Tartars just now, most of the stones hit the foot of the city wall. Only small stones flew up to the top of the city, but the landing points were not nearby. The hit to the Korean garrison was only a very small stone, which should be splashing gravel.

So the question is, since the stones are not nearby, where did the gravel that hit the Korean garrison come from?

Without Xue Bingxin's reminder, Xu Jin probably wouldn't have considered this issue, and would have only regarded it as an accident. But now, after learning that Zhang Yin might be the leader of the Maitreya religion, he was wary of everything and thought too much.

Just as Xu Jin was thinking, the soldier Yiming ran in and reported loudly with a strange expression: "Sir, General, the Tartars have retreated!"

"What?" everyone exclaimed.

Xu Jin hurriedly led the generals out of the city tower and looked out of the city. It was completely dark at this time. Sure enough, he saw the Tartar cavalry holding torches slowly retreating, the rear army turned into front army, and the front army turned into rear army. This was clearly a sign of retreating the entire army.

The personal soldier Zhao Datou stroked Datou and said incredible: "What are the medicines sold in the Tartar gourd? He ran to kill Hukou with great force. Is it just to test the shooting of the Rejuvenating Cannon? His grandma can't figure it out!"

Not only Zhao Datou couldn't figure it out, but all the generals present, including Xu Jin, could not figure it out. Altan personally led tens of thousands of troops to the killing entrance with murderous intent. He didn't even sit on the hot side. He just tried to shoot two shots of the red cannon and retreated. Where did the child play with mud and sand?

"The last general thought that the Tartars had been tricked by a suspicious army, so he deliberately retreated and led us out of the city to pursue us." Zhang Wu, commander of the Pinglu Guard, said in a deep voice.

He Lixing, commander of the Zhenlu Guard, immediately retorted: "It is unlikely that the Tartars had assembled siege equipment not long ago, and they obviously planned to attack for a strong attack. How could it be possible to suspicion of the enemy's plan? In my opinion, Altan probably found that his siege equipment was flawed, and with tens of thousands of troops guarding the Kill Hukou, he thought he could not conquer, so he decisively gave up."

"Well, Commander He Zhang is justified, but will the Tartars turn to attack other passes?" Zhang Yin said.

Xu Jin looked at the Tartar cavalry retreating like a tide outside the city, and retreated so decisively, it was not like a suspicious plan. Could it be that something major happened suddenly within the Tatars, which forced Altan, who was angry, to withdraw his troops?

However, what Zhang Yin said was not impossible. Seeing that killing Hukou was difficult, Altan turned to attack other passes, but this possibility was small. After all, Altan only tried to fire two Huihuans, and did not really attack the city. A man who came with a huge rage withdrew his troops before he even started the trial attack. It was obviously unlikely, unless he encountered a reason to withdraw his troops.

Of course, no matter what, as the saying goes, it is always nothing wrong to be careful to make the ten thousand-year-old ship improve its defense. So Xu Jin immediately ordered an envoy to notify the defenders at the Great Wall Passes overnight to be vigilant, and Xuanfu and Yulin also sent people to notify them to avoid being caught off guard.

In fact, as Xu Jin expected, something really happened within the Tatars, so Altan had to retreat his troops and return to Fengzhouchuan.

It turned out that this morning, did Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong meet with Ordos leader Mai Ligen on the edge of the Yellow River? The unlucky Mai Ligen Jinong was seriously injured by the flower bullet first, and then fell off his horse and broke several ribs. He fled back to the sweat tent and died soon after he was seriously injured and died.

Just now, Altan received the news of his brother Mai Ligen's death. He was shocked and immediately ordered the withdrawal of his troops. He wanted to rush to Ordos overnight.

Altan and Maligen are brothers of a mother and compatriots. They have a deep relationship and are naturally very sad when they receive the news of their brother's death. However, the main purpose of retreating from their troops to Ordos was to accept the power of his brother.

Mailigen is in his early thirties. Although he has children under his knees, he is still young and cannot control those arrogant soldiers and generals. What's more, the Ordos tribe occupies the Hetao Plain with abundant water and plants. All other thousands of Tatar households are salivating. Once the news of Mailigen's death spread, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not snatch it.

As the saying goes, the rich water does not flow to outsiders. Altan is a hero. With Zhao Quan's instigation, he immediately decided to withdraw his troops to Ordos, first accepting his brother's territory and army. It would not be too late to seek revenge on the Ming army at that time.

About an hour later, Altan's tens of thousands of troops retreated and disappeared completely in the dark night. Soon, the scouts who were sent out to inquire about the news came back to report one after another, confirming that the Tatar cavalry had indeed retreated, and it was not a suspicious plan, and did not turn around to attack other Great Wall passes.

After hearing the revenge, the generals breathed a sigh of relief and were very puzzled. Xu Jin further concluded that something big happened within the Tatars. It is estimated that there will be a definite news within ten or eight days. Hey, it would be even better if several tens of thousands of households within the Tatars fought.

Since the Tartars retreated, all the border troops were relaxed and finally had a stable sleep tonight. The generals left Xu Jin and retreated one after another.

After Xu Jin returned to his residence, he wrote a good news on the spot, reporting that the Shenji Camp destroyed Bansheng City. Eight hundred miles rushed to the capital. Zhu Houcong learned that he had to be so happy that he danced. After all, destroying Bansheng City would be equivalent to eliminating a major concern.

"Brother-in-law, are you looking for me?" Xie Sanqian pushed the door and entered the study, and saw Xu Jin playing with a pointed stone.

Xu Jin threw the stone to Xie Sanqian and asked, "Sanqian, if you were asked to shoot people with this stone, can you reach the bones?"

"I definitely can't do it. Second brother will force it, but if my father takes action, it will probably have such an effect. Using this thing as a hidden weapon will not only test your eyesight and fingering, but also have to be quite pure in internal skills. As far as I know, my father can!" Xie Sanqiang said, his eyes rolling, "Does my brother-in-law doubt... Zhang Yin?"

Xu Jin nodded with a serious expression. He carefully recalled the situation at that time and observed the landing points of the stones flying up to the city. The angle and distance of the gravel splashing are unlikely to hit the Sino-Korean garrison. Moreover, the position of the Han garrison was exactly between him and Zhang Yin. If there was no Han garrison blocking him, the stone would probably come straight to him.

Xie Sanqiang frowned and said, "Brother-in-law, as the saying goes, it is better to believe that there is than to believe that there is nothing. Otherwise, let's take action first and keep Zhang Yin by his side, it's too dangerous!"

Xu Jin nodded slowly. Although there is no evidence to prove that Zhang Yin is Li Fuda, he definitely believes in Xue Bingxin. He originally planned to wait for Han Dajie to send someone to investigate before taking action. However, after this incident, Xu Jin felt that it would be better to be impeached later than to take risks with his own life.

When Xie Sanqian saw Xu Jin, he immediately said, "Brother-in-law, the night is long and the dreams are too long. I will take someone to tie Zhang Yin up!"

Xu Jin quickly waved his hand to stop him. Zhang Yin himself was very skilled in martial arts, and there must be many loyal people under his command. Maybe the entire Yulin Guard would be infiltrated and assimilated by him, so he must be very cautious in arresting him to avoid causing chaos.

"San Gun, go and call Lao Wang, Zhao Datou and the others!" Xu Jin ordered, Xie San Gun immediately ran to call Wang Liner and the backbone of the Shenji Camp...

The next morning, Xu Jin, the imperial envoy, ordered the reward of the three armies to commend the military achievements of the Shenji Camp and Yulin Guard.

The garrison palace of Hukou Pass City was held, and generals of more than a thousand guards attended the banquet. Zhang Yin, the protagonist of the banquet, was able to sit with the imperial envoy.

Just as you were drunk, the brave soldiers of the Shenji Camp who were carrying live ammunition suddenly rushed in and controlled all the generals of the Yulin Guard. Zhang Yin himself was also blocked by more than a dozen flintlock rifles. No matter how good your martial arts are, you dare to resist, you will be beaten into a hornet's nest immediately.

Zhang Yin was shocked and angry, regretting that his intestines were blue. He stared at Xu Jin at the same table with a gloomy face and said, "What is this for the imperial envoy?"

Wang Bogu and the commanders of each guard were both frightened and sat in the seat and did not dare to move.

"Xu...Mr. Xu, are you? If you have something to say, be careful of getting angry!" General Wang asked with a harsh saliva.

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Don't panic, everyone, I will only catch Bailian thief today!"

"Bai Lian Rebel?" Wang Bogu and the generals couldn't help but look at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Zhang Yin, who was hit by more than a dozen guns.

Zhang Yin was shocked. It turned out that his identity was exposed. He secretly had his luck and prepared to fight to the death. However, he sneered: "If you want to add a crime, you have no words to worry about it. I will offend Lord Xu somewhere. Lord Xu will slander him so much!"

Xu Jin said indifferently: "Is it slander? Commander Zhang knew it well. The Japanese officials have received reports recently. Zhang Yin is Li Fuda, the leader of the White Lotus rebel Maitreya sect!"
