Chapter 188: The Second Battle in Changli Ends

Ji'erhalang saw his posture and quickly stopped him. If he made a mistake, he would not be able to explain it to the Khan later. Besides, Oboi's bravery would not be of much use in this situation.

Jierhalang knew that there was no point in continuing to fight, so he ordered the money to be withdrawn.

Obai was suffocating in his heart. The war was over and he didn't want to see Abatai, so he said goodbye to Jirharang and went back to report to the Great Khan.

In Changli City, cheers resounded again, and everyone, regardless of their status, was celebrating each other.

The county magistrate Zuo Yingxuan saw a lot of arrows stuck on the wooden rafts, and there should be many that could still be used. He was moved in his heart and ordered the village soldiers at the top of the city to shout in unison: "Thank the Tatars for sending the arrows." [

After the village soldiers on the top of the city shouted a few times, the people in the city also shouted together. The combined voice was quite powerful and spread far away.

Jianlu also knew the famous story of the straw boat borrowing arrows in the Three Kingdoms. Jierhalang knew Chinese. When he heard the shouts in the city, he felt even more depressed and returned to the camp unhappy.

Zuo Yingxuan was very satisfied with today's battle. He had withstood this wave of siege before using his trump card.

It is still the old practice to send orders to the leaders of various places to return to the county government to discuss matters.

Besides, after Luo Xiao was sent to the city, he opened his arms and pulled out the arrow with force. There was no blood on the arrow.

He took off his specially made coat. It was a thin piece of clothing and a temporary piece of earthen armor. Important parts were sewn with tiles, and of course the tiles were already broken.

Then he pulled off his thick clothes and took out another tile from it, which was also broken. This was after he saw the wooden rafts installed on the city wall, he estimated the height of the crenels and the possible parts of his body.

The tiles that were added were actually used without thinking.

Luo Xiao reached in and touched his chest. It seemed that it was swollen from being hit by an arrow, but it didn't matter. It would be fine in a few days. The people around him saw that Luo Xiao had used double-layer insurance for himself, and it really worked, so they couldn't help but give it to him.

Congratulations.

The lobby of the county government office was also filled with joy. The results after the war were also counted. A total of five people were killed and 73 injured. The casualty rate was much lower than the first time.

After the county magistrate Zuo Yingxuan introduced the situation, he concluded: "Most of the casualties today were caused by wooden rafts that were not fixed properly and were smashed or split by the builders. Therefore, the wooden rafts on the city wall that you are responsible for must be taken care of."

Check reinforcement."

The squires all agreed that this reinforcement would not cost much effort, but no matter whether someone was injured or killed, not only would it be emotionally difficult, but the money for the pension would also be scattered like water. No matter from any aspect, it is not as good as the care in advance.

Reinforced rafts are cost-effective.

Wanjie suddenly stood up and expressed his worries: "Your Majesty, if Jianlu uses artillery or trebuchets, our rafts will not be able to stop them. What should we do?"

Zuo Yingxuan and Shi Guozhu had thought about this problem beforehand. Now seeing Wanjie asking this question, Shi Guozhu sat on a chair and answered: "This also requires materials to make a trebuchet. Do you think there are any around here?

Moreover, if Jianlu wanted to make a trebuchet, he would have to call in craftsmen, and it would take many days to make it. Is our small county worth their war?"

"As for the artillery, small artillery is not suitable for siege. As for the big artillery, I saw them going to Shanhaiguan a few days ago. I am afraid they were all lost there, so there is still no one." Shi Guozhu still had this problem when he said it

A little worried, but he tried his best to put it in a positive light and stabilize his morale.

"We should also make more wooden rafts as backup. If they really have artillery, if the raft is damaged, we can put another raft in place until the artillery gets too hot and cannot be fired." Zuo Yingxuan also proposed a remedy.

This is the only way, Wanjie thought, and then sat back in his seat.

Others had no doubts. They had won two battles. Not to mention these squires, even the people in the city were in a good mood and cooperated with the defense of the city.

Zuo Yingxuan saw that they had no problems, so he asked a question: "We have searched all the pharmacies and asked them to donate as much as possible. I don't know how many battles will be fought in the future. It is always good to have more."

"Please rest assured, Lord County, it is related to the safety of the people in the city, so we don't dare to be careless." The responsible squire replied.[

"Okay, that's very good. If there are other matters, those who were on night duty yesterday should go back and rest early. The rest of the people will wait and discuss some details." Zuo Yingxuan said.

Shi Guozhu waited for a while and found no one had any questions, so he stood up and saluted Zuo Yingxuan with cupped fists: "In this case, my subordinates resigned."

Among these people, he was the most tired. After Jianlu attacked, he basically didn't get much rest.

Zuo Yingxuan nodded approvingly. If Changli City could be defended in the end, Shi Guozhu would play the greatest role. Thanks to his practical experience, he would not be in a hurry and make mistakes in the process.

Everyone in Changli City was happy. In the Jianlu camp where the battle was defeated, there were also people who were as happy as they were, but they didn't show it. They were drinking and celebrating alone.

Abata took a sip and said in his heart: so that you can.

He already knew the battle report with the yellow flag. Eighty-six people were killed and 450 injured. Moreover, whether these 450 people could survive was still a question.

It turned out that when the wounds were being treated after the war, it was discovered that the arrows were poisonous, as if they had been soaked in gold juice mixed with arsenic.

Jierhalang is currently scolding his mother in his tent, while Abatai is so happy in his heart that he is relieved of his hatred. It's a pity that he didn't see that slave Ao Bai, otherwise the look on his face would have been wonderful. I don't know what he will do when he repays Huang Taiji.

What would be the scene? The more Abata thought about it, the happier he felt, so he picked up the wine bottle and took another sip.

In the afternoon, in the west of Changli City, a rural soldier guarding the city suddenly exclaimed: "Look, look over there."

When the companions around him heard this, they thought there was some hostility and looked over nervously.

I saw about ten cavalrymen running towards the Changli city wall. As they got closer, they realized that it was the Ming Dynasty's night. Suddenly, people on the city top cheered.

Jianlu's scouts outside had noticed the Ming army's failure to gather troops at night and began to outflank them.

But when Ye Buhuang saw Jianlu's movement outside the city, he made a circle and turned to the west, towards the capital.

Although the Ming army only showed up briefly at night, the good news spread immediately, greatly inspiring everyone in the city.

This group of people who stayed up all night were Hu Hao and his brothers who belonged to the Guan Ning Army. After they happened to rescue Uncle Zhongxing last time, each of them was credited with a military merit and 10% of the reward was given out.

After resting in the camp for more than ten days, he was sent out again to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

They all watched the siege of Changli during the day. After the Jianlu troops had withdrawn in the afternoon, Hu Hao took his brothers to show off.

Although there is no contact with the city, these experienced Ye Bu Shu elites all know the effect.

At this time, they were quickly returning to the camp to report on the situation here.

At the camp of King Qin's army in the capital, Sun Chengzong, the minister of war and assistant minister of the Ministry of War, who was ordered to command all King Qin's army in the capital, ordered Ma Shilong, who had arrived near Zunhua, to send troops to attack Zunhua City on the back road of Jianlu.

Best, if you can't take it, you can also contain the main force of the rebels, so that they can't concentrate on harming the capital.

Huang Taiji led his army to wait near Funing for two days, during which he attacked again, but still found no flaws in Funing and could not defeat it. He felt a little depressed, and it was not an option to continue like this.[

The person guarding the city of Funing was General Huang Wei, who was also a general from the frontier army. He was familiar with military affairs, so it was naturally not easy for Huang Taiji to succeed.

Oboi found the location of the army and went straight inside to report the Ming Changli War to Huang Taiji.

It’s really a leaky house and it rained all night. Everything is not going well. It’s okay if we can’t bring down Funing. But now we can’t even bring down Changli. How can we feel so miserable?

Huang Taiji became so angry that he stopped caring about Funing and immediately threw his army straight towards Changli.
