One hundred and eighty nine chapters move to persuade surrender
Huang Taiji arrived at Changli near noon the next day. There were more than 50,000 cavalry troops and a real galloping of thousands of horses, with a huge momentum. Although they were not close to the head of Changli City, the people in the city felt the ground shaking, like an earthquake.
Zuo Yingxuan, the magistrate of Changli County, went to the city to observe. When he saw so many soldiers and horses and bright yellow dragon flags inside, he knew that the slave chieftain had also arrived.
Zuo Yingxuan was secretly frightened by Jianlu's power, let alone others.
He immediately realized that his mood was wrong, so he adjusted his mentality, frowned, thought of it, and immediately burst out laughing.
The squires who followed and the nearby soldiers all looked over, Wei Wei was a little surprised. Could it be that the county lord was frightened by Jianlu? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be! [
Zuo Yingxuan had created enough attention, so he stopped laughing and said: "In our small town of Changli County, we defeated the Jianlu captives. Now we are all out, and even the slave chiefs are here. You say, we are the strong one,
Or is Jianlu more powerful?"
Hearing what the county magistrate said, the people around him seemed to realize for the first time that they were so strong, and Jianlu didn't seem to be that powerful either!
Suddenly, the morale at the top of the city rose.
Zuo Yingxuan struck while the railway was hot: "Yesterday we saw that our army did not stop at night. What does this mean?"
The people around him thought of what they had seen or heard from others yesterday, and their faces were full of hope. They all responded to the county magistrate: "The imperial court's reinforcements are about to arrive!"
"Yes, the imperial reinforcements are about to arrive. The Jianlu can't even defeat us. How can they defeat the elite imperial reinforcements?" Zuo Yingxuan asked loudly.
"Can't beat, can't beat..." The people around them responded in unison with full confidence. The shouts were filled with joy and floated over Changli City.
The soldiers and common people who heard the sound looked up to where the sound came from. Although they didn't know what the reason was, they could still feel the joy. They say happiness is contagious. The people who heard the sound,
My mood also improved, and the worries just now were washed away.
Zuo Yingxuan saw that his words had an effect, so he ordered them to do their own things, leaving only Wanjie.
He said to Wanjie: "When the army of slave chiefs attacks, there will be a hard fight. The propaganda has been laid in the first two days. Now you have to officially go on stage to boost morale."
"Student understands." Wanjie nodded.
"Okay, let's get ready." After Zuo Yingxuan finished speaking, he watched Wanjie say goodbye and left, thinking that after using these methods, he should be able to keep his morale intact. Next, he can only fight head-on.
Jianlu did it.
Besides, after Huang Taiji arrived in Changli, he did not immediately go to the Guanhou Temple in the east of the city to build the prison camp. Instead, he looked at Changli City nearby.
I just passed by and didn't pay much attention to this city before. Now when I take a closer look, I feel that this county is really small (only 0.25 square kilometers). Compared with Jinzhou, Zunhua and Yongping that I have seen before, they are basically two different places.
grade.
The Jianlu leaders around him were also surprised that such a city could not be defeated even after using seven thousand gold and elite weapons for three or four days.
After hearing the news, Jierhalang and Abatai came to see the Great Khan. Huang Taiji did not give them a good look. He glanced at them and asked: "Why can't you take such a small city for so long? Did you leave Neiying?"
, won’t you be able to fight?”
To put it bluntly, the cities of the Ming Dynasty that resisted resolutely were defeated only by internal support. Those cities that did not rely on internal support were basically guarded by dog officers who were greedy for life and fearful of death. They surrendered when scared.
.
Abatai didn't say anything, because the leader this time was Jierhalang, Huang Taiji's crony.
"Great Khan, the dog officers in this city are not simple. The soldiers inside are organized in an orderly manner. The defense of the city is meticulous and well-organized. There are no craftsmen in our army, and there are no materials around to build siege equipment, so we can only use bows and arrows.
Suppression, ladders, climbing the city, giant trees hitting the door." Jirhalang knew that Abatai would not take the initiative to speak at this time, so he took on this responsibility himself.[
"There are only country soldiers inside, and they can't defeat them even if they are suppressed by bows and arrows. Is it possible that the archery skills of the mere country soldiers can surpass those of our Dajin warriors?" Huang Taiji has not spoken yet. He is on the same level as Jierhalang, but is the youngest.
Pegasi Beileduduo asked first.
Jierhalang did not dare to neglect him. Duduo was the son of Nurhachi who had real power, and he also had an older brother Dorgon who had the same strength. So he replied seriously: "The Changli County magistrate used a simple trick to solve the problem.
The suppression of bows and arrows.”
Having said this, he turned to face Changli County, pointed at the city wall and said: "Great Khan, please take a look, Baylor. There are rows of wooden rafts standing on the top of the city, which just blocks most of the bodies of the rural soldiers defending the wall.
, so it can only be shot upward from the crenel, so the bow and arrow have little effect."
Under Jierhalang's guidance, everyone noticed the uniqueness of the city. They were all sensible people, and after one look, they knew the magical function of the wooden rafts.
Huang Taiji made some mental calculations and found that although Changli City was small, it did not seem to be easy to deal with. Without saying anything else, he called Jierhalang alone and turned back to the camp.
At this time, the Great Khan's military tent had been set up. Huang Taiji was sitting in the tent and asked Jierhalang who followed him in: "Last time, the people I sent from Yongping failed to persuade them to surrender?"
"Yes, those two people were shot by bows and arrows from the city, and Changli refused to surrender." Jierhalang replied.
"Do you know who the magistrate of Changli County is?" Huang Taiji understood the situation step by step.
Jierhalang was startled, he really didn’t know this.
Huang Taiji saw his expression and knew that he didn't know, so he asked again: "Where are the two people who went to persuade him to surrender?"
Jirharang was puzzled as to why the Great Khan cared so much about such trivial matters. He hesitated and answered: "Probably, probably in the wounded barracks."
To be honest, when he saw the two of them surrendering and returning, he ignored them. Whether they are still alive now is still unknown.
"Bring him to see me." Huang Taiji ordered.
He thought to himself that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. He didn't know what kind of opponent he was going to fight, so he just fought in such a confused way. It was really a shame that Jierharang had led many years of troops.
Soon, the two Han soldiers were carried into the big tent. The two men were not welcome in the Jianlu camp, and no one paid attention to them. Fortunately, it was the severe winter and the weather was cold, so the wounds did not say anything, otherwise they would not be hungry.
I feel so dizzy.
Chen Junmin and Wang Yu had been fed several mouthfuls of rice soup before they were brought in. Although they had regained consciousness, their spirits were sluggish. At this time, when they were summoned by the slave chief Huang Taiji, they felt like they were meeting their biological fathers, with runny noses and tears.
I started crying profusely.
Huang Taiji was disgusted in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to comfort him a few times, pretended to scold Jierharang for being so rude to Corporal Xian, and then asked about Changli's situation.
The two of them had already been moved to tears by Huang Taiji's performance, and they all told what they had learned. Especially Wang Yu, who described the fact that he was injured and ran under the city wall as risking his life to get close to the city wall to spy on the city.
The heroic deeds of the first movement.
Chen Junmin now shares weal and woe with Wang Yu, so she won't expose him. Huang Taiji is not easy to deceive, otherwise he would not be able to become a slave chief.
He automatically ignored these words of merit. If he were so brave, he would not abandon his ancestors and surrender to Dai Jin.
But what they said also made him understand something.
The county magistrate of Changli is called Zuo Yingxuan, and he has only been serving as county magistrate in Changli for a few days. From what they said, it seems that Zuo Yingxuan is an official fanatic and has the intention to surrender, but he is not satisfied with the offered prefecture position and was shot by his subordinates.
After injuring the envoy who persuaded people to surrender, Nai resisted.[
After these two people said this, Huang Taiji had the idea of surrendering again. Not to mention that the county magistrate was indeed a talented person. Just because it could reduce the casualties of the Dajin warriors, it was worth giving it a try.
Unfortunately, he only knew so much about the county magistrate, so he was worried that it would be difficult to communicate with him if he sent someone to persuade him to surrender. Huang Taiji told the two Han officials about this concern to see if they could go there again.
But not only were these two people injured, but they were not familiar with Zuo Yingxuan. Chen Junmin had an idea and reported to Huang Taiji: "Great Khan, Changli County is under the jurisdiction of Yongping Prefecture. The situation of the new county magistrate is in charge of Yongping City."
The people should know that you might as well send someone to understand the situation in this magistrate, and then send someone who is familiar with Changli Magistrate to persuade him to surrender, which will have twice the result with half the effort."
When Huang Taiji heard that the idea was good, he nodded in agreement. He called a soldier and asked him to go to Yongping City with his will in hand.
Then Huang Taiji sent the two men out and sat alone in the big tent thinking about the problem.
Everything is not going well, there is a lot of trouble!
