The five thousand cavalry troops quickly ran to the foot of the Changli city wall. He Kegang and Cao Wenzhao, surrounded by Zhong Jinwei, came to the front of the army to watch the Changli city they risked their lives to save.
Zhong Jinwei had seen the walls of the capital and Tongzhou, but now that he saw the walls of Changli, he felt that the walls were much lower.
He suddenly felt that the people of Changli were great, and the people who led the resistance against the Japanese were great.
The guard Shi Guozhu was familiar with Guan Ning's army. Seeing that this cavalry army could not be disguised as Tatars in any aspect, he hurriedly informed Changli County Magistrate Zuo Yingxuan.
Zuo Yingxuan hurriedly ordered the civilians to remove the mud bags blocking the west city gate, and then shouted to the leading figures of the army outside the city: "Xiaoguan Changli County Magistrate Zuo Yingxuan, the city gate has been blocked, please wait a moment
."[
He Kegang saw that Changli County was so small, so he said to Zhong Jinwei: "Supervisor, this Changli City cannot accommodate our five thousand cavalry."
Zhong Jinwei was observing the green-robed county magistrate at the top of the city. When He Kegang said this, he turned to look at him and said, "What should we do?"
"We have to camp outside the city."
"Okay, then let's station outside the city." Zhong Jinwei has been following the cavalry these past few days and has become accustomed to living in tents.
So, He Kegang ordered the army to find a suitable place to camp and rest outside the city.
The people of Changli all flocked to the west of the city. The transportation work was in full swing under the city wall, and the leading figures of Changli City were on top of the city wall.
Some of them looked into the distance from time to time to see if there was another large army appearing. Some of them were commenting on the cavalry outside the city and loudly praised the elite of this cavalry.
When Zuo Yingxuan saw the cavalry troops consciously setting up camp outside the city, his favorability towards the supervisor and the generals skyrocketed. There are not many armies that do not disturb the people nowadays!
He Kegang first proposed not to enter the city, but Zuo Yingxuan thought it was the supervisor's idea, allowing Zhong Jinwei to take advantage of the situation, and his image was improved.
However, this is because Zhong Jinwei has no experience. If he finds that the army is disturbing the people, he will definitely stop it.
With more people and greater strength, the city gate hole was quickly cleared.
With excitement, Zuo Yingxuan tidied up his clothes and appearance, and then walked out of the city gate with guard Shi Guozhu and the squires who had contributed a lot in the defense of Changli to greet him.
Zhong Jinwei and the others were not far from the city gate. They watched the city gate slowly open, and then a group of people came over.
Zhong Jinwei has been in contact with the emperor and senior officials of the Ming Dynasty after time travel. He is no longer the pure loser he was before time travel. Coupled with the influence of later movies and TV series, he did not have stage fright at this time. In order to show respect, he stood up and dismounted.
When the supervisor dismounted like this, it was difficult for the others to sit on their horses, so they also dismounted.
Zuo Yingxuan saw a group of generals and Dongchang officers surrounding a young man, and knew that this young man was King Qin's military supervisor and Zhongxing Bozhong Jinwei.
So, he led everyone to approach Zhong Jinwei, and then he bowed deeply and said: "Changli County Magistrate Zuo Yingxuan led the people of Changli to welcome Master Wang respectfully."
Zhong Jinwei didn't expect that the other party would be a big gift as soon as he came up. He was stunned for a moment. He had never seen such a scene before. What should he do next? Suddenly he remembered the slogan during military training, so he wanted to say serve the people. But he immediately remembered that something was wrong.
, others couldn't understand it, so they hurriedly changed: "Thank you for your hard work!"
After finishing speaking, Zhong Jinwei felt that it was very appropriate. He quickly changed his comrades to you. He has good adaptability.[
After Zuo Yingxuan heard what this young man said, he straightened up and looked over. He saw the young man in front of him with a kind face and a hint of high authority.
He holds the title of earl and supervises hundreds of thousands of Qin Wang's troops in the Ming Dynasty. Sun Chengzong, the Minister of War and Cabinet Minister, is actually under his supervision. It can be said that he is not very powerful. Ordinary people will be a little embarrassed, but
This Uncle Zhongxing didn’t have it. Zuo Yingxuan thought to himself that this Uncle Zhongxing was really different.
Zhong Jinwei was also sizing up the Changli County Magistrate at the same time. He was about forty, of medium build, tired with a hint of perseverance, and not the kind of pampered person.
He is really a capable person who can lead a group of people to resist during the siege of tens of thousands of soldiers. I don't know why I haven't heard of him. It seems that history has buried many heroes. Zhong Jinwei is in my heart.
think.
Zuo Yingxuan turned to one side and said: "Uncle Zhongxing, please come into the city and rest."
Zhong Jinwei looked at the group of people in front of him, and then looked toward the city. There were dense crowds of people standing on both sides of the road.
Suddenly he wanted to see what kind of people they were, with such courage and perseverance to resist the Tatar siege.
So Zhong Jinwei moved forward slowly, slowly looking around at everyone on both sides.
The Dongchang officers immediately dispersed on both sides, guarding Zhong Jinwei, with Gu Baichuan sticking behind Zhong Jinwei, and then the other generals and the Changli County Magistrate and others.
After walking only a few steps, several old men suddenly knelt down and said, "Welcome Master Wang, and we welcome Uncle Zhongxing!"
Previously, people on the city had already heard that the leader was Uncle Zhongxing, and this was spread to the ears of the people in the city.
These old people knew that Uncle Zhongxing was leading the rescue force. The excitement of being resurrected from the desperate situation made the grateful old people kneel down consciously.
When other people saw him, they knelt down one after another, and soon the two long rows were filled with kneelers.
The words "Welcome Master Wang, Welcome Uncle Zhongxing" slowly gathered into a loud voice.
When Zhong Jinwei saw him, he couldn't walk. Kneeling is very rare for modern people. Kneeling to the sky and the ground to kneel to your parents. Apart from that, few people would kneel.
What's more, now that everyone in the city is kneeling, he feels that he can't bear it. When he was about to speak, Gu Baichuan behind him whispered the word "Emperor" in a voice that only he could hear.
Zhong Jinwei understood immediately, raised his fist to the right, and said loudly: "The emperor's kindness is great. The emperor is worried about Chang Li, so he gave me the authority to come to rescue Chang Li. It is because of the emperor's kindness, the life of the soldiers, and the persistence of all of you.
We didn’t let the Tatars succeed. Everyone…”
When Zhong Jinwei said this, he put down his hands and shouted: "Everyone is doing well!"
No matter the general of Guan Ning Army behind him, the leading figures in Changli or the people of Changli, they never expected that Zhong Jinwei would say such colloquial words, but the praise contained in it can be felt.
"As long as we are united and united, Jianlu will not be able to get any favors. One day, we will fight outside the customs and at the door of Jianlu's house to let them know how powerful our Ming Dynasty is." Zhong Jinwei clenched his right hand.
Fist, raise your arms and shout.
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!" He Kegang, who was following Zhong Jinwei, was the first to shout with excitement.
"Your Majesty!" The Changli County Magistrate and the Dongchang Supervisor immediately followed and shouted.[
"Zhongxing Boweiwu!"
"Destroy Jianlu!"
"Kill all the Mongolian Tatars!"
"..."
The voices of the common people are not consistent, there are all kinds of voices, but they have one thing in common, they are all excited.
Everyone present was immersed in the joy of temporary victory and looked forward to greater victories in the future.
He Kegang sighed slightly in his heart: The Ming Dynasty lacked the excitement of real victory! This was just a city defense and siege battle where the rebels retreated. Everyone was so excited. In fact, it was not a sign of lack of self-confidence. If one day, victory
It is no longer rare. How wonderful it would be when the military and civilians are so confident that they disdain the small victories they have achieved!
The atmosphere at the scene became harmonious. Zhong Jinwei asked the people to get up, but they no longer persisted. Then the Changli County Magistrate came forward and asked them to disperse.
Zhong Jinwei then asked Zuo Yingxuan to take a look at the city defense. He wanted to know what the city defense was like in Changli City and why other cities were bigger than Changli and had taller walls, but they couldn't defend it.
Zuo Yingxuan naturally had no objection to Zhong Jinwei's request, so he accompanied Zhong Jinwei to inspect Changli City Defense and introduced Zhong Jinwei along the way.
He specially introduced the role of wooden rafts, and he was quite proud. Changli could withstand several waves of siege by Jianlu, and the wooden rafts played a great role.
Zhong Jinwei had little experience. Hearing Zuo Yingxuan's words, he couldn't help but be amazed.
But the generals in Guan Ning's army were different. Some were noncommittal, and some shook their heads slightly.
Their attitudes happened to be noticed by Zhong Jinwei, who asked why.
Cao Wenzhao explained to Zhong Jinwei: "Jian Jun, the ladders made by us Han people all have two hooks at the top. They are used to hook the city wall. The ladder can be stable on the city wall and not easily torn off. Therefore, if I come to attack
Even if the conditions for the city are the same as those of the Tatars, we only need to make some long poles, tie hooks on the tops, hook these wooden rafts, and let the soldiers work together to pull them down directly."
After Zuo Yingxuan heard this, he looked at Shi Guozhu behind him. The two looked at each other and thought to themselves, luckily the Tatars didn't know this trick.
