Facing the retreat of the built captives, the Ming army in Youtun was not at all happy.
More than half of Zu Dashou's 5,000 people were injured or killed, and almost half of the 8,000 people who went up to Zhou Zheng lost their combat effectiveness.
The city was filled with sternness and tension, and the soldiers packed up, and wailing was everywhere.
Zhou Zheng, Zu Dashou and others calmed down and gathered at the mansion to discuss.
Although Zu Dashou knew that Zhou Zheng's tactics had been used before, he still felt uncomfortable, his face was calm and he didn't speak.
Zhou Zheng sat side by side with him, glanced at him, and said with He Kegang, Cao Bianjiao and others: "We are more dangerous to build the captives and withdraw our troops. We will definitely continue to attack the city in the afternoon. What do you want to say?"
He Kegang glanced at the ancestor Dashou, hesitated and said: "Master Zhou, we have been killed and injured more than half in just a long time, you can't hide anymore."
Zu Dashou seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, turned to Zhou Zheng, and said solemnly: "If you used all your strength from the beginning, we would definitely not lose so much! If Jianlu came again, we have less than 10,000 left, how can we defend? "
Knowing that he was angry, Zhou Zheng explained: "This is what we negotiated from the beginning. The buildups are coming fiercely. Apart from boosting morale and stubborn resistance, we will use our full strength from the beginning. What do we do next?"
Zu Dashou's face still had blood stains in the hair, and he was a little embarrassed. The corners of his mouth moved, turning to He Kegang, and said, "What's going on in the supervisor's side?"
He Kegang said: "My lord, we are surrounded by prisoners, and we don't know anything about the news outside. Presumably the supervisor must be trying to rescue us."
Zu Dashou made a calm face, and then stopped talking.
Youtun is a small city. Even with Zhou Zheng’s 15,000 people and his 5,000 people, nearly half of the 20,000 people have been killed and injured in just half a day. What should I do if the prisoners come back
What's more, their food lasts a month at most!
Zhou Zheng looked at the pessimistic color on everyone's faces, smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, we basically held on."
Zu Dashou turned his head to Zhou Zheng and couldn't help but angrily said: "We only have 10,000 people left. There is not enough food for a month. How do you keep it?"
Zhou Zheng looked calm and said: "We have 10,000 dead and injured, and the Jiankui must have lost even more. They are just a few people. As long as we guard in the afternoon, there will be no next time. In the afternoon, I will fire the cannon."
He Kegang and others listened to Zhou Zheng's words, their faces cheered up.
Zhou Zheng was right. Unless Jianlu took the Youtun in one go, if another eight thousand deaths and injuries would be enough for Jianlu to heartache, there would be 30,000 people left and nothing could be done!
This time they marched in a hurry. They were all elites, and there were not many Mongolian and Han troops that could not withstand the loss.
Zu Dashou's face was a little soothing, and after considering it for a moment, he said, "That afternoon, we will all go to the city and fight back!"
There are reinforcements below, and the soldiers on the wall have the confidence to show extraordinary combat power; if there is no below, fight to the death, perhaps they can exert their maximum combat power!
Zhou Zheng thought about it and said, "Okay."
Zu Dashou stood up straight and said dullly: "I'll go out and have a look."
He Kegang was his lieutenant, and he quickly followed suit.
The Zudashou people left, and the rest are Zhou Zheng's people.
Watching Zu Dashou leave, Meng Hezhou whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear: "My lord, we took the head. It is true that the people from Jianlu are all the elites of the Eight Banners. The others are behind, and they are expected to arrive in five days. There is also news that , The people who have built prisoners in Youtun should have already joined them."
Zhou Zheng looked out the door with a faint look, his face was faint, and he said, "What I asked you to do, is it done?"
Meng Hezhou glanced at the others and whispered: "It's done."
Holding a knife in his hand, Zhou Zheng squinted his eyes and looked outside. He said to himself, "You can't make mistakes in Youtun. If anyone dares to traitor to the country and seek glory, I will not be merciless!"
Chu Jin, Cao Bianjiao, and the others were full of expressions. They all knew that there were prisoners in Youtun, and Zu Dashou had spoken to Zhou Zheng from the beginning.
After Zhou Zheng said this sentence for a long time, he said, "Is there any movement on the supervisor's side?"
Chu Jin said: "My lord, the supervisor has mobilized nearly 100,000 troops from Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, and Jinzhou. They have gathered in Jinzhou and Songshan. They have reached the Daling River and Dalinghe, and there is no other action for the time being. The adult's letter has been sent long ago. ."
Zhou Zheng hummed, pondered for a long time, then suddenly stood up, took out an official document, and said in a deep voice: "Now, the official officially takes over Youtun! Cao Bianjiao, with the command of his supervisor, takes over everything for Youtun! It's all!"
The faces of Meng Hezhou, Cao Bianjiao and others were slightly shocked, because Zu Dashou had been dissatisfied just now. If Zhou Zheng suddenly took over Youtun, what would he think
However, they only had short-term doubts, and immediately stood up and responded loudly, "Yes!"
Cao Bianjiao and others took Sun Chengzong's order to take over Youtun in an all-round way.
Zu Dashou quickly brought He Kegang and others to Zhou Zheng angrily, with a dozen guards beside him.
Zhou Zheng Dama Jindao was sitting on the main seat, looking at the map of Liaodong, especially Youtun and Dalinghe area, and did not look up at their arrival.
Zu Dashou looked at Zhou Zheng with an ugly expression, and said, "I thought you were still a good friend, but I didn't expect you to be such a person!"
Without raising his head, Zhou Zheng said, "From now on, you will stay here, and you are not allowed to leave without my order. If anyone moves in disorder, he will be put to death for treason!"
He Kegang immediately said: "Zhou Zhengyun, you don't have this right!"
Zhou Zheng looked up at him and said, "This command comes from the supervisor, and the supervisor holds the Shangfang sword, cut first and then play it!"
He Kegang didn't dare to speak immediately, and turned to look at Zu Dashou.
Zu Dashou was the deputy commander-in-chief, under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou, Mangui.
He wrinkled his brows, stared at Zhou Zheng for a while, snorted coldly, and said, "If you mess around, I will have five thousand people, enough to die with you!"
Zhou Zheng put away the map, stood up, looked at Zu Dashou, and said lightly: "The city is here, and the city is dead. You don't need to doubt my determination."
Zu Dashou's face was still ugly, staring at Zhou Zheng, but didn't speak any more.
Zhou Zheng passed through them. He took over Youtun. Jianlu would come again soon. He had too much work to do.
He Kegang looked at Zhou Zheng's back and comforted Zu Dashou and said, "My lord, let's bear it for the time being. You can't do without an adult to defend the city."
Zu Dashou took a deep breath, sat down on a chair beside him, closed his eyes, and said, "Since he won't let us go, we will take a rest. Now no one is allowed to leave."
Seeing him sitting down, He Kegang quickly explained a few words to others, and stood behind Zu Dashou.
Cao Bianjiao and others were rapidly deploying city defenses, dozens of cannons were pushed up to the city, quietly and violently toward the north.
After Cao Bianjiao finished the arrangement, he came to Zhou Zheng and looked at the direction of the Jianluo camp. He said, "My lord, Jianlu is in this posture. I'm afraid he will come again soon. What's more, the adults also killed the eldest son of the thief chief."
Zhou Zheng didn't care about this, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Get the grenade."
Cao Bianjiao's expression changed slightly, and he whispered: "My lord, Shen Shangshu once instructed that this kind of thing should not be used at a critical moment. If it is caught by the supervisor, it is a catastrophe."
Zhou Zheng looked calm and said: "Is there any more critical than this time?" (End of this chapter)
