Firearms are extremely lethal, especially when facing the siege of the prisoners.
The war lasted from the morning to the evening. I don’t know how many people were lost.
Huang Taiji watched the thick smoke billowing and the continuous explosions under Youtun City, his expression no longer as calm as before.
Yue Tuo stood behind him and said in a low voice: "Sweat, you can withdraw it now."
Huang Taiji suddenly smiled on Shen Mo's face and said, "This person, Ben Khan must get it! Let Ji'er Harang withdraw, it's almost enough."
"Yes!" A guard behind him sent an order immediately.
Huang Taiji looked at Youtun from a distance, and said, "Ajige, Yue Tuo, you rate 20,000 people and stare at the Daling River. Whenever the Ming army crosses, you will eat everything for me!"
"Yes!" Azige, Yue Tuo listened, quickly turned around, fired his troops, ready at any time, waiting to rescue the Ming army from Youtun to cross the Daling River.
Jinzhou.
Sun Chengzong and others are still waiting for the news from Youtun. After 100,000 troops gather, they may cross the Daling River in the next moment.
But even if there is an army of 100,000, the generals in Jinzhou City do not have much confidence and are waiting anxiously at this moment.
Wu Xiang was a little unbearable, and said, "It's almost a day. Is there no news about Zu Dashou?"
Man Gui, Zhao Sujiao and the others kept their faces calm and turned their eyes to Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong carried his hands on his back, and the wrinkles on his face looked like a knife. He looked north without saying a word.
I don’t know how long it took, a horse galloped forward and said loudly: "Youtun urgent letter! Youtun urgent letter!"
Man Gui looked at it, and quickly said loudly: "Quick, hang up!"
Everyone in Jinzhou City stared at this messenger, eager to know the specific situation of Youtun.
The messenger came up quickly and went straight to Sun Chengzong, kneeling down on one knee and said: "Thanks to the governor, Zhou Zhengyun, Master Zhou is anxious."
Sun Chengzong snatched it over, tore it open, and hurried downstairs.
Man Gui, Zhao Lijiao and a group of people saw it inexplicably. Many people followed. Man Gui grabbed the messenger and said angrily: "What happened to Youtun? What did Zhou Zhengyun write in the letter?"
The messenger was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't know, Youtun Youtun... By the way, the secret letter written by Master Zhou said that only the supervisor can untie it."
Man Gui pushed away the messenger, strode after Sun Chengzong and left.
Sun Chengzong came to the study, shielded everyone, took out a book and a ruler, and began to translate word by word.
Man Gui, Zhao Lijiao, Wu Xiang and others stood at the door and waited anxiously. If Sun Chengzong's prestige were not too high, they would have to rush in.
Sun Chengzong translated for a long time. After the translation was finished, he looked at it carefully. Sun Chengzong's brows began to frown, and there was a slight condensed color on his old face.
After looking at it for a while, Sun Chengzong picked up the letter and the translator and set it alight on a candle.
Zhao Shujiao and Man Gui glanced at each other, couldn't help but rushed in, and said eagerly, "My lord, what's going on with Youtun?"
Sun Chengzong watched the letter burnt and looked at the two men and said: "You two lead the army out of the city, ready to cross the river at any time!"
The two of them who were still questioning, immediately raised their hands and said, "The last general will take his orders!"
Sun Chengzong said again: "Order Qiu Hejia and order him to be ready."
"Yes!" a guard answered.
Jinzhou moved quickly, and the army entered the most tense state of combat readiness, and could cross the river at any time to rescue Youtun.
Matsuyama.
Qiu Hejia'borrowed' in Songshan, has completely controlled Songshan City. Looking at this newly built big city, Qiu Hejia is very satisfied.
At this moment, after listening to Sun Chengzong's letter, he looked at the direction of Youtun with a smile on his face.
Pi Xiang stood behind him and said cautiously: "My lord, are we going out of the city?"
Qiu Hejia sneered and said, "Fighting with Jianluo, let alone one hundred thousand, even two hundred thousand is no use. Why should I save Zhou Zhengyun? I feel that the embarrassment he has given me is not enough?"
Pi Lian said hurriedly: "What the lord said. Then, how can the supervisor reply?"
Qiu Hejia said indifferently: "He is the supervisor and I am the governor, how can I reply? Obey orders."
Pi Xiang suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "It's an adult!"
…
Youtun.
As the sky darkened, Jianlu finally withdrew his troops, and there was a mess under Youtun.
They couldn't take away too many corpses of the prisoners. The stumped limbs were broken and the corpses were covered. The black and blood red of the bombing were intertwined. Under the setting sun, there was an unspeakable beauty.
On Youtun City, the Ming army was very excited and happy. Under the power of cannons and grenades, they lost very little, and they had great confidence in defending Youtun!
Cao Bianjiao watched Jianlu retreat, wiped his sweat, went to Jiange, and said with a smile: "My lord, Jianlu retired."
Zhou Zheng naturally saw it too, hummed, and said, "Let's have dinner."
When Cao Bianjiao listened to Zhou Zheng's words, he was a little stunned. Is this completely different from what they used to be
After all, it was a big victory. The soldiers were very happy when they started their meal early. Cao Bianjiao responded and went to pass the order.
Zhou Zheng returned to the mansion, looked at Zu Dashou and the others, and went straight into his study, sat on a chair, closed his eyes and kept his breath, and after a while, there was a soft snoring sound.
After a while, Shangguanqing came in with the food, watching Zhou Zheng was already asleep, but the fatigue on his face could not go away.
She felt a little distressed, she closed the door lightly after looking at it for a while, sat at the door, and ate softly to herself.
In less than half an hour, the whole Youtun smelled of meat and wine, and all the soldiers were excited to eat, drink, and eat meat.
In the mansion, Zu Dashou and others smelled the scent, and then listened to the reports from outsiders. Their faces were livid, asking Zhou Zheng to settle the accounts and ask them clearly.
The food and grass in Youtun can only last for half a month at most. Where can we eat and drink like this
However, Zhou was sleeping and Shangguanqing was guarding. Not to mention seeing him, everyone who dared to make a big noise was driven away by her.
Youtun defended it, and the news naturally spread to Jinzhou and Songshan soon. Their reactions were mixed, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Jianlu men did not break the Youtun, the loss was not small, but they did not panic too much. They still missed three of them, and lie in ambush north of the Daling River, waiting for reinforcements in the direction of Jinzhou.
Zhou Zheng slept for more than two days at a time, and didn't wake up until two days later.
When he woke up, Shangguanqing, Meng Hezhou, Cao Bianjiao and others were all around him, and said with joy: "My lord, you finally woke up."
Zhou Zheng was very exhausted and lethargic after being highly stressed. He woke up a little groggy and hungry. He looked at a few people and asked, "What's the situation outside?"
Meng Hezhou hurriedly said: "My lord, Jianluo didn't attack the city again. The supervisor did not send troops. By the way, Jianluo's reinforcements have arrived. The total number is about 80,000."
Zhou Zheng rubbed his head, reluctantly thought for a while, and said: "Be prepared for a while, carefully build the captives and attack the city again." (End of this chapter)
