In the back house of the government office in the city, Li Heng's concubine Sun had tears in her eyes, but she was wearing the most decent clothes.
Li Heng sat on the chair and watched his old servant Qian Rui put two white silk ribbons on the beams.
He waved his hand and told Lao Qian to step back.
Li Heng took a sip of tea.
This was the Longjing Tea before the Rain in the West Lake that he had always been reluctant to drink.
Since he was about to travel to the west, what else would he do?
Looking at the tearful Sun family, he felt sad.
Fortunately, his wife Zhang and her three sons and one daughter were all in her hometown of Songjiang.
Even Sun's son was raised by Zhang in Songjiang's hometown.
Finally, it would not affect the children and grandchildren.
This was also the reason why Sun didn't cry too much.
Li Heng said that although his crime of losing Zhuozhou was not a small matter, according to the custom of the imperial court, which committed suicide and died for the country, it would not harm his descendants and would provide compensation, so he had no regrets.
If he fell into the hands of Jiannu, he would be infamy for thousands of years.
Have to be harmed.
Li Heng had been waiting for the moment when the city was broken.
He waited and did not hear the panic sounds in the city.
He lamented in his heart why it was so difficult.
Suddenly, there was a continuous roaring sound like thunder, and after a moment, there was another continuous roaring sound.
Li Heng's heart was beating wildly, and he was sweating all over.
Was it at this moment?
Was the city broken?
.
Li Heng listened carefully and found no panicked shouts from the people.
Jiannu did not enter the city.
At this time, Li Heng still had thoughts in his heart, in case he defeated Jiannu.
Li Heng waited for another long meal.
At this moment, there was a rapid knocking on the door, and the old voice of Old Qian outside the door shouted, "Master is very happy, our army has won a great victory, and the slaves have retreated."
Yes.
Master, did you hear that Jiannu has withdrawn his troops?"
Li Heng's eyes widened with excitement.
He wanted to stand up, but couldn't do anything, so he had no choice but to ask Sun to open the door.
As soon as Sun opened the door, he saw Lao Qian stumbled in and panted, "Master Wan'an.
Mr.
Zhao from Denglai led his troops to repel the Jiannu army.
I'm so happy that the Jiannu have withdrawn."
"Is this serious?"
Li Heng asked hoarsely.
"It's absolutely true.
Mr.
An sent someone to report it.
Jiannu was killed and injured by a gunpowder packet, and he has withdrawn his troops."
Lao Qian swore.
Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Old Qian, you wait outside the door while I change my clothes first.
Then I go to Beicheng to have a look."
Lao Qian hurriedly exited the door.

Li Heng stood up tremblingly.
Unexpectedly, he lost strength and fell to the ground.
Li Heng fell to the ground and cried, "The heaven and the earth appeared to save Li."
Mrs.
Sun hurriedly stepped forward to help her and kept comforting her.
When Li Heng came to the north city head in new clothes, Jiannu's brigade had already withdrawn for several miles, and the artillery on the city began to roar again.
Although it could not cause major damage to Jiannu, it could not make Jiannu comfortable.
Bombarding the retreating queue, Ren Sui tensed up against the bullets that would suddenly appear and bring death.
Li Heng faced the corpses spread under the city and the smelly smell floating above the city, and immediately vomited.
This was really no place for people to stay.
An Yongde, Silao, Francisco and others were chatting happily.
This situation of being about to sink and immediately reverse made them extremely excited.
Zhao Lie looked at the north with a telescope and thought to himself, "Does Jian Nu dare to do it again?
This time Zhao Lie used ten thousand kilograms of black gunpowder to make hundreds of gunpowder packets of fifteen kilograms each.
This time, the West City and the East City shared More than two hundred explosive packets were taken.
Zhao Lie's team also brought a hundred gunpowder bags, and there are still nearly 500 gunpowder bags.
Enough for a slave to have a good drink.
At this moment, he was hoping that Jiannu could attack again, but he didn't have much hope.
This time Jiannu was very injured.
If he were Huang Taiji, he would definitely not attack the fortified city again, and he couldn't afford to lose it.
Huang Taiji was able to become the leader of a country today, and of course he was not a reckless person.
As the leader of the country, he must first know the way of balancing, and when to make a decision clearly.
Huang Taiji has made countless trade-offs and decisions along the way.
Today is the time to weigh things up again.
Mang Gurtai in the west city reported that the Ming army used gunpowder packs to kill a large number of Zhenglan Banner's armored soldiers and bannermen, as well as the Mongolian soldiers who cooperated with the siege.
Zhenglan Banner's vitality was severely damaged and it was unable to fight anymore.
At this time, the number of casualties was being counted.
It was already late, and the slave-building soldiers began to make food.
After all, they had no strength to fight.
Huang Taiji is also waiting for the total casualties of his subordinates Gushan Ezhen, Jiale Zhangjing, and Niulu Zhangjing.
This will determine whether to attack Zhuozhou again.
However, just by visual inspection, Huang Taiji estimates that there are thousands of casualties.
This is absolutely It's a stretch.
It seemed that he could only stop attacking Zhuozhou.
He stared at the Ming flag fluttering on the top of Zhuozhou city unwillingly.
The hatred in his heart was overwhelming.
He forcibly suppressed the thoughts of revenge in his heart.
At this time, maintaining strength was the key.
He was going to Ming Dynasty.
They come here to plunder money and food, not to damage their own strength.
This Ming army caused Dai Jin to lose many times the number of people he had lost since entering the customs.
He had no intention of consuming all the Jurchen troops under Zhuozhou City.
The best policy is to be patient for now and wait until this Ming army is no longer in the fortified city before annihilating it.
The battlefield that had been noisy all morning had quieted down.
The Polu troops in the city were also checking their battle damage.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The number of soldiers had not yet been reported.
Zhao Lie was preparing to face heavy losses.
In this morning's hard battle, the Polu troops also suffered heavy losses.
Less, definitely more than half of the casualties, which also indicates that the three most powerful infantrymen of the Polu Army, General Qian, have lost more than half of their combat power and are half disabled.
When Yu Dabao served him hot soup and sorghum rice, Zhao Lie was really in no mood to swallow it.
He was hungry but had no appetite.
This was the first time for Zhao Lie, and he felt distressed.
In the afternoon, Mang Gurtai from the West City returned to the army camp.
Many of the cavalry and bannermen were wounded and in an extremely embarrassed state.
Of course, none of the Han people who drove the trenches to attack the city were left.
They either died under the city or escaped and were built.
Slave beheaded.
Huang Taiji finally got the casualties of his troops.
More than 1,270 Jurchen soldiers and bannermen were killed and more than 300 were injured.
More than 1,300 Mongolian soldiers were killed in the battle, and more than 400 Han troops were killed.
More than 300 people were injured, and some wounded soldiers may not survive a few days.
These numbers of casualties meant that Huang Taiji didn't even have dinner.
The Jurchens' young men were precious.
Nowadays, the adult male population was only over one hundred thousand.
Excluding the disabled, sick and weak, there were only seventy or eighty thousand men who could mount a horse and go on an expedition.
Thousands of people have been lost since entering the pass, including nearly 3,000 Jurchen armors on this Denglai army, and thousands of Mongolian and Han troops inside.
They are all precious.
Currently, nearly half of the land in Liaodong is abandoned because no one is cultivating it.
Such losses make the leader of the Jin Kingdom heartbroken.
Also in a gloomy mood was Zhao Lie in Zhuozhou City.
In today's battle, the Polu army suffered more than 330 casualties.
More than 560 people were injured.
It can be said that the Polu army has gone through three battles, and now more than half of the soldiers have been injured and can no longer fight.
Zhao Lie spent the afternoon and evening in the medical camp.
Together with the Xuanfu officer, he visited and comforted the injured.
Fortunately, most of the injured were injured by arrow branches.
They were very painful because many of the injured parts were limbs, but they were not fatal.
As long as they take good care of themselves, some people will be disabled and retire from the army.
Among the injured, there are only more than 20 people seriously injured.
Whether they can survive it depends on the outcome of these two days.
At night, it turned out that in a single room in the official warehouse, Zhao Lie could not fall asleep for a long time under the dim oil lamp.
When he closed his eyes, he saw the figures of hundreds of soldiers of the Polu Army lying outside in the ice and snow.
This time when he returned to the Martyrs' Shrine, he would It's more than doubled in size.
It's just that Zhao Lie never wanted to see this kind of growth.
These people all died in fierce battles with Jiannu under his command.
Again, without his help, these people might have died long ago, but they might still be alive and well today.
Only God, the thief, might be able to figure out this confusing account.
It wasn't until the end of the hour that Zhao Lie fell into a deep sleep.
December 20, the second year of Chongzhen's reign, was a snowy day with light snow, a howling north wind, and biting cold.
This time, the Jiannu military camp did not have dinner too early because Huang Taiji no longer planned to continue attacking Zhuozhou, the stronghold of the Jiannu army.

The soldiers started to get up and move around at Chen time.
The Ming army in Zhuozhou City was still paying close attention to Jiannu's movements.
After all, Jiannu's army of more than 20,000 people was not a vegetarian, even though they won a victory.
It's not time to let down your guard yet.
At the end of Chenshi, five Jiannu cavalry came to the city with white flags.
One of the Han soldiers shouted that he hoped the Ming army would allow the Jin army to collect the corpses under the city, but there was nothing they could do.
There are also corpses of four or five generals whose true identities were revealed.
Without saying a word, Han Jian from Beicheng ordered his gunmen to open fire.
Yesterday, more than half of his soldiers were killed or wounded.
Han Jian was so distressed that he only slept for an hour.
At this time, his eyes were filled with red threads.
What, collect the corpses.
It's better to stay and keep company.
Amidst the roar of fire cannons, two Jiannu cavalry fell off their horses.
One Jiannu cavalry's horse was killed.
The remaining three and two fled on horseback, and one escaped on foot. .
Several people fled back to the camp in embarrassment and reported the truth.
Mang Gurtai was furious and waited for the army to attack Zhuozhou again.
Huang Taiji subdued him.
He was joking.
If he attacked Zhuozhou again and was blown up by gunpowder again, he would really be killed. way.
"King Khan, my servant Ning Wanwo asked the king for an order to go to Zhuozhou to persuade the Ming army garrison to surrender."
Ning Wanwo, the Han minister, asked for orders.
"You, Nikan, are not crazy.
The Zhuozhou guard has a blood feud with me, Dajin, and yet you go to persuade these enemies to surrender."
Mang Gurtai glared at Ning Wanme with blood-red eyes and thought to himself, you fucking Crazy.
"Three great Baylors.
In the past, Pang De followed Ma Chao and almost killed Cao Cao.
Later, he surrendered Cao Cao and died on the battlefield for Cao Wei.
Famous generals choose their masters to serve.
Our country is now prosperous.
The king of the country is Shengming.
Master Ming, why can't I persuade him?"
Ning Wan and I completely thought it was a storm.
He was well aware of the conflict between Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji.
He was brought down by Huang Taiji, so it was self-evident who he worked for.
Mang Gurtai was speechless for a moment.
When Ye Zhupi was alive, he loved Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Policy of the Three Kingdoms the most.
Every time he watched and pondered it, he knew the three flavors of it.
Therefore, his nephew and nephew were also familiar with the allusions in the Three Kingdoms.
Is this really the case?
How can I refute it?
, and citing scriptures is not what Mang Gurtai, who has a rough grasp of Chinese characters, is good at.
"Ningwan me, you can be sure."
Huang Taiji was slightly moved.

"King Binghan, I have no confidence at all."
Mang Gurtai was about to go berserk.
Damn, I'm not sure.
What are you talking about?
Ning Wanmei continued, "This man and this army are our most powerful enemies ever.
Even if we cannot persuade him to surrender, I can still have an interview with him so that I can find out in detail what kind of wise general he is.
Now, I, Big Jin, have no idea about this wise general and other generals."
The Ming troops under his command know nothing about this, which is a taboo for military strategists."
This sentence touched Huang Taiji, who believed that if he had known something about this general, the Jurchen soldiers would never have suffered such heavy losses when they ran into him blindly
