Borrow the day to change the day

Huang Taiji arrived in Changli near noon the next day. There were more than 5 cavalry troops, and the real horses were galloping, and the momentum was huge.Although it was not close to the city of Changli, 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. He saw so many soldiers and horses, and the bright yellow dragon flag inside. He knew that the slave chiefs had also arrived.

Zuo Yingxuan was secretly startled by Jianlu's situation, not to mention the others.

He immediately realized that his emotions were not right, so he adjusted his mentality, frowned, thought about it, and immediately burst out laughing.

The following country gentry and nearby country soldiers looked over one after another, a little bit strange, could it be that the county lord was frightened stupid by Jianlu?Logically, it shouldn't be! [

Zuo Yingxuan created enough attention, so he suppressed his laughter and said, "In our small city of Changli, the Jianlu were defeated. Now they are out in force, and even the slave chieftains are here. You say, we are strong, Or is Jianlu great?"

Hearing what the county lord said, the people around seemed to realize for the first time that he was so strong, and Jianlu didn't seem to be that good!

All of a sudden, the morale of the city was up.

Zuo Yingxuan strikes while the iron is hot: "Yesterday, I saw that my army will not take in at night, what does this mean?"

The people around him recalled what they saw or heard about Ye Bushuo yesterday, their faces were full of hope, and they all responded to the county magistrate: "The reinforcements from the imperial court are coming soon!"

"Yes, the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive soon. Jianlu can't even win against us. Can he beat the elite imperial reinforcements?" Zuo Yingxuan asked loudly.

"I can't beat it, I can't beat it..." The people around were full of confidence and answered in unison.There was joy in the shout, and it floated over the sky of Changli City.

The soldiers and civilians who heard the sound raised their heads to look at the source of the sound. Although they didn't know what it was, they could still feel the joy.It is said that happiness is contagious, and the people who heard the voice felt better, and washed away the worries just now.

Seeing that his words had an effect, Zuo Yingxuan ordered them to do their own thing, leaving Wanjie alone.

He said to Wanjie: "The army of slave chieftains is coming, and there must be a hard fight. The publicity has been paved in the past two days, and now you are going to officially go on stage to boost morale."

"Student understands." Wanjie nodded.

"Okay, let's get ready." Zuo Yingxuan watched Wanjie bid farewell after finishing speaking, thinking in his heart that after using all these methods, his morale should not drop.Next, he could only confront Jianlu head-on.

Besides, after Huang Taiji came to Changli, he didn't immediately go to the Jianlu camp in the Guanhou Temple in the east of the city, but looked at Changli City nearby.

I just passed by before and didn't pay much attention to the city.Now that I take a closer look, I realize that this county is really small (only 025 square kilometers).Compared with the Jinzhou I have seen before, Zunhua and Yongping are basically of two grades.

The leaders of Jianlu around him were also surprised that it took more than 7000 gold elites to fight for such a city for three or four days, but they still couldn't take it down?

After hearing the news, Jierhalang and Abatai rushed to meet the Great Khan. Huang Taiji didn't give them a good look. He glanced at them and asked, "Why can't we win such a small city for so long? Could it be that we have left the inner camp?" , won’t you go to war?”

It is also true that the cities of the Ming Dynasty that resisted resolutely were brought down only by relying on internal response.The few cities that do not rely on internal support are basically guarded by dog ​​officials who are greedy for life and fear of death, and they surrendered when they were frightened.

Abate did not speak, because this time the leader was Jierhalang, a close friend of Huang Taiji.

"Big Khan, the dog officials in this city are not simple. The village soldiers inside are organized in an orderly manner. The defense of the city is rigid and well-organized. There are no craftsmen in our army, and there are materials around to make siege equipment, so we can only use bows and arrows. Suppression, ladders, climbing the city, and a giant log hitting the door." Knowing that Abate would not take the initiative to speak at this time, Jierhalang took the responsibility himself. [

"There are only local soldiers inside, and they can't be defeated even with bows and arrows. Is it possible that the archery skills of mere rural soldiers can surpass my Dajin warriors?" Huang Taiji has not yet spoken. He is on the same level as Jierhalang, but he is the youngest. Heshuo Baylor Duduo asked first.

Jierhalang didn't dare to neglect, Duoduo was the son of Nurhachi with real power, and he also had an elder brother Dorgon who had the same strength.So he replied seriously: "The magistrate of Changli used a simple trick to break the suppression of the bow and arrow."

Having said that, he turned to face Changli County, pointed to the city wall and said, "Khan, please look at the rows of wooden rafts standing on the top of the city, just blocking most of the guarding soldiers on the wall." , so it can only be shot upwards from the crenel, so the bow and arrow have little effect."

Under Ji Erhalang's guidance, everyone noticed the uniqueness of the city.They are all sensible people, and after seeing it, they knew the magical effect of the wooden raft.

Huang Taiji calculated in his mind, and found that although Changli City was small, it seemed that it was really not easy to deal with.Without saying anything else, he called Jierhalang alone, turned around and returned to the camp.

At this time, Da Khan's tent for the Chinese army had already been set up, and Huang Taiji sat in the tent and asked Jierhalang who followed him in, "The people I sent from Yongping didn't succeed in persuading them to surrender last time?"

"Yes, those two were shot and wounded by bows and arrows in the city, and Changli refused to surrender." Jierhalang replied.

"Then who is the county magistrate of Changli, do you know?" Huang Taiji understood the situation step by step.

Jierhalang was taken aback, this, I really don't know.

Seeing his expression, Huang Taiji knew that he didn't know, so he asked again: "Where are the two people who went to persuade them to surrender?"

Ji Erhalang was puzzled again, how could Da Khan care so much about such trivial matters.He faltered and replied: "Probably, probably in the wounded barracks."

To be honest, that day when he saw the two of them returned after persuading them to surrender, he ignored them.Whether he is still alive or not is still unknown.

"Bring him to see me." Huang Taiji ordered.

He thought in his heart, only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we be victorious in all battles.He didn't know what kind of opponent he was, so he fought in such a muddle-headed manner. It's really a pity that Jierhalang has led soldiers for many years.

Soon, two Han men were carried into the big tent.The two were not welcome in the Jianlu camp, and no one paid any attention to them. Fortunately, it is severe winter and the weather is cold, so the wound did not speak, otherwise it would not be so miserable as starving and fainting.

Before Chen Junmin and Wang Yu were carried in, they had been given a few mouthfuls of rice soup. Although they had regained consciousness, their spirits were listless.At this time, he was summoned by the slave chieftain Huang Taiji, just like meeting his own father, crying profusely with snot and tears.

Huang Taiji was disgusted in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to comfort him, pretended to reprimand Jierhalang for being so disrespectful to a corporal, 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 approach the city wall to inquire about the city. The heroic deeds of the head movement.

Chen Junmin and Wang Yu share weal and woe now, so they don't expose him.Huang Taiji is not easy to deceive, otherwise he would not be a slave chieftain.

He automatically ignored these meritorious words. If he was so brave, he would not betray his ancestors and surrender to Dajin.

But what they said also made him understand something.

The county magistrate of Changli is called Zuo Yingxuan, and he has only been appointed magistrate in Changli for a few days.Judging from what the two said, Zuo Yingxuan seemed to be a fan of the government, intending to vote sincerity, but he was dissatisfied with the prefect position offered, and after being shot and wounded by his subordinates to persuade the envoy to surrender, Nai resisted. [

After these two people said this, Huang Taiji thought of surrendering again, not to mention that the county magistrate is indeed a talent, just to reduce the casualties of the Dajin warriors, it is worth a try.

But Nai knows so much about the county magistrate, and sending someone casually to persuade him to surrender is afraid that it will not be easy to communicate.Huang Taiji told the two Han men about this concern, to see if they could go again.

But these two people were not only injured, but also unfamiliar with Zuo Yingxuan.Chen Junmin had an idea, and played to Huang Taiji: "Khan, Changli County is under the jurisdiction of Yongping Prefecture. The situation of this new magistrate should be clear to the person in charge in Yongping City. You might as well send someone to understand the situation of this magistrate, and then Sending someone who is familiar with the magistrate of Changli to persuade them to surrender will have a multiplier effect."

When Huang Taiji heard that this idea was good, he nodded in agreement.Call a personal soldier and let him go to Yongping City with his own will.

Then Huang Taiji sent two Han men out, and sat alone in the big tent thinking about the problem.

Everything is not going well, a lot of trouble!
