Borrow the day to change the day

Zuo Yingxuan suddenly thought of the daughter in the distance, who was older than the girl in front of him, and wondered if he could see her again.

His longing flashed by, and immediately he turned around and asked the yamen servant behind him: "Isn't the supply of the family of the village soldiers doubled? You go and check, it's the porridge restaurant that doesn't follow the rules."

"Xianzun, it's not like this. The old man fell down after receiving the porridge, so there is less porridge today." Seeing that the county lord misunderstood and wanted to check the person who gave the porridge, the old woman quickly explained.

Zuo Yingxuan heard it, pondered for a while, called a yamen servant, and told him to fetch a bowl of porridge, then he asked the old woman, "Old man, do you only have one son?"

"Yes, I only have such a son, and his wife was lost outside the city. I'm afraid it will be a disaster." The old woman said a little sadly, but in front of the county magistrate, she forcibly suppressed it and dared not express it. [

The little girl didn't understand what a daughter-in-law meant, so while looking at her wife, she went to look at this kind county uncle.

After hearing this, Zuo Yingxuan turned around and said to the remaining yamen servant behind him again: "Go and pass on an order to change his son from a village soldier to a civilian husband, and his family's rations will remain the same."

After hearing this, the yamen servant ran to pass the order after asking for his name.

The old woman knew that the magistrate was worried that if her son died in battle, no one would be able to take care of herself and Lin Yue. She gratefully wanted to thank her again, but was stopped by Zuo Yingxuan.

The first yamen servant soon brought back a bowl of porridge and gave it to the old woman.When the little girl saw it, she stopped looking at Zuo Yingxuan, and stared at the bowl of porridge with her big eyes.

Zuo Yingxuan didn't stay here any longer, he touched the girl's little head, and continued to inspect.

As he walked, he thought that if the war continued, there would be even less food, and the old, weak and young children in the city would be in danger.Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, someone has to be sent out to ask for reinforcements.

Thinking of this, Zuo Yingxuan stopped moving forward, turned around and went back to the top of the city, he went to discuss with Shi Guozhu, intending to talk to him about this idea, and choose someone to send to ask for help.

Before Zuo Yingxuan reached the city wall, the jng bell rang. Listening to the sound, it was the sound of the jng bell looking for him.Not knowing what happened on the top of the city, he hurriedly quickened his pace and headed towards the top of the city in the east direction.

On the top of the city, Zuo Yingxuan found that there was already a group of Jianlu in red shirts waiting outside the city.The gentry guarding this section saw Zuo Yingxuan, and approached Hui to report: "These Tartars are here to ask when they will open the city gate and surrender, and they want to see Li Yingfang who came yesterday to persuade him to surrender."

Jianlu is not a fool, he will not believe again and again that he can persuade Changli to surrender.Now relying on this strategy has been delayed for a day, and the person has been killed by himself, it is necessary to talk again, let Jianlu know Changli's determination!Zuo Yingxuan thought of this, and asked people to throw Li Yingfang's head to Jianlu outside the city.

Dai Song'a didn't say much, took Li Yingfang's head, and went back to Daying to report to Dai Shan.

Zuo Yingxuan knew that after Jianlu persuaded him to surrender, he was about to start attacking the city, so he ordered the whole city to be on alert.

Sure enough, not long after, tens of thousands of Tartars began to pour out from several Tatar camps outside Changli City, and completely surrounded Changli County.

Zuo Yingxuan came to the highest arrow tower in Changli, and was surprised to see the attacking Tartars densely covered the outside of the city like locusts.Hastily sent an order to ring the highest-level jng bell, and all the combatants took their positions.

Daishan, the commander-in-chief of the Tartars outside the city, led the leaders of various Mongolian tribes to watch the battle on a high ground in the east of the city, expecting the army to attack the city in one fell swoop.But Aobai was not here, he went back to Yongping to report Li Yingfang's death to Huang Taiji.

The leaders of the Mongolian tribes were betting with each other to see which tribe would attack first, and the bet was part of the property of the Ming people that had been robbed earlier.

Zuo Yingxuan and Shi Guozhu at the head of Changli City saw the distribution of the Tartar army outside the city, and the two of them joined forces and made a division of labor.

Zuo Yingxuan commanded the overall situation from the archery tower, and Shi Guozhu concentrated the few cannons on the top of the city to the east gate where the Tartars were most densely populated, and directed the gunners to fire. [

Zuo Yingxuan asked two yamen servants to go around the city in two directions, east and west, checking the defense equipment and ordering the order of attack at the same time.

This order of attack has been told to the leaders of the township soldiers defending the city in advance, and this time the Tartars are powerful, so I emphasized it again.

Several porridge spots in the city no longer serve porridge, and evacuate the old and weak in line, so as to make a smooth road for the transfer of township soldiers and the support of civilian husbands.

The old and the weak also cooperated very well, there was no disturbance or crying, and they quietly moved aside, begging for blessings from the gods and Buddhas of their respective beliefs.

The city of Changli is small, and there is no space for the Tartars to attack the city together. They can only be divided into multiple siege echelons, ready to attack the city in turn.

The Tartars outside the city were very excited.Their leader had already described to them the wealth in the city, and tens of thousands of troops attacked this small county together, and it was not easy to capture it.They seemed to see a mountain of gold in front of them, just waiting for them to grab it.

As soon as the attack drum sounded, the Tartars rushed towards the city wall.

On the top of the city, the leader of the township soldiers began to stand up to observe the enemy's situation, while the township soldiers were still squatting there nervously waiting for the order to be issued.

Shi Guozhu looked at the swarming Tartars, and ordered the gunners to aim at a large group of Tartars carrying the ladder.After entering the firing range, with a "boom", the cannon shot out violently.

Daishan saw a puff of smoke rising from the top of the city, and then the sound of cannons, he couldn't help being taken aback, he had never fired a cannon before, and only now did it fire, the Ming army in Changli really held their breath.

In fact, from another aspect, it is not because of the shortage of materials.

The tartar who was carried at the front of the ladder was rushing towards him, and suddenly felt a heavy hand, thinking that the tartar on the other side let go of the ladder lazily, so he looked over while running, wanting to scold him.

But found that Huan's companion who was screaming just now had lost his head, his neck was sprayed with blood, ran a few steps, and then fell down.

The one behind the headless companion also let out a scream at this time, and then was knocked by the corpse in front of him, and then fell to the ground.He didn't have time to look back, because of the imbalance on both sides of the ladder, the ladder tilted, pulling him down while running.

The tartars around this ladder fell immediately, which also affected the subsequent attacks of their companions.The other companions on both sides have surpassed them, just like water flooding the plains, encountering a hill, bypassing the two sides, and continuing to move forward.

Luckily, the tartar who fell to the ground was wearing thick clothes, so it was not a big deal. He stood up while cursing.

Only then did they realize that their companions on the side of the ladder had been lucky, and the iron eggs fired by the cannon just plowed a line along the edge of the ladder.The companions on this line either died torn to pieces, or howled desolately while hugging their stumped limbs.

These Tartars who survived must not be saved, and the follow-up Tartar companions stepped forward to end their suffering, then took the ladder and continued to attack the city.

There are only two cannons on the top of Changli City that can shoot far. With the sound of the cannons, you can see a line plowed through the dense pile of Jianlu from time to time, and then covered by Jianlu.

Zuo Yingxuan on the watchtower noticed the Tartars coming from a distance, with shields tied to both sides of the ladder they were carrying.My heart tightened, and I quickly asked the yamen servant to pass the order, so that the strong and strong men in the bows and arrows should also switch to rolling wood and stones.At the same time, another yamen servant was sent to recruit strong and strong men from the civilian husband team in the city.

There is no moat in Changli City, and it is easy for the Tartars to attack under the city wall.Soon, a ladder was erected on the city wall, and they were still placed side by side.Some Tartars supported the ladder, and some Tartars began to attack the city. At the same time, the archers among the Tartars began to suppress the city with bows and arrows.

If you look down from the sky, you can see that the ground outside Changli City is surrounded by gray Tartars, who are attacking the city with ants.The small city of Changli is like a small boat in the vast ocean, which can be overturned by the waves at any time. [

Under the command of the leader of the village soldiers, bows, arrows and muskets shot down from the crenels of the city wall.The muskets were fine. At such a close range, they often smashed and killed the shields tied to the ladders and the tartars on the ladders.

But the power of bows and arrows is much worse. There are many arrows stuck in the shields beside the ladders, but they can't hurt the Tartars climbing the ladders.

Seven or eight ladders are put together, and the advantages of this way of placing ladders are quickly seen.The outermost Tartars were the most attacked, and they were often overturned as soon as they climbed the ladder.But the tartar on the ladder in the middle is obviously much better, forming a "convex" shape, and is attacking the city wall.
