The Mingji people fought with others on the home field of the Xiaohu Army, and they would definitely not be able to defeat the Xiaohu Army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It was just that in less than a quarter of an hour, the people of Mingji were suppressed by the Xiaohu army. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Mingji people immediately sent people to seize the main gate of the stronghold.

It is very difficult to take the door from the outside, as the gate and outer wall of the stronghold are used to defend against enemies from the outside, but it is not so difficult to take the door from the inside. The Mingji gathered about 200 musketeers and fired a volley at the defenders of the gate. The shooting distance of the Mingji army is very close, and the Xiaohu army does not have a bunker yet, so the hit rate of this round of salvo is quite high.

More than 20 soldiers of the Xiaohu Army were killed on the spot, and more than 30 were wounded. This casualty figure was caused instantaneously, and it gave a great psychological impact to the soldiers guarding the gate, and the morale of the soldiers was shaken. After a volley, the Mingji army immediately sent about 300 people to storm the defenders at the gate, and the Xiaohu army did not resist long before scattering and fled, with only a few dozen loyal soldiers under the leadership of several officers desperately resisting.

The outnumbered Xiaohu army soon lost control of the city gate, and the Ming Ji army opened the gate while pinning down the Xiaohu army guarding the gate. The coalition forces outside the stronghold had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as the gate opened, a coalition commando team of about three hundred people killed them.

The commando team was led by Maier himself, and the members of the commando team were selected from the personal guard and the King's Guard. By the way, Tal was also in the army, and he was always by Meier's side during the battle.

Since the coalition forces and the Mingji people have a common enemy, the two sides who have not been in contact with each other in advance have shown quite tacit understanding. The coalition forces did not fight the Mingji people, and the Mingji people did not fight the coalition forces, and everyone aimed their weapons at the Xiaohu army. In order to avoid being accidentally injured by the Mingji people, Maier did not let his Tairong troops participate in the battle.

With the cooperation of the Mingji people, the assault team quickly occupied the gate. The Xiaohu army continued to send people to counterattack, and most of the counterattacking troops were stopped by the Mingji people, and only a small number of people could rush to the vicinity of the lost gate.

The commandos joined forces with the Mingji people for a short while, and the follow-up troops of the coalition army followed. The second echelon was the volunteers brought by Wei Xu from Limi City, with a number of about two thousand, and the chief officer was Dan Yunhe.

In fact, this army should have arrived on the battlefield earlier, and Dan Yunhe fantasized that Maier would die in the enemy's stronghold, and deliberately slowed down the pace of the march, so that the third echelon behind arrived on the battlefield almost at the same time as the second echelon.

The third echelon also had two thousand men, and they came from Meir's personal guard, as well as the King's Guard. They joined the battle as soon as they arrived at the battlefield, while the second echelon of Danyun River was slowly organizing the formation and waited until the fourth echelon arrived before joining the battle.

The number of the fourth echelon is 5,000 people, all of whom are ancient people. Of these, three thousand were spearmen and two thousand were crossbowmen. The fourth echelon joined the battle before the second echelon, and when they joined the battle, the gate had been completely occupied, and the coalition forces began to cooperate with the Mingji people in the stronghold to attack the Xiaohu army.

As the assault team stormed the gates, the coalition forces launched a diversionary assault on the Xiaohu Army in other directions, preventing them from concentrating their forces on friendly forces in the stronghold. The loss of the gate and the dilemma of being attacked on all sides made the Xiaohu army miserable, and more and more soldiers lost the will to resist and surrendered to the coalition forces. As for the Mingji people, they behaved too fiercely, and the soldiers of the Xiaohu Army did not dare to surrender to them at all.

The commander of the Xiaohu army saw that the general situation was gone, and wanted to gather a cavalry and break through from another gate. However, the coalition had long expected the Xiaohu army to gather cavalry to break through, and they ambushed a large number of crossbowmen and musketeers outside each gate, and also set up spiked fences outside the strongholds, which were defended by spearmen. Under this defensive system, I am afraid that only the Eltic personal guard cavalry can fight their way out of the encirclement.

The commander of the Xiaohu army wanted the cavalry to help him clear the way, and when the cavalry broke through a gap for him, he would take his cronies to fight his way out of the encirclement. However, this guy's luck was so bad that a group of musketeers of the coalition saw a small group of cavalry standing still, barely within the range of the muskets, and fired a volley at the cavalry.

This volley hit only three people, one of whom was the commander of the Xiaohu Army. The projectile pierced his neck, and blood gushed out, seemingly unstoppable. But he did not die of hemorrhage, and after being hit by a projectile, he fell off his horse, broke his neck, and died instantly.

As soon as the commander died, the officers lost the will to resist and surrendered one after another. At first, the coalition forces did not realize that the sudden surrender of the cavalry was due to the death of the commander, and after interrogating the prisoners, it was discovered that the commander of the Xiaohu army had been killed. They immediately informed the whole army of the news, and the defenders in the stronghold heard the enemy's announcement, regardless of whether the news was true or not, and surrendered directly to the coalition forces.

In this battle, the coalition forces lost 683 killed and 820 wounded. More than 1,900 people were killed and more than 2,000 wounded. The Xiaohu army lost more than 4,000 killed and wounded more than 4,000. The Mingji people withdrew from their stronghold directly after the battle and did not make much contact with the coalition forces. The coalition offered to treat the wounded for the Mingji people, but the other side refused.

The surviving Xiaohu army all surrendered, and the Mingji people did not ask the coalition army for the spoils of war, but they took away the grain they bought from the Kingdom of Byrons and the cash handed over to them by the Xiaohu army. The weapons and equipment they left behind, as well as the bodies of the war dead, were also taken away.

Regarding the distribution of the spoils of war, the armor of the Tairong people did not apply to the Turges, who were not good at riding horses, so the armor and horses belonged to the Kingdom of Byrons. Mel gave the Egus 10,000 bows, 10,000 crossbows, 200,000 bows and arrows, and half of the captured funds to the Egus.

On November 20, 137 AH, the Egusian army returned home with the trophies. The armies of the Byrons and Tairong kingdoms were still stationed near the strongholds, and Maier had to repatriate the prisoners of war of the Xiaohu army in batches, a process that would take a lot of time and require a large number of troops to suppress the battlefield.

As Xiaohu Connection had originally envisioned, these prisoners of war consumed a lot of food in the Kingdom of Byrons. They had to eat when they were prisoners of war, and they had to eat on their way back to their homeland. With the titles of "Merciful One" and "Tayyong Liberator", Maier must not let the Tayrong people go hungry on the way back to their hometown.

However, the kingdom of Byron was not short of food at all, and this level of consumption was not stressful for Mel. After pulling out the nails planted by the connection of Xiaohu Lake, the southern border of the Tairong Kingdom was completely opened. The food of the Kingdom of Byron can be continuously transported to the Kingdom of Tairong, and the materials of the Kingdom of Tairong can also be continuously transported to the Kingdom of Byrons. The integration of the resources of the two countries will allow the economies of the two countries to develop rapidly, greatly accelerating the expansion process of Maier.

On December 20th, the troops of the Taeyong Kingdom began to return to Yaolin City. Three days later, the army of the Kingdom of Byron also set out on their journey home.

On January 3, 138 AH, Mel returned to the city of Byrons and held a victory parade outside the city of Byrons, which greatly boosted the enthusiasm of the people for war. Coincidentally, on the same day, Xiaohu Connect also held a military parade in Bogu City. However, the Xiaohu Connected Military Parade was not to celebrate victory, but to inspire the will of the people to resist.

On December 18, 137 AH, the Ira army broke through a fortified town in the north of Hakuya Castle and marched directly at Bogu City. Xiaohu Lianqin led a large army north to meet the enemy, thwarting the offensive of the Ira army, but did not hurt the vitality of the Ira's army. Xiaohu Company informed Dao that the Ira army would soon make a comeback, and as soon as the time came to January 1, 138 of the new calendar, the Ira army took advantage of the New Year of the Tairong people to launch a new wave of offensive.

Xiaohu Liantong didn't expect that the Ira army was even more despicable than himself, and he actually launched an offensive while the Tairong people were celebrating the festival. In order to boost morale, he could only hold a military parade in Bogu City. After the review, the troops will go directly to the northern front to meet the invading Ira's army. Xiaohu Liantong also gave a speech at Bogu Castle, saying that as long as he was alive, he would not hand over Bogu Castle to the Ira.

While the Xiaohu Army and the Ira Army were fighting hard, Maier was enjoying a long-lost comfortable time with his family.

The five children born to the four new princesses were all named by Xiaoxiao. Zhenxin gave birth to twin baby boys, the elder brother is called Chengzhi, and the younger brother is called Chengxian. An Jie's son is named Mingli, Nanyi's son is named Dingwu, and Yanhe's daughter is named Jingsi, all of which are names in the Ira style.

Alice is reluctant to name the five children, and Xiaoxiao wants to ask Gray or Yunxin to name the children, but the two give her the task. Alice knew very well what they meant by this, in the past, Mayer's children were named by Queen Alice, and now Gray and Yunxin named Xiaoxiao to name their five newborn children, which is equivalent to publicly admitting that Xiaoxiao is not a wife, but she is better than a wife.

After Xiaoxiao named the child, the relationship between the new princesses and Xiaoxiao became intimate. Since Alice and the others had been crowding out the four new princesses before, the new princesses had a very bad impression of Alice and the others. Zhenxin, who is too simple-minded, even said in public that Xiaoxiao is more suitable to be a queen than Alice.

Mel now has ten wives, six of whom are on Xiaoxiao's side, and Uris and Yishan are not Alice's allies, which makes Alice increasingly insecure, always fearing that Mel will suddenly depose her as the nominal queen. But on the surface, she had to pretend to be casual and share a comfortable time with the others.

In the days following Meier's return, the Byrons family held a tea party every day. The family sat together, drinking tea, eating snacks, chatting casually, talking and laughing. During the chat, Alice always "inadvertently" mentioned the matter of the concubine, making everyone aware of the existence of Ista and Lulu.

If Ista and Lulu were of marriageable age, they would have married another man if they hadn't been infatuated with Mel. With Myer's character, he will definitely live up to the infatuation of the two. At such times, Yishan would take advantage of the situation to talk about Yijuan and Yiyu, obviously wanting Maier to take them in by the way.

He Yan Zhiheng was an officer of the city defense army and did not go out with Meier. When Maier set out on the expedition, he brought a lot of shrine maidens, and Yanmeng was among them, and Xiaotori, who was an officer of the musket regiment, was also on the battlefield. He Yan Zhiheng was very worried about their safety, and often came out to talk to Yijuan, Yijuan would patiently persuade every time, until she and Yan Zhiheng settled down, she would return to Qingshi Palace with peace of mind.

As the captain of the Guard, Tal will definitely follow Maier on the expedition. In his absence, Yiyu was very boring. In order to pass the time, Yiyu often went to the side hall to see Maier's children. Yishan saw that Yiyu liked children very much, so she took the opportunity to tell her about Mel's magical ability of "one shot and one accuracy", saying that as long as Yiyu married Maier, she would soon have children. However, this ability seems to be a one-time time, Yishan has been sleeping a lot since she gave birth to a child, but her stomach has not moved, and the same is true for other pregnant princesses.

Yiyu wants to be a mother, but she doesn't want to marry Meier. Rui Ding occasionally comes to the Qingshi Palace with his child, Yi Yu has seen Rui Ting's child, he is very healthy and cute. Yiyu felt that even an old man like Pershing could impregnate his wife, and Barton, who was younger than Pershing, must be no problem.

Recently, Yiyu has been thinking about how to make Barton accept herself. The four new princesses pushed back on Maier's "success story", which made her think that it would be a good idea to forcibly cook raw rice to mature rice. Yiyu felt that she had a good amount of alcohol and should be able to get drunk with Barton. But Barton couldn't go out drinking with her, a little girl, and had to find someone to cooperate.

When Tal returned, the candidate was naturally available. But Tal is an upright person, and he will definitely not cooperate with Yiyu's actions. So Yiyu tested the amount of Tar's alcohol in advance, and she found that Tal's alcohol consumption was very average, and with her strength, it was not difficult to bring down Tal.

Yi Yu is going to pour Tal and Barton together, and then cook the rice with Barton's raw rice. As a Tairong woman, Yiyu has abandoned her reserve. She stubbornly believes that the result is more important than the process, and that as long as she can be with Barton, she can escape the shackles of fate.
