Jia Ke and Fan Kang walked into the city with the generals, and when they entered the city, they saw that the people on both sides of the road welcomed him, and when they saw Jia Ke come in, they all cheered in unison.

Jia Ke kept arching his hands to both sides of the road, and kept saying in his mouth, thank you for the support of her fathers and fellow villagers! Only then did he defeat the Tatars several times. Indeed, every time people are interrupted to invade, the people of Kaiping Town have contributed money and efforts, and almost every household has produced strong men, and when Jia Ke did not come, almost every family brought filial piety after every war. Therefore, in the past two years since Jia Ke came, Kaiping Town has not lost much population, and ordinary people have almost no losses, so the people are grateful to Jia Ke.

It was not a long road, and it took Jia Ke nearly an hour to reach the garrison mansion. Back in the garrison mansion, Jia Ke sat in the lobby, the generals were lined up on both sides, Jia Ke looked down, and saw these people one by one with their chests stacked on their stomachs, like roosters who had won a fight. Jia Ke did not have any dissatisfaction with them, if they didn't move forward bravely, Jia Ke would not be able to defeat the Tatars, no matter how powerful they were, so they had the capital to be proud.

Next, Jia Ke ordered Chen Xi to report the results of this battle, but Jia Ke was most concerned about the matter.

As soon as Chen Xi heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said to Jia Ke: "Lord Qiqi, in this battle, our army has beheaded more than 3,200 Tatars, captured more than 3,000 war horses, and captured more than 800 people. There are countless other knives and guns. But we ourselves lost more than 500 people. ”

When the generals below heard this, they exploded with a bang, and they were all elated. Don't blame them, it's their biggest win ever. Last year, it was claimed to defeat the Tatar Great Khan, but in fact it was only a defensive advantage, but this time it really defeated the Tatars in the field battle, and achieved such great results.

Jia Ke calmly instructed below: "Behead all the Tatars who died in the battle, and build a Jingguan, the location is next to the last Jingguan." ”

The generals had no problem hearing him say this, after all, he had already done it once, and it was so shocking to the Tatars, only they Kaiping Town could do it, so it was not an honor.

Seeing that there was no opinion below, Jia Ke said the second point: "All the captured Tatars have been reduced to slaves, Chen Xi, you can recruit some more people to take care of these slaves and let them shepherd sheep for me." "Jia Ke is now using his power for personal gain, and he has added hundreds of slaves to himself with a single sentence.

Fan Kang greatly appreciated Jia Ke's benevolence, and he did not behead the Tatars as soon as he captured them, as other generals did, which shows his mercy.

However, Fan Kang completely misunderstood Jia Ke, Jia Ke was not in such a good mood and fed them in vain. Jia Ke is doing an experiment to see if he can tame these Tatars, if he can succeed, these people who were born on horseback will be a big help for him in the future, Jia Ke wants to make a Eight Banners system like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he will be directly led by him in the future, which is considered his private soldier, and he can also avoid the eyes and ears of the imperial court, as a way back for himself.

Jia Ke didn't mention the celebration in Kaiping Town, and the situation in Xuanfu Town was not good at this time.

Although Wang Tao has not been as brave as he used to be in recent years, and he has been war-weary, he has been a veteran of martial arts for many years, and he felt the danger when the Tatars successively conquered the obstacles under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu Town.

Last year, because Jia Ke was in front of him, he dragged the Dada people's khan in Kaiping Town, so although the relevant obstacles were lost, Xuanfu Town was as stable as Mount Tai.

This year, the Tatars bypassed the town of Kaiping and broke through from elsewhere on the Great Wall, passing through a place that was devastated and devastated, and met little resistance.

Although some generals resisted desperately, the soldiers below did not have the heart to fight hard, after all, they were almost overfed, who would give you a hard time? As a result, many generals were motivated to kill thieves and were powerless to return to heaven. It's just that they usually eat empty salaries. The main thing is to drink the blood of soldiers, which is to pull food out of the mouths of soldiers and strip clothes from soldiers. This has a great impact on morale, and when it comes to the critical moment, naturally no one gives them any effort.

When Wang Tao saw this situation, he knew that it was not good, and he no longer dared to separate and defend it, so he immediately gathered all the soldiers and horses in all the passes of Xuanfu Town to his own town. But by the time these people had arrived in Xuanfu Town. Wang Tao's heart was half cold, not to mention the defeat of the remnants, the number of people was less than half of the actual number, and they were like defeated roosters, and they had completely lost their fighting spirit.

In this way, after removing the losses, there are only more than 20,000 people in Xuanfu Town. This made Wang Tao so angry that he almost vomited blood, so he had to ignore 3721 and behead all these generals.

Fortunately, he was stopped by Gao Hong, who was next to him, and Gao Hong said to Wang Tao: "If you kill all these people, sometimes there will be no one available in Xuanfu Town." And they can't find a general to replace them for a while, and even if they do, they may not be able to control the soldiers under their command, nor can they fully play the role of the soldiers under their command, so it is better to let them make meritorious contributions. ”

In fact, what Gao Hong was most afraid of was that if these people were forced to rush and mutiny together at that time, Xuanfu Town would probably be finished before the Tatars attacked him.

Wang Tao was also angry just now, but now that he came back to his senses, he also knew that he had been reckless just now. So he got off the donkey and reprimanded the generals severely. Let them be guilty and meritorious in defending the city.

So these generals restrained their troops in fear, and told Wang Tao that they would go all out in the next defense of the city, and they would not let Xuanfu Town be lost. Wang Tao saw that they had recovered some of their morale, so he was relieved.

Next, the military sacrifice wine Gao Hong once again said to Wang Tao, "Please open the door of the treasury and reward the three armies with the grain and grass inside, so as to improve the morale of the soldiers, otherwise I am afraid that the soldiers will not have the heart to fight at that time." No matter how much these generals restrain them, there is no way to do it. ”

Wang Tao was also shocked when he heard this, which made him suddenly think of the fact that he and these generals drank the blood of the soldiers, and if he didn't treat him at this time, I am afraid that there would really be no one to die for himself. So he followed Gao Hong's suggestion to open the door of the treasury of Xuanfu Town, and took out white rice and white flour to reward the three armies and boost morale. This boosted morale and was barely able to defend the city.

As soon as Wang Tao gathered his men and horses, Arslen Khan led a large team of men and horses to surround Xuanfu Town. When Wang Tao heard that the Tatars were besieging the city, he hurriedly put on his armor and went up to the city to watch.

Wang Tao looked out at the head of the city, only to see the fierce flags outside the city, the joint camp set up dozens of miles, countless soldiers and horses will Xuanfu Town to the point of flooding, these people are galloping under the city one by one, galloping back and forth. He kept shouting and cursing at the city.

Wang Tao was looking at the soldiers on the head of the city, all of them with earthy faces. has lost the will to fight, if they are allowed to appear, I am afraid that it will not be long before Xuanfu Town will be breached, this is still the three armies he has just rewarded, these people are barely standing on the head of the city, otherwise I don't know how many people can be on the head of the city?

At this time, Arslen Khan also brought the leaders of the family and the generals under his command. Lead 10,000 horses to battle under the city, and let Wang Tao go out of the city to fight him.

Wang Tao was already frightened at this time, he only dared to defend the city, where did he dare to fight? should ignore the scolding below.

Arslen Khan waited under the city for a long time, but did not see Wang Tao come out to fight. Knowing that he was already timid in his heart, he couldn't help but be complacent, and said to the surrounding generals: "The last time I met Jia Ke in Kaiping Town, I thought there were many fierce generals in the Southern Dynasty. Now it seems that among people like Jia Ke, there are only a handful of dragons and phoenixes in the Southern Dynasty. ”

The generals under the command of Arslen Khan were excited when they saw that the city was so cowardly, thinking that as long as they listened to the Great Khan's attack on Xuanfu Town, countless treasures and beauties that broke into Shanxi were waiting for them at that time.

Seeing this scene, Arslen Khan knew that his morale was available, and he felt that Xuanfu Town could go down with one drum, so he immediately ordered the siege of the city.

As soon as Arslen Khan gave an order, he saw the Tatars driving the people of the Central Plains to rush towards the city, and these people carried the ladders one by one, desperately rushing forward, and after a little hesitation, the Tatars behind them added swords and swords.

Wang Tao is also a veteran of the war, and when he saw this situation, he knew that he could not be soft-hearted. Immediately ordered the crossbowmen in the city to release the arrows, but the crossbowmen were a little hesitant at first, after all, the people under the city were their own people, and they would definitely suffer heavy casualties when they released their arrows.

But the officers at the head of the city, knowing that this was the most dangerous time, scolded sternly and told the crossbowmen to hurry up and release the arrows, and finally the crossbowmen had no choice but to start firing arrows, and for a time the arrows rained down the city, and the screams under the city were endless.

The people under the city have the heart to retreat, but the Tartar overseers, where can they retreat. Constantly slashing and slashing in the back, urging them forward.

At this time, the people's fear of the Tatars surpassed that of the officers and soldiers on the city wall, and at the urging of the Tatars, they began to set up ladders and attack the city.

Wang Tao had already prepared, when he recalled all the soldiers, he knew that siege warfare was inevitable, so he prepared a lot of rolling wood thunder stones, gold juice poison, now is the time to use it, so he ordered people to release arrows on the side, so as to throw rolling wood thunder stones downwards and splash gold juice.

The people who besieged the city were killed and wounded, and Arslen Khan could see clearly in the back, although these people were used to consume Xuanfu Town, but they were all good slaves brought back to the grassland. If you can consume less, it's some. So he ordered the cavalry to send arrows under the city to support.

Hearing the order of Arslen Khan, the cavalry swarmed up and galloped back and forth under the city, shooting arrows upwards as they galloped.

This time the city was heavily wounded, and Wang Tao also ordered the archers to keep firing arrows and shoot at the Tatars. But it has to be said that the shooting accuracy of the Tatars did surpass the crossbowmen of Xuanfu Town, and the crossbowmen at the head of Xuanfu Town began to suffer a large number of casualties.

This siege lasted until the evening. Although the Tatars did not capture Xuanfu Town, they caused great casualties to Xuanfu Town. And people's hearts fluctuate, and they are all sincerely afraid.

Some of the big families in the city have begun to force the women of their families to commit suicide so as not to be humiliated after the city is destroyed.

After Wang Tao commanded the battle at the head of the city for a day, he handed over the rest of the aftermath to his subordinates. He dragged his tired body back to the Jiedu Embassy. Now he regrets it very much, he shouldn't have eaten empty pay and drank the blood of the soldiers, so that the generals of Xuanfu Town were effective from the top to the bottom, which made the actual soldiers and horses in Xuanfu Town less than half of the number of people on the register, and it was too late to regret it now. To know that today, he would at least train an elite soldier in case of contingencies, but he has lived a lot of peaceful days over the years, and he has forgotten to be vigilant. Now I can only feel sorry for myself here.
