A group of Ming soldiers carefully hung down the city wall.

"Big brother, this is too dangerous, after a while, the Jin army will come back, and who of us will be able to escape." Isn't Bacheng going to explain here? "One of the little soldiers is shaking a little in his legs right now.

"The marshal said, as long as we quickly cut off our heads and go to the city, we will give each of us five taels of silver, and the marshal also said that this group of Jin troops will not dare to fight us again now."

"For those few taels of silver, I'll fight, big brother, let's hurry up, hurry up and complete the task, and hurry up to the city." As the little soldier spoke, his hands were not idle, and he began to cut the head of the golden army.

This group of Ming troops stayed under the city for a while, and found that the Jin army in the distance really did not make any other movements except to observe the movements, which also made the Ming army they cut off their heads under the city also became more bold and no longer so frightened.

Some of them were happy and even hummed a little song softly.

Yuan Chao estimated that this group of Jin troops would not make any other moves for a while, and they would also go down to the city to rest.

After a while, Zhou Weihang came.

"Owner, the statistics are out." There was irrepressible happiness in Zhou Weihang's voice.

"Oh? The battlefield under the city is almost cleaned? Yuan Chao was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed to recuperate, and when he heard Zhou Weihang's voice, he also opened his eyes and asked.

"Well, it's almost cleaned."

"After this battle, we have harvested more than 5,000 thief heads."

"Owner, it's a great achievement, let's fight two battles, and it really cost them a flag."

"Also, the owner, this time we also captured more than 300 gold troops alive on the city wall. That's a rare thing. Zhou Weihang said happily.

"Oh. There are more than 300 live captives. This is great, when the time comes, I will dedicate it to the emperor, I guess this is the best gift, and we must let them all live. It's interesting to be alive. When Yuan Chao heard that there were still living prisoners, he immediately thought about what to do with them.

"Yes." Zhou Weihang also hurriedly said yes when he heard what Yuan Chao said.

"Still,"

"But our casualties are not small this time." Zhou Weihang put away the happy appearance just now, and it became a little heavy.

"Well, tell me, how many of our brethren have been lost?" Yuan Chao also took a deep breath and prepared mentally.

"This time, the results are counted, and the biggest casualties came from the bird guns, because the thieves relied on shields to suppress the bows and arrows on the city walls, resulting in more than 400 bird guns being hit by arrows."

"More than four hundred? Hey, it's not a small number, it's a tenth. "The current medical conditions are so poor that many people are expected to die.

"Order, let the doctors of the whole city do their best to treat it, at any cost." Yuan Chao said firmly.

"Yes." Zhou Weihang also said calmly.

"What about other losses?" Yuan Chao then asked.

"The losses of the archers of Wang Pu are also relatively large, and we have some casualties during the white-knuckle battle in Shangcheng, but there are less than a hundred people." Zhou Weihang said that he had finished reporting their casualties this time.

"The total casualties are only about 500 people, but 5,000 thieves were killed." Yuan Chao muttered to himself.

"Well, it's already good, with our strong city, it can be said that this battle was fought beautifully." Yuan Chao also thought of this battle loss ratio, and he was also a lot more relieved.

When Yuan Chao was talking to Zhou Weihang, Yuan Xu came in in a hurry.

"Owner." Yuan Xu saluted.

"Huh? Is the Jin army going to attack the city again? Yuan Chao also looked a little unexpected.

"Oh? No, no, no, I'm here to report to you, the Jin army under the city is very restrained, even if we cut the head below, they are also watching from afar, and they will definitely not enter the range of bird shooting. ”

"And just now I observed on the city wall, and found that the Jin army camp in the distance had some intention of packing up and leaving." Yuan Xu touched his head and said.

"Pack up and leave? Hahaha, it seems that this group of Jin Jun is really smart, knowing that we are hard bones, knowing that Datong City is thick and has enough food, they can only walk away. ”

"I thought they were all a bunch of people who didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, and they seemed to know how to turn the corner." Yuan Chao also laughed when he heard it.

"That's it, that's it, a group of brainless people, who have to find us trouble, chased all the way, and finally lost thousands of people. I really don't know what this group of Jin Jun thinks. Yuan Xu also echoed and said.

"By the way, if they retreat, do we want the cavalry to go out and cover for a while?" Yuan Xu inquired.

"No need. Let them go, if they are really pushed too quickly, our cavalry is estimated to suffer relatively large losses in the field. Yuan Chao also waved his hand, and he had to accept it when he saw it.

"Yes." When Yuan Xu heard Yuan Chao's opinion, he didn't say anything anymore, and immediately returned to the city wall to observe the enemy's situation.

Then Yuan Chao also waved his hand and asked Zhou Weihang to go back temporarily, while he stretched his waist and decided to go back to the room to rest.

The big picture has been decided, and both sides know it.

Huang Taiji is not an inkblot person, no matter how he says it now, he is going deep into the enemy territory, and he is also afraid that if there is still an elite Ming army, he will make dumplings, so what he is thinking about now is retreating.

"This time, everyone first attacked the Mongolian tribes, and then attacked the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a big gain, although we also have losses this time, but we can still recover."

"What do you think this time?" Huang Taiji convened a meeting, and it was obvious that it was to make people propose to retreat.

At this time, all the nobles are also talking to each other, waiting for people to come out.

Azig looked left and right, and simply stood up and sold his favor to Huang Taiji, so that Huang Taiji could raise his noble hand and bypass him and his brother Dorgon.

"Great Khan, our goal this time has basically been achieved, although there are losses, but when we return to the Guanwai, we will catch more Jurchens in the East China Sea and slowly replenish them." What Azig said was quite pleasant.

"Well, Azig is right, if you don't have any other opinions, everyone will go back to the camp, and after packing up our things, we will go home with the loot." Huang Taiji glanced at everyone.

There was no opinion. They all said yes.

So the entire Jin army battalion began to fully prepare for going back.

The Jin army had long been a little frightened because of the previous defeat, and when they heard that the Great Khan ordered a retreat, they didn't need much mobilization at all, and they packed up the southeast and west one by one, preparing to retreat.

So under the gaze of Yuan Xu and others on the city wall, the Jin army under the city quickly packed their bags, and the army retreated slowly, appearing cautious, for fear that the Ming army in the city would rush out of the city again to find trouble.

"The Jin army has withdrawn."

"We won."

"The owner has won." A sea of joy was formed on the entire city wall.

The sound of celebration wafted far away, allowing those golden soldiers to taste the bitter fruits of defeat. The military and civilians of Datong City fell into an unprecedented carnival.
