100. Sudden bad news

What happened next was as expected, the Jurchen ranks were boiling! They roared and charged to the door! The momentum is amazing!

However, in the time they hesitated, the gate had been completely sealed!! Mangled corpses, broken weapons, broken stones, burning wood, almost built a wall in this small doorway!

The Jurchens inside charged outward, and they would first be stopped by this wall. It was almost impossible for the cavalry to climb over such a high obstacle, but it was even less likely that we would give them a chance to tear it down.

As a result, the new corpses were thickened and heightened, forming new obstacles, and with the cover of the flower trebuchet, the Jurchens had to retreat again!

Then there is the tug-of-war, which is not stressful for our side. We are well supplied, we can attack and retreat, and we have no knots in our hearts.

The Jurchens, on the other hand, faced a siege, an attack and death that could come at any moment. So after a day passed, the Jurchens in Mangzi Village began to become more and more manic!

I stood on the top of the hill and looked inside with binoculars, and they were arguing fiercely. This is really a joy to see. And Tanma also told me that the Atai Department of Gulzhai also did not surrender and was still trying their best to resist.

Hehe, I like your integrity! It's better that you never leave, just shed your last drop of blood here!

I thought to myself, and gave the order, but let the soldiers be divided into three teams, do nothing else, and beat the drum every half an hour in the middle of the night. I'm going to make it impossible for the people in the village to rest for a minute, and let their spirits break down completely!

The other two teams withdrew from Wuli and rested and reorganized.

So, in the middle of the night, the Jurchens just wanted to rest for a while, when there was a sudden sound of drumming on the mountain, and some people shouted that horses neighed and guns rang out. So they immediately got up, took up arms and rushed out!

As a result, there was no result, and the yard and the village were empty. I wanted to take advantage of the night suddenly, but I was hit by a stone shot in the darkness and my head was bleeding!

A few smart people tried to swim over the wall, but they were caught in an urn by the ninjas waiting outside the moat......

Seeing that this road was impassable, they could only scold and go back to the house to continue to rest. But before long, the drums began to beat again! Some Jurchens say that the Nanren are just scaring people; But some people say, what if it's true?

So the drums sounded, and they got up again. By the seventh or eighth time, the Jurchens were visibly tired and there were far fewer people coming out, so I let the muskets shoot a volley at their stockade! A few more tiger squat cannons were pushed in, and they bombarded the courtyard wall!

The Jurchens are frying again! But after we finished the cannon, we continued to go back to rest, and when the time came, we would change the shift and the next group of people.

What do you think? Unhappy? Like it or not?

In this way, after a night of torment, the Jurchens in the stockade completely collapsed! They stood on the walls of the stockade and shouted at us, I understood, they were asking for a duel like warriors!

I admired this courage, so I let the scattered flower trebuchet strike at the range of the stockade for a long time!

There were no more challengers, and they were completely beaten back into the fortifications, cowering and waiting for a turnaround.

It's good, I like the wisdom. So, let the archers catch rockets and shoot indiscriminately at the buildings inside the stockade!

I love watching you amateur firefighters put on a show!

Due to its location in the Khing'an Mountains, most of the buildings in the village are made of wood. After we hit such a fire arrow, the poor worms inside found that their speed of drawing water could not keep up with the speed of our shooting!

Despair began to creep in. Some of the fierce ones chose to kill themselves, but they bleed, and their blood pooled into a stream, which frightened the less fierce companions.

The quarrel is even worse! Finally, when the news came from Li Chengliang's side that Atai had been annihilated and the rest of the troops were separated from the battle, the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates in Mangzizhai finally agreed to my friendly proposal and began to surrender into the system.

As for Ahaibu, I don't want to see them, and I don't want to have any communication with them, I just let people guard the door, solve one by myself according to the standards I said, come out of one, and then walk slowly, don't wait for us to send it!

Some of the guys who tried to get away with it were killed on the spot. In front of the sharp spurs, they couldn't run far, and they couldn't outrun the speed of the arrows. The remaining four or five thousand people lined up to accept the self-transformation from complete people to wasted people.

I'm just going to let these people go back and make them useless people who can't do labor and can't fight! It's to get them to go back and consume food! It is to make them scars that the Jurchens remember when they see them!

For me, any fame is a floating cloud. I know my own affairs, and the time when I leave the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be too far away......

A camp was set up on the hill where Li Chengliang met, and the soldiers were in high spirits after winning a big victory.

The baggage battalion carried enough supplies, so today we released the rations of the fighters and also provided everyone with a bottle of wine. This brought a lot of laughter and laughter to the camp, and also affected my mood to develop in a good direction.

I sat in the big tent with Li Chengliang and others, Li Chengliang laughed, picked up a glass of wine, and toasted to me: "Qilan, this time to break the enemy, you have made great contributions, presumably after you go back, you will be crowned a marquis, no problem!" The old man respects you first here! I wish you all the best for the future! When the time comes, don't forget the old brother! ”

I picked up my glass and smiled, "Where, where!" The subordinate is just doing his duty, and the main battle is still General Li! Presumably, after this battle, General Li will inevitably become more prestigious, and he is really a pillar of the imperial court! Northeast Pillar! ”

And just like that, the two of us started touting each other. This is also normal, for Li Chengliang, whether he is guarding and stealing, whether he is tired, he knows best, he is also afraid that the quarrel will be too fierce and cause other incidents, so he borrowed me to attract firepower.

And I don't want to wade into this troubled water at all, I just want to come and go clean.

For a while, in the big tent, you pushed me to let me, you were humble and respectful, but I was so happy that I watched the lively people.

I drank a meal until midnight, and when I said goodbye to Li Chengliang and returned to my camp, several cronies were waiting for me. The unrepentant who went to deliver the letter to Qi Dudu also came back, standing in the middle of the big tent in a daze.

I didn't think the atmosphere was right, so I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

He opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, and after a while, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to me.

I vaguely felt that something was wrong in my heart, so I took the letter and unfolded it, except for the head of the table and the payment, a total of six words: "Shoufu is critically ill!" Hurry back! ”

Although I had been mentally prepared for it early on, I was still shocked when I read this letter!

It's hard to describe what kind of feeling it is, it seems to be an interweaving of all kinds of negative emotions, and the only thing that can be considered a positive emotion is probably a slight relief.

But soon, my heart was overrun by a pervasive sore spot!

Why! I had already reminded him! He's already paying attention to his body, why is this still happening? It is almost the same as the real time of death in history......

Is it really a lot of hard work?

Is his layout complete? Is the successor selected? Has Zhang Siwei's power been suppressed? Has the little emperor's job been done?

One question after another, in my heart!

Why now? Even if I am given another year, I will plant more poisonous seeds among the Jurchens, so that they can take root, sprout, blossom, and bear fruit!

Why now! Why does it have to be now?

A silent cry sounded in my heart, and finally I decided, rush back!

So, I turned around under the gaze of everyone and returned to Li Chengliang's big tent.

Li Chengliang was talking to a few sons and subordinates, and when he saw me coming again, for some reason, he got up and asked with a smile: "Qilan's return, presumably it must be up to me!" ”

I nodded, squeezed out a smile and said: "I just received a letter from home, saying that my family is critically ill, Qilan thinks, now that the war is over, I want to return to report first, so I have come to resign to General Li!" ”

Li Chengliang's face changed and said: "There is such a thing!" Qilan can go without worry! There is an old man here to clean up and take care of it, and there will be no problem! ”

I said in a deep voice, "Thank you so much! Take care! Qilan farewell! "With that, he gave up.

returned to his big tent, called Liu Jianchun, and said it like this, and asked him to lead the team back. Liu Jianchun responded, and I took my cronies and others, plus a ninja team and musket riders, and rushed to Beijing overnight.

On the way, I secretly thought that it would not necessarily be a good choice to rush back like this, so I ordered to rush to Jizhou and go to see Qi Dudu first.

Along the way, day and night, the horses were directly exchanged in the post station, and after a few days, they finally arrived in Jizhou. I didn't care about resting, so I went straight to the courtyard of the Qi Dudu.

It's summer now, but for some reason, I feel cold and soaked in the back, until I see Qi Dudu, who also has a bad complexion, in the front hall, I know that I am far from the only one who has this bad feeling.

Seeing me come back so quickly, Qi Dudu was very pleased. I was even more touched when I came to see him first.

We are not polite, and we are seated in the hosts. Qi Dudu stood up and closed the door, leaving him and me alone.

Suppressing the sadness in my heart, I asked in as calm a tone as possible, "Governor, how is the current situation?"

Qi Dudu said with a heavy face: "It's not good!"

I let out a long exhale, and then asked, "What's going on in the court?"

Qi Dudu glanced at me, lowered his voice and said, "The wind is surging, and the dark tide is rising!"

I was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Shousuke...... My second uncle ...... him"

Qi Dudu stared at me, and said for a while: "If he doesn't leave, you have the credit for this time, and you must be on the rise!" Alas...... Pity! Pity! ”

I glared at me unhappily, looked at Qi Dudu, and said in a cold tone: "Dudu, you are a marquis, I don't want to, I hope Hai Bo is peaceful." But is Qilan the one who chases fame and fortune? ”

This is the only time I've spoken in such a tone since I met him for the first time, and it's very polite.

Qi Dudu didn't speak, just stared at me quietly, and I stared at him like that, and the air in the room seemed to be frozen.

Qi Dudu suddenly asked, "Is this the truth?"

I didn't want to answer, and snorted silently.

Qi Dudu looked at me a few more times, and suddenly laughed! That expression, like a March flower, is incomparably brilliant!

I'm scared! Finally...... What the hell is going on?
