A completely defeated lonely traverser, or someone who fell into his own hands, of course, is not too worried. But if there is another dimensional passage, this is probably a big deal. Judging from the overall level of this army, although the combat awareness is not very good, it is certain that the plane that is generally equipped with plate armor and flintlock pistols is definitely superior to its own in terms of farming progress. If an army of this level of more than 100,000 people emerges out of nowhere, then there is a chance that at least the East Asian part of this plane will fall. If, like some other overheads, steam engines and rifled guns were to be produced in large numbers in ten or twenty years, there would undoubtedly be a great advantage for those planes that regarded ignoring execution as a natural gold finger.

"They don't look like my Ming army, but like the legendary Western army... A well-informed strategist in the army said.

"Since they have come to help in the war, the enemy's enemies are also friends, but after all, some of them are unknown, and I don't know what the real intentions of these Westerners' servant army are. The man was healed of his wounds and temporarily imprisoned in the camp. Try not to talk to this person, and try to avoid talking too much to this person, and then make a detailed interrogation after returning to Beijing... Xiao Xuan finally said.

In terms of the harvest of weapons such as armor and flintlock pistols, I don't know if it was because the sky or the great god of crossing did not want to let himself get too much unearned wealth, and most of the armor and muskets were damaged. Even the plate armor that seems to be expected to be repaired is only a thousand sets, and the most complete equipment is seven or eight hundred. Before the collapse of this team, it seems that there was also systematic damage to flintlock pistols and other artillery, with less than 500 flintlock pistols in use, and the condition of the artillery was not satisfactory, with only ten guns in use.

Of course, even if only a few squadrons can be fully armed, these relatively sophisticated munitions resources are not very important, but they are not a small amount of assets, and they are still meaningful in making up for the loss of many explosive weapons and combat effectiveness caused by this war.

The shortcomings of cavalry and cavalry archery were still evident at this moment: although the main force of Jianzhou was repulsed with heavy casualties and left many heads, even in this case, it was able to deter the surrounding areas with hundreds of cavalry, so that the army encountered many difficulties in obtaining the logistical support of the local armed forces in the Qingyuan county or Baoding Prefecture. And no one can guarantee that the main force of the Jianzhou Army, which suffered heavy casualties, will not take risks again, especially if the Guanning Army in the north and the Qin Wang Army in various places cannot effectively contain even the 10,000 main forces of Jianzhou.

After that, the situation was much better than Xiao Xuan expected, and only a few days later, the hundreds of Jianzhou rangers who remained near Xiao Xuan's main force finally withdrew. The Jianzhou army, which had suffered at least tens of thousands of casualties and losses, no longer had enough morale and even logistical space, as in history, to continue plundering the Central Plains. After all, thousands of wounded are not a small burden for even more than 30,000 cavalry people, and in this case, the northward march of the army will be much smoother. About five days after the Battle of Qingyuan Nanyuan, the team approached the Jingshi.

At this time, the news of the defeat of the main force of the forbidden brigade led by Xiao Xuan in the siege of the Jianzhou army of 20,000 or 30,000 people in Qingyuan has spread to the military headquarters and even the capital. It's just that this kind of news is a bit unbelievable to many people.

Many people who know the border affairs understand that perhaps in terms of combat effectiveness, the general level of those strong enemies outside the pass is not much higher than that of many elite Ming troops, but the casualty bearing and the resoluteness and durability of the battle in the offensive are very rare in the history of the past and the present. If there is more than twice the advantage of the army, unless the defenders rely on the fortifications that have been built long ago or something like a city. When the army met in the field battle, it was still the wilderness of Pingchuan, and it was no luck.

Of course, some people feel that the forbidden brigade with the extraordinary performance of this new emperor may not be without the possibility of repelling the Jianzhou army in the field, but it will inevitably pay the price of exhaustion of the elite backbone and more than half of the casualties.

However, the people who watched from the north gate found that the team led by Xiao Xuan was almost fundamentally reduced compared to when he set off, and there was no general scarring and disheveled, and they all felt incredible.

"The army led by the saint has been besieged by the main force of the Jianzhou army in the south of Qingyuan County, Baoding Prefecture, even if it turns evil into good fortune, how can it be so clear-cut and neatly armored, and there is almost no attrition? This army must be a team from Jiannu pretending to be a remote city! Lord Yan has already explained, and when he encounters such a situation, he will deal with it! ”

"This... This really works... ”

"That's right! Listen to me! The team that came must be the main force of Jianzhou pretending to be... ”

Some people in the court did not have a high lower limit at all, and Xiao Xuan had expected it. However, at such a time, it was like a blatant rebellion to fire at the Son of Heaven Forbidden Brigade who had returned victoriously outside the Anding Gate, and it seemed that he was still planning to use fraud, but it was still beyond Xiao Xuan's expectations.

If it weren't for the little girl on the observation pole who noticed something strange with her telescope, coupled with Xiao Xuan's habit of being very vigilant, maybe she would have succeeded in making these people rebel when she had just returned from victory.

As for the reason why some people do this, Xiao Xuan is not difficult to understand: in the late stage of this dynasty when various interest groups have begun to control various interest spaces from top to bottom, a general emperor with a core elite is really like a sword on the head of many people, which is really unpopular. Of course, Xiao Xuan only sneered at this in his heart: this just gave him the opportunity to dig up floating wealth and dig up land wealth in Xiaoxing Prison. Since some people have no lower limit, there is no doubt that there is no need to talk about any lower limit as an emperor.

When the team led by Xiao Xuan approached Andingmen, it was roughly the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the tenth month of the old calendar, which was not far from the time of darkness. As soon as it was dark, the siege of the entire team began rapidly.

"Rest assured, everyone! These thieves are not well-armored Jiannu, so let's attack according to the siege regulations of Case C2! There's no need to talk nonsense about explaining anything to those people. Now we have to set up a rule: let many people in the capital understand: whose capital is the capital, and whether I need to greet certain people when I go in and out... ”

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the city of Beijing has never been breached, even in the battle after the Tumubao. However, Xiao Xuan has some confidence in this. The bastion was also a problem for European armies, but it was easily withdrawn from the stage of history due to the gradual progress of siege methods and the further development of grenadiers and combat engineers.
