When Haoge arrived with his men and horses, Li Dingguo had already withdrawn to the city, the entire Hanzhou city was full of corpses, the smoke of gunpowder after the artillery explosion was still wafting, and the blood had stained the ground under his feet, which was very tragic, Haoge looked at this scene, and his heart was also heartbroken, although it was not the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners, but it was also the army of the Qing Dynasty, and this day's fighting had lost no less than 3,000 people.

"Where's Kong Youde?" Haoge glanced at it for a long time, but did not find Kong Youde's figure, and asked with a roar at the moment.

"Lord Wang, our general has been killed in battle, and his body has been snatched away by the Ming army." Kong Youde's deputy Chen Youde also came to Haoge's side with a crying face.

"Damn!" Haoge clenched his fists, Kong Youde was a rare loyal and upright person among the Han generals of the Qing Dynasty, but he didn't expect to die here this time, which made him deeply regretful and angry.

Ao Bai next to him also stepped forward to persuade him: "Master, it's dark now, it's not appropriate to fight again, let's go back to the camp first, it's not too late to fight tomorrow." ”

"If we can't take Hanzhou City today, their fighting spirit will be even stronger, and we will decline, one drum, and then decline, and three and exhaustion, we don't have many opportunities, let's just retreat first, and order people to prepare to collect the corpses and fight again tomorrow!"

Both warring sides have unwritten rules, that is, after the war, they will send people to collect the corpses, and they are not allowed to carry weapons, which is a rule that has existed since ancient times, and it is also to respect the belligerents, so as not to cause diseases after holding each other for too long, especially the plague, once it is caused, no one can escape, so they will send soldiers to collect the corpses, and both sides will not attack.

In this battle, the Qing army lost nearly 4,000 men and horses, including more than 1,000 soldiers of the Manchu and Han Eight Banners, which can be described as a heavy loss, but Cao Bianjiao's side was not happy, and it also lost nearly 2,000 people.

"General, the reinforcements have arrived, the reinforcements have arrived......" Cao Bianjiao looked at the Qing soldiers who had retreated outside the city, and he was also relieved, the longer he persisted, the less sharp the other party became, and in the end it was the stage of stalemate, and he had an advantage.

"Where's the reinforcements?" Cao Bianjiao is also an accident, the nearby soldiers and horses all need a lot of time, they marched to Chengdu, until today, it has only been six days, that is to say, it has only been six days since his troop transfer order was issued, how could someone come so quickly, unless the other party already knew, Cao Bianjiao was also vigilant at the moment.

"Be prepared in case of fraud!" Cao Bianjiao also ordered to go down at the moment, and then went to check it himself.

When Cao Bianjiao came to the south gate, Cao Bianjiao saw that a group of more than 2,000 soldiers and horses were already waiting there, not wearing the uniform of the Ming army, and he was also above the city pass and asked: "I am the general Cao Bianjiao, who is coming, report the name!" ”

"The general, the last general is Yang Jing, the son of the general Yang Zhan, the magistrate of Jiading Mansion, who was ordered by the general to lead the township soldiers and warriors to help the battle!"

Yang Zhan, Cao Bianjiao naturally knows, Wu Jinshi was born, and now he is under Qin Liangyu's account, and he also knows that he has a son, but he doesn't know the specific situation, and he no longer suspects anything at the moment, and orders someone to open the door.

Cao Bianjiao also went down to the city to see this Yang Jing.

"You are the governor of Jiading Mansion, and you are not in the army sequence, how did you get the news?" Cao Bianjiao also asked at the moment, the militia is under the jurisdiction of the commanders and envoys of various places, and they are responsible for the militia, and they are not controlled, although the affairs of the Ministry of War are also Cao Bianjiao's decisions, but Cao Bianjiao rarely pays attention to the affairs of the militia, and the military orders he issued are aimed at the standing town guards in various places, not the militia in various places.

"After the last general got the news, he knew that the general would recruit soldiers and horses from all over the country to go north to resist the Qing Dynasty, and after listening to the Jiading militia, they also hoped to serve the country and resist the Qing Dynasty together, so they asked to participate in the war, they knew that if something happened in Chengdu, Jiading would be difficult to preserve, rather than waiting for the war to spread to their hometown, it would be better to resist the Manchu Qing outside the Sichuan soil!"

"Good! Your father, General Yang Zhan, is a loyal and brave man, and your son is also good, so let them rest and rest first, and then there will be a war, and the battle will be very tragic, so let everyone be prepared to die! In addition to Cao Bianjiao's appreciation, he also told them a few words, they are all village soldiers, and if they have not been baptized with blood, they are not soldiers, and Cao Bianjiao does not count on them much.

Yang Jing's arrival is just a beginning, in the following days, there are constantly people from Yunnan and Sichuan to come to reinforce, more than four or five thousand, less seven or eight hundred, endlessly, Cao Bianjiao is also deeply surprised, I didn't expect such a situation, these things made him think of the history of the Sichuan army to resist Japan, millions of Sichuan troops, poorly equipped, was disliked by Chairman Jiang as called Huazi, but it is this group of people, for the sake of national righteousness and national peril, they have walked out of Sichuan and bravely resisted foreign humiliation, and he has no regrets, has money to contribute, and has no money to support the Anti-Japanese War, and has always been the type of person that Cao Bianjiao respects the most.

"The battle has been carried out to the fourth day, we have lost nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses, but reinforcements from all over the country have arrived, and now there are already 40,000 soldiers and horses in the inner city alone, and more than 20,000 people are still stationed in the southern city, and they are ready to go into battle to kill the enemy at any time, general, the people's hearts are available, and the army's hearts are available!"

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent to all things as dogs, but for us, can not be so, the official, not the people who rule the people, but the people who benefit the people, when Yao Shun, put a hundred officials for this, but with the passage of thousands of years, people who are familiar with the way of the sages are officials, once they have the authority in their hands, what courtesy, righteousness and shame have long been left behind, there is a sentence how to say: 'Three years of Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver', I implement the new policy, is to seek benefits with the people, although I know, even if I kill ten corrupt officials, it is difficult to warn people's hearts, say a bad word, if the scholar really does bad things, it is more shameful than those who are uneducated, fortunately, the implementation of the new policy in recent years has been quite smooth, so that the people have benefited, otherwise they would not be so supportive of the court. ”

"What the general said is very true, Li Zicheng was like this back then, because of the implementation of benevolent government, so that all the people in the world have been attached, but his people are ambitious and talented, and soon it will be difficult to hide his violent heart, and he will begin to kill on a large scale, otherwise the land of Shaanxi, the people are fierce, and they can get millions of soldiers, which can be used completely, but the people's hearts are gone, and he finally lost the entire Dashun, and finally lost himself and died."

Li Yan and Cao Bianjiao patrolled above the city pass, today the Qing army did not attack the city, Cao Bianjiao also seemed very relaxed, with the arrival of reinforcements, he was more confident to fight, and Qin Liangyu raided and took Tongchuan, which can threaten the Qing army's back road at any time, they want to attack the city unscrupulously, and they have to weigh it.
