The Qing army was defeated on the first day of siege, not only the defenders of the city cheered, but the news spread to the valley, and nearly 10,000 people cheered and thundered.

After these people came to the city, although they came to the city in different orders, they were all properly settled, with houses to live in and food to eat. Moreover, Lord Jiang Chuanjiang also announced in public that he would divide the land among everyone in the future, and he would also be exempted from taxes for three years, which made the originally nervous people's hearts quickly settle down.

As a result, after hearing the news of the Qing army's large-scale attack, the people's hearts that had just settled down began to float again, and the Baixin people privately discussed all kinds of rumors, and rumors kept spreading, and the people were panicked.

Some of these people have personally experienced the scourge of the Qing soldiers, and although some have not seen the cruelty of the Qing soldiers with their own eyes, they have all heard of it.

After hearing that the 30,000 troops of the Qing army were coming, everyone began to worry that the Jiang army would not be able to resist it, so that they themselves also suffered and were plagued by the Tartars. Therefore, some people are already secretly packing up their things and preparing to escape.

Fortunately, Jiang Chuan and Liu Ji were already prepared for this situation, and on the one hand, they sent people to appease the people and tell everyone that Lord Jiang would definitely break the Tartars. On the other hand, the monk battalion was sent to closely monitor and guard everywhere, and once it was discovered that rumors were spreading, those who confused people's minds would be arrested first.

Under these measures, although the commotion on the surface of the people has subsided a lot, they are still uneasy in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of the official attack of the Tartars, they were beaten by the Jiang family army and suffered heavy casualties, this good news made the people all breathe a sigh of relief, and the depression and panic in their hearts were suddenly swept away, many people showed smiles on their faces, greeted each other, and asked first: "The Tartars were beaten by Lord Jiang, and the corpses were piled up like a small mountain, do you know?" ”

When the person on the other side showed a stunned expression, the questioner began to interpret the hearsay situation of the big battle in his own way to the audience, and then looked at the look of amazement and excitement on the listener's face, smiled contentedly, and continued to move forward, and then performed it again to the next person.

Especially after the people who had gone up the city wall to carry materials came back, they became the center of the conversation, and a bunch of people surrounded them to ask questions.

These men, who have never enjoyed this kind of treatment on weekdays, blushed excitedly, clumsily talking about what they saw, and from time to time adding some body movements, Rao is so, which also attracted a sigh of admiration from the surrounding audience, making them feel a sense of accomplishment even more.

It can be said that although this small victory on the first day did not feel anything for Jiang Chuan, it was a timely rain for the people in the valley, a burst of heart booster, dispelling the haze in their hearts, making everyone regain their spirits and regain confidence in Master Jiang.

At this moment, everyone believed that the Qing army would definitely not be able to take advantage of it this time. So, in this case, all the rumors are self-defeating.

The people who jumped up and down to spread rumors before were also gray and caught their tails and didn't dare to speak anymore.

After Liu Ji heard the return, he just smiled faintly, and ordered those who spread rumors to be tied up in front of everyone, and each of them was punished with thirty lashes to set an example.

And make an announcement, and then if there is anyone who spreads the message again, the first offender will be sentenced to fifty lashes and sent to the back mountain to work as a coolie for half a year. If the circumstances are serious or repeat offenders, they will be beheaded, and then their families will be expelled from the valley.

Victory was ahead, and after such a warning measure, everyone had a sense of proportion in their hearts and began to restrain their words and deeds. And the people began to condemn the rumor-mongers.

After these means, the people's hearts have settled down, and Jiang Chuan can resist the Qing army with all his strength without worries.

After Liu Ji sent someone to report these things to Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan greatly agreed, and only said: "All civil affairs are subject to the arrangements of the military advisor, and I can be informed afterwards." ”

Liu Ji naturally knew that Jiang Chuan was trustworthy, but he had always been careful and still reported to the public, and he would never make trespassing.

Jiang Chuan also knew Liu Ji's style, and he also let it go, and trusted him even more.

The soldiers in front of them are on hand to defend against the enemy, and Bai Jinxiu took the little maid Xiaowen to mobilize women to cook military rations and meals for the soldiers, and also sent some people to take care of the wounded, which was also very busy.

For Bai Jinxiu, although she is also a master of art, she has killed people, seen blood, and her courage is much greater than that of ordinary women, which can be regarded as courageous and knowledgeable.

But after all, it was the first time to experience this kind of war between the two armies, and although there was some nervousness, it was more exciting.

So when she came to ask that she also go to the city to kill the enemy, Jiang Chuan didn't agree for a while, and after a few words, he coaxed her away on the grounds that he didn't want to see her get hurt.

Bai Jinxiu was unhappy at first when she saw Jiang Chuan disagree, but then she softened her tone and left with a red face without knowing why.

When he saw her busy with a group of women, Jiang Chuan was also very relieved, and felt that the female tyrannosaurus in his heart didn't seem to be so difficult to get along with.

After a night of repair, after breakfast the next day, the Qing army attacked again.

This time, it was the blue flag in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty that was responsible for the siege, and the owner of the blue flag was also the general army of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered from the Ming Dynasty.

Shang Kexi was originally a leader of the green forest, cunning and brave, but later became a Ming army because of Zhao'an, and was promoted all the way to the general army, and then was transferred from Shandong to the northern front. As a result, when the Qing army attacked Gaizhou, he was defeated and captured, and then he didn't hesitate to surrender to the Qing.

In order to show that he treated everyone equally, Huang Taiji also let him lead a banner of men and horses, and formed the blue flag of the Han army flag with his original subordinates as the backbone.

This time, one of the two Han army banners that followed Duoduo on the expedition was Kong Youde's person, and the other was him.

Seeing that Duoduo asked him to attack the city, Shang Kexi scolded in his heart. Yesterday, Kong Youde's department hit his head under the city and bled out, and his corpses piled up into a mountain, and he was still a little gloating. Unexpectedly, today's unlucky errand was his turn.

Although Duoduo didn't look down on the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and didn't care about their casualties, he was not a brainless person, and he knew that he couldn't weaken the strength of Kong Youde's department too much, otherwise he would not be able to deal with Huang Taiji's side, so he let Shang Kexi's department attack the city today.

Although Shang Kexi was full of slander in his heart, he did not have the courage to disobey the military order, so he had to drive his subordinates to start attacking the city.

These soldiers also witnessed the tragic situation of Kong Youde's troops yesterday, and when they attacked the city, they were naturally slow, frightened, and hesitant.

As a result, as soon as the city counterattacked, these soldiers began to retreat again, running much faster than attacking.

Duoduo was also strange and did not punish the crime, but let Shang Kexi continue to command the troops to attack the city.

After going back and forth several times, Shang Kexi's troops did not make any progress except for throwing hundreds of corpses on the city.

The frightened Shang Kexi did not usher in Duoduo's anger, Duoduo just ordered the troops to return to the camp and bury the pot to cook, but it seemed that he had completely forgotten the embarrassed performance of Shang Kexi's cowardice.

This made Shang Kexi even more uneasy, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Duoduo's gourd.

And Jiang Chuan, who also can't understand Duoduo's approach.
