In the end, none of the leaders looked good. Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, said to Wang Jiayin again: "No, if you continue to fight like this, you will hurt your vitality!" ”

"Yes, if you continue to fight, even if you take down this county, you will lose money." Breaking through the sky, Liu Guoneng immediately echoed Zhang Xianzhong this time and said.

When Wang Jiayin heard this, he turned his head to look at them, and said sharply: "What's the panic, just wait a little longer!" ”

This anger, relying on his status as the leader of the alliance and his prestige, made others dare not follow Zhang Xianzhong anymore, and the leaders were silent again.

Beside King Gao Yingxiang, a young man frowned, and suddenly whispered to him: "Uncle, this city has been defended for a long time without breaking it, and my nephew thinks that this must not be an accident." How can there be a reason to persist for so long! ”

Gao Yingxiang listened, turned his head to look at him, and asked his nephew with a little surprise: "Huang Lai'er, do you mean that the defenders in the city did it on purpose?" ”

Huang Lai'er is this person's small character, his real name is Li Hongji, and he changed his name to Li Zicheng from the queen of thieves. Seeing that his uncle asked, and was about to answer, a young man beside him said loudly: "I believe Uncle Li, the defenders in the city must have done it on purpose." ”

This person's name is Li Guo, he fights bravely, and is nicknamed a tiger. In the original history, he has been one of Li Zicheng's most important right-hand men. Later, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and Li Zicheng died, he led the army to cooperate with the Southern Ming Dynasty, and was awarded the title of Xingguo Gong, and the department was also named the loyal battalion, which was one of the most important forces in the late Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, he spoke loudly, which immediately made the other leaders look sideways. After a little thought, many leaders suddenly realized.

At this time, many leaders quit, and when they were about to speak, they heard Wang Jiayin say loudly: "The officials and soldiers in this city are very cunning, and they dare to show the enemy's weakness and lure us to attack the city. Come, pass on the order of the alliance leader, collect troops and besiege the city! ”

"......" Many leaders were speechless when they heard this. What did you do earlier, so many people died, and you only said this at this time, the brothers have died so much in vain!

Invisibly, Wang Jiayin's prestige has been weakened a lot. However, the performance of Li Zicheng and Li Guo impressed many leaders. However, at this time, they didn't have time to care about this, and they ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

At the head of the city, watching the thieves recede like a tide, Sun Chuanting's brows furrowed, and he didn't seem to be satisfied. But the head catcher beside him was relieved: "The thief has finally retreated!" ”

"Yes, the thieves died a lot, and finally they couldn't bear it!" The hundred households on the side responded, "But there are also a lot of dead and injured in our city!" ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he turned his head to look at him and said, "How can there be immortals in the war." We are defending the city, and if we look at how many thieves have been killed and wounded under the city, we will know whether it is worth it or not! ”

His voice was a little cold, and there was a little ruthlessness in his tone, but after he finished speaking, he groaned a little, and then instructed the hundred households: "Pass my words, let the county order take the lead, and let the big families in the city donate money for pensions, and our Sun family can't be less." In addition, those children who died in battle can go to my grandson's school to study together. ”

The Sun family can be said to be the largest family in Dai County, and the patriarch himself was once a member of the Wupin Langzhong of the imperial court, but he didn't want to be an official before he came back. As long as the Sun family does this, the other big families in the city will not dare to disobey. The things that Sun Chuanting explained can be put in place.

When the hundred households heard this, they hurriedly agreed. Even the head catcher on the side was happy and hurriedly rushed to convey the news.

It didn't take long for cheers to erupt in the city. Not only were the thieves repulsed, but the big families in the city contributed money and food, and they were able to arrange the aftermath, and the morale was immediately high.

On the contrary, the thieves outside the city took advantage of the excitement, but now they have little morale, and it can even be said that the morale is a little low. Many of the brothers who were still eating in a pot at noon had already been lying under the city wall and couldn't come back, in this case, if they could still talk and laugh, it would be really heartless.

Not only them, but also the morale of the leaders, was also affected. After the troops were collected, the alliance leader passed down the military order to hold a meeting, and the leaders dragged their feet, and after a long time after the time point, they slowly gathered.

Wang Jiayin naturally knew what was going on, and for this kind of despised him, he couldn't be as serious about military discipline as his own subordinates. If it's pressed, believe it or not, these camps will all disperse! After losing the battle, this person's heart is a little scattered, and the team is not easy to lead!

Thinking of this, he began to have a cold face, but instead showed a smile, and said loudly: "Today, we raided Dai County, and the Dai County officials and soldiers suffered heavy casualties. It can be said that we have achieved our set goal. Next, we besieged but did not attack, leaving the north gate and letting Dai County go north to urgently ask for help. In this way, when the general army of Datong, who was born as a merchant, hurried away, he showed the enemy weakness again, and he would definitely be able to defeat them! Brothers, when this battle is fought and we jump out of the encirclement, we will be at ease again! ”

Wang Jiayin's die-hard brother Wang Ziyong listened to it, although he felt that what the alliance leader's brother said was a little taken for granted, but he still echoed loudly: "Yes, the alliance leader's brother is right, after fighting this battle, we can be at ease again!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, he could see which leaders had an iron relationship with Wang Jiayin, and which leaders had an average relationship with Wang Jiayin. sparsely, echoing the sound one after another, and the momentum of the previous few days' meetings was completely incomparable.

This kind of response made Wang Jiayin feel very disappointed, so he didn't have much interest in talking about it. In fact, he also knew that it was useless for him to say anything more, these leaders were all treacherous and cunning people, and they could not be influenced by casual talk.

So, he turned his head to look at Ma Hui and replied: "As soon as the messenger sent by Dai County to ask for help set off, Brother Ma will follow behind to meet the headquarters of the Datong General Army, remember to defeat or not win, let him get carried away, be proud of his soldiers and horses, and introduce our ambush circle as soon as possible!" ”

Ma Hui listened back, and couldn't help but think in his heart, just relying on my way, I want to win, but did I win? However, on the surface, he still generously said that he would definitely be defeated but not victorious, and he would definitely be proud of his soldiers and horses and introduce the ambush circle as soon as possible.

After Wang Jiayin encouraged Shen Yiyuan again, he dismissed the meeting early and returned to his own camp.

In the early hours of the morning, when the thieves deliberately exposed their flaws, Daixian really sent a messenger to gallop north and ask for help.

Sun Chuanting breathed a sigh of relief after the messenger had safely passed the thief's defense. He lay on the Taishi's chair and quietly closed his eyes to recuperate, and even a family member came in to tell him that the county master came to ask for a meeting, saying that he wanted to hear about his next move, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and waved his hand to let the family refuse, just saying that everything has him, so that the county order can rest assured.

In fact, after the thieves began to attack the city, seeing that the number of thieves was so large, the pressure in his heart was not small. After all, this is only a county seat, and the city walls are not high enough. At this time, he had a rare leisure time to rest for a while, and he did not waste time.

But suddenly, if someone watched him carefully, they could see that he seemed to be shocked.
