Thank you very much to boyhoods99 classmates, Zuo Zuo Zhou's tips!

At this time, all the generals in the city had already come, and when they saw Luo Xin coming up, they stepped forward one by one to give a salute, and Admiral Zhang said with a red face:
"My lord, under the continuous harassment of the grassland coalition last night, I'm afraid I didn't sleep well all night, and I shouldn't attack the city today, my lord's wisdom, I can't wait."
All the generals also spoke one after another, praising Luo Xin's wisdom and martial arts, Luo Xin smiled and waved his hand:
"Naturally, Huang Taiji will not attack the city today, what they have to do is to retreat, to retreat to a distance that crossbow arrows can't shoot, he is not stupid enough to be harassed every night."
"Hahaha......" The soldiers laughed again.
Luo Xin came to the city wall, looked towards the grassland camp, and saw that the grassland cavalry had already gotten up at this time, and was sorting out the luggage, grain and grass, etc., Luo Xin was playful, and said to the surrounding generals:
"Everyone shout along with me!" Then he mustered up all his strength and shouted, "Retreat!" ”
"Retreat!" The surrounding soldiers shouted together.
"Retreat!" The unknown soldiers in the distance saw Luo Xin shouting, so they also shouted.
"Retreat!" More and more Ming soldiers shouted, and later, almost all the Ming soldiers were shouting a word.
"Retreat!"
This voice alarmed the people in the capital, and also let Emperor Jiajing in the palace hear it. Emperor Jiajing immediately shouted:
"Detective!"
Immediately someone hurried away.
"Retreat!"
The soldiers in the capital were still shouting neatly and rhythmically, and in the grassland camp outside the city walls, Huang Taiji and the tribal leaders had very ugly faces. They didn't want to retreat in their hearts, but they couldn't help but retreat, Huang Taiji shook his whip fiercely and shouted:
"Retreat! Retreat to camp outside the Land of Three Arrows! ”
"Retreat!"
There was another shout from the city wall, and with this shout, the steppe coalition army began to pull out the camp and retreat.
"Hahaha......"
There was the unbridled laughter of the Ming army at the head of the city, and in this laughter, the morale of the grassland coalition army quickly declined.
"In ancient times, Zhang Yide drank the retreat of the Cao army, and now there is Lord Luo who retreats from the grassland coalition army, and the lord is mighty." Admiral Yu immediately slapped his ass.
"Your Excellency is mighty!" The generals also patted their ass.
A eunuch ran into the imperial study, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Luo broke off his drink at the head ......of the city and retreated the grassland coalition army. ”
"Huh?" Emperor Jiajing blinked, and said with suspicion on his face: "Tell me more details." ”
"The slave hasn't checked it out yet, but she just knows that Lord Luo shouted the word 'retreat' at the head of the city, and the grassland coalition army retreated. Detailed news will come back in a moment. ”
As he said this, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door, and a eunuch hurried in again, kneeling down in the tunnel:
"Your Majesty......"
When Emperor Jiajing listened to the report, his face showed a sudden look, and he waved his hand to let the two eunuchs go down, and at this time he already had a feeling in his heart, that is, with Luo Xin, the capital was worry-free.
But......
But his heart couldn't be happy.
Outside the city.
The Steppe Coalition Army has retreated to the Land of Three Arrows and begun to set up camp, and the morale of the entire Steppe Coalition Army is very low. In the first big tent of the Chinese army, Huang Taiji and the patriarchs of various tribes sat there, and everyone's faces were very solemn.
Before the war to attack the capital began, the grassland coalition army had already lost more than 30,000 soldiers, and forced the grassland coalition army to retreat again, delaying the siege time.
The most important thing is that the grain and grass they hurriedly grabbed was only enough for the 140,000 army to eat for ten days, but before they attacked the capital, they had already wasted a day.
Through the confrontation in the past few days, the grassland tribes have realized that the capital is not so easy to attack, and with Luo Xin's presence, the difficulty has directly increased several times.
Eight days ......
Can you take the capital in eight days?
If you can't capture the capital in eight days, what will be the result of waiting for the steppe coalition army, you will know it with your ass.
There was silence in the big tent for a long time, and Huang Taiji said: "We must be prepared to attack the capital for a long time, so we must also allocate a part of our troops to continue to grab food to the periphery." ”
All the patriarchs nodded one after another, and Turan said with anger on his face: "The Ming people are despicable, and they are all cowards. I don't think it will take us eight days at all, as long as we really start attacking the city, the Ming soldiers will be vulnerable. Huang Taiji, how about we start attacking the city tomorrow? ”
Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, tomorrow, you will lead the headquarters to attack the capital first." ”
"Good!" He Turan took a drink of his wine glass and said, "Brothers, Turan and I will definitely attack the capital tomorrow!" ”
Huang Taiji picked up his wine glass and said: "I wish you success, when the time comes, our grassland army will enter the capital and slaughter the city!" ”
"Slaughter the city!"
"Slaughter the city!"
"Slaughter the city!"
Everyone raised their glasses, shouted three times, and then drank them all.
Above the city.
Luo Xin looked at the busy appearance of the grassland coalition army outside the city, turned around and walked towards the city:
"Let's all rest, start tomorrow morning, and get ready for battle."
Everyone's hearts were tight, they glanced at each other, and with Luo Xin leaving, the air began to be filled with a tense atmosphere.
"Datong has arrived!"
A team of cavalry escorted a lot of grain, grass and ordnance towards Datong, this team is Zhongjin Hatun's team, they deliberately fell behind before leaving the grassland camp, and the grassland coalition army at that time was enthusiastic to attack the capital, no one paid attention to their team of less than 2,000 people, even the people who noticed it only laughed at them a few words, so their team gradually fell behind, disconnected from the army, and finally turned around and left.
After leaving, they found a secret place, hid the grain, grass and ordnance, and left most of the soldiers behind, but a small number of people followed Zhong Jin Hatun and Lu Zhonglian far behind the grassland camp and saw the rout of the grassland coalition army. After that, they hurried all the way back, hurrying back towards the steppe with food, grass and ordnance.
At this time, Zhong Jin Hatun and these clansmen were deeply glad that they did not follow Huang Taiji to attack the capital, otherwise at this time, not to mention how many of their clansmen would die, even these grains, grasses and ordnance would also be lost, and they were busy for two months. Now that they have this grain and ordnance, their strength has increased greatly, and at this time the grasslands are empty, they can easily attack the various tribes and take them for themselves.
Lu Zhonglian glanced at the dilapidated Datong, and shouted with a gloomy face: "Don't stop, go to the Yinlong River immediately." ”
