The eastern sky gradually revealed a hint of fish's belly white, announcing the arrival of a new day.

On the arrow tower, Man Gui's eyes were bloodshot, and with the help of the brighter and brighter light, he observed the outside of the city.

The moat opposite the city gate had been filled in last night and was more than ten zhang wide. Man Gui understood that this area would be the focus of Jianyu's attack. The reason why I chose this place is also to break through from Desheng Gate.

On the frozen ground on the other side of the moat, there were shallow ditches ploughed by iron bullets, and on both sides of the ditches were blood-stained mud. Even if it wasn't near a shallow ditch, there were bright red blood stains everywhere, and the closer you got to the side of the moat, the denser it became.

It can be seen that last night's fire did not cause many casualties to Jianyu. However, Man Gui can use his life to guarantee that these blood stains are absolutely impossible to be on the Jurchen Tartars.

He looked at the camp in the distance, there was no movement at this time, most of the people should be resting on sleep, and the siege time was estimated to be in the afternoon.

Thinking so, Man Gui instructed several cronies to inspect the city on his behalf and inspect the city's defense equipment. He himself went to Li Fengxiang and told him his judgment, so that Li Fengxiang could go to the emperor. After all these things were done, he went to lie down for a while.

At this time, the gate of Shanhaiguan opened, and a group of Ming army cavalry scattered out, followed by countless foot soldiers, pushing all kinds of chariots, escorted by the cavalry on both sides, into a long snake, slowly going into the distance.

A group of generals surrounded an old man in a big red robe at the head of the city, silently watching the army go away, and there was no trace of relief on everyone's faces.

After a while, a general wearing armor clasped his hands into fists and said to the old man in a deep voice: "Pavilion Elder, the last general has taken his leave!" ”

Sun Chengzong retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Zu Dashou, and explained solemnly: "The Guanning army is the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and the one you brought out is the elite of the Guanning army. When you go to Changli, you must be cautious and not careless! ”

"The last general understands!" Zu Dashou clenched his fists and responded loudly, "The last general will never be strong!" ”

Sun Chengzong nodded after hearing this and said, "If you can defeat the enemy of Changli and relieve the siege of Changli, it will be the best." Your Majesty will be happy when you hear the good news, and this is a good opportunity for you to make meritorious contributions! ”

Zu Dashou agreed again, and seeing that Sun Chengzong didn't explain anything, he hugged his fists again, and then strode down the city.

Near the city gate cave, another group of generals were waiting for him, and when they saw him passing, they hugged their fists and said: "Dashuai!" ”

Zu Dashou didn't respond, and after approaching quickly, he took the war horse from the hands of the guards and jumped up, and then ordered condescendingly: "Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong?" ”

"The last general!" The two generals came out in response, and looked up at the big handsome with their fists clenched.

Zu Dashou looked at them with a cold face and said: "You two lead the people and horses of the headquarters to spread out for ten miles, for the eyes and ears of the army, there must be no mistake!" ”

"Yes!" After Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong responded loudly, they immediately turned around and got on their horses and galloped out.

Zu Dashou immediately nodded again: "Cao Wenzhao? ”

"The last general!" Cao Wenzhao immediately clenched his fists and replied loudly.

Zu Dashou still had a cold face, staring at Cao Wenzhao and ordered: "Order you to be the vanguard of the army, expel and kill Jianyu Tanma, and open the way for the army!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Cao Wenzhao clenched his fists and took the order, and then flew on the horse and galloped out.

It was only at this time that Zu Dashou's face eased a little, and he said to He Kegang, who was standing on the side: "Let's go!" ”

At the head of the city, Liu Xingzuo watched Zu Dashou lead the army away, and left a message to Hu Guang in his mind: "Your Majesty, Zu Dashou has led the army to leave Shanhaiguan and go to rescue Changli." ”

Hu Guang did not respond, obviously not there. At this time, Changli was already a war drum that shook the sky.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Groups of Jianyu cavalry galloped out of the camp, ran around the city, and from time to time galloped close to Changli City, croaking and recklessly. There were even some prisoners who often galloped close in the cold, shooting arrows at the head of the city with their bows and arrows.

Jianyu's foot soldiers pushed the carts, and Yuguan came out of the camp gate, and then swung open, and after a little counting, there were as many as a dozen. However, most of these cars are shoddy, just made of wooden planks.

At the gate of the camp, a group of Jianyu generals surrounded a young leader, and they were also looking at these chariots.

"Haha, if the Great Khan sees these chariots, I'm afraid he will punish Ben Baylor!" The young leader laughed.

A Jurchen Tartar heard this, and hurriedly responded: "Where does the master say, it is enough to deal with the small counties of Changli District!" ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Baylor is joking, with a car, he can already afford this small county of Changli!" A Mongolian leader said with a smile in half-baked Chinese.

Chinese is a lingua franca, whether it is a Mongolian Tatar or a Jurchen Tatar, as long as it is a high status, it is basically spoken.

When the other Mongol leaders heard this, they also chimed in. They understand that only if the sycophants are done well and Azig is happy, the benefits will be more when Changli is defeated for a while.

Just when they were very happy, suddenly Azig seemed to change his face, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and anger swelled up, and he shouted loudly: "If you can't beat Changli today, Ben Bel will want your head!" ”

In this frenzy, the surrounding Tartar leaders suddenly shut up.

Azig pointed at these people in front of him with his horsewhip and continued to roar: "Little Changli, if you can't beat it after fighting for so long, a few big Baylors will definitely not be happy. Before, you could use yesterday's Ming army as an excuse, but if you can't beat it today, don't blame Ben Baylor for being polite! ”

His words were very clear, such a small Changli City could not be defeated, and several big Baylors must have been dissatisfied. Today, I am afraid that the limit of tolerance has been reached, if it can't be fought again, Azig will be blamed, and they will not have a good time.

Thinking about Azig's violent temper, these Tartar leaders couldn't help but be afraid in their hearts, and turned their minds to think that they must fight Changli with their hearts today.

At the head of the city, Zuo Yingxuan looked at the direction of the camp from afar, and when he saw those chariots, especially when he saw hundreds of ladders, he couldn't help but look grim. Today's battle will indeed be tragic!

However, when he turned his head to see the people at the head of the city, all of whom had already put on the earthen armor, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Li Shiqi?" Zuo Yingxuan shouted.

When a middle-aged man who was observing Jianyu heard it, he immediately turned around and hugged his fists and said, "The grass people are here!" ”

"This official sees that Jianyu is fierce today, and when the battle starts, the flowering bullet will be used in key places, understand?" Zuo Yingxuan commanded solemnly.

Li Shiqi nodded, nodded vigorously and said: "The grass people understand, please rest assured!" ”

Zuo Yingxuan nodded, this is also something that can't be helped. Since I learned about the production method of the flowering bomb yesterday, I haven't been rushing to work much every day. What's more, there are not many gunpowder raw materials in Changli City, so they can only be used sparingly.
