The general of the defenders of Baoding City is also the original Qing army, after learning that the Taiyuan army that came to help actually returned to Taiyuan directly, several generals discussed together, and unanimously decided not to do useless struggle, and opened the city gate to surrender to Ye Shaolong.

Without firing a single cannon or an arrow, Ye Shaolong recaptured Baoding City, after learning that Taiyuan City was occupied by foreigners. Ye Shaolong will not give up Baoding City now.

Even, he has decided to occupy the capital along with it, of course, provided that the little emperor has agreed to become the judge of Yejiabao. Only when the little emperor gave up his identity as emperor could Ye Shaolong occupy the capital.

Su Can and Tie Ta soon returned to Baoding City and met Ye Shaolong to report the whole story of the sneak attack.

Su Can's musket battalion was almost undamaged, but the cavalry battalion of the Iron Tower, in order to cover the retreat of Su Can's musket battalion, was finally attacked by the muskets of the foreign army, and suffered heavy casualties.

More than 200 horses were lost, and more than 300 soldiers of the Yejiabao cavalry battalion were killed and wounded. Most of them were wounded and killed during the retreat!

In this regard, Tie Ta blamed himself very much, and even repeatedly asked Ye Shaolong to send troops to pursue the Taiyuan army, and he was humiliated.

The tower was so unreasonable, Ye Shaolong naturally wouldn't take his opinion, and after a meal, he drove the tower out. Let him go to collect the original defenders of Baoding City, and by the way, count what supplies are in the city.

Su Can saw that the tower was complained by Ye Shaolong, for fear that he would be unhappy because of this, so he said to Ye Shaolong: "Dashuai, the tower is not at fault this time, and I hope you don't blame him." ”

Ye Shaolong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I didn't blame him, but let him calm down." At this time, the pursuit of the Taiyuan army was messing around. As a general in the army, how many soldiers under his command rely on him for their lives, but he doesn't care about the life and death of the soldiers, and he actually has such an impulsive thought. ”

In the final analysis, Ye Shaolong just hates that iron is not steel, and blames the iron tower for not having the appearance of a general. At this point, Su Can breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to make Tie Tower hold a grudge against him for this.

After dealing with the matter of the iron tower, Ye Shaolong mentioned the matter of recovering the capital. Su Can and Li Cheng were quite puzzled after hearing this, according to the current strength of Yejiabao, it was a little reluctant to garrison Baoding City, but in such a situation, Ye Shaolong still had to recover the capital?

Su Can frowned and said, "Marshal, in this way, we are divided into three places, can we take care of it?" ”

"This capital is now a thorn in everyone's side, whoever goes is unlucky, the emperor has tried this before, does the marshal still want to repeat the mistakes of the past?"

Ye Shaolong waved his hand and said: "This time is not that time, the emperor used to return to the capital to restore the Qing Dynasty. But we are different, after we occupied the capital, the banner we played was still Yejiabao. That way, those red-eyed guys won't come to attack us at will. ”

Su Can frowned when he heard this, it was obvious that he also heard the meaning of Ye Shaolong's words. In other words, the emperor no longer recognizes himself as the emperor, and there will be no existence of the Great Qing Kingdom in the future, is this possible for the little emperor?

"Have you asked the emperor for his wishes?" Su Can was slightly surprised.

Ye Shaolong smiled and said nothing, and only after a long time did he hear him say: "I don't need to ask the emperor, I can make the decision, and I believe the emperor will not have an opinion." Okay, this matter will be settled for the time being, and after sorting out the affairs of Baoding City, inform Yejiabao to be ready at any time, and recruit the people who intend to return to the capital, and then they can enter the city with the army. ”

Ye Shaolong had already decided, so Su Can didn't say anything more, and after retiring, he went down to do things according to Ye Shaolong's instructions.

The tower turned back at this time, his face was no longer sulky, but full of smiles, and when he saw Ye Shaolong, he shouted: "Dashuai, we have made a fortune this time!" ”

Ye Shaolong seemed to have expected the tower to behave like this, he glanced at the tower, and chuckled: "Did you see those hundreds of war horses?" ”

Tie Ta was slightly stunned: "You know everything, handsome." ”

"Nonsense, I took Baoding City, I won't know."

Ye Shaolong paused for a moment, and then said: "Don't pay attention to these for the time being, let's talk about the integration and surrender of the army." ”

A smile appeared on Tie Tower's face again, licking his face and saying, "Dashuai, I'll discuss something with you." You see, in this sneak attack on the Taiyuan army, our cavalry battalion suffered heavy losses, and hundreds of the more than 1,000 troops were cavalry, do you think it can be ....... ”

Ye Shaolong hesitated, didn't embarrass the tower, nodded and said, "Okay, then it will be included in your cavalry battalion." But you have to be careful not to let the spies get mixed in! ”

Tie Ta was overjoyed, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Dashuai, I will definitely investigate their identities thoroughly." ”

"Well, put this aside in advance, we have been taking Baoding City for a long time, and I think Brother Li will be back soon. You take the cavalry battalion out of the city to greet you, and the Seventh Prince, who wants to come to Tianjin City, should not dare to fool us. ”

"I'll go out of town and have a look." The tower immediately resigned.

According to the benefits negotiated before, Tianjin City will send a lot of things this time, and there are a thousand war horses inside, which is what the tower is most concerned about.

The north gate was wide open, the iron tower and the cavalry battalion were dispatched, and more than 2,000 people lined up directly outside Baoding City, quietly waiting for Li Chengke's arrival.

Soon, I saw a convoy of horses at the end of the official road, and the banner of the Ye family fluttered in the wind. It was Li Chengke who came back from escorting supplies.

As soon as the tower saw the banner of the Ye family, he couldn't bear it anymore, and rode his horse directly to meet it. Seeing Li Chengke in front of the convoy from a distance, he laughed and greeted: "Brother Li, have you brought me a war horse?" ”

Li Chengke didn't hide it, turned around and pointed to the back of the convoy and said with a smile: "Isn't it just behind?" ”

"Thanks!"

The tower clenched his fists and thanked him, and immediately urged the horses to run to the rear, and sure enough, the rear of the convoy was full of war horses, which made the tower very happy.

Although the Taiyuan army lost 200 horses in this ambush, it gained 1,000 or more horses in the blink of an eye. Not only did they earn a lot more, but with some horses, the cavalry battalion could be expanded again, from the original 3,000 to more than 4,000.

Li Chengke's convoy was greeted by the cavalry battalion and soon entered Baoding City. Li Cheng didn't have any delay, he met Ye Shaolong as soon as possible and told him about the materials he had obtained.

In addition to the more than 1,000 war horses to be given to the tower, there is also a lot of money. The most important thing is a thousand muskets and matching ammunition, although a thousand loads of food is a little less, but it is a lot for the current Yejiabao.

However, Li Chengke also brought the words of the Seventh Prince, and heard that Baoding City was captured by Ye Shaolong again, so the Seventh Prince's mind moved again, wanting to return to Baoding City from Ye Shaolong's hands.
