Standing in front of the expeditionary force were three half-finished civil fortresses that had been hastily constructed, and it was Huang Taiji who heard that Li Xin had led a large army to kill, and after thinking twice, he ordered the soldiers to build them, in order to block Li Xin's army and buy him the last time.

Huang Taiji also wants to gamble, the labor expedition, consume countless money and food, and pay a lot of losses for the storming of the Hanyang royal city, if you can't break the city and loot, it will make the tribes dissatisfied, the situation is not good, you can slip away, there must be no problem to run, Li Xin's expeditionary force is all infantry, and they are all cavalry, they can run away at any time.

The three civil forts are roadblocks, and if you want to avoid them, you have to go around in a big circle, Li Xin didn't have this spare time, and immediately ordered the artillery to set up the Franc machine gun and bombard the first fortress.

The civil fortress could not be compared with the strong and sturdy city wall, not to mention the half-finished fortress built in a hurry, dozens of Franc machine guns bombarded indiscriminately, and the golden soldiers in the fortress were killed and wounded, and had to abandon the fortress and retreat.

In order to reduce the pressure on the fortress, they once launched an attack on the expeditionary force, but they were also bombarded by the intensive bullets of the expeditionary force and killed more than 300 horsemen, and they could only retreat in embarrassment.

The expeditionary force took the first fortress without much effort, and then pushed forward, and also used the Franc cannon to bombard the second fortress indiscriminately, killing and wounding more than 400 Jin soldiers, forcing the Jin soldiers to retreat in disarray.

"God won't help me, withdraw ......"

Huang Taiji looked up to the sky and sighed, scolded God for not helping, reluctantly and sadly gave the order to retreat, and led the exhausted soldiers to evacuate Hanyang City.

The various units of the expeditionary force were ordered to pursue, but they did not and did not dare to pursue too quickly, at least the troops could not be dispersed, so as not to be killed by the Jin army by taking advantage of the high mobility of the cavalry, and the fun would be great.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray......"

The defenders at the head of the city let out earth-shattering cheers, jumping and jumping with excitement, hugging and crying, the tragic defensive battle that lasted for more than a month, watching the companions around them die one after another, and the Jin army under the city still continued to launch wave after wave of crazy attacks, and the eight reinforcements were also defeated, so that many soldiers and civilians were afraid and desperate, and now, the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty have arrived, the Jin army has withdrawn, and their first feeling at the moment is that it is really good to be alive.

"What does it smell like?"

Li Xin led a group of men and horses to stay, when approaching the city, he frowned, raised his hand and pinched his nose, not only him, all the soldiers raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses in a panic, the smell wafting in the wind was like that, in short, it didn't smell good, it made people feel nauseous and want to vomit.

At this time, the city gate was wide open, and countless people poured out of the city, and what made Li Xin and the others feel strange was that everyone covered their faces with cloth towels, and after running across the moat, they lifted the cloth towels one by one, opened their mouths, and inhaled in large gulps, as if the air in the city was sucked out.

What's the situation?

Arrayed outside the city, the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force waiting to greet them were shocked by the strange scene in front of them, and their faces were full of confused expressions.

A group of soldiers was ordered to come forward to check, and the closer they got to the royal city, the stronger the smell became, and some of the soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, let out a burst of retching sounds, and retreated in a panic.

There have been a large number of people pouring out of the city gate that has been opened, all of them are soldiers, and later the officials of the Xian Empire, surrounded by Li Guoyu, the prince and the concubine, and all of them are cloth toils to cover their faces, just like everyone who went out of the city in front, they all lifted the cloth towels to gasp.

"The commander of the Ming Expeditionary Force [Official Li Xin has seen His Majesty the King."

Li Xin and the generals dismounted and saluted, after all, they were vassals of the Great Ming Dynasty, and the serious king named by the Son of Heaven was N level higher than them, and this face still had to be given.

Li Guozhu and the civil and military officials chattered a lot, jumping and laughing and full of cows, although they didn't understand, they should be able to guess the meaning of thanks.

Being too close to the lord of Li and the civil and military officials of the Xian Empire, Li Xin's cheeks couldn't help but twitch a few times, these guys also had that disgusting smell, and he had already guessed a certain possibility in his heart, until the soldiers quietly came to report, and then he understood the reason, no wonder the air was filled with the smell of poop, it seems that the defensive battle of Hanyang Wangcheng was quite tragic. But then again, isn't that what they want?

For the Ming Dynasty to relieve the siege in time, the Xian Empire still showed great enthusiasm, and Lord Li wanted to order the killing of chickens and sheep to express his gratitude, but what embarrassed him was that the royal city was besieged for more than a month, and he almost ran out of food, what to reward the expeditionary force? Besides, the entire royal city is filled with the fragrant smell of baba, so why don't you invite someone into the city?

Li Xin would not enter the city if he was killed, he ordered the soldiers to camp outside the city, Li Guozhu and the civil and military officials did not want to return to the city, and also ordered the soldiers and the people to set up camp next to the military camp of the expeditionary force, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to go to the nearby villages and market towns to loot for good food, and the soldiers on both sides held a lively and friendly bonfire party.

In order to express his gratitude, Li Guozhu still selected dozens of young and beautiful girls from the people as the labor corps and sent them to the camp of the expeditionary force.

The people of the Xian Empire carried out a large-scale cleanup inside and outside the royal city, until the taste of the poop in the city was removed, and then returned to the palace, Li Xin also led his subordinates to swagger into the city, and the counties of the Xian Empire transported grain, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and other things, and Lord Li held a grand celebration banquet in the palace.

During this period, the main force of the expeditionary force has been trailing behind the Jin army, the remnants of the eight remnants of the Xian Empire will come to meet one after another, the strength of the army reached 350,000 people, the emperor Taiji can not do anything, can only retreat while robbing, the place passed, the rural market town turned into ashes, caused a lot of losses to the Xian Empire, after nearly a month of retreat and pursuit, the Jin army withdrew from the border of the Xian Empire, and the expeditionary force returned to the royal city of Hanyang.

The triumphant return of the king division, of course, to be greeted solemnly, accompanied by the expeditionary force also came the Badaoqin Wang army, the army was stationed outside the city, the general entered the palace to face the saint, received commendations and rewards, and then led the army back to the original station.

Li Xin, as the commander of the Yuansheng Army, received invitations from the officials of the Xian Empire to drink flower wine every day, and the purpose of these officials of the Xian Empire was only one, the Ming Dynasty was a trench, could you sponsor a little guns and ammunition to help them arm the army to resist the invasion of the Jin Empire.

Although Li Guozhu and the civil and military officials did not witness the battle between the expeditionary force and the Jin army, the Yizhou officials had already explained in detail in the memora that the Ming army, which was equipped with a large number of muskets and artillery, beat the Jin army, which was known as invincible in the field, to the ground.

How powerful the Jin army is, they have seen it with their own eyes, the army of King Qin of Badaozhou adds up to four or five hundred thousand, and the 100,000 troops who besieged Huang Taiji were beaten to the ground, and they could not form an army, and Huang Taiji did not dare to face the Ming army with only tens of thousands of people under the royal city, this is the best proof, not only Li Guozhu was moved, but also the civil and military officials were moved, they wanted muskets and artillery, but they didn't want to pay, so they could only pretend to be poor and fool Li Xin.

Li Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly, you guys are too dark, aren't you?
