"Lord Xianzun said that the reinforcements will arrive soon, so let's just hold on!"

"Are there any reinforcements? That's great! ”

“……”

Zuo Yingxuan faintly heard these excited words, and immediately frowned. He immediately turned his head and said to Liu Yashi, who was protecting him beside him, "You go and see what's going on?" ”

"Yes, sir!" Liu Yashi agreed, and hurriedly went down the arrow tower.

After a while, I saw Liu Yajun hurriedly coming back with a gloomy face amid the rising cheers: "The people in the city are spreading that reinforcements are coming, and they are the men and horses of the ancestral army of Shanhaiguan. The villain checked it, is it...... Be...... The rumors spread by the mother-in-law in the villain's house! ”

He has always been by the county zun's side, and it can be determined that the county zun has never said such a thing, so he can be sure that Liu Wang's rumors are spreading at the first time.

Speaking of this, he suddenly knelt down, looked up at Zuo Yingxuan, and said earnestly: "The villain has just beaten her, and the villain has no way to discipline her." It's just that the mother-in-law is not knowledgeable and ignorant, please punish the villain! ”

Zuo Yingxuan figured out what was going on, and his brows suddenly furrowed. But before he could say anything, he heard Li Shiqi say in a low voice: "County Zun, look! ”

Zuo Yingxuan heard the sound, turned his head to look, and saw that the morale of the people guarding the city on the city wall had obviously improved a lot.

It is clear that this rumor is very beneficial for the current defense of the city. Zuo Yingxuan turned his head in silence, and said without hearing any emotion: "You get up!" ”

After saying that, he turned his head to look outside again, watching the battle intently. But in his heart, he secretly sighed, it would be great if there were really reinforcements coming. However, if it is said that the reinforcements are Zu Dashou's Guan Ning Army, it is obviously impossible.

A few days ago, Nazu Dashou didn't even guard the Beijing Division, and ran back to Shanhaiguan overnight, how could such a person come to save this small county!

This rumor is just a drink to quench your thirst, and if you don't see reinforcements coming, morale will become even more low. Hey, Liu Wang, Liu Wang, you really have a problem for the county, how should you let the county deal with this matter afterwards?

Outside the city, Azig couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the morale of the city suddenly rise, and after a while, when a subordinate came to tell him the news he had heard, he couldn't help but grin, obviously not believing it.

However, when he finished laughing, he ordered to intensify the siege of the city and strive to defeat it in one go, and at the same time sent out scout horses to spread ten more miles in the direction of Shanhaiguan.

The battle in Changli continued to be fierce, and in Jingshi, the war also began.

Hu Guang was in the arrow tower, listening to the earth-shattering drums of the Jianyu camp, and watching countless Jianyu come out of the camp gate neatly. I have to say that Jianyu's military discipline is really good, at least in the marching queue, it is much stronger than the Beijing camp.

At the head of the city, military orders were passed down from Mangui, and the soldiers on the city began to move.

Hu Guang walked to the rear to take a look, on the spacious street, there were already thousands of soldiers selected from the Beijing camp, and in their rear, there were still thousands of people, watched by Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyi Captain and the soldiers of the Fifth Army's Soldiers and Horses, and shouted loudly to order them to line up and stand.

He also saw that in the distance, there were factory guards with a team of people slowly converging here.

It can be seen that in these people's strong ranks, there are different clothes, there are brocade slaves from various provinces, there are also refugees and poor people who are patched, and so on. The factory guard's reprimand was mainly aimed at those brocade-clothed slaves and asked them to settle down. At the same time, there were also a few factory guards with loud voices saying something, attracting many people to look over. Many of the people who heard it had excitement on their faces.

Hu Guang can probably guess that it should be the person who announced that he was excellent in defending the city, and he would have the opportunity to become the son of Dongchang.

In the distance, a group of soldiers can be seen pushing a catapult towards this side, which seems to be a little heavy and moving slowly. This should be the Ministry of Industry rushing out to build one, and then send one.

Hu Guang watched the overall situation at the head of the city, although there was some panic in the city, there was generally no big problem, it was barely orderly, and everyone performed their duties!

He walked back to the outside and looked out of the city. In just such a moment, the number of Jianyu troops deployed outside the camp has exceeded 8,000, and Jianyu is still popping up in the camp gate.

The camp outside the gate is roughly divided into three phalanxes. It's pretty much the same arrangement. At the top of the line, most of them were Jurchens and Mongol Tatars in leather armor. On the bodies of these people, there are basically no long blades, but they are carrying long bows.

Behind these tartars were a group of soldiers. Hu Guang knew that most of these people should have come from Hannu. They will also be cannon fodder for the first wave of sieges. That Chen Er, or maybe he is among these people, I hope he can have a good life!

Behind the pawns were well-armed captives. These captives, judging from their size, are carefully selected and belong to the category that charges into battle.

In addition, there were groups of horsemen, running out of the camp gate from time to time, and gathering on both sides of the phalanx one after another, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, mixed with the earth-shattering drums, made the battlefield appear even more desolate.

Suddenly, from the gate of the camp came out a group of prisoners, pushing carts one after another, and slowly but very noticeably reached the front of the phalanx. The amount is staggering.

In the winter light, the shield carts reflected the luster of metal, apparently made of iron, or at least covered with iron sheets, far from the ones that Azig had improvised to deal with the head of Changli City.

When Li Fengxiang, the governor of Jingying, saw it, he was not surprised, and hurriedly approached Hu Guang and introduced: "Your Majesty, the shield on this carriage is made of thick wooden planks covered with cowhide and iron sheet. Jianyu's requirements for this kind of cart are that the small bricks and stones will not move, the large bricks and stones will roll down, and the firewood will not be burned. For firearms such as my Ming Dynasty's firearms, the defense is also very effective, and it is basically difficult to penetrate, which is a big killer weapon for Jianyu! ”

When Hu Guang heard this, he immediately looked at Li Fengxiang with a little curiosity, he didn't expect that Li Fengxiang, who was useless in his mind, could know so much.

When Li Fengxiang saw it, he was immediately overjoyed, it seemed that he had made the right bet, and the news he heard from Man Gui could win the favor of His Majesty.

He was even more energetic at this time, and hurriedly introduced to Hu Guang: "There is a rule in Jianyu, every 100 people in the Niu Lu must be equipped with four such carts, which are operated by 30 people. Relying on this car, Jianyu has captured my Daming city many times and broken the army array assembled by my Daming. As a result, there were military orders not to go into battle if the enemy did not have a chariot, and there were even cases of generals being punished for not carrying chariots in battle. ”
