Chapter 389 Withdrawing troops to besiege the city (third update)

In the end, none of the leaders looked good.The Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong said to Wang Jiayin again: "No, if you continue to fight like this, you will lose your vitality!"

"That's right, if the fight continues, even if we take down this county, we will lose money." Chuang Tatian Liu Guoneng immediately echoed Zhang Xianzhong this time.

When Wang Jiayin heard this, he turned to look at them, and said sharply, "Why panic, just wait a little longer!"

This sound of anger, relying on his status as the leader and his prestige, made others dare not follow Zhang Xianzhong, and the leaders fell silent again.

Beside Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, a young man frowned, and suddenly said to him in a low voice: "Uncle, the defense of this city has not been breached for a long time, and my nephew thinks that this must not be an accident. There is no reason to persist for so long! "

After hearing this, Gao Yingxiang turned to look at him, and asked his nephew with a surprised face, "Huang Lai'er, do you mean that the guards in the city did it on purpose?"

Huang Lai'er is this man's small characters. His real name was Li Hongji, but he changed his name to Li Zicheng after he became a thief.Seeing his uncle asking, when he was about to answer, a young man beside him said loudly: "I believe Uncle Li, the guards in the city must be doing it on purpose."

This man was called Li Guo, who was brave in battle and nicknamed a tiger.In the original history, he has always been one of Li Zicheng's most important capable men.Later, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and Li Zicheng died, he led the army to cooperate with Nanming, and was granted the title of Duke of Xingguo, and his troops were also named Zhongzhenying.

At this moment, his voice was loud, causing the other leaders to look sideways at him.After thinking about it for a while, many leaders suddenly realized.

This time, many leaders quit. Just when they were about to speak, they heard Wang Jiayin say loudly: "The officers and soldiers in this city are very cunning. They dared to show their weakness and lure us to attack the city. Come on, pass on The lord orders, withdraw troops and besiege the city!"

"..." Many leaders were speechless when they heard this.What did you do long ago, so many people died, you only said this at this time, brothers have died so many in vain!
Invisibly, Wang Jiayin's prestige was weakened a lot.However, the performance of Li Zicheng and Li Guo made many leaders look up to them.But at this time, they didn't have time to worry about these, and they sent orders to withdraw their troops one after another.

On the top of the city, seeing the bandits receding like a tide, Sun Chuanting frowned, seemingly dissatisfied.But the head catcher beside him felt relieved: "The thief finally retreated!"

"Yeah, a lot of thieves died, and finally they couldn't take it anymore!" The hundred households nearby responded, "However, we also died and injured a lot at the top of the city!"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he turned his head to look at him and said, "There is no such thing as undead in a war. We are defending the city. See how many thieves are killed and injured under the city, and you will know whether it is worth it!"

The voice was a bit cold, and there was a bit of unfeeling in his tone, but after he finished speaking, he pondered for a while, and then ordered the hundred households: "Tell me what I say, let the county magistrate take the lead, and let the big households in the city donate money for pensions. , Our Sun family can’t be less. In addition, those children who died in battle can go to my Sun family’s school to study together.”

The Sun family can be said to be the largest family in Dai County, and the patriarch himself was once a fifth-rank doctor in the official department of the imperial court, but he came back because he didn't want to be an official.As long as the Sun family does this, other big households in the city will not dare to disobey.The things Sun Chuanting explained can be implemented in place.

After hearing this, the hundred households quickly agreed.Even the head catcher next to him was happy and rushed to convey the news.

It didn't take long before cheers erupted in the city.Not only were the thieves repelled, but the big households in the city contributed money and food, and they were able to arrange the aftermath, and their morale immediately rose.

On the contrary, the thieves from outside the city came here on the spur of the moment, but now they have no morale, and it can even be said that the morale is a little low.Many of the brothers who were still eating in the same pot at noon were already lying under the city wall and couldn't come back. In this situation, if they could still talk and laugh, they would be really heartless.

Not only them, but the morale of the leaders was also affected.After the troops were withdrawn, the leader issued a military order to hold a meeting, and some leaders procrastinated, and it took a long time after the time passed before they slowly gathered together.

Wang Jiayin naturally knew what was going on, and he couldn't be strict with military discipline like his own subordinates for such a slight contempt for him.If the pressure is tight, believe it or not, all these battalion leaders will disperse in a hurry!After losing the battle, the hearts of the people are a little scattered, and the team is not easy to lead!

Thinking of this, he started to put on a cold face, but smiled, and said loudly: "Today we raided Dai County, and the officers and soldiers of Dai County suffered heavy casualties. It can be said that we have achieved our intended goal. Next, we Surround and not attack, leave the north gate and let Dai County go north to ask for emergency help. In this way, when the Datong general soldier who was born as a businessman is in a hurry, he will show his weakness to the enemy, and he will definitely defeat them! Brothers, wait for a good fight After this battle and out of the encirclement, we can be at ease again!"

Wang Jiayin's loyal brother Wang Ziyong heard this, although he felt that what the chief brother said was a bit taken for granted, he still echoed loudly: "Yes, the chief brother is right, after this battle is won, we will be free again! "

As soon as he finished speaking, it was possible to see which leaders had a strong relationship with Wang Jiayin and which leaders had a mediocre relationship with Wang Jiayin.Sparsely, voices of echo sounded out one after another, which was completely incomparable with the momentum of the meeting a few days ago.

This kind of response made Wang Jiayin feel very disappointed, so he didn't have much interest in talking about it.In fact, he also knew that it was useless for him to say anything, these leaders were old and cunning people, and they could not be influenced by just talking about them.

So, he turned his head to look at Ma Hui and replied: "As soon as the messenger sent by the county to ask for help set off, Brother Ma followed behind to meet the headquarters of the Datong General Army. Horse, lead us into our ambush circle as soon as possible!"

Ma Huihui heard this, and couldn't help but think in his heart, relying on my team alone, I really want to win, but have I won?But on the surface, he still generously stated that he must be able to defeat but not win, and he will definitely be proud of his soldiers and horses, and lead them into the ambush circle as soon as possible.

After Wang Jiayin urged and encouraged Shen Yiyuan, the meeting ended early and everyone returned to their respective camps.

In the early hours of the morning, when the thieves deliberately showed their flaws, Dai County sent a messenger, galloping north, to ask for help.

Sun Chuanting breathed a sigh of relief after he was informed that the envoy had safely passed the bandit's line of defense.He lay on the grand teacher's chair and closed his eyes quietly to rest his mind. When a family member even came in and told that the county magistrate came to see him and said he wanted to hear about his next move, he didn't bother to talk to him and waved his hand to the servant to refuse. Say everything is up to him, just let the county magistrate rest assured.

In fact, since the thieves began to attack the city, seeing that there were so many thieves, the pressure in his heart was not insignificant.After all, this is only a county seat, and the city wall is not high enough.At this time, it is rare to have a rest for a while, and he will not waste time.

But suddenly, if someone observed him carefully, they would find that he seemed to be shocked.
