Outside Changli City, about a thousand of the seven thousand captives were killed. At least half of them were killed by Lu Xiangsheng's army. About three thousand people were injured, but most of them were minor injuries.

The reason for this is mainly that the Changli defenders did not have many deadly defensive equipment. It was probably just that the ladder was pushed down and Jianlu fell down and was injured. If the city wall of Changli was as high as the capital, more people would probably fall to death.

Because of this situation, although the Battle of Changli was fierce and long-lasting, only a few Jianlu died.

Except for the injured Jianlu who could return to camp, Azig sent other Jianlu, whether they had received enough rest or not, to besiege King Qin's army below the city.

At this time, King Qin's army was composed of civilians after all. Although they fought desperately and had the rare bravery among the Ming army, they continued to die in battle. The number of soldiers was slowly decreasing, and the encirclement of Jianlu was also shrinking. .

If the city of Changli could not support some combat power, for example, Zuo Yingxuan summoned all the people in the city who could shoot arrows to shoot cold arrows here. There were also a few explosive shells, and one came unexpectedly, which prevented Jianlu from concentrating on the siege, thus reducing some of the pressure on King Qin's army.

However, whether it was Zuo Yingxuan on top of the city or Azig outside the city, they all knew that the King Qin army outside the city could not hold on for long.

As for the reinforcements, the two of them knew very well that they were just deceiving the ignorant people and soldiers. Therefore, of the two of them, one was in an extremely heavy mood, while the other looked like he was watching a show, just waiting to kick Magistrate Lu's head as a ball.

Slowly, less than a thousand people of King Qin's army were left outside Changli City. The war horses of Lu Xiangsheng and others were gone long ago, and there were only five or six servants left around them. They were all like bloody men. Although they tried their best, they were a little unable to do so. They were killed by Jianlu and retreated repeatedly. They had already sunk into the defensive line. Minzhuang Yongming in the protruding part is sharing the pressure.

It can be seen that it will not be long before the Qinwang army outside the city will be wiped out by Jianlu. Zuo Yingxuan watched from the top of the city and his eyes were filled with jealousy, but there was nothing he could do. The arms of those Zhuang people who provided archery support have lost their shooting strength, and their explosive ammunition has been used up. They can provide less and less support outside the city.

At this moment, Zuo Yingxuan was suddenly stabbed by something at the corner of his eye, and he subconsciously looked up. But in the distance to the north of the city, there seemed to be a long row of something reflecting light.

Liu Yamen beside him also noticed that his eyesight was obviously better than that of Zuo Yingxuan. He only looked at it for a moment and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Look, reinforcements, reinforcements, we really got reinforcements!"

With such a shout, the people on the top of the city also noticed it. Suddenly, they all cried with joy or shouted wildly.

Azig looked at this side of the city and felt something was wrong. However, the line of sight was not as high as the people at the top of Changli City. With many years of experience in battle formations, it was already a little late when they felt the sound of horse hooves coming from a distance.

At first he thought it was the detective horse he had sent out, but when he turned around to look at it, he was shocked.

In the distance of his sight, he saw a torrent of red armor coming slowly. They were all old acquaintances, and he could tell at a glance that this cavalry was Guan Ning's cavalry.

What's more critical is that behind it, dust is flying, and there is no telling how many more cavalry will appear. While encircling and suppressing the King Qin's army under the city, the Guan Ning cavalry suddenly appeared from behind. Azige felt a chill rising from his back spine.

In the distance, in front of the cavalry, General Cao Qi led his men all night long, leading the way, holding a long gun, looking ahead with bright eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Fortunately, we arrived in time, there is still fighting under the city. !”

There was still some distance from Jianlu, but he couldn't wait any longer. He was afraid that if he delayed for another minute, Magistrate Lu below the city would be in more danger, so he directly clamped his feet on the horse's belly and began to urge the horse to speed up, shouting at the same time He said: "Those who are not afraid of death can follow me and transform into dragons to kill prisoners!"

When his men saw it, they all urged their horses to speed up, and at the same time shouted: "Kill the prisoners!"

Amidst the billowing dust and the rumbling of iron hoofs, Cao Bianjiao was the arrowhead of this steel cavalry. With an indomitable momentum, he pounced at the foot of Changli City like a tiger coming out of the mountain.

The thunderous sound of iron hooves, no matter how loud the fighting on the battlefield, is, anyone who is not truly deaf will be alarmed. When Jianlu on the periphery turned to look, he was immediately stunned by the Guan Ning cavalry coming towards him.

When they came back to their senses, they immediately saw that Lord Baylor had run away. Yes, Azig ran away first, without even the slightest intention of organizing resistance! Instinctively, no one had the intention to resist anymore, they all turned around and ran away crying.

It's just a pity that most of the Jianlu soldiers are fighting on foot because they want to encircle and suppress the royal army in the city. Amidst the rumbling sound of Guan Ning's cavalry, no one had time to go to the camp to grab the war horses. They only regretted that their parents had lost two legs, and they all fled in the direction where Azig escaped.

The pressure on Lu Xiangsheng and others suddenly relaxed. When he saw clearly that the Ming cavalry was charging in the distance and saw Jianlu running away like crazy, he reacted instinctively and pointed the Yanyue Sword in his hand at Jianlu. The person running away shouted: "Kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yanyue Sword could no longer be held. It fell to the ground with a clang, and the man also softened.

When Lu Da and another servant saw him, they quickly dropped their weapons and reached out to help Lu Xiangsheng. Unexpectedly, they themselves had exhausted their energy. With this support, Lu Xiangsheng, who was already tall and strong and wearing heavy armor, immediately fell to the ground with them both.

The other young men who were still alive in King Qin's army lost the breath they were holding in their hearts, and just like their prefect, they all fell to the ground softly. Almost everyone is exhausted.

Among the roaring Guan Ning cavalry, Cao Bianjiao was at the forefront and continued to pursue Jianlu. At this time, it is a good opportunity to kill the enemy and cannot be missed.

However, when he passed near King Qin's army, he saw Lu Xiangsheng and others falling to the ground. Not only did he not show any contempt, but he straightened his upper body on horseback, held his spear in his chest, and looked at Lu Xiangsheng with admiration, expressing his respect in his heart.

His men, as well as other Ming troops, all saluted the King Qin's army under Changli City in their own ways.

It can fight with Jianlu in the field, and it is only a Qinwang army composed of strong people. As long as there are still some bloody people among these Guan Ning cavalry, they will all be in awe!

On the top of the city, Zuo Yingxuan came to his senses and immediately shouted to people to dig a hole for the city gate. He also asked people to boil hot water and prepare to treat the wounded.

The Battle of Changli finally ended with the victory of the Ming army.

ps: Because of the butterfly effect, the course of the Battle of Changli changed. The real Changli is much greater than this. Jianlu attacked for seven days and increased his strength to 30,000, but still failed to capture Changli. The reason why this battle was not famous in later generations was because the Ming Dynasty eventually perished, and Jianlu became the victor in writing history.
