Outside Changli City, Zu Dashou led nearly three thousand cavalry troops and arrived. Looking at everything in front of him, he seemed a little unbelievable.

I saw teams of Guan Ning cavalry everywhere in the mountains and fields, either escorting prisoners or gathering under the city with a bunch of heads. Under the city, more than a thousand prisoners were being guarded.

Although the joy soaring to the sky cannot be seen, latecomers like Zu Dashou can feel it. No one can remember such a battle situation, such joy, and this feeling of victory. It has been so long since we have seen it.

"A great victory, this is a great victory!" Mao Yuanyi couldn't help but admire, stroking the long beard that she had deliberately cultivated.

When they were heading towards Changli City, a group of people came galloping towards them. As they got closer, the leading general and his men quickly turned over and dismounted, clasped their fists and loudly reported: "The last general, Cao Wenzhao, has seen the commander-in-chief."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mao Yuanyi was there, and he clasped his fists again and said, "I've seen Mr. Mao."

All of his men couldn't hide their joy and loudly followed their general to pay tribute to the commander-in-chief.

Zu Dashou's face was full of joy, and there was no sign that he had been angry before. He just heard him loudly say: "Yes, General Cao has lived up to my high expectations. I will definitely ask for credit for you!"

Mao Yuanyi was more concerned about another thing. As soon as Zu Dashou finished speaking, he immediately asked with concern: "How is Magistrate Lu? Have you rescued him?"

"Back to Mr. Mao, Magistrate Lu is fine!" After Cao Wenzhao answered immediately, he added with a look of admiration, "Governor Lu is actually the Ran Min of ancient times, the Yang of the Song Dynasty has risen again, and he is in a position of courage that is unworthy of ten thousand men. He only leads a servant. In the field battle, he was defeated by Jianlu. The number of arrowheads he took off was almost a liter. Thanks to the double armor, he had no regrets. Now he is recovering from his injuries at the Changli County Government Office and cannot move for the time being. "

Among the Guan Ning army, Cao Wenzhao was a relatively famous brave general. He said this, which shows how brave Nalu Zhifu is. The most important thing is that he is a Jinshi. After this battle, he will definitely be reused by the court.

Therefore, upon hearing this, Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou immediately asked Cao Wenzhao to lead the way to see Lu Xiangsheng.

Traces of war can be seen everywhere under Changli City. Zu Dashou and others have been in the army for a long time, and it can be seen at a glance how many tests Changli has experienced before. I couldn't help but be secretly surprised. They really didn't expect that a small town in Changli County could survive such an intense attack by Jianlu. It seemed that the Magistrate of Changli County was quite capable and would definitely be promoted after this battle. Thinking like this, Zu Dashou and others took another high look at the Changli County Magistrate.

When they were still a few feet away from the gate of the county government office, the leader, Zu Dashou, reined in his horse and dismounted. When the government officials at the gate came in to report, they just stood at the door to show their respect.

Changli County Magistrate Zuo Yingxuan rushed out quickly, and hurriedly welcomed Zu Dashou and Mao Yuanyi, who represented Sun Chengzong, to the county government office. As scholars, they naturally have a common language. Mao Yuanyi asked with concern as he walked: "Changli fought hard for several days and sacrificed a lot. The county magistrate turned around and wrote down the names of all the dead in the battle. The student will definitely report it to the elder."

When Zuo Yingxuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and then replied: "A hard fight is indeed a hard fight, but it's not bad to die in battle. Most of them are just injuries..."

"What? How is this possible?" Zu Dashou on the side heard this and interjected in surprise.

You must know that this is just the city of Changli County, and the people who defend the city are just ordinary people. Few people died in the battle. This makes no sense!

Of course Zuo Yingxuan knew why he was so surprised. He immediately reached out and asked a government servant to fetch a set of clothes from a nearby wing and said, "Thanks to this, I saved many people's lives!"

Zu Dashou and Mao Yuanyi took it in and looked at each other. They couldn't help but look at each other. There were actually tiles sewn into the clothes and hats.

Mao Yuanyi gave the thing in her hand to Zu Dashou, and then said with a look of admiration: "The student is really convinced by the county magistrate. Such wonderful and ingenious strategies are really better than spreading beans and forming an army!"

In the battle of Changli, mostly Han slaves and Mongol Tatars attacked the city. Among them, the Mongolian Tatars are the real poor people who are extremely poor. Not many of them can even afford iron arrowheads, and many of them are made of bone. Although the tiles could not block the heavy arrows, they could block the bone arrows relatively easily.

Mao Yuanyi did not expect that after he finished speaking, Zuo Yingxuan actually shook his head, and at the same time he was surprised by the reply: "This wonderful idea was contributed by a commoner woman in Changli, not a subordinate official."

Having said this, he turned around and stretched out his hand to signal, leading the guests to the Yamen again, and at the same time said: "She also emphasized that you would come to rescue Chang Li. At that time, the subordinate thought she was just trying to boost morale, but she was actually She was right!”

Upon hearing this, Zu Dashou and Mao Yuanyi looked at each other, both seemed slightly embarrassed.

In the time they were talking, they arrived at the back office. After the announcement, the leaders entered the main room.

On the bed, there was a man sitting at the head of the bed, almost his whole body covered with bandages. His face was still a little tired, but he was in good spirits.

Zuo Yingxuan took a quick step forward and introduced: "Sir, this is the Commander-in-Chief of Shanhaiguan, and this is Mr. Mao Yuanyi, Mr. Sun Ge's staff."

When Zu Dashou and Mao Yuanyi faced Lu Xiangsheng, they did not dare to ask for help and hurriedly greeted him.

A wry smile appeared on Lu Xiangsheng's face and he said: "I am injured, I'm sorry!"

How could Mao Yuanyi and others care? After a few polite remarks, the topic immediately turned to the just-concluded Battle of Changli. An important issue is how to write the memorial of this great victory!

Although in terms of rank, Zu Dashou was the chief military officer and the highest, Lu Xiangsheng was a serious Jinshi and the prefect of Mu Shou, so his opinions were very important.

But Lu Xiangsheng obviously did not disappoint them. He only heard him say: "If Guan Ning's army does not arrive in time for this battle, Xiaguan's Qinwang army will definitely be in danger. It is hard to say how long the battle of Changli can last. Therefore, the first contribution should be made." Guan Ning Cavalry, there is no doubt about it.”

Zu Dashou was very happy when he heard that, and everyone carried the sedan chair, and he replied: "If it hadn't been for Magistrate Lu to fight Jianlu first and rebuild the Jianlu in the wild, it would have been difficult for our Guan Ning cavalry to win this battle. material."

Lu Xiangsheng just smiled after hearing this, then looked at Cao Wenzhao and said: "General Cao's troops are indeed brave, and the leading young general is even more unstoppable. He will definitely be one of our Ming Dynasty generals in the future!"

"How shameful!" Upon hearing this, Cao Wenzhao hurriedly gave in and said, "He is Cao Bianjiao, the late general's nephew. He is young and vigorous and needs more training."

Lu Xiangsheng remembered the name, turned to look at Zuo Yingxuan and said: "The fundamental reason for the battle of Changli is that Zuo County magistrate defended the city, which greatly consumed the strength and vigor of Jianlu before any follow-up could be done. "

Thanks for the reward from Nature!
