Chapter 118 A rare victory
Seeing the overjoyed expression on the messenger's face, Sun Chengzong knew that this victory was inevitable. But when he read the good news, he was still shocked.
Of the 7,000 Jianlu prisoners, only about 500 escaped, and the rest were either killed or captured. It can almost be said that the entire Jianlu army was annihilated. Such a great victory seems to have never happened since the Jianlu rebellion.
Upon first hearing of such a great victory, no one in the Ming Dynasty would think that the news was real. According to the usual practice, nine out of ten cases were filled with water.
However, based on Sun Chengzong's experience, he could conclude from the process described in the good news that the numbers in the good news were true.
Because there were nearly 3,000 captured Jianlu alone. This cannot be faked. Moreover, judging from the course of the war, even if they were real Jianlu, their fighting strength was probably almost exhausted by the unexpected bravery of Changli and King Qin’s troops. . At this time, it would be strange to be undefeated if he was suddenly stabbed from behind by Guan Ning's cavalry. What's more, the so-called built captives here are actually only about a thousand who are genuine Jurchen Tatars.
In addition, Sun Chengzong keenly felt that this great victory was related to the command ability of the Jianlu leader, and also to the fact that Jianlu had been victorious for days and underestimated the enemy. Otherwise, it would be difficult to say whether King Qin's army could reestablish the enemy.
However, the results have already come out, who cares about this. Now, whether it is the Ming army or the court, they all need such a great victory to boost their morale.
Therefore, after reading the good news, Sun Chengzong immediately applauded the case. Order the good news to be copied into many copies and sent to various places immediately. Of course, it also includes rushing to the capital immediately.
When he finished doing this, he suddenly came back to his senses when he looked at Liu Xingzuo, who was still in front of him, and was stunned.
Before this, his attitude towards Liu Xingzuo was that he would rather believe it, but now the battle of Changli has proved that what Liu Xingzuo said is true, which makes him feel unreal.
When did such a magical method of communication appear in the world, which allows people to know things far away without even noticing. Could it be that the person he sent to monitor overlooked something? Not a homing pigeon, but some smaller bird?
Liu Xingzuo had already said before that it was inconvenient to reveal it, and Sun Chengzong couldn't ask any more questions. He had doubts in his heart, but on the surface he didn't seem to care about Liu Xingzuo's magic and let him go.
When it was almost dusk, at the top of Tongzhou City, the governor in charge, Jie Jingzhuan, looked a little tired. When he was about to go back to the Yamen to rest, he suddenly saw dust rising in the distance.
"A large group of cavalry is coming!" Hei Yunlong, the commander-in-chief beside him, also noticed it and immediately became nervous and said loudly.
Subconsciously, everyone thought it should be Jianlu's cavalry, and they all became nervous. They prepared for battle at the top of the city, and the Qinwang Army camp below the city also blew the warning horn. The Ming army in the distance did not retreat at night, but rode back crazily. Suddenly, everyone in Tongzhou became nervous.
Don't tell me, they guessed it right. The cavalry that brought up the dust in the distance numbered about four hundred, and they were really Jianlu's cavalry.
However, one thing that surprised them was that they seemed to have a hard time believing that the cavalry army in front of them was really Jianlu's army? Panicked and embarrassed, they even thought of the word abandoning their armor!
But looking at the style of the military uniforms, there is no doubt that they are Jianlu, and they are genuine Jurchen Tatars! At this moment, everyone at the top of the city was dumbfounded.
"Who can tell me what's going on?" Jie Jingzhuan whispered as if talking to himself. His eyes were fixed on the Jianlu cavalry, which was galloping past Tongzhou in the distance, and seemed to be heading to the Jianlu camp in the capital.
Commander-in-Chief Ma Dengyun also looked in disbelief. Hearing Master Zhongcheng's words, he replied a little uncertainly: "It seems that he lost the battle and ran back?"
"It seems like this!" Heiyunlong added, "But Jianlu are very powerful in field battles. Who can defeat them?"
No one answered his words. In fact, none of the people in their city could think of it. Who could beat Jianlu like this?
After watching the Jianlu cavalry disappear from sight for a while, the people in the city came back to their senses and started talking about lifting the alert.
"If there is any situation, please report it to me immediately!" Jie Jingchuan yawned and looked very tired. He was really under too much pressure. After giving the order, he went back to the Yamen.
The few general soldiers on the city couldn't figure out the reason, so they all went their separate ways in the end.
However, when it was about to get dark, the Ming army rushed from the direction of the capital without stopping at night. These were those who approached the capital to investigate the battle situation in the capital under heavy reward, and rushed into Tongzhou City shouting a great victory.
Soon, the general soldiers of the King's army outside Tongzhou City were summoned to the Yamen by Jie Jing Chuan, and they excitedly announced the victory of the battle to defend the capital.
"Jianlu attacked the capital twice, but both returned with lost troops and generals without success. Even in today's massive siege, not even one person was able to capture the city!" The scriptures were passed down to the generals below, loudly explaining the battle situation in the capital. In between, it gives people a feeling of relief.
Indeed, as the commander-in-chief of King Qin's army closest to the capital, he was under great pressure to ensure the safety of the capital under the orders of Sun Chengzong. After all, there was an army of hundreds of thousands of rebels outside the capital city. If the capital city was in danger, he really didn't know whether he should lead the army to support them.
Now it's fine, the capital is fine, so there's no need to take risks.
These general soldiers were relatively happy when they heard the good news, but they were still a little disappointed. If the capital could be defended by themselves, what would they do?
As generals leading troops, they paid more attention to it. After asking about the scriptures and not being able to pass them on, they summoned the leaders who stayed out all night and carefully asked about the situation of the siege. Only to find out that Jianlu seemed to have lost his troops and generals but could not get the capital.
They actually know the situation in Beijing Camp well. This situation makes it a little difficult for them to understand. When did Jingying become so powerful? To be honest, they really couldn't figure it out. Logically speaking, the defense of the city in the two capital battles should have been more fierce! Could it be that there was something wrong with Jianlu?
I couldn't understand or guess it. In the end, Jie Jing Chuan and these general soldiers just got together and dispersed.
Under the night, Mangui, who was at the top of the capital city, used the monocular telescope to find hundreds of Jianlu soldiers entering the Jianlu camp from afar.
"Eunuch Li, could this be the Jianlu who fled back after the great victory in Changli as the emperor said?" Man Gui was a little unsure and asked the admiral of the Jingying camp who was standing next to him and also looking through the binoculars.
With a smile on his face, Li Fengxiang said without hesitation: "It must be. Judging from the time mentioned by the emperor, it is estimated that he will escape at about this time. Haha, the Jianlu army will be confused, and we can rest easy! Our family will enter the palace immediately , report this news to the emperor!"
