Fortunately, nothing happened all night. It was not until dawn that there was any movement in the Jianlu camp.

Mangui could see clearly through the telescope, and saw that Jianlu seemed to be holding prisoners in the camp. There were so many people in the camp, there were hundreds of them.

There is almost no need to guess, these must be the captives who escaped yesterday. It's a pity that I didn't kill him.

Mangui could see the movement of Jianlu's camp, and the guards on the city wall could also see the movement. Although they couldn't see clearly, they could still guess what Jianlu was doing, and they all looked at Jianlu excitedly. Lu Daying pointed and laughed at Jian Lu. There will be a day when Jian Lu is incompetent.

Even Li Fengxiang, the admiral of the Beijing camp who was still sleeping, heard the sound and watched the fun. When he saw the situation clearly, he couldn't help but smile and said to Man Gui: "Hey, you were tied to the camp gate and beaten? Tsk, tsk, these rows of people were whipped with whips. It was really spectacular! It's a pity that Your Majesty is not here. , otherwise it will make His Majesty happy!"

"There are only a few Jurchen Tatars. There are only a few hundred people here. They really don't have the courage to engage in military law. I guess the beatings are just for show. Otherwise, adding a few hundred wounded soldiers will be enough to make the captives feel distressed." Mangui said Then he pointed with his finger and said, "My father-in-law, please see, these Jurchen Tatars who fled back are all elites, and some of them are even soldiers from Baya."

Li Fengxiang nodded, then suddenly turned to Man Gui and said, "Were you okay last night?"

"Well, it's okay!" Mangui nodded in response.

Look, our family knows things like a god! Just knew it would be okay. Li Fengxiang thought in his mind that now that he saw the situation outside the city, he was even more certain that Jianlu had no morale to continue the attack. It was just that the emperor had taught him a lesson, so he did not laugh at Mangui's timidity. Instead, he asked Mangui: "Our family will enter the palace soon. What happened to what your majesty asked last night?"

"Please return to your majesty, my father-in-law. General Yimo believes that even if Jianlu has cannons, there are no gunners to use them; even if there are gunners, the range and power of the general's cannons are not as powerful as the Hongyi cannons at the top of the city. If Jianlu If the enemy really brings artillery to attack the capital, he will be sure to defend the capital." Man Gui's face was serious, as if the emperor was right in front of him, he turned to face Li Fengxiang, clasped his hands and said respectfully.

Li Fengxiang nodded and returned to the Forbidden City.

Mangui observed for a while and found that Jianlu's probing horses seemed to be much less numerous. The signs in Jianlu's camp showed that Jianlu really had no intention of attacking the city, which was a bit abnormal. Could it be that Jianlu had no intention of attacking the city and was preparing to withdraw because of the defeat of Changli?

With doubts, he asked his trusted servants on duty to keep an eye on the movements of the Jianlu camp, while he went to rest for a while.

At the same time, in Tongzhou, Governor Jie Jingchuan, who had had a good sleep, was sitting in the lobby feeling refreshed. He looked at the soldiers of King Qin below and asked, "Is there any further news about yesterday's incident?"

Hei Yunlong looked at his colleagues beside him, stepped forward and clasped his fists in response: "If I return to Zhongcheng, I have sent Ye Bushou to investigate. There is no news yet..."

When he said this, Zhinian Jingzhuan frowned, and he quickly added: "However, the general found out early this morning that there seemed to be a lot less Jianlu scouts, and the reason still needs to be investigated!"

"Well, as soon as you have any news, report it to me immediately!" Jie Jingzhuan wondered if he saw Jianlu's embarrassment yesterday, but his voice seemed to be a little louder.

When the general soldiers below were about to answer, suddenly there was a commotion outside, which seemed to be relatively large, and there seemed to be vague cheers.

When I heard the Bible Explanation, I felt unhappy. Could it be that the people were making trouble again?

In order to rush to transport food, many people died outside the city, and then some were killed under the city. The people in the city had already made a fuss about this once before, which made Jie Jing Chuan very unhappy.

In fact, he wouldn't be afraid if this kind of thing was just to cause trouble. But what he didn't expect was that many of the gentry's domestic slaves in the city also died under the city, which made him a little surprised.

For this reason, he was very slanderous in his heart. Is it possible that those families were still short of this small amount of food, and they actually sent their slaves to grab it!

Jie Jing Zhuan is afraid that these gentry have connections in the court. If they bring a message to the Yushi Yanguan and are attacked by political opponents, this kind of thing will be said to harm the people. Is it true that they can escape safely? Hard to say.

Because of this, he was really troubled by the troubles caused by the people in the city, so he kept avoiding them and asked the Tongzhou County Magistrate to come forward to appease them and promised to compensate them with money and food.

Only this time, he guessed wrong. The noise soon came from far to near, and the sound could be heard faintly: "The great victory of Changli, captured three thousand Jianlu, and killed three thousand Jianlu; the great victory of Changli..."

In the lobby, whether it was Jie Jing Chuan or various Qin Wang soldiers, although they heard the voice clearly, they all had expressions of disbelief and doubts that they had heard wrongly.

How could it be possible to capture three thousand captives and kill three thousand captives? Who is lying about military information?

Soon, the messenger sent by Sun Chengzong, led by General Ma Dengyun, who was on duty at the head of the city, broke into the lobby. Amid the sounds of surprise, the messenger held his head high and loudly announced: "As ordered by the elder, I went to various cities to announce the great victory of Changli. This is the battle report of Changli. Please take a look at it, Lord Zhongcheng!"

Under the current circumstances, Changli had achieved a great victory. This news was so shocking that Jie Jingzhuan could no longer sit still. He couldn't even wait for his subordinates to forward it to him, so he stood up in person and started reading the battle report midway. The general soldiers were whispering to each other, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

This victory was so great that they really couldn't believe it, but this was a good news that the elder Ge passed around, and it was obviously going to be delivered to the imperial palace in the capital. If too much water was poured into it, the imperial censor was not a vegetarian.

In an atmosphere of suspicion, speculation, excitement, and disbelief, the battle report was circulated among everyone in the lobby. If it weren’t for the elder’s seal, and if it weren’t for the difficulty of forging the results of the battle, just based on the description of the battle, they wouldn’t believe it!

Haha, it’s just a small county in Changli. Seven thousand soldiers attacked the city for two days, but they didn’t break the city. Is this possible?

Also, a civil servant, a prefect with a Jinshi background, could actually lead a group of improvised Minzhuangs to fight in and out of the Jianlu army, and engage in field battles with the Jianlu troops without losing. Who can tell what this bragging is? Didn't it blow to the sky?

However, these are facts, and this is what is written in the battle report. These senior Tongzhou bureaucrats and generals in the lobby suddenly came to a common understanding. In fact, building a captive army was nothing more than that!

While everyone was envious of Changli's great victory, Jie Jingzhuan also became excited and loudly ordered that extra troops be deployed at night to investigate the situation of the captives.

Almost all the cities that received the victory of Changli, like Tongzhou, had their morale immediately increased.

Thanks to Qingying Denglei for the reward!
