100. Sudden bad news

As expected, the Jurchens' team was in full swing! They roared and launched a desperate charge towards the gate! The momentum was amazing!

However, during their hesitation, the door was completely sealed!! The broken corpses, broken weapons, broken stones, and burning wood almost built a wall at this not-wide door!

The Jurchens inside charge outwards, and first they will be blocked by the wall. It is almost impossible for the cavalry to climb over such a high obstacle, but it is even more impossible for us to give them the chance to demolish the obstacle.

So, the new corpse was thickened and raised, forming a new obstacle. With the cover of the flower-spreading trencher, the Jurchens had to retreat again!

Next is a tug-of-war, which is no pressure on us. We have sufficient supplies, can attack when we advance, and can defend when we retreat, and there is no knot in our hearts.

The Jurchens are different. They face siege, attacks and deaths that will come at any time. So after a day, the Jurchens in Mangzi Village began to become more and more manic!

I stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the scene inside with a telescope. They were very quarreling inside. This was really welcome. And Tanma also told me that the Atai tribe of Gule Village did not surrender, and was still trying their best to fight.

Haha, I like your integrity! It’s best that you never leave, just shed the last drop of blood here!

I thought to myself secretly and ordered the soldiers to be divided into three teams and do nothing else, and beat the drum every half hour in the middle of the night. I want to make the people in the village unable to rest for a minute, so that their spirits will be completely broken!

The other two teams retreated five miles to rest and rectify.

So, in the middle of the night, the Jurchens were just about to rest for a while when a clamor suddenly sounded on the hill, and some people shouted that horses were neighing and guns and cannons were clattering together. So they immediately got up, picked up their weapons and rushed out!

As a result, there was no result. The yard was empty and the villages were in front of them. I wanted to take advantage of the night, but I was hit by the stones shot from the darkness and bleeding!

A few smart people wanted to climb over the wall to swim, but were caught by ninjas waiting outside the moat...

Seeing that the road was blocked, they could only curse and go back to the house to rest. But soon, the drums started to ring again! Some Jurchens said that the southerners were just scaring people; but some said, what if it was true one time?

So, the drums rang and they got up. By the time the seventh and eighth times, the Jurchens were obviously tired and there were fewer people coming out. I asked Zhi to take the musket team and shoot at their village in a volley! He pushed a few more tiger squatting cannons and bombarded the courtyard wall!

The Jurchens were in trouble again! But after we fired the cannon, we continued to go back to rest, and then changed shifts and next group of people came.

How about it? Are you happy? Do you like it?

In this way, after a night of suffering, the Jurchens in the village completely collapsed! They stood on the wall of the village and shouted at us. I understood that they were asking for a duel like a warrior!

I appreciated this courage, so I let the scattering machine cover the village with a long time to cover the area within the range!

There were no more people who challenged them, and they were completely beaten back to the fortifications, huddling and waiting for the turn.

Very good, I like this kind of wisdom. So I asked the archers to board the rocket and shoot indiscriminately at the buildings in the village!

I just like watching you amateur firefighters perform!

Because it is located in the Xing'anling Mountains, most of the buildings in the village are made of wood. After we beat the fire arrows like this, the poor people inside discovered that their speed of water could not keep up with the speed of our shooting!

The sentiment of despair began to spread. Some tough guys chose to commit suicide, but they would bleed. Their blood gathered into a stream, which scared the courage of those not very tough companions.

The quarrel became even more serious! Finally, news came from Li Chengliang that Atai was annihilated and the remaining troops fought to the death to escape, the remaining wicked and scattered people in Mangzi Village finally agreed to my friendly proposal and began to surrender in an established manner.

As for Ahaibe, I don’t want to see them or communicate with them. I just let someone guard the gate and solve one according to the standards I said, come out and walk slowly, don’t wait for us to send it!

Some guys who wanted to get away with it were killed on the spot. In front of the sharp Spurs, they couldn't run much, and they couldn't run the speed of the arrows far away. The remaining four or five thousand people lined up to accept the self-change from complete people to useless people.

I just want to let these people go back, so that they can become useless people who cannot do labor and fight! I just want to let them go back and consume food! I just want to let them become scars that the Jurchens remember when they see it!

For me, all reputations are all over the world. I know my own affairs, and the time I left the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be too far away...

The mountain where Li Chengliang met was built a camp. After winning a big victory, the soldiers were in great mood.

The baggage battalion brought enough supplies, so today we let go of the supplies of the soldiers and provided everyone with a bottle of wine. This brought a lot of laughter and joy in the camp, and also affected my mood to develop in a better direction.

Li Chengliang and others sat in the tent. Li Chengliang laughed loudly, picked up a glass of wine, toasted me and said, "Qi Lan, you have made great contributions to defeating the enemy this time. I believe that after you go back, you will be no problem! I am here to wish you a bright future! Don't forget your old brother!"

I picked up the wine glass and smiled and said, "Where is it! The officials have only fulfilled their duties, and General Li is the one who is in charge of the battle! I believe that after this battle, General Li will definitely become more prestige and is actually a pillar of the court! The pillar of the Northeast!"

In this way, we started to flatter each other. This is normal. For Li Chengliang, he knew best whether he had custody and whether he had any tricks. He was also afraid that the quarrel would be too fierce and would cause other things to happen, so he used me to attract firepower.

But I don’t want to tread this muddy water at all, I just want to come and leave cleanly.

For a moment, I pushed and let me go in the big tent, and I was humble and respectful, but I was so happy that the people watching the fun were so happy.

I drank until midnight, and waited for me to say goodbye to Li Chengliang and return to my own tent. Several of my confidants were waiting for me. Buhui, who went to deliver the letter to Governor Qi, also came back, standing blankly in the middle of the tent.

I felt the atmosphere was not right, so I asked, "What's wrong?"

Buhui opened his mouth but didn't say anything. After a while, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to me.

I felt something was wrong in my heart. I took the letter and expanded it. In addition to the table and signature, there were six words in total: "The chief assistant is critically ill! Come back quickly!"

Although I was mentally prepared early, I was still shocked when I saw this letter!

It is hard to describe what it feels like. It seems to be the interweaving of various negative emotions. The only thing that can be regarded as positive emotions is probably a slight relief.

But soon, my heart was occupied by the pain!

Why! I have already reminded him! He has paid great attention to his body, why is it still like this? It is almost consistent with the real time of death in history...

Is it really difficult to get back?

Has his layout been completed? Has the successor been chosen? Has Zhang Siwei's power been suppressed? Has the little emperor's work been done?

Questions are constantly gathering in my heart!

Why is it now? Even if I give me another year, I will plant more poisonous seeds among the Jurchens to take root, sprout, bloom and bear fruit!

Why is it now! Why is it must be now!

A silent cry rang in my heart, and finally I decided to rush back!

So, I turned around under the gaze of everyone and returned to Li Chengliang's tent.

Li Chengliang was talking to several sons and subordinates. Seeing me coming again, he stood up and asked with a smile, "Qi Lan returned, I guess it's important to do it!"

I nodded, squeezed out a smile and said, "I just received a letter from my family saying that my family was critically ill. Qi Lan thought about it. The war has been completed. I want to return to report my duties first. I will say goodbye to General Li!"

Li Chengliang's face changed and said, "This is the case! Qi Lan will go there with confidence! I will clean up here, so there will be no problem!"

I said in a deep voice: "Thank you so much! Take care of me! Qi Lan said goodbye!" After that, he bowed.

When I returned to my big tent, I called Liu Jianchun, and said so, and asked him to lead the team back. After Liu Jianchun responded, I took my confidants, including the ninja team and musket riders, and rushed to the capital overnight.

On the way, I thought secretly that rushing back like this was not necessarily a good choice, so I ordered to rush to Jizhou and see Governor Qi first.

I traveled day and night along the way, and the horses were exchanged directly at the post station. After a few days, I finally arrived in Jizhou. I didn't care about rest and went straight to Governor Qi's villa.

It's summer now, and for some reason, I felt that I was soaked in the back. It was not until I saw Duke Qi, who was also in the front hall, that I realized that I had such a bad feeling, far more than me.

Seeing that I was rushing back so quickly, Governor Qi was very pleased. He was even more moved by my arrival to see him first.

We were not polite, so we divided the guest and the host to sit down. Governor Qi stood up and closed the door. Only he and I were left in the room.

I suppressed the sadness in my heart and asked in a calm tone: "Governor, what is the current situation?"

Governor Qi said with a heavy expression: "It's very bad!"

I let out a long sigh and asked, "What's going on in the court!"

Governor Qi looked at me and lowered his voice, "The wind and clouds are rising, and the dark tides are rising!"

I was silent for a while and asked again: "The Chief Supervisor...my Second Uncle..."

Governor Qi stared at me and said for a while: "If he doesn't leave, you will definitely make a big contribution this time! Alas... it's a pity! It's a pity!"

I glared at Governor Qi in displeasure, and said in a cold tone: "Governor, you are a marquis, but I hope Haibo is peaceful. But is Qi Lan the one who pursues fame and fortune?"

This is the only time I have spoken in such a tone since I met him for the first time, and I am very rude.

Governor Qi didn't say anything, just stared at me quietly, and I just stared at him, and the air inside seemed to have frozen.

Governor Qi suddenly asked, "Is this the truth?"

But I didn't want to answer and snorted silently.

Governor Qi looked at me a few more times and suddenly laughed! That expression was like flowers blooming in March, extremely brilliant!
Chapter completed!
