After Zhang Zhen entered the city, he did not break his promise. He gave all his gold and silver treasures, including his wife Sunila's jewelry, to the death warriors who went to war.
Those who died or were injured in battle were also recorded. Give rewards to their families.
in addition. For the armor and sophisticated weapons captured by the Mongolian people. In addition to heavy axes and divine arm bows. Zhang Zhen let a close confidant make the decision, and distributed it to the surviving soldiers who dared to die as appropriate.
They won this battle, but the soldiers who dared to die also suffered heavy losses.
But even so. The armor left by the Meng Yuan people was not enough to distribute to every surviving soldier who dared to die.
After arranging all this, Zhang Zhen led some of his soldiers, Jin Tie, Qi Min and others back to Sushun Hou Mansion.
In front of the house.
As soon as Zhang Zhen got off his horse, he saw a fast horse galloping towards him.
"General. The Meng Yuan camp in the south of the city has demolished the military camp, and the troops are gathering in the west of the city."
"General. The Meng Yuan camp in the north of the city..."
Zhang Zhen looked very calm when he heard this, and said to Qi Min and Jin Tie: "It's normal. I would do the same thing."
"Find General Lu. Let the thousands and hundreds of households guarding the city not be careless because of my victory. A proud army will be defeated." Zhang Zhen turned to a Han soldier and said.
"Yes." Han Bing responded, turned around and went down.
Zhang Zhen, Qi Min, Jin Tie and others entered Sushun Hou Mansion. He asked the two of them to wait in the main room while he found a room and asked his soldiers to bandage him and apply medicine.
Zhang Zhen felt very happy during this process.
He was so excited on the battlefield that the pain seemed not to be pain, but some kind of irritant, making him even more excited. But when I retreated from the battlefield and bandaged up safely, it really hurt.
The key is.
In order to maintain his dignity, Zhang Zhen pretended to be calm and calm despite the pain.
Fortunately, the soldiers were very skilled in treating wounds. This sour feeling doesn't last long. When Zhang Zhen put on clean clothes and came to the main room, Lu Yanxun had already arrived.
"General."
The three of them bowed and saluted Zhang Zhen. Zhang Zhen waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down. Then he came to the main seat with his head held high and sat down.
"General. Now the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers have gathered. They have few troops. And our soldiers have some armor, and their morale is very high. Coupled with the general's prestige. Should we lead our troops out of the city and defeat the Mongolian and Yuan army? camp?"
Qimin's eyes showed determination and full of enterprising spirit. But he also clearly understood who was in charge and who was second. He adopted the attitude of a subordinate and asked Zhang Zhen to make a decision by raising his opinion.
Jin Tie and Lu Yanxun both frowned slightly. Zhang Zhen waved his hand, shook his head and said: "This victory is just a surprise and an unprepared attack. It does not prove that our army is stronger than Meng Yuan."
"And I said it before. The Mongolian soldiers with a commander of ten thousand households and the soldiers of the Mongolian army without a commander of ten thousand households are two completely different armies."
"Now that they are gathered together, Tian Yuan must be in command. I am not afraid of Tian Yuan, but if we go out of the city and fight fiercely, we will definitely lose."
Having said this, Zhang Zhen's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said with high spirits, "Now that our military morale is stable, we can be more secure."
"Secure the city and fight against Tian Yuan."
"I speculate that Tian Yuan will definitely request troops and horses from the Meng Yuan court to allocate grain and grass. General Lu, from today on, you don't need to participate in the defense of the city. Control your ten thousand households and establish an intelligence system. For Meng Yuan, Human logistics, baggage, and reinforcements are used to harass and tire out the enemy."
"Just delay it like this and let the Meng Yuan people continue to bleed. Don't forget. Our mission is to serve the Huanglong War."
"I, Zhang Zhen, only play a small role. The King of Han is the big one."
Lu Yanxun and Jin Tie both breathed a sigh of relief. This hard-won victory must not be dazzled by victory and ruin the good situation in vain.
"The general is wise."
"The Marquis is wise."
The two of them raised their fists in unison and called them wise. Lu Yanxun also rolled his eyes at Qimin.
Qimin quickly realized that he seemed to be too swollen, his face turned red, and he said no more. Reflect in your mind.
"Qimin. Qimin. You are usually a very calm person. Why are you so impulsive this time?"
"But. The general's victory really made my blood boil. I really want to keep winning and keep winning."
Follow Zhang Zhen's orders.
Lu Yanxun and Qi Min had two households of ten thousand.
Jin Tie, the general manager, quickly took action.
Although Tian Yuan gathered his troops, he launched another attack the next day. The Meng Yuan people's offensive was equally ferocious.
But the soldiers of Zhang Zhenjun who defended the city were not Wu Xia Ameng. Many soldiers wearing armor and with high morale appeared on the city.
Their defense was no longer precarious, but rather stable.
Tian Yuan ordered an attack on the city, but not only failed, but he suffered great losses. And the imperial court's reinforcements cannot be mobilized all at once.
Tian Yuan had to order to stop the attack and take a short rest.
But just staring like that made Tian Yuan feel uncomfortable again.
This morning. Tian Yuan let his soldiers come in, put on armor for himself, then walked out of the tent, got on his horse, took the horse shaft, led more than a hundred soldiers out of the camp gate, came to the front of Sushun City, raised the horse shaft, and shouted Said: "I am Wanhu Tianyuan. Zhang Zhen, do you dare to fight with me?"
"If you don't dare. You are a coward."
In the city.
Sushun Hou Mansion, in the study.
When the news came, Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun were looking at the map and discussing how to act.
After Zhang Zhen listened, he raised his head and said to Lu Yanxun: "Brother, what do you think?"
"Tian Yuan is at the end of his rope. He was called a coward a few times, but he's fine. Don't blame him. General, we should focus on important matters." Lu Yanxun said cheerfully.
"Yeah." Zhang Zhen was eager to try and fight against Meng Yuan Wanhu. But after listening to Lu Yanxun's words, he immediately made up his mind and nodded. Then he raised his head and said to the Han soldiers who came in to report: "Go and refuse Tian Yuan's invitation to fight as a general."
"The order goes down. No one is allowed to fight. Anyone who violates this will be killed without mercy."
"Yes." Han Bing responded, turned around and went down.
outside the city.
Tian Yuan rode his horse and waited for a long time. I learned that Zhang Zhen rejected the fighting general. He was immediately disappointed, but he did not give up. He said to the rider beside him: "Go to the scolding formation and scold the ugly ones."
"yes."
The pro rider responded. Then more than ten loud-mouthed riders rode forward together and arrived in front of the city wall. Calling formations were exchanged in Mongolian and Chinese.
"Zhang Zhen, you coward. Go home and drink your mother's milk."
"Zhang Zhen. Are you really Wu Nian's nephew? Is this the blood of the Liaodong Tigers? I think you are bragging."
"Zhang Zhen, you are still not a man..."
Tian Yuan's horsemen scolded them very harshly, and the defenders on the city were filled with indignation. They wished they could open the city gate immediately and slaughter these horsemen.
But no one dared to do this.
Military orders are like mountains.
No one dared to disobey Zhang Zhen's orders.
In the end, Tian Yuan also knew that his efforts were in vain. With a sigh, he withdrew his troops and returned to the military camp.
After that, Tian Yuan attacked the city intermittently, but none of them succeeded. Instead, he suffered great losses. He also requested the Mongolian and Yuan court to allocate new soldiers, money and food.
However, Lu Yanxun attacked and disturbed the grain road, which made him miserable.
The battle ahead is like this. The Meng Yuan court is not deaf or blind, and can no longer sit still.
