The Ming army captured the city wall, and more than 30,000 siege troops rushed to the city, and the retreating Mongols retreated into the city. The next step is to fight in the streets.

However, the siege army heard the order to suspend the attack. Soon, officers at all levels received the order, were on guard and counterattacked and repaired on the spot! The soldiers who were red-eyed suddenly became noisy, and the officers also surrounded Qi Jiguang who came to the front line and asked to fight for one move to eliminate the remaining enemies!

, "There are too much blood today..." Qi Jiguang looked at the corpses piled up on the ground and whispered: "You can't let your brothers die in vain before the victory comes... There are at least six or seven thousand Mongolian soldiers in the city. If you fight in the streets in Dongsheng, where you are unfamiliar with your life, I wonder how many more people will die.

After hearing Qi Shuai's words, the soldiers immediately calmed down. The blood that was so overwhelmed gradually faded away, and they remembered that many brothers had died in the battlefield in one night. Thinking of those familiar faces that would never see each other again, the soldiers' resentment of their depression disappeared. Exhaustion and fear surged into their hearts. Many people burst into tears.

Qi Jiguang sighed lightly and ordered his subordinates to arrange the excessively damaged troops to return to the battalion to rest first, and ordered the soldiers of the heavy battalion to take over the city defense, treat the wounded, build fortifications overnight, set up firepower, and prepare for tomorrow's war.

That night, the city walls were as bright as day. The Ming army was busy, and the Mongolian army launched several counterattacks, but the Ming army, which was occupied by the geographically advantageous Ming army, was killed in a intensive shooting. After several attempts, they encountered a nail. Finally, they knew that in terms of the ability to defend the city, the Ming army was too much stronger than them.

Qi Jiguang was not worried that the Mongolian army could take back the city wall. But he still stood on the city wall all night. The casualties statistics have been reported. This siege from morning to night killed more than 3,800 soldiers. More than 6,000 people were injured, including 3,000 seriously injured. Fortunately, most of the wounded were only injured, fell and burned, and they were raised one winter and the spring next year will be a hero again.

, "What are you thinking about Yuan Jing? Liu Xian's voice sounded, and he could break the city in one day, and the veteran general was in a good mood.

, "The casualties are huge enough... Qi Jiguang whispered.

, "Are you siege the city? You must not use people to fill it in that time?... Liu Xian whispered: "I rebel in Pingbai Lotus Sect in Sichuan. I have to die in this number of people who attacked those thousands of people." He said with a smile: "It's a blessing that the Mongols don't defend the city, and there are people from the Military Information Department to help us, otherwise we can fill it in 20,000 people and get it down."

, "Yes", Qi Jiguang nodded and changed the topic: "I want to discuss tomorrow's affairs with you..."

, "I caught a turtle in the middle. What else can I make for a dilemma? The one who killed him is!" Liu Xian looked at him and said, "Yuan Jing, I think you have something to worry about...

Jiguang nodded and said, "I know this battle is costly. After I take down the whole city tomorrow, there will be a massacre. This kind of words from the mouth of the model soldier Qi Jiguang are enough to make people later. However, at this time, it seems that this is as normal as drinking water and breathing.

One "one" one, one "one", one, one "one" one, one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one" one "one" one "one, one "one" one "one, one "one" one "one, one, one, one "one" one

How to make soldiers obey commands and fight bravely is a big problem that has troubled the generals of this era.

In the eyes of many literati, fighting on the battlefield and defending the country is the obligation of every soldier.

No matter how you treat these soldiers in normal times, just send them to the battlefield at critical moments and sing a few words, for the sake of the country and the nation, and then everyone can rush forward and defeat the enemy.

This is all nonsense. Since the Song Dynasty, the country's autocratic power to defend against military generals is like guarding against thieves, making soldiers ignorant of generals. Generals do not know soldiers, and they have no emotional foundation and no benefits for the soldiers if they win. Instead, they have caused injuries and even lost their lives. At the critical moment, who is willing to work for you?

You have to give them the reason to follow you. In addition to paying them on time to care about their lives. In addition to taking them to win more battles and killing less people, you also have to pay attention to the psychology of the officers and soldiers. For example, after this fierce battle to break the city, the soldiers were eager to use a massacre to vent their agitation. The officers also hope to reward their subordinates through looting and rape. Otherwise, no one will charge desperately next time the city is siege.

Although Qi Jiguang was disgusted with such barbaric behavior, he would not stop it. In his opinion, the Mongols were the enemies of life and death. The wild beasts and barbarians were forced to compensate the soldiers who made huge sacrifices.

However, he remembered that on the night before the war, Lord Shen invited himself to have a meal alone. He told himself to control his subordinates' emotions and not to kill women and children indiscriminately. Especially not to massacre the city after the war. Otherwise, it would seriously affect the overall planned strategy.

Seeing Qi Jiguang's hesitant expression, Liu Xian guessed his thoughts and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "You have to think about the consequences!"

Qi Jiguang remained silent. He could not say that it was Shen Mo's meaning, so he had to take the blame himself.

"Even Confucius said, how can we repay kindness with kindness?" Liu Xian said sternly: "Have you forgotten Shizhou City?" It was three years ago that Altan slaughtered Shizhou, which made the court determined to completely solve the problem of border problems in the north.

, "Of course I haven't forgotten... Qi Jiguang sighed and said, "I won't say anything, when will the revenge be repaid? I just want to ask one question, Dongsheng City has been taken down. What should I do next?...

, "Of course, according to the plan", using this place as a base, sent cavalry to harass the Mongolian troops, making them unable to gain a foothold in the trap.

"What if we drive the Mongols out of Hetao?" Qi's army said slowly: "They are not Han people, and there is no burden of leaving their hometowns. They can escape thousands of miles away from our army." He paused: "And what about us? It's just that in order to restore Hetao, we have prepared for three years and spent the whole country to achieve the momentum today. You and I know that if the Mongols stay away from Hetao, we will not be able to pursue them."

"Then chase the Yellow River," Liu Xian said: "Build a castle on the north bank to restore the defense line of the country!"

"Then you have to fight Altan first." Qi Jiguang said: "We don't have that strength now!"

"Are there any Xuan Da's soldiers?" Liu Xian snorted, "And what does this have to do with slaughtering the city?"

"If it cannot be solved on the battlefield," he cannot cause trouble for the Ge Lao." Qi Jiguang said sincerely: "We still need to control the behavior of the army."

"I can't get what I can't get on the battlefield, and I can't get what I can't get anywhere else!" Liu Xian said in a bad tone.

Just as Qi Jiguang was about to say something, he heard a gentle voice not far away saying, "Can you listen to the officials say something?"

Hearing the voice, the two quickly turned around and fisted and said, "Please give me advice." The person who came was the Imperial Commander of the Army, the Right Minister of the Ministry of War and the Left Chief Censor of the Censorate. Although the Ming Dynasty values ​​culture over military affairs, the two long-standing generals, a mere fourth-rank civil servant is not taken seriously. Even if he is a military supervisor, they would not be so respectful. What they care about is another identity of this person... He is a Jinshi of the Bingchen Certificate of Jiajing" and a silent friend of the same year. It is said that this person has a beautiful heart and a talent for stabilizing the country and maintaining the country. Naige Chen admired and valued the arm. This time he asked him to serve as military supervisor, which represents an incomparable trust. However, Zheng Luo has always been very low-key. Just like an invisible man, he just observed silently and never interfered in anything in the army, so that Qi Jiguang and Liu Xian habitually ignored the military supervisor. They did not think about discussing with him when they encountered problems.

But Zheng Luo, after all, walked out of the head of the civil servants, was faintly the spokesperson of the old man Chen Ge. If he didn't speak, he would stop. As soon as he spoke, both generals had to listen carefully: "The two people heard the conversation just now. The focus of the dispute was that if they did not indulge in the massacre of the city, they could not explain to the officers and soldiers." Zheng Luo said lightly: "But the army that burned, killed, plundered, and plundered, like beasts." Is it still the Qi family army? If the two people indulge in the massacre of the city, where is the general's discipline placed, and how can the officials report to the court?"

"The court will understand," Liu Xian is an old man. How can you not hear it? Although Zheng Luo said one or two, it seems that the focus is on Qi Jiguang, but in fact," he is just helping Qi Jiguang persuade him.

"But no matter how great you two make, they must resign." Zheng Luo said lightly: "You should also know that many ministers in Jingjing are very troubled about the expedition to Hetao this time. Although they are forced by the attitude of several cabinet masters, they dare not object to the reconciliation, but they can still do it by opening their eyes wide and taking advantage of the situation to find a place."

"This..." Liu Xian said in a muffled voice: "Have you not avenged the revenge in Shizhou City? How can I explain it to the army?"

"The affairs of Shizhou City are not done by traps, but have a wrongdoing and a debt. "If you want to massacre the city, you have to go to Hohhot." Zheng Luo whispered: "As for the army that attacked the city today, the court can pay for rewards. Is this possible?"

"How much can it be paid?" Liu Xian narrowed his eyes.

"How much do you think is suitable?" Zheng Luo's tone was calm," he said in a tit-for-tat way.

"One million taels, can you afford it?" Liu Xian snorted sarcastically.

"Yes." Zheng Luo nodded and said, "First pay for advances from the military pay." How about after the supply line is opened, then let the side deliver it?"

"This..." The amount of one million was called out by him. Liu Xian couldn't break his promise and could only say in a muffled voice: "It's no basis for speaking."

"I can make a promise in front of the entire army." Zheng Luo said lightly: "And the property in the city is not taken away by the court, and you will all be distributed to the soldiers. How about it?"

"Well..." Liu Xian vomited a deep breath and said, "Does the court plan to break a city and reward one million silver?"

"What's wrong?" Zheng Luo smiled and said, "If Hohhot can be taken down, I think the cabinet will not be stingy with a mere million silver."

Liu Xian looked dark, he knew "that was impossible."

一凵一“一“一“一“一“一“一“一“一“一“一“一“一“一“一“一凵一“一“一,一“一“一“一“一,一“一“一“一“一“一“一“一“一“一“一”

At dawn, the cannon that had been fired all night suddenly stopped. This made the Mongols who were bombed and had nowhere to hide immediately, because according to common sense, the Ming army troops were entering the city to fight.

However, after waiting for a while, I did not see the Ming army launching a large-scale attack. Instead, unexpectedly, several captured women came back. They brought a handwritten letter from the commander of the Ming army Qi Jiguang, which read: "Our army seized the city defense and captured the turtle in the jar, and used my troops to annihilate you in one fell swoop. However, my heavenly soldiers are kind and righteous, and I can't bear to kill more people. I'll let you wait for a way out and don't go against my heavenly dynasty in the future. Many generals didn't understand this decision. They surrounded them and talked about something. They just confiscated the guy and killed them and left.

But Qi Jiguang patiently explained to his generals that this was a very wise decision, because at this time, Dongsheng City had been conquered, the enemy had been annihilated, and the strategic purpose had been fully achieved. What is needed most at present is to gain time to renovate the troops and strengthen the city defense to prevent the counterattack of various Mongolian troops. There are still five or six thousand desperate people in the city, as well as women and children who have great hostility to our army. The hard attack will not only take energy, but also cause great casualties, and it may change over time, so negotiation is most appropriate.

Because of Qi Jiguang's great prestige, the generals did not dare to question his judgment. But in fact, what they were concerned about was not whether to negotiate or not, but whether there was a chance to let their subordinates retreat. So although no one objected, they all refused to leave.

"You are fighting beautifully in this battle... At this time, the military supervisor Zheng Luo said: "Geor Shen has a word first. If you successfully capture Dongsheng City, you will announce the reward this time... He deliberately paused, which made everyone extremely curious. Then he shouted: "One million taels of silver!". It immediately caused a shocking cheer. One million taels, how much does it cost!

Looking at Zheng Luo who was surrounded in the middle, Liu Xian rolled his eyes depressedly. After agreeing to the other party, he turned around and realized that the one million taels of "this guy is really a slippery person" were originally prepared by the court to reward the officers and soldiers, but he used it to offer Buddha and make a big fuss. He really bullied the soldiers' honest eyes!

In fact, one million taels sounds terrifying, but it’s a big splash on the head of a hundred thousand troops. And the officers must take more. It’s good that ordinary soldiers can get five or six taels of silver. It’s really generous, but it won’t make these officers a fool, right? General Liu couldn’t help but complain, but he didn’t expect that he was fooled last night…

These million taels were like a bombshell, and they nodded in everything Zheng Luo said, and finally agreed to his three rules in a confused manner...

One "one" one, one "one", one, one "one" one, one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one" one "one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", the Mongolians thought they would die, but they never thought that the Ming army would let them go. At this time, the princess who was in charge of the battle was seriously injured on the battlefield, and was in a coma. Noyandala also exhausted his courage yesterday. At this moment, he was like grabbing a life-saving straw, and quickly asked someone to reply: I am willing to retreat. I offer the treasures I have hidden, please do not send anyone to intercept them. It means. We are willing to surrender, and all the gold, silver and jewelry belong to you, but please give us a high hand. Don't take the opportunity to insult us.

Qi Jiguang immediately agreed and ordered people to open the north gate and give them an hour to leave the city. Each person was allowed to ride only one horse and carry weapons. He was not allowed to bring luggage for two hours, close the door and let the dog go, and no one could leave. The confidence man started to check the time when he was sent.

The north gate had been cleared out last night and slowly opened, waiting for the Mongols to leave.

Under this countdown to death, the Mongolians quickly agreed and the two sides reached an agreement. Under great alert, the Mongolians held weapons and gathered from hidden places, helped the elderly and the young, gradually retreated, and withdrew from their Jinong City.

The Ming army indeed kept their promises and did not take the opportunity to attack when the other party left the city. However, when they opened Jimong City and were finally ready to breathe a sigh of relief, the Ming army's cavalry came from both sides and soon surrounded the Mongols.

Because beasts are still fighting, it is difficult to deal with, but when the trapped beasts are released, it is easy to deal with. After the Mongolian army surrendered, they have lost all morale. Seeing the black muzzle of the Ming army, they even lost their strength to raise the bow and arrow. Where can they still have the will to resist? They just shouted loudly there for the Ming army to not keep their promises, and they were liars.

, "We are not in the same system as the city. They are infantry and cavalry." Liu Xian, who had been depressed for a long time, finally laughed happily and said, "You paid the ransom to them, but we have nothing to do."

, "But we have no money anymore... The Mongolians said grief and anger.

, "Then you will pay for it!... Liu Xian smiled grimly and said, "Now you two have the choice, either to die to make me happy, or to hand over all your heads and let me exchange for rewards."

The Mongolians were in agitation, and it was obvious that Liu Xian's words made them upset. The Ming army waited for a while, then fired a gun into the sky and urged them to make a decision quickly.

Just when the Mongolians were unable to make a decision. Noyandala, the Mongolian Jinnong, who has always shown cowardice, stood up and said to Liu Xian: "I am Jinnong, second only to the Khan on the grassland. I will follow you, but please let my tribesmen go...

Liu Xian looked at the military intelligence agent's secret agent beside him, and nodded when he saw the other party, and knew that it was not Li Daitao Zombie. He then smiled grimly and said, "This weight is back to the well, tie it up."

, "Let's wait!" A short blade slid out of Noyandala's sleeve and pointed at her neck and said, "Please let my tribe go first!...

His actions moved the clansmen very much, and many people stood up and demanded that they live and die with him.

"Go away your mother, I don't care about food." Liu Xian waved his hand impatiently. The cavalry made way out. The Mongolian troops gradually left, but some cavalry still couldn't leave and asked to stay and serve Ji Nong.

Liu Xianli ignored them. Look at Noyandala and said, "Put down the knife," and scolded, "Why did you think I believed it? You are obviously a fearful person...
