At this time, all the generals at the top of the city had already arrived. Seeing Luo Xin coming up and saluting one by one, Admiral Zhang blushed and said:
"My lord, under the continuous harassment of the prairie coalition forces last night, I'm afraid they didn't sleep well all night. They probably won't attack the city today. My lord is wise, I can't wait."

All the generals also spoke one after another, praising Luo Xin for his wisdom and martial arts, Luo Xin waved his hands with a smile and said:

"Huang Taiji naturally won't attack the city today. What they have to do is to retreat to the distance that the crossbow arrows can't shoot. He is not stupid enough to suffer harassment every night."

"Hahaha..." All the soldiers laughed again.

Luo Xin came to the side of the city wall and looked towards the grassland camp. Seeing that the grassland cavalry had already risen and packed their luggage, food and grass, Luo Xin became playful and said to the surrounding soldiers:
"Everyone shout with me!" Then he summoned up all his strength and shouted: "Back!"

"Back!" All the soldiers around shouted together.

"Back!" The unknown soldiers in the distance saw Luo Xin and the others shouting, so they also shouted.

"Retire!" More and more Ming soldiers shouted, and in the end, almost all the Ming soldiers shouted a word.

"retreat!"

This sound alarmed the people in the capital, and it was also heard by Emperor Jiajing in the palace.Emperor Jiajing immediately shouted:

"Explore!"

Immediately someone left in a hurry.

"retreat!"

All the soldiers in the capital were still shouting in a neat and rhythmic manner. In the grassland camp outside the city wall, Huang Taiji and a group of tribal leaders turned very ugly.They really didn't want to retreat, but they couldn't help it. Huang Taiji flicked his horsewhip fiercely and shouted:
"Retreat! Retreat to camp outside the Land of Three Arrows!"

"retreat!"

There was another shout from above the city wall, and with this shout, the grassland coalition army began to set up camp and retreat.

"Hahaha……"

The unscrupulous laughter of the Ming army came from the top of the city. Amidst the laughter, the morale of the grassland coalition army dropped rapidly.

"In ancient times, Zhang Yide repelled Cao's army, but now Lord Luo repelled the grassland coalition army. Your lord is mighty." Admiral Yu immediately flattered him.

"Your Excellency is mighty!" All the generals also flattered one after another.

"Deng Deng Deng..." A eunuch ran into the imperial study room, knelt down in the tunnel and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Luo stopped drinking at the top of the city and drove back the grassland coalition forces."

"Huh?" Emperor Jiajing blinked, doubts appeared on his face and said: "Tell me more in detail."

"The servants haven't checked it out yet, but they just know that Lord Luo uttered the word 'back' at the top of the city, and the prairie coalition forces retreated. Detailed news will come back in a while."

At this point, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door, and an eunuch hurried in again, knelt down in the tunnel and said:

"His Majesty……"

When Emperor Jiajing finished listening to the report, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he waved his hands to let the two eunuchs go down. At this time, he already had a feeling in his heart, that is, with Luo Xin, the capital is worry-free.

but……

But he couldn't be happier in his heart.

outside the city.

The grassland coalition forces have retreated to the land of three arrows and have begun to set up camp. The morale of the entire grassland coalition forces is very low.In the first large tent of the Chinese army that was built, Huang Taiji and the chiefs of the tribes sat there, everyone's face was very solemn.

Before the war to attack the capital began, the grassland coalition forces had already lost more than [-] soldiers, and forced the grassland coalition forces to retreat again, delaying the time to attack the city.

Most importantly, the food and grass they grabbed in a hurry was only enough to feed an army of 14 for ten days, but they had wasted a day before attacking the capital. Only enough to feed for eight days.

Through these few days of confrontation, the grassland tribes realized that the capital city is not so easy to attack. With Luo Xin around, the difficulty has been multiplied several times.

eight days……

Can the capital be captured in eight days?
If you can't capture the capital within eight days, you will know what the result of waiting for the grassland coalition forces will be.

There was silence in the big tent, for a long time, Huang Taiji said: "We have to be prepared to attack the capital for a long time, so we have to allocate a part of our troops to continue to grab food from the surrounding areas."

The patriarchs nodded one after another, and Turan said with anger on his face: "The people of Daming are despicable, they are all cowards. I don't think it will take us eight days. As long as we really start to attack the city, the soldiers of Daming will be miserable." Huang Taiji, how about we start attacking the city tomorrow?"

Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him for a while, finally nodded and said: "Okay, tomorrow you will lead the headquarters to attack the capital."

"Okay!" He Turan picked up his glass and drank it down: "Brothers, Turan and I will definitely break through the capital tomorrow!"

Huang Taiji held up his wine glass and said: "I wish you great success, when our grassland army will enter the capital and slaughter the city!"

"Slaughter the city!"

"Slaughter the city!"

"Slaughter the city!"

Everyone raised their glasses one after another, shouted three times in a row, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Above the head of the city.

Luo Xin looked at the busy appearance of the prairie coalition forces outside the city, turned around and walked down the city, saying:
"Everyone, rest too, get up early tomorrow and prepare for battle."

Everyone tensed up, looked at each other, followed Luo Xin to leave, and the air began to be filled with tension.

"Datong is here!"

A team of cavalry escorted a lot of food, grass and ordnance towards Datong. This team was Zhong Jinhatun's team. Before they left the grassland camp, they deliberately fell behind. They were eager to attack the capital, but no one paid attention to their team of less than 2000 people, and even those who noticed just laughed at them, so their team gradually fell behind, out of touch with the army, and finally Turn around and leave.

After leaving, they searched for a secret place, hid the grain, grass and ordnance, and left most of the soldiers behind, only a small number of people followed Zhong Jinhatun and Lu Zhonglian far away on the grassland After the camp, we saw the defeat of the grassland coalition forces.After that, they returned all the way, hurriedly returning to the grassland with food, grass and ordnance.

At this time, the clansmen like Zhong Jinhatun were deeply thankful that they did not follow Huang Taiji to attack the capital, otherwise at this time, not to mention how many of their clansmen would die, even the food, grass and weapons would be lost. They have been busy for two months.Now that they have these grains and weapons, their strength has greatly increased, and at this time the grassland is empty, they can easily attack various tribes and take them into their own hands.

Lu Zhonglian glanced at the dilapidated Datong, and shouted with a gloomy face: "Don't stop, go to Yinlong River immediately."
