I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

"Musketeer Corps!"

Seeing the enemy approaching the firing range, Jiang Zuo immediately shouted out orders.

Then, drums sounded loudly on the city wall.

Hearing this order, more than a thousand soldiers armed with flintlock rifles aimed their weapons at the enemy.

"Boom boom boom!"

Thousands of flintlock rifles fired almost simultaneously, and explosions resounded through the sky again. The Anding cannons also bombarded the incoming enemy troops.

The flintlocks were withdrawn and the crossbowmen quickly replaced them.

For a time, Anding County’s defense was completely impenetrable.

At this moment, Chen Qingyun felt both nervous and shocked.

Jiang Zuo, you said you can't fight!

If these new weapons from Anding County can be equipped to the armies of Dayan, then Dayan's unification of the world will be just around the corner!

Today, the battle situation on the city wall is still stalemate.

"Prepare your swords, no barbarian can step onto the city wall!"

Jiang Zuo gave another loud order.

"My lord, be careful of their catapults!"

Yang Feng quickly reminded loudly.

The power of these large catapults of the Northern Barbarians should not be underestimated. If they are allowed to smash a hole in the city wall, it may very well become a breakthrough.

From afar, one could see the huge rock rising into the air and smashing down onto the city wall of Anding County.

A moment later, there was a loud bang and the huge rock hit the city wall, but only a small hole was smashed into the wall, and from a distance there seemed to be no damage at all.

At the same time, the enemy troops below the city had already approached the city wall, laid ladders, and climbed up desperately.

"kill!"

Jiang Zuo was extremely excited at this time and had no intention of retreating.

Soon, a hand-to-hand combat was about to take place.

The defensive momentum of the Anding Army has clearly declined.

The first Mobei barbarian stepped onto the city wall!

But soon, these barbarians were greeted by extremely sharp swords.

The sound of cannons, muskets, and the wailing and shouting of soldiers were endless.

The battle lasted for half an hour, but the outcome was still unclear.

Seeing the Northern Barbarian army attacking the Anding city wall so fiercely, Chen Qingyun was extremely anxious.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Anding Army did not retreat at all, and they used spears and scimitars to fight the greedy grassland people.

At this moment, clouds of dust suddenly rose in the distance outside the city.

To the east, it seemed that another army was attacking the flank of the Mobei army.

In an instant, the Mobei army's formation was in chaos.

The morale of the Mobei Army had already been reduced due to the unfavorable siege, and now reinforcements from Dayan were attacking from the flank, causing panic among the northern barbarians.

"It's reinforcements!"

The soldiers cheered loudly, and their morale was immediately boosted.

"woo woo woo woo……"

At this time, outside the city, the sound of horns was heard again.

This time, it was the Mobei people's order to retreat.

The defense of Anding City is far stronger than Iger had imagined. If they continue to attack, I'm afraid the entire Mobei army will be wiped out.

There was chaos outside the city.

"The barbarians are retreating!"

On the Anding city wall, the soldiers shouted in unison.

Jiang Zuo put down the sword in his hand and let out a long sigh.

Looking at the battle situation outside the city, Empress Chen Qingyun finally felt relieved.

Her gaze always stayed on Jiang Zuo in the distance.

Luckily he is okay...

Chen Qingyun knew very well that what really determined the outcome of this battle was not the reinforcements outside the city.

It’s the will of nearly 10,000 soldiers in Anding County and the terrible weapons in their hands!

Despite such a huge disparity in military strength, Jiangzuo was able to win such a great victory!

Even the proud empress felt some respect for Jiang Zuo at this moment.

I must take this man under my command.

The reinforcements outside the city were the Six Garrison Army under Yan Kang. As soon as they received the order, they rushed to Anding County to reinforce.

No matter what, today's defensive battle can be considered a great victory.

Jiang Zuo was not very happy either, he just felt relieved after surviving a disaster.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Jiang Zuo led his subordinates to the Anding County barracks.

At this moment in the barracks, the 2,600 garrison troops remained motionless, as if the defending battle just now had nothing to do with them.

Jiang Zuo angrily came to Wang Yingjie's tent and asked, "Why don't you send reinforcements?"

Seeing that Jiang Zuo was still alive, Wang Yingjie was slightly surprised: "My Six Towns Army has not received any orders, what reinforcements are there?"

In Wang Yingjie's eyes, what does the life and death of Anding Army have to do with him?

Snapped!

But at this moment, Jiang Zuo actually slapped Wang Yingjie in the face.

You have to know that Wang Yingjie was also a martial artist. As a great general of cavalry, he was slapped by Jiang Zuo and became dizzy and sat on the ground in embarrassment.

Everyone around was stunned.

"How dare you do that!"

Wang Yingjie was furious.

"Do you know how many brothers of my Great Yan army have lost because of your selfishness?"

Jiang Zuo asked sternly.

In this defending battle, the Anding Army suffered heavy casualties.

If Wang Yingjie could put aside past grudges and lead troops to reinforce, the Anding Army would not have been in such a difficult situation.

It is obvious that Wang Yingjie's pattern and vision are not worthy of sitting in the position of general.

"Someone! Drag him out and behead him!"

Jiang Zuo ordered in a cold voice.

Hearing this, even Jiang Zuo's subordinates were quite surprised and did not dare to step forward.

"You are not qualified to deal with this general!"

Wang Yingjie showed no fear at all, and even ordered the soldiers behind him to draw their swords. This posture seemed to indicate that he was ready to engage in a fight with Jiang Zuo.

"How dare you, a mere county magistrate, give orders to this general?"

Wang Yingjie gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes fierce.

Jiang Zuo stared into his eyes without retreating at all.

At this time, Chen Qingyun was observing not far away, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

She knew exactly who the loyal ministers and capable generals were.

The Great Yan Kingdom does not need such a domineering general.

She lowered her head and whispered something in Qiuyue's ear.

Qiuyue was surprised when she heard the empress's order, then she nodded and turned around to give the order.

"Get out of the way immediately, or I will be rude to you, General."

Wang Yingjie spoke arrogantly, saying that as a veteran of many battles, how could he possibly surrender to a county magistrate?

"The Thousand Cavalry Division has arrived."

Suddenly, I heard a deep voice. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw several fast horses rushing into the barracks.

The clothes and appearance of those people on horseback looked like those of the Thousand Cavalry Division.

"Qianqisi?"

Everyone knows that the Qianqi Division is an agency directly under the Emperor and has the power of life and death.

"Your Majesty's decree!"

Qianqisi said sternly.

Even the Six Garrison Army, which held the military power, had to kneel down and receive the order.

Jiang Zuo also knelt down to receive the order with some confusion and anger.

"Wang Yingjie delayed the battle, he will be punished by military law, escorted back to Beijing, and executed on a later date!"

"what?!"

The other officers and soldiers of the Six Garrison Army were all pale and shocked.

General Wang was, after all, the General of the Cavalry of the Six Garrisons Army. How could he be executed just like that?

"why why?"

Upon hearing the imperial edict, Wang Yingjie's legs suddenly went weak. Before he could object, he was arrested and tortured by the Qianqi Division.

Jiang Zuo watched Wang Yingjie being taken away expressionlessly, and could only marvel at the fact that the Qianqi Division arrived at such a good time.

I can only say that this person deserved it...
