"Withdraw, withdraw!"

In the shouts of a famous Han army with a white flag general, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Han army with a white flag who were attacking the city withdrew one after another.

"General Wei, this time it was the general's mistake, and today's incident should have personally asked the prince for his guilt.

I'm sorry for the damage caused to your department. ”

Bu Shunye was riding on the horse at this time, facing Wei Yan in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, it's serious."

"However, this temptation of your ministry is not completely meaningless.

At least through the tentative attack just now, we can be sure that the defenders in Dezhou City at this time are not ordinary Ming troops, but the elite 'White Snake Army' under Li Zixiao. ”

Bu Shunye was still looking for the wrong command of his impulse just now, looking for the stairs.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what my lord said."

Wei Yan said flatteringly on the surface, but in fact, he was already cursing Bu Shunye in his heart, scolding him for being blind in command.

"Damn, just command blindly, and say such a high-sounding reason.

In order to verify whether the city is a White Snake Army, I let Lao Tzu lose hundreds of soldiers in vain, I Cao. You. Ancestors! ”

Wei Yan cursed Bu Shunye in his heart, but he still looked respectful on the surface.

"General Qiyu, the soldiers have all withdrawn."

When the soldiers of the Han army besieging the city were withdrawn, a leader ran to Wei Yan and knelt down to report.

"yes, I see. You go back and count the number of people, see how many people have been lost, treat the wounded, suspend the siege, and camp on the spot. ”

Wei Yan tilted his head slightly, and said in a deep voice to the leader behind him.

"Lord Bushunye, what should the slave do next, please instruct the adult."

After waiting for the leader behind him to retreat, Wei Zhengxin turned his head, looked at Bu Shunye, and asked.

"Just do as you just ordered, suspend the attack on Texas City, and your troops will camp outside the city on the spot.

Ben will go to ask the prince now, and see how the prince decides, whether to fight or withdraw at that time, Ben will send someone to inform your ministry again. ”

"Yes, my lord, the minion obeys."

"Let's go!"

Thundered!

A moment later, this Tartar Zheng White Banner Jia Lajing Zhang, named Bu Shunye, waved his hand, led more than a thousand Tartar Zheng White Flag cavalry, turned and left.

"General, have we counted our casualties?"

Not long after the Tartar cavalry left, a leader came over and reported to Wei Yan.

"How many casualties?"

"Returning to the general, our army's siege just now suffered a total of 327 casualties, of which 185 were killed and the rest were wounded.

But half of the wounded were hit by lead bullets, and most of them needed to be amputated, so I'm afraid ......"

The last words of the leader didn't come out, but of course Wei Yan understood.

Once hit by lead bullet in the limbs, although it can save his life, he has to amputate his limbs, and even if such a wounded person is healed, he can only leave the army.

"Damn! With such a little effort, Ben Jiang lost more than 300 people, which is simply ...... I'm angry. ”

Wei Yan's eyes were red at this time, his face was hideous, and he said indignantly.

"This firearm of the White Snake Army really lives up to its name, if there is no cloud car to carry our musketeers, plus the suppression of artillery.

Our attempt to capture such a fortified city is a fool's dream. ”

After roaring for a long time, Wei Yan slowly calmed down, looked at the towering and upright Texas City in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

As the Han army outside the city retreated with the white flag, a burst of cheers erupted from the city walls of Texas, and the soldiers of the White Dragon Army were celebrating their victory in the first battle.

In this offensive and defensive battle of less than half a day, Qin Zhen's side only suffered more than 40 casualties, two-thirds of which were killed by the firecrackers who followed behind the white flag of the Han army.

Wei Yan had 1,500 musketeers under his command, and when he attacked the city just now, he only sent 500 men to follow the attacking infantry and be responsible for suppressing the white dragon musketeers on the city wall.

But unfortunately, the number of their firearms is far less than that of the White Dragon Army on the city wall, and they need to shoot from their backs, so the shooting is also larger.

But even so, they still killed a lot of White Dragon Army soldiers, and if it weren't for those archers and firecrackers, most of Wei Yan would not even be able to kill the White Dragon Army alone today.

Syllable!

"Dog minion, who let you make a claim and ordered Wei Yan's Han army to attack Texas under a white flag.

Didn't this king remind you a long time ago that once you find a city where the White Snake Army is stationed, you must not attack it without authorization.

Bu Shunye, you take the words of this king as the wind in your ears, right? ”

At this time, Bu Shunye, who had returned to report the situation in Texas to Dolgon, walked up to Dolgon's reprimand, leaving a five-finger mark on his right cheek.

Bu Shunye was trembling and kneeling in the big tent, listening to Dolgon's reprimand, he didn't dare to raise his head and didn't say a word.

Bang bang bang!

"Lord Wang, it was a mistake made by the slave for a while, and I asked the prince to punish him, and the slave never complained."

Bu Shunye slammed his head against the hard ground several times and said to Dorgon.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that you have followed this king for many years and are loyal, this king would have to punish you severely today."

Dolgon snorted coldly, glared at Bu Shunye, and said.

Immediately, Dolgon fell into thought, and said to himself: "Li Zixiao's men and horses are now refusing to defend Texas City, and they want to take Texas by force, which is a bit troublesome!"

Forget it, since Li Zixiao wants this city, it's good for you.

This king doesn't care about just one city, this king wants to see, there are so many cities in Daming Shandong, you can keep a few. ”

Immediately, Dolgon looked back at Bu Shunye, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Pass the order, our army will bypass Texas City and not attack it again."

The army continues to move south, to plunder other Daming cities, you go down and arrange. ”

After hearing Dolgon's words, Bu Shunye was excited: "Yes, the minions will go down to arrange, and the army will bypass Texas." ”

After Bu Shunye left, Dolgon's face was also gloomy, and he whispered to himself: "Li Zixiao, this king believes that you are about to make a move."

I've been holding back until now, are you finally going to meet, this time this king won't give you another chance. ”

Immediately, Dorgon said to the henchman next to him, "Give Dorgon an order to act as planned."

On the way to Zhending Mansion, the bigger the noise, the better, and then according to the agreed time, lead the army to go around in a circle and enter Dongchang Mansion.

This time, this king wants to play a trick with Li Zixiao's 'Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang'. ”

"Yes, my lord, the minion has written it down." A Tartar cronie behind Dolgon nodded in response.

"By the way, calculate the time, the first batch of prisoners and money and food that we sent back from the north half a month ago should have been out of the customs at this time.

How are the second batch of civilian prisoners and money and food sent back? ”

Hearing Dolgon's inquiry, the Tartar cronie behind him immediately stood up and replied respectfully: "Lord, news came yesterday that the first batch of civilian prisoners we escorted have been released.

And the second batch of 30,000 prisoners to be escorted back, there is still a shortage of about 4,000 at this time, and all the money and food are loaded, and once the number of prisoners arrives, we can set off. ”

"No, Li Zixiao's 'White Snake Army' has appeared, just in case, let the second batch of escort teams set off in advance, and send the second batch of prisoners and money and food out of the customs as soon as possible."

Dorgon shook his head, changed his mind, and said.

"Yes, lord, the slave will go down and make arrangements."

When his confidants left, Dolgon was the only one left in the big tent, and he took a sip of goat's milk tea, his face was grim, and he fell into deep thought.

When Dorgon entered the customs, he made a series of regulations.

For the sake of prudence, he did not use their previous plundering methods this time, but plundered wildly in the Ming Dynasty, and then transported all the captured people, money, grain, and jewelry back to the customs in one go.

This time, Dolgon adopted the method of 'ant moving', and after every 30,000 people were captured, he would send a team of more than 1,000 horsemen to escort those people north and out of the customs.

The advantage of this method is that if they don't fight well in the battle and lose the battle, they won't lose their money.

It is precisely because of Li Zixiao's White Dragon Army that Dolgon, who is rebellious and good at fighting, has to be so cautious.

At the same time, at this time, Dolgon was also calculating Li Zixiao, thinking about how to annihilate the main elite of the White Dragon Army in Li Zixiao's hands.

Therefore, before Dolgon knew that Li Zixiao had led the White Dragon Army north to participate in the war, he deliberately divided his troops into three routes in Cangzhou.

This is Dolgon's deliberate flaw for Li Zixiao again, hoping to attract Li Zixiao to take the initiative to lead the army to attack them, and lead Li Zixiao's men and horses to the field for a decisive battle.

As for whether Li Zixiao will be fooled, Dolgon is not too sure.

At the same time, when Qin Zhen won a small victory in Texas, the messenger he sent to Jinan to deliver a letter to Li Zixiao also arrived in Jinan City and personally handed a letter written by Qin Zhen to Li Zixiao.

"The Tartars have divided their troops in Cangzhou and divided them into three routes, and now their middle route army has been killed outside the city of Texas."

After reading the letter sent by Qin Zhen, Li Zixiao said to his generals.

"The Tartars really divided their troops? Haha, sir, this is our chance. ”

After hearing Li Zixiao's story, Li Yan on the side was the first to get excited and shouted excitedly.

"That's right, if the Tartar army of 80,000 was huddled together before, without dividing the troops, it would not be easy for us to find an opportunity to break it separately.

But now that the Tartars are dying by themselves, they dare to divide the 80,000 army into three in front of our White Dragon Army, if we don't take the opportunity to kill him, I'm really sorry for the Tartars! ”

Han Tong also said excitedly.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up and send troops, do it, kill those dog tartars, Lao Tzu's copper hammer has not been stained with blood for a long time.

Sir, if you really attack the Tartars, your subordinates must be pioneers. ”

Li Tianba didn't think much about it, he only hoped that Li Zixiao would be able to start the war soon, and then he would have a battle to fight.

"Tianba, don't be impatient, there will be a battle for you this time.

But Benjue always felt that the division of troops in Cangzhou by the Tartars was very strange, and Benjue needed to send someone to investigate in detail.

This battle is very important to us, and we must not be reckless, let alone lose. ”

Li Zixiao comforted Li Tianba and said.
