"Du Xun, this gelding, how dare he do this."

When Bao Yufeng heard that Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, Du Xun took more than 20,000 Ming troops from Daizhou to Taiyuan, and he was also extremely indignant.

"It's too late to say anything now, it's all because Ben Shuai easily believed the words of Du Xun before, which caused the current passive situation!"

Lu Xiangsheng really blamed himself.

"But Marshal, even if Du Xun takes away the men and horses of Daizhou, we still have General Qi Wei's support soldiers, so we shouldn't have to worry!"

"General Qi Wei's men and horses, this commander will let them leave Yanmen Pass after dawn."

"Why?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was too lazy to explain to Bao Yufeng.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng was really worried at this time!

The only three support soldiers he counted on in his hands were the 20,000 Ming army infantry in Daizhou, one was Qi Wei's men and horses, and the last one was Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry.

But now, Du Xun has taken away more than 20,000 Ming soldiers in Daizhou, and he can't let Qi Wei continue to stay in Yanmen Pass.

The two support armies are gone, and there are only more than 10,000 remnants left in his hands, guarding the Yanmen Gate, do you say that Lu Xiangsheng can not transfer more people from other places!

Although, Lu Xiangsheng guessed that after the failure of this attack, the Tartars would probably not storm Yanmen Pass again.

But this is just his guess after all, in case the Tartar does not play his cards according to common sense, he will attack again.

After Qi Wei led his troops to leave at dawn, with the 10,000 remnants of Lu Xiangsheng's current hand, it would be absolutely impossible to defend Yanmen Pass anymore.

As for Wu Sangui's Guanning iron cavalry, they were all cavalry, and it was impossible for Wu Sangui to agree to defend the city.

Moreover, at this time, Wu Sangui was leading the Guanning Iron Cavalry to encircle and suppress several bandits in the Xinzhou area, but he could not support.

This night was a sleepless night for Lu Xiangsheng, and it was also a sleepless night for Azige, Haoge and others outside the gate.

Lu Xiangsheng's side was worried, but in fact, Azig's side was also worried.

Compared with Lu Xiangsheng, Azig was worried about how to cross the strong pass of Yanmen Pass and kill in Taiyuan Mansion.

After all, Azig never forgot that the purpose of his army entering the customs this time was to plunder the population and wealth.

Now, they have been closed by Yanmen, and they have paid such a heavy price in casualties, if they still can't enter Taiyuan Mansion in the end, they will leave in disgrace.

Then after he returned to Guanwai, Huang Taiji couldn't spare him.

Therefore, at this time, Azig is not retreating, nor is he not retreating.

If you don't retreat, according to the current situation, Yanmen will not be able to fight at all; But if you retreat, where can you retreat?

They plundered all the way from Hebei, and then returned the same way, it is estimated that they will not be able to grab anything, and further north they will go to the grassland, and they will rob a hair!

Entering Taiyuan Mansion is the only best place for them to plunder.

Over the years, the Tartars have not entered the Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi Province to loot, and the Taiyuan Mansion is also the most prosperous mansion in the entire Shanxi, and the target chosen by the Tartars is right.

"Twelfth uncle, the casualties during the day have been counted, Bai Ze's Han army with a blue flag has killed more than 3,800 people and injured more than 1,300 people.

Zhao Tianda's Han army with red flags killed more than 3,300 people and wounded more than 1,100.

In addition, we and the Mongolian side also suffered more than 400 casualties, and we also lost 23 taels of building cars and 87 shield cars......"

Haug walked up behind Azig and reported to him on the casualties of the Qing soldiers during the day.

"What? Nearly 10,000 people were lost in one day? How is this possible! ”

When Azig heard Hauge's report, he also turned around sharply, his eyes widened, and he shouted.

"This is true, there shouldn't be much difference in the casualty statistics, this battle between Bai Ze and Zhao Tianda's two banners can be regarded as a big injury."

"Waste minions, all a bunch of waste."

Immediately, Azig roared angrily, cursing Bai Ze and Zhao Tianda for the incompetence of the Qing soldiers of the two banners, and vented his anger.

But to be honest, in this battle, Bai Ze and Zhao Tianda's Han army with blue flags and red flags had really done their best, and they were almost able to break through Yanmen Pass.

It's a pity that with the timely arrival of the White Dragon Army led by Qi Wei, the Qing soldiers still failed to succeed and paid heavy casualties.

According to such heavy siege casualties, Azig really did not have the courage to launch another strong attack on Yanmen Pass.

If you fight like this again, the Han army will be completely crippled with blue and red flags.

"Hey, are you really going to retire? But where are we going to retreat? ”

Azig was also quite helpless in his heart at this time, turned his face to look at Hauge, and asked.

"Uncle Twelve, don't worry, we've only been in the customs for a month, and there is still plenty of time to let us find an opportunity."

Just now Du Du came with news that he quietly evacuated Huairen the night before and went to Shuozhou overnight.

According to what he sent to inform him, Du Du wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of our Yanmen Pass to attract the main force of the Ming army, bypass Shuozhou, and sneak attack Ningwu Pass.

If Du Du can conquer Ningwu Pass, he can also open the passage into Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi. ”

"Oh? Du Du rushed to Ningwu Pass? Why didn't you report to me in advance? ”

Azig said coldly after hearing Hauge's words.

"Du Du also heard that our attack on the side of Yanmen Pass was blocked, and he was on Huairen's side, and Jiang Huang of Datong Town Headquarters did not dare to fight Du Du at all, but just blindly defended the city.

In this case, Du Du thought that a surprise attack on Ningwu Pass might be able to receive unexpected results. ”

Haug explained to Azig.

In fact, this is simply the result of the discussion between him and Hauge in private, hiding from Azig, but Hauge is afraid that Azig will think too much, and he doesn't dare to say it explicitly.

"Well, Du Du is not wrong to do this, if he can really attack and conquer Ningwu Pass and open up the passage for us to enter Taiyuan Mansion, he will be a great hero of our way, and go back to this king to personally ask the emperor for credit."

Azig said casually.

"Then let's withdraw our troops after dawn, withdraw to Yingzhou to rest, and wait for the news from Du Du's side, I hope there will be good news!"

Azig finally decided to withdraw his troops after dawn and leave Yanmen Pass.

"Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements."

After dawn, as soon as noon passed, the Qing troops stationed a few miles outside Yanmen Pass began to withdraw and leave.

At the same time, in Yanmen Pass, a small-scale riot finally broke out at this time.

The reason is very simple, as the soldiers of the Ming army woke up after dawn, many soldiers of the White Dragon Army who were the target yesterday shot and killed the soldiers of the Qing soldiers and the Ming army indiscriminately, and quickly spread the situation.

As a result, many soldiers of the Ming army began to hate the White Dragon Army, and even some Ming soldiers wanted to seek revenge from the White Dragon Army.

After all, among the thousands of Ming soldiers who were shot by the White Dragon Army yesterday, there are still many brothers and friends who are still alive, and of course they want to seek revenge on the White Dragon Army.

If it weren't for the fact that the White Dragon Army had already taken precautions in advance last night, they even went out of the customs to camp alone and pack up their baggage.

The Ming army was afraid of the bravery of the White Dragon Army, and I am afraid that after dawn, the conflict would have broken out.

Even so, as time went on, many Ming army generals came to Lu Xiangsheng to ask for severe punishment of Qi Wei.

These soldiers of the Ming army forgot that if Qi Wei hadn't led the army to support in time yesterday, perhaps the Qing soldiers had already conquered Yanmen Pass at this time, and most of them would have died.

Unfortunately, gratitude is a virtue that is easy to say, but there are very few things that can really be done.

At this time, these soldiers of the Ming army were not grateful because yesterday, Qi Wei led the army to support them, but they completely hated them because the White Dragon Army shot and killed the soldiers of the Ming army.

Human beings are like this sometimes, other people are very good to you, you can easily forget, but if others treat you badly, you will hold a grudge.

"Dashuai, Qi Wei is so hateful, he even killed his own people, he must not be spared, otherwise how can he be worthy of the more than 1,000 brothers killed by them!"

"That is, the surname Qi must explain to us, otherwise we can't let him go. I, Baiyu, will never be in the company of such people. ”

"That's right, if you don't associate with this kind of person, you must punish him severely."

Many Ming army generals found Lu Xiangsheng at this time and demanded that Qi Wei be severely punished.

Looking at the more than a dozen generals of the Ming army below coming together, demanding that Qi Wei be severely punished, Lu Xiangsheng's face was gloomy and he didn't speak for a long time.

After all, Lu Xiangsheng is the commander of the Ming army, and he can't easily excuse Qi Wei, otherwise it will chill the generals and soldiers of the Ming army.

On the contrary, Guan Ling next to him couldn't help it, pointed at these people and scolded: "You are really a group of white-eyed wolves!" ”

"Hey, General Guan, how do you speak, why are we white-eyed wolves, Qi Wei killed our people, what is the difference between him and the enemy."

"Hehe, if General Qi hadn't led the army to help in time yesterday, I'm afraid we would have either died in battle or fled now.

Qi Wei ordered to deal with our soldiers and Qing soldiers who were fighting together, and it was also helpless.

You people, it's not good to cross the river and tear down the bridge like this. ”

Guan Ling pointed to these Ming army generals and defended Qi Wei.

After those Ming army generals heard Guan Ling's words, they turned their heads one by one and talked in low voices.

A moment later, a Ming army general stood up and said to Guan Ling, "What General Guan said makes sense.

We also admit that we were able to hold Yanmen Pass yesterday, and General Qi Wei's timely arrival to help played a certain role.

But this is not the reason why they killed our soldiers, a thousand people, not killed by the Qing soldiers, but shot by Qi Wei's people.

Our soldiers couldn't accept it no matter what, and continued to fight with Qi Wei's men.

Maybe at any point, they'll turn their guns on us. ”

"That's right, I will never fight with them again, please order Qi Wei to be severely punished, and let Qi Wei's men and horses disarm, and we will seize them for the time being."

The generals of the Ming Army made such a ruthless proposal.

As a result, he was looked at like an idiot by Guan Ling, and said disdainfully: "Zhan Feng, are you all bird droppings in your brain?"

Do you think you have the ability to disarm General Qi's men?

If you really have this ability, you will take someone to disarm Qi Wei's men and horses, and you are still rambling here. ”

"You ......, Guan Ling, you are shielding Qi Wei, do you also think that Qi Wei is right to kill the soldiers of our army?"

The middle-aged Ming army general stared at Guan Ling angrily, and was so angry by Guan Ling's words that he began to pour dirty water on Guan Ling.

"Okay, shut up Ben Shuai."

Finally, Lu Xiangsheng spoke, and all the quarrels calmed down.

Immediately, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the generals of the Ming army, especially the general who proposed to disarm Qi Wei's White Dragon Army, and knew his thoughts clearly.

This guy just looks at the flintlock pistol in the hands of the White Dragon Army, and the iron-shelled mines and food they brought, and he wants to snatch it!

The soldiers of the Ming army under Lu Xiangsheng are not only those men and horses in Daizhou, but basically all the generals of the Ming army, all of whom are interested in the equipment and materials of the Red and White Dragon Army.

The contradictions and frictions between the two sides have never stopped, and if it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng's personal pressure, the conflict would have broken out long ago.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng was both angry and sad in his heart.

Lu Xiangsheng is angry because these guys don't have brains, if there is really infighting at this time, wouldn't it give Tartar a chance.

And Qi Wei has 10,000 horses in his hand, how strong is it, can't you guys see it with your eyes?

also asked the family to disarm, Lu Xiangsheng really smoked the Ming general who said this sentence, and he knew how good he was.

And Lu Xiangsheng's sadness is that he knows that these Ming army generals took the opportunity to attack Qi Wei, but they were actually selfish, but it was understandable.

It's really that they are too poor, not to mention the military salary, even their armor, the court has not changed it for many years.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng swept over everyone and said in a cold voice: "Qi Wei was sent by Lord Li to help us, and the mistakes he made, Ben Shuai can't punish him."

In this matter, Ben Shuai will tell Lord Li and ask him to punish Qi Wei.

Since you don't want to continue to fight side by side with others, then this commander will give an order to let Qi Wei lead his troops to leave. ”

"How can this work?"

"Yes."

"Report, marshal, General Qi sent a letter to you, and General Qi's men and horses are pulling out the camp outside the pass, preparing to evacuate."

At this time, a Ming sergeant ran in, reported to Lu Xiangsheng, and handed Lu Xiangsheng a handwritten letter from Qi Wei.

"What, Qi Wei is trying to escape, I can't let him go."

"Yes, we can't let him go like this, we're afraid he won't make it."

At this time, there were Ming generals who did not give up and shouted, but this time, the two clamoring Ming generals found that only the two of them were shouting, and the others were silent.

"What's wrong with you, why don't you make a sound, you're afraid of the surnamed Qi?"

The general of the Ming army who was shouting turned his head to look at the other Ming generals around him and said sarcastically.

"Come on, the people went out of the customs and camped last night, and now they are leaving, General Cai, if you have the ability, you can take people to chase them, it's useless to shout here."

As a result, this noisy general was beaten by his colleagues next to him.

"You ......"

"Okay, shut up, General Qi led the army away, but they left us with ten boxes of thunderbolts, three boxes of oil cans, and still the three thousand sets of cotton clothes they had in reserve.

To tell the truth, people are benevolent to us, so don't be ignorant. ”

Lu Xiangsheng raised the letter left by Qi Wei in his hand, said to the generals under him with a cold face.
