A Niu Lu Ezhen, who was subordinate to Abatai, cried to him, and Abatai's face turned blue when he said this.

The banner inlaid with yellow flags raised by his men and horses was like a large magnet, firmly attracting the attention of the Huaxia army.

The strongest attacks launched by the Huaxia Army every day are basically in this area and the surrounding areas, and there are even many times when the Huaxia Army simply ignores the other flags next to them.

A few Niu Lu under the command of Abatai, about no more than 1,000 armor soldiers and Yu Ding, now there are less than 400 people left, and even Niu Lu Ezhen under his command has been killed two.

Now, all the bulls under Abatai's men are already complaining, and the other bulls around them seem to be frightened as well. When digging the trench, he always controlled the progress of his own house, and never allowed himself to exceed the speed of the yellow flag.

All of this made Abatai feel that he himself seemed to be completely in a confrontation with the Huaxia Army.

He angrily left the cow and returned to his position on the front line, covered with protective measures, and the earth wall built close to the Houjin army was expanded in the trench.

On top of this dwelling, there are two layers of powerful defensive frames reinforced with rough wood from dismantled shield wagons, and those who don't know think this is a 19th-century artillery bunker.

Under the threat of various artillery shells fired by the Huaxia Army (special shells for smoothbore guns and shells) and the tactics of throwing grenades close at night, the soldiers of the Houjin Army invented all kinds of strange bunkers.

Even in order to save his life, even the anti-artillery holes on the side of the trench were dug out, and in this kind of fortification, more than two people could squat. If Chen Xin saw the situation here, he would definitely sigh at the strength of human creativity.

"This is XX XX, what kind of hell is it fighting!" Abatai slammed the tea bowl on the table to the ground.

Dolgon neither gave him manpower nor withdrew him, for if he continued to do so for another two days, there would probably not be many soldiers and horses left under his command, and he would all be turned into a bare pole.

At this time, there was a sound of muskets firing again overhead, and then, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, it was the firearms unit of Wuzhen Chaoha, taking advantage of the gap when the artillery fire of the Huaxia army stopped, rushing up to shoot.

Another Niu Lu Ezhen Bulong next to him walked over, and he also said with a sad face: "Master, we have just dug near the horse barrier, and half of our men and horses have already died, and more than half of the coat has been lost. ”

Abatai's gloomy face remained silent, and Bulon drove all the others away, then blew up the fire fold and lit a cigarette from the Chinese trade for Abatai.

Abatai smoked a cigarette, and there was a dizzy feeling in his head, as if the pressure on his body had decreased a lot. These cigarettes were smuggled by private smugglers from across the Yalu River.

Originally, the cigarettes were not too expensive in China, but after the smuggling channels changed hands, the price rose several times, in addition to cigarettes, there were many other Chinese goods sold to Houjin, so that Houjin's domestic silver began to lose on a large scale.

Before Huang Taiji was eliminated, he had repeatedly reprimanded the ministers Baylor, saying that they were playing with things, but where is the addiction to smoking so easy to quit, Huang Taiji's words not only had no effect, but even because of the preferences of the big men in the court, a large number of people followed suit, resulting in the gradual expansion of cigarette sales.

Especially after arriving on the battlefield, in the process of fighting with the Huaxia Army, the soldiers were under great mental pressure, and they urgently needed cigarettes to relieve the depression in their hearts, and because of the severance of trade on the battlefield, the price of cigarettes rose sharply again.

Now, the flags responsible for transporting grain and grass in the back, from the small leader to Yu Ding below, are secretly selling cigarettes, and every time they bring grain over, they will carry some with them.

It's just that on the battlefield, the price of cigarettes is not a matter of several times, it is simply dozens or hundreds of times higher, just like the price of gold grain in the period of food shortage.

Abatai also knew that this thing was produced by the enemy on the other side, but he didn't know what the price of cigarettes would be in Huaxia, he had heard it before, and he could even smoke cigarettes from the coat that had surrendered.

This incident subverted Abatai's imagination, and the price of cigarettes was very different.

Sometimes, he even thought about running to the earthen wall and asking Huaxia Jun on the opposite side if this cigarette could be bought and sold directly in the middle.

At this moment, listening to Bu Long's words, he said impatiently, "You want to be here as Lao Tzu? Today I went to look for Fourteen, but he just didn't allow me to retreat to rest, only saying that when the men and horses of the flags had not yet retreated, the yellow flag would retreat first, and it would give people a handle to ruin his reputation. ”

"Look at our three flags to deserve ······" Bu Long smacked his lips, shook his head and said, "When the first Khan was still there, we lost a lot of men, and the Great Khan never gave us troops at that time, but he himself kept building new cattle records."

Now, the first khan is gone, and the fourteenth Baylor is in charge, but he is still a virtue, as far as those cronies under his command are concerned, in the old days there were only thirty-one Niu Lu, but now, there are fifty Niu Lu.

He and Xian Khan kept saying that they wanted all flags to be equal, and they had always kept building a cow record for their henchmen, even if there was no Dingkou, they could build a Niu Lu with twenty or thirty households, and then add Ding to it.

Our few cattle records are bitter, until now, it has been only in and out, the slaves have many words, and the few cattle records that used to keep sticking to our side have now stopped listening to the master's ······"

"Alright, don't talk about it."

Abatai interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "Looking at Fourteen's current appearance, he won't let us go without bringing something out."

In short, this matter must not be delayed any longer, did you get the things you asked for last time when you went to Wuzhen Chaoha? What did they say, did he give or not give those gunpowders? ”

"He has always shirked it, saying that gunpowder is not easy to come by, and every pound is recorded, and if you want gunpowder, you must have the nod of Fourteen Baylor."

Abatai stood up with a snort, and slapped the small table in front of him with a "bang", and the simple wooden table top was almost falling apart by him.

"A mere Han dog dares to push back with Lao Tzu, where are the others? Lao Tzu personally went to meet him, the chief soldier, for a while. ”
