"Ahhh

Outside the Yanmen Pass, a sea of fire turned into a sea of fire, and a large number of Qing soldiers were covered by fierce flames, turning into burning men one by one, screaming and wailing everywhere.

At this time, the Qing soldiers' tackling of key problems was seriously hindered.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, but the gate of the wild goose was closed, and there were torches everywhere.

"Lord Wang, you can't fight anymore, the reinforcements of the Ming army have arrived, and it seems that it should be the musketeers under Li Zixiao.

They are armed with a lot of flintlock pistols and thunderbolts, and now they have burned all our buildings with fire oil, and if this battle continues, we will run out of blue flags! ”

Finally, with Bai Ze and Zhao Tianda, the fifth batch of 2,000 people sent to attack the key players was defeated and retreated in less than an hour.

Bai Ze and Zhao Tianda couldn't hold on any longer, and came to Azig again and begged.

"Yes, Lord Wang, please order the withdrawal of the troops, save some vitality for my two banners, if we continue to fight like this, we will really run out."

If that's the case, when the prince goes back, it's not easy to explain to the emperor! ”

After Bai Ze finished speaking, Zhao Tianda next to him also knelt on the ground and continued to plead with Azig.

At this moment, Azig, with a gloomy face, looked at the Yanmen Pass in front of him, and at this time, the Qing soldiers attacking outside the pass were basically defeated, and the screams became the main theme.

Seeing such a scene, Azig actually knew in his heart that this time they had failed again.

"One step away, just one step away, it's Li Zixiao's people again, why is this person disrupting the situation everywhere.

Didn't Li Zixiao's army fight Dolgon in Shandong? How can you still run to Shanxi, bad for the good things of this king. ”

Azig gritted his teeth and said, at this time, he finally realized the hatred of his two younger brothers, Dorgon and Dord, for Li Zixiao.

"Twelfth uncle, most likely Li Zixiao sent a part of his troops to assist Lu Xiangsheng to come to Shanxi to stop us.

Li Zixiao's main force should still be in Shandong, which will not be wrong.

However, Bai Ze and Zhao Tianda are right, the current situation is indeed unfavorable to our army.

With those flintlock gunners under Li Zixiao guarding Yanmen Pass, it is impossible for us to conquer Yanmen Pass.

If it continues to be consumed in this way, it will only make the Han army inlaid with blue and red flags and pay greater casualties.

In that case, if we go back, we really can't explain it to our father.

Uncle Twelve, order the withdrawal of the troops, let's find another way. ”

Hauge, who was next to him, also persuaded Azig at this time.

By this time, the Tartars had already obtained flintlock pistols, and even with the help of the red-haired ones, they would soon be able to make flintlock pistols.

Because of this, the princes and princes of the Tartars like Azig and Haug now know a lot about the power of the flintlock pistol.

They had seen the terrifying rate of fire of the flintlock pistol, and knew that the musketeers were too difficult to defend the city.

Therefore, at this time, Azig also knew that it was already very difficult to lay down the Yanmen Pass again.

"Hmph, Mingjin retreats."

Azig was finally persuaded by Hauge and others to move and ordered the troops to be withdrawn, but he was in a very bad mood at this time, and after giving the order, he rode away directly.

Watching Azig leave, Haoge turned his head to look at Bai Ze and Zhao Tianda, and said, "Okay, you give the order to collect the troops." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

The two hurriedly thanked.

Dangdang!

The sound of the golden gong sounded in the rear of the Qing army, and the Qing soldiers who were still under the Yanmen Pass, after hearing the sound of the golden gong to collect the troops, all of them were like being amnestied, and they all retreated to the back, one running faster than the other.

At this time, the Qing soldiers were completely under the Yanmen Pass, and they were frightened by the tragic casualties.

If it weren't for the fear that they would be severely punished by the Tartars for their families, they would have fled.

At this moment, even these well-trained Qing soldiers are in chaos and have no intention of fighting, and they are fleeing in chaos.

There is no longer the same as before, even the retreat is orderly and orderly.

"Haha, the clear dogs retreated, look at their embarrassed appearance of losing their armor."

Qi Wei stood on the wall of the pass, looked at the defeated Qing soldiers outside the pass, and said with a smile to the soldiers of the White Dragon Army around him.

"That's it, these clear dogs met us, and they didn't suffer that time."

"It's a pity, we didn't play our own banner this time, we just don't know those dog tartars outside, do you know that we taught them a lesson this time."

"Don't worry, there are smart people in the Tartars, and they will guess.

Now in the entire Ming Dynasty, in addition to our White Dragon Army, is there any other person who can be equipped with so many flintlock guns! ”

"That's right!"

Many of the soldiers of the White Dragon Army around them also began to be happy and discussed relaxedly.

"Whoa, the Qing soldiers have retreated, we have defended, we have won!"

Compared with the soldiers of the White Dragon Army on the western section of the wall, although the Qing soldiers were repulsed, the soldiers still seemed relatively calm, and the Ming troops in other directions were very excited at this time, cheering loudly one by one.

It is no wonder that these Ming soldiers are so happy, in the past few years, they have almost never heard the news of the Ming army's victory over the Qing army.

However, today is different, they have won several consecutive victories against the Qing army, although they won according to the danger, but it still made these Ming soldiers excited.

"Dashuai, we hold on."

At this time, Bao Yufeng, who was covered in injuries, also looked at Lu Xiangsheng excitedly and said.

"Yes, it was finally defended, and today's Tartar army was dispatched, but it failed to overcome our Yanmen Pass, and paid such a heavy price.

Tomorrow, the Tartars will probably have to withdraw. ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the night sky illuminated by the firelight and said in a deep voice.

"Give the order to go down, clean up the battlefield, let the men kill a few pigs, and treat the soldiers well."

"Yes, Marshal."

The battle was over, and the soldiers of the Ming army guarding the pass, after a burst of cheers, all retreated into the pass one by one to rest, and a small number of them were cleaning up the corpses on the wall.

"Hao Qiang, you will take a group of veterans later and go to the Western Section of Chengguan to clean up the corpses of the fallen soldiers over there."

Lu Xiangsheng found Hao Qiang and whispered to him.

There were many soldiers of the Ming army on the wall of the western section, all of whom were killed by the muskets of the White Dragon Army.

Lu Xiangsheng was worried that he would let other Ming soldiers clean up the battlefield, and after discovering this, he would make things bigger overnight.

But Lu Xiangsheng knew that in the evening, there were still many soldiers of the Ming army, who saw the scene of the musketeers of the White Dragon Army shooting the Qing soldiers and the Ming soldiers indiscriminately.

It is impossible to hide this matter forever, Lu Xiangsheng just wants to delay time.

"Yes, Dashuai, I'll take someone there."

Hao Qiang understood Lu Xiangsheng's intentions, answered, and led people over overnight.

Fortunately, at this time, the fierce battle of the whole day had just ended, and those Ming soldiers were very tired, and after most of them withdrew into the pass, they fell asleep one by one in the corner.

For the time being, there are no soldiers of the Ming army, and the matter of the White Dragon Army shooting the Ming army is mentioned.

Only some other soldiers who were assigned tasks by Lu Xiangsheng were still dealing with some things, such as counting casualties, standing guard on the city wall, cooking, and so on.

"Guan Ling, send the 10,000 sets of cotton clothes brought by Qi Wei to the soldiers, and Qi Wei will put them in the warehouse in the Guannei."

Lu Xiangsheng walked in the pass, looked at the Ming soldiers who were leaning against the corner of the wall and sleeping under the eaves, and then found Guan Ling and commanded.

"Yes, Dashuai, I'll take someone over."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't sleep, and after the time came, Bao Yufeng came to Lu Xiangsheng, the wounds on his body had just been bandaged, but fortunately, those arrow wounds were not critical.

"Dashuai, this is the casualty statistics just sent below, take a look!"

Bao Yufeng's face was ugly, and Lu Xiangsheng knew that it was not because of his own injuries, but mostly because of the heavy casualties of the Ming army during the day.

In fact, for this point, Lu Xiangsheng has long been mentally prepared in his heart.

But when Lu Xiangsheng took the casualty statistics sheet handed over by Bao Yufeng and saw the astonishing numbers on it, he couldn't help but tremble.

"More than 7,300 soldiers were killed in battle, more than 3,800 were wounded, and 89 generals below the rank of guerrilla general were killed, including two guerrillas and six garrisons.

It's ......."

When Lu Xiangsheng read the casualties of the Ming army, he couldn't help but want to burst into foul language, and the bruises on his face rose.

In Yanmen Pass, in addition to the 10,000 horses brought by Qi Wei later, there were almost more than 25,000 Ming troops before, and more than 11,000 people were directly reduced in this battle.

With such a heavy price of casualties, it is no wonder that Lu Xiangsheng can accept it.

"Dashuai, this is still because there are no complete statistics below, and after dawn, after they make more detailed statistics, these numbers may increase a lot."

Bao Yufeng looked lonely and said sadly.

"Hey, the soldiers are all good, they didn't embarrass the men of my Han family, today's battle, the Tartars are not comfortable, their casualties will not be less than ours.

Now the Tartars don't know the reality of our pass, especially after seeing Qi Wei's musketeers come to help.

If I were the commander of the Qing army outside the pass, I would not attack Yanmen Pass again, which is not in line with the strategy of the Tartars.

Li Zixiao said in the letter to me before that the real purpose of the Tartars this time was to enter the customs and plunder.

Now that they are under the Yanmen Gate, they have lost so many men and horses, and they have not been able to defeat them, and the casualties during the day today are enough to scare off the Tartars. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said in a deep voice.

"However, after dawn, Ben Shuai still has to send people to Zhenwuwei and Ningwuguan to transfer 20,000 horses over just in case."

"Marshal, Zhenwuwei and those old soldiers, what's the use of transferring them over, besides, don't we still have more than 20,000 horses in Daizhou?

It's not enough to transfer them over, and we still have 10,000 elites of General Qi Wei in the pass, which is enough to ensure the safety of Yanmen Pass. ”

Regarding Lu Xiangsheng's decision, Bao Yufeng said with some puzzlement.

"Hey!"

Lu Xiangsheng sighed, worried in his heart.

Bao Yufeng still didn't know the situation, and he didn't know that Du Xun took more than 20,000 Ming troops from Daizhou to Taiyuan.

I didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng was ready to transfer Qi Wei away after dawn.

Otherwise, Qi Wei's men and horses would most likely clash with other Ming troops if they continued to stay in Yanmen Pass.
