When the gunfire finally fell silent, the soldiers in white were also busy preparing to clean up the battlefield. In such an environment, cleaning the battlefield is almost the patent of the white-clothed army. Because, the muskets of the white army, as well as the trebuchets, completely control the entire battlefield. If a large number of Mongol cavalry appeared, the battle would surely break out again. If a small number of Mongol cavalry appeared, the Eagle Cavalry and Eagle Cavalry stragglers who were on guard around the battlefield could kill them.

The Mongol cavalry did make several sorties in an attempt to salvage their own wounded, as well as the bodies of the war dead. Of course, they could not sit idly by and watch their wounded fall into the hands of the whites and become prisoners of the whites. The largest number of Mongol cavalry was three or four hundred men. However, without exception, they were met with a strong counterattack from the musketeers in white. After losing a few dozen men, the Mongols had to retreat in disgrace.

"Damn Huza! It's despicable! Gui Ying scolded stupidly.

Of course, he knew very well that the white-clothed army refused to allow the Mongols to clean up the battlefield together, and the purpose was to capture all the wounded Mongols. Prior to this, the Mongols also captured some of the white-clothed soldiers in the pursuit battle. At present, the prisoners of these white-clothed troops are still in the hands of the Mongols. Obviously, the White Coats wanted to exchange the Mongol captives for their own captives. This is also a consistent practice, and there is nothing wrong with it. Gui Yingcha was angry that he was pressed by the white-clothed army everywhere, and he couldn't beat him, so it was really uncomfortable!

Successive troop dispatches failed to disperse the cavalry of the white-clothed army, and Gui Yingcha had no choice but to admit defeat. He doesn't have much troops at hand, and he doesn't have the strength to continue to fight with the white-clothed army. The musketeers of the White Army were very annoying, and before they knew it, they had consumed a lot of the living force of the Mongols. Continuing to entangle them will not have the slightest benefit other than continuing to increase the number of casualties. Therefore, for the actions of the white-clothed army, he can only pretend that he has not seen anything, heard nothing, pretends to be deaf and dumb, and ignores it.

In this way, all the Mongolian cavalry could not help but feel a little frustrated. His companions were waiting for their own rescue on the battlefield, but they were thrown alive to the white-clothed army. I have to say, this is really disappointing. They were born and died on the battlefield, and what they got in the end turned out to be like this? Perhaps, they were fundamentally wrong in this expedition. It's not worth a battle like this! It's really not worth it!

"Liu Chuang, take the chasers to clean up the battlefield! Pay attention, capture all the Mongols alive! We need captives! Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice.

"Understood! We need captives! Liu Chuang agreed loudly and turned around.

In the battle just now, the chasseurs led by Liu Chuang, as the general reserve of the white-clothed army, have never participated in the battle. They were all by Xu Xingxia's side, observing the fierce battle ahead. Seeing that the brother troops were fighting in full swing, they had already had a little itchy hands, and they couldn't wait to go to the battlefield immediately. It's a pity that before they could make a move, the Mongols retreated. They didn't have a chance to participate in the war, so they could only vent a little by cleaning up the battlefield.

The warriors of the chasseurs did not ride horses and came directly to the battlefield on foot. At this time, the battlefield is naturally a mess. Everywhere there were fallen war horses, everywhere there were fallen Mongols, everywhere there were broken weapons, everywhere there were torn banners, everywhere there were deep pools of blood, everywhere there were soft soil. There were some puddles of blood, and the depth of the blood even went beyond the calf. The task of the Chasseur warriors was to dig out the living Mongols in this chaotic scene and turn them into captives of the White Army.

In fact, this kind of work is really not easy to do. Originally, under the guns and artillery of the white-clothed army, there were not many wounded of the Mongols, and most of them were directly killed. Even if he is not directly killed, he will die of excessive bleeding. After being hit by Minnie's bullet, it was difficult to stop the bleeding from the wound, and the internal trauma was also very serious. Generally speaking, if it is hit in the torso by Mini's bullet, it is basically not worth salvaging.

Some of the Mongol wounded also realized that the situation was not good. Of course, they will not willingly fall into the hands of the white-clothed army. Therefore, they either choose to commit suicide or choose to resist and then be killed. If they resisted, the White Coats would definitely shoot them on the spot. Exercise restraint? No way! Only those Mongolian wounded who had passed out and had no sense of resistance could be easily captured by the white-clothed army. The warriors of the huntsmen searched for a long time before they found thirty or forty such Mongolian wounded.

Most of these Mongolian wounded who were caught were stunned. The main thing is that the explosives package exploded around them, and the huge shock wave stunned them directly. Generally speaking, after these people wake up, there is nothing serious, but their heads are a little dizzy. If they had woken up earlier, they might have been able to keep fighting. But now, they were all tied up by the white-clothed army and escorted to the rear of the white-clothed army.

"Did you find anything?" Xu Xingxia asked with concern. He stood outside the prisoner camp and waited for good news. It's a pity that for the time being, there is no good news coming. When he didn't need prisoners, many valuable prisoners were directly stabbed to death by the fighters with bayonets. Now, he needs captives, but there is nothing of value.

"There are three thousand commanders' corpses, but unfortunately they are all dead." Liu Chuang replied regretfully.

"Nothing alive? None of them? What about the other five? All escaped? Xu Xingxia frowned and asked. This time the Mongols attacked, and there should be several commanders in the team. Even if three die, the other five may be captured! If none of the eight commanders were caught, it could only be said that the luck of the white-clothed army was really bad. Poor Wang Xia, your luck is really not very good!

"For the time being, the commander is not alive yet." Liu Chuang replied helplessly.

Xu Xingxia nodded, took a breath gently, tried to calm down his inner thoughts, and said slowly: "Continue the search." Tell the soldiers to go through every corner of the battlefield carefully, and not be sloppy! Don't let the worthy target easily escape! If there's anything big going on, report it to me! ”

Liu Chuang agreed loudly and continued the search with the chasseurs.

After returning to the barracks, Xu Xingxia asked Wang Xia about their whereabouts. This matter has always been the concern of Scout Captain Ming Hao. It's a pity that Xu Xingxia got the reply that Mao Shisan took the leopard cavalry to find Wang Xia, but there was no news. Wang Xia seemed to have disappeared, and Mao Shisan seemed to have followed the news. The scouts of the white-clothed army walked along the Yellow River and found nothing valuable.

This made Xu Xingxia feel a little uncomfortable. Wang Xia was the first ranger to defect to the White Army, earlier than Chi Hu. If he had an accident, it would be a major blow to the top and bottom of the white-clothed army. If Wang Xia dies, things may be a little simpler. However, if Wang Xia fell into the hands of the Mongols, things would have become much more complicated. Lin Dan Khan, if he really caught Wang Xia, he would definitely use Wang Xia to make a fuss.

With Lin Dan Khan's shrewdness, he would not be unaware of Wang Xia's value, just as the Tatars would not be unaware of Tessna's value. Wang Xia is very familiar with all aspects of the white-clothed army, which is definitely good for Lin Dan Khan. If Wang Xia really fell into the hands of Lin Dan Khan, when the prisoners were exchanged, there must be a weighty person in the hands of the white-clothed army. This weight needs to be at least the rank of a thousand commanders or above. Otherwise, more Mongol captives will be needed. In any case, Wang Xia must be exchanged back.

Fortunately, the news sent by Liu Chuang was not bad. Sure enough, they found a wounded Mongolian commander. This guy was injured by his own war horse, and his life is not in danger. At the same time, they also found more than 300 Mongolian wounded. In addition, they found the body of the Mongolian warrior Tai Chi U. In other words, this Tai Chi Wu is a famous fierce general under Lin Dan Khan, and it is estimated that his corpse, Lin Dan Khan is also interested. If Wang Xia was really captured, the white-clothed army would have enough chips to get it back.

…… Lin Dan Khan's golden tent.

Gui Yingcha was very restless and walked back and forth outside.

After ordering the remnants of the Mongol cavalry to be withdrawn, Lin Dan Khan stayed alone in the golden tent, painfully reflecting on his mistakes. All the Mongol nobles were expelled. They could only tiptoe around outside the golden tent, for fear of alarming Lin Dan Khan inside. None of them knew what kind of decision Lin Dan Khan would make for this defeat in the battle. Maybe he'll cut off the heads of a few people.

Gui Yingcha felt that his head was really insecure. In this battle, Taichiu commanded in front and he commanded in the rear. Taichiu died in battle, but he is still alive. This is the most important reason why he may have his head cut off by Lin Dan Khan. You're all defeated, what are you doing when you come back alive? Take your head off yourself! However, Guiying is not reconciled! He was really unwilling to cut off his head like this. In this battle, he felt to himself, there was nothing wrong. The only mistake was that he didn't die in battle and came back alive.

Alas, forget it, Lin Dan Khan can deal with it as he wants! This time, the Mongols did suffer a big loss, and it is estimated that even if Lin Dan Khan cut off his head, it will not change much for the battle situation. Unless, the reinforcements from Naturalization City can come quickly. If there are no reinforcements coming, relying on the current remnants of the army, it will be a little difficult to continue to confront the white-clothed army. Damn the white-clothed army, it's really powerful!

"Come in, you all, I have something to say." Suddenly, Lin Dan Khan's voice came.

The Mongolian nobles outside the golden tent, you look at me, I look at you, they all feel a little chilly behind their necks. Some people even unconsciously shrank their necks. This time I entered the golden camp, I wonder if I can come out alive in a while? If the golden saber in Lin Dan Khan's hand was cut down, their lives would be over.

Under the leadership of Na Song and Gui Yingcha, a group of Mongolian nobles slowly entered the golden tent. Everything in it made them feel even more depressed. Because, when they saw Lin Dan Khan, there was almost no expression on his face, as if he was a sculpture. Such an expression makes people feel even more uneasy. Lin Dan Khan, could it be that he is preparing to kill? By the way, are you really going to chop off the heads of a group of people?

Lin Danhan's eyes swept and said coldly: "We didn't fail!" ”

Na Song and Gui Yingcha were both obviously taken aback. The two subconsciously glanced at each other, their eyes full of doubts. What does Lin Dan Khan mean by this? The Mongols were not defeated? Such a gray withdrawal is coming, and it is not considered defeat? The other Mongolian nobles didn't react for a while, and they were still Mu Muran. When they reacted, they all looked at Lin Dan Khan with incredulous eyes.

Isn't such a defeat a defeat? Could it be that the defeat can only be called defeat when the whole army is destroyed? Some of the Mongolian nobles were even worried that Lin Dan Khan would say such crazy things because his mind was a little blurred and unconscious. However, more people are secretly relieved. Regardless of whether it is really defeated or not, as long as Lin Dan Khan does not admit that it is defeated, this is a good thing. Since it is not a defeat, there is no need to cut off people's heads.

Lin Dan Khan said with a grim face: "I lost this battle, I made a mistake, and the troops sent out were too few!" If we had attacked for the first time, we would have invested enough troops, let's say, at least fifteen thousand men, and the result would certainly not have been what it is now! Therefore, if I want to take responsibility, I will be the first to take it! ”

Gui Yingcha and the others were greatly relieved and relieved.

Lin Dan Khan took the responsibility on himself, which is definitely a good thing for them. At the very least, their respective heads are saved for the time being. However, they can't be blindly optimistic, because Lin Dan Khan's self-blame is not a good thing. His self-reproach meant that all the Mongol nobles would have a miserable life in the coming days. Because, Lin Dan Khan's revenge ** is very strong. He will never tolerate his own mistakes, it will happen again. In other words, he must cover up today's defeat with a bigger victory!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Dan sweated and said sharply: "Now, what we have to do is to reorganize the army and prepare to fight again!" Our losses, only five or six thousand people! We still have an army of nearly 20,000! We still have full combat effectiveness! We haven't completely failed yet! We still have hope of victory! Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any good suggestions, please put them up now! If I don't defeat Xu Xingxia, I will never withdraw my troops! ”

Na Yue Song looked at the faces of the other people around him, and said cautiously: "We have some warriors, accidentally fell into the hands of the white-clothed army, do we find a way to ...... them When they come back, it will be good for the morale of the troops......"

Lin Dan Khan said categorically: "Didn't we also capture some of the prisoners of the white-clothed army? Swap that's it! Na Song, you are personally responsible for this matter! Be careful, don't take a loss! ”

Na Yue Song hurriedly bowed down and said, "Subordinates obey orders!" We're not going to lose anything! ”

Lin Dan Khan said: "I have mobilized 30,000 troops from Guihua City, and I have come to reinforce us at night!" Ladies and gentlemen, as soon as reinforcements arrive, our strength will be multiplied! We're going to defeat the Whites! The price we pay today will be paid back ten times more by the white army in the future! Xu Xingxia will definitely die in my hands! ”

The Mongolian nobles present all boosted their morale a little. Yes, as long as the Mongol army in Guihua City arrives and defeats the white-clothed army, it is indeed possible. Today's battle was not well planned at the beginning, and we suffered a great loss. I believe that next time, I will never make such a low-level mistake. White-clad army, wait and see!

…… Na Yuesong sent a Mongolian cavalry with a white flag to the side of the white-clothed army to show his intention. For the exchange of prisoners, Xu Xingxia naturally agreed. He immediately appointed Zhang Tianhao to negotiate with Na Yuesong to discuss the details of the exchange of prisoners. As a result, when the two met, a fierce quarrel ensued. Zhang Tianhao slapped the table hard, and Na Song turned his head and left.

Zhang Tianhao came to Xu Xingxia's side and said indignantly: "My lord, the Mongols are too much, and they actually proposed one Mongolian for five Han Chinese!" That Yue Song actually dared to say that the number of prisoners in their hands was much more than ours! ”

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "Regardless of him, one for the other!" ”

Zhang Tianhao frowned and said, "I don't know how many of our prisoners are in the hands of the Mongols?" ”

Xu Xingxia said without thinking: "You don't need to pay much attention. Anyway, it's just one for another! If we don't have enough captives, we'll keep capturing them! Until you catch enough! There are so many Mongols around, what are you worried about? ”

Zhang Tianhao rubbed his palms vigorously and agreed.

With Xu Xingxia behind him, the negotiation between Zhang Tianhao and Na Yuesong was very tough. The two sides bargained and did not budge. Na Yue Song refused to give in, and Zhang Tianhao refused to give in. In the end, the two sides parted unhappily. And while the two were bargaining, the battle between the white-clothed army and the Mongols began again.

The so-called coming without being rude was just now the Mongols attacking, and now, it is the white-clothed army that has taken the initiative to attack. Groups of white-clothed cavalry, in order, constantly attacked the Mongol camp. As soon as the Mongol cavalry appeared, they were far away in a volley of guns that knocked the Mongols down. If more Mongols rushed up, they alternately covered the retreat and retreated to the barracks. When the Mongols retreated, they reappeared.

The only purpose of such a battle was to deplete the living forces of the Mongols. In front of the long-range moon gun, whether the Mongols are dispatched or not, they will continue to die. The most conservative estimate is that the number of Mongol casualties in one day exceeded 1,000. Such a casualty rate is definitely something that Lin Dan Khan cannot afford.
