To be honest, before this, the top brass of the White Army did not sleep very well. 【Full text reading】If you are not sure, how can you sleep well? This time, the white-clothed army faced a joint attack by Mo Yuegen and Lin Dan Khan. It's definitely no joke. The slightest mistake in the middle can lead to a catastrophe. Thankfully, now, they can finally put their minds at ease and get a good night's sleep. The sky won't fall.

This battle dealt a severe blow to the morale of the Tatars, and the next battle was easy to handle. Combat effectiveness, to a large extent, is based on morale. An army without morale is nothing to fear. Even if it's a lot of people. For example, the Ming army. The number of the Ming army was tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, but no one was afraid of it. For no other reason, it is because it has no morale at all, no combat effectiveness.

If the Tatars had 100 morale when they went south, it should have dropped to about 80 after the blow to Gulang City. After being forced to cross the Tengger Desert, it is estimated that the morale of the Tatars is only about 70. Now, having suffered such a heavy blow, the morale of the Tatars is estimated to be only about 50. Obviously, such a low morale will lead to a significant reduction in the combat effectiveness of the Tatars. Even with their numerical superiority, it was becoming more and more difficult for the Tatars to defeat the white-clothed army.

For the white-clothed army, this victory in the battle can be regarded as the most difficult hurdle. This level is the confidence level. The biggest problem of the White Army before was that it was not very confident in defeating the Tatars. Not only are the soldiers at the grassroots level not very confident, but even the middle-level officers are also some lacking sufficient confidence. Most people think that it will be very difficult for the white-clothed army to fight against the two giants of Mo Yuegen and Lin Dan Khan. Even, there is a possibility of defeat.

Through this battle, the soldiers of the White Army have established the confidence to defeat the enemy. Through the battle, they all deeply understood that the Tatars were actually nothing remarkable. It's all two shoulders and one head, and the white-clothed army can kill thousands of them casually. Even, in hand-to-hand combat, the white-clothed army could hack the Tatars to death face to face. This is very beneficial to the outbreak of the combat effectiveness of the grassroots soldiers.

From a strategic point of view, the White Coats are also in a very advantageous position. Didn't you Mo Yuegen want to attack the Bayannur grassland? Okay, I won't stop you. Lao Tzu will chase after you and beat you up. If you beat me, I will beat you, and see who can't hold it up first. I'm not too demanding, just kill a thousand of you every day.

…… Mo Yuegen's golden sweat tent, the atmosphere is unusually silent. There was silence all around, as if a pin had fallen to the ground, and it could be heard. In fact, there are not many people in the sweat tent, just Berrien, Barrett, Zarik, and Catavaro. Well, there's also a Mo Yuegen. Inside the huge golden sweat tent, there were these few people, purely negligible.

However, they felt as if there were thousands of people crowded in the golden sweat tent, and everyone had a feeling of being heavily pressed and unable to breathe. Such a feeling naturally came from Mo Yuegen's body. Obviously, Mo Yuegen's face was not very good. It is his bad face that will bring such heavy pressure to the people below.

The battle outside is still going on. From time to time, fierce gunfire was heard. The constant sound of gunfire means constant fighting. The cavalry of the White Army continued to launch raids and harassment operations. Their tactics have not improved in any way compared to before. Fortunately, the Tatars have finally gained a foothold and are not as flustered as before. For the fishing tactics of the white-clothed army, the Tatar cavalry also took some effective measures, and they would not be easily deceived.

Mo Yuegen's breathing was obviously a little heavy. He looked up at the dome of the Golden Sweat Tent and fell into deep thought. He knew very well that the Tatars had suffered heavy losses this time, and the first person to bear the responsibility was him. It was he who gave the order for the all-army assault. Without this order, it is estimated that the Tatars would not have suffered such heavy casualties.

"I really underestimated Xu Xingxia." Mo Yuegen silently sighed in his heart, and said to himself a little sourly. He had to come to terms with the harsh reality in front of him. Now he no longer dares to have the slightest contempt for Xu Xingxia.

Through repeated battles, Mo Yuegen had to admit bitterly that this Xu Xingxia did have the ability to argue with him. The other party is fully qualified to be on an equal footing with him. Even, if he is not careful, he may capsize in the gutter and die in the hands of Xu Xingxia.

The current Tatars can no longer withstand any toss. In the last two or three months, he has paid too heavy a price. If the price to be paid next is still so heavy, his name will be completely covered up by the dust of history. Losers are not eligible to leave their names. History is written by the victors.

After being silent for a long time, Mo Yuegen slowly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Berrien, how many people have we lost?" ”

Berrion stopped talking, but did not dare to speak.

Mo Yuegen said calmly: "Anyway, I can still bear it." ”

Berrien had no choice but to bite the bullet and said slowly: "Report to King Khan, after the statistics of various departments, as of dawn, there are more than 7,400 people in total who have not returned to the team......

Later, his voice was so low that only he could hear it. He was afraid that every word he said would anger Mo Yuegen. If Mo Yuegen is mad, everyone present may suffer a catastrophe. In one battle, a full 7,000 people were lost, and such a result was simply fatal! Under Mo Yuegen's command, how many 7,000 people are there?

"Seven thousand four hundred people......" Mo Yuegen said to himself, the look on his face did not change much. After a while, he suddenly smiled miserably, sat down on the bed, and said nothing. Vaguely, there seemed to be a lot of gray hair on his head.

The surrounding Tatar high-level people were all relieved. Listening to Mo Yuegen's tone, it seemed that he didn't mean to pursue them. They probably don't have to worry about their heads moving. Also, this is Mo Yuegen's own responsibility, if he wants to be held accountable, he should also be held accountable, how can he be angry with the people below? Of course, such thoughts can only be hidden in everyone's heart, and they must never be revealed.

Seeing the obvious increase in white hair on Mo Yugen's head, Berrien suddenly felt, perhaps, King Khan is really old? Perhaps, the current world is a young man like Xu Xingxia? Perhaps, the Tatars have run out of gas, and it is the turn of the Han dynasty to run amok? Perhaps, this Xu Xingxia is the likes of Wei Qing, Huo Quai, and Li Jing in the past? Either way, it seems to mean that the good life of the Tatars is over forever.

Such a result did make Mo Yuegen very sad. The loss of 7,000 people is simply terrible. This loss is almost equivalent to a team of 10,000 people. In other words, it was because of one of his wrong orders that the Tatars lost a troop of 10,000 troops! He didn't know where he should make up for the loss. Perhaps, this loss is something he can't make up for at all, and he will never be able to make up for it. This is how the gray hair on his head suddenly increased.

Mo Yuegen could not explain the crushing defeat of the Tatars. His own confidence, too, was seriously shaken unconsciously. All this is the result of the defeat in the field. There is no doubt that this time, the Tatar cavalry, in the field battle, was defeated by the cavalry of the White Army. I really don't know, since when did the field combat ability of the white-clothed army become so strong? It's incredible! The field combat ability of the Han cavalry is also so strong!

What's even more odious is that the cavalry of the white-clothed army dared to wield sabers and fight hand-to-hand with the Tatars! And damn it, the Tatars were actually hacked to death! was defeated by the white-clothed army in hand-to-hand combat, which was a great shame in Mo Yuegen's opinion. This is more heart-wrenching than the Tatars being shot by a large number of guns and cannons below the town far pass. What did the Tatars start on? Melee! In the beginning, the Tatars relied on pure hand-to-hand combat, and riding and archery were only auxiliary!

However, it was in hand-to-hand combat, on which the Tatars had begun, that the Tatars were defeated! Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable? The reputation of the Tatars for bravery and good fighting was completely lost by those shameless fellows. Mo Yugen swore that if he found the Tatars who did not dare to fight hand-to-hand, he would definitely chop them all up with a golden saber. If even the courage to fight hand-to-hand at the last time is gone, what is the point of the Tatars living in this world? It's all dead.

What's even worse is that this battle made Mo Yuegen deeply feel that his ideas were likely to be unrealistic. Because, even if he desperately takes the Bayannur steppe and kills part of the white-clothed army, such a battle will not be of any benefit to the Tatars! The white-clothed army that was killed will soon be able to replenish it. And the Tatars who were killed have no way to make up for it. If he consumes all the way, he will always be beaten up one day.

But what could the Tatars do if they did not march on the Bayannur steppe? Is there any other way out for him? No! He couldn't even stay in the vicinity of Zhenyuan Pass for a long time, otherwise the casualties of his troops would increase and their morale would be even lower. For the current Tatars, the only way out is to make a desperate attempt to march to the Bayannur steppe. Other than that, all other ideas are a dead end.

"Herald! Pull out to the Bayannur grassland! Mo Yuegen said slowly.

"King Khan...... Zhenyuan Pass ......," Berrion said with some hesitation. In fact, he understood what Mo Yugen meant, which was to avoid the unfortunate place of Zhenyuan Pass. However, can you be willing to leave Zhenyuan Pass like this? Just look at the arrogance of the cavalry of the White Army? I can't find a way to get it back after suffering a loss, this is the first time in the history of the Tatars.

"Keeping people in Zhenyuan Pass, is it to make snacks for the white-clothed army? How many people do you think is enough? Our whole army is here, and we can't stop the attack of the cavalry of the white army, so what's the use of leaving a small number of troops? Don't leave any of them, go to Bayannur grassland! Let's eat the Bayannur grassland! Mo Yuegen's eyes showed a fierce light and said calmly.

He is also a character who can afford to let go. He has rich combat experience, and his judgment of the battle situation is still very accurate. He knew very well that with the presence of the tiger in Zhenyuanguan, any Tatar who came close to him would be eaten mercilessly. The cavalry of the White Army relied on this tiger to fight, which was too convenient. Only by staying away from this tiger is the safest. At the same time, only by moving away from this tiger will the Tatars have a chance to fight back.

"King Khan, I see." Brian hurriedly agreed.

Soon, Mo Yuegen's order was conveyed. After receiving the order, all the Tatars breathed a sigh of relief. Hardly any Tatar had the idea of taking revenge on Zhenyuanguan. For most Tatars, it was great to be able to leave the hellish place of Zhenyuanguan. It is absolutely impossible to take revenge on a fortified city like Zhenyuanguan. If Mo Yuegen continued to order them to attack, they would be really bad. Fortunately, such a tragic scene did not appear. It seems that Mo Yuegen is still very sensible.

However, such an order inevitably produces some negative effects. Evacuating Zhenyuanguan in this situation, idiots can feel that this is Mo Yuegen who was scared by Zhenyuanguan and didn't want to continue to see Zhenyuanguan. In Gulang City, the Tatars could not defeat the white-clothed army. At Zhenyuan Pass, the Tatars could not defeat the white-clothed army. After suffering three or four blows in a row, can the Tatars still be able to defeat the white-clothed army? No one has a bottom. It has to be said that in the minds of all Tatars, there is now a thick shadow over them.

…… Xu Xingxia woke up comfortably, and it was dusk.

The sunset in winter is reflected through the glass windows, illuminating the interior of the house very softly and gorgeously.

Xu Xingxia's bedroom, with Tessna's layout, naturally looks very warm, elegant and comfortable. The bed he slept on was also a specially made large bed, which was completely different from the marching bed he used to like. As the supreme leader of the White Army, it is not too much to enjoy it a little. After all, the chairman's physical health is the most important thing.

"You're awake." Tesna was pondering things beside him, when she found him awake and hurried up to get busy. She clapped her hands, and a female guard came in to serve. After a while, the dinner that had been prepared a long time ago was also delivered. Outside the bedroom, there is a small living room, a dining room, everything is available. If the chairman wants to live a luxurious life, there is no problem at all. It's just that, in many cases, he has to lead by example and can't go too far.
