Approaching dusk, the Qing army suddenly desperately got rid of the Datong army and retreated eastward like a falling tide, and the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed greatly.

After Bu Er Town was surrounded on all sides, the rear could not continue to transport the militia to replenish the soldiers, and the hard fight was now dying, and the retreat of the Qing army made Sun Shoufa breathe a sigh of relief, and he sat on the ground with the soldiers exhausted, this day finally passed, let them escape, Bu Er Town really had no strength to pursue.

The new tactics of the second town of the cannon are more and more convenient, encircling and compressing the Qing army from three sides, and the big victory is just around the corner, but unexpectedly the Qing army will run away, Tong Tulai's Wuzhen Chao Ha army simply threw away the artillery, and the cooked duck flew away, Jin Guoding was of course unwilling, but the Eight Banners were infantry on horseback, and he couldn't catch up if he wanted to.

The Eight Banners Iron Cavalry made one last effort and concentrated its forces to launch a fierce attack in an attempt to rescue Arzin, but was blocked by the second and fourth towns of the cavalry outside the encirclement. Arzin's 5,000 iron cavalry fell into the siege of the Flying Tiger Battalion and the Seven Towns of the Cavalry, and after a long battle, they were unable to break through, and were suddenly abandoned by the main force, and surrendered to the Datong Army in desperation.

What is more funny is Bai Xianzhi, tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers suddenly pounced, and thought that they were looking for him desperately, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat to defend in formation, Shuo Lei and Gulu Qibu were most afraid of the Eight Banner Army, and led the Mongolian cavalry to almost crawl and retreat for their lives, but then the scene was shocking, the Eight Banners did not find trouble with the Datong Army, but killed their friendly green battalion soldiers.

The green battalion soldiers were beaten to only half a life, and they were hiding behind the remnants of the car formation, and they never dreamed that the master would do the black, they didn't have the courage to confront the Manchurian master, but they vented their anger on the head of the Eight Banners Han Army, and they swarmed up to rush up and desperately pounce on the guys. Zu Zerun is the eldest son of Zu Dashou, at a young age, he did the Han army is the Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen, the qualifications are shallow and you have to be diligent in doing things, today has been supervising the battle behind the ass of the green battalion soldiers, there is no time to escape, and was cut into meat puree by the knife, the Han army is inlaid with the blue flag Gushan Ezhen Li Guohan, the inlaid yellow flag Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, and the red flag Gushan Ezhen Wu Shoujin immediately led the troops to rush up to avenge the same kind, the two Han armies of the Great Qing Dynasty became one, and in a blink of an eye, the corpses were all over the ground - this fire was not more bloody and tragic than the confrontation with the Datong army, and the number of the Eight Banners Han Army was too small, After a short fight, Wu Shoujin fell from his horse and died with an arrow, Liu Zhiyuan was also wounded and retreated, and the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry wanted to support their own people, rushed up to kill as much as they wanted, and the Green Camp Han Army was defeated and fell into a situation of being slaughtered by others.

The Datong army became an outsider at this time, rolled up his sleeves to watch the excitement, Bai Xianzhi was still afraid that someone would come to grab food, and strictly ordered all departments not to accept surrender, and if there were prisoners to bear the rations. The sky gradually darkened, the Eight Banners seemed to be tired of killing, the whole army retreated to the south, the Datong army continued to kill, guns, arrows flew overwhelmingly to the green battalion soldiers, Shuo Lei, Gulu Siqibu also became angry, led the Mongolian cavalry to intercept and kill everywhere - the green battalion soldiers were desperate, threw down their weapons to stop resisting, knelt down to the south and wept bitterly, and then died one after another.

"The surname is white, do you still have any humanity, how many people will be satisfied after killing?" Sun Qifeng came running on a donkey, raised his cane and hit Bai Xianzhi.

"Can you blame me, it's because the House doesn't allocate rations to accommodate the Green Battalion soldiers, these people are rotten soldiers and scoundrels, and they will definitely make trouble if they don't have anything to eat!" Bai Xianzhi covered his head and shouted.

"Bai Shuai, stop it, there are definitely not many people alive, there is no big trouble, there are tens of thousands of corpses here, someone has to collect them." The Black Cloud Dragon persuaded from the side.

Bai Xianzhi thought about it for a while, and finally nodded: "Count them lucky, if they don't kill them, they all rush to collect the corpses, and those who dare to disobey will be killed on the spot!" ”

"After finishing the work, I will send a few liters of rice to them to roll back to their hometown, and I don't raise rotten soldiers." The king hurriedly interjected.

There were less than 10,000 surviving green battalion soldiers, and after a massacre, they were frightened like wooden chickens, in a trance, and their usual unruly demeanor was completely gone, and they were honestly escorted by the militia to collect the corpses.

When night fell, the camp in Buer Town was full of mourning, more than a dozen bonfires were burning, the lamas of the army chanted loudly in front of the rows of corpses, and the sobs of the soldiers continued to sound around - this was the moment of life and death, according to the tradition of the Datong Army, the bodies of the war dead will be cremated, and the ashes will be brought back to their hometowns by their comrades-in-arms.

Li Yu slowly walked in front of the corpses of the dead soldiers, and from time to time waved his fist to touch his chest and saluted, Sun Siwang, Gao Baozhu, Zhu Riga ......, and countless brothers died on the battlefield, victory is not far away, but he still paid a huge price for completing the last step - Li Yu suddenly felt a heartache, his body shook and almost fell, and Mo Rige hurriedly supported him.

"The brothers are all good, insist on fighting until the last moment, the corpses of the Qing army on the battlefield are no less than 5,000, president, Bai Xianzhi sits back and watches the friendly army fight hard and does not try his best to rescue, he is not a human being!" Sun Shoufa waved his fist and said, he suffered the greatest loss in this battle, Sun Siwang, the deputy commander of the town, was seriously injured and died, the three associations were killed and two were wounded, the battalion soldiers were killed four thousand, the defense army and the militia were killed two thousand, and the other departments were killed in only three thousand, and everyone understood the truth that people should die in battle, but Bai Xianzhi's indifference made him hate it when he thought about it.

"Buer Town retreats to the upper capital city to rest, and I will talk to Lao Bai." Li Yu looked at the bonfire and waved his hand, the mentality of the whole army in this battle has changed, and the battle is fought absent-mindedly, if it is not for the second town of the gun, I am afraid that there will be an unprecedented defeat, it seems that the army must be reorganized, and some people should take off their uniforms.

Sun Shoufa snorted and didn't say anything more, but from this day on, he and Bai Xianzhi became rivals.

Bidding farewell to his brother who died in battle, Li Yu sat on a stone weakly, took a bowl of hot soup from Mo Rige and nibbled on the dough, he was really tired after a day of fighting, and now he had time to fill his stomach, at this time, Gordon and Bahai came quietly.

"You can see it all, this is war, even a revolution will shed a river of blood." Li Yu raised his head and said lightly.

"This is the price of the revolution, and tyranny must be overthrown even if there is a river of blood." Gordon was still stubborn.

"Without saying that, explain to me why can't God stop the war, since God is omnipotent and omnipresent?"

Gordon scratched his head and thought for a while before replying: "The Bible says that human beings have original sin, and only by redeeming themselves can they hope to enter heaven, and revolution may be the necessary way for human beings to redeem themselves." ”

Li Yu ignored him, turned his face and asked Ba Hai again: "Ba Hai, what do you think?" ”

Bahai replied dejectedly: "I don't care about God, Uncle Erlu, you can finish the battle quickly, if you continue to fight, Manchuria will really be wiped out." ”

After Li Yu finished eating the bread, clapped his hands and stood up: "Let's go back to the camp!" ”

That night, Li Yu found an officer above the level of the co-ordinator of each town to give a lecture, and the Seventh Riding Town and the Second Gun Gun Town fought resolutely and decisively, and the results were fruitful, and they were specially praised, and the Second Riding Town and the Fourth Riding Town were scolded and hurriedly set off to cut off the retreat of the Qing army, while Bai Xianzhi and Hou Shijie were left to talk individually.

The results of the battle were quickly reported, the Qing army killed nearly 10,000 people in the Eight Banners Army, 5,000 people were captured, and the Han army in the green camp also lost a fine light, this is an unprecedented victory, the Qing country did not turn over after this battle, the soldiers of the Datong army were thunderous, and they were ready to trample the opponent under their feet, and the Manchurian soldiers also figured it out, the Qing Dynasty was about to fall anyway, and it was not as ruthless as possible, and the battle was fought early to let more people of the same clan survive, and the whole army pulled out the camp and marched south, but met the Qing army general Haning A hurriedly ran to ask to meet the Prince of Jin.

"Lord Wang, please save us, the minions are running out of life." When Haninga saw Li Yu, she knelt down and cried bitterly.

"Uncle, stand up and tell me what's going on?" Li Yu was taken aback and asked.

"The great plague, the great plague, must have been infected with smallpox in Gyeonggi, two thousand people fell ill in the camp in one day, and Prince Yu is dying, this is God's punishment for us, Manchuria is going to be wiped out!" Haninga cried even harder.

The faces of the generals of Datong changed suddenly, and Bai Xianzhi trembled his lips and said: "President, let's withdraw our troops, it is the best policy to protect ourselves." ”

"When the epidemic comes, we should be in the same boat, do you patronize and protect yourself?" Ge Kuri immediately pointed at Bai Xianzhi and shouted angrily, turned his head and said to Li Yu again, "There are Ula people in the Eight Banners, as well as our Yehe people, President, you can't watch them die!" ”

General Wang Shixuan and Arzin accompanied the army staff and military affairs, and at this time knelt down together and cried and begged: "President, you are our Prince of Jin, save us, the people in the Eight Banners will be loyal to you for generations." ”

"Save us Manchurians!" Hadari, Aobai, Kupilon and other Manchurian soldiers hulala and knelt on the ground.

Li Yu waved his hand and asked Aningha again, "Uncle, tell me, how is Duoduo?" ”

"Prince Yu's body fever does not go away, his body has pustules, sometimes convulsions and sometimes coma, this is a symptom of smallpox death." Aning replied without crying.

"How much ration do you have?" Gcuri then asked, seeing that Aninha was hesitant, he waved his hand and shouted, "You must tell the truth, otherwise no one will be able to save you." ”

"It's only enough to eat for five days," Haninga shook his head, raised his fists to the sky and sighed, "The Great Qing Kingdom is too poor to get food!" ”

"I can't watch my brother die, Bai Xianzhi, Ge Kuli, you two command the army, I'll go to the Qing army camp," Li Yu no longer hesitated, pulled Haninga up and stepped on the war horse and galloped away, Li Xuan and Ao Bai hurriedly led the Flying Tiger Battalion to follow.

The president said that he would leave, and he was going to the enemy's camp, Bai Xianzhi was stunned for a while before shouting: "The whole army will speed up the march, and tonight we will camp close to the Qing army, and if we dare to disadvantage the president, we will destroy them." ”

"Kuaima informed Datong, Xuanhua, and Dushikou that the epidemic situation ahead is urgent, and it is necessary to transport more food and medicinal materials." Ghkuri exclaimed, too.

The Qing army camp, the sentry stared blankly at the distance, there were several deep pits dug there, and there were freshly transported corpses next to them, Aha was throwing firewood into the pit, and there were brothers left, and everyone would end up in the same way sooner or later - they couldn't run away from the epidemic, and the back road was cut off by others, and they fell into a situation where there was no food and grass inside, and there were no rescuers outside, and the last bit of the Qing Dynasty was afraid of losing everything.

There was a rush of horses' hooves, the sentry looked up and immediately blew the trumpet, and the Eight Banners swarmed outside the camp, raising their bows and arrows and fire guns to the galloping cavalry.

"The guys in our hands are all thrown away, Prince Jin is here to save us!" Haning'a stood in front of Li Yu and shouted loudly.

The Eight Banners were still stunned, but the officers swarmed to the front of the queue to look forward, and soon cheered - when they were about to fall, Li Yu was their only savior.

"Uncle, nephew Bayan kowtowed to you," Bayan squeezed to the front and shouted, Li Yu galloped close to the camp gate surrounded by a large group of guards, looking at this guy who had never met before, he frowned, Bayan immediately added, "My father is Li Yongfang, I am the fifth, and Princess Heshuo Duanshu is my aunt!" ”

"It turned out to be Bayan, I heard of you, Adahai, this is your cousin, you two should be closer." Li Yu nodded and said, Adahai jumped down to hold Bayan, but his hand was always pressed on the short gun on his waist, and at the same time, the two sentinels flying tiger cavalry and the two sentinel Wuxuan battalion cavalry quietly controlled the camp gate.

"Prince Jin is auspicious, the servant Siteku (Hurib) has saluted" Two more officers fell to their knees.

Li Yu glanced around and said, "Xiteku, Yellow Flag Kabush Xianzhangjing, Hulib, Zhenghong Banner Kabush Xianzhangjing, I still remember the two of you, tell me, how many people have died?" ”

Sitku and Hulib kowtowed gratefully before replying, "More than thirty have died today, and this is just the beginning, and I don't know how many people will die in the future." ”

"Lead the way ahead and take me to see your Prince Yu." Li Yu rode into the camp, and the Flying Tiger Battalion unceremoniously pushed away the Qing soldiers and followed behind him without leaving one step.

Duoduo fell asleep all day, and in a daze, he felt that someone was calling in his ear, and he tried to open his eyes but saw Li Yu, and after a burst of surprise on his face, he cried and whispered: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, Brother Erlu, don't come near me!" ”

The young man in front of him was pale, his eye sockets were deep, and the pustules on his face were still oozing blood, how could he still have the handsome and chic style of the year, Li Yu burst out of his eyes with tears of heartache, hugged Duoduo and sobbed in a low voice: "Duoduo, you can't die, I will find you the best doctor, I will definitely cure your illness." ”

"I have done too much evil in the south, this is a heavenly punishment, I can't hide from your gallows if I don't die of the epidemic, and no one can save me." Duoduo shook his head, trying to push Li Yu away, but he couldn't muster his strength.

"Fuck heavenly punishment, Lao Tzu doesn't understand the reason for reading less, he only recognizes his brother, I will pardon you now." Li Yu hugged Duoduo tighter.

"I'll forget it, in fact, Brother Fourteen has not been easy all these years, there are some things that can't be blamed on him, you can pardon Dorgon." Duoduo shook his head again, trembling and pointing at Haninga and Han Dai next to him, and the two of them even persuaded Li Yu to separate Duoduo.

Li Yu sat down on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying: "I never thought of killing Dorgon, there are some things that really can't be blamed on him, he is wrong because he shouldn't follow the old path of the Ming Kingdom, forget it, I will keep him safe for the rest of his life." ”

"What are you going to do with them?" Duoduo pointed at Han Dai again, who was sentenced by the Datong Supreme Court to be hanged and a group of him, Turai, and Ilde, seeing Li Yu's hesitation, he added, "Turai died of smallpox in Jinhua, and people's evil deeds will be handed over to God for punishment, Brother Erlu, the stability of the northeast frontier of the Datong Federation depends on the effectiveness of Zhushen, you can let them go." ”

At the mention of Tulai, Li Yu felt heartache again, and after a long while, he said to Han Dai: "I can't pardon you, after I am busy here, you will bring all the criminals to Ningguta for me, and from then on I will serve incognito in the army, and whether I am dead or alive depends on God's face." ”

Duoduo nodded, and whispered to Han Dai and Haning, "Protect Manchuria but not the Qing Dynasty", and a few personal Aha immediately took out the seal letter of the general of the expedition to the west, Li Yuleng for a moment, and immediately understood that he would take the big seal.

Duoduo fell asleep again, Li Yu whispered a few words to Aha and walked out of the big tent, at this time it was already completely dark, and the generals of the Eight Banners were still waiting outside the tent, their eyes full of expectation.

"Brothers, you fought very bravely in this battle, and the ancestors of Zhushen will also be proud of it, but the national strength of the Datong Federation is far beyond your imagination, from the beginning of the defeat of the Qing Dynasty has been decided, the responsibility for the defeat lies with the Qing Dynasty, and it should not be borne by you, let alone the whole Manchurian family, the war is about to end, the Datong Federation will ruthlessly destroy the Qing Dynasty, but at the same time, it will spare no effort to help you rebuild your homeland, please believe me, Jueluo Erlu, your Prince of Jin, I will definitely give you back a prosperous and rich Manchuria. ”

Li Yu glanced at everyone, raised the general Yin of Zhengxi in his hand and shouted: "Order all the departments of the Eight Banners, except for the self-defense sword, all other weapons will be handed over, all the soldiers will return to their tents and stand by, and the medical officers and others will immediately rush to the Datong Army camp to obey the orders, Ao Bai and Dasu command the banners to inspect the battalions, and strictly prohibit the soldiers from moving around at will." ”

"Brothers, from now on, we will protect Manchuria and not the Qing Dynasty, everyone will listen to Prince Jin, and this is also Prince Yu's military order." Han Dai and Haninga hurriedly added that they were most afraid of an accident - the main force of the Datong Army had arrived, and the artillery was close to the battalion, and another battle could only wipe out the whole army.

"Protecting Manchuria is not protecting the Qing Dynasty." The soldiers of the Eight Banners responded loudly, to be honest, they really couldn't figure out what the Great Qing Kingdom was, and they always thought that it was a trick of the Han people, in their eyes, the tribal group was their root, and the Prince of Jin should be their head the best, except for a few people with white flags who secretly fled while it was dark, everyone else honestly chose to obey.

In the next few days, Xuanhua prefect Cai Ruxun rushed to the army with hundreds of medical craftsmen and food and medicinal materials, and the federal government was also deeply afraid of the epidemic and itself, so it quickly sent Hu Richa, a sage of the Academy of Sciences, to preside over the prevention and control of the epidemic.

Hu Richa, who was born in a shaman, invented inoculating cowpox to prevent smallpox, but unfortunately everyone always has concerns, there are not many people who are willing to vaccinate cowpox, and now there is finally a chance to show his skills - Li Yu took the lead, and more than 100,000 people in the Datong army and the Qing army were vaccinated with cowpox at the same time, and the old man was busy with hundreds of doctors and craftsmen, and a month later, the smallpox disaster subsided, and vaccinating cowpox has been generally accepted since then.
