At the same time that Lao Hu ran to ventilate the news, the messenger of Ulan Hada was also rushing to the Lao Ha River - Zhang Shi'an was ordered to go to Beijing to monitor the actions of the imperial court, and the news of the defeat of the Songjin army was kept secret for a few days before the news leaked, of course he understood what this meant to the Fengzhou army that went deep into the enemy's territory, and immediately asked Dongchang for customs clearance documents, took two entourages, each with three horses and two horses from Xifengkou out of the customs, ran non-stop for five days, and rushed to Ulan Hada to report the exact news of the Songjin War.

Chang Shu was so angry that his face turned pale, and he still held the imperial edict he had just received in his hand, which said that the Songjin War was in full swing, and the two armies could not hold each other, and the imperial court was willing to send food and salary to help naturalize Bo to achieve great achievements - the imperial court suffered the defeat of the Eastern Captives, and in turn they would lay a black hand on them, and they would not fight, and they would settle the accounts after returning to Fengzhou. Chang Shu immediately made a decision, and immediately issued an urgent order to Li Yu, Xue Xianguang, and Dehun An to retreat, and at the same time ordered Zhang Shi'an and Fan Erxi to lead the merchant army to escort the captured Mongolian nobles to withdraw first, and Ulan Hada City was thrown to the Qing government-run commercial house.

At this time, Lengkou Pass had an accident, Fengzhou auxiliaries and the Ming army guarding the pass started to fight - it was all caused by food, Fengzhou people thought they were fighting for the Ming Dynasty, the court did not pay the military salary is very unreasonable, and it is simply hurtful to not give food to eat, and the officials of the Ming State think that it is a waste of the blood and sweat of the people of the Ming Dynasty to give food to the Beiyu, and it is even more impossible to pay the amount, do you understand the rules, and the food and salary for the officials and soldiers are at most sixty percent, you have to do it according to the rules if you have the emperor's edict, five CD is not given, and half of it has to be replaced with black beans for livestock - The officials were full of disgust for the barbarians, and without hesitation, they put the blood and sweat of the Ming people into their pockets, and only allocated more than 20,000 stone rice beans to the Fengzhou army one after another, and then closed the city gate and ignored it. Is it to speak for Da Ming or for the barbarians?

The Fengzhou auxiliary soldiers were not angry, ran to the front of the pass to theorize, and the cold pass garrison was annoying, and ordered the officers and soldiers to go out of the pass to drive away these nasty miscellaneous soldiers, but I didn't expect that all the people in Fengzhou were soldiers, and the auxiliary soldiers were not afraid of fighting, and they were afraid of fighting, and they injured more than a dozen officers and soldiers when they picked up the guys. The officers and soldiers were beaten, and their attitudes immediately eased, and they said to the auxiliaries that there is still some grain in the city, you can get it yourself, a Chahar thousand households brought a hundred people into the customs to transport grain, but they were all shot by the Ming army in the urn city.

The Fengzhou auxiliaries were angry, dragged out the lifting guns, leather cannons and the defenders of the Guanshang to shoot, and at the same time made a ladder to prepare for the siege, Zhang Liwei, who was sitting in the auxiliary camp in front of the Guan, not only did not stop the conflict, but also commanded the siege with red eyes, Yang Tinglin and Liu Wenzhong knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran to Karacheng to find Xue Xianguang - if they didn't leave, they were afraid that they would be beaten.

Xue Xianguang listened to Yang Tinglin and Liu Wenzhong's narration, and sat up in fright, but there was such a thing when the army was about to retreat, fortunately Zhu Riga went to arrange the grain table, otherwise it would be even more chaotic.

"How did Zhang Liwei do it, at this time, he didn't withdraw his troops in time, but went to make trouble." Xue Xianguang said as he packed up his armor.

"Lao Xue, this time it was the Ming people who bullied us, I can't blame Zhang Liwei, you take people to withdraw first, and I'll go to Lengkou Pass." Dehun An interjected on the side, he beat the Karaqin soldiers who suddenly appeared in the Daling River Valley, killed more than 300 people, and the rest fled, and received Chang Shu's order to withdraw his troops, and just rushed to Karacheng to meet Xue Xianguang.

"Will you make a bigger fuss, or let me go, there are two thousand auxiliaries in Kara City, you can take them to withdraw together." Xue Xianguang patted Dehun An's shoulder, the two have worked together in the eastern Taiwan for a long time, and they are already old friends.

Dehun An thought for a while and said, "You will withdraw as soon as you arrive at Lengkou Pass, and I will stay in Kara City for two more days." ”

After Xue Xianguang left, the auxiliary soldiers began to retreat from Karacheng, Yang Tinglin and Liu Wenzhong also followed the team, but there were six or seven hundred auxiliary soldiers who heard that there might be a battle, and they trembled with excitement, and insisted on staying with the battalion soldiers. But a temporary fight is enough.

Dehun An immediately sent a large number of scouts in the direction of the Daling River, and the captured Karaqin people confessed that the battle of Jinzhou was over, and a large number of Qing troops were rushing to Karaqin, including thousands of Eight Banner soldiers, but these guys never appeared, and if they suddenly killed Lengkou Pass, the five thousand auxiliary soldiers there would be in danger.

For two consecutive days, there was no incident, and on the morning of the third day, he also received a letter from Xue Xianguang that the auxiliary troops had retreated along the Luan River, and asked Dehun An to immediately pursue them. It seems that there will be no problem, the auxiliaries march slowly, let them go farther, I will withdraw the troops again tonight - Dehun An breathed a sigh of relief, but in the afternoon the situation changed abruptly, and the scouts urgently reported the discovery of the Qing army.

"There are about 10,000 Qing soldiers, everyone has horses, and there are a few camp cannons, half of which are Eight Banner soldiers, and the rest are Mongols, who are marching westward, and the one who sees Daxu leading the troops should be Azig, the king of Wuying County." The scout captain is a veteran who defected from the blue flag and explains the enemy situation very clearly.

Dehun An was taken aback, and hurriedly sent someone to find the deputy battalion officer, and said while putting on his armor: "Tubida, you take the auxiliary soldiers to defend the city, and then send a letter to Chang Shu and Lao Xue, telling them to withdraw quickly, I will go and attract the Qing army, Azig still has a hand in fighting." ”

"We only have a thousand battalions, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight this battle." Tubida replied with a shake of his head.

"I don't care so much, let's fight first!" Dehun An waved his hand and hurriedly set off with the right battalion.

At dusk, Dehun An fled back to Karacheng with his team, and was very proud that this trip was not in vain, killing dozens of Eight Banner soldiers, and by the way, scattering more than 1,000 Karaqin people.

"The Qing army beat us with bows and arrows and horses, but I didn't expect that we still had a lot of this guy, and they took turns to shoot volleys at them, and the hemp suffered a loss and wanted to retaliate, so they chased after the Qing soldiers." Dehun An held up a foot gun and said, the range of the foot gun is much farther than that of the horse gun, and the Fengzhou cavalry is also equipped with some, and some people also bought it from their own pockets to spare, and the foot gun and the horse gun shoot at each other, of course Dehun An took advantage.

Tubida was a little stunned when he looked at the Qing army that was rushing towards him, and shook his head slightly: "I can remind you, our gunpowder is only enough to fight for three days. ”

"Don't worry, I'll only fight for one day, and I'll break through tomorrow night." Dehun Anman didn't care.

The Qing army quickly surrounded the city of Kara, but before the artillery arrived, it was obvious that it would not attack the city, a group of Eight Banners soldiers were angry and came to the city to theorize, Fengzhou sold us cavalry horses, but their own cavalry played the starting guns, isn't this a lie, hand over the guns, the city immediately sounded a "stupid donkey", "stupid bear" laughter - Eighty percent of the Dehun An department is full of people, some people still know the Eight Banners soldiers under the city, and the two sides are noisy without fear.

Azig came out this time to play tricks, guessing that there must be a Fengzhou army at the mouth of the Daling River valley, so he sent a thousand Karaqin people to attract the opponent, and he led the main force to go off the road to the vicinity of the original Daningwei, and then rushed westward, intending to meet with the Northern Route Army first and then look for fighters, but Dehun An suddenly appeared and stalked him to take advantage of him, Azig couldn't bear it anymore, and chased him here with the Qing army.

This kind of earth-breaking city can be solved tomorrow by the rebels of Dehun An without fighting-Azig looked at Kara City from afar, and felt a little disdainful in his heart, and waited for Mel Zhangjing Baige to quietly come over and volunteer to persuade him to surrender.

"The artillery has arrived, let's subdue them first." Azig pushed Bai Ge away, ordered the gunners to put the four 500-pound camp cannons in one line, and must blast the city open tonight, and then yawn back to rest, this time of non-stop fighting, really tired him.

This night, the Qing army repeatedly bombarded the city wall, the Fengzhou army let it go and did not react, at dawn it had hit a slope five or six zhang wide, Azig Meimei slept for a while, and when he woke up, he heard that the effect was good, and immediately gave an order to Gulu Siqibu - the city is down, and your people will go first.

The Karaqin people had never learned to siege the city, and when they arrived at the city, they were at a loss, and Gulusi Qibu could not afford to lose people, so he ordered the slaves to pick up the whip and drive the people to the city. The Karaqin people were climbing upwards in a hurry, two trumpet arrows exploded in the air, and a dense rain of arrows was poured immediately, and at the same time, countless hand-thrown mines were also thrown on the walls on both sides, and the Karaqin people had almost no armor, and fell in pieces in the firelight, and the living people turned their heads and ran away in fright.

Gurusibu was terrified, but there was Azig standing behind him, and he didn't dare to take a step back when he was killed, so he drove his subordinates to rush up one after another. The Karaqin people were forced to launch repeated attacks in desperation, but the opponent's weapons were too sharp, and they could easily kill them one by one, and finally rushed to the top of the city, and were hit by five or six cannons and hundreds of firearms under the gap, and almost died as soon as they appeared.

The Eight Banners immediately covered with cannons and bows and arrows, but the opponent had many leather cannons, and there were also a large number of guns and rifles, condescending to bully the Eight Banners soldiers who only had bows and arrows, horse guns and four small cannons, and the Eight Banners suffered a loss, and soon shrank back, watching the Karaqin people continue to roll down the slope, and it didn't take long for the corpses to pile up several layers under the city.

It's a massacre, Guruth Qibu is bleeding in his heart, and from time to time he sneaks a glance at Azig, the hemp is ruthless enough, except for constantly waving his hand to signal the attack, his face is expressionless. After noon, Gulu Siqibu couldn't bear it anymore and begged for his men to retreat and drink the soup before fighting, and Azig only then showed a smile and told the Karaqin people to rest and see how his Eight Banners attacked the city.

The Eight Banners soldiers have eaten and drunk enough, the dead soldiers in front of them are wearing two layers of heavy armor and rushing upwards with a roar, arrows and hand thunder have little effect on them, and soon climb up to the city head and extend to the city walls on both sides, the Eight Banners soldiers under the city also went crazy, regardless of the casualties, rushed to the root of the city to shoot arrows and hit guns, and the Fengzhou army also rushed into the gap without showing weakness, and did not give an inch to fight with the Eight Banners.

"Old Zhushen, follow me, kill these dogs of the Aixin Jueluo family," Tubida led a sentry to rush up the gap, this man had done the blue flag and white armor, and his hand-to-hand combat ability was extremely strong, and he knocked down two Eight Banner soldiers in the blink of an eye, and also smashed a guy's head with a horse gun, and the morale of the Fengzhou soldiers was greatly boosted, and they used axes to chop, stabbed with riding spears, and even fired at the other party's face with a fire gun, and the Qing army was frightened and involuntarily pushed back.

These minions are all vying for the first place in the Ming army, how can they meet the Fengzhou soldiers and make a nest - Azig was annoyed and angry, and rushed to the front and shouted: "Which slave dares to retreat and kill him, rush up and kill the rebellion of this group of Manchurians, and reward the land and the future!" ”

The soldiers of the Eight Banners were outnumbered, and they continued to put their troops into the gap, and Tubida attacked against each other without retreating, and the casualties on both sides increased sharply. Dehun An hurriedly transferred the five tiger squat cannons in the battalion to the city wall, and continuously hit the light armor soldiers outside the gap with flowering shells, and the auxiliary soldiers also lifted the leather cannons up the gap, almost casting shotguns against the opponent. In the half-day offensive and defensive battle, the heavy armored soldiers of the Eight Banners were killed and wounded, and the light armored soldiers behind were also killed and wounded in large numbers, but they could not shake the city defense, and Azig had to stop the siege at dusk.

This night, Azig tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, when there was a sudden sound of guns and shouts outside the camp, Aha ran to report that the Fengzhou army raided the Karaqin camp, Azig turned over and got up, the opponent may want to escape, can not let them go, immediately led two thousand cavalry reinforcements.

Dehun An is very confident in breaking through, Fengzhou has good military horses and weapons, and the other party still has the weakness of the Karaqin people, so it is not so easy to stop him. At the beginning, it was indeed smooth, the Karaqin people were demoralized, had no intention of fighting, and collapsed almost without resistance, Dehun An fought a bloody way, covering the auxiliary troops to withdraw first, and found that the other party's reinforcements had arrived, relying on the speed of the horse and the strength of the equipment to take the initiative to attack, throwing thunder at the head of the Eight Banners as if they didn't want money, bows and arrows, and firearms continued to shoot the Eight Banners soldiers off their horses by the light of the fire, and Azig was defeated in a daze. At this time, it suddenly rained in the sky, and it was getting heavier and heavier, the firearms of the Fengzhou army suddenly became an ornament, Azig was overjoyed, and took the lead in rushing to the Fengzhou army, and the Gulu Siqibu who was beaten to the ground was also bold, and summoned the remnants of the defeated generals to make a comeback, and the Fengzhou army broke through and was blocked, except for the four hundred auxiliary soldiers who successfully escaped, the other thousand people were blocked by the Qing army.

Dehun An and Tupida scolded God for not being long-sighted, and quickly retreated to Kara to straighten out the city's defenses - Azig would not give them much time. Sure enough, the genius was bright, the Qing army launched a fierce attack again, the sky was drizzling, the effect of firearms was greatly reduced, the two sides exchanged their lives for their lives to start hand-to-hand combat, the Qing army's strength advantage was too great, and gradually gained the upper hand, the Fengzhou soldiers were red-eyed, and smashed barrels of gunpowder on the head of the Qing army, and the fire under the city of Kara was soaring, the wolf howled and the ghost howled, and the Qing army's attack ended hastily.

One day of fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties, Dehun An and Tubida understood that it was impossible to break through the siege, and the whole army was doomed to be wiped out if they continued to fight, and the officers also wanted to drink old wine together - everyone had land and livestock, and there were still Shixun and bereavement pensions to be taken if they died in battle, and their wives and children would not worry about their future lives, and it would not be a big deal if the soldiers lived and died.

At night, Bai Ge suddenly came to the city and named him to see Dehun An-Azig couldn't hold his breath, he was only 5,000 banner soldiers, and he only fought for two or three days and killed more than 600 people, if he consumed his troops in this small earthen city, how would he fight in the future? The more Azig thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he sent Baige to persuade him to surrender.

Bai Ge is an old friend of Fengzhou, and he spoke straight to the point: "Dehun An, we have known each other for more than ten years, you know who I am, listen to me, disarm and surrender, save the lives of my brothers, and talk about any conditions." ”

"We are Lao Zhushen's soldiers, and we will not give in to the Aixin Jueluo family, let Azig come to fight, we will not die." Tubida replied with a sharp rise to his feet.

"Confused, no matter how bad the Aixin Jueluo family is, what's the use of you when you die, if you live, there will be hope for everything." Bai Ge said sharply.

Dehun An stood up with a pale face, waved his hand and said, "Don't make any noise, convene a meeting of officers above the captain level, and I will talk about this matter in person." ”

"There has never been a precedent for the Toyoshu army to disarm and surrender, and you will make the entire cavalry front association suffer humiliation." Tubida reminded solemnly.

"I'll give you an explanation." Dehun An bowed his head and walked out.

The officers soon arrived, and Bai Ge heard a lot of noise in the big tent, sighed and found a tent to rest, and when it was almost dawn, Dehun An found him.

"Brother Baige, the brothers have discussed for a night, we can surrender, but you must agree to a few conditions, otherwise we will fight to the end, first, we will go home immediately after surrendering, and the Qing army shall not detain it for any reason; Second, we surrendered only guns, armor, and battles, but kept horses, swords, spears, bows and arrows; Third, we are citizens of Fengzhou, and the Qing army is not allowed to insult or beat us, let alone ask us to kneel and bow; There are hundreds of local families in the fourth city, and they have nothing to do with the war, and you are not allowed to invade or kill. ”

"Your horses also have to be delivered, but don't worry, I promise to provide you with enough good horses." Bai Ge nodded and added - Azig had long noticed that about thirty percent of his opponent's horses were tall and sturdy new horses, which was what he coveted the most.

After dawn, Azig went to the city and swore to the sky in front of the two officers and soldiers to abide by the agreement with the Fengzhou army, and then ordered Dehun An in the city to disarm and surrender.

"King Wuyingjun, of course I keep my promise, I hope you will also be true to your words and deeds, otherwise God will not let you go." Dehun An nodded, and suddenly felt a horse gun that lit the fire rope, Azig was startled, and before he could react, Dehun An stuffed the gun into his mouth, and with a muffled sound, his brain burst and fell.

At the end of the attack and defense of Karacheng, Tubida led the remaining more than 600 people to surrender to the Qing army, of which 30% were wounded. Unexpectedly tolerant, Azig refused to accept the battalion flag of the right battalion, cutting off only one horn as a memorial, and then provided the horses and road rations as promised, allowing the captives to go home on the road.

Two days later, this remnant army met its main force, Li Yu, who was too late to hurry, looked at the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

"Brothers fight to the end, even the enemy also shows respect, Kubai, Tulichen, you should be proud," Li Yu glanced at the cavalry front and deputy association, walked to the middle of the soldiers and said loudly: "Dehun An is good, the right battalion of the front association is good, this is a 'glorious surrender' that can be recorded in history, you are qualified to go home with your waist up." ”
