The fire burned for five whole days, and in some places, after seven days, there were open flames, but no one bothered with it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

From the second day of the fire, the surrounding troops began to withdraw one after another, and they wanted to control the power of the great victory, and go to touch the invincible Tartar soldiers in front of the Yanmen Pass.

Almost at the same time, the first battalion of the cavalry town, which had begun to dispatch with the same Mayi, had begun to tentatively prepare to contact the Tartars to encircle San'in, and a full 1,500 cavalry rushed out of the city, and then began to slowly approach the county seat of San'in.

This fire has changed not only the comparison of strength between the two sides, but now, the total strength of the four towns under Li Jing's command has reached 43,000 people, and the commander of Zilharang only has one of his own blue flags, and the remaining two remnants of the red flag and the remnants of the positive blue banner are no longer enough to support him to continue fighting.

Whether it was the Tiance army in front of him who began to aggressively challenge out of the city, or the soldiers and horses of the first battalion of the cavalry town in Shanyin, Mayi and other places behind him, they all warned him at all times, that is, whether to fight or withdraw, he should make up his mind immediately, otherwise when the beggar army came up, he might not have much way to live.

Yes, after losing the 7,000 men and horses of the vanguard led by Yueto and Abatai, a large gap was opened in his flank, and there was no one to cover his flank from the distance from San'in to Yanmen, and Sakhalian behind him was also unable to divide his troops and horses to ensure his safety.

Although he still has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses on hand, it is almost impossible to turn defeat into victory.

"Nanban erection, I am inseparable from you!"

When Bai Jia, who went to the secret passage to investigate, brought back the news of the annihilation of Yue Tuo's soldiers and horses, Zierharang could no longer hold back the grief and anger in his heart, and directly spurted out a mouthful of old blood directly on the war horse, and then fell off the horse, panicking that a group of Taiji and Ezhen around him came up to rescue.

Things have come to this point. It was no longer possible to continue fighting, and after the detour to Yanmen, the partial division that tried to capture and ravage the interior of Shanxi was over. They didn't have a good way to face the Yanmen Xiongguan, there was no internal response in the city, and the second was that the guards had the determination to die, and even Sanyin they were in a stalemate. And what about here?

"Woo~woo~!"

The low horn of the retreating soldiers sounded under the Yanmen Pass, and the Tatar soldiers began to return to the camp one after another, packing their bags and preparing to retreat, but unfortunately, Zheng Renbao was so easy to get along with, after receiving the emergency reinforcement of the four battalions of the cavalry town, he even did not hesitate to line up with the main force, ready to fight to the death with the Tartar soldiers.

But he was passive by the swift and sharp speed of the Tartars. The first battalion he even sent out, just lined up, and the last ox of the Tartars got directly on their horses and galloped out of the camp, galloping to the north, and they didn't care about packing up the looted grain, grass and other baggage, and the Tartars who wanted to run were also warhorses, which was difficult to do.

"Governor, are we chasing or not?"

The battalion under the head is right. Brigade rate, each came up to ask for battle, this battle, the fight is really exciting. At the last minute, they still wanted to get out of the city and fight, preferably if they could catch up with the Tartar's flank and kill him for a while.

"We only have four cavalry battalions in our hands, not even less than six thousand cavalry, if we rush to catch up. Fear? ”

Zheng Renbao was a little undecided, you must know that if the Tartar soldiers in front of him converged with the army of Shanyin, at least the number of them would be more than 10,000, and they were all cavalry, and his main force was still ending the battle from Dai County, and he was on the way to Yanmen.

But the speed of the infantry is too slow, and it will not be able to catch up for a while, so there is nothing to do.

"Governor, why don't you gather the oxen and horses in the city, put ropes on them, and use them as ox carts, so that our infantry can also keep up with the speed of the cavalry brothers? Just catch up, if the Tartars dare to fight, the ten battalions of our cavalry town will catch up together, are you afraid that he will not? ”

A battalion was thinking about it, isn't this the 300 cattle and 500 horses that San'in and other places exchanged from outside the mouth? Directly put on it, the whole 500 board car, with two or three thousand infantry troops, is by no means difficult.

"It's not proper, this horse is used as a cattle cultivator in the interior of Shanxi, and it can't be lost here."

Li Jing is a heavy farmer, based on agriculture, how can the people below not know that if this kind of proposal is held accountable afterwards, it may not necessarily hit anyone, Zheng Renbao doesn't want to make such a mistake.

But looking at the generals who were eager to fight, he had to say something, so he pondered for a while, and simply came up with the safest way.

"Four cavalry battalions, temporarily deployed by me, out of Yanmen Pass, directly from the Tartar soldiers ten miles to catch up, in case of the Tartars reflexively engaged in the battle must go, I will go out of the city with four foot battalions, temporarily relieve the siege of Shanyin, and then go out of the north road directly to reinforcements, if the Tartars insist on escaping, can not be forced to stay, but if the Tartars are alone, they are bound to stay,"

"Whoa!"

When several battalions heard this, this battle was coming to an end, and they were afraid that they would not be able to make any contributions, but those little Jiujiu in their hearts were immediately interrupted by Zheng Renbao's other words,

"If anyone dares to go into a wave battle easily, they will be severely punished by military law, not to mention that you think that this battle will have no merit?"

He mentioned it with a smile, and then recruited several battalions together, pointing to the north,

"In this battle, the Lord regained Datong Town, and you said, is the credit great?"

In the south, Li Mao attacked the Liukou and the official army, occupied the south of Jin, and in the future, at least the governor of the capital would not be able to escape, if these people could take advantage of the victory to recover the entire Datong Town, or even go north to occupy Xuanfu, then Li Jing directly attacked Beijing and occupied a favorable situation, and then a credit would definitely not be able to run away.

Therefore, all the generals responded in unison, and then each went down with joy.

"The Tartars have finally done a good thing for us."

Zheng Renbao smiled and watched the armies move north one after another, then stood at the head of the city, and looked at it with satisfaction, this time, Datong Town has Gao Xun as the internal response, and each city and fort has its own brothers in it, as long as the soldiers and horses arrive, they can open the city to welcome, and then the officers and troops of Datong Town will be integrated, which is another help.

"Lord Belle, what's wrong with you? Are you better? ”

But it was said that the Tartar soldiers, all the way to the bottom of the city of Shanyin, were already on their backs, and had to enter the Sanyin military camp to rest for a while, and when Sakhalian, who presided over the siege, heard the news, Mazir Harang was already seriously ill, and he was suddenly frightened with cold hands and feet.

Zilharang's dry lips and pale face, as if the fire in the secret passage, completely burned him down, and now in his heart, only endless remorse and resentment remained, but unfortunately, it was useless to say more, the most important thing for him now, and what he cared about the most, was to bring the main force of this army back to the gate safely, so he struggled to get up,

Holding Sakhalian's hands tightly, he said,

"I can't do it now, you command the whole army on my behalf, you must return north in the starry night, go out of Xinping, converge with the Derge class, and quickly lead the troops to return, please make a decision on the Great Khan."

Sakhalian didn't even know any news about it until now, he just kept contacting Jilharang under the Yanmen Pass through scouts, and was ready to enter Yanmen at any time, and he didn't know anything about the partial division led by Yue Tuo and Abatai.

So he asked suspiciously, "Lord Belle, don't you wait for Yue to trust them?" ”

"I told you to go quickly~!"

Zilharang didn't bother to explain too much, and suddenly roared and said, but unfortunately soon came out with a violent cough.

No matter how stupid Sakhalian is, he knows the urgency of the situation at this moment, even Zilharang, who has always regarded the southern barbarians as nothing, is so anxious, it must be that there is something wrong with the partial division, but unfortunately, he doesn't know what is wrong!

"Master, in the south and west, there are Ming army rangers haunting, and they are fighting with our army scouts, please make a decision quickly."

Sakhalian was about to ask again, but seeing that Zilharang had fallen asleep, he could only turn back, ready to ask the steward of the blue flag, and happened to meet the scout who came to report as soon as he went out, and he was suddenly shocked, when did the cavalry of the Southern Barbarians dare to challenge the invincible Jurchen warriors?

But soon, after he sent the scouts out of the camp and sent a full hundred horsemen to chase down the cavalry of the Southern Barbarians, he got the news of the fiasco in the secret passage.

"What?! Where's my brother?! ”

Since the time of Nurhachi, several sons of Daishan have been separated from Daishan's upbringing due to their father's abuse, including Yuetuo, Shuotuo, and Sakhalian, all of whom are almost like passers-by with their fathers, but there is still some affection between brothers and sisters, so he did not care about the safety of the army, but first asked Yuetuo's whereabouts, if he died, what would he do?

If there is no Yue Tuo's inlaid red flag in front, and there is no special affection between Yue Tuo and Huang Taiji, why should he stand in the red flag? Just because he is the son of Daishan?

The worst result is that the forces opposing Dai Shan in the two red flags are uprooted, and Dai Shan is back in charge of the two red flags, but this is bound to suffer a blow from Huang Taiji, but if Dai Shan abdicates and makes way for Xian, Sakhalian thinks that he and Shuotuo's talents and qualifications cannot control the two red flags, can he sit back and watch these two flags be taken away by outsiders?

The associated influence has already appeared, but now, the first task is to take this relatively intact army, quickly rush back, the worst, to meet with the Derge class, they have failed, they must admit, and the southern barbarians dare to attack, and if they can't figure out their reality, it is best to retreat first.

So, under the tail pursuit of the entire six battalions of the cavalry town, Sakhalian temporarily commanded the army to return north as a bezi, but this road is not so easy to walk, at least the main force of the beggar army that completely freed up his hands, more than 20 battalions in the whole four towns, has been catching up from behind, perhaps, a new big war, is about to begin!
