Although he was very interested in the elite soldiers behind Pang Gang, everyone knew that now was not the time to talk about this, after Pang Gang and everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, in addition to ordering the baggage soldiers to quickly take the wounded sergeants and the hundreds of carts down for treatment and resettlement, the rest of the people all obeyed Lu Xiangsheng's orders and lined up on the side of the Tianxiong Army directly under Lu Xiangsheng (the previous chapter was written as the Flying Bear Army, which was changed here).

Pang Gang took a look, this treatment is not low, according to the practice of officialdom in ancient China, the closer to the leader, the better the place, and it also proves that the leader values you more, which has caused a lot of hot eyes. However, when Pang Gang commanded more than 3,000 soldiers to line up, he found that as soon as he entered the large array, these thousands of soldiers were like a drop of water sprinkled into the sea, and they couldn't even bubble up, there was no way, after all, more than 3,000 people were too inconspicuous compared to more than 80,000 troops.

After Pang Gang settled his troops, he found a high ground and began to observe the battle situation in front of him, and he found that the offensive of Zu Dashou and Li Chongzhen, who had already gained the upper hand just now, was gradually weakened by the desperate counterattack of the Qing army and reinforcements. However, Zu Dashou's Guanning Iron Cavalry deserved to be a strong force, and it was hard to suppress the elite cavalry of more than 3,000 Qing soldiers out of breath, and under the escort of Zu Dashou's Guanning Iron Cavalry, Li Chongzhen's foot soldiers were able to rest assured that they would fight to the death with the Qing army without worrying about the safety of the flanks.

Seeing this, Pang Gang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his army was missing a cavalry, if he could have three thousand elite cavalry, he wouldn't have to have a headache about how to protect his flanks when fighting. But if you want to have an elite cavalry, the most important thing is to have a good war horse, and forming a cavalry without a war horse is an empty word, and you can't show your great ability. Although Pang Gang has also captured hundreds of Qing army war horses along the way, but these war horses are just a drop in the bucket for Pang Gang who wants to form a certain scale of cavalry team, in Pang Gang's plan, to form a cavalry of 3,000 people, there must be at least six to seven thousand horses, one horse is an indispensable prerequisite, without this condition, the high mobility of the cavalry can not be reflected, you don't see those Qing soldiers' elite cavalry which is not one horse and three horses, It was with this advantage that they were able to travel hundreds of miles south and plunder.

Looking at the Guanning Iron Horse galloping in front of him, Pang Gang only felt that his palms were gradually getting hot, and his body was slowly becoming hotter, and his thirst for war horses in his heart became stronger: "War horses, I need a lot of war horses!" ”

The battle of Xibianmen was fought from the morning to the afternoon when they returned to the camp, in today's battle both sides suffered a lot of casualties, Pang estimated, the number of casualties of the Ming army in one day of the battle was at least more than 10,000 people, although the casualties were not small, but Lu Xiangsheng and the general soldiers around the country were quite interested, because compared with the Ming army, the casualties of the Qing army were not small, this is not now Azig is thundering in the Qing army camp.

"Waste, all of them are waste, at the end of the day, the casualties of my Qing warriors are almost as many as those cowardly Han dogs, do you say you are a group of waste!"

In the big tent of the Qing soldiers, Azig was thundering and threw the porcelain in the big tent to the ground, at this time Azig no longer had the vigor when he first went out in the morning, he was originally full of confidence He was very confident that he would defeat the 80,000 army of the Ming army in one day, and draw a heavy stroke for his military career. But there are unforeseen circumstances, just when the Qing army has the upper hand, it killed a Cheng Biting Gold from the halfway, and this Cheng Biting Jin is still a copper pea that can't be smashed and hammered, he swallowed nearly 4,000 of his soldiers and horses in one breath, and even the Gushan Ezhen Dur with a white flag was cut off by him, and in the next big battle, those Ming troops who were stimulated were like chicken blood screaming and rushing up, they were tired of one team and replaced the other team, taking turns to attack their own side. Under the desperate attack of the Ming army, the Qing army inevitably suffered a lot of casualties, when Azig received the casualty figures sent up after the following statistics, they almost did not vomit blood, and they suffered more than 7,000 casualties this morning.

What is the concept of more than 7,000 casualties? These seven or eight thousand people plus the more than 4,000 people killed by Abatai under the city of Dezhou are more than 10,000 people, which represents one-fifth of the total strength of the Qing army's invasion of Guannai, and how many troops are there in the entire Manchuria at this time? In fact, until the seventh year of Chongde (1642), the total strength of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty, the Eight Banners of the Mongols, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army never exceeded 200,000 (according to another account, 100,000). The troops carried by Azig into the customs this time are equal to a quarter of the total strength of the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now the loss of more than 10,000 people accounts for almost five percent of the entire Manchu Qing army.

Azig led the army south this time to grab money, food, and people, but he never thought that he had grabbed something, but he was also beaten by others, and his face was swollen, and now Azig no longer dared to imagine how to face Huang Taiji's thunderous roar after going back.

The generals looked at Azig, who had almost lost his mind, and all of them were silent, and finally everyone turned their eyes to Abatai, who had the highest status in the big tent except for Azi, hoping that he could stand up and say something, but at this time, Abatai sat on the side like a monk who had attained enlightenment and closed his eyes to recuperate, ignoring the eyes cast by the generals, and secretly sneered in his heart: "Now that I see Benbele, why did you go earlier?" Didn't you all laugh at Bembele last time for losing more than 4,000 soldiers? After today's battle, I see what you have to say. ”

Seeing that Abatai didn't buy it, and everyone had no choice, Yanguli finally stood up and clasped his fists at Azig and said: "My lord, although our army has suffered a lot of losses, but the Ming army has not been much better, you don't have to mind, if you are angry, your body will not be beautiful." ”

Yanguli's voice trembled slightly when he said this, more than 10,000 warriors of the Qing Dynasty, how many years will it take for these populations to be replenished? This morning's table tennis was gone all of a sudden, and anyone who changed it would have to tremble in distress.

Azig, who was blushing, didn't pay attention to his henchman, but just looked at the tent and was silent, and for a while there was silence in the tent.

I don't know how long it took, Abatai saw that this was not a solution, so he stood up and said, "Twelfth brother, let's withdraw our troops, although the loss of this entry plan is greater, but we still have gains, at least now we still have more than 100,000 Ming people and a large amount of money and food in the camp, and it is not considered nothing." After we go back, even if the emperor blames us, they will treat us lightly compared to the rich harvest this time. ”

After listening to Abatai's words, Azig finally spoke, and he asked the generals with a calm face, "What do you think about this?" ”

The generals glanced at each other, and a Jialazhangjing stood up and said respectfully: "Master, the slave thinks that what Rao Yu Belle said still has some truth, and we have grabbed enough things, and it is time to go back." ”

"Yes, Lord Junwang, although the capital of the Ming Kingdom is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time, this is like a magnet, as long as we stay here, the reinforcements of the Ming Kingdom will continue to pour in like ants, and one more day of stay here will be one more day of risk."

The generals stepped forward one after another to persuade Azig to withdraw his troops, in their opinion, since this is so dangerous, let's not stay longer, we have robbed enough a few days ago, and now it is time to go back.

Seeing that the generals persuaded him to withdraw his troops, although Azig was still silent on his face, but his heart was cool, he knew that the Ming army had already played a momentum today, and those Ming generals would definitely continue to attack desperately tomorrow, if he did not withdraw his troops as soon as possible, maybe his reputation would really be ruined here, thinking of this, Azig still had a decision in his heart

Unlike the gloomy clouds in the big tent of the Qing army, there was a lot of laughter in the camp of the Ming army, none of them thought that today would be so smooth at the end of the day, and they could achieve a great victory in annihilating more than 7,000 people of the Qing army, although the casualties of the Ming army were almost twice that of the Qing soldiers, but is this important? If the soldier is gone, he will recruit again.

In Lu Xiangsheng's tent, the generals of the Ming army gathered together, everyone happily talked about today's battle situation, and they were all in high spirits, and the atmosphere in the big tent was extremely warm, and Pang Gang was also in this big tent. Originally, the person who was qualified to enter this big tent was either the general soldier or the deputy general, and he was not qualified to sit here as a small thousand households, but because he had made great contributions today, Lu Xiangsheng specially allowed him to participate in tonight's banquet, but even so, he could only sit in the last position at the door of the big tent.

Not enough Pang Gang didn't mind this, just sat on his seat and hugged a pig's trotter and gnawed violently, and listened to the generals around him talk about the mountain.

Because it was the time of the Great War, no alcohol was allowed in the big tent, and the generals only replaced the wine with tea. Lu Xiangsheng held a bowl of tea and slowly tasted it while looking at the elated generals, but a trace of wisdom flashed between his eyes from time to time.

After a long while, seeing that all the generals had eaten almost enough, Lu Xiangsheng looked around for a while, and finally stopped at Pang Gang, and asked with a smile: "Pang Qianhu, you have made a great contribution today, and this governor will ask the emperor for your credit." However, the governor also has something unclear, and I hope Pang Qianhu can solve the doubts for the governor! ”

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng speak, all the generals suddenly calmed down, and looked at Pang Gang who was sitting almost at the door of the big tent
