Chapter 131: Retreat

Seeing dozens of Qing soldiers jumping down like this, both the Qing soldiers who were preparing to attack under the city wall and the Ming army on the city wall were stunned, is this still the Qing army known for its fierceness?

After Pang Gang smashed the head of a Qing soldier, he looked around, just in time to see the scene of those Qing soldiers rushing to jump under the city wall, his heart was shocked, and then he laughed.

"Hahahaha"

After a while, not only Pang Gang was laughing, but all the Ming soldiers on the city wall laughed, and the laughter of thousands of Ming soldiers reached the ears of Abatai, who was pressing behind.

Seeing that the warriors who had already attacked the city wall were all killed by the Ming army, the remaining dozens of people also fled like lost dogs, and they jumped down from the city wall shamefully. The anger in Abatai's heart reached its peak, and at this time, a loud roar came from afar on the city wall: "π that Tartar, if you still dare to fight now, this official is waiting for you here!" Just please, the people you sent next time don't run away like these wretches! Hahaha"

Abatai heard it, it was the voice of the general of the Ming army named Pang Gang.

"These damn minions." Abatai could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, only felt a hot breath in his heart surging up his throat, his body shook, and then a sweet smell of blood came up in his throat, and a mouthful of blood could no longer suppress the spurt out.

"Spare Belle! Spare Baylor! ”

Seeing that the Lord was vomiting blood, the surrounding generals hurriedly helped Abatai, who was already crumbling on his horseback, patted him on the back and gave him a good breath, and took out a water bladder to feed him water. Abatai's sallow face was slightly better after taking a sip of water, and he slowly shook his head as he looked at the anxious expressions of the generals in front of him, and said gloomily: "Bring me the minions who jumped off the city wall immediately." ”

"Scum!" Immediately, several guards took the order.

After a while, the guards brought the Niu Lu who jumped off his leg and more than a dozen Qing soldiers who did not die, and the Niu Lu who had broken his leg saw Abatai with a gloomy face in front of him, and knew that he would not be able to escape death today. The Niu Lu struggled to break free of the support of several white-armored soldiers, and knelt on the ground and cried to Abatai: "Rao Yu Belle, the slave knows that you have been disgraced today, and the slave knows that it is impossible to escape death, but I hope you can promise the slave one thing." ”

A hint of anger flashed in Abatai's eyes, "You damned minion, what you did has disgraced the face of our Qing warriors, and now you still have the face to beg me?" ”

The Niu Lu laughed miserably and said sadly: "The slave doesn't dare to ask Lord Belle for forgiveness, but the slave still has something to say, otherwise the slave will not be blind." ”

"Good!" Abatai trembled with anger, pointed at the cow and said, "You mean that if I don't let you speak, it's mine, isn't it?" I'd like to see what else you death-scared slave can say, you say! You hurry up and say it, otherwise it will be spread out and others will say that I Abatai will be punished for not teaching! ”

"Just say it!" Niu Lu, who knew that he was already unable to escape death, also let go, and he raised his head and said: "Rao Yu Belle, the slave is just a small Niu Lu, and he is not qualified to talk about military affairs, but the slave knows that this siege is really unnecessary. The Ming army in this city is determined to die, fighting with their lives and not afraid of death, and their firearms are sharp and powerful. Since the start of the war, we have already had more than 2,000 warriors fall under the city walls, and the minions dare to ask Lord Baylor, even if we capture this Texas city, can the wealth and food we get be worth the lives of more than 2,000 warriors? We have five flags under the blue flag, and there are few people, how can we fight with the Ming people? Now we have lost so many people, and we can't recover at all without five to ten years of recuperation, more than 2,000 people, now we will have more than 2,000 families with blue flags who have lost their relatives, we can't fight like this anymore, even if we can capture Texas City, our people with blue flags will die! Lord Belle, I beg you, minions, leave us some seeds with the blue flag! ”

"You, you!"

Abatai trembled and pointed at this Niu Lu so angry that he couldn't speak, and the generals behind him all nodded with empathy, after an hour of fighting, the Qing army has been filled with more than 2,000 people under the city of Dezhou, but looking at Abatai still has no intention of stopping, he is still filling the troops in his hands into the bottomless pit in front of him. At that time, I am afraid that the blue flag will be reduced to a dispensable role in the Eight Banners, and the status of these people will be greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, a Jia Lazhangjing stood up boldly and said: "Rao Yu Beile, although this slave is very wrong, but his words are not unreasonable, our people with blue flags are less than other flags, if we lose too much, it will be very disadvantageous to us." ”

"yes, yes!" Someone started the way, and the other Jialazhangjing immediately echoed, "Rao Yu Beile, these words, including the Mongolian Eight Banners, we have already lost nearly 4,000 people, and we really can't afford to hurt anymore!" ”

"You stupid dog minions, what do you want to do, do you want to rebel!" Abatai saw that there were so many Kala Zhangjing speaking out against it, which was something he had never done since he led the army.

Behind Abatai, the soldiers also tightened their grips on the hilts of their swords, looking at these passionate generals with fierce eyes, as long as Abatai gave an order, they would immediately kill these minions who dared to rebel.

Perhaps it was the first time that all the generals spoke out against it, but at first Abatai was indeed full of anger in his heart, and for a moment he even wanted to order his guards to kill all these generals. But soon he calmed down, not to mention that he was just a spare Baylor, even the owner of the blue flag did not dare to kill so many Jia Lazhangjing at once, you must know which person who can be Jia Lazhangjing is not a person with strength and background in the banner, if so many Jia Lazhangjing are killed at once, the half-brother who has never been waiting to see him will definitely not be able to spare himself.

Thinking of this, Abatai took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and slowly asked, "So your opinion is to withdraw the troops?" ”

Although they saw Abatai's gloomy face, everyone still stubbornly said, "Exactly! ”

Abatai sneered, "Wow! Now you have learned the trick of the Han people forcing the palace and not blaming the public! ”

The generals bowed their heads and remained silent, just using silence to express their inner dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Abatai was even more annoyed in his heart, although he knew in his heart that these people could not be killed, and if there were no people under his own command, these troops would have to be chaotic, but he could not tolerate these people to challenge his authority, one was unwilling to back down, and the other group was unwilling to die, so a group of people stared at each other and stalemate.

At this moment, from a distance, there was a burst of horses' hooves, three people with a small red flag with white trim on their backs, and the small flag with a big "order" written on the small flag quickly rushed into the ranks of the Qing soldiers, and the surrounding Qing soldiers, whether they were small soldiers or officers, avoided one after another, they knew that anyone with this order flag on their backs was not allowed to stop them when they were on their way, and if they stopped them, no matter what official position you had, they would all lose their heads.

After the three cavalrymen entered the camp of the Qing soldiers, they soon saw the big golden dragon on the battlefield, and the three of them immediately ran towards the golden dragon without hesitation, raising dust all the way until they came to Abatai's front before stopping.

The three Qing soldiers dismounted and knelt down in front of Abatai and saluted, "The slave knocks on Lord Belle!" ”

Seeing the red and white flags behind these three heralds, Abatai knew that this must be a herald sent by Azig, the king of Qingwu Yingjun, and only Azig, the commander of this invasion of Ming, had the right to send three heralds to deliver urgent orders at the same time.

Abatai nodded and said in a deep voice, "Get up, what's going on?" ”

"Lord Qi Beile, the king of Yingwu County has an order, ordering you to immediately lead your troops to the land of Jinggi in the Ming Kingdom to have a decisive battle with the people of the Ming Kingdom!"

"What? What the hell happened, how could the King of Yingwu have a decisive battle with the Ming people in their capital! Abatai was shocked, immediately stood up and asked in shock: "Doesn't he know that if we confront the Ming army in the capital, the reinforcements of the Ming Kingdom will continue to pour in like ants, and then drown us?" ”

"Back to Lord Baylor's words, such military aircraft events are not known to minions, and minions are only here to spread the word." Several heralds simply bowed their heads in reply.

The generals of the Qing army, who had been thinking about retiring for a long time, saw that the herald had passed the military order of the king of Yingwu County, and they also persuaded one after another: "Rao Yu Belle, since the king of Yingwu has sent a military order, let's implement it, otherwise if he treats us for the crime of disobeying the order in the future, we can't afford to bear the crime." ”

While persuading Abatai, the generals were very happy in their hearts, and now they could finally withdraw from the army justifiably.

Looking at the eager eyes of the generals, Abatai sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that these generals with blue flags had been chilled by the Ming general named Pang Gang at the head of the city, and now it was pointless to forcibly order them to attack the city, since the herald had brought Azig's order, he had no choice but to go downhill, after a long sigh, Abatai looked at the happy generals beside him for a while, and raised his voice a little unwillingly: "Order, retreat!" ”
