Xu Xingxia raised a clairvoyant mirror to observe the Mongol camp. Sure enough, the Mongols began to retreat slowly. Purely in terms of the action of retreat, the Mongols were still very refreshing. What they were best at was strategic maneuvering, and at this time it was fully exerted, and the white-clothed army did not have much opportunity to pursue, so they could only silently follow behind the Mongols.

Of course, in order to keep the retreat swift, the Mongols also discarded a large number of things. As long as there was anything they didn't need to take away, they threw it all away. After the Mongols retreated, the place where they were stationed was full of wolves. The white-clothed army found a considerable number of corpses of war horses. It is estimated that those wounded war horses were hacked to death by the Mongols. They would rather have their horses hacked to death than be left to the white-clothed army.

Liu Chuang led the soldiers of the chasers to search carefully in the Mongol camp, hoping to find some valuable supplies. After a while, he seemed to have discovered something, took something, came to Xu Xingxia, and said loudly: "My lord, it seems to be a letter, it should be left by Lin Dan Khan." ”

Xu Xingxia said casually: "What content? ”

Zhang Tianhao took it, tore open the seal, took out the letterhead inside, flipped through it casually, frowned and said, "What else can there be?" Challenge the book. Lin Dan Khan failed here and wanted to regain face in Naturalization City. He asked you to fight in the city of naturalization. ”

He handed the letter to Xu Xingxia. Xu Xingxia took it and looked at it carefully. It was indeed a letter from Lin Dan Khan to him. Of course, it was not Lin Dan Khan's handwriting, but Na Song's ghostwriting. Lin Dan Khan hated Xu Xingxia so much that he naturally wouldn't write a letter in person. The content of the letter is very simple, Lin Dan Khan invited Xu Xingxia to go to Guihua City to fight to the death.

Zhang Tianhao said: "This idiot simply doesn't know what to say. ”

Xu Xingxia thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You help me reply to him, I agreed." ”

Zhang Tianhao was stunned, a little incomprehensible. Isn't it too risky to go to Naturalization City for a decisive battle? In other words, the current strength of the white-clothed army seems to be a little difficult to attack Guihua City! You must know that the Black Mountain Camp is two or three thousand miles away from the Naturalization City.

Xu Xingxia said lightly: "If the Naturalization City hinders our development, it will be taken down after all." As for when to take it, it's our business. ”

Zhang Tianhao understood and was immediately excited. Lin Dan Khan did not specify the date of the decisive battle, which means that there is no problem for Xu Xingxia to face the battle after ten or eight years. Maybe it won't take so long for the white-clothed army to enter Naturalization City.

…… The results of the battle statistics are out. Before and after the Battle of Baihuze, there were more than 1,500 dead, wounded, and missing people in the White Clothes Army. The most severely damaged were the Mastiff Cavalry, then the Eagle Cavalry and the Eagle Cavalry. The Mongol losses were more than 15,000 people, and the ratio of the two sides was close to 10 to 1. Victory, there is no doubt that it belongs to the White Army. Despite the considerable cost, the Mongol threat to the Bayannur steppe was temporarily lifted.

This is very important for the future strategy of the White Army. After the Battle of Baihuze, if the Mongols wanted to continue their attack, they had to weigh it. With Lin Dan Khan's strength, unless he is attacking with all his strength, it is definitely not so easy to take down the Bayannur grassland. The strength of the White Army is constantly increasing, which is the most difficult for him to achieve. In the future, the power comparison between him and Xu Xingxia will get closer and closer.

On the contrary, if the white-clothed army wants to take the initiative to attack, the opportunity will slowly mature. The white-clothed army controls the Bayannur grassland and Ningxia Town, learning from each other's strengths and complementing each other's weaknesses, and all military strength can be increased rapidly. In the vicinity of the Montenegrin camp, as long as there is a safe environment for development, various economic indicators will continue to increase. Ningxia Town's congenital conditions are good, and the only thing lacking is a stable development environment.

At this time, Xu Xingxia didn't know about the Leopard Cavalry's entry into Yansui Town. Therefore, in the budget of various military forces, he did not include Yansui Town. If Yansui Town is counted, he will definitely be more optimistic. With the addition of soldiers from Yansui Town, the expansion speed of the white-clothed army will definitely be faster. If necessary, it can be expanded to more than 30,000 people.

While he was talking, someone came to report: "My lord, the Tuyuhun people are here!" ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and said meaningfully: "Let's go, let's take a look!" ”

Soon, the previous leader of Tuyuhun, Houdefu, and the current leader, Oyanga, all arrived. They brought a generous gift to the white-clothed army. The white-clothed army repelled Lin Dan Khan's attack, and the most direct benefit was the Tuyuhun people. If there is no accident, their safety in the Bayannur grassland will not be violated in the short term. To this end, they sent a considerable number of horses, cattle and sheep as a condolence to the soldiers of the White Army.

In the battle of Baihuze, those warriors from Tuyuhun also performed quite well. Overall, Xu Xingxia is quite satisfied. Later, with the deepening of the relationship between the two sides, all the Tuyuhun cavalry may be equipped with muskets and become the direct troops of the White Army. The Tuyuhun people are also happy to accept this. Judging from the current situation of the Tuyuhun tribe, there is no problem in transferring 3,000 strong men to directly participate in the white-clothed army.

In the evening, the white-clothed army held a celebration banquet to celebrate the victory in the battle. The good news had already been sent back to the Montenegrin camp in the morning. At the celebration banquet in the evening, the Tuyuhun people became the hosts. They roasted a large number of cattle, sheep and mutton to reward the soldiers of the white-clothed army who fought hard. They also brought a lot of milk wine. The alcohol content of these milk wines is very low, and even if you pour a few large bowls, you will not get drunk. The soldiers of the white-clothed army all drank with their bellies open, and Xu Xingxia also drank a lot.

The next day, it was the funeral of the fallen soldiers. Xu Xingxia and all the high-ranking generals of the white-clothed army, as well as the main nobles of the Tuyuhun people, all attended the funeral. The bodies of all the martyrs of the White Army were buried in Partridge Ridge. This Partridge Ridge is the place where the martyrs of the White Army were buried before. In fact, it is just a small bulge, and the relative height may only be about 30 meters. Because of the occasional partridge falling, it was named Partridge Ridge.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The carefully selected guard of honor constantly fired guns at the sky, creating a solemn atmosphere. Bursts of gunfire sent away the souls of the heroes one by one. The white smoke produced by each shot formed a circle and continued to drift into the sky. The breeze blew, and around the martyr's cemetery, white flags fluttered, paper flowers flew, and there was a smashing atmosphere.

Xu Xingxia and the others were all solemn, took off their military hats, bent down to salute, and looked at the martyrs one by one, who were buried in a unified manner. The customs of the savannah, the remains of the war dead, are generally cremated. However, the custom of the Han people is burial. Therefore, the white-clothed army used the method of burial. There were not enough coffins, so the bodies were covered with the flags of the white-clothed army.

Although the conditions are a little simple, the atmosphere of the scene is still very solemn. Such a funeral is also a great encouragement to other white-clothed soldiers. After death, there is such a courtesy, and it is not in vain to go to this world. If it was before, after they died, it was estimated that they would wrap a straw mat around their bodies, and just dig a pit and bury it. If you can have a thin coffin, it is estimated that it is a luxury.

Gao Jie's body has almost recovered. He also attended today's funeral. This is the first time he has attended such a funeral. He was very touched by this. Those buried warriors, many of them actually have a chance to survive. It's just that they generously gave up the chance of survival to their mastiff companions. Whenever he thinks of this, Gao Jie can't help himself. Fortunately, Wang Xia had no accidents, otherwise, he would really have to blame himself deeply.

After the funeral, Xu Xingxia adjusted the deployment of the white-clothed army. The main force of the white-clothed army was temporarily stationed in the Bayannur area to continue to protect the safety of the Bayannur grassland. At the same time, it is also a recuperation. All units should seize the time to fill the shortfalls, train new recruits, and build up combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Previously, due to the urgency of the situation, some recruits did not complete all the skills training. Now, we have to find a way to make up for it. It is also necessary to strictly assess.

The vast Bayannur grassland is actually a good training ground. The training of the white-clothed army here is conducive to familiarizing themselves with the basic conditions of the prairie as soon as possible. If there are no accidents, the steppes will be the main battlefield of the White Army for a long time to come. At the same time, the Tuyuhun people who are added to the white-clothed army can also be better integrated into the team of the white-clothed army. The arrival of the Tuyuhun people can better improve the combat effectiveness of the white-clothed army in the prairie.

For the attention of the Mongols, of course, we cannot relax. The Eagle Cavalry, the Eagle Cavalry, and the Eagle Cavalry will continue to keep an eye on the Mongols' movements. In order to better monitor the movements of the Mongols, part of the Tuyuhun cavalry was also incorporated into the Eagle Cavalry or Eagle Cavalry. If necessary, the main force of the white-clothed army will also be dispatched to attack the Mongols on their own initiative.

After Lin Dan Khan and his own reinforcements converge, it is still unknown whether he will launch an attack like the Bayannur grassland. However, even if he attacked again, the white-clad army had nothing to worry about. Because, the current white-clothed army has enough strength to resist the arrival of the Mongols. The big deal is to copy the Battle of Baihuze.

At present, the craftsmen's workshops in Weizhenbao are all starting production at night, and they can produce about 100 Yueyue guns every day, or about 3,000 in a month, which is enough to equip more troops. The three iron-making blast furnaces in Ningxia City also started production at night, providing a sufficient amount of raw materials for building weapons and equipment. Therefore, as long as Xu Xingxia is willing, the number of white-clothed troops can continue to increase until it reaches a terrifying number.

......, "My lord, the envoy of the Lin family is here. Suddenly, Zhang Tianhao came to report.

"The Lin family?" Xu Xingxia didn't react for a while. During this period of time, he was fighting, and he really forgot about the people of the Lin family.

"It's Miss Lin Feirong who is here." Zhang Tianhao explained.

"Oh, it was her! Please! After coming to his senses, Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice.

After a while, Lin Feirong's figure appeared in front of Xu Xingxia. The eldest lady of the Lin family was dressed in black, and her beautiful figure was all covered under the wide black clothes. It seems that she is still a little self-cherished about her figure, and she doesn't want Xu Xingxia to see it. This also shows that she is still a little resistant to Xu Xingxia. After all, all of their Lin family's property in Ningxia City was confiscated by Xu Xingxia.

After meeting, Lin Feirong's expression also fully showed this. This eldest lady of the Lin family is obviously not very friendly to Xu Xingxia. She said a little lightly: "Elder Commissioner, it's really not easy for the little girl to see you!" I thought you would go back to the Black Mountain camp, but I didn't expect to stay in Baihuze for so long. ”

Xu Xingxia didn't care at all about the dissatisfaction in her words. His mind was actually not on her at all. To be honest, now his vision is a little high, and the Lin family, who originally thought that he was high, is no longer in his eyes. No matter how powerful the Lin family is, in front of the bayonets of the white-clothed army, it is like that. In that case, why should Xu Xingxia maintain respect for them? He said casually: "You came for the glass, right?" ”

Lin Feirong said with a little sarcasm: "I hope that the adults have not forgotten the agreement reached between us." In addition, the little woman also wants to ask cheekily, our Lin family's 260,000 taels of silver, I don't know if there is still a possibility of returning? ”

Xu Xingxia said happily: "Of course I won't forget the glass thing." You can send someone to my father to pick up the goods directly. As for the 260,000 taels of silver, even if it is the payment for the goods advanced by your Lin family. As much as I charge you, I will give you as much glass as it is worth, and the money and goods will be cleared. Miss Lin, there's nothing wrong with that, right? ”

Lin Feirong frowned and said, "It seems that the chairman is not as domineering as the outside world legend. ”

Xu Xingxia smiled slightly, signaling that she could sit down and talk. Lin Feirong hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down. Xu Xingxia said with concern: "Lingtang is okay?" ”

Lin Feirong said quietly: "My mother is also a person who has seen big storms, of course there is nothing wrong. Now, the adults are willing to return our Lin family's silver, so naturally it will be even more fine. Speaking of which, I would like to thank my mother for your generosity. In addition, we want to come back to Ningxia City to live, just live in the old house, I don't know if the adults are allowed? ”

Xu Xingxia said bluntly: "I'm a thief with words on my head, do you dare to come back?" Aren't you afraid that the court will label you as a thief? ”

Lin Feirong smiled slightly, and said calmly: "There is nothing that you dare not dare, isn't it just doing business?" Doing business with you is also doing business, doing business with others is also doing business, if you have so many scruples, wouldn't you have to do any business? ”
