On the east bank of the Heihe River, the number of camps has almost doubled. It stands to reason that the increase in the number of people should be a little more noisy than before.

However, the current camp is very quiet. Even those patrolling soldiers were also dejected, completely lacking the fierce pride they had before.

In their big tent of the Chinese army, only two young people sat opposite each other. The older one of them can be seen with a tired face.

He is one of the slave chiefs, Aixinjue Lodolgon. I was in a hurry for days, and after I arrived last night, I only rested for the first half of the night, even if I was young, it was impossible for my body not to be tired.

I saw that his face was ugly, and he frowned and hesitated again and again before he looked up at Duoduo and said, "Rest for a day, and then retreat!" ”

"What, retreat?" As soon as Dodor heard this, the whole person jumped up, as if it were a cat with its tail stepped on, "Impossible! Not to mention anything else, as far as the Baya soldiers are concerned, I have lost more than 120 in succession, and more than 70 have died on your side. ”

When Duoduo said this, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and roared: "If you don't take revenge, you will not return to the army!" Brother, do you think we can't defeat Naturalization City? ”

For the Jianyu at this time, the defense of Guihua City was far inferior to that of other Ming cities, and they were naturally confident that they could fight it.

Therefore, Dorgon did not deny it, but only looked a little tired, and asked Dorgon rhetorically: "How much benefit can you get from conquering this city, and how many people will die, is it worth it?" ”

Duoduo was stunned for a moment, the thoughts flashed through his mind, and after a while, his momentum weakened a little.

Dorgon knew that Dordor was not stupid, but he was too young and impulsive, so he was patient. He asked earnestly: "If we suffer heavy losses in order to defeat the Naturalization City, do you think we can still sit on the position of the banner master?" ”

This is a matter of personal interests, and for Jianyu, the owner of the flag is the master of the entire flag. Everyone else is a minion. Losing this position, the status can be imagined.

The look on his face that was still extremely angry just now suddenly withered, but he was really unwilling in his heart, and looked at Dorgon and asked, "Is that it?" ”

"Of course you can't just forget it, go back and tell Huang Taiji, let him clean up and call the heavenly army." Dolgon's face grimaced, and he replied slowly.

When Duoduo heard this, he blinked his eyes and said with some concern, "If you go back like this." He's afraid he won't let us go, right? ”

When Dorgon returned from the city of Naturalization, he had already thought of an excuse, so when Dorgon asked, he immediately replied: "There is not enough food and grass, so I will withdraw for the time being." In this way, there should be less punishment. ”

According to Dórd's thinking, it was a retreat from defeat. This one is more serious. But Dolgon's change of excuse can be understood as a stalemate in the war. In the end, it was the lack of food and grass that led to the retreat. It sounds like the severity of the impact is different.

Duoduo thought for a while, and had no choice but to agree: "It's just cheaper for them, so that they can live longer!" ”

After he finished speaking, the tent of the Chinese army fell silent. After a long while, only to hear Dolgon sigh softly, "It's a pity that I don't know what kind of powerful artillery called the Heavenly Army is." Didn't see it clearly. ”

Duoduo also wondered, he hadn't seen the Heavenly Army come out before. In last night's general attack, it was unexpectedly used in the dark night, and it was so powerful, plus the burning thing that was thrown. Simply dismantled the first wave of Daikin's attack. If it weren't for the quick retreat, maybe there would be a few more people in the first batch of elites who would have stayed in the city.

"What the hell is this, if there are herdsmen who can catch it, even if they bring a coat, we can also try to attack the city during the day. Even if you can't attack it, you can find out the details of Naturalization City! Duoduo seemed to feel that he had nowhere to go, and couldn't help but say depressedly.

The original purpose was to exterminate the horse thieves. Therefore, the two brothers brought cavalry, and at worst they were also Mongol cavalry, and did not bring clothing.

I didn't think it would have become a siege war now, if it was at the beginning, it would be nothing to lose a little Mongolian soldiers, and take a look at the hole cards called the Heavenly Army during the day.

But as soon as he came, in order to reduce his losses, he chose to attack at night, and as a result, he lost many of his most elite Bayala soldiers. If you lose any more men, it will hurt your flesh.

Hearing what Dodor said, Dorgon was reminded, and immediately instructed Dodor: "Let the Heavenly Army have another lair, which is a hundred miles away from here, and you send someone to bring the guide of the Chahar Department to see if there is a chance." ”

Duoduo had not sent anyone to such a far place before, and when he heard the exact news, he immediately agreed to come down without prevarication.

Because Dorgon's troops needed to rest, only his men had the energy to go more than a hundred miles to fight. Therefore, his military order was handed down, and soon more than 1,000 horsemen rode out of the camp and headed west.

Different from the atmosphere of the Jianyu camp, the city of naturalization was full of joy. Everyone who sees it, you can see the smile on their face.

The legendary invincible Jianyu Niu is not in Guihua City, and his head is not broken. Look, it's just one night, and the Heavenly Army has only suffered about a dozen casualties, and there are more than 100 heads of Bayala soldiers, which is the head of Baya soldiers!

In a house somewhere in Naturalization City, a few people who had nothing to do sat on the kang and chatted.

"You say the man is not unlucky, why did the arrow hit him in the neck, and it was gone. Otherwise, none of us will die this time! One of them said with emotion.

The other man listened, nodded and said, "That shed is indeed very useful, otherwise we would not be idle." I don't remember last time, but I was shot and injured by Jianyu so many soldiers that we all went to help. ”

Mao Caigui leaned forward, moved closer to them, and interjected: "What is that thing so loud, thunderous, that Jian Yu is so frightened that he hurriedly ran away?" ”

"What else could it be, it must be artillery! This is terrifyingly powerful, stronger than even the Hongyi cannons. The man next to him said as a matter of course.

Those of them who came from Gyeonggi had not yet had a chance to hear about the conscienceless cannon and explosive packs, so they speculated based on their experience.

Mao Caigui didn't know why, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, his face suddenly became serious, he unconsciously lowered his voice, glanced at his companion and said, "You say, if the Heavenly Army is called to attack the imperial court in the future, can this artillery blow up the Jingshi?" ”

Several people in the house looked at each other, but no one spoke.

On the western grassland, there were more than a dozen horsemen galloping towards the eagle's beak ditch, and soon disappeared into the mountains, hurrying towards the Juyi Hall. (To be continued.) )
