According to the regulations of the Xia Army's military system, the White Corps was not assigned to the artillery team, so except for the regimental headquarters and the baggage team, the remaining six teams were all hand-to-hand soldiers in armor. According to Tao Yue and Gu Jie's prior plan, if the Mongol army besieged Xiaoqi on all sides, then each city wall would be equipped with a team of white soldiers, and the remaining two teams would be used as reserves. However, now that the Mongolian army is only attacking from three sides, then the Xia army does not need to think about it, and on average, each city wall can get two teams of white soldiers to fight alternately.

The Xia army was only a hundred people, but although there were few soldiers, the white soldiers of the Xia army, who were like Tiefutu, were defeated and retreated as soon as they entered the battle. This is actually not surprising, in terms of the Xia army's white soldiers' commonly equipped with the Qizi armor, the Mongols' scimitar can only appear a white line when it is chopped, and the bow and arrow shot at close range, although one shot is accurate, but it is nothing more than adding some decoration to the armor, and sometimes even hanging on it seems reluctant, not to mention that the silk that breaks through the inner layer hurts the Xia army's body. On the other hand, the Xia army's side slashed down with a heavy sword, and the weapons in the hands of the Mongols could not be stopped at all, and they often cut off the men and horses, including the weapons.

To be honest, the Xia army's iron cans are certainly not invincible, although the bow and arrow can't break the defense, but it certainly can't stop the fire gun shooting at close range, but the Qing court pulled and defended the Mongolian tribes, and the Mongols were not allowed to be equipped with firearms at all, so the Xia army's "shield" was stronger than the Mongolian army's "spear". Of course, if the Mongols used heavy weapons such as maces instead of scimitars, they could also inflict severe damage on the white soldiers of the Xia army. It is a pity that the Mongols played heavy cavalry in the time of Genghis Khan, and now they believe in the Yellow Sect, and their physique has greatly declined, and they have made it impossible to move the mace that requires strong elbow strength, that is, the Dzungar people have maintained a small number of heavy cavalry because of daily battles. Therefore, now, even with the help of the sprinting power of horses, it is difficult for these Monan and Khalkha Mongol soldiers to shake the blocking line formed by the white soldiers of the Xia army.

Speaking of which, the small space on the top of the wall is also a reason for limiting the Mongol army's combat power. Although the infantry of the Xia army could form a spear formation behind the white soldiers to curb the sprint of the Mongol soldiers' horses, the Mongol riders did not dare to whip their horses quickly, lest they overcharge and rushed out directly from the wall.

Seeing that the white soldiers of the Xia army who looked like monsters beat the Mongolian soldiers who rushed up to the wall upside down, the faces of the Mongolian nobles who watched the battle from a distance were all blue, but the battle had already been fought like this, and the Mongols could only increase their investment again and again.

It's just that there is always a limit to human strength, and after several rounds of fighting, the physical strength of the white soldiers of the Xia Army was finally exhausted, and they had to retreat to the bottom of the wall to breathe. Seeing the killing god retreating, the Mongolian people were greatly boosted, but at this time, the corpses of the Mongolian army were already piled up on the wall of the earth mountain, so that it affected the Mongolian army to drive the horse to rush. The Mongol army, which did not want to give up the opportunity, had to step off their horses and continue to attack the three walls on foot. However, the Mongols on the horse are good men, and the Mongols under the horse are scum. When these Mongolian soldiers with their legs in circles finally crossed the artificial obstacle and rushed to the top of the wall again, the Xia army infantry used a simple spur to drive them back again.

After several unsuccessful attempts, the morale of the Mongol soldiers melted like an iceberg in the sun. As a last resort, the Manchu and Mongolian princes had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops. Taking advantage of the retreat of the Mongol army, the Xia army ate lunch and lunch, and replenished ammunition, only the vigilant soldiers worked the hardest, not only to keep an eye on the movements of the Mongols, but also to throw the corpses on the wall under the city, and then disinfect and sterilize them with lime. Fortunately, the horse carcasses left by the Mongols can still be eaten, but whether they can eat it depends on whether their nerves are tenacious.

Ordinary Mongol soldiers did not have the habit of eating lunch, so they just took their horses to the river in batches to drink, but while they were drinking, some people said strange things, nothing more than that they would not be able to return to their hometowns and not see their wives and children.

If there are real statistics, the total number of casualties of the Mongolian army is less than 3,000 and 4,000, which is almost 56 percent of the whole army, which is not much of a heavy accident at all. However, after losing the first battle, the morale of the army was shaken very much, not only the lower-class herdsmen were talking dejectedly, but even the upper-class princes of the alliance flags also appeared war-weary. Some people put forward the idea of simply not beating and going home as soon as possible.

In the face of the discordant voices among the top echelons of the Mongol army, Yarjana and Marhun naturally could not let it become a reality.

For this reason, Yarjianga, the prince of Heshuo Jian, promised: "Capturing Gu'an can let the Mongolian army plunder freely." ”

As a result, some people immediately said that they couldn't even capture Xiaoqi, and they said that they could capture Gu'an, and Yarjiang's promise was completely empty words, obviously deceiving the Mongolian princes present.

Seeing that the situation might get out of control, Marhun had no choice but to pat his chest and assure that Manchu and Mongolia were a family, how could the Qing court deceive the Mongolian brothers. It's just that no matter how beautiful the words are, it's useless without benefits. Malhun had to personally summon the royal family and take care of him, and immediately returned to Beijing to ask Kangxi for 500,000 taels of silver to appease the Mongolian army.

500,000 taels, in the hands of 60,000 Mongolian troops, per capita is only ten taels, but the account is definitely not calculated like this, ordinary Mongolian herdsmen can get a tael of silver even if the master is generous, and the big head must fall into the hands of a group of princes Taiji.

The temptation of 500,000 taels of silver is naturally not small, and no one has brought it back to the grassland for a while. It's just that the 500,000 silver is still in Beijing now, and it is worth saying when it will arrive, so some Mongolian princes said that they would fight when the money arrived, and the Xia army might not have prepared much grain along the way, so it was better to change the attack to a siege.

A few high-level Manchurian and Mongolian leaders such as Yarjianga and Marhun knew that the situation was unfavorable to their side, and only by quickly eating the Xia army in front of them could they have a little chance of turning around, so they naturally did not agree to delay, but the following situation also had to be appeased, what should I do? Mar Hun rolled his eyes, since it is impossible to loot Gu'an for the time being, it is better to change places, as long as the ** of the Mongols is satisfied, they can continue to work hard, as for Kangxi, as long as they keep the Qing Dynasty, what is it to kill a few Han people to slaughter the city.

So the Mongol army split up and headed for Zhuozhou, which was not far away. Zhuozhou is only seventy or eighty miles away from Gu'an, and the Mongolian army is there in a blink of an eye. However, due to the Xia army going north to Gu'an, the state official who was looking at feng shui had ordered the four gates to be closed. But the sad thing is that seeing tens of thousands of Mongolian troops outside the city, and the genuine Manchurian Beizi calling the door outside, the state officials of the five grades naturally did not dare to slack off, so the city gate opened, and the hungry wolf entered the sheepfold.

When the stunned Zhizhou who greeted the noble man raised the butcher's knife, he didn't know why. Why did the Qing court attack its own people? Why do you sacrifice your own life after offering gold and silver respectfully? With all kinds of confusion, Zhizhou died, died under the impulse to stop the violence of the Mongolian army, and only those "loyal" ministers of the Qing Dynasty who watched Zhuozhou City turn into a sea of blood with an iron heart and a smile on their wives and children were able to get away with it.

In order to cover up the scandal, the two iron hat kings of Yaerjianga and Marhun also sent people to inform the counties, saying that the Xia army broke through and captured Zhuozhou, and then under the siege of the army, they knew that they could not escape, so they slaughtered the city.

Although they don't expect to be able to hide from the surrounding areas for long, the Manchurian nobles know very well that history is written by the victors, and as long as they win this battle, the Han people will still ignore the atrocities of their masters and continue to bow their heads and be obedient citizens under the "prosperous era".

The fire in Zhuozhou could not escape the attention of the Xia army's observation post, but the Xia army didn't know what happened at first, after all, the direction of Zhuozhou was not the direction where the Xia army was scheduled to ambush. However, the answer was soon revealed, and how could Xia Jun not understand what had happened to the Mongol horse team who had thrown the crying Han women out of the shelling radius and tortured them.

"Brothers, you already know what is going on outside the house." Looking at the officers and soldiers who were in a little commotion, Gu Jie, the division officer who presided over the attack and defense of Xiaoqi, stood up indignantly. "In the eyes of these Hu dogs, we Han people are the pigs and sheep they raise, and they can kill them if they want to, and they don't have to worry about anything at all." Gu Jie suddenly raised his voice. "Do you want your children and grandchildren to live in such darkness in the future? Do you want to avenge the innocent Han people who died at the hands of Jianlu? ”

"Kill all the Tartars!" At first, there was a chaotic response from countless people, and then it quickly became a uniform slogan for the whole army. "Wash blood in blood! Kill all the Tartars! Completely restore the world??????"

Gu Jie stretched out his hand to signal everyone to silence, and when the sound subsided slightly, Gu Jie said again: "Kill all the Tartars and wash the blood with blood, okay, but during this period, you will also die, maybe at the last moment of victory, then are you still willing?" ”

In response to Gu Jie, it was a higher emotion: "Willing!" It is better to die standing than to live ??????"

"So what are you waiting for!" Gu Jie pointed outside the city. "The Tartars will soon be attacking again, so let's fulfill our promise now, even if we die in battle, we will take a few Tartars with us??????"

The Mongol soldiers rushed up again, and the same excitement kept venting their firepower with a faster degree.

Countless Mongolian troops were knocked to the ground, and countless more Mongolian troops rushed up, straight to the defensive line on the wall of the Xia army.

At this time, no one will retreat, and the white soldiers of the Xia army are even more crazy to stop the footsteps of the Mongolian army, but the casualties are inadvertently and slowly increasing, and many of the white soldiers of the Xia army are even uninjured on the outside but die because of their lack of strength.

Just as the Mongol army slowly gained the upper hand, the only north gate of Xiaoqi was opened, and at the same time, the south gate of Gu'an City was also opened, and the Xia army of two regiments walked out one after another, one to the east of Xiaoqi and the other to the west of Xiaoqi.

Remembering that the Mongol army, which had sharp pincer fire from the Xia army, was still hesitating to attack, the Xia army had already pulled the trigger, and the rows of bullets almost swept the flank of the Mongol army, suddenly forcing the Mongol army's offensive to slow down.

The Mongol army immediately shifted its target to the attacking Xia army, but the Xia army had almost formed a hollow phalanx, and used this to drag the Mongolian army into the Xia army's artillery fire range. When the rumbling artillery fire rang out again, the Mongol army, which was now trapped in the fire net, could only flee in wolves. The Xia army, which had given the opponent a certain amount of damage, did not retreat into the city, but re-lined the horizontal formation, and continued to fire on the flank of the attacking Mongol soldiers despite the accidental damage of their own artillery fire??????

After repeating this, he finally assisted the defenders on the two walls to repel the Mongol attack.

After the retreat of the Mongol army on the east and west, the Xia army was able to free up their hands to quickly reinforce the south.

When the Xia army's garrison in southern Qinan was rapidly strengthened, the Mongol army had to accept the fate of total defeat??????
