The sound of drums was as loud as a war song, and like torches in the night, guiding the Jin army, who had crossed the river but fled north in a hurry, and did not know what to do, towards the great tent of the Khan and towards the place where the Khan was.

At the call of the drums, one, two, three... More and more Jin armies converged into the sea like countless rivers, gathering under the banner of the golden dragon of Tiancong Khan.

The panic of the hearts of the people was shaken by the impassioned drums.

King Khan, invincible King Khan!

Huang Taiji's golden dragon banner has become the reassurance of all the Eight Banners warriors in this chaos, with the Khan King here, this day will not collapse!

Basically, all the Jin troops thought so, and slowly, the fear gradually receded, and as the soldiers and horses who came to listen to the order gathered more and more, the Jin army's position began to stabilize.

………

The first to meet with Huang Taiji was the Yue Tuo Department, when the Ming army was in flames, he ran the fastest, after crossing the river, because the smoke was too big, he didn't know where the King of Lu Dao Khan was for a while, thinking that Huang Taiji had withdrawn to the Daling River, so he didn't think much about it, and led more than a thousand swinging teeth with him across the river to go straight to the Daling River.

When the drum sounded, he had already led the people to run for more than two miles, and when he heard the drum, he immediately realized that the king of Khan was still by the Xiaoling River, and he did not dare to hesitate at all, so he immediately led the remnants to run to the place where the drum sounded.

On the way, some more Red Banner soldiers were gathered, and when they arrived at Huang Taiji's location, nearly 3,000 Red Banner soldiers had gathered behind Yue Tuo.

One after another, Azig, Dolgon, and Duoyi also appeared in the smoke, and the three brothers retreated almost at the same time, which would be in addition to the red armor and tooth swing led by themselves, and most of the Manmeng Niulu was also trapped in the river. However, the strength of the three brothers was already strong, and there were three or four thousand horsemen in these red armor swinging teeth, as well as scattered Niu Lu, and the strength of the successful crossing of the river should be about eight thousand.

Compared with Azig losing his helmet, Dolgon was even more unlucky, his braids were half scorched, and when he appeared in front of Huang Taiji, his face was black and unspeakably embarrassed.

Duoyi was no better, although he did not lose his armor and his hair was burned, but his face was frighteningly white. It's no wonder that he, after all, among the brothers, he is the youngest, only sixteen years old this year, he used to follow his father Khan and his brothers, and he won all battles, never won first and then lost like today, and he lost so badly, he lost almost five or six cattle on the south bank, and he was almost caught up by the Ming army, and he was killed.

This will be full of smoke, a fire on the opposite bank, and a shout of killing in the river, I don't know how the battle will be fought. When he fled for his life, he was afraid that he would not see his brothers, and when he heard the sound of drums, he did not even dare to come back, but he rushed to see the fourth brother of the Khan under the persuasion of the Goshkhas.

Seeing the fourth brother's golden dragon banner from a distance, Duoyi suddenly cried his nose, howled and ran to Huang Taiji, fell to the ground with a plop, hugged the fourth brother's thigh and cried loudly, his body also trembled so much that Huang Taiji frowned. When his crying was a little weaker, he leaned over and helped him up, and comforted him with kind words: "Don't cry fifteen brothers, my brothers are here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid... The Ming army hasn't killed it yet, it's coming, and my brother will protect you."

For this fifteenth brother, Huang Taiji still loves, this younger brother is about the same age as Haoge, it can be said that Huang Taiji treats Duoyi as a son, although he is dissatisfied with his timidity, but he still comforts Duoyi in harmony.

Under the soothing of Huang Taiji, Duoyi gradually stopped crying, Xu felt that the fourth brother's arms were very safe, and he really lay on Huang Taiji's shoulder like a child.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji smiled bitterly, and didn't say anything, let him hold himself like this, and searched the crowd with his eyes. Even when he choked on the smoke, he didn't reach out to push Duoyi away and rub his eyes, but closed his eyes, rolled his eyes a few times, and let the choked tears dry.

Next to him, Darkhan, Ah Shan, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and I saw it, and they were all laughed at like children in Duoyi, and they all said that Fifteen Baylor was also the owner of a banner, how could they really be like a child.

This way, they are not as flustered and scared as before, and Huang Taiji's composure not only affected the Eight Banners of the Route, but also affected them.

…………

When Duoyi was crying loudly, Engdel and other Mongol princes also led people to come one after another, and there were also four or five thousand cavalry who crossed the river from various Mongolian tribes.

In this battle, Huang Taiji mobilized a total of 5,000 soldiers with red flags, 4,000 soldiers with red flags, 6,000 soldiers with white flags, 4,000 soldiers with white flags, 3,500 soldiers with blue flags, 2,000 soldiers with yellow flags, and more than 24,000 cavalry from the six banners to participate in the battle.

Now there are only more than 10,000 people crossing the river, plus the Mongols and those soldiers and horses who have not yet arrived to meet, the Jin army on the north bank is less than 20,000 people. This means that the Jin army has paid nearly 10,000 casualties so far.

Such a large casualty has never been experienced even if it entered the customs two years ago, but it happened today, and it happened under the premise of victory, which cannot but make Huang Taiji feel angry and heartache. You must know that the total number of the Eight Banners is no more than 100,000, and Dajin was able to build the country and defeat Mongolia, Ming, and Korea by relying on these warriors who are good at fighting. It can be said that every casualty will weaken Dajin's strength, so Huang Taiji has warned the generals more than once that they must try their best to preserve their strength when fighting the enemy, and they must not fight the kind of vicious battle that kills 1,000 enemies and loses 800 themselves. It also requires the generals to treat their soldiers well and not abandon any wounded soldiers, all of which is just to preserve the vitality of Dajin to the greatest extent. But he didn't expect that in just a short period of effort, he would lose tens of thousands of soldiers in this Xiaoling River, which couldn't help but make him feel a lot of pain!

However, the specific loss of soldiers and horses, Huang Taiji has no time to count them one by one, the top priority is to quickly rectify the soldiers and horses, respond to the withdrawal of the soldiers and horses in the river, and immediately build a defense line on the north bank, and must not let the Ming army really stage the battle of Weishui!

Under the chubby face, there is a heart that is also uneasy, but on the fat round face, it is extremely calm and confident.

Huang Taiji tried his best to make his actions look as usual, so that the generals could feel their composure, and only by remaining calm would they not feel flustered.

The heart of the army, the most important thing at the moment is the heart of the army, as long as the heart of the army is not chaotic, with the good fighting of the warriors of the Eight Banners, the Ming army has reversed the situation, and he is confident that he will crush them in Xiaolinghe!

Taking a gentle breath, Huang Taiji looked up and looked at them one by one, but found that there was no figure of Mang Gurtai, and couldn't help but ask Dolgon: "Where is Mang Gurtai?" ”

Third brother?

Dolgon hurriedly looked around, and found that there was no figure of Mang Gurtai, no shadow of the Derge class, and he couldn't even see a person with the Blue Flag, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and his face changed: Could it be that the Blue Flag has been wiped out?!

Azig looked at the middle of the river and said hesitantly: "King Khan, when the younger brother Fang Cai crossed the river, he saw that the third brother and the tenth brother were entangled by the Ming army, I am afraid that the Zhenglan Banner will still be trapped over there." ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji's face sank, and after a few seconds, he resolutely ordered: "Azig, Dolgon!" The people who brought you were nailed to the shore for me, and I couldn't let the Ming army cross the river without a single soldier! Even if you have wiped out your minions, you have to resist me, otherwise you will blame Ben Khan for not remembering brotherhood! ”

"Brother of the courtiers!"

Azig and Dorgon looked at each other, turned around, and led their men to quickly march towards the river.

"Yue Tuo, you are responsible for collecting the flags of the red flag, as long as you cross the river, no matter which flag it is, you will temporarily receive it, and you will listen to the orders of Ben Khan at any time."

"Duoyi, you stay by Ben Khan's side, and you will meet Ben Khan for a while."

"Ah Shan, you go to Daling River to transfer troops immediately, and you must arrive in half a pillar of incense."

Several orders were issued in one breath, and Huang Taiji was a little relieved. Over there, Azig and Dolgon led their troops into smoke and drove toward the river. The smoke was not as thick as before, but the fire on the south bank had burned to the river, and the white smoke drifted from the place where the fire had swept before, although it was also choking, but it was obviously much better than the black smoke just now.

The wind also blew stronger and stronger, and soon, the black smoke that was hidden in the middle of the river was blown away, and the vision was clear.
