Although Yue Tuo's heart is full of anger, but after a long battle, although this rainstorm has made the Ming army's musket grenades ineffective, but the steep slopes on both sides are too high, and the troops can not be deployed, not so much a strong attack, but rather a death, the warriors under his command have accumulated more than a thousand casualties, and then fight, in addition to giving people the head of the battle, Mao has not been caught, it is better to withdraw the army more practically.

As soon as the golden sound of the troops was heard, the attacking golden soldiers retreated like a tide, and the wolf soldiers guarding the steep slope let out an earth-shattering cheer.

The pouring rain was still pouring down, and the wolf soldiers braved the rain to hold their positions, waiting for the second wave of attack by the golden soldiers. However, after waiting for N for a long time, I didn't wait for the next wave of attack of the Jin army, it was quiet below, only the sound of the torrential rain was falling, and nothing could be heard.

What the hell is going on?

Battalion officer Huang Xiaohu was also stunned, holding a monocular and desperately inspecting it, but all he saw was a white rain line.

After waiting patiently for nearly an hour, Huang Xiaohu finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned to look at the wolf soldiers behind him, and entangled for a long time before asking, "Who wants to go down to investigate?" ”

If the Jin army is still below, the people who go down are dead or alive, they are all old cousins of the Zhuangmiao brothers from Guangxi, and he can't bother to name them, so he can only ask for volunteers.

"The old rule, punching, come on, I'll come first."

Someone proposed, all the wolf soldiers nodded in agreement, the boxing guess code and so on is a lot, very fair, the winner has nothing to say, a punch sound soon sounded, and then, a thin and slender young man named Huang Wu stepped forward.

"Be careful." Huang Xiaohu could only pat him on the shoulder.

"Brother Huzi, in case I can't come back, my parents will ask you." Huang Wu gave Huang Xiaohu a dignified military salute, then grabbed the long rope and climbed down, and soon disappeared into the white rain.

Huang Xiaohu and the others could only stand quietly in the rainstorm, patiently waiting for the news, everyone's mood was a little heavy, after all, they were brothers and cousins who came out together, and it was uncomfortable to see him perform a mortal mission.

For nearly half an hour, for Huang Xiaohu and the others, it was simply a long century, and it was not until the rhythmic shaking of the long rope that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The people on the steep slope pulled the long rope and pulled Huang Wu up, after Huang Wu went downhill, he carefully searched forward, and searched for more than two miles without finding any trace of the Jin army.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the Jin army had retreated, and they would be considered victorious if they held the Eagle's Beak Gorge.

Huang Xiaohu didn't dare to take it lightly, and sent four groups of people to search back and forth for ten miles, and after confirming that the Jin army was not found, he confirmed that the Jin army had really retreated, at this time, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still a little gray.

Everyone abeiled down the steep slope, got all the guns and ammunition, and brought them back to the camp to be replaced, whether they were damp or not, so as not to interfere with future battles.

The sixth battalion of the wolf battalion encountered the reinforcements of the fifth battalion brought by Yuan Chonghu on the way to retreat, and it did not rain outside the canyon, but the temperature dropped a lot and became much cooler.

The reinforced 5th Battalion stayed behind to guard the trail, and Huang Xiaohu's 6th Battalion rushed back to the camp to rest, and everyone had to go back to drink hot ginger soup to ward off the cold and change dry clothes to avoid the onset of cold.

The defensive battle of the battalion had long been over, and Huang Taiji saw that the fire of the wolf soldiers was too fierce, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, so he collected his troops and retreated to Hongshankou after a few rounds of feints, waiting for Yue Tuo to bring him a good dissipation.

The good news didn't come, but he waited for Du Du's cold corpse, and Yue Tuo, who played with Jing and pleaded guilty, and tied himself up strongly.

As soon as Yue Tuo came in, he didn't say a word, and knelt down.

Huang Taiji personally stepped forward to help him up, cut the rope with a dagger, and said with a wry smile: "It's not your fault, but the Ming army has been prepared." ”

Before Yue Tuo's remnants withdrew, the scout rushed back to report, he already knew the reason, this matter really can't blame Yue Tuo for being incompetent, on the contrary, his decisive withdrawal also reduced unnecessary casualties, however, Du Du's death made him feel a little uncomfortable, this is the first highest-level general of Dajin to die since the start of the war, someone must be the back of the pot, carry the pot, anyway, Zhang Wanchun has already hung up, when it is waste utilization, this pot will be carried by him.

Huang Taiji had a black belly, and put a fake surrender on the back of Zhang Wanchun, who hung up, and was charged with being a spy in the Ming army, but he did not embarrass Zhang Wanchun's subordinates, on the contrary, he also promoted some people, so that those trembling soldiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they were also willing to be fake gold and scourge the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In the wolf battalion, Cao Bianjiao was commanding his soldiers to clean up the burned camp, clean up the battlefield, pick up the spoils, and bury the corpses.

After Li Xin and Lu Hongniang learned that the Jin army had retreated, and Huang Taiji personally led the main force to storm Cao Bianjiao's headquarters outside the Hongshankou city, the two of them each left a battalion of 500 people to assist Zhou Zhen and Zhou Yuji to defend the Da'ankou and Longjingguan fortresses, and then led the main force to come, and the three of them joined forces, with a total strength of 8,000 men and horses, and 60 Fran machine guns, which was enough to flatten the Hongshankou fortress.

Among the three, Lu Hongniang is the positive, Cao Bianjiao and Li Xin are the deputies, which was already determined by the Son of Heaven before the expedition, and Cao Bianjiao and Li Xin have no objection to this.

Early the next morning, the whole army advanced to the Hongshankou city, and set up camp under the Hongshankou fortress, posing for the siege of the Hongshankou fortress.

During this period, Cao Wenzhao, the chief officer of Guangping, led 5,000 Guangping troops to hurry over, and the available troops in Lu Hongniang's hands reached 13,000 people, and the number of Franc machine guns increased by 70.

Cao Wenzhao had no objection to Lu Hongniang's army, his Guangping army was in a hurry day and night, and the soldiers were tired, so he accepted Lu Hongniang's proposal and led the whole army to rest and watch the battle in the rear camp.

Hongshankou fortress terrain is precipitous, east and west are surrounded by mountains, only two city gates in the north and south can be passed, Lu Hongniang led 6,000 soldiers to set up more than a dozen dense defensive phalanxes outside the south city gate, and challenged the Jin army in the city.

The Jin generals in the city were so angry that they screamed, shouting that they wanted to lead the army out of the city to smash the Ming army, the field battle has always been the world of the Jin army's iron cavalry, the Ming army, the most elite border troops were beaten to the point of urine, and they did not dare to go out of the city to fight in the field.

Huang Taiji pondered for a while before agreeing to send a cavalry army of 3,000 people to the battle, he just wanted to see if the Phoenix Legion under the command of Lu Hongniang and Li Xin's Shenji Battalion were as difficult to gnaw as Cao Bianjiao's wolf soldiers, and then make another plan.

Three thousand iron cavalry like a lack of embankment flood, roaring towards the Ming army to crush the Ming army, although the coalition army led by Lu Hongniang set up more than a dozen dense defensive phalanxes, the actual path is clear, directly in front of Li Xin's Shenji battalion, on the left and right sides are her Phoenix Legion and Cao Bianjiao's wolf battalion, forming a huge character formation, the Shenji battalion in front of it is the first to bear it, suffering from the crazy attack of the Jin army's iron cavalry.
