The Qing army was defeated in Lengkou, and the fleeing Qing army soon caught up with Yue Tuo's army.

Yuetuo's army had not gone far, only a few dozen miles away from Lengkou. When he suddenly saw the fleeing Qing army, Yuetuo was also surprised. Durumu didn't even hold on for a day?

Without having time to think about it, Yue Tuo quickly gathered and rectified the defeated soldiers to understand the specific situation.

Originally, Yue Tuo was so angry that he wanted to vent, but when he saw Dulumu's body, Yue Tuo was silent helplessly.

Trumu was seriously injured and bumped all the way on the horse's back. He had long been unable to hold on and died halfway.

The main responsible person died, and several other important surviving generals were called to the central army tent by Yue Tuo.

These generals knelt in a row in the tent, their armor was dirty and covered in dust, and they looked embarrassed. At this time, they did not dare to speak much, for fear that Yue Tuo would vent his anger on his head.

"Tell me, what's going on? He didn't even defend it for a day, and even Dulumu died in battle. Could it be that the Ming army had three heads and six arms? Or are you afraid of death and afraid of the enemy to avoid war?" The more peaceful Yue Tuo's tone was, the more afraid the people below were, which meant that Yue Tuo's anger was still brewing.

These generals did not dare to hesitate and quickly followed today's battle one by one. Among them, the generals saw the explosion with their own eyes and the entire process of Dulumu's death due to the explosion, which made Yuetuo gradually outline the situation at that time in his mind.

"Ha Cimi, you are Dulumu's deputy general. What did you do after the Ming army broke the city?" Yue Tuo asked calmly at a general.

"Slave, slave, slave, slave saw that it was impossible to defend the city, and the army was frightened and confused, so they had to order to retreat." Ha Chimi knelt on the ground and trembled all over, and he stuttered a little.

"Since you have ordered a retreat, do you have any arrangements to cut off the rear?" Yue Tuo's eyes were filled with cold light, which was very dangerous.

"The slave arranged for the troops to be cut off, but he was soon defeated by the Ming army." Ha Cimi was already sweating profusely at this time, and she felt that his fate might not be very good.

"Breaked? Wouldn't you arrange any more people?" Yue Tuo's voice suddenly increased. Except for his voice in the tent, he could even hear Luogenic needle.

"The army was out of control at that time, and the servants could not suppress it." Ha Chimi felt very wronged. At that time, the Qing army in the city rushed into the Qing army camp in horror, and took the lead in robbing war horses, causing riots. Everyone was just thinking about escaping their lives and could not organize effective resistance at all.

"Out of control? Can't suppress it? You are incompetent! You are afraid of death! If you can lead people to stop the Ming army's attack and arrange people to recover the lost horses, retreat will not become a defeat! You are stupid, coward, and have the face to run back? Come on, pull Ha Chimi out and chop it, and pass it on to the entire army!" Yue Tuo completely broke out at this time, and was furious for Ha Chimi's incompetence. If Ha Chimi had more responsibility and courage, the Qing army would not have suffered such heavy losses.

"God General! God General!" Ha Chimi was so scared that she was scattered and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy, but Yue Tuo was unmoved, and no one in the tent pleaded for him.

For such a big defeat, someone will always take responsibility, but Dulumu has already died in battle. Who will take the blame if Hacimi doesn't take the blame? Moreover, he did make a major mistake in command before the battle, so it is not unfair to him.

The personal soldiers quickly dragged Ha Chimi out, blocked his mouth, and the begging for mercy finally disappeared.

After dealing with Ha Chimi, Yue Tuo's eyes kept sweeping around the other kneeling Qing generals, making them feel as if they were facing a great enemy and sweated constantly.

Fortunately, Yue Tuo held back his anger and did not kill them all. Although he was angry about their incompetence, the punishment could not be infinitely expanded. After all, the evil one has been killed.

"Pull them out, each of them is responsible for eighty whips, and they are sent to the vanguard battalion to make meritorious contributions!" Yue Tuo looked at these defeated generals in disgust, waved his hand, and drove them out like a fly.

"I thank my master for not killing me!" These generals escaped and kowtowed to Yue Tuo in ecstasy.

After dealing with these people, Yue Tuo thought about the aftermath and the subsequent wars, and couldn't help but have a headache.

"Bahana, do you tell me that the army will chase after me?" Yuetou asked Bahana.

"When the general, the Ming army will not give up easily. We have to make plans early." Bahana looked serious and was not as optimistic as he imagined about the war.

"Yes, after chasing for so long, I'm just about to kick it. How could I give up?" Yue Tuo also had a bitter face. "I thought Dulumu could stay for a few days and buy enough time for us. Now it seems that I'm underestimating these Ming troops."

"We didn't expect that the Ming army could actually blow up the city wall, but we were not experienced enough." Bahana was very surprised to hear that the Ming army actually used gunpowder to blow up the city wall. This was a method of siege that had never happened before, and would have a huge impact on the Qing army.

"But since we know that gunpowder can be used to blow up the city walls, it will be much easier to attack the city from now on." Bahana's thinking was still very sharp and was not blinded by the failure in front of him. He soon discovered the importance of gunpowder explosion.

In the past, the Qing army suffered heavy losses whenever they attacked the cities defended by the Ming army, especially those strong cities. Now that there are new ways to break the city, the Qing army will definitely not turn a blind eye. It is inevitable to learn from the past and apply it to the Ming army.

"It should not be that simple, there must be some tricks. Moreover, there are dangers on the battlefield, and gunpowder is in a hurry. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself. It is not that easy to use." Yue Tuo was much more cautious. He was really not good at playing gunpowder and did not understand much.

This situation was very common in the Qing army. They were skilled in self-righteous bows and horses, and were full of awe of artillery and muskets, and were constantly belittled, and they were disdainful to learn and use firearms.

The reason for this situation was that the Ming army's firearms were not of uniform quality, and they could not keep up in tactical and training. They often lost their bows and horses when fighting against the Qing army, causing the Qing army to despise firearms.

However, the power of the firearm is there, and those who are in the middle are either dead or injured, which makes people very scared, which is why the Qing army's contradictory psychology was caused.

The level of firearms in the Qing Dynasty was very backward, but after Huang Taiji surrendered Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, the level of firearms in the Qing Dynasty made great progress, and firearms began to emerge in the Qing army, and were not at all inferior to the Ming army. However, compared with the Jinzhou army, it was far inferior.

"Since you know the method of using it, there is always a way to find out, and it shouldn't be difficult." Bahana felt that it was not that difficult to learn to blast, but it was just a matter of thinking.

"Well. Let's talk about this matter when I return to Shengjing. The main problem now is how to deal with the pursuit of the Ming army." Yue Tou did not agree with Bahana's idea, it was more important to solve the threat in front of him first.

"If the Ming army chased us with all our might, we couldn't escape. With these Han slaves here, we wouldn't be able to get up. We have to take such a big stake in our troops, and we don't have enough manpower." Yue Tuo was also very upset by Bahana's truth.

"I have already sent a letter to the emperor and asked him to send troops to help him, but the distance cannot quench his near thirst. I am afraid it will be too late to wait for reinforcements to come." Yue Tuo did not respond at all, but just threw his cold mouth too quickly, so that his actions did not keep up with time.

"If it really doesn't work, recruit nearby Mongolian tribes. It should be possible to increase some personnel." Bahana thought about it and suggested.

"Well, this is OK. You can arrange for people to summon all the nearby Mongolians. Don't let anyone go if they can ride horses and shoot arrows." In the eyes of the Qing Dynasty, the Mongolians were slaves and tools, and they would not feel any pity.

"I'll make arrangements right away." Bahana nodded.

"From tomorrow, we must continue to speed up the marching speed, and those who cannot keep up will be abandoned. In addition, you have to work hard to lead troops to block the Ming army and try to prevent them from getting closer." Yue Tou was really worried about handing over the blocking task to others, so Bahana was more reliable.

"I understand." Bahana knew that this time was not the time to complain, and he had to face the difficulties.

There were not many Mongolians near the Lengkou Great Wall, and they had been recruited once. The people sent by Bahana gathered the surroundings and only forced them to recruit more than 3,000 Mongolians, and they were all half-old children and old people.

Faced with the powerful Jurchens, the Mongols had no room for resistance and could only obey orders.

These conscripted Mongolian tribes felt the clouds before the war and were so scared that they hid far away.

How to resettle the three thousand Qing army prisoners is a difficult problem. Lu Ruolin still has to continue pursuing Yue Tuo, so he must not stay in the cold mouth. After repeated consideration, Lu Ruolin discussed with Chen Xinjia and decided to leave the Tianjin army in the cold mouth, take care of the prisoners, and ensure the army's retreat.

Originally, Lu Ruolin suggested that Chen Xinjia stay in the cold mouth, but he did not agree.

"I have already made nine out of nine steps, and this last step is not bad. Even you are not afraid of you, what else can I worry about? It's so magnificent to kill slaves when I go out of seclusion! If I miss this, I may never have a chance again."

Chen Xinjia's words left Lu Ruolin with nothing to say.

The seal of wolf and stone Yanran will always be the highest honor of Han generals, and no one can escape the vulgarity.

Although this time he went out of seclusion to pursue Yue Tuo was not at this level, it was still a rare honor, and Chen Xinjia was willing to take a risk.

Since Chen Xinjia has such ambitions, Lu Ruolin is not easy to persuade him anymore.

Lu Ruolin, who regards the war from the seclusion as a normal person, does not care much about this honor. His goal is even greater. Conquering the grassland is just the starting point of his journey. It is better to give this honor to Chen Xinjia. Now the Jinzhou Army is dazzling enough and there is no need to add this halo.

Moreover, Lu Ruolin is getting along well with Chen Xinjia now and is very satisfied with this ally. It is also beneficial to the Jinzhou Army to support him, and the Jinzhou Army also needs to have its own spokesperson in the court.

The total number of Tianjin Army and Lengkou Ming Army is more than 4,000. If so many people still cannot guard the three thousand unarmed Qing troops, they can jump into the river.

In order to facilitate the guarding and ensure that the Qing army would not escape, Chen Xinjia locked all these Qing army prisoners in Lengkou City. These are all silver and credits, which are more precious than the head level, and it will be distressed if anyone runs away.

As for whether Lengkou City, which was burned into ruins, is suitable for so many Qing troops to be imprisoned, it is not a problem at all. Being a prisoner must also have the awareness of being a prisoner. It is not enough to eat or work. These prisoners are just used to clean up the ruins of Lengkou, which can be said to be a good use.

The Ming army closed the northern city gate to prevent the possibility of the Qing army escaping outside the pass. The cleaned garbage was transported outside the south gate, and there were brigades of Ming troops around the prisoners at any time. At the gate and on the city walls, the Ming army did not dare to be careless even if these Qing troops had no weapons.

Shen Zhixiang and Zhu Huaan stood on the top of the city and looked at the busy figure of the Qing army, with a smug smile on their faces. It was so heartbreaking to see the arrogant Qing army working for them.

Zhu Huaan was holding Chen Xinjia's thigh and had military achievements. He would definitely be promoted after the war, so he was in a good mood at this time.

Shen Zhixiang was also full of enthusiasm and was full of complacent because of the two consecutive victories. The only regret was that he could not go out of seclusion and pursue Yue Tuo. However, if he handed over so many prisoners to Zhu Huaan alone, Chen Xinjia and Lu Ruolin were worried, so he could only let Shen Zhixiang go to the cold mouth to guard these important spoils.

Zhu Huaan already knew about Shen Zhixiang’s bloody battle with the Qing army in Kaiping, and at this time he deliberately made a statement: “Mr. Shen, the news of Kaiping’s victory should have reached the capital, right?”

"Calculate the time, it should be early." Shen Zhixiang was also very much looking forward to the court's reaction after learning about the Kaiping victory and how to reward him. You should know that Chen Xinjia's report on the Kaiping victory was Shen Zhixiang's Tianjin army, and he was recognized by Lu Ruolin. With such a great contribution of beheading 3,000, the court could not handle it stingy, right?

"It's a shocking record to win three thousand. With this cold victory, Lord Shen, you must not be able to escape the title." Zhu Huaan said compliments, full of envy.

Although Zhu Huaan's more than 100 heads are also a rare record, it is far behind Lu Ruolin and Shen Zhixiang, and is even more than 108,000 miles away from his title.

"It depends on the emperor and the court's intentions. How dare you guess as a subordinate." Shen Zhixiang said modestly, but the sage on his face could not be concealed.

If such a record cannot be awarded a title, I am afraid that all the generals will not do it. Everyone is fighting to kill the enemy to the death, not for the sake of glory and wealth. As for the descendants, even if the court has a little rationality, he dare not erase Shen Zhixiang's contribution. Giving a title can be said to be a sure thing.

A few years ago, Shen Shikui was awarded the title of Lu Ruolin by the court, and the Shen family already owed Lu Ruolin a great favor. Later, when the Qing soldiers invaded Dongjiang Island, they repeatedly helped each other, and this favor became even greater. If nothing unexpected happened this time, Shen Zhixiang would win the second title of Shen family. Although Shen Zhixiang himself also made a lot of efforts this time, without Lu Ruolin's help, Shen Zhixiang would definitely not have achieved such a record.
