~~~~~~

The sky gradually darkened, and the faint twilight mist enveloped the earth again.

Although the north wind is not strong, the cold breath in the air is obviously stronger than last night.

In this early spring, there has been such a thick and cold haze for two consecutive nights... This is obviously not a good sign...

However, although God was not good at it, bonfires were rising and people were shouting in the entire Changsheng camp.

The men worked hard all day and night, and finally put the Azig tribe's camp in order. Li Yuanqing was not stingy. Naturally, he had enough meat, food, and some drinks so that the men could enjoy this.

The joy of victory.

Liu Xingzuo also "bleeded". Not only did he have dozens of fat pigs under his name slaughtered and secretly sent to the Changsheng Camp, but he also specially took out several jars of fine wine that he had collected for more than ten years. For this purpose

The second big win added to the excitement.

This also made the atmosphere in the entire Changsheng camp even more lively.

such a pity.

At this time, in a depression more than sixty miles northwest of Yongping City, Azige was far from being so happy...

Fortunately, Azig was lucky and made the right choice. After hurriedly breaking out of the encirclement, he had gathered four to five thousand minions in less than an hour.

But the sad thing is that half of the slaves who broke out did not have war horses.

Azig had no choice but to divide these minions into two groups. Those with horses would go first and evacuate this dangerous area to find the main force of Daishan and Mang Gurtai who were coming over. The remaining minions without horses would

We could only rely on Route '11' and evacuate as quickly as possible to the hilly and mountainous areas in the north.

Otherwise, if Li Yuanqing were to chase him out, the consequences... would be simply unimaginable.

Although Azige hated Li Yuanqing and always wanted to use Li Yuanqing as his 'stepping stone', but now, after he actually fought with Li Yuanqing, he realized... how big the gap between the two was.

ah……

Fortunately, Azig's life should not have been cut off.

At dusk, he finally joined the main force of the Mang Gurtai tribe who had arrived in this depression. After being hungry for a day, he was finally able to have a full meal and a sip of hot water.

However, Hou Jin's entry into the pass this time to plunder was entirely led by Huang Taiji. Although most of the main forces of the Zhenglan Banner under the name of Mang Gurtai entered the pass, they were led by Hauge and Abatai.

Lord, the main bodyguard of Mang Gurtai did not enter the pass.

At this time, Mang Gurtai had less than 5,000 men at his side, and he was almost lightly armed, and various strategic reserves were seriously insufficient.

Mang Gurtai was already a little short of money, but now, with the addition of Azig's defeated troops, both the tent and supplies were immediately running out...

Inside Mang Gurtai's big tent.

Azig no longer had the pride he had in the past. He was as aggrieved as a child and almost shed tears. He hurriedly and cautiously recounted the events of the Yongping battle last night to Mang Gurtai in detail.

"Fifth brother, Li Yuanqing is really, really vicious! I never thought that a bastard like Li Yuanqing could attack at night in such a foggy day! Fifth brother, poor, poor little brother

Those more than 10,000 elites...if, if the Great Khan finds out, I'm afraid..."

The more Azig talked, the sadder he became. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer. He burst into tears and had runny nose, but he still cried.

Mang Gurtai couldn't help but frown tightly.

He has a deep understanding of Azig's temper and strength.

If it were normal, even if Azige faced Li Yuanqing alone, even if he failed, I'm afraid, he would never encounter such a defeat. He would even take off his underwear to Li Yuanqing...

But the facts before him are here, and Mang Gurtai also understands that if Dajin enters the customs this time, I am afraid that Li Yuanqing will not be as peaceful as Lao Ba expected...

"Twelve, a real man, why are you crying? Crying won't solve the problem. Please tell me in detail, how many people does Li Yuanqing have? Also, what is the situation of the battle?"

"Eh? Yes."

Azig also reacted and hurriedly described the situation he knew to Mang Gurtai in detail.

Mang Gurtai frowned even more when he heard this.

Entering the customs this time, Lao Ba, a bitch, made it clear that he wanted to establish his authority for Hao Ge and promote Hao Ge to his position.

He, the majestic leader of the Zhenglan Banner in Gurtai, was only allowed to bring so few troops, and was sent to this inconspicuous and unprofitable Eastern Front.

Especially before, Mang Gurtai heard that Li Yuanqing had sent troops, and he was full of complaints.

Originally~, the situation was bad enough, but Mang Gurtai never expected that Azig would give him such a 'surprise' again.

this……

How can we fight this battle?

Even if Daishan's five or six thousand people were added to the equation, Daikin would have no capital to compete with Li Yuanqing on the Eastern Front.

"Twelve, you don't have to worry too much. Is there anything in this world that can't be overcome? Although you are responsible for this matter, in the end, Li Yuanqing is too powerful. You go to rest first and have a good sleep.

.Tomorrow, everything will be solved."

"Thank you, fifth brother. Thank you, fifth brother..."

Azig repeatedly handed over to Mang Gurtai, and then carefully exited the tent.

Watching Azig leave, Mang Gurtai couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

The sky fell, but there was a tall person holding it up.

The situation has reached this point. The Eastern Front has run out of oil and water, and it is obvious that it cannot continue to fight hard. Let Lao Ba have a headache on this matter.

But just as Mang Gurtai was about to lie down on the soft couch aside to take a good rest and collect his thoughts, at this moment, a muffled sound of "crackling" suddenly came from the big tent above his head.

Azig, who had just gone out, also hurried back, yelling and cursing: "Fifth brother, it's bad! Oh my God! It's hailing!"

"What?"

Mang Gurtai was also shocked when he saw this.

He already knew that half of Azig's minions were staying in the old forest in the north of Yongping City.

It was already difficult for them to endure such a cold night. If it hailed again at this time, wouldn't it be fatal?

Although Mang Gurtai was not interested in Azig. His twelfth brother usually had his eyes raised to the sky and was not very lovable, but at this time, Mang Gurtai did not dare to neglect him anymore.

Hail is no joke!

Let’s not talk about Azig’s minions in the old forest. Their temporary camp will probably be too much to bear.

Mang Gurtai hurriedly put on his fur coat, not caring about anything else, and hurried to the tent door, "Let's go, Twelve, go out and have a look before we talk!"

"Eh? Yes!"

…………

At this time, the fog in the sky had dissipated a lot, but the entire night sky was like a mirror that had suddenly shattered. Countless, endless mirror fragments fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

In the north of Yongping City, at the Changsheng camp, the men who were celebrating their victory were also startled by the sudden hail.

Fortunately, at this time, the Changsheng Camp was surrounded by a military formation. The defense was extremely tight, and the tent was extremely strong. After a short period of confusion, the men entered the tent one after another, taking shelter within the fortifications, and the war horses were also pulled.

When we arrived at the temporary stables, we would not be directly exposed to the biting hail.

Li Yuanqing had been drinking with Liu Xingzuo and dozens of confidant generals from the Changsheng Battalion. As soon as the incident occurred, he immediately ordered the generals to return to their headquarters quickly to control the situation.

After more than ten minutes of busy work, the situation was finally temporarily stabilized.

The curtain at the entrance of the tent had been raised, Li Yuanqing lit a cigar, and together with Liu Xingzuo, carefully observed the scale of the hailstone.

At this time, the hailstones were getting bigger and bigger. They were originally just bean-shaped, but now they have become the size of pigeon eggs, and some may even be as big as chicken eggs.

Liu Xingzuo carefully picked up a hailstone that was slightly smaller than an egg, and couldn't help but spit out, "Oh my God, this bastard thief! Li Shuai, I'm afraid this hailstone will destroy all the crops in the field."

Finished smashing it!"

Li Yuanqing exhaled a long breath of thick fog, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The world is undergoing great changes, and there must be monsters.

At this time, Daming is afraid that he will really enter HRAD hell mode.

This year's weather is already dry, and the crops are not growing well. Coupled with this hailstorm, I'm afraid...

"Liu Shuai, the people are suffering! So, Liu Shuai, I will give you another 50,000 taels of cash. If the people around Yongping can help, you can try your best to help."

"Li Shuai, this..."

Liu Xingzuo didn't expect that as soon as Li Yuanqing opened his mouth, he gave him fifty thousand taels of silver.

But after a moment, Liu Xingzuo immediately understood what Li Yuanqing was thinking when he saw that Li Yuanqing's expression was not fake at all.

Li Yuanqing is definitely not trying to bribe him, but he really wants to help the people around Yongping...

For a moment, Liu Xingzuo nodded hurriedly and said, "Li Shuai is benevolent and righteous. Xingzuo must do his best in this matter!"

Li Yuanqing nodded and sighed slowly: "I hope this hail will pass quickly."

…………

In later generations, in Shanhaiguan and northern Hebei, even if there was severe hail, it would last only half an hour or an hour.

But at this time~, the hail continued for more than an hour and a half, and it didn't stop rustling until it was almost midnight.

Then, another indescribable mist began to fill the air.

Looking at this, it seems like it’s not the end yet…

Liu Xingzuo has returned to Yongping City in a hurry. The civil servant group in Yongping City has been fully controlled by him at this time. Naturally, he cannot be careless at this time.

Li Yuanqing briefly inspected the disaster situation, arranged defenses, and returned to his tent to rest. He needed to sort out his thoughts.

But this big tent is not Li Yuanqing's big tent, but Azige's royal tent that was captured before.

Because the entire strategic focus at this time was already leaning towards the outpost, Li Yuanqing was naturally too lazy to return to the camp to rest.

At this time, Wang Wei also changed his personal soldiers to serve and rushed here.

Seeing Li Yuanqing coming back, Wang Wei, who was dressed in a tight soldier's uniform, hurriedly came up to meet him and carefully supported Li Yuanqing's arm. There were still some unspeakable tears in his big bright eyes that he had not had time to wipe away.

He said aggrievedly: "Master, you are back..."
