Du Du fled back to the main battle formation in embarrassment. His face was originally half a horse, but at this time, it became longer than a donkey's face.

Like a defeated rooster, he feebly came to Daishan and the others, lowered his high head, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said to Daishan: "Second uncle, nephew, nephew is guilty.

"

Daishan stared at Du Du for a while, and his originally complicated expression gradually softened.

Although Du Du is arrogant and ignorant, he is of the blood of his eldest brother Chu Ying after all.

Chu Ying's matter has always been a worry in the hearts of Daishan, Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji and Amin.

Although Chu Ying was cowardly and was executed by the old slave in the name of neglecting the war, he was their biological brother after all, and he took care of them a lot when they were young.

As the saying goes, death is the most important thing.

No matter how bad Chu Ying is, he is already dead, and Du Du is his direct bloodline.

Don’t look at the monk’s face but look at the Buddha’s face.

What's more, Du Du's job of 'traveling through thunder' has been successfully completed.

At least Daishan and the others have understood that Li Yuanqing's firearms no longer have the power of the past at this time of year.

"Du Du, victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. You should get up first." Daishan's tone was quite gentle.

But Du Du hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth hard, but did not get up, "Second uncle, it's my nephew's fault for being reckless, which caused heavy casualties to the warriors under his command. I'm willing to ask my second uncle to punish me."

Once Du Du lowered his attitude, Mang Gurtai and A Min also softened their hearts.

Mang Gurtai hurriedly said: "Du Du, please get up. This matter is not entirely your fault. It's because you don't understand Li Yuanqing."

Amin also said: "Du Du, if we lose this time, let's fight back! Li Yuanqing is here, can he still put on his wings and fly away? A real man can pick it up and put it down! You get up first and talk!"

"

Although Du Du is their nephew, he is still the banner leader after all, and he also represents the eldest brother Chu Ying. With him kneeling and talking like this, Daishan and others are a little embarrassed.

"Thank you uncles for your tolerance."

Du Du nodded respectfully, saluted several people one by one, then looked at Yue Tuo, and said in a low voice: "Yue Tuo, I'm sorry."

Although Yue Tuo hated Du Du, at this moment, he added insult to injury. He forced himself to calm down and said after a moment: "Du Du, we must not be careless in dealing with Li Yuanqing!"

Du Du nodded quickly and sighed: "Li Yuanqing is really great. We really can't rush this moment."

Mang Gurtai said: "I wish you could understand this! It's just a pity that the bodies of so many warriors were not recovered!"

As he said this, his expression darkened. His Zhenglan Banner, the warriors who died under Li Yuanqing's hands, were no longer alive.

Du Du couldn't help but grit his teeth, "If this revenge is not avenged, I, Du Du, will never be a human being!"

At this time, it was almost evening, Dai Shan said: "It's getting cold, let's go back to the camp first and then discuss the war."

Everyone nodded, turned their horses' heads one after another, and retreated to the camp behind them.

…………

On the top of the city, seeing the flags of various banner kings dispersed, Li Yuanqing also lowered the combat readiness alert by one level. Shu Luohuan and his minions also quickly came to the top of the city and began to clean up and clean up the mess.

It was getting dark now, and the air was getting a lot colder.

Many Tatar corpses were stuck directly to the ice. If they were slightly covered, they would soon be integrated with the city wall.

Li Yuanqing didn't care at all about the heads of the previous Tatars, but the heads of these Tatars under Du Du were all elites with white flags. They were handed over to the court for their real achievements. Naturally, Li Yuanqing would not

Let it go.

Soon, the heads of these Tatar corpses were cut off one after another, and their corpses were thrown directly under the city wall.

At this time of year, the dripping water has turned into ice. As long as the battlefield on the city wall is cleaned and stabilized, and a layer of water is poured on it, there is no need to worry about the occurrence of the plague.

As for the steps Du Du pushed over, they were frozen solid, and it was no longer realistic to clear them away immediately.

Li Yuanqing immediately ordered Xu Heizi to lead people to drill holes on these steps, wait for a while, and then blow up the part connected to the city wall to prevent the Jin army from sneak attack at night.

Today happens to be the New Year's Eve of the third year of Tianqi, so we should set off fireworks for the sons and daughters.

After dealing with all this, the sky had turned dark, the sharp north wind was whistling by, and fine snowflakes began to float in the sky.

However, just under the city head a few dozen steps away, bonfires were burning under dozens of large pots. Pots of thick broth, under the influence of the north wind, exuded an alluring fragrance.

At this time, the food and grass supplies in the city were extremely sufficient, and there was a lot of fodder. He had won the first battle, and today was New Year's Eve. Naturally, Li Yuanqing would not be stingy with his sons. He had enough meat and food.

It's a pity that the city's reserves of spirits are not sufficient.

In this state, strong liquor became the best medicinal refreshment. Even Li Yuanqing did not dare to drink too much and had to use it at critical moments.

After all, under such conditions, no one knows when this battle will end.

Only by being prepared can you be safe.

The weather was so bad and it was in the wilderness. Li Yuanqing was not worried that the main force of Houjin would steal camp at this time. In the deep winter of the North, this was almost impossible to do.

But Li Yuanqing did not dare to neglect the night guard duty of the city. He simply went directly to the top of the city to accompany his sons and daughters to spend the New Year's Eve of the third year of the Apocalypse together.

The battle was won today, there was so much food, and there was enough firewood. The men gathered in small groups around the bonfire, all of them smiling happily.

From the time of the expedition to now, all the way through, the number of brothers who died in Changsheng Camp is less than fifty. Although seven or eight brothers were killed today, the general is here and they will definitely bring their bodies back to Changsheng Island.

, enjoy the most solemn offering of incense.

It's a pity that I can't spend this Chinese New Year with my wife and children.

The night gradually deepened and the noise dissipated. Except for the men on night watch, most people returned to their respective camps to rest. There were only piles of strong bonfires, burning more and more, keeping the entire camp warm from the cold.

Xu Heizi had already thought carefully about it when he first set up the camp.

Under the city wall, the camp is a structure similar to a small nest. It is surrounded by a snow wall. After being poured with water, it is not much tougher than an ordinary stone wall.

It is filled with firewood, so that when the firewood burns, it can provide a lot of heat without being blown away by the wind or even causing a fire.

The tents of the men and women were built on snow wall foundations about half a meter high and one meter high. The temperature of these campfires was just enough to reach the ground of the tents.

The reason for building a foundation was Li Yuanqing's mandatory requirement.

Coming from later generations, he understood deeply that in such extreme weather, heat and cold expand and contract, and the cold air would sink sharply. None of the men had beds. If the tent was set up directly on the ice, it would be easy to

Something is wrong with people from the cold.

As long as the most terrible cold air at the bottom is isolated and the campfire is kept strong enough, most of the cold problem will be solved.

In later generations, Li Yuanqing could barely be regarded as half a travel companion. In this regard, he knew much more than ordinary people. This was also a key reason why he dared to go to the Northland.

It was dark at night, and the camp suddenly became extremely quiet. Except for the crackling sound of the strong campfire, the occasional roar of wild wolves came from the dense forest to the north.

Li Yuanqing also finished inspecting the camp at this time and returned to his big tent in the middle.

Waving to Niu Gensheng and the others to rest in the tent next to them, Li Yuanqing climbed the steps tiredly and walked into his tent.

If you want to live a better life, you are destined to pay more than others.

This has always been Li Yuanqing's creed.

At this time, although the conditions on our side are harsh, the Hou Jin army has just arrived, and I am afraid they are not as good as here.

Thinking from his perspective, this made Li Yuanqing feel a lot better. With the company of more than 10,000 people behind the money, he and his sons were not alone.

As soon as I walked into the tent, a warm breeze hit me.

Several braziers were burning and crackling, but at the entrance of the tent, that is, in the south direction, there was an artificial gap of neither long nor short.

This is also a mandatory requirement of Li Yuanqing.

Even in later generations, cases of carbon monoxide poisoning are not uncommon.

Especially in such extremely cold conditions right here and now.

Fortunately, after fighting all the way from Kemer River Guard, Li Yuanqing captured many camps, and there was no shortage in this aspect.

Moreover, although it is extremely cold here, due to the topography and weather, the wind blows from Siberia in the north. The wind path is very positive. You only need to defend the north side, and the other three sides are much softer.

This also saved Li Yuanqing a lot of effort.

But under such conditions, it would be inappropriate to use a large tent.

Firstly, the space in the city is too small, so the big tent will inevitably occupy too much space. Secondly, the big tent is not a velvet and thickened one, so it is not suitable here.

Li Yuanqing's tent at this time was only about seven or eight square meters, and the brazier occupied some positions. The area used for sleeping was only five or six square meters.

But these five or six square meters are enough for Li Yuanqing, Liu Qiao and Shu Murong.

In the tent, Shu Murong was at the back, having fallen asleep and making lovely and melodic breathing sounds.

Liu Qiao also lay down. When he saw Li Yuanqing coming, he struggled to get up and said, "Master, my servant is here to serve you."

It was so cold that even in the tent, I could only sleep with my clothes on.

Even if Li Yuanqing was interested, the cold weather dampened his interest.

Li Yuanqing reached out and touched Liu Qiao's black hair, and said with a smile: "Stop working. It's been a tiring day. Go to sleep."
