Li Dingguo commanded the cavalry and slashed and killed the enemy's team, traversing all directions, killing the Ming army to defeat and become a turmoil.

When Ma Xianglin and others heard the news and rushed to reinforcements, the entire military camp was already full of sorrow and suffered heavy casualties.

The cavalry of Ma Xianglin's army was more than thirty miles away. Although they did not rush to go, they stopped to rest, but were on high alert. When they heard that the Lu Baqun army was attacked, they came to reinforce regardless of the darkness and danger.

As a result, when they came to reinforce, Li Dingguo and others sounded the horn and ordered the soldiers to retreat.

The morning was cold and the Ming cavalry arrived.

The Chinese cavalry retreated roared.

Li Dingguo led his cavalry and retreated, and the other party did not dare to chase and kill them. Whether it was the cavalry of Ma Xianglin's army or the infantry of Lu Baqun's army, they were all afraid of being beaten by them, and they were beaten so hard that the other party would not cause trouble for them. They would already laugh and dare to chase and kill them?

So they could only watch Li Dingguo and others retreat calmly, and Lu Baqun, Ma Xianglin and others dared not chase each other.

At dawn, Ma Xianglin and Lu Baqun gathered the defeated soldiers and found that the entire military camp of tens of thousands of people was only more than 3,000 left. Countless corpses were left on the scene. In other words, their troops were completely defeated and dispersed by the Chinese army.

Although there are more than 3,000 people on the scene here, they are all defeated and in a very embarrassing way. Of course, not all of their people were hacked to death by the other party. Many people escaped in the dark. They were attacked by Liu's army and fled for the first time, scattered dozens of miles away. To put it bluntly, even if they are defeated, they are equivalent to losing their combat capabilities.

Lu Baqun's face was pale. He was still full of energy last night, but now he couldn't laugh. Seeing such a tragic situation, he was frightened.

Ma Xianglin pointed at Lu Baqun and said, "General Lu, you are so careless."

It was Lu Baqun who underestimated the enemy's carelessness that he was attacked by the enemy and lost so many brothers that he could not refuse to blame.

Lu Baqun's face changed, and he said angrily: "As a vanguard army, how can the enemy pass through your defense zone and come here silently? General Ma, you must explain, you must explain to so many brothers who died unjustly."

This responsibility is really too serious. No one can recite it, and no one wants to recite it.

Ma Xianglin said angrily: "You still have the face to push the blame to me. The camp of tens of thousands of people actually made the opponent's troops with less than a thousand people beat him to the point of falling...."

Lu Baqun is not very good at fighting, but his ability to quarrel with others is very good. He said: "As a pioneer general, shouldn't you appear in front and block the enemy's attack? Why did the enemy appear here without anyone knowing it? What's the trick?"

Ma Xianglin was so angry by this man's despicable behavior that he said loudly: "What's wrong with this? This is because you are incompetent."

Lu Baqun was also frightened by the situation in front of him. When they marched during the day, they were majestic and arrogant, but in a blink of an eye, they ended up like this. The soldiers and horses under them died and fled, as if they were blown by the wind, falling in the woods, and mourning everywhere.

Lu Baqun made up his mind that he would have to blame Ma Xianglin.

Just then, the soldiers of Lu Baqun said happily: "Report to General, we have captured a living person."

When Lu Baqun heard that he had caught the survivor, he was very happy. He said loudly: "Come here immediately and let me question it."

They captured a soldier from the Chinese army.

The soldier was seriously injured and had been stabbed several times on his leg and could no longer walk. The Ming soldiers were holding him over, and he looked pale and kept vomiting blood from his mouth.

Lu Baqun said that he would torture the other party, but he knew that once he took action, he would be afraid that he would die immediately.

Lu Baqun said loudly: "If you tell me what happened, I will agree and give you a happy ending."

This man was so seriously injured, he must have died, so he was determined to die or die tragically.

The man vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and he said loudly: "If you have anything, say it."

Lu Baqun asked first: "How did you do it? God didn't know, and ghosts came outside our army's camp without realizing it."

This Mongolian soldier spat out blood and said, "Because you are useless."

Lu Baqun was furious and wanted to take a knife and kill the other person with one knife, but he knew that it would be cheaper. Then he put the knife on the other person's neck and said, "I'll pull it gently here. You won't die, the blood will slowly flow dry. You will slowly watch yourself die. It's so tragic. Do you want to try it?"

The Mongolian soldier realized that he was afraid. He said, "This is our battle with the cavalrymen and they appreciate each other. The two sides have agreed that this is not interfering with each other and free exchanges."

This is what Lu Baqun wanted. He was very happy and shouted, "It's true."

Lu Banqun could not admit that it was because he was careless and unprepared, so that the enemy could easily defeat him. He could only say that it was someone framed or other reasons, not his own reasons. If it was his reason, he would be afraid that the general would be chopped off his head when he went back. If the responsibility could be pushed to others, this would be different.

Ma Xianglin was anxious and angry, and he said, "You are tempting sacrifice."

He gave the answer first and then asked the question, and the other party just answered according to his wishes.

When Lu Baqun had his own answer, he was very confident. He said sinisterly: "Even if I go to the Ministry of War, I am not afraid of this lawsuit."

Ma Xianglin saw that the other party was placing the blame on him. This was a very fatal matter. He had already lost the battle, but it was already very fatal. If he had taken such responsibility, he would be a dead end.

Ma Xianglin cursed loudly: "You spy, you are sow discord and ruined my reputation." Suddenly, he took action and killed the Mongolian soldier with one knife.

When Lu Baqun saw that the other party actually killed his witness in public in his camp, he was shocked and said, "You are killing someone to silence you."

Ma Xianglin said: "This man is nonsense and is not trustworthy at all."

Lu Banqun said: "So many people have heard of it. Do you think that by killing the hostages, you can push them completely and you can leave yourself out?"

Ma Xianglin shouted: "I have a clear conscience and there is nothing to be clear about."

When the two of them were arguing, their subordinates were also helping each other.

Lu Baqun's subordinates, just like him, made such a big mistake. If they fell into the hands of the coach, they would probably be chopped up and they would be held accountable. If they could blame others, this would be different. They were implicated by Ma Xianglin, and such a responsibility would not be so great.

Since the generals found the scapegoat, they could keep up with it. They wanted to blame him and immediately argued with them and almost started to fight.

Ma Xianglin was shocked and angry. He saw that Lu Baqun and others were useless in fighting, so he shirked the responsibility and turned the raids in a first-class way. If he blamed this responsibility on himself, the problem would be big, and he would not dare to accept this responsibility no matter what.

While both sides were arguing, they caught several Mongolian soldiers who had fallen out of the team.

In such a big battle, it is impossible for no one to fall behind, and it is impossible for everyone to escape unscathed. There are still more than a dozen of them being caught by the other party.

These people were betrayed to the generals one by one. When Lu Baqun saw that there was still a living person, he immediately asked someone to protect all of them and never give Ma Xianglin a chance to kill him. As a result, when he interrogated, these people all said in unison that they had an agreement with Ma Xianglin's people and that both sides would not interfere with each other.

In this way, he has the confidence. He was alone just now, and it was not worth making up for it. Now everyone says this, so this can be used as evidence.

Why do the Chinese army speak in unison and say the same? It is because they made arrangements before they set off.

If someone is behind, falls behind, and is caught by the enemy, just say that.

Li Dingguo was not sure whether such a strategy was useful, but they just said that. When they said that, they hoped to get rid of the enemy, and they all succeeded.

Lu Baqun suffered a great loss and suffered heavy casualties. The first thing he thought of was to shirk responsibility and find a scapegoat, because there was no choice. If he didn't choose a scapegoat, he would be Lu Banqun's death.

He knew that Ma Xianglin had a good reputation and that the general valued and trusted him very much. Even His Majesty the Emperor knew that he was young and promising, with a bright future. The Ma family had a very strong influence in Sichuan, but he still said that he had no choice, either he died or the other party died.

The raid last night caused extremely heavy casualties in Lubaqun's army. After dawn, after half a day of collection, they finally found the results.

Nearly 3,000 people died on the spot, and countless people were missing and separated. In the end, more than 4,000 people were able to gather around him. It can be said that they were completely defeated.

The battle of Yiling won by the Ming army was considered to have its own majesty and morale. This was called winning the flag and winning the first place. However, as the two pioneers were defeated one after another, the little morale they won was gone, and they returned to the beginning overnight.

The two of them dared not to take down Xiangyang City with their few people, and at the same time they did not dare to go back to Yiling, so they had to set up camp on the spot and wait for the main force of the Marquis to arrive.

But they all sent their confidants to the camp and complained to the general, hoping to turn the blame on the other party and leave them clear.
