When those lucky Qi cavalry who rushed behind heard the signal from the rear to finally sound to stop charging and retreat, they immediately turned their horses' heads and ran back desperately!

After all, seeing those teammates who rushed in front just now was even knocked to the ground with men and horses, which made these surviving cavalrymen feel very shocked and frightened! Not to mention that you don't even see the appearance of the enemy, you don't even know what weapon is attacking you!

I only saw that there were only a few people pushing a two-wheeled vehicle on the opponent's position, and then they were turning a thing with smoke and tongues of fire, so those teammates who rushed in front of them fell to the ground one after another, and they clearly saw the blood that suddenly spurted out of their bodies, such a sudden blow caught people off guard!

Now, just as the cavalry was desperately running back, they suddenly heard the sound of clattering not only continuing behind them, but now even the sound of cannons!

And one of them was not knocked to the ground because he rushed in the middle of the team just now, and now he has become a Qi cavalry at the back of the team, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something "whoosh" next to him, and flew over at a very fast speed, and then he saw that the bodies of several teammates in front of him suddenly exploded, and the people on horseback turned into a cloud of blood mist!

After seeing several of his teammates die so suddenly, there was a sudden explosion in the cavalry group! There was a loud "boom", and the cavalry and war horses in the center of the explosion were completely drowned in the flames, and the cavalry was suddenly swept to the ground by a wave of air!

When the cavalryman covered his two still buzzing ears and shook his still misty head, he saw a round pit one foot wide appeared in the snow not far from him, and the snow was stained with blood and covered with broken limbs, and the scene was very terrifying!

Just when Qi Bing was kneeling on the snow in a daze, he felt something flying over him at great speed, and then he didn't have time to turn his head when he saw that among his teammates in front of him, there was a sudden explosion!

And this time he saw more clearly how his teammates were reduced to pieces in the explosion! Even he saw those teammates who were farther away from the explosion, their bodies suddenly looked like they had been hit by something, some people had a big hole in their chests, which penetrated the entire body, some people's heads suddenly disappeared, some people broke their waists, and then a large number of teammates fell on the snow and died tragically on the battlefield for some reason!

And now Gao Changgong, who has been observing from the rear command, can see more clearly how his cavalry died!

So when Gao Changgong saw the extremely tragic death of his cavalry, his heart couldn't help but feel cold, and then his heart was full of fear, and he was a little unwilling, and said very sadly: "It seems that this Xiao Yao is really prepared!" He actually made those shells that could be fired from artillery, not only far, but also violently exploded! And there were so many musketeers in ambush, most of our cavalry were killed by the intensive fire of their large number of musketeers just now, isn't his forward brigade only 5,000 people, and the musket team is only 1,000 people, but the kind of shooting just now can actually defeat the cavalry impact at once, there must be more than a thousand muskets! Could it be because of the lack of horses, so Xiao Yao changed the cavalry team of more than 2,000 people in their forward brigade into musketeers? When did Xiao Yao make so many muskets, and why didn't Yinhai Commercial Bank tell us this information! And now that we are being attacked by these explosive shells, it seems that we have lost this battle! ”

"Even the cavalry can't attack their positions, and we can't fight them in a decisive battle! Remove! Evacuate! We can't stay here anymore and let Xiao Yao attack! We want to keep the strength! Gao Changgong took a deep breath, and then decisively ordered.

"And where are we going? Go to Xiapi County to meet the defenders over there? Or retreat north to the north of the Yellow River, or go west to Yingchuan County to join the army there? Wei Xiangyuan asked anxiously, because he also knew that the charge of the cavalry now could not play any role, which meant that the Qi army was already in the general trend, and the result of this battle was basically doomed to lose, but now we must strive not to lose too badly!

"As soon as we lose here, Xuzhou will definitely not be able to take it back, Xiapi County will only become a lonely city, and when the time comes, we will have to face Xiao Yao's siege, now there is no one in the world who can stop Xiao Yao's artillery siege, so Xiapi County will be lost sooner or later! As for retreating to the north of the Yellow River, it would be tantamount to giving up the Huaibei region to Chen Guo, and the current situation will not become so bad, so we retreat westward and rush to Yingchuan County to join the defenders over there, so that we still retain the strength to counterattack in Huaibei! Gao Changgong said in an analysis.

"What about the brothers over there in Xiapi County? There are still nearly 10,000 soldiers stationed there, so should we just abandon them here, regardless of whether they live or die? Wei Xiangyuan also said a little unwillingly, and his feelings for soldiers are much deeper than Gao Changgong's, and he can't do Gao Changgong's ruthlessness and decisiveness as a general.

"Send people over, let them abandon the city immediately, and then break through to the west to join us, and then only one can escape! In short, we have to retain our strength! Quick, go and order someone to let Zhang Dabao bring the artillery troops, quickly withdraw from the position, and bring these artillery pieces at all costs, because these artillery pieces are the basis for whether we can counterattack at that time! "As the commander-in-chief, Gao Changgong, although he was frightened by Xiao Yao's artillery, his mind still remained clear, and he still knew which was more important!

"Lord Wang, let me rush to Xiapi County to inform them, even if we can't escape at that time, we can fight Chen Jun to the death, and we can pull a cushion before we die!" Wei Xiangyuan said with a fearless look.

"No! Don't be presumptuous! I know that you have a good affection for the soldiers, like brothers, but now on the battlefield, we, as the people in the army, cannot be emotional, nor can we have the kindness of women! Do you think I just want to abandon these Daqi soldiers of ours, but the most important purpose for us now is to preserve our strength, not to bring everyone to a desperate situation for the sake of heroes, when the time comes, not only will we lose this battle, but also cause our Daqi to fall into an unfavorable situation, then even if we apologize with death, we can't afford to bear such a responsibility! Gao Changgong shook his head and said.

"Go and prepare to retreat! Taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Yao's troops now have no cavalry, it is impossible for them to pursue us, and we can quickly withdraw from this battle! Later, another group of infantry will be arranged, stay here and entangle with Xiao Yao and them, delay their pursuit, so that everyone else can retreat to Yingchuan County as soon as possible! Everyone only needs to remember one sentence, we must preserve our strength, and we can't all plant here today! Gao Changgong said fiercely.
