Jiang Quanyi reacted the fastest, jumped up and roared: "Are you stupid, he X, don't you know the credit for sending it to the door...... Don't take him yet?! ”

Bashan was captured, most of the 1,800 cavalry were lost, and the rest were already frightened and lost their fighting spirit, this scene only happened in a snap of a finger.

The Qing army watching the battle on the city wall was caught off guard, and they couldn't react.

The two sides didn't even have contact, so the victory and defeat were already divided?

The 1,800 iron horsemen didn't even have the strength to fight back?

When he saw the war horse dragging Bashan and was captured by the Northern Expeditionary Army, the general of the city came back to his senses.

This sucks!

The Lord will be captured, and even if the city is not broken, I am afraid that I will have to eat melons.

Fortunately, Bashan only took away the cavalry, and there were more than 6,000 infantry in the city, and the enemy was only 6,000 people, which was worthy of a battle!

The general quickly gave the order, went down to the city wall, and took the initiative to attack and rescue Bashan.

This command was carried out very well.

At least Bashan's cronies are relieved.

If they lose Bashan, they will be incorporated into other banners, they will lose everything they have, they will become slaves of other banners, and everything will start all over again.

How many times in life can you start over?

……。

Jiang Quanyi smiled.

He smiled happily as he watched the defenders crowded on the ramparts, some of them beginning to retreat down the city.

That's what he's really for.

Siege, that's bluffing.

If there is no artillery to keep up, you have to fill it with the lives of the soldiers.

Jiang Quanyi was reluctant.

"Withdraw!"

Jiang Quanyi gave the order quickly and decisively.

The vanguard of the Northern Expeditionary Army, carrying the prisoner Ba Shan, who had just been captured, retreated like a tide.

This scene made the defenders angry.

What are you doing?

Can you fight in a dignified manner?

Seeing is believing, and the enemy has retreated after all.

Why refund?

Naturally, they did not dare to fight head-on.

But he didn't think about it, since the artillery of the Northern Expeditionary Army could annihilate more than a thousand cavalry, how could he care about these thousands of pursuing infantry?

Cute people, often at the fork in the decision, always like to think towards the side that is beneficial to themselves, as for the unfavorable side, it is completely ignored.

The general wondered why he retreated if the enemy was sure of victory.

Because I was not sure, I had to retreat.

Then, this explanation constantly strengthened his judgment, and he brazenly ordered, "Pursuit!" ”

……。

Jiang Quanyi's tactics have begun to break away from the scope of infantry drills.

There is no such style of play in the infantry drill code.

But Jiang Quanyi likes to be unconventional, and he plans to write his tactics today into a code of conduct for progressive soldiers, so that he can live with the Northern Expeditionary Army!

It is not easy to write a code of conduct for progressive soldiers, and it is not just a victory to verify that his tactics are representative and reproducible.

Therefore, what Jiang Quanyi wants to do is to win!

The defenders of Xinghua City, when they left the city gate, the Northern Expeditionary Army was already retreating.

That is, this distance is three miles.

Three miles of land is nothing to the cavalry, but to the infantry, it has to make people run straight and panting.

The problem is that the Northern Expeditionary Army is also running.

If you want to catch up, you have to chase desperately, and the speed overshadows the enemy.

This is another kind of Jiang Quanyi's disguised way of waiting for work, at least, if the enemy wants to pursue, you have to run three miles.

And often, when you run down for three miles, people who are not used to it will gasp like a cow.

How else to fight?

But the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army are different, running is a compulsory course for them to practice every day.

Three miles away...... Tsk, if you don't kneel for seven or eight miles one day, it is estimated that you won't care.

If you want to catch up, it's hard!

Of course, Jiang Quanyi can't let the enemy lose hope of catching up, so what is the Northern Expeditionary Army doing for a while? Wait for the enemy to chase you!

It's a pity that the soldiers carrying 800 tiger squatting cannons on their backs have really suffered, who is willing to carry more than 20 pounds of iron bumps to tease people?

The key is that you can't fight yet, for fear of scaring people back.

This chase and escape, a whole half a day, just like that.

Until the Northern Expeditionary Army "fled" back to the vicinity of Ningxiang, became the rear team of the front team, and encountered the main force of the Taizhou Guard, then everything should be over.

……。

On the official road, more and more Qing troops were falling behind.

The defenders are already out of breath, and this courageless southern barbarian will play tricks, can't he fight with dignity...... Is this to escape back to Taizhou City?

The partial general regretted it a little in his heart, not that he regretted that he should not have sent troops to save Bashan, but that he regretted that he should not have pursued.

Chase down for half a day and look at the soldiers around you, how can they still have the strength to fight.

Thinking of this, the general couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and he finally realized the danger.

You must not chase again, once you pass Ningxiang, in case the enemy has an ambush, it will be dangerous, and you will bring out 4,000 people, if you are ambushed, Xinghua City is afraid that it will not be able to defend.

"Stop the pursuit!"

This order was so popular that it made those pursuing Qing soldiers want to pounce on them and kiss them.

It's a pity that in this half-day pursuit, not to mention that the people's hearts have run away, let's just say that the team and the establishment have long been dispersed.

There will be no soldiers, and no soldiers will be found.

Orders are also useful around the generals, and they can't be passed on.

The general was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and he really realized here how stupid he must have been when he went out of the city to pursue.

However, he could not regret it at all, because the shelling of the Northern Expeditionary Army officially began at this juncture.

……。

In fact, the general's order was issued in a timely manner, if this was under normal circumstances, even if Jiang Quanyi set up an ambush, he would not be able to take too much advantage.

Because with the firearms at hand, whether it is muskets or artillery, there is more defense than enough offense.

It's not that the firepower is not enough, it's that the advance is too slow.

In addition to attacking the city, such as Xinghua City, it is there, as long as the perimeter is cleared, you can leisurely push the artillery into the firing range, and then bombard, even if you can't collapse the city wall, scare and scare people, it is always possible.

But if it's a field battle, as long as the enemy wants to escape, he can't chase it, he can't catch up, and he doesn't have enough mobility.

It's nothing more than the Qing army chasing the Northern Expeditionary Army at this time, and the competition is just as bad as who can't run first.

But the problem is that since Jiang Quanyi has the first and second steps, he can naturally expect this step.

The rear team that was changed to the front team, that is, the soldiers who carried tiger squatting cannons on their shoulders, had already received Jiang Quanyi's pre-war guidance.

Jiang Quanyi's deployment was very simple, that is, when they threw off their feet and fled south, they would stop when they encountered the main force from Taizhou, and cooperate with the main force to carry out artillery bombardment on the pursuing troops on the official road.

This shelling is different from the city of Xinghua.

The difference is that this time there are three artillery echelons of far, medium and near.

Near, naturally it is a tiger squat cannon.

, is a rapid-fire gun.

Far away, that is the latest large-caliber gun, which is the result of imitating the broadside guns on imported warships and improving them, and Taizhou Wei has just been reequipped not long ago.
