Chapter 1599: Jiang Quanyi's Tactics

PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Guangwu Road Wu Yanzu".

What Lan Bai didn't expect was that Jiang Quanyi had more insidious, shameless, and despicable methods.

As a result of the violent explosion, smoke and dust were raised.

It was impossible to observe movement inside the city from outside the city.

In addition, the Qing cavalry outside the city were more "self-healing" or collecting and treating the wounded.

No one would think that in such a situation, the defenders of the city would still be able to turn over.

Yes, this explosion did catch the Qing army by surprise and looked extremely embarrassed, but it couldn't change the tide of the war.

The casualties of thousands of people could not shake the army of tens of thousands of people in Lanbai.

So, many more, including Rambai, thought it was a desperate gamble on the part of the defenders before retreating.

When the smoke settles, you can regroup into the city.

It's just a somewhat humiliating episode.

It is precisely because of the consensus of the enemy army from top to bottom that no one has ordered the vigilance and the whole team.

That is to say, after a quarter of an hour, under the power of the explosion, the Qing army was already scattered and disorganized.

As a result, under Jiang Quanyi's "strict discipline", they learned how to be a person and how to fight.

……。

Jiang Quanyi's methods have always been ruthless, and he said something that he didn't like very well.

If you are bitten by him, it will be difficult to get out of it.

According to Jiang Quanyi's statement, even if I am defeated and die in the end, before I am defeated and die, I have to tear a piece of flesh off the enemy's body, so that the enemy will be painful every night in the future, and I will never forget it...... Well, in fact I am not defeated, I am still alive, living in the hearts of the enemy.

This kind of thing, looking for the entire Northern Expeditionary Army, Jiang Quanyi did it alone, even if it was Wu Zheng, if Wu Zheng decided to retreat, he would definitely not joke with the lives of the soldiers again, and fight a defensive counterattack, and it was a defensive counterattack that was completely disproportionate to the strength of the enemy and us, this is not a gamble, but a gamble, a madman's gamble.

Because of the preparation in advance, Jiang Qianyi withdrew the defenders two miles, which should have been closer, but Jiang Quanyi meant that it was okay to die under the enemy's swords and arrows, and it would be too unjust to die under the rocks stirred up by the explosion of his own gunpowder.

Listen, listen, isn't it ridiculous that this guy can ignore the lives of nearly 3,000 officers and soldiers, but insist on caring about the casualties caused by the flying rubble?

It's like when countless soldiers are starving to death, but he is as bored as he is struggling with whether the soldiers will choke to death if they eat too quickly.

But his soldiers eat him.

When the explosion sounded, the soldiers surrounding Jiang Quanyi looked at Jiang Quanyi's eyes, full of admiration and obedience, as if the person in front of them was taking them to heaven, not hell.

My brother, do you know that there are tens of thousands of enemy cavalry outside the city?!

……。

Those who are prepared are not prepared, after all, they take a big advantage.

This is indisputable.

When Jiang Quanyi led his descendants, who numbered less than 3,000 people, rushed out of the gap in the smoke-filled city wall like a group of refugees, the enemy was stunned, and so was Lan Bai.

There was a moment of consternation, but the defenders rushed to less than a mile in front of them.

When countless black bumps were thrown at him, the Qing army was obedient, and that thing would blow up!

These cavalrymen were not Dolgon's ironclad heavy cavalry, and they couldn't resist the power of grenade explosions with heavy armor.

Therefore, the Qing army consciously chose to retreat.

Rambai was also retreating, and he twisted his horse's head and retreated faster.

There is no need to restrain the retreating soldiers, because four legs are definitely faster than two, and after opening up the distance, and then organizing a counterattack, these southern barbarians will definitely collapse under the iron hoof.

Lan Bai had even already thought that when he would fight back, he would kill these southern barbarians completely, and then trample their bones back and forth to relieve the hatred in his heart.

The spontaneous retreat of the Qing army was undoubtedly correct, the ranks were cholera and the cavalry had no speed, how could they confront the rushing defenders?

Moreover, the defenders had grenades and muskets in their hands, which were weapons that did not need to be touched, and the range was the difference between long range and short range compared to riding a bow.

Lan Bai is indeed a veteran of the battlefield and has a lot of experience, and in his opinion, this experienced army under his command is far from collapsing due to a slight setback, this is an orderly retreat.

However, Rambai overlooked one point, a crucial point.

That is the lineup of tens of thousands of cavalry, with a long depth.

Even if it was already scattered and faced with a wall several miles wide, it was three or four miles deep.

The previous explosion did kill hundreds of Qing troops, but the damage to the Qing troops outside the city wall was not great, and more were injured by shocks and flying rubble.

There are a large number of lightly injured people, so when Jiang Quanyi led his troops to suddenly counterattack, the Qing army, which was not injured in the front, quickly turned around and retreated, and naturally left this group of slow moves.

As a result, the retreating ranks of the Qing army were loose, chaotic and continuous.

That's pretty scary!

Whether the wounded are light or severe, the wounded lack resistance, especially when the main force retreats, falls behind, and is pursued by the enemy, the despair cannot be expressed in words.

This kind of desperation makes them have only one thought in their minds - run, run as hard as they can.

Can you outrun the defenders who have accelerated and spread their feet to charge?

This is almost impossible in a short time, at least until the war horse accelerates.

The horses also accelerated very quickly, but the problem was that there were retreating people in front of everyone, and the depth of the team for miles was a huge pit, and the Qing cavalry that kept surging back, like a rolling wave, naturally swirled to both sides when it was hindered by the front.

As a result, the formation of the team began to be chaotic.

The most important thing is that Jiang Quanyi's subordinates opened fire while chasing, and did not reload after firing, but continued to chase and continue to throw bombs.

If the muzzle of the gun is not aimed, it can be hit best, and the grenade is thrown even more messily, as long as the direction is right, it does not matter whether it blows up or not, the important thing is to force the enemy to flee for his life.

In fact, if someone is standing on the castle tower at this time, no, the castle tower at this time has been blown up, it should be said that standing on a high place, you will find a strange phenomenon on the battlefield.

A back wave of defenders was lapping the front wave of the Qing army in front.

Keep beating so that the front wave "goes forward" and slaps the "wave" in front.

The originally orderly "waves" in front were constantly slapped by the back waves, and finally messed up, and then took over the back waves to shoot the waves in front.

Lan Bai, who was fleeing back, was suddenly dumbfounded.

In fact, he couldn't understand this tactic, he thought it was just an emergency.

But Jiang Quanyi disagreed, because this trick was used by him with preparation.

This tactic has a nice name, called "inverted bead blind".
