With the roar of the muskets, the Tartars, who had begun to gradually disengage, fell in rows.

Enemies in retreat are always easier to deal with, especially on the side with the advantage of long-range firepower, and at this time it is simply harvesting without damage.

The Tartars of the central front retreated faster and faster, but the Qi army was not in a hurry to pursue, and the selected front soldiers and the sharp spearmen of the Zhenyuan battalion who suffered heavy casualties formed a protective line together, and while slowly advancing, they covered the divine soldiers to give full play to their firepower.

Under the generous rotation of the guns, the Tartars' military spirit quickly fell into an inevitable state of collapse, and gradually, even Wanyan Lou lost control of the front-line troops—he had just put all the officers and overseers into battle as reserves.

Eventually, in about the fifth round of musket fire, the Tartar, who had withdrawn more than fifty paces, let out a shout and retreated like a tide.

The Tartars of the Central Front finally collapsed.

The cavalry entangled on both flanks found that the situation on the central front was not good, and the Tartars showed the highest level of a strong feudal army, and the cavalry on both flanks did not retreat, but quickly broke away from contact with the Qi army in front of them by virtue of the tactical mobility advantage of the cavalry, and consciously concentrated on the central front.

A quarter of an hour later, Wanyan Lou used the cavalry on both wings to reorganize the battle team and began to gather the rout.

At this time, Wanyan Lou Room had lost all the chances to win, because there were more and more Qi troops crossing the river, and half an hour later, even part of the field artillery had crossed the Qing River, not to mention that Lou Room had suffered heavy casualties at this time, even if the whole division came and had previous experience, he did not dare to rush the Qi army array with artillery support.

But he didn't want to accept the result of complete defeat - this non-clan general, known as the first Jurchen general, still wanted to keep as many troops as possible, after all, all the Jurchen soldiers he brought out this time were Jurchen soldiers, and these core forces, the entire Jin country currently only had 50,000.

As if to save his face, Wanyan Lou regrouped a mile away from the Qi army's array, and he used the rear formation led by the living girl (composed of the previous routs) and the cavalry just deployed on both flanks to intercept the deserters, and quickly reassembled a force of about 3,000 people.

After seeing scattered cavalry on the flanks of the Qi army's formation, Wanyan Lou finally ordered the troops to retreat.

Xu Shiyang did not order the pursuit, the Tartars did throw away a large number of horses, but they had too many horses, and the remaining armored soldiers could still guarantee one person and one horse, and the hundreds of cavalry in his hands did not dare to pursue the three thousand enemy cavalry, and the infantry could not catch up with the cavalry who were bent on fleeing.

Xu Shiyang calmly looked at the enemy who was gradually disappearing and disappeared, and did not give the order to pursue.

Li Jinghuai, the commander of the Dingyuan Brigade, ran over excitedly, and shouted with excitement: "Commander! We won! Win! ”

Xu Shiyang glanced at him, but he didn't blame him.

After all, all the previous victories of the Qi Provincial New Army and its predecessor, the Qingzhou Army, against the Tartars were either sneak attacks or defensive counterattacks that made people feel a little aggrieved, and no one else had even won except them.

Therefore, the impression of the invincibility of the Tartar field is still deeply entrenched in the minds of most people.

The battle just now was not only a field battle, but also a temporary disadvantage after the Qi army forced the crossing, and the troops were forced to cooperate with many pure Tartar infantry and cavalry, and the battle was won.

This victory is definitely a great encouragement to the Qi army and the nation that has sunk for nearly twenty years.

"Don't worry, it's just a battle."

Xu Shiyang said calmly:

"This battle is not over yet, and it does not prove that we have won the war against the Tartars."

"Now, you go to the south bank, take the Dingyuan camp to stabilize your position, and don't give the Tartars a chance."

Xu Shiyang did not think that Wanyan Lou would dare to turn back and fight again, but it was very important for officers and men to develop a good habit of always being vigilant.

"Yes." Hearing this, Li Jinghuai was a little unimpressed by this order.

"Let Feng Sanhu take people to clean up the battlefield, bring our wounded back, and take care of the corpses of the martyrs."

Xu Shiyang continued to order:

"Also, it's very important for us to collect as many horses as possible from the Tartars."

When Yan Lou came, there were 6,000 armor soldiers, one person and two horses, and when he left, he was only followed by 3,000 people, and in order to get away as soon as possible, they did not take all the war horses with them, and it is estimated that it is good to maintain one person and one horse.

There should be seven or eight thousand war horses left near the battlefield, and if they can all be taken away, the number of war horses owned by the Qi army can directly quadruple.

For the new army, this is a trophy that is not inferior to Gaizhou City, and Xu Shiyang certainly wants to hold it all in his hands as much as possible.

"Yes!"

This time the response was much more cheerful.

Li Jinghuai naturally knew how precious these war horses were.

"Well, finally, tell Luo Haitao of the Navy to prepare a fast ship to go to Changsheng Island, tell that over there, and execute it as planned."

Xu Shiyang doesn't plan to let go of Yan Lou's room - come and pretend, if you can win, you can win, if you can't win, you can leave, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

Before coming to Gaizhou, Xu Shiyang still had two field brigades on Changsheng Island to prevent the Tartars from Fuzhou, and Lushun in Jinzhou also had one brigade each.

Isn't it a pity not to use such a huge field force?

The General Staff of the New Army had made a complete plan before the war: if the Tartars were really in Fuzhou and these ambushes dared to reinforce Gaizhou, then the garrison troops of the New Army in southern Liaoning would be dispatched by ship and take advantage of the strategic mobility advantage of sea transportation to land somewhere between Gaizhou and Fuzhou to ambush the retreating Tartars.

Judging from the current situation, the morale of the remaining people in Wanyan Lou's room has already fallen to the lowest point, and the troops with combat effectiveness are only 1,000 at most, and if they are ambushed by two field brigades, it is possible to directly bomb the battalion.

"Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and when the scattered troops come back, let's go and take Gaizhou."

This should also be the last result of Xu Shiyang's trip, there are still 1,000 Tartars in the city at this time, as well as about 20,000 women and children of various ethnic groups.

Because the combat effectiveness was too weak, when Xu Shiyang went to Qinghe to meet Yan Lou's room, the defenders in the city didn't even dare to go out of the city to challenge the militia that Xu Shiyang stayed here to block the door.

When the troops scattered by the Qi army and the artillery fighting along the Qinghe River returned, Gaizhou was just a ripe fruit, and he only needed to reach out and pick it.

……

"Amma......."

Wanyan Huonu walked beside Wanyan Lou's room with a sad face, and her voice was depressed like a defeated dog who had been kicked hard:

"We've fought too hard in this battle, give me another team of cavalry, and let me go back and charge for a while! Now Hangou is definitely celebrating the victory, and I will definitely break through ......."

"As I said, sometimes it takes more courage to live than to die." Wan Yan Lou said calmly: "Do you think you have a chance to rush away from them?" Having this kind of thinking only proves that you are not yet a qualified commander-in-chief. ”

"Amma asks you, why do you think we lost this time? Where did we lose? ”
