Even when the vision was dim at night, the offensive of the Ming Dynasty army did not stop, but it was not as fierce as in the white room, but it also brought a lot of trouble to the Hong Dynasty army.

The news that Sun Chuanting supervised Xiangcheng had already been known by Kong Youde, but now they knew that the other party was in Xiangcheng, and Kong Youde and they had nothing to do.

With this famous marshal with the most prestige in the Ming Dynasty presiding over the situation, the fighting spirit displayed by the Ming Dynasty army is also rarely seen by the officers and soldiers of the Third Army of the Hong Dynasty.

Especially those generals of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps because of the existence of Sun Chuanting, a coach with strict means, no color and deep background strength, they no longer have the previous lazy war mood, although it cannot be said that everyone fights first, but they also cooperate tacitly and dare not slack off.

The generals are like this, and the soldiers at the bottom are naturally more hard-working, and the new reinforcements who have just come to the ramp, in addition to rushing to recuperate, everyone who joined the battlefield at this time is holding back a lot of energy, although they fought a day during the day, but when the generals of the general army launched an attack command at night, the soldiers did not feel how much powerless.

Sun Chuanting knew that at this time, their Ming Dynasty army rarely had a good opportunity to win a big victory head-on.

Although the battle during the day caused a lot of losses to the third army of the Hong Dynasty, coupled with the loss of the Hong Dynasty army in the previous Xiangcheng offensive and defensive battle, this Xiangcheng operation can already be called a long-lost victory, and the words reported to the court will definitely be praised and rewarded by the court at night, and at the same time, it can also block the mouths of many other officials in the court.

However, what Sun Chuanting wanted was not only this great victory, he wanted to eat this besieged Hongchao army at the foot of Xiangcheng, even if he paid most of the casualties of the Ming army in the city, he did not hesitate to do so.

For this reason, he must not let the Hong Dynasty army have the slightest respite, even at night he also issued an attack instruction, strongly asking the generals of the Ming army on all lines to continue to maintain pressure on the Hong Dynasty's position.

The sound of fighting in the eastern suburbs of the city never stopped, because the Hongchao artillery regiment, which had lost its field of vision, should have been dumb, but at this time, it was contrary to convention, and continued to fire at night.

"Is the explosives laid?"

"It's done, but Xiao Shikai, the commander of the artillery regiment, is still unwilling to give up the artillery of their artillery regiment!"

When Zhan Wenbo reported, with a little wry smile, he said one thing.

"Idiot!!"

Kong Youde scolded: "As long as the people are still there, can't we Hongchao Manufacturing Bureau recast new ones for these dead things!" ”

"Now we are going to break through, not only the artillery of their artillery regiment, but even we have to give up all the weight, at this time he still doesn't know the severity??"

"Pass on Lao Tzu's words, if he Xiao Shikai is reluctant to use these artillery, then he will stay alone in the artillery regiment position and fight the enemy with his artillery!"

"It just so happens that Lao Tzu has one less soldier to replace the explosives!"

Angry words are angry words, Zhan Wenbo didn't dare to take this seriously, but responded with a wry smile, thinking about how to persuade Xiao Shikai next.

A qualified gunner is much more expensive than an ordinary soldier, whether it is the usual training or the knowledge they need, the energy required to train them is more than ten times that of ordinary soldiers, not to mention the middle-level generals like Xiao Shikai, who is not a treasure in the army, who is willing to use them to block the gun's hole.

"Also, the dismantled baggage carts are all used to house the wounded and sick and the accompanying medics, send 5,000 elites to open the way for them, and the rest of the soldiers will follow me to cut off the rear for them!"

After Kong Youde vented the anger in his heart, he quickly calmed down again and continued to formulate strategies in a deep voice.

Obviously, the time for the Aircraft Participation Department to formulate the retreat plan was not enough, which required Kong Youde to rely on his rich experience to make a decision, and the Aircraft Participation Department to check and fill in the gaps.

"Commander, more than 500 soldiers among the wounded and sick have advised me: they are willing to buy time for our army to break through."

Hong Chao's words made Kong Youde's expression change.

"These soldiers are all seriously wounded, most of them are disabled, even after they are rescued from Xuzhou City, there is no guarantee that they will be able to survive, even if they survive, they will not be able to live like a normal person in the future."

"Nonsense, our Third Army is not shameless enough to need a group of wounded soldiers who have done their duty, and we are broken!"

Zhan Wenbo's explanation is certainly reasonable, but Kong Youde cannot use these reasons as an excuse for him to give up on this group of colleagues who live and die together.

"But Commander, they have already put down their words, whether you agree or not, they have already decided this matter, and they can't be a burden to drag us down."

"I went to the temporary medical center to persuade them, and not only did they prepare muskets in advance, but they also kept holding grenades in their hands, and they looked like they were at home, so I couldn't say anything."

Zhan Wenbo's eyes had admiration and helplessness at the same time, and he replied with difficulty.

"A bunch of bastards, you know that Lao Tzu is making trouble!!"

In the dim light, Zhan Wenbo seemed to see a crystal light flashing in Kong Youde's cloudy eyes, and then with Kong Youde's action of looking up at the sky, there was no trace.

"I'm going to meet these bastards!"

The makeshift infirmary was placed on the left side of the artillery regiment's position, because it was in the center of the battlefield and was surrounded by the officers and men of the Third Army.

Kong Youde's arrival, the more than 1,000 wounded and sick soldiers in the hospital were not surprised at all, except for a few soldiers who could still get up and move, stand up and Kong Youde saluted, the rest of the more battles, they could only lie on the hospital bed and salute Kong Youde.

"Commander!"

In the remote corner closest to the artillery regiment's position, more than 500 wounded and sick soldiers of the Hongchao army were lying on the hospital bed, holding a musket and a few grenades on the side of the hospital bed.

"Put down the weapons of your audience, you are now wounded in your hands, and you have no obligation to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!"

Kong Youde held up a serious ground hole and said tremblingly.

"Commander, look at us, we don't know where to go with this half of our body, and we will be useless when we go back, and we will drag the brothers to retreat!"

The Manjun patted the empty lower half of his limbs, and replied with difficulty and pain.
