Only one round of artillery came, and the assembled Qing army and gunners all broke up without firing a single shot.

Although only eight shotguns were fired, the damage to the Qing army's firearms was not small, and more than 100 people were defeated. Iron projectiles are much harder than lead projectiles, so their penetration is much stronger, and some of the Qing soldiers standing in the second row were also hit.

Li Yan let the infantry continue to advance, and at the same time sent the last two hundred cavalry in his hands to pursue and destroy the fleeing Qing infantry. He didn't care about taking prisoners yet, but he couldn't leave a few thousand enemy infantry behind him, so he had to deal with them.

At this time, they had already sent someone to give an order, so that Wang Renfu, who was in the east of the city, would also lead his troops to participate in the pursuit, leaving the city of Beijing to Li Mu to control. It's a pity that Qian Er's rapid troops were left in Shandong, otherwise it would have been more convenient to pursue.

Su Bai also heard Li Yan's artillery fire. He stood in the saddle and looked at it, then came down and said, "Lord, let's go, the infantry has been dispersed." ”

Kong Youde's heart was extremely sad, his firecrackers and artillery were gone, how could he live in the future. The artillery is okay, he brought out some experienced gunners, and the imperial court can also make cannons, and there is hope for re-training and replenishment.

But the Fire Gun Camp is different. All the energy of the imperial court was spent on cannon casting, and their guns were captured by the Ming Kingdom. His firecrackers are all selected to pick out some acceptable quality, this time when he goes back, how can he replenish it, can he use those defective products that will explode at any time

Although Geng Zhongming didn't say anything, he also snickered in his heart. He annexed some of Kong Youde's subordinates, and Kong Youde also complained to the emperor. Well, now that the firearms camp he was proud of is over, he doesn't have any qualifications to be a big brother in front of him.

Su Bai saw that Kong Youde didn't react, so he hugged his fists and said, "King Huaishun, let's go first." ”

Geng Zhongming immediately agreed, and asked his own soldiers to inform the cavalry behind. When Su Bai began to retreat with the Eight Banners Cavalry, he persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Ruitu, hurry up, or you won't be able to leave." After saying that, he hurriedly beat his horse and retreated.

Kong Youde reluctantly looked into the distance, and could still see Li Yan's few cavalry chasing and killing his subordinates. But he had no choice but to watch.

At this time, Bai Shixiong and the others also began to start slowly, they were not sure whether the Qing army was really retreating, or they wanted to lure them forward. In particular, there was a group of more than 100 Qing troops standing still, which made them even more suspicious.

Kong Youde saw that Li Yan's cavalry was also moving, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he finally took his personal guards and turned around to catch up with Su Bai and Geng Zhongming, who had already retreated.

And those Han cavalry, just stopped to take a breath, they were notified that they were about to retreat again. But this time, let them go behind and continue to break the back. Everyone began to complain and curse their mother. But they can only obey orders, and their families are all outside the gate, and it is not pleasant to be slaves. The only thing they can hope for now is that the masters of the Eight Banners in front of them can run faster, so that they can catch up with the main force that withdrew first, so that Li Yan's cavalry will not dare to pursue them wantonly.

Bai Shixiong and the others saw that the Qing army seemed to be really retreating, so they also began to pursue cautiously. As they slowly accelerated, the Han cavalry that was dragging behind also accelerated to escape. And the Eight Banners cavalry in front was affected, and they also involuntarily accelerated and fled.

At this time, the cavalry was finally relieved and began to speed up to pursue the Qing army. As long as they get close to twenty paces, they can shoot.

Those Han troops had been pursued before, with countless casualties, and they had no means to fight back. At this time, the sound of firearms was heard again, so everyone was beating the war horses fiercely. After a while, he caught up with the Eight Banners cavalry in front. They didn't care about the instructions of the Eight Banners Master to break them, and continued to shoot horses and guns, bypassing by.

Bai Shixiong and the others did not follow these Han cavalry to make a detour, they chased all the way, as long as it was the enemy, it didn't matter what the Han army or the Eight Banners.

Although the Eight Banners cavalry had the skill of riding and archery, they knew that it would be difficult for their feather arrows to inflict casualties on Li Yan's cavalry. So they no longer shoot arrows at Li Yan's cavalry, but at the enemy's war horses.

As the distance between the two sides approached, bows and arrows and handcuffs were fired at each other. In the sound of fire, the knights of the Qing army fell from their horses one after another. Li Yan's cavalry, on the other hand, would often fall down with men and horses in the neighing of war horses, or be trampled into meat sauce by his companions behind, or trip his comrades behind, and suffer with his comrades.

In just a few moments, the cavalry team suffered dozens of casualties. Although they also wiped out dozens of people, or even hundreds of Qing troops, they still couldn't afford such an exchange. The Qing army still has tens of thousands of cavalry, but they only have less than 5,000, even if it is one for three, they can't afford to consume it.

Bai Shixiong first lowered the speed of his horse, and at the same time shouted a command: "Stop the pursuit and stand by"

The cavalry around him also slowed down and repeated Bai Shixiong's orders loudly. Slowly, the cavalry heard the order, stopped beating the horses, and let the horses slowly stop.

Liang Zhenfang came to Bai Shixiong and asked, "General Bai, why don't you chase it?"

He kept in the forefront, and although the projectiles of the four handcuffs were fired, he still tried to pursue. He even chased after him and whipped down two Qing soldiers with a steel whip. Their handcuffs could not have a 100% hit rate, and the Qing army's cavalry could not hit the target with every arrow. So he rushed closest to the Qing army, but he was unscathed.

Bai Shixiong pointed to the back and said with some sadness: "The casualties are too great, it is not cost-effective to change one for one." ”

Liang Zhenfang looked at a large number of corpses and wounded people scattered on the ground behind him, and indeed found that there were many of his own people wearing chain mail.

"So many casualties," he asked, surprised.

Bai Shixiong said helplessly: "The Qing army's cavalry shooting is indeed powerful, no worse than our handguns." The brothers died miserably, even if they don't die now, I don't know how long they can last. ”

After that, he taught a lesson: "You are the president of Qian, not a small soldier, you must always pay attention to the situation of the team and make corresponding adjustments in time." After following the commander for so long, haven't you learned what an officer should do?"

Liang Zhenfang clenched his fists: "The last general forgot his duties on a whim, please deal with the general." ”

"It's the first time you lead the troops, forget it this time." Bai Shixiong said with a straight face: "If you can't remember what you should do next time, then you can only report to the marshal and let the marshal deal with it." ”

"General Xie, the last general will remember the general's teachings." Liang Zhenfang said gratefully. Then he asked, "So what do we do next?"

"I've already sent someone to inform the marshal, wait for the marshal to show me."

Liang Zhenfang immediately said: "Then the lowly duty sent people to follow the Qing army, lest they do anything." ”

"Well, okay, let's do it." Bai Shixiong nodded appreciatively.
