Chapter 399: Counterattack 1

The collapse of the Spanish soldiers caused the morale of the entire battlefield, which had been extremely depressed and low, to drop to zero, and then, even if it was faced with the threat of the death of the Overseer, it was much more gratifying than rushing to the front and tearing the invisible barrage of the Huaxia Army to pieces, not to mention that the collapse of the Spanish Overseer gave the oppressed mercenaries on the entire battlefield an outlet for catharsis.

This is what led to the big defeat.

The Spanish soldiers had a bit of a conscience, and they carried the body of the unlucky captain of the Overseer out of the battlefield, and the Governor's bodyguard could certainly get the body of their Doge out of the battlefield, because the enemy was still far away from them.

"Doot-to-do-" The loud trumpet sounded. Zhang Qiang seized the opportunity in time to start a counterattack.

All those who could move were filled with righteous indignation, and all rushed at the enemies who had turned and fled.

Slash at the enemy's back one by one, how can the enemy have the kung fu to care about this with them now? They don't understand who to cut with them, even if they are stabbed in the back, they can run or run, or stay for a while, the people who are not dead will come around, just like stepping on watermelons, and they will step on the people who fall to the ground, and go down with a knife, not five horses and corpses, but into meat slices, and fried meat with a big knife.

Soon the Huaxia army regained the camp, and Zhang Qiang re-ascended to the observation point of the camp where he was before, that is, the place where the Spanish governor died, where the only gatehouse-type building still intact remained.

The remnants of dozens of Ming troops and civilians had already rushed out of the camp and chased the enemy to attack, while the Huaxia army also boarded the camp and shot at the enemy from all heights.

"Order the cavalry of the scout battalion to mount and pursue, the lancer battalion to dismount and pursue, the dragoon battalion to attack, and the chasseur battalion to guard the camp." Zhang Qiang gave the order.

All the active Huaxia troops chased out of the camp and pursued them all the way to the enemy's main position.

The cavalry of the scout battalion pursued because Zhang Qiang knew that the enemy still had troops, and those Taixi people's own firearms units had not yet joined the battle, and the previous ones who had broken up were all people's warlords.

The Huaxia army can no longer lose, there are only more than 2,000 troops left, almost all the melee troops are seriously wounded, and there are only a few dozen people who can move and pursue, and the cavalry of the scout battalion is only a little pressure on the enemy, so that they have the opportunity to reorganize their troops, choose whether to escape next, or continue to fight, and clean up the mess.

The commander of the chaser battalion ran over, "My lord, after the count, the scout battalion lost 200 people in the previous battle, and the 100 engineer households lost more than 200 people, and now there are only 30 people who can fight, more than 200 people in the 100 households of baggage, and only more than 20 people who can fight, and the lancer battalion has lost 400 people, and there are only more than 100 people who can fight. Dragoon battalions and chasseur battalions suffered small losses, more than thirty per battalion, and another thirty were out of combat. There are more than 2,000 people and Ming troops in our camp, and only 57 of them can fight. ”

Zhang Qiang looked out through the lookout that had been blown up, the enemy did not stop fleeing at all, and there was no sign of gathering troops, once someone stopped, those special marksmen of the dragoon battalion would shoot and kill the officers who tried to gather troops or those veterans who had responsibilities, resulting in the pursuit of the side Although the strength was pitiful, the enemy's escape was really like seeing a ghost, and there was no courage to stop and counterattack.

"Gather troops, give me a pursuit, the enemy who must be killed today will never dare to underestimate the Huaxia army so much in the future, let them hear the Huaxia army in the future, just like the Ming army heard the invincible words of the Manchurians, and fled when they heard the wind."

When Zhang Qiang said this, the cavalry battalion had already penetrated into the camp occupied by the Ming army five miles away from the enemy.

At this time, the battlefield was confused by gunsmoke, there were fires everywhere, and the burning fires could be seen in a circle of five or six miles, and the sky had just darkened, and there were no mercenaries and Indian soldiers on the enemy's defensive line 200 meters away, let alone the fluttering rice flags of the British army.

"Knock knock, knock knock," the war drums beat again, the whole army of the Chinese army began to gather, and then formed a neat team, those kneeling and surrendering enemies in a radius of five or six were also surprised to look at the Chinese soldiers who pursued them, the soldiers of the Chinese army turned back to the front of the camp, and then slowly pressed towards the Portuguese coalition camp behind the first trench dug by the Ming army earlier.

In the distance, Governor Schroeder and Governor Zaichi reacted quickly, this pair of Portuguese and Dutch brothers, but the reaction was very fast, because they had already been defeated together, no matter how arrogant, they were prepared, and the two of them quickly gathered their own troops and lined up behind the first trench.

But the Huaxia army did not rush towards them, but immediately dispersed again, because the Huaxia Army Guard Regiment was almost all cavalry, and there were many war horses or pack horses, even if the enemy broke through the camp and lost a lot, but the remaining war horses and the remaining Huaxia Army soldiers were still more than less.

Everyone is fighting horses, of course, they are captives, and the captives all over the mountains and fields don't know how many there are, and how many can be caught, and countless places in the Huaxia Army are still waiting for them to work.

War horses neighed, gunshots continued, and screams resounded throughout the battlefield more than ten miles outside the county seat of the Trench Gate.

None of the combined Portuguese forces dared to cross the first line of trenches to counterattack the enemy.

Several governors remained resolutely in their camps, restraining their troops, watching the enemy nervously, not daring to move around at will, ready to flee at any moment.

Feng Quan returned to the Qing army camp in embarrassment, the entire Qing army camp was empty, and most of the people who could escape back were cavalry, but now there are not many two battles, the Qing army lost 5,000 men and horses, and only two or three hundred people and horses remained here.

Feng Quan nervously asked Kong Youxing, "Master Kong, will the Huaxia Army come here?" ”

Kong Youxing was not nervous, his days on the battlefield were longer than those in the officialdom, and he was still sure of the situation now, so he replied calmly: "Lord Feng, don't worry, the regular army units of the entire coalition army have not moved yet, and these regular armies are much higher than those mercenary units."

Even if because there are too many people who have died these days, the coalition soldiers who have been harmed are a little dazed and their morale is low, but after all, they still have more than 10,000 troops, and they are all troops with muskets and artillery.

Their firearms troops are much more elite than our firearms troops, and the Huaxia army is still at the end of its strength, and he has only 2,000 people, how dare he fight against tens of thousands of coalition troops? ”

Feng Quan walked around, and also felt reasonable, you have a camp for defense, you don't care if there are many people, but you come out to attack the enemy, attack and defend in a different position, your people may not have more troops than one family, and there is no artillery, how dare you take the initiative to attack?

After Feng Quan figured it out, he said to Kong Youxing: "Master Kong, let's go find those Portuguese, let them attack, and take the opportunity to attack, otherwise it will be difficult for the Huaxia army to recover and escape." ”

Kong Youxing's face was ugly, and he said anxiously: "Lord Feng, don't go to other people's camps at this time, everyone is in danger, maybe these Taixi people have their own minds floating, thinking about escaping or how to calculate others, the bullets are all pressed in the gun, once there is any movement, they must be the first to strike, it is impossible to talk to you calmly."

It's us, I think we will run first, otherwise when the reinforcements of the Huaxia Army come, this point of the Taixi coalition army may be crushed to pieces. ”

Feng Quan was right when he thought about it, and immediately said: "Let's go, pull out the camp, farewell, get on the horse, let's run, run in the night, we can't beat the Huaxia army when the time comes, these Taixi people may hand us over and calm the anger of the Huaxia army." I heard that because the negotiations dragged on for too long, the Huaxia Army killed the living prince and Baylor, and the bodies have not all been returned until now, so I don't want to become a prisoner of the Huaxia Army. ”
