Eighty-five soldiers of the New Army were killed and more than 90 wounded, 35 of whom were disabled, and could no longer participate in the fighting. What is surprising is that Lu Qi, the current chief instructor, has not even broken his skin at this time except for lying on the ground all night.

The soldiers who were carrying the corpses and the wounded on the side all looked at the chief instructor coldly at this time, he was not injured at all when he was attacked last night, but he did not intend to come out to direct the troops to resist the attack of the brutes, but instead lay on the ground and pretended to be dead with the camouflage uniform he was wearing, and pretended to be dead all night. If it weren't for Qian Longzhou coming out in time to command the new army to counterattack, not to mention whether the new army that was attacked at night could win, maybe the princess would have been plundered.

More than 90 barbarians were killed that night, mainly at the entrance to the camp, and when they fled, most of the soldiers of the new army had night blindness, and once they left the distance of the torches, they could not see anything, so the rout of the barbarians was not pursued.

The princess sat down in the tent with her head down, but Lucci did not appear at all, and when he heard that, he found a horse and rode north back to the port of the East. Qian Longzhou sat at the bottom of the handsome tent and looked at the princess, at this time, the princess in front of her completely lost the heroic and ambitious appearance of yesterday, and her hair was messy and she sat in the handsome tent in a daze. She now finally knows what Qian Longzhou's opposition at the beginning means, although this group of new army soldiers has sharp weapons and has undergone training, they are theoretically invincible, but the problem is that they lack combat experience, and they don't know how the enemy will attack, and they don't know how to defend. Including the design of the camp gate, it was still set up by a few non-commissioned officers under the secret guidance of Qian Longzhou, fortunately, this entrance delayed the time of the barbarian assault, otherwise I am afraid that at most two rows of salvos will be bullied by the barbarians to start a white-edged battle, if the white-knuckle battle is launched before the barbarians are not shocked, then the development of the battle situation will be completely unpredictable.

Thinking of this, the princess couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and rashly changed the generals, changed the training plan, and interfered with the systematic command steps...... She made a lot of mistakes in this series, and even ran to this battlefield to see the excitement with her own risk, if it wasn't for the blind cat touching the dead mouse in yesterday's battle and meeting the money dragon boat that also secretly followed, I'm afraid that even herself would have been plundered by the barbarians.

"Instructor Qian, what should we do now?" The princess also spoke in a much lower voice at this time, "Are we going to continue to go south now?" ”

"To the south?" Qian Longzhou smiled helplessly, "Her Royal Highness the princess hasn't read the loss report yet, right?" ”

The princess hurriedly shook her head, she had been so frightened that she had been a few beats slower to react since she saw the battle last night, and she hadn't read the battle report sent to the handsome tent at all.

"We have suffered a total of 1780 dead and wounded, of whom only more than 50 have been able to resume fighting, and more than half of our total 315 soldiers have been lost. It was nothing that the soldiers could not see the battle situation clearly at night, but after dawn the soldiers were aware of the losses, and naturally their morale had fallen very seriously, and if we drove the soldiers to continue southward now, I am afraid that we would not be able to go ten miles, and at least more than 100 people would have to run away. ”

Seeing that the princess's eyes were a little dazed, Qian Longzhou continued, "The torches thrown in by those brutes last night ignited the propellant carried by many soldiers, and the loss of ammunition was very serious. By the way, at least twenty rifles and twenty-two spears and three cavalry knives were lost during the battle at the time of the weapons inventory. The soldiers in charge of clearing also found two spears at the edge of the jungle, so they must have been taken by some of the brutes. ”

"Then will they hit us with rifles?" The princess was very worried that such militaristic weapons had fallen into the hands of the brutes, and she had clearly seen the great power they had exerted in the battle yesterday, and if the brutes had used them against themselves, the new army would surely have suffered great losses.

"It won't be." Qian Longzhou replied very simply. "The propellant used in our rifles is something that these brutes can't figure out, and even if they can figure out the composition of the propellant and make it themselves, the fire cap can't figure it out. Don't worry about this, the main thing is to worry that these escaped brutes will run back. In yesterday's battle, we killed more than 300 enemies, but they came to attack us that night, and these enemies had a very strong sense of fighting. Since the losses are so great, it is inevitable that a large army will be sent to besiege us, and I am afraid that we must be prepared to encounter a large army of barbarians at the port of Champa. ”

The princess's face turned pale at this time, she thought that after this big victory, she would be able to take advantage of the victory to pursue, at least drive the barbarian forces away from Annan, who knew that because of the delay yesterday, after losing more than a hundred people and a large amount of ammunition, she had no ability to attack, and she actually had to retreat at this time. Although this sortie wiped out nearly 500 Nanban soldiers and only lost more than 100 people, which was already an incredible victory for an ordinary Annan army, it was a heartbreaking blow to this new army, which was originally only 500 people. What's more, after retreating at this time, because of the recent defeat, the Nanban will inevitably gather several large armies to take revenge, so that the old army of less than 500 in Zhanchenggang and the new army with only more than 300 left will inevitably be severely tested.

"Alright then, let's retreat, where do we go first?" The princess decided, even if it was to defend the city, with the Oriental Port behind it, these guys from the Senate would definitely not sit idly by and watch such an ally as themselves be beaten by the Nanban and be indifferent.

"Retreat is not a turn of the way to go......," Qian Longzhou smiled, "First of all, we must explain to the soldiers why we want to retreat, and then we must make a retreat plan, and we must ensure that if we encounter the enemy again along the way, how to defend, the baggage troops must walk in the front, and the combat troops will walk in the rear, and when the enemy pursues, you need to have a battle plan, and how to fight under what conditions must be considered in advance." Otherwise, once the brute army behind catches up, the retreat will turn into a rout, and once the army evolves into a rout, then everyone will leave the most vulnerable back to the enemy's butcher's knife. ”

The princess never imagined that even the retreat of the army had a special plan, let alone a battle plan. In her impression, isn't it always the soldiers who come to block the water and cover the earth? If you want to talk about baggage, that is, what soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first? But after yesterday's surprise attack at night due to her interference, she was now full of trust in the commissioners of the Senate, and now that Qian Longzhou had proposed it, she had fully accepted it.

Qian Longzhou was not ambiguous, and took a few non-commissioned officers to toss in the marshal's tent for a few hours, and came up with a retreat plan. Again, the baggage troops go first, and the combat units are divided into three parts, the forward in the middle of the march explores the way in front to prevent being ambushed, the middle unit is responsible for covering the baggage company, and the rear guard unit is at the rear. Once the pursuers are encountered, the forward troops will stay where they are, and the other two troops will retreat to the place where the forward troops are located, so that the pursuers can be effectively blocked, and the troops behind the palace will not feel abandoned and collapse.

…………………………

Hatano Hideyoshi was full of expectations at this time, since yesterday evening, a group of giant beast cavalry of the barbarian army suddenly appeared from the north, it looked like it was defeated, and it was defeated very badly, many giant beasts and knights still had terrible big wounds on their bodies, and even the giant beasts suddenly fell to death while running, and the cavalry on their bodies fell down a large area, and crushed several to death.

Soon quite a few of the brutes began to pack up their loot and their equipment, and fled with the newly defeated brutes. Even though there were many barbarians who did not escape, their eyes were full of horror at this time, probably because they did not dare to run without the orders of the little leaders.

At dawn today, dozens of brutes limped from the north, either holding each other or using branches as crutches. They had no expectation of stopping at Wenshan Port, but directly rested in the surrounding camp outside and continued south. Almost every one of these brutes was wounded, and some even had terrible large wounds on their bodies. The arrival of these remnants of the defeated soldiers finally shook the belief of the besieging barbarians, who gathered their belongings and retreated south with the wounded soldiers.

When Yingji saw this, he knew that the reinforcements from the north must have won a big victory, and he sent a number of barbarians who fled back, but only a few dozen people, and I heard Ruan Xingyue, who was sent to persuade him to surrender, said that there were about five hundred barbarians who were sent north to intercept the Wang Division, and at this time they only fled back with dozens of people, so at least about four hundred barbarians were killed, so didn't the Wang Division have at least fifty or sixty thousand people? This made him a little excited, at least the siege of Wenshan Port should be coming to an end.

Yesterday night, one of his units of Japanese soldiers attacked the dam upstream of the river, and the supply of fresh water has been restored. At this time, all the barbarians withdrew, and Wenshan Port could be regarded as the siege was lifted. He hurriedly sent a group of more than ten Tang Horses to investigate everywhere to see where this Wang Shi had arrived now.

"My lord! Traces of a battle were found to the north. "When it was dark, a Tangma who came back from the north reported to Inghi." There are also traces of camping, which looks like there should be less than 1,000 people. There was a large burial pit outside the camp, and we counted it at first, and it should be more than 300 people, but after opening the pit according to the small ones, we found that all the people buried inside were brutes, and all of them had their heads cut off. ”
