The pursuit of the 2nd Battalion ran into trouble.

The leader of the Vietnamese coalition army, Nguyen Bai Ngo, could be called a qualified commander, and found that the general situation had turned, and the Vietnamese allied forces wanted to escape, and there was still some distance from Quang Tri City, but he saw that two enemy teams were rushing towards them (at that time, Liang Sihan's U-turn rescue order had not yet been conveyed), and the battle-hardened Nguyen Bo Nguyen knew that if this continued, the Vietnamese allied forces would definitely suffer heavy losses.

The ruthless Nguyen Bo Yi ordered one of his subordinate generals to lead his more than 300 soldiers to stay behind the broken back to block the enemy army and cover the withdrawal of the large coalition army into Quang Tri City. The Vietnamese general who received the order immediately showed a resolute look on his face and shouted: "I hope the general will take care of my family!" "Gritted his teeth and took the order. Ruan Boyi also showed sadness, nodded in agreement, and then withdrew into the city under the protection of his own soldiers.

These more than 300 Vietnamese soldiers went against the flow of people, took heavy steps, and walked towards the enemy step by step!

However, the strange thing is that there are two enemy forces charging towards them, the enemy army on the left suddenly stopped when it rushed halfway, and then there was a strange turn away, and the team seemed a little flustered, the sensitive Vietnamese generals immediately realized that the enemy army must be in trouble, but unfortunately they only had more than 300 troops, even if they chased the past, it did not have much effect, and more than 1,000 enemy troops on the right were already very close to them.

If Ruan Boyi was still on the battlefield at this time, and as long as there were two or three thousand soldiers in his hands, and at this time he commanded these two or three thousand soldiers to kill the first battalion of the Liang family army on the left, then what changes would occur in the battle situation, and who would have died, it may not be known.

It's a pity that this is only if!

The second battalion of the Liang family army came quickly, and the one who rushed to the front was Huang Qiying, the deputy commander of the second battalion!

Huang Qiying is a martial arts master, and after waiting for a long time, he finally waited for the fighter plane, and immediately led the team to rush towards the enemy. There is nothing wrong with taking the lead, but he made a mistake in the next action!

Huang Qiying, who had already rushed to the front of the enemy, did not let the team stop and used their firepower advantage - shooting! Imagine that their team carried seven or eight hundred rifles, and as long as they fired at the enemy in three sections, how many more than 300 people on the opposite side would remain?

But Huang Qiying only has a big knife in his hand now, and martial arts masters who are used to holding cold weapons generally don't like to use a gun to kill people, because this broken gun can only shoot one bullet, and he must be reloaded before he can shoot again, and he can kill more enemies with a big knife with this kung fu.

When Huang Qiying led the team to charge forty or fifty meters in front of the enemy, the Vietnamese troops on the opposite side suddenly shot at them! Dozens of feathered arrows were also fired at them!

The soldiers of the second battalion who rushed to the front of the team were immediately recruited, but fortunately, the Vietnamese army was only equipped with earthen guns and bird guns, and the Vietnamese army fired a little earlier, but there were still twenty or thirty soldiers of the second battalion who were injured and fell! Even Huang Qiying himself was injured, his left shoulder was hit by the iron sand from the shotgun!

Huang Qiying, who woke up in shock, immediately shouted: "Shoot!" Shoot in three stages! ”

It can be regarded as a well-trained soldier of the second battalion, under the command of each company commander, in the order of usual training, the first, second and third companies aim at the enemy and shoot in turn!

The Vietnamese troops on the opposite side didn't have time to load their bullets, they were already ready to launch a decisive charge, and they were dying to pull a few pads! But then the bullets that came at them shattered their dreams!

The distance is too close, and there is no need to aim, and the range of Liang Jiajun's rifle is much farther than their earthen gun and bird gun, so the Vietnamese soldiers who were shot basically fell to the ground. Soon, the more than 300 Vietnamese soldiers completed their mission with their lives.

The second battalion also stopped the pursuit, and five of the twenty or thirty people who were recruited just now had already swallowed their last breath, and their comrades-in-arms closed their eyes for them. One of the five was shot in the head, three in the chest, and one in the throat with a bow and arrow.

In addition to the five who died, seven of the other twenty-one injured were seriously injured, and whether they survived in the end was entirely up to luck. Fortunately, Liang Jiajun's medical conditions are the best in the army at this time, and Young Master Liang specially borrowed several surgeons from Huang Kuan for this war, and these seriously injured people will definitely be treated in time, but I don't know if they can withstand the bacterial infection.

Looking at these casualties, Huang Qiying's face turned pale, and he couldn't say a word at the moment with deep self-blame in his heart, just now these young men were still charging bravely behind him, they would become like this because of the carelessness of his commander, alas, they are all the bravest soldiers! Only the bravest warriors will charge ahead!

The drums of war are beating urgently, and the warriors are busy killing the enemy;

The remnant sun is like blood, and the general's heart is like iron!

Huang Qiying is not the kind of hard-hearted person, because he missed his deceased ex-wife, he raised the child alone and has not remarried. At this moment, he had secretly vowed to take care of the families of those brothers and do more for them to atone for their sins, and he had already blamed himself for these casualties.

At this point, it is useless to think too much. Huang Qiying squirted out a word from between her teeth: "Withdraw!" ”

For now, let's rescue the wounded first! The medics came on improvised stretchers and carefully carried the wounded and dead away.

Ruan Boyi on the city wall of Quang Tri was still worried that the enemy army would attack the city with artillery just now, and finally slowly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the enemy gradually retreating. At this moment, he suddenly remembered: What about the two-sided attack that he said? Why didn't you see the Janissaries in the royal city of Hue? What he didn't expect was that just now, just after he withdrew into Guangzhi City, he could almost turn the tables!

Today's war has turned a page. This battle proved the powerful power of advanced weapons on the battlefield, and also tested that the Liang family army is still a new army, lacking battlefield experience, if there is no Liang Sihan, a soldier in later generations, the end of this army today may be the annihilation of the whole army! If there is no decisive retreat of Tieqiao San, the Liang family army will definitely suffer heavy losses! As for Huang Qiying's mistakes, it will not affect the overall situation, it is just the price that an army needs to pay to mature!

Grand Master Liang gave the order for the entire army to retreat to their landing site, a coast north of Guangzhi City. Of course, Liang Jiajun would not be in a hurry to withdraw from Vietnam, but the wounded who had undergone emergency treatment must be sent to Huang Kuan in Guangzhou as soon as possible to recuperate, which would be more conducive to their treatment.

The bodies of the 15 brothers who died in the war should also be sent to the Hainan base for burial as soon as possible, although it is December, but the temperature in the south is high, and the remains should not be stored for a long time.

At the same time, Liang Jiajun also needs to receive supplies from the Hainan base here, especially ammunition replenishment.

At this moment, all the personnel of the Liang Jiajun were seeing off the brothers who had been killed or wounded. In fact, according to the customs and conventions of the Qing Dynasty at this time, people like them who entered the dart bureau and the escort team were basically equivalent to the treatment of the army. This battle was fought so big and so fierce, it was indeed beyond the imagination of these recruits, but in such a large-scale war, their new army actually won, and everyone was still quite proud and proud. No one will be surprised by these casualties, after all, the casualties are not large, and they are still acceptable.

Moreover, Grand Master Liang and all the officers saw the timely treatment and careful care of the wounded brothers. Compared with those who no one cared about the wounded soldiers in Vietnam, even the wounded brothers felt that they were already being treated very well.

Liang Sihan announced in front of all the officers and soldiers that Liang Jiajun would build a cemetery and an ancestral hall at the Hainan base, and that people would worship them on all future festivals. For the construction of the cemetery and ancestral hall, he entrusted the remaining two people of the dead engineer squad - Deng Ji, the leader of the second squad of the first company and the first platoon of the engineer battalion, and Wu Xiaotang, the engineer. Of course, these two people were willing to take charge of the aftermath of their comrades-in-arms, and Dungey swore on the spot that he would live up to the trust and handle this matter.

Then, Liang Sihan announced that after the injured brothers recovered from their injuries, they could return to the team, and they would be rewarded with fifty taels of silver for one military merit. If they are disabled and cannot return to the team, Liang Jiajun is responsible for arranging suitable errands for them, so that they can have a stable income, and at the same time, they will also be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver for military merit. If these brothers want to leave the Liang family army after recovering from their injuries, they will be treated the same except for military merits.

As for the brothers who died in battle, in addition to a one-time pension of 200 taels of silver, if they have children, Liang Jiajun is responsible for raising their children until they reach adulthood, and if their parents are in difficulty, Liang Jiajun is also responsible for taking care of them until the end of their old age!

The officers and soldiers of the Liang family below were silent, they were silent because they couldn't believe it, because such a casualty treatment was unique in the Qing Dynasty!

No proprietor dares to make such a promise, which will bring a lot of pressure and a lot of trouble to the proprietor.

Liang Sihan solemnly swore that he would fulfill his promise in his lifetime, if he died and his obligations were not fulfilled, then his son would continue to complete it, unless he Liang Sihan cut off his children and grandchildren!

Hearing Grand Master Liang make such a solemn oath, all the officers and soldiers were moved!

At this moment, Young Master Liang gained the loyalty of these subordinates! Among them is also his master Huang Qiying, because Huang Qiying has secretly sworn to be responsible for the casualties of the second battalion, and at this moment the apprentice has done it for him, in addition to feeling gratified, the apprentice's responsibility also makes him respectful.

Of course, Young Master Liang knew that his promise exceeded the conventions of this era a lot, and such treatment would not be possible to replicate after a large number of army expansions in the future, but there was no way, Liang Jiajun started from scratch, these first brothers who followed him, as the seed troops of his future army expansion, he must win their hearts, must gain their loyalty, form Liang Jiajun's own cohesion, and form the fine tradition of Liang Jiajun.

These brethren are his hope for the future!
