Chapter 479: Chase and Fight
When the tower was bandaging the wound, he poured a few pots of water, and his hoarse throat would have recovered as before. The thunderous slogans suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield.
The cavalry battalion of 5,000 men and horses, besieged by the enemy, killed and wounded 2,000 people, this will only be about 3,000 men and horses, and they will be drunk by the iron tower, and immediately gather around him!
The 20,000 troops of the Seven-Nation Alliance have completely fled, and the time has come for the Yejiabao cavalry battalion to take revenge.
All the soldiers of the cavalry battalion responded to the call of the iron tower, completed the assembly at a very fast speed, and then set up a formation to bite the enemy and start a happy fight.
When Li Chengke began to order the whole army not to chase and kill the enemy, and to clean up the battlefield and withdraw to the city as soon as possible, he learned that the iron tower actually led the cavalry battalion to chase and kill the enemy without authorization.
Li Chengke was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died on the spot, and this iron tower had completely ignored him, the commander of the whole army. didn't take care of the whole situation, and still only cared about his own happiness.
The 5,000 cavalry had already lost 2,000, and only 3,000 cavalry remained, most of them were wounded. They had been besieged for a long time, and they would have been tired of the horses.
If there is an ambush behind the enemy, the tower will definitely cause an irreparable situation.
Li Chengke, who was so angry, had to hand over the rest of the matter to the deputy general, and he himself took dozens of personal guards and ran all the way to chase them after the tower.
They would indeed be very happy at the Tower, and since the defeat of the enemy, they have pursued them all the way, and have met almost no resistance.
The Seven-Nation Alliance, as expected, was jointly sent by the Seven Nations, and the 20,000 people were actually composed of the troops jointly sent by the Seven Nations.
There are big loopholes in their command, and after they are defeated at this moment, they fight on their own, regardless of the life and death of others.
One by one, they just want to escape back as soon as possible, and for those friendly soldiers who are slow to run behind and are being chased and killed, they don't even look back, let alone ask them to go back to the rescue, which is simply impossible.
Therefore, they did not encounter any resistance at all, and this also made him, who was red-eyed, unknowingly chased out for nearly ten miles.
The distance of about ten miles is already the boundary of Zhangjiakou, that is, the location of the main force that entered the Seven Nations Alliance.
Li Chengke chased all the way along the dead bodies all over the ground, and after running wildly, he finally saw the figure of the tower from a distance.
In a hurry, whether they could hear the tower or not, he had already begun to shout incessantly.
It's a pity that the distance is still too far, and the tower doesn't notice Li Cheng behind him at all.
Seeing that the cavalry battalion was about to step into the territory of Zhangjiakou, Li Chengke simply urged the horse to gallop alone. The war horses under his crotch are much better than other people's war horses, and in order to stop the iron tower as soon as possible, Li Cheng has to leave dozens of guards.
A BMW is a BMW, and this leg ran wildly, like lightning, and Susuo caught up with the cavalry battalion.
Li Chengke's arrival made the soldiers of the cavalry battalion come back to their senses in an instant, and under his order, more and more people began to stop.
Until the end, only the tower was left alone and still chasing and killing, and Li Chengke finally caught the attention of the tower with a loud roar. The moment he turned around, Li Chengke had already chased after him and grabbed the reins of his horse.
The tower obviously hasn't fully recovered yet, and his eyes are red, and he is still full of murderous energy.
Li Chengke was originally full of anger, but the moment he saw the expression of the iron tower, the anger in his stomach couldn't be released.
"Now go back with me immediately, the front is already the boundary of Zhangjiajie, and the main force of the Seven Nations Alliance is there!" Li Chengke suppressed the anger in his stomach and said lightly.
After the tower was slightly stunned, his eyes gradually returned to clarity, and he looked at the enemy army who had fled to only a shadow. Looking at the cavalry battalion brothers behind him who had stopped to pay attention to him, he finally nodded and walked back with Li Chengke.
When they returned to the previous battlefield, it was almost dusk.
The places that the Seven-Nation Coalition had been busy clearing for most of the day, as well as the temporary camps they had set up, were completely destroyed.
The Yejiabao army has destroyed all the enemy buildings, and the enemy's artillery, guns, and all the weapons left behind have also been picked up.
Leaving only the corpse of the enemy on the battlefield, after preliminary statistics, the enemy's casualties this time were definitely more than 10,000. In other words, only a few thousand people have fled.
However, the Yejiapu army also suffered a lot of losses, and the 2,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion and the musket battalion that was later reinforced also suffered more than 2,000 casualties in the chaos.
Four thousand against 10,000 should have been said to be a complete victory, but for the Yejiabao army, it was the same as injuring the enemy by 1,000 and losing 800.
It was not a victory at all, and the only good thing was the weapons and some scattered materials obtained after the war.
The gate of the capital was opened, and all the soldiers who stayed behind went out of the city to welcome Li Chengke, and the tower returned to the city. The faces of the soldiers were somewhat filled with joy, after all, no matter how they said that, they finally repelled the enemy without danger.
Perhaps another gain is to boost morale, and the victory in the first battle can be regarded as a good start for all the soldiers. Not as before, the whole army is shrouded in strong pressure.
The siege of the capital was temporarily confessed, and Li Chengke sent a messenger to inform Ye Shaolong of Yejiabao as soon as possible. And before that, he had hesitated for a long time, and he didn't know whether to inform Ye Shaolong about the tower's disobedience to the general's orders and his private actions?
After hesitating for a long time, in the end, for the sake of the stability of the army's morale, Li Chengke still hid it for the iron tower.
After that, Li Chengke began to inspect the whole city, urging the soldiers of the city to be vigilant at all times, guarding against the main force of the Seven Nations Alliance that might arrive at any time.
The messenger sent the letter to Yejiabao overnight, and it was already late at night when he arrived. Ye Shaolong was resting, and was woken up in the middle of the night, and he was also relieved to learn that the first battle in the capital had been won.
Although the Yejiabao army suffered more than 4,000 casualties in the first battle, it was finally victorious. Encouraged by this victory in the first battle, the morale of the soldiers should be greatly boosted, and it will be a good start for the next real battle.
What made Ye Shaolong strange was that in Tianjin City, a day passed, and he didn't see any navy of the Seven Nations Alliance at all. Tianjin City is still surprisingly calm.
Combined with the fact that the main force of the Zhangjiakou Seven-Nation Alliance has stopped, it seems that there is some conspiracy here?
Ye Shaolong still knew too little, and just relying on what he knew so far, he couldn't deduce what the Seven Nation Alliance was up to.
Since there was no way to know the next move of the Seven Nations Alliance, Ye Shaolong could only give an order to let the cities be on guard, and there was no other way.
