Chapter 487: Breaking Each

As soon as the Yejiabao army moved, Ye Shaolong, who was on the city tower, immediately saw that the enemy army had also moved. The stakes were placed a hundred meters in front of the position.

Thousands of musketeers lined up and defended. Seeing the enemy army so methodical, Ye Shaolong suddenly frowned.

"It seems that the enemy army is not completely incapacitated, and they were underestimated before." Ye Shaolong muttered to himself with emotion.

Tie Ta replied disdainfully behind him: "Young master, don't be presumptuous, although the foreign army is very strong, there is still a certain gap between it and our Yejiabao army." They are still powerful with those firearms, if it is a real knife and a real gun, it is not a problem for one Yejiabao army to do both of them. ”

Ye Shaolong smiled when he heard this, he didn't go to argue with the tower. After all, the tower is telling the truth, which is the key to why the Qing soldiers have repeatedly been defeated by foreigners.

The technology of the foreigners is powerful, at least at the moment ahead of the Qing Dynasty, people use muskets, but the Qing Dynasty's military is still stuck in cold weapons, and the gap between the two sides is not a little bit.

And Yejiabao is not as usual now, especially after receiving funding from the Dutch, now it is necessary to grab guns and people.

It can be said that the firearms of foreigners are no longer an advantage, and what everyone is fighting now is the courage of their own soldiers and the strategies of the generals of various armies.

During the chat, I saw that the cavalry of the Yejiabao army was about to rush into the range of the enemy's muskets. The general of the enemy army looked nervous, and his eyes never left the cavalry battalion of the Yejiabao army.

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, and when it was almost 100 meters, the command flag in the hands of the enemy officers was already raised high.

However, at this moment, the two generals of the cavalry battalion each took half of their men, bypassed the enemy's musket position, and continued to rush forward from both sides.

The change came so suddenly that the enemy's musketeers apparently failed to react. Obviously, the Yejiabao army rushed forward with great momentum, and had the courage to fight to the end.

However, it made a detour at a critical moment, which was equivalent to completely disrupting the layout of the enemy army. They had already placed seventy percent of their forces in front of the position, and they simply did not have time to defend the position in the rear.

Sure enough, the Yejiabao army directly bypassed the main force of the enemy army and began to attack from the rear. Each cavalryman was armed with a musket, and although each man could only shoot one, five thousand men also had five thousand shots.

In an instant, the enemy's rear positions were constantly fired, and the screams were even louder, and it seemed that they could be captured at any time.

Fortunately, the Yejiabao army didn't seem to have the intention of fighting, so each of them fired a shot, and then rushed away.

But even so, there were three or four hundred casualties in the rear positions of the enemy army, and this was only for a moment.

Ye Shaolong, who was on the city tower, put down his binoculars, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "Good fight!" ”

Tie Ta was very disdainful: "It's a pity, when I killed the enemy's rear position just now, I should have rushed directly into it, it can definitely make the enemy chaotic, and it is more than enough to double the lethality." ”

Ye Shaolong snorted coldly and said, "So, today, you can only lie here, and you can't go to the battlefield." ”

The tower was speechless for a moment, indeed, according to his previous style, he must have rushed straight in. However, it was his style that eventually caused him to be shot in the thigh.

Now I can only lie here and talk to Ye Shaolong!

Ye Shaolong shook his head helplessly, and sighed lightly: "Have a longer memory, don't think that you are unscrupulous if you are strong, sometimes force can indeed sweep everything, but that is when you can crush everything." Before your strength reaches this stage, you should use your brain more and be less ambitious. ”

"Got it, young master!" Although Tie Ta knew in his heart that he was impulsive before, he still couldn't turn his mouth around at the moment.

Ye Shaolong also knew that it would be impossible for the tower to change in a while.

On the battlefield, the Yejiabao army has returned, and the enemy army is still busy saving the dead and helping the wounded. was messed up like this by the Yejiabao army, and the stability just now was completely messed up.

After the cavalry battalion returned to the city, it was still on standby, and began to load the ammunition of the muskets, as long as Ye Shaolong gave an order, they could attack again.

The confusion of the enemy forces lasted only a moment, and soon they began to camp again, but this time they were clearly more vigilant.

After Ye Shaolong observed carefully, he felt that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so he ordered the cavalry battalion to rest first.

Then he began to care about the two cities that Su Can was guarding, and learned that Su Can did not take the initiative to attack according to his orders, but still guarded the city.

In this regard, Ye Shaolong was also a lot more relieved, however, the situation in Beicheng was not optimistic, and a herald came to report. When Li Chengke sent troops to sneak attack, he was bitten by the enemy, and the two armies are now in a stalemate.

Ye Shaolong was very surprised to hear such news, according to his judgment, the enemy army was 20,000 troops except for Dongcheng, and the rest of the place was 20,000.

And Li Cheng had a full 30,000 troops, but he was still entangled by the enemy's 20,000 troops. There's clearly something wrong with this? After Ye Shaolong thought about it for a while, he handed over the defense of the East City to the Iron Tower, and he personally rushed to the North City to find out.

When he arrived in Beicheng, Li Chengke himself was no longer on the city tower, and there were only about 5,000 soldiers left to defend the city. All the rest are in battle!

Ye Shaolong looked up and saw that five miles away from Beicheng, the sound of guns and cannons was endless, and the billowing smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, and he couldn't see what was going on the battlefield at all.

Ye Shaolong, who was frowning, immediately called the generals who stayed behind to question, and only then did he understand what had happened.

It turned out that Li Chengke also acted according to Ye Shaolong's request at the beginning, not allowing the enemy army to camp outside the city with peace of mind. The 5,000 cavalry sent out to constantly harass the enemy army, and it was very smooth.

But at some point, 10,000 cavalry suddenly rushed out from the enemy's side, and directly surrounded the 5,000 cavalry of Yejiabao. Seeing that Yejiabao was under siege, Li Cheng did not dare to slack off, and immediately personally took 10,000 musket battalion soldiers to the rescue.

However, the enemy army seemed to have premeditated, and immediately pressed the whole army and fought with Li Chengke.

The generals who stayed in the city saw that Li Cheng could fight with the enemy army, and they took 10,000 troops out of the city to join the melee.

Ye Shaolong learned the whole story, and immediately scolded Li Cheng for messing around. Actually fought in person!

As the commander of the whole army, he did not stay to command, but went to the battlefield in person, which led to such passivity now.

Ye Shaolong picked up the binoculars and carefully observed the battlefield, and found that after the two sides entered the melee, they seemed to be evenly divided, and he felt that he would not be able to tell the difference between winning and losing for a while.

After a short period of consideration, Ye Shaolong ordered that all the remaining 5,000 defenders in Beicheng go out of the city to participate in the battle.
