The warships of the Japanese and Dutch were already almost the same, and the previous joint attacks had lost ten warships and more than 3,000 soldiers. And the final landing battle cost both sides nearly 2,000 soldiers.

More than 7,000 people on both sides died in this battle, and Ye Shaolong came with reinforcements. If she continued to fight like this, she would not see any hope of victory.

After killing Ster Haoran, the princess immediately ordered the withdrawal of her troops, and then ordered her subordinates to control all the Dutch warships at the first time.

After that, the horn of retreat sounded on the sea, and the coalition forces that had fought bravely on the shore retreated after a brief period of surprise.

The Yejiabao army was greatly invigorated and began to unite with Li Chengke's cavalry to fight hard. Eventually, the coalition forces finally withdrew safely after leaving behind more than 2,000 corpses.

The whistle of the battleship sounded, and the coalition ship group began to retreat slowly, exiting the port of Tianjin and heading towards the depths of the vast sea!

After a whole day of fighting, it finally ended at this moment. The Yejiabao army finally won the victory, but when the casualties were counted afterwards, Ye Shaolong and Su Can were heartbroken.

10,000 Yejiabao troops participated in this battle, and less than 2,000 people survived in the end, and half of them were painted on their bodies.

Wounded 1,000 enemies and lost 800 self-losses, this battle was simply a draw, if it wasn't for the last moment, Li Cheng could come with the cavalry first, the consequences were really unpredictable.

Lin Biao was also shot in one of his arms and is currently being treated by a military doctor. Su Can also had a lot of color on his body, but fortunately it was only some flesh wounds.

Ye Shaolong continued to shoot, which would make his hands completely paralyzed, and he couldn't even raise his hands. He was completely overwhelmed, and he sat directly on the ground and could no longer stand upright.

After Li Chengke ordered the brothers of the cavalry battalion to save the dead and help the wounded, he hurried to Ye Shaolong's side: "Dashuai, are you okay?" ”

Ye Shaolong was panting heavily, he had been nervous for nearly a day, and at this moment he had completely collapsed, shook his head and said, "It's okay, let people go out to sea by boat immediately, and see if the enemy army retreats, or leaves temporarily!" ”

Li Chengke bowed slightly, and immediately took the order to go and make arrangements.

Su Can walked over with a limp at this time, sat beside Ye Shaolong, and scolded and said, "Grandma, these devils deserve to die!" ”

Ye Shaolong lay on the ground weakly, looking at the afterglow of dusk and said with a wry smile: "What the hell, we can only blame us for not being strong enough, otherwise it will be their turn to show off their power here." ”

Su Can was stunned when he heard this, slammed his fist on the ground, and said viciously: "It's time to take the initiative, we have been recuperating for so long, shouldn't we attack more territory?" ”

Ye Shaolong did not refute Su Can, indeed, Yejiabao has now developed to a bottleneck. If you don't expand your territory, you will always be beaten passively like this.

In the past, he was afraid that his rapid rise would provoke the siege of other forces, but now this concern can be completely thrown away. After all, the Seven-Nation Alliance is coming, do you still have to worry about this?

The answer is obviously no, Ye Shaolong turned his head to look at Su Can, and said firmly: "Indeed, we can't be passive like this anymore, let the soldiers have a good rest, after this battle, it is time for us to take the initiative!" ”

Ye Shaolong, Su Can, and Lin Biao were carried away on stretchers, and when they left, they looked at the dock that had completely turned into ruins, and the three of them had tears in their eyes.

There are dense corpses floating on the coast, most of them foreign soldiers. On the shore, the vast majority of the Yejiabao army was the Yejiabao army, and the Yejiabao army suffered more than 8,000 casualties in this battle, which was even greater than the loss in the last battle of the capital.

The strength at sea is weak, this is Ye Shaolong's weakness, and it is also a defect that cannot be made up for a while. At this moment, Ye Shaolong finally understood a little why the sea had been banned since the Ming Dynasty.

If he wants to avoid facing such a serious problem again, perhaps Ye Shaolong should temporarily close Tianjin Port to prevent such a thing from happening again.

That night, all the Yejiabao troops were busy with post-war affairs, and everyone was silent in pain. A full 8,000 corpses were neatly placed outside Tianjin.

After dawn, Ye Shaolong supported his tired body and rode outside the city, after holding a simple ceremony. began to bury all the corpses of the Yejiabao army.

The late 30,000 infantry reinforcements arrived in the morning, and when Xiao Dashan saw the dense corpses lying on the ground, he fell to his knees in pain and remorse.

The Yejiabao army, which had 30,000 reinforcements, also followed him and all knelt down, and the scene of tens of thousands of people was so quiet that it was audible to drop a needle.

Ye Shaolong rode past Xiao Dashan on horseback, but he didn't look at any of them. Xiao Dashan is a big man, a seven-foot man, but this will be so regretful that he burst into tears.

Suddenly, Xiao Dashan was behind Ye Shaolong, and he knocked his head three times in a row, and cried bitterly: "Dashan should die, he didn't arrive in time, so that the brothers of Yejiabao sacrificed so much." I deserve death for my mountain sins! ”

Ye Shaolong stopped when he heard this, there was no expression on his indifferent face, his sharp gaze was projected on Xiao Dashan's body, and he said coldly: "You really deserve to die, from today onwards, remove all your official positions, and start all over again from the most ordinary soldier in the army." ”

In the face of such a severe punishment, Xiao Dashan was not the slightest dissatisfied, but looked at Ye Shaolong gratefully: "Thank you for the grace of not killing!" ”

Ye Shaolong didn't appreciate it at all, and still said coldly: "The capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, come here, in front of the eight thousand soldiers who sacrificed for Yejiabao, severely punish Xiao Dashan with twenty military sticks." All the generals who came late were demoted by one level as a warning! ”

"Yes!"

Without saying a word, the four guards rushed up and knocked Xiao Dashan down, and then fought with a bang!

Ye Shaolong didn't take a look, and turned straight away.

Xiao Dashan's mistakes this time can be big or small, but someone will always pay the price. Xiao Dashan is a good role model, and it is only fitting to use him as a warning to all soldiers.

Li Chengke kept opening his mouth to intercede for Xiao Dashan, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth. It wasn't until Xiao Dashan was beaten with a military stick that he finally reluctantly followed behind Ye Shaolong and left.

"Smack! Syllable! Smack......"

These twenty sticks were beaten in front of everyone, and everyone's face was uncertain.

The military stick was hit on Xiao Dashan's body, but everyone present understood that it was like hitting them in the heart!

Back in the city, Ye Shaolong asked Li Chengke if the person he sent out to inquire about the enemy's situation yesterday had returned.

Li Chengke said: "The enemy troops have retreated and have not stayed in the open sea. ”

Such a result was very unexpected, and Ye Shaolong was also puzzled in his heart, the coalition army actually retreated like this, and he didn't understand what was going on here?
