In this attack, Sun Chengzong, who was cautious and bold, once again sent a regiment of musketeers.

The only difference is that this musket regiment was only divided into three during the attack, with the battalion as a unit, hugging each other tightly, and slowly advancing towards the city, so as to avoid being attacked, there was no strength and opportunity to counterattack......"

Not to mention, the three musket battalions that were grouped together were not attacked until they were a mile away from the city.

Obviously, the rebels scattered in the city were full of scruples about the Hug Par Army.

However, as the three musket battalions continued to move forward, the rebels who were lying in ambush on both sides of the street finally couldn't bear it......

A steady stream of smoke-emitting grenades flew out of the houses on both sides of the street, smashing into the dense crowd of musketeers and exploding......

Of course, along with the grenades, there were also very hot lead bullets......

In the blink of an eye, one of the musket battalions that was attacked lost more than 100.

However, the remaining musketeers were not vegetarians either. Quickly under the command of the respective company platoon commanders, a counterattack was carried out.

Smoke-emitting grenades, scorching buckshots, quickly flew to both sides of the street, hiding the houses of the rebels......

Soon, the houses became quiet...... When the Haw Par Army broke through the door, more than 30 corpses of rebellious soldiers in various postures appeared directly in front of the Haw Par Army.

As for the corpses of these rebels, there were still some unused grenades and damaged muskets scattered around......

The rebels who attacked themselves were eliminated, however, the leader of the battalion in the face. But I couldn't see a smile in sight.

Because. Thirty-six rebels were killed in battle. It brought heavy casualties to more than 130 soldiers under his command.

If this kind of casualties continues, at most three sneak attacks, one of your own battalions will be completely lost......

Thinking of this, thinking of the regiment commander's explanation before departure, although the battalion commander's heart was full of unwillingness. However, the order to retreat was still given without hesitation.

Although used during the retreat, the entire musket battalion was again attacked.

But. Because he had been prepared for a long time, the losses of the two attacks did not exceed 100 people in full battle. Of course, the losses of the rebels were not so great, and they were wiped out no more than 70 people......

In less than half an hour, the three musket battalions withdrew from the county seat of Dingbian one after another.

There is no doubt that under the ubiquitous blows of the rebels, the three musket battalions all paid more than one musket company casualties.

When Sun Chengzong learned about the entire battle process from the mouths of the three battalion commanders, Zhang Zhongming's tactical tactics. It immediately became a picture and appeared in Sun Chengzong's mind.

This time. Even if Zhang Zhongming was his opponent, Sun Chengzong's face couldn't help but show an expression full of admiration.

At this time, several military staff officers who were discussing Zhang Zhongming's tactics suddenly entered Sun Chengzong's field of vision.

As the chief of staff of the Haw Par Army, Sun Chengzong knows very well that many times, these seemingly young staff officers will think of some tactical tactics that they can't even think of......

So, Sun Chengzong, who had a glimmer of hope, asked several staff officers directly......

"As for the enemy's tactical tactics, do you staff officers have any specific ways to crack them......

One of them, who was a little older, knew at a glance that the staff officer who had a certain amount of combat experience quickly stood up and replied: "Commander, we have only one way to think of it...... That is to open the way with artillery fire, to open the way through guò shelling, and to destroy all the houses and buildings that the rebels used to hide......"

Regarding this method that he thought of at the first time, Sun Chengzong directly shook his head and denied: "No, if you want to destroy the entire Dingbian County, how many flowering bombs will be needed...... It's too costly......"

"Besides, there are still more than 700 of our prisoners in the hands of the rebels, and they opened the way with artillery fire, didn't they force more than 700 prisoners to their deaths......"

Faced with the quickly gloomy expression on the staff officer's face, Sun Chengzong knew that before there was a concrete solution, he could only give in to the other party and negotiate with the other party......

Of course, negotiations are negotiations, and Sun Chengzong, who has not lost his mind, no matter how much he compromises, it is impossible to let these rebellious soldiers leave Shaanxi and let the tigers return to the mountains......

For the safety of more than 700 prisoners, and in order to buy more time for himself, he thought about specific ways to attack and break the enemy.

Sun Chengzong had to accept the conditions of withdrawing ten miles and giving the rebels a large amount of grain.

In Dingbian County, after listening to the results of the negotiations brought back by the messenger, Zhang Zhongming's facial expression was solemn for several hours, and finally relaxed.

In particular, the news that the Tiger and Leopard Army that surrounded her had fulfilled their promise and began to retreat, and left a large amount of food for themselves, really reached Zhang Zhongming's ears, and Zhang Zhongming's face was directly covered with a thick smile.

However, this smile did not last long, and it was calm again.

It is not without cost that the Haw Par Army retreated for ten days and gave itself ten days of food and grass......

In exchange, eight days later, he had to send all the more than 700 Hubao Army captives in his hands out of Dingbian County and return them to the Hubao Army.

In this way, ten days later, the county town of Dingbian where he is located will be destroyed by the tiger and leopard army.

When the time comes, the Haw Par Army, which has already suffered a loss, will definitely not suffer a second loss...... As long as there is no accident, he and his soldiers at that time will face a catastrophe......

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongming couldn't help but let out a shout in his heart......

"No, I can't die here...... As long as you escape back to Dingbian County, you will still have a chance to ......"

In retrospect, it's very difficult to actually do that......

Although the Haw Par Army retreated for ten miles...... However, a distance of ten miles is a blink of an eye for cavalry.

Once he left Dingbian County, he bumped into the Tiger and Leopard Army in the wild. No matter how many grenades and muskets you have, you can't defeat them.

And this is also the specific reason why more than ten days ago, in the face of the pursuit of a cavalry regiment of the Tiger and Leopard Army, he had to stay in Dingbian County to avoid fighting with the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army in the field......

So, even if you want to run for your life, you have to run for your life secretly.

In any case, the Haw Par Army must not be able to find out...... Even if you can keep it a secret for half an hour......

As a result, Zhang Zhongming, whose face had just recovered his calmness, fell into contemplation again.

At this moment, what he was thinking about was no longer how to use the Dingbian county under his feet to block the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army...... It's how to use the ten days that I have won with great difficulty to think of a good way to get out of Dingbian County......

As for the more than 5,000 elites under his command, Zhang Zhongming, who has given up twice, has completely ignored it. (To be continued......)
