Forty or fifty of his subordinates scattered around the Haw Par Army caused almost one platoon of casualties to the Haw Par Army in a short period of time.

However, of these forty or fifty subordinates, less than five of them finally escaped the counterattack of the Tiger and Leopard Army......

His subordinates who were hiding in the shadows actually paid more casualties than the Haw Par Army......

Faced with this ending, Zhang Zhongming couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is the end of training that is not as good as the other party and the equipment is not as good as the other party......"

"Hopefully, after this battle, we will have enough equipment captured on the battlefield to equip our 10,000 new troops...... If we didn't have some troops in our hands, we would all be defeated by the Haw Par Army sooner or later......"

At this time, an exclamation full of despair was suddenly shouted out by Huang Yongzhong......

"My lord, the battlefield has changed again...... Brothers, brothers basically have no ...... to retreat safely"

When Zhang Zhongming set his sights on the battlefield again, the Haw Par Army, which was in the open, actually grasped the initiative on the battlefield......

With the advantage of equipment, in the process of continuing to break into the city, as long as there is the slightest suspicious place, it will be baptized by the double baptism of grenades and flowering bullets of the Haw Par Army......

Since then, there have been very few people who can continue to attack the Tiger and Par Army.

What's more, these few sneak attackers have just launched an attack on the Haw Par Army, revealing their figures......

Hand grenades and flowering bullets equipped by the Haw Par Army...... It's like you don't want money, and you fly to them......

Looking at it, several other attacking units of the Haw Par Army are also fighting. Slowly grasp the initiative on the battlefield......

During the offensive. It doesn't matter if there is a new army lurking in front of you. Up there is a pass of flowering bombs and grenades......

As a result, the casualties of the officers and soldiers under his command continued to rise like a straight line...... The casualties of the Haw Par Army's attacking forces are becoming less and less......

"This is the embodiment of strength, in the face of real strength, any conspiracy and trickery will be trampled to pieces......" Zhang Zhongming, who was staring at the battlefield with a pair of eyes, subconsciously opened his mouth and sighed......"

In the face of battlefield changes. Zhang Zhongming can still maintain a minimum of composure...... However, Huang Yongzhong, the deputy general next to him, does not have such good patience.

Looking at the Tiger and Leopard Army as the battlefield continued to advance towards the center of the city, Huang Yongzhong couldn't help but shout: "My lord, the firepower of the Tiger and Par Army is so fierce that the brothers can't hide at all...... What do we do next...... Do you just watch your brothers being killed......"

At this time, Zhang Zhongming spoke, and his words were full of helplessness......

"If you can't hide, you have to hide...... We can see the battlefield, and so can the Haw Par Army...... I can say for sure that as long as our brothers, who are scattered in the city, begin to retreat. Expose your position...... The artillery fire of the Haw Par Army will be like a hungry wolf that smells blood. Destroy them with artillery fire as soon as possible......"

"Besides, even if we withdraw the remaining troops from the city...... In broad daylight, it is impossible to break out of Xining City, and when the time comes, it will have to fight hard-to-head with the Tiger and Leopard Army...... When the time comes, we will be more likely to be wiped out by the Haw Par Army......"

"So, now we have only one way, and that is to delay, until dark, until the Haw Par Army has to withdraw from Xining City...... As long as it gets dark, we can gather the remnants and withdraw from Xining City under the cover of night......"

After Zhang Zhongming finished speaking, Huang Yongzhong was silent......

In the face of the facts, he could only watch the warriors under his command, exchanging two, or even three lives, for one life of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

As for Zhang Zhongming beside him, although his face was a lot more dignified. However, I am still very confident in my own judgment.

He believed that as long as the soldiers under his command held on for more than half an hour, they would hold out until dark...... The Haw Par Army that enters the city will take the initiative to retreat.

As for the specific reasons, there are two ......

On the battlefield, even if two or even three Ganning New Army are exchanged for one Haw Par Army, more than 4,000 Ganning New Army soldiers died on the battlefield, and one regiment of the Haw Par Army can be taken away......

For themselves, the loss of more than four thousand people is nothing at all? As long as you want, you can expand your army by four or five thousand people at will.

However, for the well-trained and well-equipped Haw Par Army, the loss of a regiment can already be called a wound......

Therefore, in the face of unprecedented heavy losses, the first to bear it must be the Haw Par Army.

As for the second reason, it's simpler......

In broad daylight, the Ganning New Army hiding in the shadows can inflict such huge casualties on the Haw Par Army, let alone at night when they can't see their fingers......

As long as Sun Chengzong, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Army, still has a little sense, he will not choose to fight at night......

Therefore, as long as it is dark, the Haw Par Army that enters the city will inevitably retreat......

As time passed little by little, Zhang Zhongming and Huang Yongzhong finally darkened after watching more than 4,000 soldiers under their command all die in the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Not to Zhang Zhongming's surprise, in order to avoid a possible attack by Ganning's new army in the night, even though the nine musket battalions had already broken through to the center of the city. You only need to go one step further to hit Zhang Zhongming's headquarters.

Sun Chengzong still had to order the troops to withdraw from Xining City with a face full of helplessness and unwillingness.

As a result, Xining City, which was shrouded in night, once again became the world of Ganning's new army......

Even at this moment, the total strength of the new army in Ganning is less than 2,000 people......

After half a night of busyness, the remaining more than 1,000 people of the Ganning New Army were all concentrated at the location of the General Military Mansion......

On the surface, the new army of Ganning suffered heavy losses...... Of the more than 10,000 people, there are less than 2,000 people in front of them.

The Haw Par Army outside the city lost less than 3,000 men after a full battle...... In terms of troop strength, it was the Tiger and Par Army that won.

However, Zhang Zhongming does not think so......

The subordinates standing in front of him were less than two thousand...... However, these soldiers are all elite in a hundred battles without exception......

Based on them, after replenishing some new recruits, they will definitely become a real elite in a short period of time......

What made Zhang Zhongming feel even more relieved was the muskets carried by the more than 1,000 soldiers and the grenades in the bags on their waists.

You must know that this is a firearm that only the elite of the Haw Par Army is equipped with, and no matter how much money you pay, you can't get it.

With the equipment captured on the battlefield today, he can form another 2,000 firearms troops that can compete with the Haw Par Army......

Add to the 3,000 firearms troops that you already have, and you have 5,000 firearms troops......

The 5,000 firearms unit can definitely be called an essential improvement in the combat effectiveness of the entire Ganning New Army...... (To be continued......)
