As a military commander, he doesn't need to be reminded by others, he also knows very well that it is impossible to turn defeat into victory in this state now, or even to re-stabilize the defensive line, and the collapse of the whole army came so quickly, so that the coalition army did not have any preparation time at all.

Ten minutes ago, they were still on the attacking side, but only ten minutes later, they became the defeated side!

And from beginning to end, Count Ergin failed to figure it out, how could he be defeated?

Not only him, but the other coalition generals and even ordinary soldiers didn't know how he was inexplicably defeated!

How come at the beginning of the attack, your own side will have more than three or four thousand casualties, and on the way to retreat, you will be continuously pursued by the other side, and you don't know how many people have fallen along the way.

Now, can there still be 10,000 people who can still run away?

No!

When the allied infantry broke and fled to the starting position, the artillerymen in the coalition army also panicked, although they were also able to use scattered bullets to repel the enemy at close range, but in front of them were their own infantry, and it was obvious that these infantry would not bypass from both sides, but ran directly towards the artillery position, trying to run past the artillery position and continue to run backwards.

The Chinese soldiers in the back were hundreds of meters away, not giving them time to reorganize and redeploy the defensive line, and a few heroic coalition officers tried to have their men rush down the whole group to counterattack, but they were either scattered by their own men or knocked down by a shot from the Chinese army who arrived later.

As the rout of the coalition army fled into the artillery position, the artillerymen in the coalition army could not help but join the fleeing army, when the Chinese army also rushed to their artillery position. There was no one left in their artillery positions, only a hundred artillery pieces all over the mountains!

"The Chinese Empire. Invincible! ”

Shi Qingxuan, who personally led the troops to launch a counterattack, rode his royal British thoroughbred horse and held his command knife high. As soon as the reins of the horse were pulled, the front hooves of the war horse were raised high.

This majestic posture made the blood boil for the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army in the rear, and there was no longer a commander of the first army who personally led them to charge, and it was even more exciting to win a big victory in the end!

"The Chinese Empire is invincible!"

As the soldiers continued their pursuit, they shouted and cheered through the sky and through the fields, as if they were going to spread throughout the land of China.

And further south on a hill. A scout sent from the direction of Wusong Fort was stunned when he saw the scene ahead.

He was ordered to come to Luodian, originally to see if Luodian's side could hold it, and to pass the relevant news back in time, you must know that Bing Qusong and Xu Yanqing on the Wusong Fort side are already ready to take the initiative to attack, once Luodian's side can't hold it, then they will take the initiative to attack, break through the defense of about 7,000 people left by the coalition army in the south, and then reinforce Luodian. Strive to merge with Shi Qingxuan's troops in the direction of Luodian, and then fight a decisive battle with the main force of the coalition army.

But I didn't expect that before the Chinese army on the side of Wusong Fort attacked, the Sixth Army on the Luodian side defeated the main force of the entire coalition army northward on its own.

Not repulsion. It's about defeating!

The two have completely different meanings, and it seems that this coalition is still a scene of great defeat. This scene is like the scene of the large-scale rout of the enemy army when the Chinese army defeated the Taiping army or the Qing army.

But no one thought of it. Today's war was able to defeat the British and French forces in embarrassment!

When Bing Qusong learned the news, he did not hesitate to order the whole army to attack. After forcing back the 8,000 coalition troops left behind in the south through absolute superiority in strength, he saw the coalition soldiers running all the way to escape, and these coalition soldiers still had the mighty appearance of the morning, one by one, like lost dogs, rushing towards their landing camp.

After these fleeing coalition soldiers, there were Chinese soldiers who were pursuing all over the mountains, and Bing Qusong saw Shi Qingxuan, who was in high spirits and led his troops in pursuit, through the telescope, only to see him wielding a command knife, and the troops behind him continued to move forward like a torrent, and then devoured the coalition troops who fell behind!

When Bing Qusong saw this scene, he had many inexplicable feelings in his heart, envy, jealousy, and admiration for all kinds of feelings entangled, he knew that although he was the commander-in-chief of Shanghai's defense, the first contribution to today's battle was not himself, but that Shi Qingxuan.

It is no wonder that after Shi Qingxuan won the victory in Jiangbei last year and completely captured Anhui and northern Jiangsu, His Majesty did not let him continue to lead the troops north, but let him return to southern Jiangsu to preside over the training of the Sixth Army.

At that time, some people once thought that Shi Qingxuan was a master of high merit, and he was suspicious of His Majesty and was given a cold reception, after all, from the commander in charge of an entire theater to the commander of a newly organized unit, this cannot be regarded as a promotion in any case, or even a flat transfer.

But when he looked at it today, he understood why His Majesty wanted Shi Qingxuan to train the Sixth Army, which is also a newly formed army, and there is also an 11th Division in the Second Army, but the performance of the 11th Division is very average, but the 8th and 9th Divisions of the 6th Army are also newly formed troops, but they are the main force of the coalition army that can defeat more than 10,000 people in a battle, and it is clear how big the gap is.

Let Shi Qingxuan go to train the Sixth Army, not because he is suspicious of moving to the left, but because he has greater expectations for Shi Qingxuan, which shows that Shi Qingxuan and his saint are immortal!

With the reuse and trust of the Son of Heaven, he was able to display all his talents and establish outstanding feats!

For the general, he should be like Shi Qingxuan!

Maybe after this battle, this Shi Qingxuan's title will be raised to the next level, and he may become the first marquis in the empire!

And Bing Qusong maintained the same mentality as Xu Yanqing, once upon a time he Xu Yanqing was the first fierce general in the Chinese army, when he ran hundreds of miles, a fight to Nanjing made him famous in the north and south of the river, and then in just two months is to conquer Zhejiang to make his reputation more prominent, known as the first fierce general of the Chinese army, but with the Chinese army in the implementation of the Jiangbei strategy last year, Shi Qingxuan is a strong rise, although he Xu Yanqing is one of the three earls, but the same as Lin Anfei, The reputation has gradually tended to be under Shi Qingxuan.

And after today's war, I'm afraid the distance between myself and Shi Qingxuan will be even greater!

Although Bing Qusong and Xu Yanqing, the two senior generals of the Chinese Army, had mixed feelings about Shi Qingxuan at this moment, those ordinary soldiers cheered when they saw Shi Qingxuan chasing after him with the Sixth Army.

At this time, even fools know that they won this battle!

Although the next coalition forces resisted desperately, trying to escape back to the landing camp and rely on the cover of the fleet to preserve the last strength, the coalition forces that had completely collapsed had no way to stop the pursuit of the Chinese army, you must know that the Chinese army followed their ass to rush in and pursue.

If the coalition fleet wants to launch an artillery bombardment, it will have to fight with its own people and the enemy.

Moreover, after escaping all the way, many people were actually tired and almost lying down, many coalition soldiers failed to escape back to the landing camp, and many soldiers who could not run simply threw away their guns and then sat down on the spot to express their willingness to be prisoners.

In this battle, except for less than 5,000 coalition soldiers who successfully escaped back to the landing camp, the rest of the soldiers who went out of the battle were either killed and wounded or surrendered as prisoners!

Among the captives was Count Ergin, the commander of the coalition forces!

In this battle, the Sixth Army of the Chinese Army suffered a total of about 3,000 casualties, and the Second Army and the Seventh Army, which took the initiative to attack the 8,000 defenders of the coalition army, also suffered more than 1,000 casualties.

In addition, the cavalry unit finally fell into a war of attrition with the cavalry of the coalition army, resulting in more than half of the casualties, more than 800 casualties, but the cavalry of the coalition forces engaged with them was not much better, with more than 600 dead and wounded, and more importantly, the remaining cavalry, like many infantrymen, was forced to surrender voluntarily in a desperate situation.

The 1st Dragoon Regiment of the Guards, a well-known member of the British Army, was completely wiped out, and this number was probably about to be revoked.

The total casualties of the Chinese army were about 5,000, and this figure can be regarded as a veritable victory compared with the record of more than 10,000 killed in the coalition army and 10,000 prisoners, including the wounded.

In the evening of the same day, the three armies of the Chinese army gathered in addition to the landing camp of the coalition forces and began to dig communication trenches and other fortifications overnight, preparing to launch a direct attack tomorrow under the fire of the naval guns of the coalition fleet, so as to completely conquer the landing camp of the coalition forces in order to completely annihilate the enemy.

But the British and French troops who had been frightened did not dare to stay at all, the remaining 5,000 or so people climbed onto the boat that night, and at dawn the next day, Yang Fan left, and even in order to escape, even many artillery and even rifles and other weapons were directly thrown away, as for other ammunition, food and other materials were piled up without taking them away, they did not even dare to set fire, because they were afraid of setting fire to attract the attention of the Chinese army, which led to the Chinese army directly launched a strong attack at night.

Early the next morning, the Chinese army found that the huge fleet anchored on the river outside the landing camp had set sail, so it quickly occupied the already empty coalition landing camp and successfully captured a large number of artillery, guns, and other weapons, as well as more various war materials.

On the same day, it was announced that the whole army would be rewarded, and all the pigs, sheep and other livestock that the quartermaster department had only purchased from the trade area and other areas would be slaughtered, and even made an exception for the soldiers to be allowed to drink, and at the same time, some brave soldiers and middle and lower-level officers were directly promoted.

When the troops in the direction of Shanghai celebrated after the great victory, a good news also flew to Nanjing from the east! (To be continued......)
