From the moment the horses appeared on the defense line of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the commander-in-chief of the New Army saw the purpose ......of the cavalry regiment and also knew the final outcome of his attack.

Sure enough, after hundreds of horses rushed on the battlefield, it didn't take long for a thousand elite musketeers to be killed and wounded everywhere, completely losing their combat effectiveness.

Looking at the bloody scenes on the battlefield, except for the general soldiers, who had already prepared in their hearts, everyone else was stunned. Unexpectedly, the Tiger and Par Army, which was about to lose everything, would push the war horse out at the last moment.

I didn't expect that the crazy war horse would have such a powerful power on the battlefield.

Especially Li Qianzong, the commander of the thousand musketeers, could hardly believe his eyes.

By the time he finally recovered from the shock, a face was covered with a thick expression of despair.

Especially when I saw the wounded soldiers who had not been directly killed on the battlefield, but could only wait for death. Mr. Li Qian, who looked desperate, couldn't wait to rush directly to the battlefield and rescue them......

You must know that among these wounded soldiers, there may be many people who are their confidants......

After stopping the impulsive Li Qianzong, the deputy general, who was also full of panic, directly shifted his gaze to the general soldier, and asked with a desperate face: "General, do you want to continue to let people attack......

"Useless ......" the general soldier waved his hand and replied helplessly.

"As long as the Tiger and Par Army in front of us has enough war horses, no matter how we attack, they can easily break our musket array with war horses......

What the general soldier said is the truth, but as long as it is not at the last moment, people will not give up the last survival**.

So, the words of the general soldier have just been finished. The adjutant general asked with a face full of reluctance.

"Then we'll wait here to die...... The gunfire behind him has been silent for a long time...... If we don't break through the defense line of the Tiger and Leopard Army in front of us and return to Nanjing City, we will really be surrounded by the Tiger and Leopard Army, and we will never be able to go back......"

Under the gaze of the adjutant general and several thousand generals, the only response that the general soldier could make was silence.

Faced with this result, almost everyone's faces slowly turned gloomy.

That's when it happened. A voice suddenly sounded in the middle of several thousand generals......

"No, General...... We can also go back to Nanjing. Although the Haw Par Army blocked the official road, the defense line was only that long...... We can completely disperse and break through and bypass the Haw Par Army defensive line. It's just that, in this case, we will have to give up all baggage and artillery. Not only that, but there are also many brothers who are scattered to break through. It may also be raided by the Haw Par Army......"

"But, no matter what, there are so many of our soldiers, there will always be people who ask for the surprise attack of the cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army and return to Nanjing City......"

"Therefore, the last general thinks that instead of being surrounded by the tiger and leopard army here again, the whole army will be annihilated...... It is better to disperse the troops immediately. Fighting separately, they went around the city of Nanjing from both sides of the Haw Par Army's defensive line. ”

And here they were all wiped out. Disperse and break through to survive a part of the soldiers.

Faced with two choices, as long as there is a little sanity, the general will not hesitate to choose the latter.

The General Forces nouvelles are no exception.

As a result, the 4,000 new troops of the imperial court, which had just been gathered together, immediately rushed into the wasteland on both sides of the official road in units of 100 people and disappeared on the official road.

Face this situation. Even if the commander of the cavalry regiment knew that he would attack now, with the current strength of the cavalry regiment, he could at least destroy a thousand more enemies. However, the commander of the cavalry regiment did not do this......

Because, the remaining more than 400 soldiers under his command are too tired. And that's not all. Among these more than 400 people, many others were wounded, and even if the war horses were sent to them now, they would not be able to continue the battle.

So, all the cavalry regiment could do was watch the enemy disappear in front of them.

However, the heart of the commander of the cavalry regiment was not calmed down by the end of the battle.

At this moment, he was praying to the heavens that reinforcements would hurry to the battlefield.

As long as the reinforcements arrive at the battlefield in time, and kill the south gate of Nanjing, block the south gate. These new troops of the imperial court, who have made many detours in order to survive, will definitely be blocked outside the city again.

It's just that the wish of the commander of the cavalry regiment did not come true.

Due to various reasons, there were still 5,000 musketeers left, but they did not arrive at the battlefield in time to block the southern gate of Nanjing.

But even then, the ultimate goal of the commander of the cavalry regiment was achieved.

Even if the reinforcements did not arrive at the battlefield in time, the 4,000 new imperial troops who broke through were scattered, and only more than 1,000 people finally returned to Nanjing City.

As for the rest of the officers and men of the New Army, there is no doubt that they all became deserters.

Because, at this time, as long as there is a little sanity, it can be inferred that even if he successfully returns to Nanjing City, he will not be able to avoid being wiped out by the Haw Par Army.

After all, there were only so many defenders left in Nanjing City, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it was impossible for them to be the opponent of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Therefore, instead of returning to Nanjing City to continue to wait for death, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity for the troops to disperse and break through, break away from the new army, and live well.

Of course, for these circumstances, the cavalry commander did not know. It wasn't until the Haw Par Army captured the city of Nanjing that they learned about this situation from the captured imperial court civil and military mouths.

At this moment, the commander of the cavalry regiment was reporting the losses of the troops to the army commander Wang Feng with a guilty face......

"Commander, the last general did not fight this battle well and did not complete the task...... More than 4,000 new imperial army broke through from under the nose of the last general, but the last general had no way...... Ask the commander to surrender. ”

"Also, the troops not only did not complete their tasks, but also suffered heavy losses...... The whole regiment can continue to stay in the cavalry regiment after the war, and there are less than 450 people when the whole regiment is fully counted...... Such heavy casualties were caused by the improper command of the general, please punish the commander...... Otherwise, the last general will be sorry for those cavalry brothers who died in battle......"

In the eyes of many people, the cavalry regiment wiped out the 6,000 new imperial army with more than 1,000 casualties, which was a victory in every aspect.

However, military regulations are military regulations, tasks are tasks, and no matter how many enemies are destroyed, as long as the mission is not completed, it is a loser.

Looking at Wang Feng with a serious face in front of him, everyone secretly sweated for the commander of the cavalry regiment, afraid of what punishment the commander of the cavalry regiment would receive.

To everyone's relief, the seriousness on Wang Feng's face didn't last long before disappearing.

Then, in his calmest tone, he said: "No, the cavalry regiment fought well...... Although the mission was not completed, this battle can definitely be called a victory...... You can rest assured, whether it is the general or the prince, it will not make the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army chill for the life and death of thousands of new troops in the imperial court" (to be continued............
