Chapter 847: The Fighter Must Not Be Lost
At the same time that the Tartars withdrew from the battlefield, the reinforcements of the Tiger and Leopard Army, which had lost their resistance, also rushed all the way to the battlefield as soon as possible, and joined the remaining less than 1,000 soldiers of the 2nd Division and 1st Regiment at the foot of the mountain.
When Wang Feng, who looked anxious, appeared in front of the commander of the first regiment of the second division, the regiment commander covered in gunpowder smoke only said one sentence: "Commander, the more than 2,000 soldiers of my regiment have not disgraced the tiger and leopard army...... It's just that this battle was fought so badly that more than a thousand soldiers died directly on the battlefield, and you must avenge the soldiers who died in the battle......"
looked at the regiment commander in front of him with a face full of gunsmoke, and looked at the tired soldiers behind the regiment commander. Wang Feng did not hesitate at all, and replied very decisively: "This revenge must be avenged, and it must be avenged now......
"In this battle, although we do not know the specific losses of the Tartars, there are still fifteen thousand men. Plus they lost all the red-coated cannons and were demoralized. It can be said that the current Tartars must be at their weakest. ”
"A good sentence, take advantage of his illness and kill him...... Such a good fighter plane is in front of me, if I can't grasp it, then I, the commander, will be in vain......"
Speaking of this, an unprecedented serious expression quickly appeared on Wang Feng's face.
The few subordinates who followed Wang Feng knew that as long as Wang Feng had this kind of expression on his face, something big must have happened.
Therefore, in just an instant, the faces of several regiment leaders who followed Wang Feng were also shrouded in a layer of serious expressions for the first time. Several pairs of eyes stared at Wang Feng at the same time, waiting for the next step from the army commander Wang Feng.
Sure enough, it didn't make them wait too long. Wang Feng's solemn command reached their ears......
"Lose the redcoat cannon. The Tartars no longer have any firearms in their hands that can threaten us. So. As long as we form a group and don't disperse, no matter how many Tartars there are, we can't help ......"
"Therefore, I decided to follow the direction of the Tartar retreat and immediately pursue the Houjin army hidden in the mountains. Carry out a very thorough encirclement and suppression, eliminate them, so that they can no longer threaten our tiger and leopard army......" "However, even if the demoralized Tartars are no longer our opponents, the mountain in front of us is still the territory of the Tartars, and the Tartars are more familiar with this place than we are. Therefore, in the process of pursuit, everyone must not underestimate the enemy...... If it is necessary to disperse the troops for pursuit, disperse the troops. There must be no less than one battalion, and signal shells must be brought ......" "In the event of a heavy siege by the Tartars. Immediately send a signal to ask for help from the surrounding troops, and no punishment can be ......"
As he spoke, the commander of the scout battalion who Wang Feng had photographed out had already walked over with excitement on his face.
As soon as Wang Feng's order was issued, the commander of the scout battalion opened his mouth and reported: "Commander, it really didn't surprise you...... Our scout battalion, following your orders, pursued the trail left behind by the retreat of the Tartars, and it only took half an hour to find the main force where they were retreating......"
"So far, the scout battalion has found five Tartars who are retreating, and the soldiers of my scout battalion are following behind them in pursuit, and the main force has been given the direction of pursuit......" "As long as the main force sets off immediately, it will definitely be able to follow the trail left by the scout battalion and catch up with the main Tartar force that is retreating......"
Hearing this result, a fine light quickly flashed on Wang Feng's serious face......
After thinking about it for a while, he opened his mouth and decided: "Five main forces of the Tartars, we have exactly five regiments of troops...... I ordered the five regiments to disperse at once in pursuit, and under the leadership of the scout battalion brothers, quickly catch up with the main Tartar forces and destroy them...... Even if you can't destroy them, you have to inflict heavy losses on them and make them incapacitated......"
"Alright, I'm done...... If you have no other opinions, you can set off at once with your troops......"
After two consecutive hours of retreat, the 5,000 musketeers and 5,000 cavalry under the command of Ao Bai himself had left the battlefield for more than 40 miles.
Looking at the sky around him that had slowly darkened, he saw the soldiers behind him who were demoralized and tired.
Ao Bai could only order his subordinates to camp on the spot...... Otherwise, this high-intensity march would have continued, and it would not be long before discontent would spread among the troops.
Just when Ao Bai got into his tent and began to think about how to explain this defeat to Huang Taiji.
A scout suddenly barged in regardless of his identity.
Because of the defeat, Ao Bai, who was already in a bad mood, immediately vented his anger on this scout, and he didn't even have a chance to say a word to the scout.
It wasn't until the scout was about to be dragged out by the guards to cut off his head that the terrified scout finally reacted.
Ao Bai, who was still angry, shouted loudly: "General, urgent military situation, the slave only has 100,000 urgent emergency military information to report, please let the slave finish speaking, otherwise, the whole Houjin will be finished......"
"Wait a minute...... Although Aobai's anger has not subsided, he has not lost his mind because of this.
Therefore, as soon as the scout's words were finished, Ao Bai reacted from his anger and quickly dragged the scout back who was about to lose his head.
"General, the Haw Par Army, five miles behind the army, found the Haw Par Army, a total of more than 2,000 people, and they are rapidly rushing towards the army station...... The minion implored the general to prepare for the enemy immediately. “
Hearing this, Ao Bai was stunned at first, and then was enveloped by anger again.
Facing the scout in front of him, he scolded loudly: "There are more than 2,000 tiger and leopard troops, and there are only five miles left to attack the main force...... What do you scouts eat, and why are you only finding out now......"
In the face of Obai's wrath, all the scout can do is bear it.
I don't know how long it took, maybe because Ao Bai was tired of scolding, maybe because the anger in Ao Bai's heart disappeared.
The constant scolding in the military tent finally stopped. Then, an unprecedented serious expression quickly appeared on Ao Bai's face.
He shouted to the guards at the door: "The general will order that the whole army immediately abandon all baggage and retreat and move in the direction of the barracks...... Sarkozy was ordered to lead a thousand musketeers and a thousand cavalry, taking advantage of the favorable terrain here, to hold off the pursuing troops of the Haw Par Army as much as possible and cover the retreat of the main force...... Immediately start moving, the Haw Par Army will rush in front of us......"
The five-mile pursuit distance is fleeting in a blink of an eye for the fast-marching Haw Par Army. Therefore, when more than 2,000 Haw-Par troops rushed to the barracks that the Tatars had just abandoned, they happened to bump into the Tatar Sarkozy to gather troops and prepare for blocking the Haw-Par Army.
