Jackson almost collapsed, its main forces went outside the city to pursue the Ming army, who knew that the Ming army launched a sneak attack at this time, Jackson's heart almost collapsed. These damn celebrities are so scheming, no wonder the king told him to. Cheer up the spirit of 12 points, because Naruto does have more brain circuits.

He took more than 100 soldiers from the north gate to the east gate for reinforcements, but the Ming army attacked too quickly. After he led his troops to the east gate, the Ming army had already entered the city and opened the city, and thousands of Ming troops outside the city poured into the city like a tide.

The grenadiers in the city fought with bayonet skills, which were on par with the Fusang people, but they could face several times the Ming army, and no matter how strong the bayonet technology was, they couldn't withstand it.

Zhao Tu carried a big knife and fought with the grenadier officer stationed at the east gate, the officer held the command knife and cut it down, Zhao Tu struggled to push back with the big knife, one move and one style, and the captain's command knife was blown out.

Before he could react, he was hacked to death by the Ming army who rushed up.

Although the commander was killed, Jackson commanded well, gathered nearby soldiers, lined up in three rows, and fired non-stop at the Ming army.

However, the number of Ming troops was too large, there were bows and arrows and firearms, and they fought at night, and the rifles and grenades of the British army were not maximized, and Jackson's troops were killed and wounded several times the Ming army, but they were still broken down by the Ming army and forced to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Ming army.

Most of the weapons of the Ming army were spears and long hairs, and they did not lose their bayonets in the face of grenadiers, but took advantage of their numerical advantage to encircle and suppress the grenadiers.

The casualties of the grenadiers in the city increased sharply, seeing that the Ming army could not be defeated, and the whole army would be wiped out if the battle continued, Jackson was forced to abandon the city of Haifeng, and retreated to the northwest with the remnants of the defeated troops in the city, trying to join the large army.

Jackson reacted very quickly, and ordered the artillerymen to take the shells away, leaving the breech guns behind, and launching a counterattack after dawn to recapture the city, and these breech guns could be picked up again.

More than 100 remnants of the defeated army in the city, led by Jackson, opened the west gate and pursued in the direction of the large army.

Zhao Tu didn't expect that the battle would end so soon, and he always felt that the red-haired devil was not enough, so he asked to lead the army to pursue.

Zhao Tu shook his head and decisively refused, tonight's battle was won, and the casualties of the troops would be very high, he ordered the city gate to be closed, and the whole army defended Haifeng County, and let the scouts in the army go outside the city, trying to get in touch with He Zhen and Ling Jingyang's main force.

The grenadier soldiers who were pursuing the Ming army outside the city suddenly heard the sound of guns and cannons in Haifeng County, and realized that the Ming army was attacking the city of Haifeng, and the lieutenant and the adjutant discussed

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, do you want to go back to reinforce Haifeng City.

The lieutenant didn't want reinforcements, he thought that Jackson still had two or three hundred soldiers in the city, and he could definitely resist the sneak attack of the Ming army.

But the adjutant insisted on withdrawing, after all, Haifeng City was the only military stronghold, and the loss of this military stronghold would be a devastating blow to the grenadier regiment, and it would not be conducive to receiving the royal army that was rushing to help.

The lieutenant was finally convinced, and the two led their troops back to the city of Haifeng, and more than a thousand British grenadiers ran back and forth, almost all of them out of breath.

After Jackson left the city, he ran about five kilometers west, and it happened that the adjutant and the lieutenant also rushed back with the main force, and the two armies happened to come together.

At this time, it was almost dawn, and after receiving reinforcements from the main force, Jackson did not act rashly, but ordered the troops to rest and recapture Haifeng County after dawn.

He was so confident in recapturing Haifeng County because in tonight's battle, the grenadier regiment did not suffer a devastating blow, but only lost more than 100 people in the city, and the main force of the army was still there.

On his orders, more than a thousand grenadiers rested in the abandoned positions and barracks of He Zhen.

Looking at his exhausted subordinates, Jackson was very annoyed, and he swore that after dawn to capture Haifeng County, he must kill the Ming army in Haifeng County to vent the hatred in his heart.

Jackson wasted a precious night.

He didn't know that Ling Jingyang led reinforcements to Haifeng and joined the remnants of He Zhen in a valley.

He Zhen was defeated by the red-haired devil, Ling Jingyang was not surprised at all, but he was beaten like this, there were only more than 3,000 people left, and Wu Daling's artillery unit, there were only a few artillery pieces left, and more than 100 gunners.

This was absolutely unacceptable in his opinion, Ling Jingyang looked at the two of them viciously.

He Zhen and Wu Daling didn't dare to speak, for fear that Ling Jingyang would be excited, so they pushed the two out and cut them down, Ling Jingyang was not a person who loved to kill, for a long time, he and the two said: "Red-haired devil strength and firepower? ”

This can be said that He Zhen and Wu Daling are in pain, and the two of them look at each other, and they don't know how to report the red-haired devil.

In the end, He Zhen stubbornly reported the situation of the red-haired devil to Ling Jingyang, who had more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the city, as well as dozens of artillery, and the rifles, grenades, and artillery used were comparable to those of the Fusang people.

If fighting in the field, the Ming army was still able to take advantage of the advantage of being familiar with the terrain to inflict casualties on the enemy, but this time it was a siege battle, and it was lured into the city by the red-haired devils

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, and was shelled by the red-haired devils, almost scrapping the artillery unit.

After listening to the report, Ling Jingyang immediately changed his plan to rest and recuperate here, and ordered the whole army to advance to see if he could launch a night attack and bleed the red-haired devil.

At this time, a scout suddenly withdrew from the front.

And the scout came back, and there was also a Ming soldier who was beaten to a bruised nose and swollen face, and this man shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't beat your own people, the small one is the general banner of the right battalion, and I was ordered to come and join the governor's army." ”

The scout didn't believe him, but he couldn't kill this person without permission, so he had to tie him up like a zongzi and bring him to Ling Jingyang.

There are thousands of officers and soldiers in the army, how could Ling Jingyang recognize a small general flag, this person knelt in front of Ling Jingyang, and after seeing Ling Jingyang, he immediately shouted loudly again.

"Enlighten everyone, General Zhao led the army to raid Haifeng City tonight, broke into the city in one fell swoop, and let the small ones come to find the big army, and the big army inside and outside to eliminate the red-haired devils."

Zhao Tu actually captured Haifeng City, this exciting news caused a burst of cheers from the whole army, Ling Jingyang didn't expect Zhao Tu to have this ability, but he was still not sure, is this information true or false?

He asked, how did Zhao Tu break through Haifeng City?

Speaking of this, the scout was proud, and despite the faint pain in his face, he reported the battle to Ling Jingyang.

Zhao Tu was ordered by He Zhen to settle in Lufeng, Lu Feng did not have a red-haired devil, he only had the corpse of the city, Zhao Tu personally scouted, found that Haifeng's Ming army was defeated, and immediately led the soldiers to Haifeng City, lurking on both sides of the official road in the east of the city.

Ling Jingyang nodded, and the scout said again: "General Zhao has concluded that the red-haired devil will definitely attack General He's headquarters tonight, so he waited until the red-haired devil went out of the city to pursue, and led the troops to launch a surprise attack and break through Haifeng City in one fell swoop." ”

After finishing speaking, everyone also thought it was incredible, Zhao Tu's right battalion unit was the penultimate in the whole army, even if it was the main force of the red-haired devil to pursue, at least there were garrison troops in the city.

This Zhao Tu actually has this ability, and it is a very correct thing to capture Haifeng City in one go, and it seems that he did not kill Zhao Tu, or send him to Congshan Pass.

Ling Jingyang didn't waste time, the whole army gathered and immediately attacked the red-haired devils outside the city.

Before launching the attack, Ling Jingyang asked the scouts to rush back and convey the latest instructions to Zhao Tu, asking Zhao Tu to lead the army out of the city when the main force launched an attack on the red-haired devils, and try to meet the red-haired devils in close combat, causing the maximum damage to the red-haired devils, so that their weapon advantages could not be maximized.
