Chapter 603: Heavy Damage (3)
He Zhen looked up to the sky and sighed, scolding Shi Tie for being a white-eyed wolf who ordered a retreat with hatred, and his subordinates broke through at the risk of death, and finally broke away from the battle of the Zheng army and disappeared on the north side of Jieling.
Zheng Jun did not launch a pursuit, until the end of the battle, Shi Tie on the south side of Jieling still did not find a suitable opportunity, forced to stand still, and finally withdrew from the position on the south side, Zheng Zhibao came to the north side of the military camp after dawn, looked at the corpses of the Ming army in Huizhou Prefecture, and felt not very good, and the adjutant general excitedly told him that the annihilation of more than 1,000 enemy troops last night was a hearty victory.
"Bury the bodies."
The adjutant general thought that he had misheard, and said to him without understanding: "General, bury so many corpses, but it will take some time, or send the grain and grass to Wuhua County, and then come back to bury it." ”
Zheng Zhibao wanted to slap the past, but he felt that what his subordinates said was not unreasonable, after all, it was for his sake, if the grain and grass were not sent to the front line, wouldn't he be reprimanded by the Dutch?
He asked the adjutant general to bring a thousand soldiers to bury the body here, and he continued to advance to Wuhua County.
The 16th Dutch Infantry Battalion in Wuhua County finally left the city after dawn, and the battalion commander transferred half a battalion to meet it, although there were only twenty or fifty men, all of them were well equipped.
Under the leadership of the deputy battalion commander, dozens of Ming army scouts were killed along the way, whether it was the scouts of the Shi Tie Department or the scouts of the He Zhen Department, they were all defeated.
The Dutch were like hunting, and they easily rushed to Jieling, only three kilometers away from Zheng Zhibao's troops, and this half battalion of Dutch troops was becoming more and more proud, but they didn't know that in the invisible place, there were a pair of eyes staring at them deadly.
It was the remnants led by He Zhen, who lost more than 1,000 people last night, and there were hundreds of people left in the whole army, but fortunately, the stragglers who had rushed overnight gathered some more, and there were still more than 1,500 soldiers, at this moment He Zhen was lying on the ground sulking, and was half dead by Shi Tie, if Shi Tie launched an attack from the other side last night, he would not have lost so many troops.
Looking at the Dutch army walking on the road, there were only more than 200 people, but the number of troops under his command was not enough, and he was not sure of defeating the Dutch, and he was very annoyed and painful.
If he had a rifle, he would have killed more than 200 Dutch devils a long time ago, just as He Zhen beat his chest, he suddenly saw it

An army rushed towards the Dutch devils as if they were not dying, and then they were Shi Tie's troops.
Shi Tie did not launch an attack last night, because he lacked combat experience He Zhen, but his ability to adapt and learn was stronger than He Zhen.
He vowed to defeat the enemy army armed with rifles, and after arriving in Huizhou City, he reported to Ling Jingyang, asking Ling Jingyang to give him some Dutch rifles and Fusang rifles for him to test.
Ling Jingyang was also very generous, and gave him four guns Dutch rifles and three Fusang rifles in one go, Shi Tie studied the shortcomings of the rifle every night, whether it was a Dutch rifle or a Fusang rifle, the loading and firing speed was very strong, and the Ming army firearms and other firearms could not see the tail shadow at all.
So he started with defense, first of all, the soldier's armor, Shi Tie experimented with a rifle, whether it was cotton armor, paper armor, or iron armor, it was all paper paste in front of the rifle, Shi Tie seemed to have walked into a dead end, tossing and turning all day and night.
A few days ago, Zheng Zhibao grain and grass were seized, most of which was transported to Nanling, and some of the grain and grass were placed on vehicles and followed the troops.
This morning, when the troops began to set off, Shi Tie looked at dozens of grain trucks, and had an idea in his mind, so he parked a grain truck on the side of the road and fired five shots with his rifle in one go, and every moment the bullets were fired into the grain bags, but they did not penetrate the grain bags.
The stone iron mouth plugged open, and the rifle was not able to penetrate all objects, and the rifle could not penetrate the sack full of grain.
So his thinking changed from protecting individual soldiers to protecting the collective, he ordered to fill the food bags with soil, and then pile them on the grain trucks, and then fix the bags with ropes, and the simple assault vehicles were built one by one, and before the departure, the whole army had 20 taels of simple assault vehicles, although in large-scale battles, these assault vehicles had no effect, but attacking a small number of enemy troops, the advantage of the assault vehicles was reflected.
He didn't launch an attack last night, so that He Zhen's troops suffered heavy losses, and he deliberately didn't go, after Zheng Zhibao's troops continued to advance, he and He Zhen had a good heart, and they both wanted to eat the Dutch ghosts who came out of Wuhua County to meet them, so as to achieve the goal of encroaching on the Dutch army.
So He Zhen saw twenty assault vehicles charging on the road of the Dutch army's advance, and dozens of Ming soldiers were hiding behind each car.

Hurriedly fired, most of the bullets hit the bags full of dirt, and only a very small part hit the Ming soldiers, causing dozens of losses to the Ming soldiers.
Seeing that the rifle was of little use, the Dutch deputy battalion commander ordered a grenade to return fire, and the grenade was thrown out, causing great damage to the assault vehicles, at least half of the assault vehicles were blown up by the grenades, and the soldiers in the back were either killed or killed by oncoming bullets.
Fortunately, the Ming army had a large number of troops, not only the twenty assault vehicles rushing forward, on the other side of the road, there were also groups of Ming troops rushing over, the Dutch army was only 250 people, the soldiers desperately pulled the bolt and fired, loaded the bullets, or did not resist the tide of the Ming army's attack, and finally a charge car rushed into the Dutch army, and more than ten Ming soldiers behind the grain truck held spears, which was a mess.
The Dutch soldiers were stabbed in all directions, the firepower suddenly dropped, and more Ming troops rushed over and the Dutch army was in short combat, on the other side of the mountain, He Zhen and his subordinates said: "I was beaten into a pig's brain last night, and today I will kill the Dutch ghost for Lao Tzu, and I will vent my anger." ”
Under his leadership, the remnants mustered up the courage to attack the Dutch army, in the face of the Ming army on both sides, the Dutch army desperately resisted, and there were constantly soldiers who were raised by the Ming army with spears, and then fell to the ground and stabbed to death, the Dutch were unwilling to sit still, and bitterly supported the arrival of Zheng Zhibao.
Zheng Zhibao, who was walking in the direction of the Dutch army, heard the fierce gunfire and realized that the Ming army might be raiding the Dutch ghosts, and a meritorious Qian General said to him: "General, do you want to hurry up and support?" ”
Zheng Zhibao pulled out the big knife, but swung it to the side suddenly, and the head of Mr. Qian, who had just spoken, fell to the ground, and he looked at the other generals coldly.
"This person lied about the military situation, kill!"
The generals all understood what Zheng Zhibao meant, but in fact, no one wanted to be a dog for the Dutch, and they all chose to acquiesce in Zheng Zhibao's behavior.
Zheng Zhibao killed his subordinates who tried to be dogs for the Dutch, and led the troops to continue to advance, he hoped that the Dutch would die more, and under Zheng Zhibao's negative attitude, the entire grain transport team tacitly slowed down, as if the battle ahead had nothing to do with them, until the gunfire in front gradually stopped.
Zheng Zhibao led the troops to speed up, and when they arrived at the battlefield, the battle was over.
