Chapter 626: Rupture (2)
Ling Jingyang led the main force of the left battalion and immediately rushed to the British military camp.
Almost at the same time, Edmund returned to the barracks and ordered the troops to assemble and put the whole army under martial law.
The British soldiers in the barracks were a little confused by Edmund, and although they were very reluctant, they were still forced by Edmund's order to get up from their beds, carry rifles, and carry grenades to guard the barracks.
In fact, when Edmund returned to the barracks, he heard the people scolding and scolding, the soldiers and the villagers shouting, he didn't expect Ling Jingyang to see through his disguise so quickly.
One of the guards came running to report to him that there was a Ming army lined up in front of the barracks, and Edmund waved his hand to show that he understood.
He was also waiting for Ling Jingyang to arrive, Ling Jingyang did not let him wait long, when the people in the city retreated from the north gate and the east gate, he ordered the whole army to take fifty steps forward, a thousand Ming soldiers held their shields forward, and hundreds of British soldiers did not dare to shoot.
Edmund, who was all watching, walked out of the camp alone, shouting to Ling Jingyang as he walked.
"Governor Lingdu, Prince Henry has agreed to ally with the Ming Dynasty and expel the Dutch, don't you want to be in the nest?"
Ling Jingyang was a little sad, he thought he was very good to Edmund, but after all, it was the Ming army that ate the grenadier regiment, as long as Prince Henry talked about the grenadier regiment, even if he poured ten barrels of ecstasy on Edmond, he could make Edmund sober up instantly.
"Edmond, when you come back from the cavalry regiment, the cavalry regiment will send thousands of cavalry to Huizhou City, presumably, you have made a choice."
The soldiers of the Ming army are getting closer and closer, and the palms of the British soldiers are sweating, and if they don't shoot, after the Ming army rushes in, everyone will die.
But Ling Jingyang did not attack until Edmund came to him.
Edmund felt like he had been beaten up, and his whole body was very decadent.
"If you dare to come to see me alone, you are also a hero."
Edmund begged Ling Jingyang not to kill indiscriminately.
"You let go of my subordinates, if you want to kill, kill me, it's because I don't pay attention to righteousness."
In the face of national interests, righteousness is a fart, Ling Jingyang looked at Edmond, this British sir, who is also in his early forties, but he has long been an old face.
Ling Jingyang asked him when the Royal Cavalry Regiment would attack, and Edmund replied that at eleven o'clock tomorrow night, Prince Henry would lead his army to attack.
After saying this, Edmund thought that he was going to die, and he was coming

Before he died, he persuaded Ling Jingyang: "You should withdraw quickly, don't be an enemy of Prince Henry, you can't beat him." ”
"If we can't fight, we have to fight, we are defending our home and defending the country, unlike you, who will invade across the ocean."
Ling Jingyang dragged his hands to death, as long as he made a move, the rifle platoon, the guards, and the soldiers of the left battalion would not hesitate to destroy this group of British.
"You killed the grenadiers, are you still fooling me?"
Edmund roared at Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang turned his head to look at the sky, the sky was white at this time, and it would not be long before the sun covered the earth again, he turned around and smiled lightly with Edmund.
"Edmond, I will give you Huizhou City, and we will meet on the battlefield in the future and fight to the death."
After speaking, Ling Jingyang left with the team.
The entire Huizhou city army and civilians are retreating towards Boluo County, and there are fewer and fewer soldiers and civilians in the city, Edmund wanted to go out of the city several times, reported to the deputy commander that the Ming army in the city had withdrawn, and asked the Royal Cavalry Regiment to quickly pursue the Ming army.
But he couldn't take a step after all, and only after the soldiers and civilians in the city had almost withdrawn did he lead his troops in the direction of the Royal Cavalry Regiment.
The deputy regimental commander had already come to the outskirts of Huizhou City with hundreds of cavalry, and he did not dare to enter the city for a long time, because he was afraid of exposing the team, which would not be conducive to Prince Henry's surprise attack tonight.
When Edmund arrived with the guards, the deputy commander knew that the Ming army was retreating to Boluo County, and the deputy commander ordered the whole army to pursue, but was stopped by Edmund.
"Your Excellency, be careful of deception?"
Edmund was kind, and the deputy regiment commander suddenly rode his horse towards Edmund, and the impact of the horse knocked Edmund several meters away.
Everyone was stunned, Edmund was lying on the ground, blood was constantly spilling from his mouth, and the deputy regimental commander once again rode up to him and said arrogantly: "Edmund, lose the grenadier regiment, die." ”
He drew his pistol, shot three shots at Edmund's head, and then pursued the Ming army with two thousand British cavalry and Edmund's men.
The Ming army of Huizhou City did not retreat in a swarm, but retreated in an orderly manner, Ling Jingyang attached great importance to the rear boring artillery, Wu Daling took the nine rear boring cannons that could still be used, and five hundred and ten shells retreated in advance.
On the way to retreat, he received a military order, and then the boring artillery was set up on the spot to bombard the British cavalry that was pursuing.
The British cavalry came and went like the wind, and there were only four dukes away from the army and civilian rear army of Huizhou City

, the deputy regiment commander could almost see the embarrassment of the hasty retreat of the troops after the Ming army was broken.
Ling Jingyang didn't expect that the British cavalry would have such a strong mobility ability, and it would only take long to catch up.
He ordered his troops to speed up and retreat at full speed towards Boluo County.
At this time, Zhao Tu also rushed to reinforcements with the soldiers of the right battalion, and it was still three kilometers away from Boluo County, and the British cavalry caught up with the Ming army.
The Ming army after the break was a rifle platoon led by Ling Jingyang himself, a guard team, and 4,000 Ming soldiers who looked at death as if they were home.
Ling Jingyang calmly gave a military order.
Sword and shield hand, step forward.
A thousand soldiers took twenty steps forward with their shields in hand, and firmly held their shields to their chests to meet the charge of the enemy cavalry.
Xu Sheng commanded the archers to fight, and under his command, 900 archers bent their bows and arrows, waiting to be fired.
Two thousand spearmen were left behind the archers, who immediately went up as soon as they released their arrows.
The only units in the whole army armed with rifles were the rifle platoon and the guards, and Ling Jingyang gave an order.
"Raise your gun, take aim."
The generals looked at the forward troops of the British Cavalry Regiment, the distance was only one thousand meters, and the deputy commander who rode his horse and galloped ordered to speed up, and today he was going to drink the blood of the Ming army.
Suddenly there was a clicking sound to his left, and he turned his head to see a barrage of bullets slashing into his chest.
He and dozens of nearby cavalry fell to the ground, followed by more rattling sounds, and more and more British cavalry were killed by machine-gun fire.
Ling Jingyang looked at the north side of the battlefield, and there were several machine guns spraying bullets at the British cavalry on an inconspicuous hill.
The machine gun was much more powerful than the rifle, the five machine guns were still pouring bullets, and the British cavalry was suddenly attacked by heavy fire, and a large number of strange soldiers were killed by machine gun fire, and they were forced to retreat with heavy losses.
Ling Jingyang ordered the artillery battalion to open fire, and on the retreat road of the British cavalry, many cavalry were killed and wounded.
After the shelling was over, Ling Jingyang wanted to order the artillery to bombard an inconspicuous hill and knock out the five machine guns.
Just as he was about to give the order for the bombardment, a large number of soldiers came out from both sides of the hill, each dressed in a strong Europa style.
