It's just that with Li Xian's cunning and cunning, he will not take the initiative to attack even at such a time, and he will definitely further weaken the army on the opposite side before launching a step-by-step retreat, in order to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost.

Yang Fang and the British commander were really unwilling, feeling that their own combat strength still had the upper hand, and the previous losses were just careless, so they continued to send soldiers to attack in order to save face.

Li Xian naturally had nothing to say about this, and the infantry and artillery cooperated to eliminate the invading enemy little by little, and worked hard to eliminate the gap between the two sides.

It wasn't until late in the evening that Yang Fang's side reacted, and it was a bottomless pit to fight like this, and there were not enough soldiers to fill it, so he stopped attacking.

In this day's battle, Yang Fang's side lost about 4,000 people, but his total strength was as much as 30,000, and this loss accounted for about 10% of the total strength, and he could bear it, while the British army lost 2,000 people, according to the total strength of 5,000 people, this is a loss of 40%, which immediately made the eyes of most British officers red.

Britain, as the largest colonial empire in the world, fought smoothly from Europe to the Americas, and has never suffered such heavy losses.

At night, the tents of the Qing army and the British army were brightly lit, and they constantly sent signal troops to visit each other to discuss the next day's combat strategy.

At this time, both Yang Fang and the British commander realized that the two sides of this battle must cooperate sincerely, otherwise there would be defeat and no victory.

Late at night, the Qing and British soldiers slept in their respective tents and continued to fight the next day.

I didn't expect Li Xian's side to be really authentic, at about 11 o'clock in the evening, there was a sudden drumming in the Heiwu Mountain position, and there were still a large number of shells fired at this side, which was actually a posture of sneak attack at night.

"Enemy attack!" Yang Fang discussed with his staff for a long time, and had just been lying down at this time, when he heard this movement, he suddenly woke up and grabbed the European pistol next to his pillow.

The Qing army camp was chaotic at this time, there were noisy people, horses were neighing, some jumped out to get weapons, some were so frightened that they ran to the corner, and some tried to take advantage of the chaos to escape, there was really no one, which made Yang Fang's heart cold.

If Li Xian really took advantage of this time to enter the army, this kind of chaos in the Qing army camp would be easily bulldozed.

Yang Fang was a veteran after all, and he pretended to be calm and took his own soldiers and officers to inspect the camp, calm down the chaos, and finally stop the riot, and cut off the heads of dozens of soldiers who added to the chaos.

Fortunately, Li Xian's side was just a little more moving, and he didn't really send anyone to attack him, until Yang Fang regained control of the camp, and there was not a single soldier on that side.

"Fortunately, the enemy army just bluffed and did not take the opportunity to attack. One of the staff members breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat.

It's just that Yang Fang's face sank: "Li Xian is really cunning, let's not want to sleep tonight, everyone be vigilant, lead the troops to patrol the camp, don't let the soldiers mess up." ”

"My lord is saying that Li Xian is going to use a trick to exhaust the enemy?"

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are many examples of this kind of tired enemy's strategy, that is, beating gongs and drums at night to cause the posture of the army to attack, so that the enemy can not sleep well at night, so that he can take a great advantage when fighting during the day.

Yang Fang's army had to act for Li Xian before, and deliberately came back secretly after going around to Bao'an County, and had attacked the enemy camp the night before, and worked hard all day during the day, it was the most exhausting time, and Li Xian wanted to use this kind of tired enemy tactic, which was the most suitable time.

"This Li Xian is really not a son of man, and he actually came up with such a shameless plan. The staff gritted their teeth and said, knowing that no one would want to sleep soundly tonight.

Yang Fang is experienced in using soldiers, and his guess is very accurate, and after about two hours, Li Xian's side is really firing cannons and shooting, mixed with the sound of gongs and drums, which alarmed the Qing army and the British army again, got up and entered the position, and waited for the battle.

It's a pity that this is still a false move, Li Xian didn't really send someone over, but let the army here work in vain.

"It's still the military who expects the enemy to be like a god. Yang Fang's subordinates were very sleepy at this time, and they were also holding on to Yang Fang's ass at this time.

"The big guy still has to be vigilant, the art of war is unpredictable, Li Xian bluffs on the surface, and it may not be possible to suddenly change it to an actual attack, so be sure not to relax your vigilance. Yang Fang yawned and reminded his subordinates to pay attention.

After a few hours, Li Xian's side really made another earth-shattering movement, and even secretly sent a few artillery pieces forward to fire shells into the camp of the Qing army and the British army, not seeking to achieve any results, only to cause chaos to the other side and not let the enemy have a good rest.

After a lot of chickens and dogs jumping in the camp of the Qing army, it was quiet again, but everyone's mood was so bad that it couldn't be worse, whether it was a gentle and elegant scribe or a rude big-headed soldier, they were all scolding Li Xian for being too inauthentic, and he would have to catch it and rectify Yunyun in the future.

Yang Fang finally led the officers to pacify the soldiers, but fortunately, it was dawn at this time, and the sky was about to dawn, and when Li Xian's sneak attack was exhausted during the day, there was no use.

It's just that both the Qing soldiers and the British army are very tired at this time, and if they fight again during the day, you can imagine how much combat effectiveness they can exert, which makes the British commander and Yang Fang worried.

The boss ordered them to block Li Xian, and it was best to sneak attack to give huge casualties, but it seems that it can't be done at this time, and tomorrow Li Xian will break through with all his heart, and a group of tired soldiers on their side may not be able to stop it at all, so they can't explain to their superiors.

Dawn passed quickly, and as the day was about to dawn, there was another loud noise around the camp of the Qing and British troops, which caused some confusion among the soldiers on both sides.

"Damn, is this still over?" Yang Fang couldn't help but scold, and wanted to force herself up to make a round, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The previous few noises came from the side of the Black Black Mountain in front, but this time it came from behind his own house, and there were also a large number of explosions in his own camp, this is not a false soldier, but a real attack.

Thinking of this, Yang Fang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, this Li Xian was really cunning with his soldiers, after the first few false attacks, this time it was really true, and it would be bad now.

It's just that Li Xian's camp is in the direction of Heiwu Mountain in front, but this time the sound is coming from the back of his own camp, will this Li Xian fly and fly to his rear with soldiers and horses to attack?

Yang Fang couldn't think about it at this time, and immediately gathered all the generals to defend against the incoming enemy.

Also confused are the British army, they have been guarding the direction of Heiwu Mountain, but they did not expect that a large number of troops suddenly came out from behind, artillery, rocket artillery, grenades, rifles together, the combat effectiveness is very strong, and they were blinded at once.

The Qing army and the British army were very tired, and when they encountered a surprise attack, they finally did not break and dispersed, and tried their best to resist.
