Chapter 1233 Xinghua Campaign (2)

Jiang Quanyi reacted the fastest and jumped up and roared: "Are you all stupid? He is so stupid. Don't you know how to pick up the credit you delivered to your door... You've taken him yet?!"

Bashan was captured, and most of the 1,800 cavalrymen were lost. The rest of them were already scared and lost their fighting spirit. This scene only happened in the blink of an eye.

The Qing army watching the battle on the city wall suddenly became unsatisfied and could not react. How could the battle still be like this?

If both sides don’t even have contact, then the victory or defeat is decided?

The 1,800 Iron Cavalry did not even have the power to fight back?

When he saw the war horses dragging Bashan and being captured by the Northern Expedition Army, the generals on the city came to his senses.

This is bad!

The master was captured, and even if the city was not destroyed, he would probably have to fall into pieces.

Fortunately, Bashan only took away the cavalry, and there were more than 6,000 infantry in the city. There were only 6,000 enemies, which could be fought!

The general quickly ordered to go down to the city wall, took the initiative to rescue Bashan.

This order was implemented quite well.

At least Bashan’s confidants were relieved.

If they lose Bashan, they will be woven into other banners, they will lose everything they have, become slaves to other banners, and everything will start again.

How many times does life have to start over?

....

Jiang Quanyi smiled.

He smiled happily as he watched the defenders crowded on the walls, some of whom began to retreat to the city.

This is his real purpose.

Siege, that's bluffing.

If there is no artillery to follow, you have to fill in the soldiers' lives.

Jiang Quanyi couldn't bear to let it go.

"withdraw!"

Jiang Quanyi ordered quickly and decisively.

The vanguard of the Northern Expedition Army, carrying the captive Bashan who had just succeeded, retreated like a tide.

This scene made the defenders angry.

What are you doing?

Can you fight with dignity?

But seeing is true, the enemy will retreat after all.

Why retreat?

Of course, I dare not fight head-on.

But he didn't think about it. Since this Northern Expedition Army can annihilate more than a thousand cavalry, how could he care about the thousands of pursuing infantry?

I often like to think about the side that is beneficial to you at the fork of choice, and the side that is unfavorable is completely ignored.

I was thinking about why I had to retreat if the enemy was sure to defeat it.

Because I was not sure, I had to retreat.

Then, this explanation continued to strengthen his judgment, and he brazenly ordered, "Chase!"

....

Jiang Quanyi's tactics have begun to deviate from the scope of infantry exercises.

There is no such fighting style in the infantry exercises.

But Jiang Quanyi likes the unconventional tone. He plans to write about his current tactics and practice the infantry, so that he can live with the Northern Expedition Army!

It is not easy to write about the infantry's teachings. It is not just a victory to verify that his tactics are representative and replicable.

So, what Jiang Quanyi has to do is to win completely!

The defenders of Xinghua City, when they left the city gate, the Northern Expedition Army was already retreating.

In other words, this distance is three miles.

Sanli land is nothing to cavalry, but for infantry, it makes people breathe.

The problem is that the Northern Expedition Army is also running.

If you want to catch up, you have to chase it hard and surpass the enemy's speed.

This is another disguised way for Jiang Quanyi to wait for his work. At least, if the enemy wants to pursue him, you have to travel three more miles.

Often, when people run down three miles and are not used to it, they will pant like a cow.

How else to fight?

But the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army are different. Running is a compulsory course they practice every day.

Three miles away... Tsk tsk, if you don’t kneel for seven or eight miles, you probably won’t care about food.

It's hard to catch up!

Of course, Jiang Quanyi could not let the enemy lose hope of catching up, so the Northern Expedition Army ran for a while and rested for a while, what should we do? Wait for the enemy to chase us!

It’s a pity that the soldier carrying 800 tiger squatting cannons was really in trouble. Who would be willing to carry more than 20 kilograms of iron lumps to make fun of?

The key is that I can't fight yet, for fear of scaring people back.

This pursuit and escape took a long time, and it passed.

Until the Northern Expedition Army "escaped" and returned to Ningxiang, became the back team of the front team, and encountered the main force of the Taizhou Guard, then everything should be over.

....

On the official road, more and more Qing troops were pursuing them.

The defender general was already breathless. The courageless Southern barbarian would be tricked. Could it be that he could not fight in a dignified battle...Is he going to escape back to Taizhou City?

The general felt a little regretful. It was not that he shouldn’t have sent troops to rescue Bashan, but that he shouldn’t have pursued him.

After chasing after a long time, look at the soldiers around you, and there is no strength to fight.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel cold after his spine, and he finally realized the danger.

You must never chase after you. Once you pass Ningxiang, if the enemy sets an ambush, it will be dangerous. If you bring out 4,000 people, if you fall into the ambush, Xinghua City will probably not be able to defend it.

"Stop chasing!"

This order was so popular that it made the Qing soldiers pursuing and kissing them.

Unfortunately, after the pursuit for half a day, not to mention the people's hearts have dispersed, but to mention the team and the system have already dispersed.

Generals cannot find soldiers, soldiers cannot find generals.

The order is useful around you and cannot be passed on.

The general was so anxious that he stomped his feet. Only then did he truly realize how stupid it would be to go out of the city to pursue him.

However, he could not regret it at all, because the artillery bombardment of the Northern Expedition Army officially began at this critical moment.

....

In fact, the orders of the generals were given very timely. If this was under normal circumstances, even if Jiang Quanyi set up an ambush, he would not take up much advantage.

Because with the current firearms, whether they are muskets or artillery, they have more defense and insufficient offense.

It’s not that the firepower is insufficient, but that the propulsion speed is too slow.

In addition to siege, such as Xinghua City, it is there. As long as the periphery is cleared, you can push the cannons to the range and then bombard them. Even if you cannot knock down the city walls and scare people, it is still OK.

But if it is a field battle, as long as the enemy wants to escape, it will not be able to chase it. It is not enough to catch up.

It was nothing more than just like the Qing army was pursuing the Northern Expedition Army at this time, no one could run first in the competition.

But the problem is that since Jiang Quanyi has the first and second steps, he can naturally predict this step.

The back team of the front team, that is, the soldiers carrying tiger squatting cannons on their shoulders, have already received pre-war guidance from Jiang Quanyi.

Jiang Quanyi's deployment was very simple, that was, when they were shaking their feet and fleeing south, they stopped when they met the main force from Taizhou, and cooperated with the main force to launch artillery bombardment on the pursuers on the official road.

This shelling was different from the one under Xinghua City.

The difference is that this time it is nearly three artillery echelons.

Nearby, it is naturally a tiger squatting cannon.

Middle, it is a rapid-fire cannon.

The farthest thing is the latest large-caliber gun, which is the result of imitating the side cannons on imported warships and improving them. Taizhou Wei has just changed his clothes not long ago.
