[Chapter 863 Great Retreat]

“Retreat!”

“Retreat!”

“…” In the

heavy rain, the soldiers of the coalition army who made a sneak attack died, and the wounded lay in the mud howling miserably.

Those who escaped were blocked together, you would not let me, I would not let you, pushing and cursing each other.

Red-eyed, he raised his knife and slashed at the soldiers standing in front of him.

In the midst of this confusion, the cavalry from Miancheng arrived.

They rode their horses back and forth and shouted, ordering the soldiers to retreat.

Some cavalry puffed their mouths and blew their horns.

The order to retreat gave the Union soldiers an amnesty, and they ran to Cotton City as fast as they could.

An hour passed.

The heavy rain gradually stopped and turned into fine rain, and the vision gradually became clearer.

The gunfire also stopped, and only the wailing of wounded soldiers remained on the entire battlefield.

At this time, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei patrolled the camp together.

In his eyes, the corpses of coalition soldiers stretched from the front of the chariots in the camp to 600 meters away.

This is exactly the effective range of the Qin-style rifle.

The wet ground seemed to be covered with a carpet of corpses.

“In this sneak attack, they suffered at least 80,000 to 90,000 casualties.” Chang Wei made a rough estimate.

Zhao Xu nodded, and added, “And they are elite.”

These dead soldiers were well-dressed, all of them were in good shape, and none of them were old, weak, sick or disabled.

Whether it is an ancient war or a modern war, elites are very important.

These elites often belong to experienced, young and strong veterans.

Personal combat effectiveness is also among the best in the army.

In cold weapon wars, these elites often act as vanguards.

As long as they defeated the opponent’s vanguard, the opponent was basically defeated.

In contemporary times, it is the difference between the first-line troops and the second-line troops.

After patrolling around, the two stopped at the south gate of the camp.

Looking at Miancheng, Zhao Xu said coldly, “Don’t miss this opportunity. If you lose it, you won’t come back. Take advantage of the victory to pursue and take down Miancheng.” The

heavy rain makes it difficult to see clearly, which is not conducive to attack.

But after half a day, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to have thinned, and the heavy rain turned into light rain.

This little rain is like a tiger with wings added to them.

Because in the rain, they were able to use Qin-style rifles, but the opponent was unable to use muskets and artillery.

They suddenly became a cold weapon force.

Furthermore, the trenches were now filled with rainwater.

If the rain stops, the water will slowly seep down.

After all, it’s summer now, the sun is so hot that the earth can be baked dry in one day.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was about to make this suggestion to King Yan.

He turned and left, and the drums of attack were sounded.

“Boom, boom, boom…” The sound of the war drum was like thunder, which ignited the morale of the soldiers in the palace.

At the same time, the enemies in Miancheng were frightened.

city wall.

As soon as the war drums sounded in the camp, the expressions of Olski, Ashur, Dou Wei, and Fan Xinglun all changed drastically.

At this moment, they were looking at their own elite who had died tragically in front of the camp, and they were heartbroken.

The sound of the drum made them immediately forget the humiliation of the failed sneak attack.

“This is the sound of war drums for King Yan’s army to launch a general attack, three slow and one fast, you listen.” Dou Wei only felt a chill down his spine.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…” The

three of Ashur listened carefully, and it was true.

With a gloomy face, he looked at Olsky, “Instructor Olsky, come up with a way.”

Olsky just remained silent.

Now, he is sinking into a deep sense of frustration.

When he was sent to Beidi as a military instructor, he despised these eastern natives with the mentality of a civilized person.

I think that teaching them something casually is the golden rule for them.

But as he came into contact with King Yan’s army again and again.

His confidence crumbled.

King Yan’s army not only had more advanced firearms than them, but also made him look like a stupid pig tactically.

This sneak attack was decided by him, and this mistake will be a shame that he will never be able to wash away in his life.

“Bang bang bang…” Just as

he was hesitating, a crowd of King Yan soldiers rushed out of the camp.

They were divided into three groups, all the way to detour from the east, one side to detour from the west, and the other to kill them head-on.

Ors could basically look into the ditch, but he saw that the ditch was full of muddy water.

The trench was dug as high as a man, and the soldiers got into it, not to mention fighting, and they were afraid that they would drown if they were drowned.

Besides, it’s still raining.

Although it was light rain, the patter was non-stop. People would be drenched in the rain in a short while, and ammunition could not be avoided, so it was impossible to fight at all.

“Withdraw!” Olsky closed his eyes slowly, “Stay here and wait to be slaughtered!”

Ashur nodded.

The mud in front of the trench was trampled into mud by the fleeing soldiers.

Even if he sent cavalry, the cavalry would not be able to run in the mud.

The muskets and artillery can’t be used, and neither can the cavalry.

However, King Yan’s musket was used as usual.

Even though he hated King Yan for wanting to die, he didn’t dare to stay and continue fighting.

“Let’s go quickly, we won’t be able to leave any later.” Fan Xinglun said at this time.

Although King Yan’s soldiers were also trudging through the mud, they were still a little closer to Miancheng.

If they are encircled, their end will be the same as that of Jiangxia’s Wu army.

Ashur and Olsky nodded, and immediately went down the city wall.

Then, the horn sounded throughout Miancheng, and the south gate was opened wide. The Beidi cavalry left the city first, followed by the Shizu army, and went southward.

Olsky followed closely under the protection of more than 3,000 Rus soldiers.

In this sneak attack, his army lost more than a thousand people.

Now, one by one of his soldiers were downcast and demoralized.

Obviously, King Yan’s army frustrated them.

“We really have to take this King Yan seriously.” Olsky frowned.

In the past, he thought King Yan was a threat, but it was only a threat.

It may be necessary to use 50% of the country’s strength to deal with it.

But now, he thinks that King Yan is the life and death enemy of the Western Turks.

You must use all your strength to deal with it.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ashur beside him suddenly sighed, “I wanted to exhaust their food and grass, but now, it’s impossible.”

Olsky was taken aback when he heard this.

Turning his head, he looked at Miancheng, where wisps of white smoke were rising into the sky.

It’s just that the white smoke is intermittent, sometimes disappearing, as if there is no energy.

Before retreating, they would naturally burn down the granary.

But now it’s wet everywhere, and it’s not easy to ignite anywhere.

More importantly, the other party came too fast, and the city was full of water, so it was easy to put out the fire.

I’m afraid that the fire will be extinguished before the food and grass are burned.

“It can burn a little bit.” Olsky smiled wryly.

When he came to Miancheng, he was full of enthusiasm, but now it is colder than the rain.

“Damn heavy rain!” A drop of rain fell into his eyes, and he couldn’t help cursing.
