Chapter eight hundred and sixty second retreat

"Sir, General Chen Shen is defeated." The deputy general beside Yang Guozhu said in a low voice.

The officers and horses from a battalion sent to fight fled and fled. The generals who led the troops fled in the direction of the officers under the escort of their own soldiers.

Yang Guozhu's face looked very ugly.

A battalion of five or six thousand infantrymen could not even deal with a team of about a thousand men in the tiger flag. In the end, he was defeated and defeated. This made him unable to believe that the scene in front of him was true.

The troops he brought were the elite of the Xuanfu, but was defeated by a group of bandits, and was defeated by others with few defeats. It was simply a shame for the soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu, and also the general of the Xuanfu.

"Sir?" The deputy general on the side couldn't help but shout without waiting for Yang Guozhu's response.

Yang Guozhu withdrew his gaze and said, "I haven't lost yet, let the bird gunners of the Firearms Camp fight."

"Yes, let's arrange this." The deputy general next to him agreed and turned around and left.

As soon as he left, the defeated general finally escaped. He came to Yang Guozhu, knelt on the ground with one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, lowered his head and said, "I am incompetent, please punish me."

"Let's talk about your affairs back and let go first." Yang Guozhu made an impatient move to drive away the general kneeling in front of him.

Seeing that Yang Guozhu was unwilling to pay attention to him, the general had to get up and retreat.

At this time, a team of bird guns of about a thousand people walked out of the official army and appeared in front of the formation.

Bird guns have always been ignored in the official army. The bird gun team with about a thousand people in front of me is the only team in Xuanfu that uses bird guns.

There were as many as thousands of defeated infantry in the official road. In addition to some of them fled to the wheat fields on both sides of the official road, some of them fled to the direction of the army along the official road.

Some swords and axes with sharp blades blocked the bird gunners of the official army, staring at the infantry fleeing back with a look of alert.

As the general of Xuanfu, Yang Guozhu knew very well that the more this time, the less he could not let these defeated soldiers retreat directly to the army.

The swordsman sent out was to stop the defeated soldiers who wanted to get close to the official army.

The only one unlucky infantryman who escaped from the escaped army hit the sword and axe driver and was killed. After the others discovered the sword and axe driver, they fled to the wheat fields on both sides.

The time was not long, and there were not many defeated soldiers on the official road. Instead, there were crowds of people in the wheat fields on both sides, and many people were stumbled inside.

Yang Guozhu ordered with a cold face: "Let the bird gunner advance and clean up the tiger-shaped soldier in front of me."

A small flag official ran to pass the order.

Not long after, the bird gun in front of the army started to move manually and slowly walked along the official road toward the front.

The original formation of bird gunners teams, which had been in a few steps, were completely dispersed, like a group of people coming to the market, walking forward in a mess.

Boom! Boom... Boom!

As soon as the bird gunner on the official army moved forward, the roar of cannons sounded in the sky.

Solid bullets fell from the sky and fell into the team of bird gunners, and several solid bullets fell a few steps away from Yang Guozhu and other generals.

The official army's bird gunner team was in chaos, and many bird gunners fled in scattered to avoid artillery attacks.

Seeing this scene, Yang Guozhu looked very ugly.

The cannon with the tiger flag was already here. It was obvious that the people with the tiger flag had moved the cannon forward, and it should have been moved when the official infantrymen were defeated before, otherwise he would not have noticed it at all.

The deputy general on the side said at this time: "Sir, the cannon with the tiger flag can be hit by us. Why not let the general protect you, please withdraw a few miles."

The expression on Yang Guozhu's face was cloudy and sunny.

Retreat at this time is equivalent to retreating the troops, but he is a little unwilling to retreat now.

"Sir, the other party was testing the cannon just now. The ability of the gunner with the tiger flag is probably to be here in the next round." The deputy general said worriedly.

By the beginning of the tiger flag bombarding the cavalry of the official army, he found that the gunners of the tiger flag were far more powerful than those of the official army. Not only did the artillery speed be faster, but the more important thing was that the shots were hit high, and there were few cases of the cannon miss.

"Sir, why not retreat for the time being and wait for the next day to fight again." A general next to him persuaded Yang Guozhu.

At this moment, a man came from behind the army panting.

"Oh no, sir, General Zhang took the people away."

As he finished speaking, Yang Guozhu and several military generals from Xuanfu around him suddenly changed their expressions.

"Say it again, what's wrong with Zhang Huai?" Yang Guozhu, who looked cold, asked the soldier who came to deliver the letter again.

The soldiers in front of him said, "General Zhang fled with the troops from the Datong battalion."

"Zhang Huai deserves to be killed!" Yang Guozhu cursed.

Zhang Huai's withdrawal of troops at this time will definitely shake the morale of the army, even if their Xuanfu soldiers do not want to withdraw, they will not be able to do so.

The deputy general on the side advised: "Sir, please withdraw!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of cannons came from afar.

Solid bullets fell from the sky, most of which fell into Yang Guozhu's army.

The cannon hit a person and almost killed him on the spot. In addition, the crowds of people around him were crowded, and a solid bullet would take at least six or seven lives.

"Protect your son." A personal soldier beside Yang Guozhu shouted loudly, and at the same time protected Yang Guozhu with his body.

The surrounding soldiers surrounded Yang Guozhu, and some soldiers held shields in front of him.

I don’t know if it was because of the luck or the gunners of the tiger flag were aimed at places with many officers and soldiers, but Yang Guozhu and the generals around him were not bombarded by the cannons. Instead, the army behind him killed and injured many people.

"Sir, please retreat!" the deputy general next to him said with a look of anxiety.

The first round of artillery bombardment did not hit him, but he did not dare to bet that the next round of artillery would be lucky and would not be hit.

Yang Guozhu gritted his teeth, finally made up his mind and said, "The army retreated fifteen miles."

With the general order, the imperial army began to retreat.

The official army retreated very quickly, and the previous fight with the tiger flag soldiers suffered a considerable loss. Many soldiers ran faster than anyone else when they heard the order to retreat.

Fortunately, although the official army lost some troops, most of them were intact and their strength was not weakened too much. Even if they retreated, they were not too panic. There was no such thing as the army being defeated because of retreating.

There were many people on the side of the tiger flag holding monoculars and staring at the government army.

Seeing the retreating army by the government, Wang Lin came to Liu Heng, saluted and said, "Please allow the Fifth War Army camp to pursue the retreating army."

He asked Liu Heng for a fight.

Liu Heng put down the monocular lens in his hand and said to him: "The government army has not been defeated yet. At least more than 10,000 troops will retreat safely. It is not advisable to pursue it at this time."

He did not agree to Wang Lin's pursuit of the withdrawn official army.

Through the monocular, he kept paying attention to the situation of the official army. Although their tiger-shaped flag defeated the official army in two games, they did not kill many enemies.
