[Chapter 975 Great Retreat]

Yulin.

When the Lancers led by Chen Hu were advancing here, the Beidi vanguard cavalry arrived here first.

At the same time, Ma Han, who is located in Yulin County, also got the battle situation from Lingwu County.

It was the cavalry unit of the Central Army responsible for conveying the situation on the battlefield that delivered the letter to him.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the order from Yongcheng also arrived.

General Chang Wei ordered him not to wait for the Central Army, but to attack immediately and defeat Ashur’s troops.

Obviously, the Central Army also sent people to send Chang Wei the battle situation in Lingwu County.

“Prepare to fight immediately!” After receiving Chang Wei’s order, Ma Han no longer hesitated.

During this period of time, his White Tiger Army and Ashur’s troops would fight here every day.

Basically Ashur’s soldiers charged and were repelled.

This is exactly their intended plan, to consume the enemy’s forces with a defensive advantage.

Now that the main force of Beidi in Lingwu County has been defeated, there is no need to continue playing cat and mouse.

He was going to eat Ashur in one bite.

At this moment, the cavalry in charge of reconnaissance returned, and Ma Han asked, “How many people are there in the forward of Mule Hongzhen’s troops who arrived in advance?”

“General, about 80,000 people.” The cavalry replied.

John nodded.

Mule Hongzhen retreated from Lingwu County, and his army had both infantry and cavalry.

It is impossible for such a cumbersome team to arrive together.

In order for Ashur to get the news in advance, some cavalry will inevitably go first.

“Mu Lehongzhen was treated badly by the Central Army this time, and he could only send out this few cavalry.” Ma Han laughed twice.

In front of the Central Army, he also has no temper.

After all, Chang Wei led the army of the Wangfu all the way to conquer the entire Northwest.

Therefore, even if he is now in charge of the White Tiger Army alone, he will be honest in front of the Central Army.

The decree on one side scratched his head, and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

Then he said: “General, the Xuanwu Army also participated in the battle in Lingwu County, and will make a contribution at that time. We can’t be pulled down by them. We can’t compare with the Central Army, can we not compare with his Xuanwu Army? ?”

“That’s true.” Mahan suddenly came to his senses.

Their five armies are all competing with each other, and no one wants to be inferior to the other.

Thinking of this, he rushed to the trench fortifications in the north.

He breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the Ashur soldiers in the opposite ditch hadn’t withdrawn and there was no movement in the camp.

Snatching the trumpet from the bugle beside him, he puffed up his cheeks and blew the charge horn.

When he was young, because Mahan had a good life, he was very interested in various musical instruments.

After the reorganization of the army, each army had a trumpeter, and he mastered the skill after playing with the trumpet.

“Beep beep beep… beep beep…” The clear and high-pitched chant sounded.

The soldiers of the White Tiger Army who were lying in the trench were refreshed for a while.

Muscles tensed up, and they crawled out of the ditch like cats and rushed out.

The counterattack begins immediately!

now.

In the northern camp, Ashur hadn’t recovered from the shock.

He asked Bamdan six times, before he could hardly believe the cruel reality.

The army led by his brother and nephew was defeated, and suffered heavy losses.

The Beidi cavalry gathered around them was less than 100,000, and the infantry was only more than 150,000, and the loss was as high as 70%.

“How is it possible? How is it possible?” Ashur murmured, his eyes widened in fear.

“We had hope of victory. According to Negov’s strategy, we used cavalry to carry powder barrels to achieve some results, but after a strange firearm appeared on the battlefield, everything changed.” Bamutan’s face was gloomy.

Thinking of the cavalry slaughtered by strange muskets on the battlefield, he still has lingering fears.

“Weird musket?” Ashur was puzzled.

Then Bamutan explained again, and he emphasized, “This musket can shoot continuously without stopping at all, and the bullets are really like raindrops.”

Ashur heard this, he suddenly felt a chill.

The breech-loading guns installed by the Dasong army have already suffered enough for them.

Now, with this terrifying musket appearing again, it was no wonder that even his elder brother was defeated.

“This time we arrived first, first to inform you to retreat, and second, to prevent you from being unable to cope with the counterattack of Da Song’s army.” Ba Mudan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, his body trembled suddenly.

He heard a voice that was both familiar and frightening to him.

After listening carefully again, he confirmed that the sound was the strange sound when the Dasong Army in Lingwu County launched a full-scale counterattack.

Ashur’s expression also changed. He realized that the gunshots on the battlefield had become more intensive, and the explosion of grenades and the roar of artillery had also increased.

After rushing out of the tent, he looked in the direction of Yulin.

Just as Bamdan guessed, Dasong’s army is in full swing to counter-offensive.

The Dasong army in dark green uniforms poured out of the trenches like a tide, constantly covering their trenches.

“King Ashur, you must retreat immediately, if you don’t leave, it will be too late.” Bamutan said.

“Hey!” Ashur stomped his foot unwillingly, turned and left, and gave the order to retreat.

Among the three groups of troops, Mule Hongzhen commanded the most troops, followed by him.

When he arrived in Yulin, he had 150,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry.

But after several battles, his infantry suffered heavy losses, only about 120,000, and his cavalry also lost more than 20,000.

Although he did not adopt Negov’s brutal charging method, he also tried to let the cavalry charge into the trench.

The result is obvious, in the case of many losses, without any results, he stopped using cavalry.

Therefore, his cavalry losses were the least.

When his order was issued, the whole camp immediately became flustered.

The cavalry got on their horses one after another, and the infantry arranged their formation and prepared to march westward to meet Mu Lehongzhen’s troops.

As for the soldiers in the trench, Ashur could only discard them and let them resist the Dasong army for a while, lest the Dasong army catch up.

“Boom boom boom…” The war continued.

A large number of cavalry continued to flee from the camp. This scene fell in Ma Han’s eyes, and he even made the soldiers of the White Tiger Army boldly charge.

On the contrary, after the Beidi soldiers in the trench were stunned, their morale dropped to the extreme in an instant.

Facing the attack of the Dasong soldiers, they no longer resisted, but only wanted to chase and retreat with the army.

So there was a chaotic scene of Dasong soldiers chasing and Beidi soldiers running in Beidi’s trench fortifications.

Ashur, who was fleeing from the battlefield, did not dare to look back at the battlefield.

At the moment, a kind of anger, humiliation, and a sense of powerlessness filled his heart.

For more than two hundred years, Beidi has always been the offensive side.

But today, they were driven out of the battlefield by Da Song’s army.

Not only that, but they are not necessarily safe now.

Because, when he was fighting in Yulin, he learned the news that the Beidi cavalry had defeated the Dasong cavalry.

Where is this cavalry? Now they know nothing.
