After Wu Sangui came down to the city, another shell came, but it hit the marching point a little further away. The cannon was pushed back to its original position and then aimed and fired, which was basically impossible to hit the same position.

Seeing that the cannon at the top of the city had not been fired for a while, Wang Renfu asked the troops to continue to advance. As long as he entered a distance of 400 steps, the current four-inch cannon could also achieve the goal of destroying the city wall. However, the four-inch cannon at this time was still firing, threatening the cannons on the city wall to fire.

However, the cavalry outside the city did not move and kept watching under the city. The artillery on the city walls were not fired actively. Wang Renfu only had two four-inch cannons here, and he focused on the largest cannon. However, the other cannons fired very few projectiles, which only caused limited casualties to the advance teams.

After Wang Renfu's troops set up a bunker at a distance of 500 steps, six three-inch cannons in the army took over the suppression of the city wall, and the four-inch cannons began to move forward. At the same time, people were sent to notify the troops on the West Bank and transfer the other two four-inch cannons to come over, preparing to start bombarding the city wall.

When it comes to siege, they are unwilling to use manpower to climb, as the casualties are too great. It is better to knock down the city wall and then directly climb the city wall. Their crossbows, muskets, tiger squat cannons, and bombs have overwhelming advantages whether they are against enemies on the city wall or against opponents who dare to fight in street battles.

Before the bombardment of the city wall was prepared, the east gate of Funing City opened, and many cavalry and infantry came out. They lined up some of the south side of the city, and then some people came out of the city. After that, the people were escorted by infantry to escape east, and thousands of cavalry were still on guard.

Wang Renfu knew that Wu Sangui was going to escape. However, he had only one thousand cavalry here and had no ability to attack Wu Sangui's thousands of cavalry. Moreover, the infantry phalanx must maintain a good formation so that Wu Sangui's cavalry would seize the opportunity to break through. So he could only notify the troops on the West Bank to come over and then pursue the entire army.

Wu Sangui looked at Li Yan's square formation still in place, and he was a little relieved and a little disappointed. If Li Yan did not move, his infantry and the people would retreat more calmly. However, Li Yan's military formation did not move, and he did not want to consume a large number of cavalry to launch an attack. As a famous general in the world, he was still unwilling to escape like this indiscriminately, but Li Yan did not give him a chance to counterattack, which disappointed him very much.

When Wu Sangui's cavalry also began to retreat eastward, Wang Renfu's troops had not yet gathered together. When Wu Sangui's cavalry retreated, they used this gap to re-form a large square formation and let the cavalry chase first, while the infantry phalanx followed behind.

Since Liang Zhenfang took all the cavalry to pursue, he easily cleaned up the hundreds of Wu Sangui's cavalry provocates who were dragged behind.

Wu Sangui knew how powerful Li Yan's cavalry was, so he had to send 4,000 cavalry to turn around to block it, and he led the large army to continue to retreat east. However, he had already instructed his cavalry to prevent Li Yan's cavalry from catching up with him and never pursue him. The loss in the morning was great enough, causing him to lose more than 600 cavalry, and one cavalry could beat ten infantry. It was a pity to think about it.

Liang Zhenfang slowly retreated with his cavalry, just like he was chasing the Qing army. After Wu Sangui's cavalry rushed forward, they threw bombs behind and fired muskets. In just a short while, before their horse speed was added up, Wu Sangui's cavalry stopped chasing.

After that, they began to turn around and rushed over, and while Wu Sangui's cavalry was not ready, they disrupted the enemy's cavalry units in one fell swoop.

Sure enough, their sudden impact was very smooth, and Wu Sangui's cavalry was in a mess. The people in front retreated, but the people in the back were ordered to line up in place to hedge, and they themselves made their team confused.

Liang Zhenfang and the others rushed over, and a pistol broke up Wu Sangui's team in front of him. Some dodged to both sides, while others rushed directly to their companions behind. They were all panicked and just wanted to seek protection from their companions.

Wu Sangui's cavalry was still elite. The cavalry in the back row began to accelerate under the orders of the officers. They ignored their companions and rushed towards Liang Zhenfang's team. However, when they met their own companions, they just had to pass. When they met the enemy cavalry, they had to wave their weapons to kill them.

However, Wu Sangui's cavalry was still greatly affected. Their horse speed was very slow and they could not borrow horsepower at all. Moreover, after they avoided their companions, they were knocked off by Li Yan's cavalry with a pistol without any reaction.

Liang Zhenfang and their first row of cavalry quickly finished all four handguns. They replaced the steel whip, raised it high, and continued to rush towards Wu Sangui's cavalry. When they encountered the enemy, they just smashed the steel whip down to the enemy on the right, forcing the enemy to make defensive moves. As long as the enemy blocked, their mission was completed, and the rest was left to the companions behind to deal with. They continued to attack at high speed and rushed towards the next enemy.

There were also some under Wu Sangui who were not afraid of death, especially those officers. Some of them did not resist at all, and they also slashed at Li Yan's cavalry. They all knew that once they were on the defensive, they would easily be knocked off the horse in front of waves of enemies, and only attack was the best choice.

So when facing an opponent who is equally brave, the most likely result is that both of them are hit at the same time. In the end, those who are timid and want to change their moves can only be hit miserably, leaving the opponent unharmed. Li Yan's cavalry has chain mail, and as long as they don't fall off their horses, they have a great chance of survival.

Some people are left-handed and attack Li Yan's cavalry on the left. Of course, it is easy to succeed, but they will also be killed and injured by the enemy cavalry on the right.

Amid the rumbling sound of horse hooves, and as the fire of the muskets, the cavalry weapons of both sides collided with a loud sound. The cavalry fell off their horses one by one, and were trampled by countless horse hooves, and their screams were drowned in the sound of horse hooves.

Liang Zhenfang finally rushed out of the Wu Sangui cavalry array. He gasped and looked up and found that there were a group of Wu Sangui's cavalry far east, which seemed to be turning around and coming to this side.

He knew they could not rush, so he took the lead in walking around the south and greeted him: "Go, go back, don't fight."

Fortunately, this area is open enough and has enough roundabout space, otherwise they may be in a dangerous situation of attacking on both sides.

Wu Sangui came here with his servants and cavalry, but at this time he saw that there was only a mess on the ground, and countless unowned war horses were wandering around. In the distance, Li Yan's cavalry formed an attack formation, but the personnel were loading ammunition for their hand guns.

A cavalry brought a horse over and handed the pistol to Wu Sangui, saying, "Bo Ye, this is a short gun used by Li Yan's cavalry."
