Chapter 355: Chasing after victory
"Yes, Marquis!" Xu Hongwei replied respectfully, with a kind of heartfelt respect for Lin Dong. This Marquis who grew up from a poor family was not easy to walk every step.
As the two were talking, Azig's cavalry had already come over, but unfortunately, they had no choice but to face the bright spear and the strong chariot.
What's more, there were muskets constantly firing. Azig led the cavalry to circle in front of the formation but found nothing. Instead, many cavalry were hit by the opponent's muskets and were trampled to death by their companions' war horses in a blink of an eye.
"Damn it, follow me into the battle formation. As long as you break this strange formation, victory will still belong to us."
"Yes, I wish to follow the prince to the death." The soldiers replied loudly.
Under the leadership of Ajige, the Qing army's cavalry continued to run around the periphery of the Anton Army, but unfortunately they could not find the flaws of the Anton Army.
"go ahead!"
Seeing that the Qing army had fewer and fewer cavalry, Lin Dong immediately issued a general order. As the order was issued, the Andong army began to attack the Qing army again.
After the war was fought for so long, the Qing army had long lost its intention to fight. Seeing the Andong army coming, the Ming army commander who surrendered to the past was disorganized first. I don’t know who called out the defeat in the formation. Then the entire army collapsed and the defeated soldiers scattered everywhere.
"It's over!" Looking at the chaos of Qing army, Ajige felt a little cold. He never expected that Anton's army was so powerful. He tried his best to break through the opponent's turtle shell. There was no point in fighting this battle like this, so it would be better to retreat.
Thinking of this, Ajige immediately ran towards the Qing army's camp.
"Retreat, withdraw your troops!" Ajige issued an order to withdraw his troops, and the Qing army immediately changed direction and headed towards the way forward.
"General Xu, it's time for your cavalry to be dispatched!" Lin Dong ordered.
Although the Qing army has not completely failed, the defeated statue has appeared. At this time, as long as the cavalry rushes, it will definitely defeat the army completely.
"Brothers, you may have been itchy after watching it for so long. Now I allow you to kill the enemy freely and earn back the merits of our cavalry!" Xu Hongwei shouted loudly as he ran wildly.
"Run, kill Ajige..."
Suddenly the cavalry army was in full swing. Xu Hongwei said it was right. The infantry had already made great contributions after fighting for so long, but their cavalry had no size. When did they not fight? Could it be that they had to wait until the infantry eliminated the Qing army before launching an attack?
Wouldn't that be laughed to death by that kid Xiong Yue?
When Ajige saw the cavalry of the Anton Army coming, his face immediately became ugly. At this time, the Qing army had no intention of fighting, and it would definitely not work if they resisted. In desperation, they had to fight and retreat while retreating.
Xu Hongwei had already been full of anger, so he naturally refused to let Xu Hongwei escape. At this moment, he said that all the anger in his heart was scattered on the Qing army. A long spear in his hand was dancing so hard that it was impossible to penetrate the wind and rain. There was no general in the Qing army.
"Prince, go quickly, An Dongjun is here!"
"Look at what you look like, is this embarrassing look, is it still my Eight Banners Warrior? Kill me back, kill me back..." Ajige kept roaring.
The generals knew that the situation was hopeless and now that the team had been destroyed, it would be meaningless even if they were killed back. It would be better to retreat temporarily and then make a long-term plan.
Xu Hongwei obviously saw the other party's plan and kept chasing the Qing army, and once the Qing army gathered, he immediately organized elite cavalry to disperse it. The pursuit was not over until dark. At this time, there were less than a hundred cavalry around Ajige, and it was impossible to make a comeback.
Ajige did not expect that the Anton Army would be so powerful that the Qing army was almost completely lost after this battle, which was the greatest shame in his life.
In this way, under the protection of his subordinates, Ajige finally escaped Xu Hongwei's pursuit and fled in a hurry to the north, with heavy casualties from Qing soldiers.
"General, the war damage has come out. This time our army killed 227 people, seriously injured more than 300 people, and slightly injured more than 1,500 people." In the evening, a bookkeeper reported the war damage of this war.
"How are the casualties between the ground?" Lin Dong frowned slightly and sighed in his heart: "It seems that the combat power of the Qing army should not be underestimated. It is the first time that Andong army has died so many soldiers while occupying the advantage of weapons."
"Murder the deceased, and provide family pensions." Lin Dong waved his hand and signaled the letter office to retreat first.
"Marty, you're so happy, so happy." At this moment, Xiong Yue ran in with a look of joy, his face full of joy.
"Oh, let's talk!" Lin Dong asked with a look of Xiong Yue with joy on his face.
"General, this is a war report. This time our army wiped out more than 6,500 Dazi of the Qing army and captured more than 20,000 Qing army."
"Okay!" Lin Dong pounded the table fiercely. This battle greatly damaged the Qing army's vitality. In a short period of time, the troops were no longer able to threaten Nanjing. In this way, he could go north and recover the lost territory with peace of mind.
"Then the command of Huang Degong's army, he ordered him to send troops to guard Wuchang, and the Andong army repaired for two days, and then headed north." Now the danger here has been lifted, and it is time to head north to recover the lost territory.
At this time, the outside of Xuzhou City had already been in chaos. After repeated tugs of warping, countless lives had been ruined on the collapsed city wall. The bodies of these soldiers blocked the hole again and again and were dragged down by the soldiers from both sides.
After two days and two nights of continuous competition, Gao Jie's army had already begun to lose strength, and the Qing army had already begun to rush into the gap.
"Hold it to me, no matter what, you can't let the Qing army enter the city!" Gao Jie roared loudly.
However, at this moment, another loud bang came out, and half of the city wall collapsed on the other side of the city gate.
"Mr., it's not good. Another city wall is stepped on. You should think of a solution!" a soldier reported.
"Method, method, what can I do? Lin Dong, if you don't come to support me, Xuzhou will not be able to defend it." Gao Jie wailed in his heart, but he couldn't say it out.
"Appoint Li Chengdong to guard it for me no matter what, and you must never let a Qing army enter the city." Gao Jie ordered.
"General, General Li was seriously injured and was carried down by the soldiers. Now the wife has taken her men to the top." The soldier said in a crying voice.
"What?" Gao Jie was startled and his hands were slowed down half a beat unconsciously.
However, just as he was stunned, he suddenly felt a chill in his hand and a hole suddenly appeared.
"Your Majesty, you are injured, come quickly, come quickly, come quickly, you are injured." The soldier shouted loudly.
"What are you shouting?" Gao Jie pushed the soldier away, pulled off a piece of clothes and wrapped the wound, and rushed up again.
