Looking at the retreating soldiers, the surrounding soldiers loaded their bullets one after another.
He started shooting at the fleeing soldiers.
One by one, the soldiers left dozens of corpses behind and fled!
"Clean a battlefield! Let's move on!"
Li Yan's face looked a little unsightly. His soldiers had just lost a lot of people. Obviously, the training of his army was not enough!
I heard that when the First Guards Army used this formation to deal with cavalry, there would basically be very few casualties.
It shows that my own soldiers and myself still don’t quite understand this formation!
Thinking of this, a wry smile flashed in Li Yan's eyes.
Soon, the statistics of the surrounding soldiers cleaning the battlefield came out!
More than 2,500 corpses were left on the opposite side, most of them killed by musketry. Then they suffered four to five hundred casualties. Some of them were frightened when the horses charged and failed to maintain their formation.
And some people were simply hacked to death by the people on the opposite side.
The loss is not small!
Li Yan's face is not very good-looking. They are now very dependent on muskets and are very difficult in close combat. In the future, Duduo must train his soldiers!
In addition to the thousands of people who surrendered to him in the previous invasion, the Ghost Face Army has now absorbed two thousand elites from his wife, the Red Lady.
Also, they are recruiting troops these days, and now there are more than 13,000 people!
Many are new recruits who have never been on the battlefield.
With the old and the new, it’s pretty good to be able to maintain this battle-loss ratio right now!
Thinking of this, Li Yan glanced at the soldiers who were resting next to him. He could clearly see that some of the new recruits had a look of fear in their eyes.
New recruits are always afraid of the battlefield!
"Take a rest and hurry up to Daming Mansion! The situation there is more dangerous!"
Li Yan shouted to the soldiers around him.
Liu Laosi glanced at the new recruits around him.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Several recruits beside Liu Laosi shouted.
Because he was an elite member of the Red Lady's army, when the army was expanding, he became the squad leader of several new recruits, which gave him a certain position!
"You guys are cowards! We have more people than the other side, we have better food than the other side, and we have such reliable muskets in our hands. What do you guys have to be afraid of!"
Liu Laosi said angrily to the new recruits around him.
At this time, the surrounding recruits slowly returned to the team and slowly followed the large army. At this time, the surrounding recruits looked at Liu Laosi with a trace of curiosity in their eyes and asked curiously: "Squad leader,
So many cavalry rushed over.
Aren’t you afraid?? We are scary! Although there is a steel knife on the gun in your hand, it is a man, horse and instrument rushing towards you! Are you really not afraid??”
The new recruits around asked Liu Laosi curiously.
"Afraid? What is there to be afraid of??"
Liu Laosi walked in front with a few recruits beside him.
"You don't know! When we were bandits, the horses of the army were even more fierce than this! Do you know what we ate at that time? We ate multigrain porridge! Then we added wild vegetable dumplings! Normally
It is simply impossible to eat a piece of meat!
And more importantly, what were we holding in our hands at that time? Bamboo poles! It was just a piece of iron tied to the bamboo poles! It was impossible to pierce the cavalry of the officers and soldiers!
At that time, we had to fight! Look at us now. We eat meat and hold guns. After firing the gun safely, look at us, we can also use it as a knife.
What is there to be afraid of? Your Highness the Crown Prince has raised us for so long, when have you ever eaten such good food? Weared such fine clothes? As the saying goes, a scholar will die for his confidant! Your Highness the Crown Prince has been good enough to us!
Even if we are treated so well now, His Highness the Crown Prince will still help us support our family even if he dies. Is there such a good person as His Highness the Crown Prince these days? Isn't it the worst possible outcome?"
Liu Laosi said nonchalantly to the few recruits around him.
"You guys! Don't be ignorant of your blessings! The treatment of our troops is already among the best in the world!"
As he spoke, Liu Laosi's eyes showed emotion.
The soldiers around them all had a thoughtful look in their eyes.
The army advanced silently.
Soon, the army arrived outside Daming Mansion.
"who??"
Above the Daming Mansion, Li Dashan tensed up and shouted alertly toward the city wall, all the muskets were loaded!
"Brother Dashan! It's me!"
At this time, Li Yan under the city wall had a smile on his face and shouted loudly towards Li Dashan above the city wall.
After hearing Li Yan's words, Li Dashan immediately relaxed.
"It's Brother Li!"
Li Dashan had a smile in his eyes.
Li Dashan has not slept since last night. During this period, he has encountered several waves of attacking teams, but he was barely repelled by Li Dashan.
If they are harassed like this, they won't even be able to sleep. After all, there are only more than 10,000 people, and there will be big holes in the defense!
Fortunately, reinforcements have arrived now!
Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on Li Dashan's face. He quickly walked down from the city wall and greeted Li Yan and others with enthusiasm in his eyes.
Li Yan jumped off his horse and said to Li Dashan with a smile on his face: "Brother Li, this battle is simply earth-shattering! It's amazing! It's really amazing!"
"What's this..."
Li Dashan looked at Li Yan with a wry smile on his face and said: "I just did some trivial things that are not worth mentioning. There is nothing to say! Fortunately, you come to help at this time, we are too
It’s necessary, our soldiers have not slept all day and night, and they have also participated in fierce battles. They need a rest now!"
"Well! You all go down and rest! My soldiers will take over the city defense! When you wake up, we will take over the city defense!"
Li Yan said straightforwardly to Li Dashan in front of him.
Li Dashan nodded, with a smile on his face and said to Li Yan in front of him: "Then I'll bother you!"
"kindness!"
Li Yan nodded.
Having said that, Li Dashan did not hesitate. After taking Li Yan and others into the city, he quickly took the soldiers down to rest.
Li Yan's Ghost Face Army quickly began to take over the city defense.
At this time, the cavalry from other prefectures and counties in Daming Prefecture and those stationed further away finally arrived!
Begin the siege!!!
It is impossible for a key state capital like Daming Mansion to fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty so easily!
