Lin Ziran didn't pay attention to Luo Mazi, no matter who hit it, anyway, the other party's company commander was killed by a shot.

This was a great thing, because Lin Ziran saw that the other party's queue was already in chaos, although there were deputy company commanders and adjutants trying to reorganize the queue and move on.

However, after more than a dozen people were shot and killed, and even their own company commanders were killed, but their own people did not even have a chance to shoot, many soldiers were shaken.

Seeing that the enemy's attacking troops were shaken, Lin Ziran turned his head to look at Luo Mazi, and then nodded slightly!

Luo Mazi saw Lin Ziran's nod, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "It's all adults who are in good command, if it wasn't for the adults and villains sniping each other just now, there would definitely be no such opportunity!" ”

Lin Ziran did not ignore Luo Mazi's praise as usual, but said lightly: "I know! ”

Luo Mazi was obviously a little unexpectedly surprised by Lin Ziran's reaction.

In the past, Luo Mazi also touted it every day, but Lin Ziran generally didn't react.

Now that Lin Ziran answered, Luo Mazi didn't react for a while, and his face obviously became more excited.

Lin Ziran didn't go to see Luo Mazi at this time, because the Guang'an rebels on the opposite side had already regrouped to attack after a commotion.

And two more companies on the left and right joined in.

What's more, the other side clearly noticed that the range of their muskets far exceeded their smoothbore guns, and the soldiers had already increased their speed under the command of the officers, and even in order to accelerate, they didn't care much about the integrity of the formation.

Seeing this situation, Lin Ziran knew it was time to retreat.

Although your own Mini rifle has the advantage of range, but now the distance between the two sides is only two or three hundred meters, this distance The other side is not obsessed with the integrity of the formation, but directly launched a rapid charge, it will not take long to rush over.

As soon as the distance between the two sides is shortened, then the situation is very bad for yourself.

As long as the opponent is within 100 meters, he can use a smoothbore gun to counterattack, and then the range advantage of his own Mini rifle will be completely lost.

As for saying that the other party rushed to a closer distance, or even launched a bayonet charge, Lin Ziran dared to use Luo Mazi's head to guarantee that his side would definitely collapse instantly.

In order to avoid any accidents, Lin Ziran ordered without hesitation: "Withdraw!" ”

The original plan was to fight a wave at a long distance and retreat when the enemy reacted, not to pursue how many enemies to kill, nor to directly stop the enemy.

Now it has been a successful wave, and the sum of the front and back has almost killed and injured more than ten people on the other side, which is enough.

Hit a wave and run, this is an established tactic.

When Lin Ziran ordered the retreat, the officers at all levels also followed the plan they had made before, and immediately turned around and ran away with their troops.

It's just that the retreat was relatively orderly at the beginning, but just a few minutes later, what Lin Ziran saw was a swarm of brainless flies running around.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ziran was not angry, and some were just helpless.

The current Qingshan Patrol Battalion is still useless.

A tactical retreat that has been arranged a long time ago can even retreat like this, and those who don't know come over to take a look, probably thinking that their Qingshan patrol battalion has been beaten and collapsed.

At this time, if the other side has a light cavalry to pursue, it is unknown whether this patrol battalion of his own can escape back.

Fortunately, there were no cavalry on the other side.

And Lin Ziran also personally led a row of nearly fifty cavalry behind the palace, so he finally didn't have to worry about the pursuit of the other party's cavalry.

Although there is no difference between retreating and collapsing, it is good to say that they finally retreated, and their intended retreat direction was to run directly into the mountains and forests, and if the other party wanted to pursue, they would not be able to maintain the formation, and it was estimated that they would have to worry about some ambush or something.

Therefore, the Guang'an rebels in the rear pursued for a while and then stopped the pursuit.

After the retreat was completed, when Lin Ziran gathered his troops at the predetermined location, hundreds of people failed to withdraw to the predetermined location.

This made his liver ache with anger!

This total retreated a distance of 1,000 meters, although it is said to be retreating in the mountains and forests, but it will not be lost!

But the facts were in front of him, and after a tactical retreat of more than 1,000 meters, hundreds of people really failed to retreat to the predetermined location.

Lin Ziran had to send detectives to search nearby.

Fortunately, although they couldn't reach the predetermined location, they were all nearby, and the scouts ran to find them.

After gathering more than 100 people, Lin Ziran continued to hurry with everyone, and they were going to the next scheduled ambush site to fight again.

Their task is to delay the southward escape of this Guang'an rebel army, and if they can't bear the frontal resistance, they can only use this harassment tactic.

This time, because the terrain was not very good, the shooting was more than 400 meters away, and not a single Guang'an rebel army was hit, but it forced the Guang'an rebels to re-launch the battle formation and send a small force to search.

In this way, their marching speed naturally slowed down.

By the time the evening came, Lin Ziran had already led his troops to fight several harassment battles, and there were few Guang'an rebels hit, but when his side retreated, a few fools either sprained their feet or slipped and fell down the hill.

If you don't count the first successful ambush, only counting the next few ambushes, Lin Ziran and them, as the party that took the initiative to attack and attack, estimated that the other party's combat casualties would be so many more.

But this is not important, the important thing is that Lin Ziran successfully led the Qingshan Patrol Battalion to slow down the march of this group of more than 500 Guang'an rebels.

Although the process of tactics is not good-looking, Lin Ziran is still quite satisfied with the result.

When it was close to nightfall, Jian Liangzhi's herald arrived again and sent a letter, first Jian Liangzhi praised Lin Ziran's delaying tactics, and secondly, he said that the main force led by him would carry out a forced march in the early morning of the next day, and strive to catch up early tomorrow morning, and if the Guang'an rebels escaped, let Lin Ziran be sure to hold them back.

Lin Ziran immediately replied that the Ministry of Labor would definitely hold back the enemy's pace, and that if the Guang'an rebels wanted to run, they would have to step on his corpse first, and wished Jian Liangzhi a great break in the thief army early tomorrow morning and establish an immortal meritorious service.

After this day's delayed battle, Lin Ziran still has some confidence in how to hold back this Guang'an rebel, so he is also full of confidence in replying to the letter.

But in the middle of the night, Lin Ziran got urgent news.

The Guang'an rebels want to flee overnight!
