"Boom! Rumble! Bang! Bang! "On the battlefield, the sound of artillery and gunfire are all in one. The smoke of gunfire filled the entire battlefield, and the sound of shouts of killing and screams of pain were hidden under the smoke of gunpowder. The Xinhua army and the Qing army, more than 20,000 people on both sides fought fiercely on the battlefield. In other words, the Qing army was tragically ravaged by the Xinhua army. In the face of the powerful firepower of the Xinhua Army, the Qing Army paid a huge price and was unable to break through the defenses of the Xinhua Army. And, as casualties mounted, the Qing army's attack power began to weaken.

"My lord, let's retreat! If you don't leave, all the armies will lose here. A general said to Dalibao. It is clear that the huge casualties are too much for them to bear. If it continues like this, I'm afraid I'll lose all my money.

"My lord, retreat. The Xinhua Army is too strong for us to defeat them. The other generals also persuaded one after another. This battle caused a great shock to them. Obviously, the strength of the Xinhua Army far exceeded their expectations.

Dalibao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he felt that his face was lost. When he left the city of Guangzhou in the morning, he assured the governor Qi Gong and the general of Guangzhou, A Jing'a, that he would defeat the Xinhua army and win the victory. However, I didn't expect that as soon as the two sides went to war, they suffered such a fiasco. Not only did they not achieve victory, but they also lost their troops. What kind of face does he have to go back to see Qi Gong and Ah Jing'a?

The Eight Banners Iron Rider who was pinned on by Dalibao. It was first bombarded by the artillery of the Xinhua Army, and then intercepted by barbed wire, and then hit by more intensive firepower. More than half of the thousands of cavalry were lost. The rest of the cavalry fled in a panic. The huge loss frightened these children of the Eight Banners, who were usually well-dressed and well-fed, and the courage that they had finally accumulated disappeared cleanly. The rest of the defeated cavalry did not even have time to say hello to Dalibao, so they hurriedly withdrew to Guangzhou. In their opinion, the Xinhua Army has completely become synonymous with the devil!

The losses of the Qing army's 20,000 troops were even heavier. In front of the position of the Xinhua Army, a thick layer of corpses had been piled up. In particular, the sides of the barbed wire fence were almost flattened by corpses. In such a situation. If the Qing army wants to defeat the Xinhua army, it is already impossible. Perhaps, their commander should consider how to escape back to Guangzhou.

"Command the troops. Fall back! Daribao gritted his teeth. In the end, he had to give the order to retreat. In fact, even if he did not order a retreat, the Qing army would not be able to hold out for long. The huge casualties made the Qing army almost on the verge of collapse. If they continue to fight, they will have to collapse.

After the order to retreat was given, the Qing army retreated like a tidal wave, leaving behind corpses and seriously wounded. I could only wail the wounded soldiers waiting for death. Unlike the Xinhua Army, which would not abandon its comrades-in-arms, the Qing Army would not save others because of it. And put yourself in it. These guys, one by one, spread their feet and fled for their lives, and they were faster than when they attacked.

"Order the troops, pursue! The greatest possible way to keep these Qing troops behind. Brigadier General Zhao Mingfu ordered. At this moment, a smile of victory had already appeared on his face. At this point in the battle, the Xinhua Army has already laid a victory. Next, it's time to expand the gains.

The Xinhua Army, which had been on the defensive, began to pursue. They crossed the barbed wire fence and pursued the fleeing Qing troops, shouting while shooting the fleeing Qing troops: "Surrender the guns and don't kill!" ”

Some Qing soldiers who could not escape listened to the words of the Xinhua army, put down their weapons, and surrendered to the new Chinese army. The Xinhua Army fulfilled its promise and did not kill them. This gave the other Qing soldiers hope for survival. Before the battle began, their officers declared to them that the Xinhua army did all kinds of evil and was very murderous, and if they were caught by the Xinhua army, they would die a certain death, and life would be worse than death. Only by fighting desperately and defeating the Xinhua Army will there be a chance to survive. This is also the reason why many Qing troops fought desperately.

The role of example is endless, and when some Qing soldiers began to surrender to the Xinhua Army, others also surrendered to the Xinhua Army. Since you have lost the battle, even if you flee back, you will definitely be punished, and if you don't do it, you will lose your life. If you surrender to the Xinhua army and can save a life, it will be good. However, now it seems that the Xinhua Army is not as vicious as those in charge of the officials. After all, everyone is a Chinese with black eyes, black hair and yellow skin, and it is easy to identify with them. The only difference was that the soldiers of the Xinhua army wore steel helmets, while the soldiers of the Qing army dragged long braids.

Dalibao and other generals, escorted by the guards, rode horses and took the lead in escaping the battlefield. This directly caused the Green Battalion to lose its command, and in the confusion, many troops even surrendered to the Xinhua Army in formations.

The battle lasted until the afternoon. Of the more than 20,000 Green Battalion soldiers, less than 1,000 were able to escape back to Guangzhou City, and the rest were either killed in the battle or surrendered to the Xinhua Army. Among them, more than 13,000 surrendered to the Xinhua Army, much more than the number of people killed in battle.

The victorious Xinhua Army began to reward the battlefield, that is, the wounded officers and soldiers on both sides had to be treated, and the soldiers who died in the battle also needed to be buried. Although it is already autumn, the weather in Guangdong is hot, and if the corpses are not disposed of, I am afraid that a plague will occur. In the future, this will be the territory of the New China Kingdom, and of course the Xinhua Army will have to take care of it.

In this battle, the losses of the Xinhua army were not large, and the casualties were less than 100 people. This was all caused casualties to the Xinhua army when the Qing army rushed to the barbed wire fence and found that it could not rush through, and when they used shotguns to shoot at the Xinhua army. The range of the shotgun is not far, only sixty or seventy meters. The power is not as powerful as the rifles of the Xinhua Army. Therefore, the soldiers of the Xinhua Army died very little, and most of them were wounded.

Because of the heavy cleanup, the 5th Brigade of the Xinhua Army had to stop and did not continue its march towards Guangzhou until the next morning. However, when the news of the Qing army's crushing defeat reached Guangzhou, the entire city of Guangzhou seemed to explode. From the governor to the common poor, everyone panicked. People who have access to the road want to escape from Guangzhou. However, Qi Gong, the governor of Liangguang, ordered to strictly guard the gates of Guangzhou, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, so as not to take the opportunity for the Xinhua army to sneak into the city.

After Da Libao led his army to the expedition, Qi Gong, the governor of Liangguang, and Ajing'a, the general of Guangzhou, stayed at the city gate, waiting for the news of the victory of the army. Busy official business has been temporarily pushed aside. In their opinion, nothing is more important than defeating the Xinhua army.

After listening to Ah Jing'a's analysis, Qi Gong was very optimistic about the outcome of this battle. He thought he had a seventy percent chance of winning, which was already very good. It is estimated that soon, you will receive the good news. If they can hold the city of Guangzhou under the attack of the Xinhua army and hold out until the reinforcements arrive, then these people will be the great heroes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty! When the time comes, Daoguang Emperor Long Yan Dayue, will there be less of their reward?

When the interest came, Qi Gong even chanted a poem on the head of the city to express his desire for victory for the Qing army.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, a group of small black dots appeared on the edge of the sky, and at the same time the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was heard. Qi Gong and Ah Jing'a, who were already waiting a little impatiently, both lifted their spirits at once. The heavy shelling from the south kept coming, and the two of them were terrified. Because when Daribao went out on the expedition, he did not carry artillery. The artillery of the Qing army is too heavy, and the army will delay the speed when it goes out with artillery. There is only one possibility, and that is the artillery of the Xinhua Army. Qi Gong and Ah Jing'a could only pray that the Qing army would win.

Slowly, the cavalry approached. However, Qi Gong and A Jing'a at the head of the city were dumbfounded. What appeared was the Eight Banners Cavalry, but these Eight Banners Iron Cavalry no longer had the vigor they had when they went out, and most of the numbers were less than half, not to mention that these people who fled back lost their armor and looked very embarrassed. Many of them were still covered in blood. Needless to say, they had suffered a terrible battle, and besides, they had been defeated and fled.

After realizing this result, Qi Gong, the governor of Liangguang, shook his body and almost fell on the head of the city, this result was too far from what he expected, making him a little difficult to accept. However, Guangzhou General A Jing'a was born as a military general after all, and his psychological quality is a little better.

"What the hell is going on? Call me back right away! Ajinga stood at the top of the city and shouted loudly.

"General! We failed, the firepower of the Xinhua army was too fierce, and our attack was completely like suicide. A thousand brothers, that's all we have left. An officer of the Eight Banners cavalry replied.

"What about the Green Camp? What about Darribao? Ah Jing'a asked anxiously.

"General, the losses on the side of the Green Battalion are even heavier, and it is estimated that they will not last long. General Dalibao has no choice, the Xinhua army is too strong, we are not their opponents! The officer of the Eight Banners Cavalry replied with a dejected face. This defeat made them lose all the confidence to be beaten!

"Damn, how can this be?" Ah Jing scolded bitterly.

"It's over, it's all over now. Dari is sure to mistake me! Qi Gong, the governor of Liangguang, lamented. Da Libao led his army to the expedition, but not only did not win, but suffered a crushing defeat, which made the city of Guangzhou empty. Once the Xinhua army comes to Guangzhou City, even if Guangzhou City has a strong city wall, but in the case of a lack of troops, it is impossible to resist the attack of the Xinhua army stationed in Guangzhou!

Guangzhou General A Jing'a also turned pale, and it was obvious that he had also thought of this result. (To be continued......)
