The sudden landing of the Ming army on the river greatly shook the Qing army's will to fight, and the Qing army, which had suffered too much loss due to the bloody battle with the Taiping army, finally failed to carry it to the last moment.
Although the Taiping army in the encirclement was no longer supported, the Qing soldiers no longer had any intention of fighting the Taiping army to the death.
Qin Guocheng, the commander of the battle, chose to withdraw his troops, and he was not sure that he would end the battle with the rest of the Taiping army before the arrival of Ming reinforcements, and then integrate his forces to deal with the attack of the Ming army's naval division.
Qin Guocheng's Goshha was ordered to convey the order to retreat to the Qing army everywhere, and soon, the Han army's banner soldiers and their own soldiers who got the order to retreat began to retreat, but the retreat of the Qing army was not a disorderly retreat, but an orderly retreat, and the various departments could also echo each other.
The rest of Shang's own soldiers insisted on waiting until the banner soldiers had withdrawn for a mile before they began to fight and turn back.
"The Qing Demon is defeated, the Qing Demon is defeated" After discovering that the Qing army had withdrawn, the Taiping army that had escaped death suddenly broke out into cheers, but the first to cheer out was the former Han army flag soldiers in the ranks, who spoke a Liaodong dialect, wielding broadswords and spears there, and were excited.
"Kill" Shao Jiugong shouted excitedly, and without waiting for Zhou Shixiang's order, he waved his knife and rushed forward with his Jiangxi soldiers, intending to chase and kill the fleeing Qing soldiers.
Beating a water dog is a very pleasant light job, effortless and without worrying about being afraid, just follow behind and cut it.
However, after leading his troops to chase a hundred and ten steps, Shao Jiugong had to stop, because he found that although the Qing army on the opposite side was defeated, it was impossible for him to take advantage of the situation to cover up the past.
Moreover, there were only more than 100 Taiping soldiers who chased him out, and the brigade did not move.
With this amount of troops, it was obviously impossible to hunt down and kill the Qing army, which had nearly ten times more troops than them.
"Quickly wave the flag and let the thousand households lead the brigade to catch up" Shao Jiugong was so excited that he asked his soldiers to shake the banner of the majestic battalion.
However, he did not get a response from Zhou Shixiang immediately, but saw the fire in the north.
The fire broke out in the camp where the Qing army was holding young people, and under the black smoke, people could be seen shouting with wooden sticks.
The retreating Qing army also discovered the fire in the north, but did not show a look of surprise and surprise, but only fled eastward.
Zhou Shixiang ignored Shao Jiugong's request to pursue and kill the Qing soldiers, he was watching the retreat of the Qing army from the east, and was also waiting for the sailor to come up.
It's not that he doesn't want to take advantage of the situation to kill him, but the Qing army retreating east has thousands of infantry and two or three hundred cavalry, but he can only mobilize less than 500 remnants.
If you are easy to pursue, if you are not careful, this little force is likely to be swallowed by the Qing army retreating eastward.
"Pass the order, without my order, the departments can't pursue the Qing demon" Zhou Shixiang's order was approved by Qin Zhisheng, he was not carried away by the retreat of the Qing soldiers, on the contrary, he kept enough sobriety, otherwise when Shao Jiugong led people to chase him out, he would have followed him a long time ago.
Chen Qice brought ashore all the soldiers in his naval division who could go ashore, a total of more than 4,000 people, and the rest of the Taiping Army Zhenjing Camp led by Ge Yi totaled more than 300 people.
After the two armies jointly defeated the green battalion of the Qing army stationed along the river, they joined forces to support the battlefield on the eastern front, and along the way, a group of soldiers trapped in the camp and hundreds of healthy women sent by Song Xianggong in the city joined in, and the number alone was several times that of the Qing army in the east.
Such a huge force joined the battlefield, and the Qing army, which was in a bitter battle with the Taiping army, had to retreat.
"The general ordered that all armies fight bravely to kill the enemy and kill the Tartars together with the brothers of the Taiping Army" Linghai General Chen Qice was in high spirits, and successively issued orders, and ordered Wu Yuan, the named chief soldier of Qianhai, under his command: "General Wu Bing, you lead your troops to chase and kill the Tartars who fled on the northern front, and then join the brigade after clearing the enemy in the north, remember, if the Tartars run away, let them go, and do not pursue alone."
"Compliance" Wu Yuan promised loudly and led part of the brigade to the north.
After the order, Chen Qice glanced at his staff master, Hu Deyu, the former magistrate of Taishan: "This arrangement, Zixuan thinks it is appropriate."
"It couldn't be more appropriate for the general to make this arrangement."
Hu Deyu nodded slightly, raised his hand and pointed forward: "The Tartars have cavalry, although there are friendly troops who drag them down, causing them to be forced to retreat, but our army still can't blindly chase and kill, lest the Tartar dog jump over the wall and fight with me, although our army has a great victory, but the soldiers are good at water warfare, weaker than land warfare, and if you really want to fight with the Tartars in the field, it may not last." ” "Zi Xuan said very much."
Chen Qice waved his hand and smiled, waved his hand and instructed his subordinate generals: "A few generals will go to war now, and they must completely drive away the Tartars, so that they will no longer have the heart to watch Xinhui." ” "Yes, General" Staff General Zhou Sheng and others hurriedly clenched their fists and left, and soon, the officers and men of the sailors who went ashore concentrated their main forces to kill in the east.
When the Ming army, armed with broadswords and spears, fearlessly pursued and killed, the Qing army that fled north collapsed.
Except for some guards of the former Guangdong Ming Army, most of the people who participated in the Linghai General Chen Qice's naval division were Guangdong fishermen who had a broken enmity with the Qing army.
In the past few years, under the suppression of the Qing army in Guangdong, the officers and men of the naval division had no choice but to retreat to the island, and at this moment there was an opportunity to land again and fight a bloody battle with the Qing army.
"Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars, and avenge our relatives" The shouts resounded through the sky, and none of the thousands of Qing troops who fled on the northern front had the courage to turn around and block the sailors, and soon, the Qing army was caught up by the officers and soldiers of the sailors led by Wu Yuan, and they were slashed and killed, and the Qing army piled up hundreds of corpses, and more than 1,000 people surrendered, and the rest panicked and fled for their lives.
"No Run, No Run" Wang Shiqing, who had just escaped from the river, scolded angrily and waved the horse whip in his hand, and kept beating the defeated soldiers who retreated, and his own soldiers were also trying their best to stop the rout, but they couldn't stop the group, and when they saw that the Ming army had rushed towards him in the dark, Wang Shiqing also understood, knowing that he couldn't stop those Ming troops, he decisively left those defeated soldiers, beat his horse and turned his head and galloped, and never looked back.
The defeat of the army was like a mountain, and the collapse of the whole line caused by the Qing army on the northern front after the Zhenghuang banner soldiers and the supervising pacesetters took the lead in escaping finally met the consequences at this time, and Wu Yuan, the named general soldier, only used more than 1,000 troops to beat thousands of Qing troops in front of him like rabbits.
On the ground for several miles, there was chaos everywhere, and there were Qing soldiers who knelt down and surrendered, and few Qing soldiers had the courage to resist the Ming army.
The Zhenghuang Banner soldiers and the Governor Fu marked the advantage of being the first to run, and by the time the battalion soldiers behind were basically killed by the Ming army, they had already run out of several miles.
Seeing this, Wu Yuan, who remembered the old general's instructions, no longer pursued, and hurriedly divided a force to guard the prisoners, and then led the rest of the soldiers and horses to the eastern front to kill. oshow7 t1706231537:
