Lord of Ming Dynasty

Regathering troops, four militia brigades, and the disbanded ordinary brigade, the total strength is no more than 2 people, and the small town has more than 3, 10,000 people, almost killed, most of them were captured, the New Kingdom is here The disastrous defeat, the [-]+ troops on the front line were scattered all over the place. Within a radius of [-] miles, the North American attack was getting closer and closer, but they didn't know where to hide.

The enemy has increased troops, cavalry regiments and infantry brigades, and the enemy has more breakthrough troops. Not only their town has been attacked, but other towns, fortifications, rear roads, and villages on the same front have also been attacked by the enemy. More and more intruding troops were captured, or were being captured, attacked.

The fighting outside the town was fierce, and they frowned inside. This kind of fighting would only consume the troops here, but the command power was no longer with them, but with the sword Dulles.

An enemy regiment held back Dulles' [-] troops, as well as the original four militia brigades here, and the ordinary brigade of [-] troops that just arrived. The four militia brigades here passed by In the previous battles, almost half of them have been lost, and the rest is almost unusable. It can only be used to garrison the town, transport supplies, and guard the road.

Tong Tong and Hua Zan were both worried, but there was nothing they could do. Dulles kept calling for reinforcements. Although the enemy had reinforcements, they were not as strong as him, but he just passively defended, and then summoned more troops to come here. According to what they heard According to the news, there are two ordinary brigades coming from the surrounding area, but they are not rushing to the front line or intercepting the enemy's offensive forces on the two wings. In fact, the enemy may be harassing elsewhere.

This is their guess. The more troops here are gathering more and more, the more and faster the enemy will break through from other places. This is unreasonable.

"Have you noticed that the Han officers in Dulles' ordinary brigade are like wood, without any opinions of their own, and they have not fulfilled their duties, monitoring and restricting Dulles' power, Dulles It’s too much power, and it’s not normal for ordinary mercenary brigades.” Hua Zan bit a piece of foxtail, and Tong Tong stood on the roof of a warehouse, the tallest building in the town, watching the fierce battle in the distance The mountains, said leisurely.

Tong Tong actually understood some things, and he also said, "In this way, we have to prepare early. Dulles may not be restrained, and may be harmful to the kingdom."

Hua Zan said: "I have already sent my confidantes to transfer all the elite officers and soldiers to the militia brigade behind the town, and the brigade commander exchanged some other people to come and make up the number for me. There are hundreds of people, but I can't attract Du Le If you are vigilant against Sri Lanka, you have to prepare early, slowly transfer your troops outside the town, and make up your mind for future changes."

Soon the enemy's artillery fired three rounds, and Tong Tong's militia brigade suffered some damage, but not too much. Can only let them go.

The enemy's cavalry here has already tentatively attacked, and was shot back by a volley of guns, killing and injuring a few people, but next time he knows that the enemy will attack in an all-round way, it is true whether he can hold the infantry behind the enemy.

Crackling, after the enemy tried to attack and bombarded for half an hour, deserters also appeared in the three battalions of Tongtong here. After all, it was more than ten years, and soldiers who hadn't fought in decades. The commander himself was afraid, let alone the soldiers, but the brigade cavalry platoon and the soldiers of the supervising team stopped many scattered soldiers, and after shooting a few, the formation stabilized.

The enemy's infantry began to attack. At this time, a battalion of the militia brigade that resisted was basically wiped out. Tong Tong admired the battalion of the militia brigade. I don't know who their commander is. It seems that they are well-led.

Or the battalion commander is more powerful and has backbone, but no matter what, that troop has been wiped out, and maybe their fate is not much better.

The enemy's troops are not many, but they are relatively elite. When the battle starts, the firepower is fierce. The three battalions here, plus the rout of the brigade that was intercepted, have about four battalions of troops, about 300 people. During the two-hour battle, they had been injured, collapsed, escaped and were shot dead. About [-] people were attrition, and the record of others could not be said to be good.

The enemy's shots were very accurate, and ammunition was wasted for a long time. According to Tong Tong's statistics, the enemy may only have 100 people injured or killed, but in terms of specific statistics, he thinks that there may not be so many. The lost troops, the present strength, Tong Tong feels that the enemy may only lose 500 combat effectiveness, maybe even less, because the enemy's attack strength is increasing, and the cavalry thinks of ways to take advantage of the loopholes.

Tong Tong's brigade cavalry company has lost more than half, so he had to go to the rear to find another cavalry company from the militia brigade to fill the line of defense. The militia brigade commander is also a good friend. He drank a few days ago and the two of them had a bad temper. , Hearing that the cavalry he sent to ask for reinforcements, without saying a word, he pulled up his brigade cavalry company.

However, Tong Tong knew that the enemy could not be resisted here, and the enemy was trying to get around, so he could only send people to retreat the wounded, and at the same time let the battalions cover, retreat their troops to the next location, and block the enemy .

The purpose of Tong Tong is very clear, which is to slow down the enemy's attack. The longer the time, the more reinforcements can be obtained, the more difficult it is for the enemy to complete the task, and the more imperial army troops will be gathered. The brigade, the ordinary brigade, and the militia company are raiding from all sides.

"Major, we have already lost two battalions. We have to retreat to the rear quickly, or we will collapse." His deputy, a captain and battalion commander, said anxiously.

Tong Tong raised his hand and looked at the watch. It was produced by Europeans. Its precision was higher than that produced by New Kingdom. The error did not exceed 2 minutes a day. The best day of New Kingdom’s watch also had an error of 5 minutes. One hour, even the time is messed up, so Europeans are the most patient and patient, which they have to admire.

"Let the first battalion continue to hold on to the top of the hill for half an hour, each company sticks to a hill, and let the other battalions retreat first with the wounded, but leave a platoon of their battalion's elite troops to assist the first battalion in defense, and the others retreat. Go to the entrance of the town." Tong Tong hesitated for a moment before giving the order to retreat. .

Just ten minutes after the retreat order was issued, the second battalion, the fourth battalion, and the rout battalion of another militia brigade that had been gathered withdrew from their positions. Tong Tong saw the enemy infantry pulling field artillery. The pound-caliber field artillery may have failed to keep up with the large troops because of their haste to advance. At this time, it has been three hours since the launch, and the enemy artillery has also rushed over.

Ten minutes later, the enemy's artillery bombarded the hill defended by the first battalion. Tong Tong could only give the order to retreat in an all-round way. Each company left half a platoon for the enemy to watch, and then covered the remaining wounded and other soldiers. The troops retreated, and the brigade headquarters moved only after almost all retreated. At this time, the strength of the brigade headquarters was only one platoon, and they were all cavalry scouts, and they were not full of ranks. Many people were injured.

Chapter 75 Escape

There were not many enemies chasing, which gave Tong Tong and Hua Zan time to gather their forces to attack and resist the enemy step by step. While resisting, they thought about how to find the enemy's gap before the enemy's comb-like attack sequence and escape to safety. place to go.

Cavalry regiments and infantry brigades, the enemy's breakthrough force has increased, not only their town has been attacked, but other towns, fortifications, rear roads, and villages on the same front have also been invaded by the enemy more and more The force is captured, or is being captured, attacked.

The fighting outside the town was fierce, and they frowned inside. This kind of fighting would only consume the troops here, but the command power was no longer with them, but with the sword Dulles.

An enemy regiment held back Dulles' [-] troops, as well as the original four militia brigades here, and the ordinary brigade of [-] troops that just arrived.

Chapter 76 Reassemble

Fleeing here, Tong Tong and Hua Zan began to gather stragglers. There were many ordinary brigade troops, but there were not many weapons and equipment. They also lost contact with the front line. It's like throwing away.

Cavalry regiments and infantry brigades, the enemy's breakthrough force has increased, not only their town has been attacked, but other towns, fortifications, rear roads, and villages on the same front have also been invaded by the enemy more and more The force is captured, or is being captured, attacked.
