Then Zhang Zhong spoke, and the rain was full of nai …
"Hide but also hide … we can see the battlefield situation, butch army can also see … the officer can definitely say that he wants us to disperse the city brothers to start retreating and expose our position … butch army artillery fire will destroy them as soon as it smells blood and hungry wolves …"
"Besides, even if we withdraw from the remaining troops in the city … it is impossible to rush out of Xining City in broad daylight, and then we will have to play hardball with the butch army … when the time comes, we will be more easily destroyed by the butch army …"
"Now we have a way, that is, we have to drag it until it gets dark, and the butch army has to withdraw from Xining City … if it gets dark, we can cover up the remnants of the night and withdraw from Xining City …"
After Zhang Zhong finished, Huang Yongzhong was silent …
In front of the fact, he can watch as if two warriors were more than three lives in exchange for one life of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Zhang Zhong’s face around him is dignified, but he is still confident in his own judgment.
He believes that it is necessary to persuade the soldiers to persist for more than half an hour until it is dark … The butch and leopard troops who enter the city will take the initiative to retreat.
There are two specific reasons …
Battlefield Even if two or even three new armies of Gan Ning are replaced by a tiger and leopard army, more than 4,000 new armies of Gan Ning will be killed in battle, and a regiment of the tiger and leopard army will be taken away …
For yourself, the loss of more than 4 thousand people is nothing. You can expand your army by four or five thousand people if you want to casually.
But for the well-trained and well-equipped Tiger and Leopard Army, the loss of a regiment can already be called bone-breaking …
The first to bear the unprecedented heavy losses must be the Tiger and Leopard Army.
For the second reason, it’s even simpler …
Hiding in the dark in broad daylight, the Ganning New Army can cause such huge casualties to the Tiger and Leopard Army, and even worse, it is opaque at night …
If Sun Chengzong, commander-in-chief of the Tiger and Leopard Army, had a little sense, he would not have chosen to fight late …
If you want to enter the city in the dark, the tiger and leopard army will inevitably withdraw …
As time went by, two men in Zhang Zhong and Huang Yong watched as it finally got dark after more than four thousand soldiers died in the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Not to Zhang’s surprise, to avoid the possibility that the Gan-Ning New Army might attack in the night, even if nine musket battalions have already rushed into the center of the city, they need to go further to reach Zhang’s headquarters.
Sun Chengzong still had to take a full face of nai and unwilling to order troops to withdraw from Xining City.
So Xining City, shrouded in darkness, once again became a new army of Gansu and Ningxia …
Even at this moment, the total strength of the Ganning New Army is less than two thousand …
After half a night’s busy work, more than 1,000 people left in the new army of Ganning came to Company commanders mansion’s position …
On the surface, the Gansu-Ningxia New Army suffered heavy losses … More than 10,000 people left less than 2,000 people.
And the butch army outside the city lost less than three thousand people at the very most … In terms of strength comparison, the butch army won.
But Zhang Zhong doesn’t think so …
Although there are less than two thousand people in the front … But these soldiers are all well-trained elites …
They will become a real elite in a short time after adding some new recruits …
What makes Zhang feel more gratified is that there are grenades in the waist pockets of muskets carried by more than 1,000 soldiers.
You know, this is the elite of the Tiger and Leopard Army equipped with firearms, and no amount of money can get it.
With today’s equipment captured on the battlefield, I can form two thousand firearms units that can compete with the Tiger and Leopard Army …
Add yourself and you have 3,000 firearms troops, and you have 5,000 firearms troops …
Five thousand firearms troops can definitely be called high quality for the fighting capacity of the whole Ganning New Army …
Chapter seven hundred and ten Unexpected
Under the cover of darkness, Zhang Zhonghe and more than 1,000 soldiers evacuated Xining City very easily.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Sun Chengzong didn’t want to trap the Gansu-Ningxia New Army to death and wipe out their troops in Xining City.
But because Sun Chengzong is really capable …
Because of the special terrain around Xining city, if Sun Chengzong wants to surround Xining city and trap the Ganning New Army to death, he must divide his troops.
However, once the limited forces are separated, it is inevitable that they will be broken by the Ganning New Army.
Sun Chengzong, who has suffered heavy losses in the daytime attack, will never allow his soldiers to suffer avoidable losses again.
And this gives Gan Ning’s new army to Zhang Zhong … a chance to break through in the dark.
The next day, the Tiger and Leopard Army easily occupied Xining City, which was already alone.
Sun Chengzong has felt that it will become more and more difficult to attack in the face of the loss of almost two muskets in the Fifth Army, which has been blown to waste in front of him …
However, what he didn’t expect was that the Gansu-Ningxia New Army almost gave up all its counties except Xining City for loyal opposition.
Sun Chengzong, who was ready to fight a tough battle, took Ningxia territory for half a month without bloodshed.
And Zhang Zhongzheng, who caused heavy losses to Sun Chengzong, ran away with the crowd and trained the soldiers in the mountains, but he didn’t hear anything outside the window …
Zhang Zhong, governor of Ganning, is located in the secret camp in Dashan, where 5,000 pure firearms troops are personally conducting training. At the same time, a large amount of rations from Sichuan are continuously sent to the camp through secret channels to meet the daily needs of more than 30,000 troops.
After moving the capital to Nanjing, the imperial court lost its consumption and lost its income. Although it was no longer short of food, it would not give Zhang Zhonghui tens of thousands of soldiers a steady stream of military food because of Zhang Zhong’s guarantee.
In addition to Zhang Zhong, the governor of this temporary governor’s office, the imperial court sent a personal messenger to monitor Zhang Zhong’s every move and urge Zhang Zhong to be a soldier of butch and leopard …
What’s wrong with this Zhang Zhongqi? No more rebellion against the tiger and leopard soldiers. Then this imperial court will stop providing food to the Gansu-Ningxia new army and drive it to the wall …
Yu Baoguo has been ready to die in Gansu and Ningxia provinces since he volunteered to come to Nanjing to take care of his relatives.
After arriving at the Ganning New Army, Yu Baoguo was a humble student, but he was not afraid when facing Zhang Zhong, the governor of the army, but he was able to fight for the court.
At this moment, Yu Baoguo is frowning at the door of the camp and looking at Zhang Zhong who personally directs the musketeers to train hundreds of steps away.
