At the foot of Xiaobei Mountain, Wang Youxi struggled to support it. After several defeats in the fourth town, there were already heavy casualties. The New Brigade was barely supported. If the B Brigade had not been ahead and blocked most of the pressure on the Qing army for them, I was afraid that the New Brigade, which was adapted from the surrendered soldiers, would have collapsed.

Until now, Wang Youxi could not see any hope of winning, or he could no longer reinforce Xiaobeishan. Now, all he could do was to gather the defense line, gather the soldiers, and keep the formation back slowly towards Liuzhou.

The shouts of killing on Xiaobei Mountain were no longer heard, and even the Qing army's artillery stopped bombarding Xiaobei Mountain. No matter how optimistic it was, Wang Youxi did not think that Xiaobei Mountain was still in his hands.

Shao Jiugong in Liuzhou City sent someone to ask Wang Youxi's opinion. Wang Youxi's reply was that there was no need to send reinforcements out of the city. What Liuzhou has to do now is to organize the next defense of the city, rather than sending troops out of the city without any effort.

In this situation, no matter how many soldiers are sent, it will be useless!

For generals, it is most taboo to add fuel to tactics. If Liuzhou mobilized three brigades to go out to the city to reinforce Xiaobeishan at the beginning, the war would probably not be like this now, but it is useless to regret it now. Before the war, Wang Youxi suggested that more troops be stationed on Xiaobeishan, but Shao Jiugong believed that although Xiaobeishan was an excellent defensive highland and the only passage in the north of Liuzhou City, it was not Liuzhou City after all. The focus of Liuzhou's military strength should be on Liuzhou City, rather than garrisoning heavy troops on Xiaobei Mountain.

This cannot be said to be a mature and steadfast approach. Although Xiaobei Mountain is important, it is not as important as Liuzhou. If you take a step back, Xiaobei Mountain is really lost and the Qing army will never be able to take Liuzhou. As long as the navy on the Liujiang River is there, as long as Liuzhou is not an isolated city, it is undoubtedly a dream to take Liuzhou City by tens of thousands of soldiers from Guoan alone. Therefore, although Wang Youxi felt that it was a bit inappropriate, he did not persuade him.

Now, it is impossible to say that it was an extremely stupid and wrong decision not to station heavy troops in Xiaobeishan at the beginning, because Wang Youxi felt that the purpose of the line Guoan might not be to attack Liuzhou, but to change the offensive and defensive sides to take down Xiaobeishan's Qing army would become a difficult hurdle in front of the Taiping Army in Liuzhou, just like he is now in a dilemma.

Wang Youxi really felt very cowardly now because he was suppressed by the artillery fire of the Qing army. The opponent's cavalry kept coming out to harass and restrain him, making it difficult for him to successfully withdraw the remaining troops of the two brigades.

Since joining the Taiping Army, Wang Youxi has never felt as frustrated as he is today. Even when he was surrounded by the Qing army in Xinhui City, he did not feel so strongly frustrated.

"fire!"

With the command of the officer, the Qing army's gunner swung the torch in his hand quickly, and the fuse suddenly made a "chi" burning sound, like a poisonous snake's apricot. When it reached the end, with a "boom", the flame flashed, and the cannon roared out and smashed towards the Ming army in front.

More than fifty cannons fired volleys, and their sounds moved the world, and their power was amazing. In the black smoke, soldiers who had been supporting the Taiping Army for more than an hour finally began to appear.

"Mingjun can't hold on anymore, don't waste medicine, the horse team follows me!"

The Han army commander Wang Sheng put down the Qianli Miles Miles unsatisfiedly, and he ordered the cavalry to charge without any vagueness.

The cannons were so exciting, but the final battle was solved by the cavalry. Wang Sheng didn't want to throw away the credit he received.

"kill!"

More than two thousand Qing cavalry roared and rushed to the Ming army who were fleeing in all directions with their commanders.

The Ming army was indeed defeated.

The first ones to collapse were the surrendered troops of the New First Brigade. The defeat of the New First Brigade directly affected the B Brigade B, which was maintaining its formation and trying to fight and retreat.

The large-scale rush of the Qing cavalry caused the B Brigade B, which had lost its flank protection, to fall into a tough battle.

Wang Youxi and Li Binglong, the voyage school of Brigade B, were surrounded by the Qing army.

The Qing army divided half of the troops to chase and kill the fleeing Ming army in the Xinyi Brigade, while the remaining cavalry continued to rush the front of the B Brigade under the command of the commander Wang Sheng.

On the battlefield, there were Ming troops crying and calling for their parents everywhere. More than 2,000 soldiers from the New Brigade were running back randomly, and the officers could not suppress the bullet. More than a thousand corpses were standing upside down on the ground, and broken limbs and arms were everywhere. They were all killed by Qing army cannons, fired, and killed by sabers.

In addition to the hundreds of Han troops originally planned to be under the Southern Vanguard, the cavalry led by Wang Sheng was all newly surrendered by Yunnan and Guizhou, and a small number of horse bandits were recruited. These horse bandits were all desperate people, and they were afraid that they would be discounted to fight tough battles. However, everyone was working hard to chase a group of fleeing Ming troops. The sabers in their hands were swinging high, and their eyes were full of ferociousness.

"Die!"

A horse bandit slashed the back of a fleeing Ming soldier and pulled out a long bloody mouth. The Ming soldier ran forward for more than ten steps before he felt a huge pain in his back, and then he leaned forward. The flesh on the back was completely lifted, revealing his thick ribs, slashing from top to bottom, and even more than an inch longer, I am afraid that everyone will be split in half.

The Qing cavalry was chopping and killing everywhere, and the fallen Ming soldiers were everywhere on the battlefield. They were so fierce that they were chasing and excited. The Qing soldiers no longer gathered together, and they ran everywhere. In the rear, more than a thousand Han troops with muskets and more than three thousand Green Camp soldiers rushed up.

The remaining 1,000 soldiers of Brigade B were trapped in a heavy siege, but did not collapse, but firmly resisted the Qing army's repeated storm under the command of the officers.

On the northern front, after Quan Jie and his men arrived, the Qing army finally had a breath of rest after three consecutive defeats. After briefly asking about the specific situation of the battles, Quan Jie frowned and felt that the tactics and weapons of the Ming army with the "Qi" banner were quite similar to the Qi army that had been destroyed in the Hunhe River.

After the Qi family army was wiped out from Hunhe and Sichuan's Baigan soldiers, the Ming Dynasty never reorganized the Qi family army in Zhejiang. It can be said that the Qi family army has become a past history and there is no Qi family army in this world. However, from Xu Tianyou and others' description, the thief scholars in Guangdong seemed to have reorganized the Qi family army again.

Thinking of the performance of the Qi family army in the Battle of Hunhe, the whole festival was a little uneasy. It was a powerful army that even tens of thousands of Manzhou Eight Banners could not defeat. If it weren't for the Liaodong army in the Ming Dynasty who fired fire on the Qi family army and the Baigang soldiers, I'm afraid the winner of the Hunhe Battle would not be Manzhou people, and history would have been rewritten.
