Chapter 716: The Performance of Strength
In Xining City, facing victory, all Ganning New Army was in full bloom...
At this moment, thousands of new Ganning troops were cleaning the battlefield with excitement on their faces and harvesting their own fruits of victory.
I never expected that the revenge of the Tiger and Leopard Army outside the city would come so quickly, and I would not give myself any reaction time or opportunity.
"Wuwuwu..." The flowering bullet with a scream had already flew over their heads and was about to hit them. The Gan Ning Xinjun, who was harvesting the fruits of victory, realized that his death had come to them.
However, it was only then that it was too late to react...
The dense flowering bullets did not stop flying because of their fear... Under the gaze of pairs of shocked eyes, they smashed hard beside them and exploded...
Suddenly, hundreds of Ganning New Army who were cleaning the battlefield were submerged in the strong artillery fire...
Sun Chengzong's sudden artillery counterattack, although it caught the Ganning New Army off guard, causing them to suffer a lot of casualties in a short period of time. However, the Xining City where everyone is located is really too big.
Even if the Tiger and Leopard Army shot more than 100 flowering bullets at a time, they can only cover a very small area of Xining City.
Just as the flowering bullets shot by the Tiger and Leopard Army began to extend to the surroundings, the Ganning New Army, who heard the explosion of the flowering bullets, immediately accelerated the speed of cleaning the battlefield. With the captured muskets and grenades, they quickly returned to the cellar they used to hide.
Therefore, in addition to the first causing hundreds or thousands of losses to the Ganning New Army, no Ganning New Army was killed by the Tiger and Leopard Army's artillery fire.
Of course, the fierce artillery fire is not useless at all...
As the artillery fire continued, many ruins in Xining City were directly blown up...
In this way, in the subsequent battles, there will be fewer and fewer places where the Ganning New Army can use to hide. For the Ganning New Army, wars will become increasingly difficult to fight...
Located in the underground command of the General Office of Xining City, Zhang Zhongming was feeling the trembling of the ground under his feet with a solemn face.
The thousands of soldiers under his command successfully eliminated more than a thousand elite Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers. Although it was very pleasant, the fierce artillery fire of the Tiger and Leopard Army immediately woke Zhang Zhongming up from his surprise and understood a fact...
The strength of the Tiger and Leopard Army outside the city is still far greater than that of itself... Not to mention anything else, the artillery that the Tiger and Leopard Army is now using is not something that they can compete with...
If you are blinded by a victory alone, you will sooner or later lose in front of the powerful Tiger and Leopard Army...
Deputy General Huang seemed to see something? He asked Zhang Zhongming directly: "Sir, are you worried that the artillery fire of the Tiger and Leopard Army was too fierce and the soldiers scattered in Xining City could not bear it..."
Zhang Zhongming did not hide it and answered directly...
"The soldiers can escape the first round of artillery fire from the Tiger and Leopard Army, and they can escape the second round... I am worried that after such fierce artillery fire, the ruins in the city can be used to help themselves will become less and less..."
"At that time, the whole battle will become more and more difficult to fight..."
"In addition, in the battle that just ended, the Tiger and Leopard Army lost a regiment of musketeers. In order to retaliate against us and avoid repeating the same mistakes, the Tiger and Leopard Army's second round of attacks must have more than one regiment... So, I am worried that Xining City under our feet will not be able to defend..."
Perhaps God deliberately made things difficult for Zhang Zhongming. The violent explosion of the flower bomb stopped directly between the two people.
Just as Zhang Zhongming had just crawled out of the underground command center and climbed up a broken wall that had not yet been blown up and looked at the east gate.
The Tiger and Leopard Army Musketeers with a total force of more than 4,000 appeared directly in Zhang Zhongming's vision...
The musketeers of three regiments, carrying muskets and artillery, rushed into Xining City in units of battalions...
"The Tiger and Leopard Army is indeed a soldier... The three regiments of troops are really brave..." Zhang Zhongming, whose face changed drastically, couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion as he looked at the dense attacking troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army two miles away.
After that, he directly asked Deputy General Huang beside him: "General Huang, how many people are left of our brothers arranged in the city..."
"I don't know how many brothers and generals are... But, the approximate number of generals can still be inferred..." Deputy General Huang shook his head first, then nodded, and finally answered...
"After the first artillery attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army, we still have more than 8,000 soldiers... and in close combat with the Tiger and Leopard Army, we lost many people before... As for the second artillery attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army, because it came too suddenly, we should have lost more than 1,000 people..."
"So, we will infer that our troops in the city still have about 5,000 people..."
Zhang Zhongming nodded and said with a sad look: "We have more than 5,000 people, and the Tiger and Leopard Army has more than 5,000 people... Even if we are in the dark and the Tiger and Leopard Army is in the dark, we cannot be their opponent... After all, the Tiger and Leopard Army is well-equipped and brought a large number of artillery into the city..."
"So, in this upcoming battle, we must make changes... we can no longer fight head-on with the Tiger and Leopard Army..."
Speaking of this, a trace of seriousness quickly emerged on Zhang Zhongming's face.
At the same time, Deputy General Huang, who was also solemn, decisively ordered: "I will order all brothers in the city to stop seducing the enemy this time... As long as we encounter the Tiger and Leopard Army, we will fight me hard. After the fight, we will never fight and retreat immediately to the location of the General's Mansion."
In this era of backward communication, no one knows whether their military orders have been passed to every soldier in the city.
However, what made Zhang Zhongming feel thankful was that the Tiger and Leopard Army had just stepped dozens of steps into the city, and violent gunfire and grenade explosions began to sound on the battlefield...
However, this kind of gratitude did not last long and was covered by solemnity...
Because the battle in front of me was completely beyond my expectations.
At the beginning of the battle, in the face of the sudden attack, the Tiger and Leopard Army did suffer considerable casualties and fell into a short-term chaos...
However, this situation did not last long, and the situation changed drastically...
The Tiger and Leopard Army, which had been prepared for a long time, subconsciously used muskets to counterattack, grenades emitting white smoke also flew towards the hiding position of the Ganning New Army.
Of course, the artillery that launched an attack with the musketeers was not idle either...
Several light mortars were quickly formed. Immediately afterwards, flowering bullets flew out of the cannon barrel and flew towards the Ganning New Army, which was escaping...
