The forty or fifty subordinates who were scattered around the Tiger and Leopard Army, although they caused almost one platoon of casualties to the Tiger and Leopard Army in a short period of time.[]

However, these forty or fifty subordinates eventually escaped the counterattack of the Tiger and Leopard Army, not even five people...

My subordinates who were hiding in the dark actually suffered greater casualties than the Tiger and Leopard Army...

Faced with this ending, Zhang Zhongming couldn't help but sigh: "This is the ending where training is worse than the other party and equipment is worse than the other party..."

"I hope that after this battle, the equipment we seized on the battlefield will be enough to equip our 10,000 new troops... If some troops that were not in hand, we would sooner or later be defeated by the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

At this time, a scream full of despair was suddenly shouted out by Huang Yongzhong...

"Sir, the battlefield has changed again... Brothers, basically no brothers can retreat safely..."

When Zhang Zhongming turned his attention to the battlefield again, the Tiger and Leopard Army, who were in the bright spot, actually took the initiative in the battlefield...

With the advantage of equipment, whenever there is a little suspicious place, it will be baptized by the double baptism of the tiger and leopard army grenades and flowering bullets...

In this way, the number of attacks on the Tiger and Leopard Army has become very few.

More importantly, these few sneak attackers just launched an attack on the Tiger and Leopard Army, revealing their figure...

The hand grenades equipped by the Tiger and Leopard Army, the flowering bullets... It was like you didn't have money, flying towards them...

Looking around, the other attacking troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army were also slowly gaining the initiative in the battlefield during the battle...

During the attack, regardless of whether there was a lurking Ganning New Army in front of them, there were a series of flowering bullets and grenades on the way up...

In this way, the casualties of the soldiers under his command continued to rise like a straight line... and the casualties of the Tiger and Leopard Army's attacking troops became less and less...

"This is the manifestation of strength. In the face of real strength, any conspiracy will be crushed..." Zhang Zhongming, who stared at the battlefield with his eyes, subconsciously sighed..."

Faced with the battlefield changes, Zhang Zhongming was able to maintain the minimum calmness... However, Huang Yongzhong, the deputy general around him, did not have such good patience.

Seeing the Tiger and Leopard Army rushing towards the center of the city on the battlefield, Huang Yongzhong couldn't help but shout: "Sir, the firepower of the Tiger and Leopard Army is too strong, brothers can't escape... What should we do next... Are we just watching the brothers be killed..."

At this time, Zhang Zhongming spoke, his words filled with helplessness...

"If you can't hide, you have to hide... We can see the situation on the battlefield, and the Tiger and Leopard Army can also see... I can say for sure that as long as our brothers scattered in the city start to retreat and expose their own position... The artillery fire of the Tiger and Leopard Army will be like a hungry wolf who smells blood, and use artillery fire to destroy them as soon as possible..."

"Besides, even if we withdraw from the remaining troops in the city... it is impossible to rush out of Xining City in broad daylight. At that time, we will have to fight head-on with the Tiger and Leopard Army... At that time, we will be more likely to be eliminated by the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

"So, now we have only one way, that is, to drag it until dark, until the Tiger and Leopard Army has to withdraw from Xining City... As long as it gets dark, we can gather the remaining parts under the cover of night and withdraw from Xining City..."

After Zhang Zhongming finished speaking, Huang Yongzhong was silent...

In the face of facts, he could only watch the warriors under his command, using two or even three lives in exchange for one life in the Tiger and Leopard Army.

As for Zhang Zhongming beside him, although there was a lot of solemnity on his face, he was still very confident in his judgment.

He believed that as long as the soldiers under his command lasted for more than half an hour, until dark... the Tiger and Leopard Army entering the city would take the initiative to retreat.

As for the specific reasons, there are two...

On the battlefield, even if two or even three Ganning new troops replaced one Tiger and Leopard Army, more than 4,000 Ganning new troops could take away the forces of a regiment of the Tiger and Leopard Army...

For me, the loss of more than 4,000 people is nothing? As long as I am willing, I can expand my army of four or five thousand people at will.

However, for the well-trained and well-equipped Tiger and Leopard Army, the loss of a regiment can be regarded as a trauma...

Therefore, in the face of unprecedented heavy losses, the first thing that cannot bear is the Tiger and Leopard Army.

As for the second reason, that's even simpler...

In broad daylight, the Ganning New Army hiding in the dark can cause such huge casualties to the Tiger and Leopard Army, not to mention the night when you can't see your fingers...

As long as Sun Chengzong, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Army, was still a little rational, he would not choose to fight at night...

Therefore, as long as it gets dark, the Tiger and Leopard Army entering the city will inevitably retreat...

As time passed little by little, Zhang Zhongming and Huang Yongzhong watched as more than 4,000 soldiers under their command died in battle at the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and the sky finally darkened.

It was not beyond Zhang Zhongming's expectations. In order to avoid the possible attack by the Ganning New Army in the dark, even if the nine musket battalions had already advanced to the center of the city, they only needed to go further and attack Zhang Zhongming's command.

Sun Chengzong still had to order the troops to withdraw from Xining City with helplessness and reluctance on his face.

Therefore, Xining City, shrouded in the night, once again became the world of Ganning New Army...

Even at this moment, the total strength of the Ganning New Army was less than 2,000 people...

After half a night of busyness, the remaining 1,000 new troops of Ganning were all concentrated at the General Office...

On the surface, the Ganning New Army suffered heavy losses... Only more than 10,000 people were left in front of them.

The Tiger and Leopard Army outside the city lost less than 3,000 people... In terms of military strength, the Tiger and Leopard Army won.

However, Zhang Zhongming doesn't think so...

Although there were less than two thousand subordinates standing in front of him... but these soldiers were all elite soldiers who fought for a hundred battles without exception...

Based on them and adding some new recruits, they will definitely become truly elite in a short period of time...

What made Zhang Zhongming even more gratified was that the muskets carried by more than a thousand soldiers and the grenades contained in the bag on their waists.

You know, this is a firearm that only elite Tiger and Leopard Army has equipped. No matter how much money it costs, it is impossible to get it.

With the equipment seized on the battlefield today, I can form two thousand firearm troops that can be comparable to the Tiger and Leopard Army...

With the three thousand firearms troops I already have, I have five thousand firearms troops...
