At this time, An Ning encountered the same problem as when he was playing horseback riding and slashing: the knife was too short and he couldn't cut anyone on horseback.
He took the girls and rushed towards the scattered enemy. The girls passed behind the enemy and raised their swords, then fell down. He passed behind the enemy, and the enemy continued to run away like nothing happened.
He ran past several people in succession, but failed to cut down any of them. Finally, he got angry and tried to knock down a person with his horse. However, the horse looked like it was about to hit the person, so it stood up straight away, almost not knocking him down.
On the ground.
An Ning comforted the horse in shock, and looked at the girls who had passed ahead and slashed the scattered enemies wantonly, and cursed "fuck".
If it was in Mount and Blade, he would have already picked up his usual Changyue Sword.
Because there was really no one to cut, An Ning did not urge the horse to run wildly, but let the horse run freely at a small pace and wander around the battlefield.
He saw the blue self-defense soldiers driving the black soldiers like sheep and stabbing them to death in the fields with bayonets.
Some soldiers in black raised their hands and surrendered, but were stabbed to death by angry soldiers in blue.
Apparently seeing the hanged patriot before filled every National Guard soldier with rage.
This is a revenge, in which the self-defense soldiers respond to the enemy's cruelty with killing.
Christina and Clarice turned back at this time and came to An Ning.
Christina smiled and said: "Congratulations, you won a clean victory."
An Ning nodded: "It's nothing. The enemy has no artillery and cavalry. It's natural for us to win."
Clarisse: "Although there was a little mistake."
This small flaw naturally refers to An Ning's failure to designate an offensive commander, resulting in his troops not shooting before charging.
An Ning: "It's a small problem, just improve it next time."
At this time, Second Lieutenant Russell ran over and saluted An Ning: "Your Excellency, Captain, we have won! We have defeated far more enemies than us!"
An Ning: "Yes, we won. What you have to do now is to make the troops stop chasing the enemy and gather the troops. Don't let everyone disperse by then."
"Understood, Captain, I'm going to gather the troops right now. In fact, many of them can't run anymore. You see, many of them have stopped to rest." Russell said, pointing to the people who stopped to rest not far away.
Blue Jackets.
"I saw it. Go quickly and gather the troops." After saying this, An Ning saluted Russell, then turned to Christina, "Take the cavalry and continue to drive away the enemies. I want to ensure that these enemies can never gather again and drive them away completely.
Disperse!"
Christina saluted: "Yes, Captain."
After saying that, she kicked the horse in the belly and galloped towards the cavalry stationed not far away.
Clarice did not follow her captain immediately, but took a few steps closer to An Ning and said with a smile: "I can feel it. Christina is very happy today. She is different from us. Most of us have no money at home."
She joined the army only after being given a dowry, but she really wanted to become someone like Joan of Arc."
An Ning: "Joan of Arc? She happens to be the daughter of the Duke of Orleans and a Maid of Orleans."
Clarisse: "It's a pity that this victory was not directed by her. Most of the fame of the victory belongs to you. Congratulations."
An Ning: "I just launched the attack when the enemy was most vulnerable."
Clarisse grinned and did not answer, but ran towards the cavalry.
After Clarisse and the cavalry united, An Ning's women's army turned around and chased the defeated enemy.
An Ning stayed where he was and watched them go away.
At this time, Russell ran over and reported: "Your Majesty, Captain, we have found a large amount of property on the enemy. Do you want to confiscate these properties?"
An Ning thought for a few seconds and made a decision: "These properties were looted by the enemy from the local people. We want to return them to the local National Assembly. You, go get a carriage and let everyone take the looted property."
Hand them all over and pile them on the carriage."
Russell: "What if everyone doesn't pay?"
"If they don't hand it over, let them go. Can we force them to hand it over?" An Ning said.
We cannot have too high expectations for the consciousness of the soldiers in this time and space.
But it is definitely not okay to rob dead people and prisoners wantonly, and the military discipline of such an army must be extremely bad.
So An Ning's approach was to show off and tell the soldiers that this was from the army, but not go into details.
This is also a helpless compromise.
"After gathering the troops, one company will be left to clean the battlefield. We will camp in the village ahead and have a celebration banquet tonight."

The news of the National Guard's great victory spread throughout the Konta area as a result of the defeated troops.
For a time, in every tavern in the Konta area, there would be one or two people who were said to be the defeated troops of the black army. They vividly recounted the scene of the demons in blue sweeping away the holy warriors of the Holy See.
"Let me tell you, they took a drug called Liberty Sugar and became invulnerable. We were obviously firing all the time, and the white smoke from the shooting filled the horizon, but they were unharmed!
"They passed through the white smoke of the shooting and pounced on us like hungry wolves, their eyes glowing evil red!"
As for the number of self-defense forces, it has been enlarged more than ten times.
"We were walking on the road, and as soon as we climbed over a hill, we saw tricolor flags flying everywhere. Under each flag was a battalion, no, a regiment!
“There are tens of thousands of self-defense troops and hundreds of cannons. When the cannons are fired, the whole earth trembles!
"There are also cavalrymen in blue. When the cavalrymen run, the whole wilderness is filled with the sound of horse hooves!"
In short, after a few days, the entire Conta knew that the main force of the National Guard in Paris had come to suppress the rebellion, and the small groups of black-clad troops wandering around had disappeared.
A large number of black-clad troops gathered around Konta City, trembling.
Anyway, An Ning's small force reached a place less than twenty miles away from Kongta, and did not encounter the black army.

On this day, An Ning arrived at a small village again. The farmers who were working in the fields at the entrance of the village ran back to the village as fast as they saw the tricolor flag.
An Ning Xinsheng was confused, so he urged his horse forward and entered the village first.
The people in the village hurriedly closed their doors, leaving only a young man standing on the roadside eating his fingers.
An Ning: "Child, why are adults so afraid?"
The child replied in a sweet voice while sucking his finger: "Because One-Eyed John is back and said that the devil with the tricolor flag is coming to take revenge on us. Are you a devil?"
An Ning looked back and looked at Christina who was following her. As the captain of the cavalry, Christina was usually accompanied by a flag bearer and a bugler who played the cavalry horn.
The flag bearer carried a bright tricolor flag.
"Well, although we are flying the tricolor flag," An Ning said to the child, "but we are not devils."
At this moment, a peasant woman wearing a dirty patched linen dress rushed out, picked up her child and ran away.
The child also said to his mother: "Mom, they said they are not demons..."
"Hush!" The peasant woman looked back in fear, "They are patriots. We hanged the patriot master in the village before, and they are here to take revenge on us!"
Saying that, the peasant woman took the child and hid in the house.
Christina: "It looks like we're not welcome here."
An Ning curled his lips: "It seems that people in this city participated in the action of hanging patriots. In other words, they are not patriots. We have already penetrated deep into enemy territory, which is not good."
After saying that, he turned the horse's head and galloped towards the outside of the village.
Christina immediately followed: "What's wrong?"
"We may have gone a little too deep and should have retreated to the last city that supported us and played it by ear."
