Fang Yuanxin watched expressionlessly as his own cavalry rushed over at the risk of casualties, and then besieged these car formations at the risk of casualties!
He saw that his cavalry had killed many enemies, but there was still no breakthrough!
And if you can't break through, you can't destroy those heavy artillery.
Even if they prepare enough explosive packets in advance, as long as they can rush in and stuff these explosive packets into the barrels of those heavy cannons, the barrels will be distorted and deformed.
But they couldn't rush in!
The seemingly thin vehicle formation defense line was consuming the lives of soldiers on both sides every moment.
What's more critical is that the bullets in the pistol are limited. After the cavalry has fired the six bullets in the pistol, it is impossible to reload on the battlefield.
When Fang Yuanxin saw that one of his own cavalrymen had finished firing their pistols, he slashed the carriage with his saber out of excitement or desperation.
He closed his eyes gently, and then uttered one word: Withdraw!
This battle can no longer be fought.
The casualties of the cavalry under his command were too great. On the way to charge, at least hundreds of cavalry had fallen, and during the siege, at least hundreds more were killed and injured.
The casualties are too great!
The most important thing is that although the opponent's vehicle formation defense line seems to be shaky, it still has not collapsed, and these damn vehicle formations are different from infantry phalanxes such as hollow phalanxes.
If it is an infantry phalanx, the infantry will suffer heavy casualties and will be dispersed by the cavalry.
But these carriages are dead objects, they will not retreat at all!
Even if there are cavalry with superb riding skills who can jump over the carriage and rush in directly, the small number of cavalry rushing in will not play any decisive role at all. As soon as they rush in, they will be surrounded by soldiers and killed.
It's pointless to continue the siege now!
After the drums for retreat sounded from behind, the cavalrymen who had been fighting fiercely just a moment ago all breathed a sigh of relief, then turned their horses and retreated without hesitation.
Most of them have already used up all the bullets in their pistols. If they continue to shoot, they may really have to use sabers.
Fighting with the opponent's long-barreled muskets with sabers across the carriage, even if the opponent has no bullets and just fights with bayonets, these cavalry can't move forward one step.
The Guang'an cavalry came and retreated quickly.
When the Guang'an cavalry left a mass of casualties and retreated like a tide, Lin Ziran also breathed a sigh of relief!
The past few minutes were definitely the most dangerous moments in his life!
Death seems to be coming at any time!
But fortunately they made it through!
Even though they paid a huge price in casualties, they still managed to survive.
Lin Ziran turned around the pier and looked around!
This battle was the first time that his Qingshan Patrol Battalion experienced such a brutal battle.
In this battle, Qingshan Patrol Battalion suffered heavy casualties!
But, they didn't collapse!
They made it through!
At this time, Luo Mazi rode his horse closer to Lin Ziran. He could not see the fear and hesitation he had a few minutes ago. He had a firm look on his face and shouted loudly: "We won, those damn Guang'an cavalry escaped like mice."
!”
"Long live my lord!"
"Long live my lord!"
Unfortunately, most of the soldiers were still immersed in the death and injury of their comrades and the tension of the battle, so not many responded to Luo Mazi's cheers!
On the other side, Cheng Hongbin also saw the defensive operations of Qingshan Patrol Camp from the beginning.
In his opinion, the performance of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion was not very good. At least when the soldiers of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion responded to the cavalry attack, many soldiers could not even reload and shoot stably, and there were many stupid young men.
Come out and shoot.
There were also many people who did not stand behind the thick baggage on the carriage. Without the obstruction of the baggage itself, it would be impossible to stop the bullets from penetrating just by relying on the wooden boards on the carriage.
At this point, the two defensive operations of his Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment were even better. When the soldiers relied on the vehicle formation to confront the Guang'an cavalry, the casualty rate was not as high as that of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion.
But the problem is that the Qingshan Patrol Battalion killed and wounded many Guang'an Cavalry on the way to charge.
Taken together, although the battle performance of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion was not very good and the casualties were very high, the casualties they caused to the Guang'an Cavalry were also considerable.
Another very important point is that there are no ammunition vehicles in the convoy stationed at Qingshan Patrol Battalion, so there is no need to worry about being killed by explosions.
It's not like the convoys stationed by his Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment are all fucking ammunition, and if one is burned, the other will explode!
The result was that in the defensive operations of the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment, not many were directly killed or injured by the Guang'an cavalry, and not many were killed or injured by the Guang'an cavalry. However, both sides were killed and wounded a large number of troops by the explosions of ammunition vehicles.
I don’t know whether I should say that the Guang’an Cavalry was unlucky or that the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment was unlucky.
However, after this defensive operation, I am afraid these Guang'an cavalry will no longer be able to attack!
After all, their casualties were so high!
Just as Cheng Hongbin guessed, Fang Yuanxin was indeed not ready to continue the attack.
Launching several repeated attacks in a short period of time consumes a lot of physical energy of the cavalry and war horses.
And as time goes by, the vehicle formation of Luoan's transport troops becomes more and more stable. During the breaks in battles, some small vehicle formations will combine with each other or join the larger vehicle formation.
For example, when the Guang'an Cavalry attacked the Qingshan Patrol Camp just now, the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment also took the opportunity to integrate the vehicle formations. Now three relatively large vehicle formations have been formed. The carriages in the vehicle formations serve as barriers.
There are even two carriages together, which makes it impossible for the cavalry to fly across as before, no matter how superb their equestrian skills are.
Now Lin Ziran did the same thing. Taking advantage of the time when the Guang'an cavalry retreated and before launching a new attack, Lin Ziran gathered his troops.
The nearby car formations directly relied on each other, and finally formed two large car formations.
If we continue to attack, it will be no different from attacking a fortress.
And the cavalry has never been an army for attacking fortresses!
Anyway, dozens of carriages have been destroyed in several successive attacks. The two previous explosions alone destroyed at least forty carriages and their supplies.
Moreover, they killed a lot of Luo An's troops, at least hundreds of them.
In terms of results, it is not small.
However, their own casualties are also high!
The biggest point is that Jian Liangzhi's temporary brigade is nearby, and I am afraid that he has received the news and is rushing over.
Although this area is an area of undulating hilly woodland and the roads are not easy to navigate, this is only for transport troops with vehicles. For cavalry, although this terrain is a bit difficult, they can still maneuver quickly.
His 3rd Cavalry Regiment could rush over and launch an attack in a short time, which meant that Jian Liangzhi's temporary brigade could also rush to help quickly.
If we continue to stay, let alone attack, we may have to be surrounded and annihilated by Jian Liangzhi's temporary brigade.
Fang Yuanxin was able to lead the cavalry troops in the rear of Chongguang City, and he was still able to perform up to now, so he was certainly not an old-fashioned character.
After giving the order, he roared away with the cavalry regiment!
Seeing the Guang'an cavalry leaving completely, Lin Ziran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When Lin Ziran breathed a sigh of relief.
Jian Liangzhi, who was personally leading the cavalry in the north to reinforce the transport team, had a face full of worry and even anxiety!
He, Jian Liangzhi, led an army of 3,000, including more than 1,500 elite cavalry to guard the logistics line and prepare to meet the transport team.
But the Guang'an cavalry still successfully attacked the transport troops. What does this mean?
This shows his incompetence, Jian Liangzhi!
Feng Haozhongqing never treats incompetent people kindly, even if he, Jian Liangzhi, is a descendant of the Jian family!
