"Master, there seems to be a battle on the city walls of Bengbu."

After seeing the accident in Bengbu, the sentry in front quickly returned to report.

What?

Xu Yuxian was stunned for a moment. When he was marching to fight, he was most afraid of encountering an accident. When encountering unplanned events, there would be many variables, which would add a lot of difficulty to command and decision-making.

Originally, he and You Shicheng made an appointment to enter at the West City Gate, but now there has been a change in the West City Gate, which makes him not anxious.

"Speak slowly and speak clearly."

Xu Yuxian asked.

"The people in their city were divided into two groups, and they fought each other on the city wall. It doesn't look like they are acting."

said the sentry.

Hearing this, Xu Yuxian seemed to have some clues, and he reckoned that it might be the infighting caused by the exposure of Yu Shicheng. Other than that, he couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Order the troops, run forward."

Xu Yuxian issued the latest order, and the speed of the troops more than doubled at once.

Soon, they approached Bengbu City. Through the telescope, Xu Yuxian saw that the other party was indistinguishable from killing on the city wall. The gate under the city wall had already been opened, and there were still a few soldiers at the gate.

Xu Yuxian judged from this that the other party could never be acting to lure his army into the city, and the acting could not be so real. He had seen several people who fell off the city wall and died tragically.

When those soldiers saw Wu Jun, they trotted all the way over and informed the situation in the city.

Everything was as Xu Yuxian had guessed, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to follow these people into the city to control the situation.

On the city wall, although Borja had been commanding soldiers to fight against You Shicheng, he did not ignore the situation outside the city.

Seeing Wu Jun's arrival, his heart froze.

This time, not only can you not solve You Shicheng, but even his own life is in danger.

"After you stay, I will lead the army to withdraw first."

Borja made the decision decisively, leaving a deputy to delay with more than a thousand people.

And he was trying to escape from other city gates with others.

At present, except for the West City Gate, other city gates are still in their hands, and there is still a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, things on the battlefield are always so fickle.

When Borja led his troops back to the north gate, they encountered Li Fei's intercepting troops on the way.

"Master Li, retreat with me."

Borja said that at this time, he was lazy to care about Li Fei's late arrival, and the preservation of his strength was the most important thing.

"Kill Borja and reward you with a thousand taels of silver."

Li Fei shouted.

Borja almost fell off his horse when he heard the words.

In the past, those who flattered themselves with their smiling faces became so vicious in a blink of an eye.

But he didn't know that human nature is like this, bullying the soft and fearing the hard, and tending to be inflamed. When the big tree in the Qing Dynasty is not good for the cool, it is just wishful thinking to think that others will respect their Manchus.

"Withdraw to the east gate."

This is not the time to be angry, Borja can only hold his anger in his heart and continue to flee.

He wanted to escape, but Li Fei refused.

Borja is a great gift he wants to present to Wu Jun, how can he easily let go of his name.

Li Fei's subordinates intercepted and chased on various streets to prevent Borja from escaping.

In desperation, Borja could only keep adopting the tactics of docking the tail, and arranged for his subordinates to separate the troops to cut the rear.

Immediately, there was a sound of killing in the city, and the people hid at home one after another. Don't dare to step out of the house.

Borja fought and retreated, and finally arrived at the east gate. Just after leaving the city from the east gate, he met the Wu army who had already been ambushed.

Although this Wu army was small in number, there were only more than 600 people.

However, after Borja fought hard, his subordinates also died, wounded and wounded, and even more were left behind.

There are only more than 500 people who are still with him now.

Moreover, the morale of the more than 500 people has fallen to a low point after successive escapes.

"Brothers, this is the last level, we can go home if we rush through. We in the Qing Dynasty only have fallen warriors, and there are no cowards who surrendered."

Borja poured chicken soup into the crowd, and then led the army to charge.

Wu Jun, on the other hand, had already formed a formation, waiting for the Qing army to come over.

Two hundred meters, one hundred fifty meters, one hundred meters...

"shooting."

Wu Jun's gunshots sounded, and while the Qing troops fell, they quickened their pace.

In particular, a cavalry squad of about fifty people rushed in front of Wu Jun from the side in the blink of an eye.

In such a small-scale battle, the cavalry played a great role.

Some cavalrymen, who were not afraid of death, bumped into Wu Jun's formation, causing Wu Jun's formation to be a bit chaotic.

However, the number of cavalry in the Qing army was too small, otherwise the Wu army could really be defeated.

Of these dozens of cavalry, seven or eight died when they charged, and another six or seven died when they charged into the bayonet formation.

The rest were torn apart with Wu Jun's infantry, they were condescending, and they still maintained their mobility, occupying a certain advantage.

However, the number of Wu's troops was large, and those cavalry were the enemy, and they could not cope at all.

If you are not careful, you will

He was picked off by Wu Jun.

There were also some Wu troops who specifically aimed at the horses. Without the horses, those cavalrymen would lose their power as if they had lost a pair of teeth.

After falling to the ground, he was bullied to his heart's content by Wu Jun.

Soon, the cavalry was wiped out.

However, this group of cavalry can be considered to have completed their mission. They successfully delayed the Wu army, attracted the attention of the Wu army, and made their large force rush to the Wu army with small losses.

Wu Jun continued to deal with the Qing army in a hurry.

"The formation."

The commander of Wu Jun kept commanding, and the formation just now disintegrated, causing the current battlefield to be a bit chaotic, like a melee.

This kind of melee relies on the bravery of the individual soldiers. Wu Jun has little training in this regard and is not very good at it.

Therefore, fighting with the Qing army is a very stupid thing.

Under the urging of the whistle, some Wu soldiers who had not contacted the Qing army immediately calmed down, divided a small number of people to contain them, and the other part of the people re-lined up.

Thanks to the fact that they usually practice this, the queue is very fast.

A phalanx was formed, and they immediately advanced against the Qing army.

When the complete phalanx arrived, the Qing army immediately suffered a big loss.

In the face of this dense forest of bayonets, none of them had the courage to rush up and stab them.

The legs of the Qing army soldiers couldn't help but retreat, and while they were retreating, they bumped into the comrades behind them. Immediately followed by chaos, Wu Jun took the opportunity to charge and completely wiped out the Qing army's sigh of relief.

Seeing the situation was not good, Borja turned the direction of the horse's head with a few personal soldiers, trying to escape alone.

Unfortunately, his decision was a bit late.

Several rows of Wu Jun soldiers quickly loaded and then fired a salvo at them.

Two escaped without being hit, but Borja's luck wasn't very good. His horse was shot, and he was thrown to the ground, smashed.

In the battle of Bengbu, Wu Jun wiped out almost all of the Eight Banners soldiers, but his own losses were only one or two hundred, which was almost negligible.

At the same time, they also got two descending troops, adding up to nearly 8,000 people.

These troops may not be able to fight hard, but it is still no problem to leave the garrison to maintain law and order, and to suppress a mountain bandit.

Seeing the victory and losses, Xu Yuxian couldn't help but smile.

It went so smoothly, beyond his expectations.
