The loose Gojo people turned decisively and gave nearly a hundred Peruvian cavalry to the Cossacks who rushed over. Their behavior had a bad impact. The Spanish infantry, who had been unable to support the continuous bombardment of the second brothers of the field artillery, suddenly began to imitate. When did these pampered colonial troops experience such intensity of battles and have not yet collapsed when one-quarter of the casualties? They are already worthy of the salary they usually receive.

The balance of the battle was undoubtedly completely tilted towards the crossing of the crowd at this time. The Peruvian cavalry, who had no intention of fighting, fell off their horses with a pistol shot. They fought a little with the cavalrymen in the cavalry battalion and began to turn around and flee. Seeing this situation, Liao Meng was ecstatic and immediately ordered the infantry whistle to go back and ride the horses to pursue. Today, it is necessary to keep more Spanish people here as much as possible.

The battle was decided at this time, and everyone would fight with the wind. Zhu Liang's spearmen had just suffered more than 20 casualties under the attack of the Spanish artillery. The morale of these new recruits had already been greatly reduced. When they saw the enemy actually fleeing, their morale suddenly rose. Without the urging of the officers, they carried the spears and took big steps to pursue them.

The ground was full of Spanish corpses, abandoned cannons and muskets, and the horses that lost their masters. Wei Aiwen led the mail of the cavalry of most of the personnel to pursue the Spanish. The Gojo people in the Spanish formation fled the fastest and had disappeared at this time. The remaining fifty or sixty Peruvian cavalry did not dare to turn around under the pursuit of the Cossacks of the same number as them. As for the remaining more than two hundred Spanish infantry, they were in a mess. They threw away the inconvenient spears and heavy mesh guns, and spread their feet to escape towards Luo Qia. As they escaped, many people simply peeled off their breastplates, threw away the light swords on their waists, and ran away in white.

It’s a pity that how could two legs run beyond four legs. The soldiers of the cavalry and infantry whistle circled ahead of them like the wind, then dismounted and carried out a round of gunfire, most of the Spaniards surrendered honestly, and a small number of stubborn people were shot dead on the spot.

It took a long time to clean the battlefield, and the weapons and war horses scattered everywhere were not so easy to collect. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Cossacks who were chasing Peruvian cavalry came back. They were covered in blood and killed more than 20 Peruvian cavalry again, and then they returned. Only 55 were left in the 107 cavalrymen before this cavalry battalion battle, and almost everyone was injured, which was extremely tragic. Xu Yu, who thought he would definitely die before the charge, was miraculously unharmed this time, but when he saw that his brothers under his command had suffered nearly half of their casualties, his mood did not improve after all.

The flintlock gunmen of the two whistles died in battle and 7 were injured; the spearmen killed 18 people and 10 were injured; the total number of all casualties was 99, which was the worst casualties since the war with the Spanish. In addition, about 240 Spanish cavalry, about 80 infantrymen were killed in this battle, 209 Spanish infantry were captured, four pounds, two eight-pound copper cannons were seized, more than 150 concoct guns, more than 200 pairs of breastplates, spears, and several light swords.

After this battle, the last halo shrouded by the Spanish was completely broken, and the morale of the troops on the crossing was greatly improved. The cavalry power, which originally had the advantage, was devastating in this battle. Captain Torres, a regular cavalry from Peru, only brought back 40 cavalry. The Goggio people fled back nearly 100 cavalry, but their bad behavior of escaping at the last battle had completely lost the trust of the Spanish.

On the night of July 17, the news of the disastrous defeat on the south bank of the Big Fish River was returned to the Spanish military camp on the north bank. Not only did the commander Major Antonio Carlos find out, but even many soldiers saw Captain Torres fleeing in a panic with forty blood-stained cavalry. The Spanish soldiers who had been impatient in the city of Dingyuan Castle because of lack of food and clothing and food, suddenly rushed to pass on the news, and an uneasy atmosphere enveloped the barracks.

"So you lost like this?" Major Antonio Carlos asked angrily, looking at Captain Torres with a pale face with a pale face.

"The artillery fire of the Tatans is very fierce. Their artillery range is very long and the rate of fire is also very fast. The infantry quickly collapsed under the attack of their eight artillery pieces." Captain Torres explained in a state of silence. He, who had just encountered the worst failure in his life, no longer had his former spirit. Captain Torres, who was originally full of justice, elegant and elegant, and always straight, seemed to be ten years old at this time, with his shoulders and back bent, and his legs trembled slightly. Obviously, the previous battle greatly destroyed his spirit.

"What about the cavalry troops? Before the war, you brought 385 cavalrymen, but now you only have 145 people back safely. How did you fight this battle? You idiot!" Major Carlos was still a little furious.

"The Tatans' cavalry are superb and brave in combat. Moreover, each of them is equipped with a pistol, which takes advantage of the battle. Their cavalry cooperated with the flintlock spearmen. My subordinates fought bravely, but there were still heavy casualties. Moreover... the sir, those timid, cowardly, despicable and shameless Gao Qiao people actually fled at the most critical moment of the battle. Their shameless behavior shook the fighting will of the kingdom army and led to the great collapse that occurred later. The sir, must send them to the military court!" Captain Torres gritted his teeth for the Gao Qiao people's escape at the battle.

"Captain Juan Cruise Torres, your frivolous remarks are the greatest slander for the brave Gojo people. I ask for a duel with you!" A tall officer in the tent stood up and said furiously. He was the leader of the Gojo Volunteer Army who followed the battle this time, a middle-aged Wrangler who was very appealing among Gojo people.

"Captain Torres, this is a very serious accusation. Are you sure what you said is true? Not a lie you made up at will to shirk responsibility for defeat?" Another middle-aged officer in the tent raised a question. He was a lieutenant of the Navy and the commander of the Diego Garcia Fleet to the Army.

"The 40 Kingdom cavalry who came back with me can testify!" Torres looked at the Gojo man standing opposite him with contempt, and said, "This is why the Gojo man is so low. Because they are cowards, they escaped their responsibilities and betrayed their comrades who are still fighting on the battlefield. There is nothing more disgusting than this. God testified, I did not lie! I beg the Army to investigate this bad incident!"

"Enough!" Major Antonio Carlos interrupted Captain Torres's words, "I will ask Commander Garcia to investigate this matter. Captain Torres, as for whether you have made any command errors in combat, I will also investigate." Now there are about 150 Cavalrymen under Major Carlos, and there are still some left-behind people. Whether they have escaped in the last battle or not, it is not a good time to pursue them. On the contrary, Major Carlos has to try to stabilize them first. After all, whether they continue to fight or retreat, they are inseparable from these Cavalrymen.

"Gentlemen, now this war has reached an extremely subtle moment, and the situation seems to be very bad for us. After this frustrating battle, we have lost the initiative in the war, and our supplies have been completely cut off." Major Carlos said after taking a deep breath. "In fact, our supplies have not been completely passed. In this damn weather, the soldiers have lost more than 200 people due to cold and disease. The remaining soldiers are not in good condition and their morale is extremely low. At this time, I think we don't have to deceive ourselves anymore. The Tatans have strong combat power, and I am pessimistic about restoring the transportation lines behind us again. Gentlemen, this war is actually difficult for us to continue."

Everyone was a little silent. Time has only been ten days, and the nearly 1,700 Kingdom Army, who were full of energy, fell into such a dilemma. Underestimating the combat effectiveness of the Tatans is the biggest crux of the problem! They are familiar with the geographical environment and weather, they have strong fortresses, they have sufficient supply, they have strong fighting will, their artillery performance is excellent, they are equipped with advanced rifles, and they innovate the tactics and tactics of the cavalry... The gap in each item has had an impact on the results of each battle, and thus affects the direction of the entire battle situation.

"Leo, tomorrow you will take my handwritten letter to Rocha, and tell His Excellency Commander Garcia about the difficulties we face and ask him to grant our request for retreat. I must be responsible for the children who are still on the north bank of this river, and I have the responsibility to bring them to La Plata and Paraguay. This war... will not be able to continue after all." Major Carlos said with a sad face.

"As for orders, yours." Leo, the adjutant standing behind Major Carlos, bowed slightly. The young adjutant Leo also sighed a little. Who would have expected the war to become such an embarrassing situation at the beginning of the war a few months ago? The General Attorney wrote that rash warrant in Peru. Perhaps in his heart, the power of the Tatans is no match for the Kingdom Army.
