Until William got that the Shanghai army could not defeat the large-scale escape, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Pitt next to him, and sneered: "How is it? The Shanghai army that you said was extremely powerful has been defeated on the entire line!"

Pete frowned, and he wondered all his mind that the combat effectiveness of the Shanghai army was very strong in his eyes, because he personally watched the battle between the Shanghai army and the US Marine Corps three years ago. The combat effectiveness of the Shanghai army was almost as good as the elite British army who had been trained for more than ten years. Now three years have passed, why has the combat effectiveness decreased instead of increasing, and it can't beat the self-defense force temporarily organized by a group of unemployed vagrants in the concession?

Something is a trick!

Pete thought this way, but the smoke in front of him and the buildings blocked him, he could not see the specific situation of the Shanghai army's retreat, nor could he judge it.

Looking at William's smug expression, Pete snorted coldly and stopped talking.

William did not intend to listen to Pete's apology. At this moment, he could not refute it and felt relieved.

"Tell me the order! Don't let a Shanghai soldier go, beat me hard. Let's go into Shanghai County together. Gold, silver, treasures and women are ours!"

William's shout immediately inspired the fighting spirit of everyone in the Concession Self-Defense Force.

What are these people joining the Self-Defense Forces for? They are not robbing money and women.

"I want treasure!"

"I want a woman!"

"I want everything!"

...

The foreigners were immediately excited and shouted, chasing the Shanghai army.

Pete was shocked and couldn't help but say, "William, you are crazy. If you encourage them like this, you will break up the battle formation!"

William snorted coldly and asked back, "Do you think I'm willing? Do you think I don't know that this may break up the formation?"

Peter was stunned and soon realized that William had no choice. After all, this concession Self-Defense Force is not an army. If the people who pieced together temporarily do not encourage them to have benefits, they will never work hard.

In fact, this is true. Westerners are like this. Not to mention these ordinary foreigners who are profit-oriented, even the British army will leave their formation in battle to steal the property left by the enemy. In the history of the British-Swiss naval battle, a large number of British warships left the fleet to seize Spanish warships. This is a tradition and a criminal record. The army is like this, let alone ordinary people.

"But have you ever thought that they can maintain this state under the premise of victory, but once they are stubbornly blocked or counterattacked by the enemy, they will be vulnerable and will collapse at one touch!"

"No need to remind you! I understand naturally!" William snorted coldly and said indifferently: "Don't forget that the British, French and American coalition forces should have started attacking now, and the Three Kingdoms Marines are probably landing. We just cooperate. We will not take long to meet. Are you still afraid of the Shanghai army's counterattack at that time?"

William's words made sense, and Pete could not refute them, so he had to stop talking.

"Report to Chief William, the Shanghai army was defeated, Suzhou Bridge has been taken back by us, and the vanguard troops are pursuing the enemy's defeated troops!"

"What?" William and Pitt were both shocked. They were a little unbelievable to recover Suzhou Bridge so quickly.

"Be careful of the ambush of the enemy! Li Weiguo is the most cunning! He likes to play conspiracies!" Peter hurriedly reminded.

William became nervous again. As the commander, of course he would be ambushed in fear.

However, soon another news came.

"Report to Chief William, the vanguard troops destroyed the artillery troops of the Shanghai Army. There were a whole artillery battalion with more than 30 cannons. The Shanghai army fled before they could blow up the cannons. Some Shanghai soldiers were captured by us. Should they be shot!"

When William heard this, he felt relieved and said, "Don't shoot the prisoners, take them back, find a house to lock them up!"

"yes!"

The messenger left, and William couldn't sit still. The forward progress was too fast, so he had to be in front-line command.

Peter was confused. He couldn't figure out how the Shanghai army could be so vulnerable. He had suspected that it was a fraud before, but when he heard that the Shanghai army had lost its artillery battalion, it would have been impossible if it weren't for a great defeat.

You should know that both sides are fighting muskets, and artillery has a huge role. After all, there are no artillery in the concession at present. Thirty-six artillery are of great significance to the Concession Self-Defense Force and can be used to directly attack Shanghai County.
