When Mou Wenshou arrived in Liaoyang, the corpses on the battlefield had already been buried, and the brothers who died had already been buried near the battlefield, and the wooden tomb plaques with their names written on them were standing on the field.

More than 5,000 people!

More than 5,000 lives!

Even for Mu Wenshou, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, he looked at the endless graves in amazement, although he had experienced the blow of Jiangbei's almost total annihilation, but he did not expect that Yingyang Town would suffer such a heavy blow now.

When Mu Wenshou found Yang Yufan, looking at the old brother sitting in front of the tomb, he sat down quietly.

He was also a father, and he also lost his son.

Looking at Yang Yufan, who seemed to have gray hair in a day, he wanted to say comfort, but he couldn't speak, because he lost it, so he understood this pain, which is difficult to describe in words.

"Yu'er is dead......

After a while, Yang Yufan said.

"I killed ......"

"Brother Yang......"

"I have killed so many brothers, five thousand six hundred and twenty-one......"

With this number on his lips, Yang Yufan's eyes flashed with pain.

"They are all raised as a handful of and urine for their parents, I, I ......"

Once upon a time, for Yang Yufan, he didn't care about the lives of his brothers, even if there were inevitably deaths and injuries in battle, if he didn't take charge of the army, he would succeed in a thousand bones!

But today, after he lost his most beloved youngest son, he finally experienced that pain.

That's 5,620 families!

……

When he received the report, Zhu Guoqiang was stunned for a long time, how could this be?

Is it Yang Yufan's venture?

No, he marched as planned, steady all the way, and seemed very safe.

Is the Qing army too strong?

Neither is it, even if the Qing army played with firearms, where would it be the opponent of the Ming army?

But why did it fail?

"Underestimated."

After putting down the reports of several marchers joining the army, Zhu Guoqiang said.

It was Yang Yufan who was too light on the enemy, he thought that as long as there was artillery bombardment, he could easily solve Jiannu, but he didn't expect that the other party would set up an "ambush", and even took the initiative to show weakness, just waiting for his charge.

Thankfully, he reacted quickly, otherwise the loss would have been even worse.

"To fight, you still have to fight steadily!"

When the words of the prince fell, Yan Ermei said to the side.

"Lord Shizi, Yang Yufan is not only underestimating the enemy, but also too selfish, 10,000 against 30,000, such a disparity in strength, he should be safer, but he ......"

Without waiting for Yan Ermei to finish speaking, Zhu Guoqiang stretched out his hand to stop him and said.

"The defeat of Liaoyang can be regarded as a reminder for us, so that everyone should not think that with guns, they can be rampant and domineering, and if they underestimate the enemy, there is more than a Yang Yufan!"

His expression was a little dull, not just because of the heavy casualties, but also because he regretted the sacrifice of so many soldiers.

Yang Yufan does have selfish intentions, but his selfishness is entirely due to underestimating the enemy, why would he underestimate the enemy?

"Since we went south in Jinan, we have been fighting slowly and smoothly, and even myself has been conceited to underestimate the enemy...... The Han army was invincible. ”

With a long sigh of helplessness, Zhu Guoqiang knew very well in his heart that this lesson was not only Yang Yufan's, but also a reminder to himself.

Is there invincibility with a firing gun and howitzer?

Jiannu now also has artillery and muskets, and they are also learning, the kind of dimensionality reduction strike at the beginning may show the huge difference between civilizations in a cruel way, but now, after a year of study, Jiannu has adapted to that style of play.

They would dig trenches, they would build fort baskets, and of course they would use firearms, they would make firearms. Unless we can maintain the absolute lead of weapons all the time, it will soon be that kind of "dimensionality reduction strike" that has been in place since the previous year will slowly disappear.

Perhaps, Jiannu will turn into another Russia...... Thinking of the Crimean War, Russia, which was poorly equipped and crudely made, also inflicted extremely heavy casualties on Britain and France in the face of the British and French attacks, and of course, they paid an even heavier price.

It seems that it is time to speed up the equipping of rifled guns!

It is necessary to maintain a certain technical advantage, and technological superiority is the fundamental reason why the Han army is one against five!

While thinking like this in his heart, staring at Yang Yufan's report of pleading, Zhu Guoqiang still commanded after thinking about it.

"Send a letter to Yang Yufan in my name, tell him that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and comfort him in the pain of losing his son. It's a pity, that kid is a nice young man! ”

Even now, Zhu Guoqiang still feels sorry for Yang Yu, he has seen that young man, when they first met in Nanjing, he was not yet sixteen years old, although in the process of reorganizing the army in Dalian, Zhu Guoqiang through the promotion of the family and other ways, the so-called Yang family generals, Mu family generals, Huang family generals, in fact, their relatives and family members, dispersed to various troops, but considering some traditions, Zhu Guoqiang still agreed that Yang Yu stayed with his father, as for his eldest son Yang Zhen, has been a guard in the general's mansion, which is a kind of trust, Again, hostages in a way.

Of course, for them, this is also a background, just like many officials in the Manchu Qing Dynasty were born as "imperial guards", as a military aristocrat to some extent, how to ensure the loyalty and combat effectiveness of these hereditary officers, the imperial guards are a good choice, but it is a pity that there has never been such an option in the Ming generation.

In fact, if these hereditary officers are used well, they are themselves a sharp weapon against the civilian system, just like the Manchu Qing used the Eight Banners to balance the civil officials, and finally the civil officials were tamed into slaves. Of course, they rely not only on balance, the knife is the root of taming, but one thing is for sure, only balanced power is stable.

Because of this, Zhu Guoqiang has been trying to create his "military aristocracy", and using the officers' sons and nephews as guards is some kind of attempt, and this may be very familiar to these people.

After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang commanded again.

"Let Yang Zhen come over, and I'll tell him the news in person."

Almost at the same time as the news of more than half of the casualties in Yingyang Town came, Zu Dashou personally led 20,000 troops out of Dalinghe City all the way to the east, crossed the Liaohe Loop and pointed directly to Shenyang, that is, the so-called "Shengjing" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, invincible along the way, Jiannu was all "frightened" and "abandoned the city and fled", the mighty army was stationed in the city along the way, once upon a time, Nurhachi, Huang Taiji used nearly 20 years to conquer the Liaohe West Zhucheng, successively by Zu Dashou "recovered", when the Liaohe Loop, the 20,000 horses under his command, only 15,000 people and horses remained, other soldiers and horses...... and they have all gone to receive the cities.

When Zu Dashou's army crossed the Liaohe Loop, there was also chaos in the pseudo-"Shengjing City", and tens of thousands of Manchu soldiers and civilians gathered from all over the country hurriedly withdrew from Liaodong.

Standing at the head of Shengjing City, Fei Yangguo looked at the city in front of him, many places in the city were empty, and last year the Ming army burned down all the buildings, including the imperial palace, when they left Shengjing, and the entire city was completely burned to the ground.

Although, the fourteenth brother rebuilt a lot of buildings. However, at present, there are still many places in the city that are empty, and now they have to abandon this place.

Hey, Fei Yangguo couldn't help but sigh, but if there was a slight possibility, who would want to give up the capital like this?

But now for the Great Qin State, there is no other choice, if the fourteenth brother does not make this decision decisively, but here and the Ming army to kill you to the death, when the time comes, both will be defeated, I am afraid they are the lightest, and may even be defeated here, the battle of Liaoyang made Fei Yangguo clearly realize that the current Great Qing State is definitely not the opponent of the Ming State, if the Great Qing State wants to defeat the Ming State, it must not recuperate, recuperate, and accumulate strength, only in this way can the Ming Army be defeated in the future, it should be said that it is the Pingyu Army!

As for the other Ming troops, how could they be the opponents of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty?

Everything here at the moment, to put it mildly, is temporarily handed over to those people, so that they can be the Eight Banners. It's just a temporary lookout, and then I'll take it down in a few years.

"This city...... I'll hand it over to Zu Dashou first! ”
