For this battle, Lin Ziran imagined many possibilities, considering the advantage of rifles and the advantages of troops and artillery. In addition, the quality of the soldiers on both sides is also comparable.

Therefore, Lin Ziran still has a certain degree of confidence in winning this battle.

At the same time, he also considered the possibility of a defeat or even a heavy defeat.

In short, he had considered many possibilities, but he had not considered them, and in just over two hours after the battle began, the enemy army had already collapsed on a large scale.

Collapse is forgotten, but also large-scale surrender and even surrender!

When he learned that the remnants of the Seventh Division had surrendered with more than 10,000 people, he was not surprised, because at that time, the Seventh Division and even his own initiative direction, the Seventh Division had been completely suppressed by his own side soon after the battle broke out, whether it was infantry firepower or artillery firepower, it suppressed the other side.

Not to mention that at that time, the 1st Corps had already broken through the defense line of the 7th Division and was on a roundabout offensive.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for the Seventh Division to collapse, and it is also normal for it to surrender if it cannot be defeated.

But when he learned that Qian Haiye of the Second Cavalry Brigade actually took the initiative to surrender, to be honest, this was a bit beyond his expectations.

He hadn't sent someone to contact Qian Haiye in advance to persuade him to surrender before, and even if his side could win this battle, but the more than 3,000 cavalry had six legs, and they could run if they wanted to, and they couldn't catch up.

But even so, Qian Haiye took the initiative to surrender.

After surrendering, he launched an attack directly on the flank defense line of the Fifth Division, which looked like a name for himself no matter how he looked at it.

Then, the Fifth Division also surrendered, which surprised him even more.

When the enemy's commander-in-chief, Zhen Changdong, directly announced his surrender when he couldn't do anything.

It is normal for the other party to surrender, but it is not normal for the other party to surrender so neatly.

Today's battle made Lin Ziran feel a little weird.

It's not surprising that we won, but it seems a little too easy.

The other party is an army of 30,000, why did the whole army be defeated in just over two hours.

Even 30,000 pigs are not so easy to beat!

Victory came too easily, which made Lin Ziran happy, but it also made Lin Ziran think about a question, why did the enemy surrender so simply?

Looking at a large number of senior enemy generals who were escorted over by the soldiers, including Zhen Changdong, Lin Ziran suddenly wanted to ask them: Why did you surrender so simply?

If Zhen Changdong really heard Lin Ziran's question, he would definitely be sad and indignant: "You think this official is willing to surrender, but the bastard of Shuhang put the pistol on the head of this official......"

However, Lin Ziran didn't ask, even if he asked, and got Zhen Changdong's answer, Lin Ziran would not be satisfied, let alone agree.

Lin Ziran has his own answer to this question.

That is, the armies of these feudal towns generally lack the will to fight!

It's not that they are not brave in battle, or that their military literacy is not high enough, but that they lack the will to fight.

Or rather, they couldn't find a reason to fight to the death!

Fight to the death for the town?

What are you kidding, everyone is human, a living person, and this soldier for the feudal town is just a mixed meal, fighting to the death for the feudal town? You're stupid!

In the same way, the same is true for those officers and even high-ranking generals, whose power comes from the army under their command, and once the army under their command is greatly damaged, then they will become bare-bones commanders and lose their power.

The county guard mansion will not replenish even one cavalry for Qian Haiye's second cavalry brigade!

And what caused all this?

Lin Ziran thinks this is a system problem!

This is the reason why the will to fight is not strong enough among the major, middle, and high-ranking officers, and this has led to the fear of losses and the ineffectiveness of the war.

The combination of many problems is what led to the surrender of the Northwest Army of the County Guard Mansion today!

The reason why Lin Ziran frowned was because he was worried that one day the army under his command would be like this.

Once a war with a strong enemy starts, the generals under his command will simply and neatly lead the troops to surrender or even surrender.

He doesn't allow this kind of thing!

So when he looked at the 20,000 troops in front of him who had been retracted and disarmed, he directly called Wu Guanlin over: "Arrange all the middle and low-level of Toucheng to attend classes in the camp school for re-education!" ”

"All the ordinary soldiers who surrendered to Cheng were scattered into the troops, and the units were directly expanded one by one!"

Hearing this, Wu Guanlin was slightly stunned, and then said with concern: "My lord, wouldn't this be too radical, after all, these are all people who took the initiative to surrender to Cheng, especially Brigade Commander Qian, he came with three thousand cavalry to surrender, if all the officers and soldiers under him are withdrawn, even if he can't explain it there?" ”

Lin Ziran said: "The number of the Second Cavalry Brigade is still retained, and he is still the brigade commander, but he is just replacing the officers and cavalry under him with ours!" ”

"The Seventh Division and the Fifth Division are also handled according to this rule, and the number is retained, but all the middle and low-level officers are our people, and the soldiers are also mixed!"

"If they have an opinion!"

Lin Ziran fell silent after saying this, and said in a tone of indifference: "Shoot on the spot!" ”

What he said made Wu Guanlin feel cold in his back!

Shot on the spot, four simple words, what was revealed was Lin Ziran's ruthlessness!

Those are not ordinary people, but senior generals such as Qian Haiye, these senior generals are well-known even in the entire Luo'an County, even if they are surrendered, they are also brought by the troops to surrender, even if it is Zhen Changdong who surrendered, according to the unspoken rules between the feudal towns in the past, then if Zhen Changdong is willing to surrender to Chengcheng, even if he is not entrusted with a heavy responsibility, then he has to eat and drink well.

If it is a person like Qian Haiye, it must be entrusted with a heavy responsibility and make a gesture of buying a horse with a thousand dollars!

But now, Lin Ziran said that if he didn't agree, he would be shot on the spot!

If this thing is done, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of people all over the world!

So Wu Guanlin is very hesitant now, he wants to persuade Lin Ziran, now that the hegemony has not been achieved, you still need to be careful in doing things, and it is even more necessary to treat the generals who surrender to Cheng, otherwise, who will surrender to you Lin Ziran in the future, you will have to fight us to the end on the battlefield!

Lin Ziran saw Wu Guanlin's hesitation, and he also knew what he was worried about, in fact, he was worried himself.

But now Lin Ziran is not thinking about the affairs of the people of the world, let alone whether there will be enemies in the future, he is thinking about the loyalty of the troops now.
