Lin Ziran naturally nodded slightly!

His losses in this battle are indeed not small, and it is necessary for him to compensate himself, and with Cheng Hongbin here, he doesn't have to worry about adding too little.

Otherwise, don't blame him Lin Ziran for turning his face with them!

After a few simple words, Lin Ziran continued to clean up the battlefield with manpower.

Lin Ziran had to recover the weapons lost on the battlefield by both the enemy and us, and capture the horses that escaped from the Guang'an cavalry, these are all good things.

Needless to say, the Nanzhou horse is the top war horse of Daheng, and in this war period, every Nanzhou war horse is the most valuable material.

And the revolver of the Guang'an cavalry is also a good thing, everyone knows that the revolver has a huge advantage in close combat, but why is it only equipped with cavalry, but not infantry?

The reason is very simple, it is expensive and the usage restrictions are relatively simple.

A six-shot smoothbore pistol produced by Fuyuan Ordnance Factory using fire caps, paper shell fixed loading bullets, and manual revolvers, the factory price reached 40 Hengyuan.

Almost twice as much as the Fuyuan musket!

In addition to being expensive, smoothbore pistols still have a short range and extremely low accuracy, making them only useful as close-range weapons.

And the infantry is fighting at close range, they will use bayonets directly!

Bayonet charge was still the most important and effective tactic for infantry in this era.

However, after today's battle, Lin Ziran felt that bayonet tactics were not applicable in all situations, at least in the face of the impact of cavalry, when the troops relied on horse-drawn carriages for defensive operations, bayonet tactics did not have the slightest effect.

In this kind of combat environment, the revolver has a huge room to play!

If today he had enough revolvers in his troops, today's battle would have been a completely different result.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in reality!

Even in the future, he will not allow infantry units to be massively armed with revolvers.

With that money, he might as well purchase an additional batch of muskets and organize an additional batch of troops.

However, now the Guang'an cavalry has left a lot of pulley pistols, and this kind of good thing naturally cannot be let go, just to restore blood to themselves with huge losses.

So he personally led the troops to clean up the battlefield, and the rest could be left alone, but those horses and revolvers had to be snatched back first.

No, Hongbin didn't shoot with him.

It's not that he's not interested in the loot in front of him

For example, those revolvers are also very good to equip the gunners, and as for those war horses, the officers under him can also ride them, so it is really impossible to buy these trophies and give them a red to their artillery brothers, add a meal or something.

But he didn't want to rob Lin Ziran!

He knew that Lin Ziran was the head of a militia group, and he needed these things to maintain the strength of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, and he was still fighting desperately to protect the baggage team just now, so he had to give these trophies to Lin Ziran.

And Cheng Hongbin is not sure, if he shoots with Lin Ziran, the devil knows what Lin Ziran can do.

So the next scene made Lin Ziran's mood a lot better!

First of all, the Nanzhou war horses recovered, there are more than 40 horses, these are all good Nanzhou horses, and the contemporary Daheng Dynasty and even the world can be regarded as extremely good riding horses.

Handsome, generally more than 1.5 meters tall at the shoulders, good explosiveness, good gravity, and although the endurance is not too good, but there is also a medium level, although the feeding is more difficult than the Shayang horse, but not to the extent of too extreme.

These add up to make the Nanzhou horse an excellent horse for riding, regardless of whether it is a cuirassier or a light cavalry, this kind of war horse is used in large quantities.

It's a pity that in the midst of the war, these excellent war horses are all in the hands of powerful feudal towns in various places, although there are also among the people, but the number is very small, and Lin Ziran has no way to obtain them through ordinary procurement channels.

With these more than 40 Nanzhou war horses, the cavalry company of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion can be expanded to the scale of 100 cavalry, which will play a great role in improving the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion.

Even if the cavalry company of the Castle Peak Patrol Battalion still does not have the combat power to launch a frontal charge in a dense formation, it can still act as a scout, harass the enemy, and attack the enemy's weak points through maneuvering.

In addition to the Nanzhou war horse, there are also a lot of other trophies, such as the carbine used by the cavalry, that is, the cavalry version of the Fuyuan musket, and the biggest difference between the infantry version is that the barrel is relatively short.

However, among these weapons, the most important thing for Lin Ziran was the capture of nearly 200 Suifa revolvers.

This thing is a good thing!

At that time, Lin Ziran gave the cavalrymen two of these revolvers per person, which was enough to greatly increase the strength of the cavalry company.

As for equipping the infantry, he thought about it, but in the end gave up.

The main thing is the cost, he can't purchase pistols to equip the infantry on a large scale, so the gains outweigh the losses, as for the captured points, after equipping the cavalry units, the remaining few are distributed to officers.

After cleaning up the battlefield, especially after collecting all the loot, the 7th Infantry Regiment also arrived.

There was nothing to say about the rest of the matter, the 7th Infantry Regiment took over the task of continuing to escort the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment, while Lin Ziran returned south with the Qingshan Patrol Battalion.

This return trip was much simpler, without the drag of heavy artillery and baggage, the Qingshan Patrol Battalion marched lightly, and returned to Qingshan Town the next day.

After returning to Qingshan Town, Lin Ziran explained to Luo Mazi and others to deal with the aftermath, such as the treatment of the wounded and the payment of pensions to the families of the war dead.

There is also the repayment of the promised three months' salary, etc.

Lin Ziran said to Luo Mazi: "The aftermath must be completed as soon as possible, and it must not be out of the basket, we are all Qingshan disciples, and we can't chill people's hearts!" ”

Luo Mazi is also a smart person, and he knows why Lin Ziran did this.

Because although the cost of the bereavement pension is not small, it is for the soldiers who are still alive to see, so that the soldiers who are still alive have no worries.

To put it bluntly, it is to buy people's hearts!

In order to deal with the aftermath, Lin Ziran even transferred the operating funds of the Tsingshan Petroleum Company, and even the scheduled purchase of ordnance was suspended.

At this time, it is not important about money or anything, what matters is people's hearts and morale.

In addition to paying for the aftermath, Lin Ziran did not forget to stretch out his hand to his head, he wrote a letter similar to a war report to the headquarters of the Third Division, briefly talking about the battle, but more importantly, about the losses and difficulties.

Lin Ziran said in the letter that after this battle, the patrol battalion suffered huge losses, so that everyone in Qingshan Town wailed, and said that the loss of guns and ammunition was huge, and it was no longer able to fight Yunyun.
