When they arrived at the mountain pass, they happened to see the baggage company chasing and killing the Qing army logistics team all over the mountains, and joined the pursuit without saying a word.

Lin Xiao was naturally overjoyed to see that so many war horses had been captured, but when he saw the number of prisoners captured by each unit, he couldn't be happier anymore.

After the battle, each battalion and company counted and captured more than 3,000 war horses, more than 2,000 horses and carts, more than 2,000 carts, and countless food and ordnance. In addition, more than 25,000 Qing troops were captured, of which more than 2,000 wounded soldiers were a headache for Lin Xiao, and Li Yuanyin's infantry captured the most among the various troops, they were ambushed behind the trails in the mountain pass in advance, and when the lost Qing troops fled in, they were wrapped in dumplings, and more than 13,000 people were captured on each trail.

If you talk about the number of enemies killed, Duan Zhenghong's machine gun company has the most, and the Qing army killed by mortar bombardment does not count, in front of the machine gun position at the mouth of the canyon alone, there are dense corpses, and in some places there are even stacks of corpses piled up into a mountain of corpses, of course, the big explosion made by Ding Shuai does not count, because in the completely destroyed grove, it is almost impossible to find complete corpses, almost all of them are dark red broken soil and slimy pieces of minced meat.

Lin Xiao's own soldiers also suffered casualties, including seven soldiers who were hit by the red-coated cannon, three soldiers who were hit by stray bullets, and more than 30 soldiers who were injured for various reasons.

In addition, Li Yuanyin's decoy cavalry also had 23 killed and more than 30 wounded, for a total of more than 90 casualties in this battle.

Lin Xiao sent people to send the wounded to Gantang Town and handed them over to Yu Jifan for treatment, and organized the prisoners to clean up the remains of the Qing army's corpses and bury them.

More than 10,000 people were each given 100 catties of food and dismissed on the spot, and some of the carts stolen by the Qing army were also returned to the master to take away, and the people were overjoyed, most of them kowtowed and left, and finally more than 2,000 homeless people refused to leave, shouting to join the Ming army.

Lin Xiao saw that most of these people were young people, so he promised them to stay, continue to help transport grain and grass for the time being, and promised that they would be paid, but those who want to be soldiers must participate in the recruit trial training in the future, and those who pass the trial training can officially enlist in the army.

……

For the martyrs who died, Li Yuanyin advocated that his soldiers should be buried wherever they died in battle.

"Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why bother to return the body of the horse leather!"

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, insisted on bringing his soldiers back to Fangcheng, where he wanted to build a martyr's cemetery so that his brothers could rest in the same place as much as possible.

"My brothers, they were lively together in life, and they can't be alone after death."

Lin Xiao helped Li Yuanyin organize a grand ceremony to bury the bodies of 23 martyrs on a sunny hillside in the valley and erect a monument to commemorate them.

When the honor guards who lined up with guns fired a round of salvos into the sky and sent their comrades on the road, Lin Xiao stood silently aside, and in his eyes, which usually smiled, two cold lights shot out at this moment, and the cold air was overwhelming and terrifying.

……

As soon as the funeral ceremony ended, Situ Zheng hurriedly came to him, saying that He Shouxin was calling on the radio and had an urgent report.

He Shouxin briefly reported the current situation of the Nanning Imperial Court on the radio, and explained Qu Shiyun's thoughts clearly.

Lin Xiao sensed from He Shouxin's anxious tone that the current situation facing Qu Shiyun was indeed very critical.

"You tell Master Qu and let him rest easy, we have just annihilated Kong Youde's main force, and the Kong thieves have been ambushed, we will immediately return to Nanning, let him try to stabilize the situation, and when we arrive, those clowns who jump off the beam will not be able to set off the storm." Lin Xiao said coldly.

"Understood! Head! ”

"As soon as the external enemy is eliminated, the internal thief rises again! It's disgusting! After closing the line, Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

……

Guangxi, Nanning, the temporary line of Zhu Youlang, the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the small court, which had just fled here, was in a state of panic and noise.

Since the beginning of October, the Qing army has captured Guangzhou again after Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao defeated Li Chengdong's remnants on the east road, and Kong Youde on the north road captured Guilin, Emperor Yongli moved the capital from Zhaoqing, Wuzhou, and Xiangzhou all the way to Nanning and fled to Nanning.

Seeing that the Ming armies of all walks of life had lost their divisions and lost their territory all the way, had no combat effectiveness at all, and the situation was out of control, some people proposed the idea of attacking the peasant army, changing the suppression to appeasement, and temporarily relying on the strength of the peasant army to contain the Qing army.

Previously, the remnants of Li Zicheng's Dashun army, which was originally active in the Sichuan-Hubei border region, under the leadership of Li Chixin (formerly known as Li Guo, Li Zicheng's adopted son), Gao Bizheng (formerly known as Gao Yigong, Li Zicheng's brother-in-law) and Dang Shousu and Li Laiheng and others, insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty.

After the defeat in Guilin, Li Zicheng's other remnants of the peasant army under the command of Hao Shaoqi and Liu Tichun were rejected by the imperial court and friendly troops due to the corruption of military discipline.

After Yang Weizhi, the deputy envoy of Yunnan, led the army and the people to fight to quell the rebellion of the local Tusi Shadingzhou, it coincided with the former Zhang Xianzhong's old Western Army Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others who led tens of thousands of people to retreat from western Sichuan to Yunnan and Guizhou, Yang Weizhi led the troops to resist at first, and the army was defeated and fell into the water, and was rescued by Sun Kewang, expressing the will of the Lianming to resist the Qing Dynasty, Yang Weizhi was ordered to appease Sun Kewang's department, meet with the Lianming to resist the Qing, and fold the arrow as an oath, and the three chapters of the law: "Do not need to offer the name of the loyal year, still respect the Ming Dynasty; not to kill the people; Do not take women captive. ”

It's a pity that Yang Wei didn't know that Sun Kewang was a person with ill intentions, and he was becoming more and more arrogant because of his many soldiers.

Because the imperial court insisted on the ancestral system of not being crowned king with different surnames and failed to meet its requirements, Sun Kewang was dissatisfied, and personally led troops to the border of Guizhou in September, and sent his generals to lead 600 cavalry to Nanning, called to protect the imperial court.

coincided with the death of Li Guo's illness, and Gao Bizheng, the Duke of Yunguo, was also excluded by the ministers, and was invited to return to Sichuan to fight, and said a fair word: "This dynasty has no different surname to be crowned as a king, I broke the Beijing division, forced the first emperor to death, a heinous crime, and was forgiven by grace, and the duke was stopped." Zhang's stealing a corner, the crime is reduced, etc., it is enough to seal the public, and dare to hope for the king? From now on, we should serve the country with one heart and one heart, wash away the name of the thief, and do not deceive the weakness of the court. He also sent a letter to Sun Kewang to persuade him, and the meaning of the words was solemn.

Sun Kewang was annoyed and ashamed, and even besieged Gao Bizheng on the way back to Sichuan, killed Gao Bizheng and other major generals, and only Li Laiheng fled to Sichuan, gathered tens of thousands of people from the old department, re-branded the banner of "Kuidong Thirteen Families", and continued to resist the Qing Dynasty.

In October, the Qing army broke through Guangzhou and Guilin, menacing, and Emperor Yongli was in a hurry, promising to crown Sun Kewang as the king of Ji, but Sun Kewang still did not accept it, and insisted on asking for the king of Qin.
