Chapter 142: The Seizure Is Huge

Xiao Tianjian led his troops to pursue for a whole day, only chasing the three patchwork officers and troops under Huang Degong's command collapsed, and the Xingtian army could not be said to be defeated when it came to the later pursuit, and it was stunned to chase until dark, the four battalions all ran away, and chased out more than 30 miles in one breath, and even almost chased to the county seat of Yexian County.

Huang Degong was still leading the generals of the headquarters, wanting to fight and retreat along the way, but when he was caught up by the rank and tail of the Xingtian army, he found that they couldn't stop this group of tigers and wolves at all. He didn't dare to enter the city to collect the remnants, and continued to flee around the city with more than 100 remnants of the defeated generals to flee to Wuyang before stopping, even his war horse was exhausted to death on the way, it can be said that after a battle, almost all the capital was lost except for the pants.

Xiao Tianjian waited in Hongshi Mountain until noon the next day, and then the various departments returned to the foot of Hongshi Mountain, and then looked at the soldiers of these battalions, all of them were tired of crooked armor and slanted armor, covered with wind and dust, but their spirits were all very good, when they came back, they not only brought back a large number of captured materials, but also brought back a lot of captured prisoners of war, this time it can be said that Huang Degong was completely abolished, and in a short period of time, Huang Degong could no longer become the enemy of the Xingtian Army. As for the officials and soldiers from Runing Mansion and Gwangju, not to mention, directly after Huang Degong's defeat, they scattered on the spot, running all over the mountains, so that the Xingtian Army had no interest in capturing prisoners.

The most won in this battle is the cavalry battalion under the command of Situ Liang, they rely on far more than the infantry's mobility ability, the farthest and fastest pursuit, as long as a large number of officers and soldiers are found along the way, they will charge over, break them up, hand them over to the infantry army that followed up to clean up the mess, and then urge the horse to chase down again, so repeatedly, like a heavy hammer, always beat Huang Degong There is no way to collect the remnants, and finally Huang Degong broke down, and he ran away first.

In the past, before the Xingtian Army did not form a large number of cavalry teams, although fighting with the enemy army can often defeat the enemy, but because of the lack of mobile strength, it has never been able to completely kill the enemy, and now after the cavalry battalion, the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army has been upgraded to a higher level, and the role of the cavalry can be said to be incisive, and finally the Xingtian Army has improved the arms of the Xingtian Army, so that the Xingtian Army has a stronger follow-up combat capability.

Counting the seizures this time, Huang Degong brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses this time, the Xingtian Army killed more than 1,000 and captured nearly 3,000, and the rest were completely dispersed, making them a rout, scattered into all parts of the Central Plains, and it was impossible to be collected by the government anymore. Although the Xingtian Army does not bother to equip these miscellaneous cannons now, it is also quite good to pull this thing to equip the reserve camp or put it on important points to use as defensive firepower.

And the thousands of officers and troops led by Huang Degong this time were transferred from the Beijing division by order, as a resource for the imperial court to support Xiong Wencan's suppression, so most of the soldiers under Huang Degong's command were born in the Beijing camp, and the quality of equipment far exceeded that of the local army in Henan. Along the way, they collected all the armor that had been discarded by the officers and soldiers, loaded them back with captured mules and horses, and piled them up at the foot of the Red Rock Mountain, where the armor alone was as high as a hill, and the officers in charge of logistics were so happy that they grinned and complained at the same time, because if they re-selected and matched these messy armors into a complete set, I don't know how many nights they would have to stay up to complete!

In addition to armor, weapons have also been seized a lot, all kinds of bows and crossbows, knives, guns, shields and axes, hooks and forks, needless to say, there are thousands of pieces, what is even funnier is that the Beijing battalion led by Huang De is also equipped with a lot of bird guns and even Lu Mi guns, and the old-fashioned firearms, three-eyed guns, kidnappers and other miscellaneous firearms are removed, and there are hundreds of bird guns that can be used alone, in this era, it is also a very sharp weapon, if the two armies face each other, in terms of infantry firepower, In fact, the official army under Huang Degong's command is not necessarily much worse than the Xingtian Army, and in the case of a duel, even if the Xingtian Army can win in the end, it will have to pay a lot of price, but it is precisely because the two wings of the official army collapsed too quickly that Huang Degong did not have the opportunity to fight with the Xingtian Army, and as a result, these sharp firearms in the world had no chance to play their role, and they all fell into the hands of the Xingtian Army.

Xiao Tianjian personally inspected a few captured Lumi guns, and found that these Lumi guns were extremely well-made, and the level of manufacturing technology definitely exceeded the current self-made bird guns of the Xingtian Army, and after a test firing, it was found that both the power and the range of the guns were more than the bird guns and self-generated fire guns currently equipped by the Xingtian Army, but unfortunately the number was a little small, but there were only more than 100 of them, but even so, if more than 100 such Lumi guns were fired in a salvo, the Xingtian Army would also suffer a lot of losses, and it was no wonder that Huang De led a mere 6,000 officers and troops, Defeated the nearly 100,000 troops of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, they did have this strength, but now it is good, they are all cheaply given to the Xingtian Army.

However, although the bird guns and Lumi guns used by the officers and soldiers can be used, they do not have the butt of the gun, and it is not convenient to aim when operating, and the gun is not stable, so if the Xingtian Army wants to equip it, it will have to be handed over to the craftsman battalion to replace the butt before it can be used by the troops, and it will take a little effort to do it.

In addition, there are a lot of mules and horses carts, a swarm of rockets, ammunition, silver taels for the army's rewards, silk silk, and a large amount of grain and grass, which are still being transported back by the Xingtian Army in a steady stream, in short, as long as it can be cleaned up, the Xingtian Army is like a big cleaning, and there is nothing left, which greatly enriches the material reserves of the Xingtian Army, and the abundance of the capture is even dazzled by Xiao Tianjian, the commander.

Of course, they also captured a large number of people in the area of Runing Mansion who were requisitioned by the official army, but for these captured people, the treatment given by the Xingtian Army was different from those prisoners, just enclosed them in one place, did not inflict any harm and abuse, gave them food, and when the war was over, Xiao Tianjian also personally went to appease them, and each of them gave one or two silver as travel expenses, and each of them gave some food, so that they could return to their hometowns and go home.

These people felt like a dream one by one, they thought that their lives were at rest, and they were so frightened that they were scared, but they didn't expect Xingtianjun to treat them so well, with good food and drink, and everyone sent them silver and food to send them home, and after understanding it one by one, they all quickly knelt down for Xiao Tianjian, kowtowed and thanked him, and some of them were moved to cry, if it weren't for most of them remembering that they still had families at home, they would definitely not go home, even so, Some of the bachelors immediately decided not to leave, and stayed here directly, to follow the Xingtian Army.

Niu Jinxing looked at this group of people who slowly dispersed step by step with a smile, and suddenly smiled at Xiao Tianjian: "After such a group of people return to their hometown, presumably this Runing Mansion will not be far from returning to the rule of Dashuai!" The handsome can do this, and I am deeply admired! ”

Xiao Tianjian turned around and smiled at Niu Jinxing: "Isn't Xiao exactly for them?" How could I, Xiao, treat them badly? When this battle is fought, the common people are still the most affected, so it is better to end it quickly, and it will also leave some more vitality for our China! Let's go! It's time to go back! ”

After saying that, Xiao Tianjian took the reins handed over by the iron head, turned over and shook the reins of the horse, and then galloped towards the direction of Baofeng County, looking at Xiao Tianjian's back on horseback, Niu Jinxing suddenly bowed deeply and bowed to Xiao Tianjian.
