Three hours after the loyal battalion led by Gao Yigong ended the battle with the Qing army, Li Guo sent the party leader Su with 5,000 elite infantry to help, along with 3,000 people, half of whom came to pick up the wounded and prisoners, and half of them to transport the arrows, ammunition and shells that had been consumed.

Wang Neng's 5,000 troops, plus the remaining more than 7,000 troops of the loyal battalion, more than 5,000 troops of the party leader, and 1,500 people, this force has recovered nearly 20,000 troops.

Zhang Qiang shook his head with the vision of the war eagle, he thought that the new military town of the Qing army was so powerful, it turned out to be just a group of infantry with muskets, which was very different from the concept of the Huaxia army's emphasis on firepower output, defeating the enemy from a distance, and chasing the cavalry, so he didn't look at the next battle and withdrew from the war eagle's vision.

For Hong Chengchou's fear or worry about the new army of the Qing army, at this moment Zhang Qiang has begun to despise it from the bottom of his heart, this is simply a pile of waste, if this is allowed to be done by those foreigners, they will definitely have to play new tricks.

But if the Qing army is allowed to do it, they advocate brainless bravery, as well as the strategy of calculating each other, and they will never use their brains to play strategy or tactics on the battlefield.

Zhang Qiang touched his chin and wondered if he would do something more to let those soldiers escape back, and then be incorporated into other New Army units and continue to infiltrate and disintegrate the enemy.

Thinking of this, he immediately executed it, called Mi Lin over, and as soon as the two of them said these ideas, Mi Lin patted the table and said: "My lord is really powerful, I will arrange to send more low-level personnel into Hong Chengchou's Qing army, and our infiltration of his newly formed new military town troops is not enough, so let them prepare some manpower and send more than 1,000 people to the intelligence personnel in Wang Neng's hands and those who have always been loyal to us."

Let these people flee back, after a period of time, at least mix the bottom of the chief, Wu Chang or something, so that basically the bottom of the troops mastered, if there are one or two people like General Wang Neng, then we can control some more troops, even if we can't mix to such a high position, we can also mix a general, a hundred households or something, and it can also play a role when the time comes. ”

Such things have been carried out long ago in the era of Tian Bin, but after Tian Bin left, the Huaxia army had to deal with all kinds of battles, and the execution speed was very slow, and the intensity of penetration was not enough.

Yes, Zhang Qiang wanted to use the old cliché of infiltrating, ambushing spies, and then subverting Hong Chengchou again, anyway, he had already buried a lot of people in the opponent's team, but those people were transferred to Yanjing because of the new army in the first town where Tian Bin was located, to protect Dolgon, and to stand for Dolgon, so that time almost all the efforts made by Tian Bin were evacuated, and this time Zhang Qiang decided to increase his efforts, do it big, do it quickly, and quickly disintegrate the enemy.

The Qing army of Hong Chengchou's department, which has just been restored to twenty-eight new military towns, was defeated by the loyal battalion this time, and there are only twenty-seven new military towns, only one more than when Hong Chengchou was the strongest, but this extra one actually has no combat effectiveness, not to mention one, in fact, the new military town of Hong Chengchou's department now has the strongest fifteen combat effectiveness, because two were sent to Haoge, where Kong Youde was, and where two were eliminated in Huguangzhou, in fact, there are only eleven really left, and the others were established later, It can only be said that they have a little combat effectiveness, and the last few that were established can be said to have no combat effectiveness.

Because Shunzhi and Xiaozhuang are not vegetarians, since they know that the firearms army is powerful, can people not mix sand into your troops?

Therefore, the newly established Hong Chengchou does not have a high degree of control, so let a group of Manchu nobles and imperial relatives who only know how to ride horses and shoot arrows, eat meat, high-profile and pretend, and pretend to control the new army, and what combat power is left except for infighting.

Therefore, Zhang Qiang thought that it was all a pile of waste and garbage, and he only needed to send people in to rebel, harass him, and finally strike a counterattack.

After the two of them discussed, within a few days, they screened out hundreds of elite personnel to make up and sneaked into Nanyang Mansion and joined Wang Neng's team, and then Wang Neng replaced them with some people and the personnel to be sent, and then reduced the number of soldiers and horses by 2,000, and these two thousand soldiers and horses were reimbursed when they attacked a county town in Pingdingshan, erasing their traces, and adding some captured and recruited people, Wang Neng's army still has 5,000 soldiers and horses, but in the eyes of others, His troops had already suffered heavy losses, and the threat to the Loyal Battalion was not so high.

This is similar to the family Ding was killed by the enemy, if you want to cultivate so many family members, you need to pay a lot of time and energy, Gao Yigong, who has always looked at the problem with this concept, has always used this concept to look at the problem from Wang Neng's defense, to Wang Neng's closeness, Wang Neng also appropriately showed goodwill, stood in line, and soon became Gao Yigong's henchman, although the weight of this henchman is not as good as those who follow Gao Yigong to fight in the north and south, the generals, and the henchmen of the old battalion veterans are so good and close, but how can they be regarded as usable people in the eyes of Gao Yigong.

There are only 2,000 available soldiers and horses left in Wang Neng's hands, plus 2,000 soldiers and prisoners converted into troops, which is a five-fold discount compared to when he took refuge.

Soon, Gao Yigong led the loyal battalion to recover Pingdingshan, expand the territory of the loyal battalion somewhat, and resume the previous threat to the Qing army, after the war, Gao Yigong left the heavy losses of Wang Nengbu and Liu Guoxuan together to sort out the remnants of the army, garrison Pingdingshan, and then continue to make trouble for the Qing army with the troops of the reinforcement party leader Su, attacking the Qing army in the Zhumadian area.

The two sides fought a tug-of-war and a war of attrition in the area of Zhumadian, and the Qing army of Hong Chengchou's department stayed out of the matter from the beginning, and fell into the quagmire of war again after a year and a half.

In the face of such a situation, Hong Chengchou did not dare to send his beloved Xinjun Town to fight with the loyal battalion, he assigned Ma Bao to continue to guard Zhumadian, but it was the original cold weapon troops, and the green battalion soldiers and Han army flag soldiers were drawn from the various Yangtze River defense units, as well as the Manchu soldiers and Gao Yigong in Zhumadian to consume each other.

The strength of one or two thousand troops on both sides is that today you fight me, tomorrow I will fight you, and at most four or five thousand troops will fight a decisive battle, and neither of them will be able to help the other side.

After this battle, Li Guo began to think about the way out of the loyal battalion.

In fact, the way out in his heart was to go to Sishan Prefecture, northwest of Shaanxi and Gansu, where the enemy's troops were weak, and although the population was small, the land was barren, and various ethnic groups lived together, and there were many contradictions, it was the only way out for the loyal battalion if they did not want to send people under the fence, or if they were dismantled and destroyed.

He did not agree with Gao's decision to defect to the Huaxia Army.

And Zhang Qiang didn't take them seriously, they were trapped beasts in Zhang Qiang's eyes, and they were going to perish in the end.

His eyes were still fixed on Hong Chengchou's Qing army, as well as the recent contradictions between the Southern Ming Kingdom and the Yongli Ming Li Dingguo Department.

The struggle between the two sides for the territory of several counties has changed from the beginning of the verbal battle, to the subsequent repeated frictions, small-scale battles, to the point where the generals of both sides led troops to besiege each other's cities.

The battle between the two Southern Ming countries is even more tragic, no one is convinced, everyone thinks that the other party's combat power is not strong, they are all enemies at the same level, so it is possible to face to face duel, if the Qing army comes, this situation will not appear, there is a half chance that the Ming army will escape first, avoid the Qing army, and then wait for the opportunity to launch a few small-scale battles, obtain some military merits, exaggerate the military merits and report to the imperial court, waiting for promotion, promotion.
