?“ As a matter of course, our army has withstood three enemy counterattacks. A cavalryman ran over to Lu Baodao.

Lu Bao nodded, tugging at the reins in his hand and scanning the battlefield.

There are 5,000 captive soldiers on the battlefield who are dejectedly cleaning up the battlefield, these are the soldiers of the Qing army who were captured in the previous battles, these farmers and tenants of the landlord's family who have just been pulled out of the fields, the long-term workers are completely vulnerable, the 26th Brigade of the field brigade has pushed the battle to the bank of the Yellow River in just three days, captured most of the Qing army land occupied by the Qing Dynasty, pushed the border line to the border of Shandong Prefecture, and stopped to build a defensive line.

Now the field brigade belongs to the B-class field brigade, and he, the deputy general and brigade commander, does his job very easily, and it is not challenging to face the Daqing troops of the Great Qing Dynasty, which are almost all cold weapon troops.

He didn't bother to watch this kind of unchallenging battle, and left it to the commanders of the three regiments below to play freely, but he stayed at the brigade headquarters station dozens of miles behind, and a small county town helped the experienced civilian officials from Henan Prefecture sent by the Huaxia Army to stabilize the place, command the militia troops to arrest spies, deal with the resistance of those landlords and gentry, and do the work of the garrison commander.

"How many enemies were eliminated and how many prisoners were captured today?" He asked the cavalryman who had been sent by the commander of the general who was guarding the thirty-mile defensive line.

"General Qiyu, today's enemy has made some improvements compared to the previous enemies, three thousand green battalions, two thousand village warriors, one thousand cavalry, repeatedly attacked our army's defense line three times, the first time it was sent to some village warriors, but under our crossbow arrows and bows and arrows, obediently dropped a hundred corpses and retreated, the second time the enemy from another direction, dispatched 1,500 green battalion soldiers with fire guns and dragged tiger squatting cannons, and at the same time drove 1,000 village warriors to attack our defense line first, Instead, five hundred cavalry were sent in an attempt to assault our defense line from the front. ”

Lu Bao said with a smile: "Good guy, the momentum is not small, so many people, and there is a voice to attack the west, the Qing army on the opposite side has gained experience in fighting, or a guy who fights with his brain has come to command, and he actually knows to test you."

The cavalry smiled: "General, it's not! A regiment of our army currently has 3,000 soldiers and horses, 2,000 musketeers, 200 pikemen, 200 archers, 200 sword and shield men, and 200 cavalry sent by the brigade headquarters, plus 60 cavalry of the personal guards, it is very difficult to defend a 30-mile-long defensive line, there is always a need for fortifications everywhere, loopholes everywhere, the perimeter can only be reconnoitred by cavalry, between the various defensive positions can only be patrolled by cavalry, infantry patrols instead of defensive soldiers, the enemy has seized this weakness, so he constantly tests us. ”

Lu Bao nodded, the B-level field brigade is like this, a total of only 4,000 musketeers, 2,000 cavalry, and 2,000 troops at the brigade headquarters, but these 2,000 troops are divided into various arms, including civilian personnel, and the total strength is only 9,000 troops, which is still the strength of the B-level field brigade after it has been upgraded, and the previous B-level field brigade was only 8,500 troops.
