Cao Bianjiao's military discipline was strict, so that Jiangling City quickly settled down, and the various treasury yamen were not lost, and Cao Bianjiao was also after taking Jiangling City, immediately sent troops and horses to occupy various key places, strictly prevent the Dashun army from counterattacking, at this moment, the most important thing is to be stable, step by step, step by step, step by step, can not pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.

"Let's talk about it, is there anything worth noting about our troops and horses in this battle?" After Cao Bianjiao occupied Jiangling, he also convened various generals and opened a summary meeting.

The Chinese nation has always been a nation that is not good at summing up, with a history of 5,000 years, how much rich experience has been accumulated, but today, in all aspects, there has been obvious sluggishness, whether it is cultural or military aspects, this is the case, let's just say firearms, which were made by the Han people and brought to the West by the Mongols, but in three or four hundred years, the Westerners have caught up in this technology, which is a shame! Cao Bianjiao started the post-war summary after the war ended.

"What do you mean?" Everyone was a little confused and didn't understand what Cao Bianjiao meant.

Cao Bianjiao can also understand that the people present are all people who have been in the battlefield for a long time, and there is no shortage of experience, but they have never been so systematically summarized, so when Cao Bianjiao created this move, they didn't react.

"Summing up, summing up experience with each other, that's why I summoned everyone here, I only know the people who rush forward, that's stunned, you are all generals of various armies, you should learn to sum up your experience in this area, understand your strengths, face up to your shortcomings, carry forward your strengths, make up for your shortcomings, and improve the troops, so that you can continue to grow, understand!"

"Yes!"

"Since you don't say it, then let me say it, first of all, let's talk about the artillery unit, the action is uncoordinated, one cannon is finished, this cleaning the gun chamber, reloading each other restricts, there is no order, it cannot be done in one go, it needs to be better running-in, every step must be strictly executed, orderly, so that it can be re-launched in the shortest possible time. Speaking of the infantry, the pace of the attack is slow, especially the musketeers and shield men do not cooperate closely......"

Cao Bianjiao also said what he saw on the battlefield one by one, analyzed them, and conducted an in-depth analysis and explanation, which also made them pay more attention to the cooperation in all aspects in the future training, after all, among these soldiers, most of them have not experienced much war, and have not completely grown up, and it still takes time, these soldiers and horses come from different places, and the run-in in all aspects still needs a process, and continuous summarization can better shorten this process and complete the closest cooperation.

"This time, everyone is fighting bravely and making great contributions, reward the three armies tonight, and tell the soldiers that there is not much wine, but there is enough meat, let them have a good meal."

After summarizing the criticism, Cao Bianjiao also showed a smile, the flaws in the battle could not cover up their merits, everyone fought very well in this battle, so Cao Bianjiao would not deny their merits, so at this time, Cao Bianjiao can give them only these.

At this time in Hanchuan, Zuo Liangyu also personally led 200,000 troops to the city, 200,000 against 20,000 in Hanchuan City, it can be said that it occupies an absolute advantage, before this, the official army and the Dashun army have always fought more with less, and it has always been tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of the Dashun army, and the official army is just a few thousand, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and the most one is the battle of Zhuxian Town, 180,000 troops, this time it is an unprecedented one.

In the face of the 200,000 Zuo Liangyu soldiers and horses outside Hanchuan City, Hanchuan Guard General Xie Yinglong is also very helpless, the flag outside the city covers the sun, and the entire Hanchuan City is surrounded, ten to one soldiers and horses, Zuo Liangyu is also violent, wants to take revenge on the shame, was driven all the way from Xiangyang, this face is lost, he has fought a lifetime of battles, when has he been so embarrassed, this time when he received Cao Bianjiao's letter, he immediately expressed his approval and led the army to attack.

"Ma Shixiu, you lead 3,000 of my personal soldiers to form a battlefield supervision team, the whole army will impact me, and those who dare to retreat will be killed!"

Zuo Liangyu was also angry this time, he was the commander of the three armies, but he was restrained by his subordinates, and what he wanted to do depended on whether they were willing or not, what a nest, Zuo Liangyu decided to rebuild his majesty this time, think about Cao Bianjiao, that is in the army, it is a word, and the composition of soldiers and horses is complex, there are veterans of Liaodong, as well as Shandong soldiers, Jianghuai soldiers, and now there are Liukou soldiers and Hunan soldiers, but they are still handled in an orderly manner, and he feels ashamed to think about it.

"Siege ......" under Zuo Liangyu's military order, 200,000 soldiers, divided into eight directions, and launched an attack on Hanchuan City at the same time, Zuo Liangyu is going to be desperate, not acting according to the rules, this siege is a focus, concentrating superior forces, suppressing the defenders in the city, breaking into the city, but Zuo Liangyu is very clear that his soldiers and horses are no longer the soldiers and horses before, these people almost have not participated in any war, and their combat effectiveness is limited, if the war is unfavorable, was afraid that there would be signs of defeat, so Zuo Liangyu did not play his cards according to common sense, and took a group of dogs to fight lone wolves, consuming him.

Two hours, just two hours, Hanchuan was lost, the city defense was breached, under the fierce attack of Zuo Liangyu's 200,000 army, the defenders in Hanchuan City could not resist, turned into street fighting, but they did not last long in the street fighting, after all, Zuo Liangyu's men and horses were too many, and the law of slaughtering the city was implemented, one hundred and ten people were a team, house-to-house search, the whole city searched for those remnants of the defeated soldiers, the whole Hanchuan fell into blood and fire, 108,000 people, there were only 30,000 people, and the Dashun garrison was 20,000 horses, Except for the four or five thousand people who surrendered, the rest were all killed, and Zuo Liangyu also lost twenty or thirty thousand, but he was not heartbroken, Zuo Liangyu included them in the army just to let them sell their lives.

Zuo Liangyu and Cao Bianjiao, the two only two remaining famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, launched an offensive together, successively breaking through Jiangling, Hanchuan, Anlu, Dangyang, Jingmen, Suizhou and other places, the counteroffensive of the official army also shook the Dashun army left in Hubei, Gao Yigong and Feng Xiongshou stationed in Xiangyang were also worried, just half a month ago, when Cao Bianjiao was still preparing, Li Zicheng transferred 20,000 troops from Hubei to the north, and cooperated with Henan's soldiers and horses to cross the Yellow River to capture Shandong, at this moment, Hubei soldiers and horses are actually not much, And Zuo Liangyu, Cao Bianjiao, plus Liu Xizuo's soldiers and horses, that is 300,000, four times as much as theirs!

"Shrink the soldiers and horses, stick to Xiangyang!" This is Gao Yigong, Feng Xiongshou after the discussion of the decision, at the moment their soldiers and horses on the periphery are scattered, easy to be broken by the officers and soldiers, the loss is their overall strength, rather than this, it is better to gather all the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang, stick to Xiangyang, Xiangyang is fully armed, the city wall is strong, and the most important thing is that Zuo Liangyu has been deeply cruel to the people of Xiangyang along the way, their resistance to the official army is very high, and they have a solid backing.
