Chapter 273 Capture and combing

When the hundreds of long guns on the opposite bank were detoured, and several horizontal formations were completed on the flanks of the enemy, which was completely lacking cover, and they were fired in unison, there was basically no suspense about what was borrowed.

The sudden projectiles almost swept through their long line of rear formations, and only the first round of volleys showed a loosening of the formation, and then the second round of volleys directly smashed those attempts to divide the troops, and dozens of armored soldiers in large armor were swept to the ground by the rain of bullets, revealing some light soldiers behind them.

Then after the third round of volleys, there was confusion on the other side, and the white soldiers led a short charge, and immediately scattered these first enemy positions that could not be taken care of in one breath, and at this time the men and horses arranged in front of them also responded to the spear team striding forward, and the gunners loaded bayonets and followed the white soldiers, and launched a counter-charge from both sides.

In this way, the enemy who was engaged in a frontal battle also collapsed, and became a plate of loose sand that broke through with two flanking attacks.

Then came the time of slashing and capturing the prisoners, and in addition to the spear corps remaining in place to stabilize their positions, the bayonet-mounted gunners also joined the sequence of swords on the battlefield.

Although there were still people in the enemy who tried to hold their ground, and after fleeing for a certain distance, they regrouped the people around them, but at this time, the pursuing white soldiers would bypass them and continue to pursue those who had fallen behind, leaving those who had gathered in place to the following team.

After stopping and gathering fire with dozens of long guns and knocking out the backbone of it, these resistances that had finally gathered disappeared and left behind a few hoarse and exhausted recalcitrant rebels, and turned into a fleeing rout again.

In the end, the enemy of about a few thousand people was able to scatter and escape into the buildings in the Jingkou City, only a very few of them escaped the net, and the rest were all shed down and turned into Chen Heng's corpse or captured on his knees.

Then I also crossed the grain river with my own personal regiment, and pressed the battle for the men and horses who cleaned the battlefield, and the city to this large field on the bank of the river was the so-called corpses lying on the pillows, throwing away armor, folding flags and abandoned weapons, piling up like a mountain.

It seemed to be frightened by this round of fighting, until the brigade cleaned up the battlefield and approached the city, slowly taking the capture and capture of the booty in the sound of gold, and slowly retreated to the foot of the small gold mountain on the other side of the grain river.

In the continuous observation of the close mirror, although there are still many figures watching from a distance, no one has tried to form a team and continue to attack. We were able to calmly return to our original line of defense.

"There are no one hundred and twenty-three ...... in the array"

The fifth level, who was in charge of statistics, reported to me in a low voice.

"Among them, there were forty-eight spearmen, fifty-five white soldiers, seven auxiliaries, and thirteen gunsmiths......"

"Seventy-nine others were seriously injured...... One hundred and sixty-seven minor injuries"

"No one is missing, and no ...... left behind"

"The corpses and the wounded have all been brought back......"

"Bury the ...... on the spot according to the routine"

I thought about it for a moment, and commanded with some weariness

"By the way, let that group of ready-made monks do a ritual ...... Make a name for the god card, and bring it back with the pension list."

It was a battle, all three battles were victorious, the number of casualties was less than 200, the first battle of Xiaojinshan defensive battle was almost zero casualties, and the second battle of Lengquan Pavilion because of the absolute superiority of troops, from the middle of the flowering to force down the guards, and only ten digits of damage, so the real losses were mainly on the defense line on the other side of the grain river, and the enemy's archers were close to shoot, and the limited casualties were caused.

In the first battle, thousands of Runzhou soldiers were broken, more than 1,000 were beheaded and more than half were captured; World War II killed and injured hundreds of people and forced more than 1,000 precipitation divisions; And after three battles, thousands of enemy troops were killed before and after, which can be described as a rather beautiful exchange ratio.

The lethality and advantages of firearms in the long-range and near-range cooperation are gradually revealed in the confrontation of the battle sequence, which makes those who have been newly added and who have doubts about my special emphasis on firepower output have nothing to say at all.

What is more crucial is to use these enemies as a sharpening and training of hands, and tempering the morale and conviction of the troops. To use a gamification term, it's an increase in skill proficiency and experience points from troops.

In the following period, the contingent of temporarily contained by our headquarters and the prisoners in our possession were rapidly expanding several times, and we had to maintain a certain defensive position, because almost all the remnants of the officers and troops who had been scattered and fled in Jingkou gathered at the foot of Xiaojin Mountain after hearing the news.

Therefore, under the overcrowding, I had to rearrange a perimeter defense line with Zhang Lizheng's second battalion and the fourth battalion formed by Ruo Yu's selection of brave soldiers from the friendly forces on the other side of the grain river.

With Yang Zaixing's temporary photograph, the fourth battalion that was mainly rearmed with captured cold weapons, and Ning Zhiyuan was the deputy and commander of the first regiment, both of them can be regarded as veterans of the traditional army, although one is a righteous leader from an old military household, and the other is a former cavalry officer directly under the Southeast Road, but he has a lot of experience in the battle of cold weapons.

And Zhang Xian, who had some cousins before, became a temporary deputy lieutenant of the second regiment of the fourth battalion.

This promotion is not very abrupt, at least when the enemy counterattacked before, among the officers and soldiers who were temporarily contained, only the team he led and gathered did not release ducks, so it was not my word of nepotism, but more like a simple promotion due to things.

And his brother Niu Gao, because of his cousin in the sneak attack, has a place in my survival team. This, in turn, indirectly confirms a certain kind of foresight and insight of people. At least along the way, there are few people I value who can't stand out.

Then, in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening, I repelled and thwarted several attempts of varying scale from the city, and the northern soldiers entrenched in the city finally gave up my efforts in this direction, and left the ruined city one after another from other directions, and I had no intention of stopping them.

Only a small number of chasseurs were sent to harass and attack, so that they did not have enough time and time to calmly carry out organized follow-up destruction and burning of the remaining parts of Jingkou.

Then the third battalion, which had a large number of students, was left behind to continue to guard the Xiaojinshan position, mainly to warn the Jiangbei Army on the other side, and once again take the risk of doing something to the bottom of the net. I took the other two large battalions that had been preliminarily rested, and the fourth battalion, which was twice as large as the number of Yan zhòng, and so easily regained the disastrous Jingkou urban area.

Then, in the southeast and southwest directions, an extended perimeter and a cordon were established, and then the city began to be cleared and the people who were contained in it were organized.

This rectification is not so easy, before under the threat of the enemy's strength, these allies with different numbers can still reluctantly obey orders, but once the crisis is gone, all kinds of moths, along with the selfishness and desires of some of them, began to emerge one after another.

Complaints and words of resignation emerge in an endless stream, all kinds of provocations and brawls and noisy troubles, emphasizing and relying on the cohesion of small groups, reflecting their own value or self-esteem, and asking for better conditions and treatment. Even the newly formed Fourth Battalion was also a little unstable.

It's a pity that my subordinates are not fuel-efficient, anyway, they are just a general number on the books that have not been registered, in fact, there are more and less, and there is not much difference. Those who put forward all kinds of demands and controversies on the surface and test my bottom line are okay, but a grinding of living sin is waiting for them.

And behind them, all kinds of inciting trouble and stirring up strife and provocation of the series and changes, by the obviously uneven companions, through guò some kind of interests and the first secret report, I Yu Crisp directly to find the moon high wind and dark night, ask them to go to the Dragon Lord as a guest, anyway, we are on the riverside, all kinds of aftermath means are convenient. Egami has been fighting again, and it would not be surprising that there were a few more floating corpses of missing people or something.

The candidate responsible for acting is Yang Zaixing, the temporary commander of the fourth battalion, this somewhat gloomy and selfish deed, I originally wanted to hand it over to Mu Long, a dead face paralyzed person, but he took the initiative to ask to contract it on the grounds that he was responsible, which is also a certain determination of him to show sincerity and loyalty to me.

Therefore, overnight, they were suddenly arrested, or dragged out of the bed, after a number of crimes, whether it was all kinds of scolding or crying and begging, all of them were stuffed, tied stones to their ankles with cowhide ropes, and directly planted the desperately struggling and writhing human bodies like lotus flowers, from the offshore boats, to the Yangtze River, which was light and trouble-free.

I don't need a trial procedure, nor do I need a complete chain of evidence, and in this extraordinary period in the battlefield, cutting through the mess with a quick knife is the most direct and effective means.

Of course, in the end, I still left a few people behind, who were already frightened and urinated, and did not agree and promise to correct those "missing people", fornicate with the enemy, abandon them and abscond.

Du Shiyi, known as the "little (white-faced) joining the army", witnessed the whole process with a pale face at the scene, and was responsible for recording the confessions of these people, which was also the inevitable process of his entry into my small circle.

After these unstable factors were suddenly reduced, the rest of the people stopped a lot and worked hard, which also made me realize that sometimes fear is also a means of controlling people's hearts, not just the tenderness and grace of personal participation.

I've been delaying this for a few days here, and even if the officers and soldiers in Jiangning are sluggish, they should react.

The first to appear on the west side of the outskirts of Kyoguchi were scouts galloping on horseback, and then to large groups of cavalry, covered in blood, very tired, some with suspicious human heads hanging from their saddles, and looking like they had just experienced a great battle.
