Moments after the Ming army's right flank and the Chinese army had defeated the current enemy army, the rout spread like a virus, even the Governor Battalion, which had performed well before, and the cavalry sent to carry out the decapitation operation were no exception.

The position of the small shield on the left arm, there is still a faint pain, there was a weapon of a Qing army cavalry when rescuing Yiwu County last year, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, or a recurrence of the old injury. It's just that Chen Wen hasn't had time to pay attention to these at this moment, the Qing army has begun to disperse in a formation, and the Ming army has already launched a comprehensive pursuit, only the two bureaus sent to the left flank have completely exhausted their strength in the wheel battle, and even the work of occupying the battlefield and replenishing the knife has been handed over to the comrades of the Yiwu battalion.

After the Qing army's soldiers began to rout, Chen Jin's general flag also fell. Immediately afterwards, the generals of the Qing army, who were afraid of being attacked by the Ming army's concentrated fire, threw down their flags one after another, and began a great escape to the west. And those auxiliaries, who had always been regarded by Chen Wen as a full number, had already lost their formation at the beginning of the rout.

The tsunami-like shouts of killing from the mountains are getting farther and farther away, and the gray-blue torrent has begun to turn into bits and pieces of the brown earth to run and evaporate, while the fiery red magma is chasing the once invincible torrent like a bamboo. Until the original company camp of the Qing army, the gray-blue turned into several trickles and ran around there towards the pontoon bridge.

However, there were only a few pontoon bridges, and the Qing army was crowded there for a while, and they could not advance an inch, and even killed each other for this.

On the source of Shentang, there are constantly Qing troops falling into the water like dumplings, and when the Ming army's pursuers arrive, the Ming army's water camp is also belated, and began to throw oil and torches at the pontoon bridge.

Several pontoon bridges were set on fire, and the Qing troops were trapped east of Shentangyuan, and many of them jumped into the water in desperation and tried to swim across Shentangyuan. But there, the sailors of the Ming army waited there like crocodiles in the river, choosing people to eat.

………………

In addition to the left wing of the Governor Battalion and the two Fujian soldiers and horses, most of the other Qing troops were blocked by the Ming army to the east of Shentangyuan, leaving aside a very small number of stubborn resistance, as well as some who jumped into Shentangyuan, the rest have all been disarmed and surrendered, and were imprisoned in the prisoner camp by the Ming army.

At this moment, the Qing army's company camp on the west bank of Shentangyuan has been cleared, although the time for lunch has passed, but this does not prevent the Ming army celebrating the victory from enjoying this belated lunch in the camp. On the contrary, some of the recruits who went into battle for the first time seemed to be still frightened by the bloody battlefield woven by swords and swords, full of stumps, broken arms and hideous corpses, far less than those veterans who had begun to discuss how rich the rewards for military merit in this battle would be.

In this battle, the 8,000 Jinhua Ming army defeated the 15,000 Qing army green battalions from southwest Zhejiang, northern Fujian and Jiangxi in field battles, which can be called the most brilliant victory of the Ming army since the Qing army entered the customs.

Although the opponent is only the green battalion, and it is also the green battalion in the south, and there is no figure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's core armed Eight Banners Army, but compared with the battle of Siming Lake last year and the battle of Zhoushan last year, this battle swept away the decline of the Ming army in Zhejiang on the verge of extinction in the overall situation, and completely recovered the field, and the rest is the question of how to maximize the benefits.

Chen Wen has his own Chen Wen to work on these things, and it is normal for them, the soldiers who are working on the battlefield, to be excited about the upcoming reward at this moment.

"Haha, Brother Pang, brother, my team will be beheaded at the nineteenth level on the main battlefield just in this battle, this is not counting the pursuit later, military merits are absolutely indispensable, and if you don't get it, you can be promoted to an official."

Hearing this, another veteran who was holding a piece of fat and was sending it to his mouth directly dropped his chopsticks. "Third Brother Zhong, what is there to brag about your Dongyang camp in a few places. Our team is facing the Jiangxi standard battalion, let's not mention the beheading, and the military merits of the battle are naturally greater than ours. ”

The Wu Chang surnamed Pang finished speaking, but the previous piece of fat didn't know where to go, and was waiting for him to be stunned for a moment, but the veteran surnamed Zhong immediately sneered: "Isn't Jiangxi's standard battalion also a standard battalion, the year before last, the marshal defeated Zhejiang's standard battalion with one-fifth of his strength in Siming Mountain, and now Wang Shi's combat power is better than back then, Jiangxi's standard battalion is a bird." ”

"Cut!"

Hearing this, the veteran wanted to refute, but before he could speak, he heard another unquestionable voice.

"You two don't have to fight, the credit will not be small, and it will be enough, but this merit is not the turn of the two old camp leaders in Nantang and Yiwu."

"Phew!"

Hearing this, the two veterans who had just been arguing like cockfights immediately cast dissatisfied eyes on the person who spoke. But when they looked up, it was the military judge in the Nantang battalion who everyone was afraid of. That was the first batch of veteran officers under Chen Wen's command, and their qualifications were far higher than theirs, and the gap in military rank and the position they performed would never allow any doubts and rudeness.

Seeing this, the veteran surnamed Pang hurriedly got up and saluted, even the veteran surnamed Zhong said that he was not in the Nantang camp, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, and followed closely the actions of the "competitor" just now.

It's just that the unkind look on his face did not reprimand them for their rudeness, but added a large piece of meat to his bowl, and then added a piece of meat to the old soldier surnamed Zhong.

"Well, the big war has just ended, and the proper relaxation will not be cared about. But this is only for today, and tomorrow we will continue to pursue, don't make too late, don't make too much trouble, and hurt the harmony between comrades. ”

The flattered two veterans hurriedly responded, although they didn't quite understand why this living Hades was so kind today, but they were overjoyed that they had escaped the disrespectful punishment of the superior officer, and the high officer's personal treatment of the vegetables. It's just that they didn't know that the military judge turned around and wiped the shiny bronze badge on his chest with his hand that only belonged to members of the Huaxia Revival Association, and unconsciously showed a confident smile.

The disputes and speculations of the veterans about the merits and rewards also led many recruits, making them temporarily forget the bloodshed and cruelty of war. But in another area, these are being presented in another form in front of Chen Wen.

The camp where Chen Jinzhong's military camp was located had been temporarily transformed into a huge wound and sick place by Chen Wen at this moment, and the military doctors in Jinhua Town, the doctors recruited from Jinhua and Quzhou Longyou, as well as the nurses and civilians assigned here, were busy sweating profusely.

The wounded soldiers were taken on stretchers to the barracks of the sick and wounded wards, where they were given simple care and care by nurses to wait for the military doctor to come and treat them.

It's a pity that a large number of them were seriously wounded and died before they could wait for a limited number of military doctors to treat them. Their bodies will also be cremated in accordance with regulations to prevent the emergence and spread of epidemics.

This work will begin tomorrow before the army continues to march, but Chen Wen will still take the trouble to close his eyes and say a word or two of comfort for each fallen soldier, which is the only thing he can do at the moment. As for the follow-up pensions and meritorious rewards, the staff and the military judges of various ministries who have no tasks are also making statistics, and the sacrifices must not be worthless.

This work continued for a long time, until Qi Xiufeng, the head of the Judge Advocate General's Department, who accompanied the army, personally brought a document that Chen Wen stopped for the time being, and the document was full of data on beheadings, captures, and battle damage.

"In this battle, the Tartar Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian Standard Battalion, the Fujian Left Road General Battalion, the Zhejiang Quzhou Green Battalion, as well as the Zhejiang Chuzhou Green Battalion, the Zhejiang Wenzhou Green Battalion, the Fujian Jianning Mansion Green Battalion and most of the Jiangxi Admiral Battalion. A total of 15,000 Tartars and their auxiliaries were defeated. ”

This is already the limit of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in southwestern Zhejiang and northern Fujian, and there are still some garrisons in various places that may not even be able to defend themselves in the infant city, and the unexpected reinforcements -- the Jiangxi Admiral Biao Battalion -- are obviously not very suitable for the rhythm of the Zhejiang battlefield, and deserve to be hung up and beaten by the Nantang battalion.

"Tentatively, three thousand one hundred and fifty-eight beheaded, one hundred thousand four hundred and ninety-one prisoners, the seizures are not counted, and the identity of the officers has yet to be verified."

Most of the beheadings occurred after the defeat, and in fact, less than a thousand Qing troops were killed in battle on the battlefield. As for the captives, there were many auxiliaries among them, at least as far as Chen Wen knew, most of the Governor Battalion did escape.

"The casualties and light and serious casualties of our unit cannot be determined, and the flank troops of the two bureaus and the Yiwu battalion who resisted the Dubiao battalion were extremely damaged, and almost all of them were wounded."

The wounded are still being treated, and many of them will not survive, so it is uncertain how many actually died. As for the troops who resisted the Governor's Battalion, they did their best, and even played extraordinarily.

"Inform the whole army of the beheading and capture!"

"Obedience."

At the same time, a barracks in the sick and wounded center is full of wounded soldiers who have been treated, and they will stay here for the time being, waiting for a little recovery before being evacuated.

", Ann Cripple! Why the hell are you nesting here, haha. ”

Feng Biao, the captain of the first sentry of the Nantang Battalion, who came to visit the wounded soldiers of this outpost, had just seen a wounded soldier of this outpost, and when he turned around, he saw An Youfu, the captain of the infantry team who was with him at the beginning. I haven't seen him for a long time, especially after An Youfu inexplicably went to Yongkang County to be a garrison commander, Feng Biao, who has always been in the barracks, has never seen him again.

"Feng Da, you rotten mouth, Lao Tzu is really lame this time, but it weighs your heart."

An Youfu fulfilled his promise, when more and more soldiers were killed and wounded and could not continue to fight, and the formation that the front line was struggling to maintain began to waver, An Youfu picked up a spear and added a mandarin duck array killer team, which can be regarded as a return to the old business.

However, the gap between the two sides in terms of force ratio was too large, and the continuous wheel battle accelerated the fatigue of the Ming soldiers, and the mistakes caused by fatigue also led to the acceleration of casualties. Among them, there are also An Youfu who have not been a spearman for a long time, and their skills have begun to appear a little rusty. And his accident happened a second before he regained his sense of being a pikeman.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Feng Biao was stunned for a moment, and then the rough man gently lifted An Youfu's quilt, but what he saw was that even though the trouser leg of his right foot had been cut off a lot, he could already see the blood stains of the dry yin, and the bare calf was wrapped with bandages, it seemed that only in this way could this leg be saved.

"What's going on?"

"It's okay, let the Tartar stab him."

It was just a stab in the calf, but this shot not only pierced the flesh on the calf, but also injured the bones, and most importantly, even the tendons of the calf. And in the next battle, An Youfu, who gritted his teeth, did not take a step back, so that the hamstring that was originally just injured was broken in the continuous vigorous exercise, and when he was sent to the injured camp, the doctor said that even if it was connected, it would not be as flexible as before, and it would fall into some inconvenient walking, and I was afraid that I would not be able to fight again in the future.

"Grandma's, I heard Li Shuai say that those superintendent battalions also learned from us to organize the Mandarin Duck Formation, but you were injured by those dog mongrels?"

"Hmm."

Feng Biao's words aroused An Youfu's recollection, that the Governor Battalion did imitate their Mandarin Duck Formation, but if it weren't for Feng Biao's rehashing of the old matter, he would have also ignored some of the details.

The Mandarin Duck Formation of the Qing Army and the two bureaus he led can be said to be almost identical, the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team and the Firearms Team are mixed, but there seems to be no firefighters. This led to the fact that the rear row of those Qing troops often cut their own heads in the process of fierce battles, and as a result, the battle formation was incomplete, affecting the rhythm and coordination of attack and defense.

In addition, the training of the battalion was also very problematic, and the cooperation between the soldiers was very poor, and it did not seem to be as simple as the time was too short. As the first batch of veterans of the Nantang battalion, he knew very well that after only one month of training, the fighting ability that the armor post could show was something that the Qing army did not have. If you think about it carefully, it seems that the Qing soldiers lacked the atmosphere of mutual trust among them.

In addition, the Qing army made up its mind to use wheel warfare to win, but every rotation was to rotate together with the firearms team, not to mention the birds, the archers could be concentrated and thrown, obviously the officers of the Qing army were not familiar with how to use it, or they were not willing to command other people's subordinates at all, and they were not willing to hand over their subordinates to others, which would lead to this situation.

Thinking about it carefully, if it weren't for these many and the same establishment, they might not have been able to support the collapse of the Qing army at all. However, this fake is a fake, and no matter how well it is done in front of the real thing, it is a pile of garbage.

"Those bastards, they're so shameless!"

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, but the goodbye is in the injury and sick room, Feng Biao has already visited every wounded soldier at his outpost, and at this moment he sat on the edge of the bed and chatted with An Youfu. It wasn't until a long time later that Feng Biao had already had the idea of going back to patrol the camp, but he heard a noise outside, and then the source of the noise entered the big tent.

"Dashuai!"

Chen Wen had the title of Earl of Linhai, but he was not allowed to be called so in the army, and the officers and non-commissioned officers under his command could only be called by military rank, which was one of the ways he used to strengthen the class concept in the army. The effect is not obvious, but the title is carried out.

"Dashuai."

"Mr. An Qian, you don't have to get up, you can recuperate."

An Youfu, who was just about to get up, was pressed back by Chen Wen, lying on the bed and looking at Chen Wen, which made him a little unnatural.

"It is worthy of being an old man who has followed Ben Shuai for many years, and this time he has done a good job, and Ben Shuai is very pleased."

"Returning to the marshal, it is because the soldiers of those two bureaus are properly trained and fight bravely on the battlefield, and they dare not take credit for their humble duties."

Two of the two bureaus were from the Yongkang County garrison where An Youfu once served, while the other six posts were the original Dongyang County garrison. Chen Wen is very clear about this, and at the same time, it is even clearer that Liu Cheng, the former garrison general of Dongyang County, is An Youfu's old boss, and although the garrison of Yongkang County acted with this subordinate in the rebellion, he also lost his official position as a garrison after quelling the rebellion and was transferred back to the old camp as a training officer.

In Ann Youbless's words, there are words.

"Meritorious service must be rewarded, meritorious service must be corrected, this is the foundation of Qi Shaobao's army being invincible in the world, and it is also what this commander has repeatedly emphasized since he was in Dalan Mountain. Mr. An Qian, the injury is healed, Ben Shuai has a new battalion to hand over to you to bring, good work! ”

Hearing this, Feng Biao, who was standing on the side, immediately felt happy for his old brother, became a battalion officer, and jumped into the ranks of senior officers, which was a great thing, but the person who was rewarded in front of him was gloomy.

"But, Marshal, it may not even be convenient to walk after being humiliated......"

"Take care of your injuries, you don't have to worry about the rest."

Isn't he just a cripple general, and it's not like nothing in history. Besides, some people deserve the president, so there is nothing abnormal about this very potential ministry continuing to lead troops.

Leaving the wounded and sick place and walking on the way back to the Chinese army's big tent, Chen Wen couldn't help but think that he and Chen Jin had made a lot of mistakes in this battle. Chen Jin overestimated the capabilities of the Qing troops under his command, and he did not do a good job of intelligence work, resulting in no knowledge of the changes in the Inspector Battalion.

As for the final use of the hollow phalanx to achieve infantry and cavalry cooperation against superior cavalry, there are actually some debatable points.

The cavalry of the Qing army was divided into various departments, and the cronies of the cavalry sent by Chen Jin to lead the team died in the first confrontation as soon as they met, otherwise the cavalry of the Qing army would not have looked so clumsy. And his hollow phalanx, the strength is still too small, not thick enough, a five-foot spear to make up for some disadvantages, but in fact, if the cavalry of the Qing army is more elite and can achieve unified command, he may have to pay more casualties and even the price if he wants to drag the Qing army during that time.

This time, luck was on his side, but this was only possible on the basis of the strength accumulated from long-term training, as well as the problems of the Qing army that came this time.

However, this does not prevent Chen Wen from enjoying himself at the moment.

"You see, they are all surnamed Chen, why is there such a big gap in life?"

When I caught Chen Jin and asked him in person, I didn't know what it would be like. Well, it's better to speak the Tieling dialect, and the effect should be better. (To be continued.) )
