Chapter 207: Annihilation of the Enemy

After half an hour of fierce fighting, Cheng Xueqi's Huai army was defeated, and in the dark night, the remnants of the army retreated, and many people were chased and killed in the escape.

Luo Yang felt that it was not interesting, Nima, just this ability, the upright Huai Army, famous all over the world, Cheng Xueqi, Huai Jun

What about the first war general, that's it,

Since it is the main force of the Huai army, it cannot be let go, and then it will recur and bring disaster to the country and the people, so Luo Yang called, political propaganda, threats and induces the enemy to surrender, otherwise, resolutely kill,

Everywhere were the shouts of the Chinese officers and soldiers, "Surrender, surrender, the soldiers of the Huai army surrendered." ”

"Surrender the gun and don't kill, and those who surrender kneel."

"Those who refuse to surrender will be killed."

He had already learned tricks, and many officers and soldiers shouted: "Cheng Xueqi was killed." ”

"Wu Changqing was killed."

"Ding Ruchang has surrendered."

These tricks made the scattered Huai army even more panicked,

The fundamental thing is still weapons, not at all at the same level, when fighting at night, the Huai army only has swords, guns and cold weapons, and the attack of the Huaxia army, either grenades or canister bombs, as well as the bombardment of flying thunder artillery, completely bombed the Huai army to the north,

"King Rui, go back, it's okay." Many pro-soldiers comforted Luo Yang,

"It's okay, this king wants to see how the arrogant Huai Army died."

The Huai army did die a miserable death, Yongcheng became the ruined place of the Huai army, and nearly 40,000 elite troops of the Huai army were swept away overnight.

When the dawn came, all the cavalry of the Huaxia Army were dispatched to chase the Huai army that was searching for the fish that had slipped through the net, especially the Twist Army, which was a real more than 20,000 cavalry.

Luo Yang and other generals, on the wall of the occupied Yongcheng, climbed high and looked out, admiring the magnificent war picture,

After three hours of search and pursuit, the entire battlefield was searched, including dozens of miles of ground to the south, and then a large number of fleeing Huai troops were captured and returned.

The most elite Cheng Xueqi of the Huai Army was all annihilated.

The generals of the Huai Army, Wu Changqing, Pan Dingxin, and others were killed, and the officers and soldiers of the department were able to escape, but only seven or eight hundred people.

On the battlefield, there are corpses of the Huai army everywhere, people of Huai officers and soldiers kneeling and pleading, everywhere are the military flags of the Huai army, burning barracks materials, discarded weapons and ammunition, and the silent 100 cannons of various foreign cannons, foreign guns that have run out of ammunition,

On the tragic battlefield, there are dead corpses everywhere, which have been frozen into stiffness by the bitter cold,

It took a whole day to clean up the battlefield, clean up everything, and count the results of the battle.

In the battle of Yongcheng, more than 38,100 people from the famous generals Cheng Xueqi, Wu Changqing, and Pan Dingxin of the Qing army were killed, and more than 17,500 were wounded and captured, and the difference in the middle was only 800 people.

Twenty-two pound bombers, sixty-seven sixteen-pound bombers, twenty-six mountain-splitting guns, and forty-one solid guns of various domestic manufactures were seized.

More than 6,100 foreign guns were seized, of which more than 2,000 were made by Germany, more than 3,000 by Britain, and 1,000 by the Huai army itself.

27,000 sabers and 19,000 iron spears were captured by the Huai army.

seized all kinds of materials carried by the Huai army, worth more than two million taels of silver,

With the assistance of the officers and soldiers of the Huai Army, the bodies of the three generals were found, and Luo Yang ordered them to be buried in one place and named them the Three Huai Tombs.

Speaking of which, Wu Changqing, the general of the Huai Army, is a capable person, but unfortunately, he encountered Luo Yang, but unfortunately, he voted for the wrong camp.

Ding Ruchang, Wei Rugui, Liu Yulin, Liu Shiqi and other four generals were lucky to survive, although they were all seriously injured, as a prisoner of war, Ding Ruchang was also personally received by Luo Yang, so the other three generals were also stained.

For the Huai officers and soldiers who laid down their arms, Luo Yangjun gave humanitarian treatment, treated the wounded and sick, guaranteed the safety of life and property to anyone, and guaranteed that anyone who did not commit the crime of massacring the people, after identification, can be released home or participate in Huaxia Tian**, all who are guilty, according to the situation, most people still have to be pardoned,

As soon as this system was stipulated, as soon as it was issued, the entire crowd of Huai army prisoners of war was happy.

In the battle of Yongcheng, Huaxia Tian**'s losses were mainly in Qiu Yuancai's troops, with a loss of 4,500 people, which can be described as significant, while the losses of the other armies, despite the fierce battle all night, continued to search and fight after dawn, the real losses were minimal,

According to the final statistics, in the night battle, the losses of the Huaxia army were only more than 900 people, of which only 807 people were sacrificed.

After the battle situation was clear, Qiu Yuancai immediately rushed to Luoyang and confessed to him: "King Rui, I didn't fight well, my brothers suffered a lot of casualties, I, I." ”

"Got it, then you tell me about the whole process."

"Yes."

The process was carefully explained, the main thing was to underestimate the enemy, did not cover up in accordance with the prescribed actions, and did not pay attention to the problems in the artillery battle.

Luo Yang summoned the generals to the barracks, reviewed the situation of the entire campaign, and carefully analyzed Qiu Yuancai's command, not only pointing out that his recklessness caused heavy casualties to the troops, but also affirmed that the death battle of the troops led by him caused the encirclement of the Huai army, attracted the enemy to the surroundings, and created an opportunity for the whole army to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

"Not to mention anything else, General Qiu's troops sacrificed, so that there were weak losses of other troops, and it is also rare for General Qiu to be able to reflect in time, this king appreciates it very much, and I hope that other generals can do this."

Everyone had a happy ending, and in the end, Qiu Yuancai was still the first hero of the Battle of Yongcheng.

For the battle of Yongcheng, Luo Yang asked the officers of each unit to summarize and analyze, point out the problems, and expand the discussion to every company and platoon, so that the officers and soldiers can sum up experience, learn lessons, and further become proficient in combat skills.

On the one hand, the training was rectified, and on the other hand, the transportation of materials, such as explosives bags for flying thunder cannons, grenades for soldiers, etc., was quickly replenished from the materials hoarded in Kaifeng City to the front line.

"King Rui, King Rui." A girl rushed over and intercepted in front of Luo Yang,

"Ah, you." Luo Yang was also pleasantly surprised,

"Yes, King Rui, it's me, I'm ......" This is Qiu Yuancai's sister, who just came from Shaanxi, escorted a new batch of military supplies, and hurriedly sent them to the front line from Kaifeng.

"Okay, that's amazing." Luo Yang stepped forward to shake hands with her,

Now, Huaxia Tian** has changed a lot of etiquette, especially the handshake, which makes many people very fresh and admired.

Shaanxi's arsenal is indeed doing well, not to mention the rest, the daily production of gunpowder has reached nearly 10,000 catties, for the development of modern rifles, it is said that there has been a breakthrough, Qiu Yuancai's sister, is responsible for reporting to King Rui, in the military tent, Luo Yang listened to it with joy,
