The fierce battle lasted for an hour, and the Qing army suffered huge casualties in the city, only more than 300 people returned from the east gate of the city, and the remaining 5,000 people were killed, wounded and captured and destroyed.

The Luoyang army, with its fierce firepower, occupied a great tactical advantage, and the sacrifice losses were extremely weak. Later, when the statistics were counted, it was found that there were only more than 200 people.

Three years ago, that is, in 1860, the British and French forces of 6,000 men attacked the Tongzhou Bali Bridge, and the most famous Mongolian prince of the Qing court, Seng Lingqin, with 30,000 horse infantry troops, suffered a miserable defeat, with more than half of the casualties, while the total casualties of the British and French troops were only 60. Not to mention the disparity in casualties between the Japanese army in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, in the late stage of World War II, the Japanese army committed suicide in the face of the United States.

After entering the city of Chengdu, the Luoyang army began to manufacture gunpowder and other materials on a large scale, plus the captured materials of the Qing army, and quickly stockpiled enough tactical weapons by using several simple arsenals. The number of explosives bags and hand-made grenades made by the local method surged, in this battle, thrown out of the city wall and the buildings in front of them, the Qing army was blown upside down, the more brave the Hunan army was, the more it suffered a big loss, the Hunan officers and soldiers who had always despised the enemy, did not pay attention to the tactics of the war at all, and implemented the typical tactics of the sea of people, the tactics of spiritual shock, this way of being extremely effective in the past, this time it was in the arms of the Luoyang army, and the explosive package that burst became their nightmare.

The defeated Qing army did not withdraw, but settled down under the city, and at night, took advantage of the darkness to attack the city, continuously, and the charge showed the strong strength of an elite main force tenaciously fighting.

The Taiping army had several crises, and some officers and soldiers of the Hunan army even climbed to the city and started a white-knuckle battle with the defenders.

The generals of the Taiping army immediately collected a lot of cooking oil from the city, soaked it in firewood and grass, lit it and threw it under the city wall, and the night was quickly illuminated. By the light of the fire, the Taiping army's foreign gun shooting and grenade bombardment were combined, and the clusters of Hunan troops were used as targets.

After a night of fierce fighting, the Qing army did not make the slightest progress, but abandoned more than 800 corpses under the city, and reluctantly rescued more than 500 wounded soldiers.

At dawn the next day, the Qing army launched its last attack, pouring all its strength into it, swarming, and carrying out a fierce artillery bombardment beforehand, in order to ensure the charge of the infantry, the artillery even very professionally extended fire in real time, bombarding the Taiping army.

Having detected the abnormal actions of the Qing army and the whereabouts of the artillery early, the Luoyang army was still the kind of passive defense and preemptive strategy, and the situation of insufficient artillery shells in the West induced the enemy to consume a large number of living weapons, and at the same time lured the enemy into the city.

This set of tactics is not clever, but it is fully effective because of the huge disparity in quality between the two armies. More than 3,000 Qing troops entered the city, but there were no military results, and they were not able to return safely, when the flags of the Taiping army danced on the city wall one by one, the generals of the Qing army understood.

The main force of the Qing army, which had lost half of it, was forced to leave the city of Chengdu and move to the east.

Many generals asked to go out of the city to pursue, but Luo Yang decisively forbade it.

The Hunan army has extremely strong field combat capabilities, and it is also a disastrous division, and once a unit is linked by regional blood ties, once it encounters defeat, it may not only cause the problem of low morale, but also an extremely strong sense of retaliation. Relying on previous experience, the 5,000 Hunan army could completely defeat the 10,000 Taiping army.

The morale of the Taiping army, in the later period, was quite problematic. Although Luoyang's troops had regained their self-confidence, Luoyang was worried that if the Qing army counterattacked and a confrontation formed, there would be heavy casualties.

The cavalry of the Taiping army was also very small, so without the strength to strike quickly, they could only watch the enemy retreat quickly.

Enough is enough, looking at the almost mountain of corpses and fragments of corpses in the city streets, the hideous and distorted appearance of the Hunan army, people get not only the cruelty of war, the feeling of despicable human life in the troubled world, but also the joy of prostration after victory.

The victory in the Second Battle of Chengdu greatly boosted the morale of the Taiping Army and raised Luoyang's prestige to a new height.

After several days of clean-up, the aftermath was completed, killing a total of more than 7,400 elite Qing troops, and capturing more than 9,600 wounded soldiers, plus the Qing army's rescue, the total casualties of the Qing army were more than 10,000 people.

The Taiping army consumed more than 3,000 hand-made grenades, more than 400 explosive packs, more than 300 shells from Western flowers, and more than 1,500 rounds of ammunition from foreign guns. The amount of materials consumed made Luo Yang smack his tongue again and again after listening to the report, exclaiming that it was too terrifying.

This kind of exclamation is somewhat hypocritical, because such a small price, the psychological damage to the Qing army is extremely huge, if the Qing army generals heard it on the road to the east, they must be so ashamed that they untied their trousers on the spot and strangled themselves!

Taiping lost 338 casualties and wounded 89 people, and under the extremely rudimentary field medical conditions at that time, the possibility of demobilization of wounded soldiers was extremely small.

Such a disparity in the proportion of battle losses made every general who knew exclaim: "Ah, great, great!" ”

Zeng Shihe is an old qualified general, and he is also Luo Yang's blue-faced confidant, the leader of the revolution, in the face of such a report card, he smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he also had a sense of accomplishment, this battle was fought under Luo Yang's command, but Luo Yang was promoted from Zeng Shihe's command! It's a lot of face.

The main general of the flag team, one of the Zai Fu, Lai Yuxin, personally experienced a complete battle with Luo Yang, in the face of the corpse-ridden Chengdu City, he was terrified, if his army of 30,000 people, encountered 5,000 Hunan troops, there would be a fear of great disaster, and now, 10,000 Hunan troops, in just a few hours, are honestly lying down.

"King Rui, I, Lai Yuxin, really obey you!"

In front of several generals, he gave up his hands and sighed with emotion, and he almost had a bigger personality cult movement, but was stopped by Luo Yang in time: "Lai Zaifu, what do you admire?" This battle is our ***! ”

"No, no, without the wise commander of King Rui, if we want to kill tens of thousands of Hunan troops, our army will have to pay at least 10,000 costs, and under normal circumstances, our army will have to die 20,000!" He gave a thumbs up.

This battle once again proved Luo Yang's genius military command and correct thinking on weapons and equipment, and also made all the officers and men of the Taiping Army completely convinced of their new commander, the new command core of the Taiping Army on the Western Front, and cohesion in the flames of war.

More than 10,000 Taiping troops took Chengdu City under their feet, and the banner hunting place was the new land of heaven.

Luoyang rode on the streets of Chengdu, beside him, a hundred cavalry guards, freshly dressed and angry, majestic, everywhere he went, the soldiers of the Taiping Army would greet him warmly, and the mountains called a thousand years old.

The people of Chengdu City were also infected by the enthusiasm of victory, learned about the situation of the battle, and talked about it, and all praised it.

The post-war supreme military meeting was about to be held, and Luo Yang had to discuss and determine several major things, because the bloody second battle of Chengdu had already held a solid foundation stone laying ceremony for his position as commander of the army, and he felt that it was time.
