In the face of the cavalry who fled in all directions, Liu Fan did not send people to continue the pursuit, even if he couldn't catch up, the disadvantage of the foot soldiers to the cavalry was here, the cavalry was highly mobile, and if he wanted to fight, he would fight, and if he couldn't fight, he would run, and Liu Fan was helpless about it!

By this time, the battle was over, and the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, treating the wounded, and collecting the bodies of the fallen soldiers. Liu Fan rode his horse to the battlefield, watched the corpses of the soldiers being carried out, and couldn't help but ask with an ugly face, "How are the casualties of our army?" ”

Sun Liang lowered his head and replied, "I haven't counted it yet!" However, the forecast is not optimistic, the rest of the teams are fine, and the worst is the strikers..."

Before Sun Liang's words were finished, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the distance, and Shang Ming knelt down in front of Liu Fan with a "poof" and cried, "Handsome!" My squad! Gone! After speaking, tears fell, and this brave and resolute man who killed the enemy couldn't cry silently.

Liu Fan looked at Shang Ming, who was full of injuries and bandaged like zongzi, and his heart was also quite uncomfortable, so he stepped forward to help Shang Ming and said softly, "I know!" You're doing a great job! Didn't lose the face of our captive army! Don't be sad! I'll avenge your dead brother's revenge! Now that you're so badly injured, go down and rest! ”

Shang Ming said emotionally: "Handsome! I'm not going! I want to avenge my dead brothers! To the mistress, the dog... Revenge, they've just come out of the coolie camp! That's it! It's all because of my involvement! Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone like this! Handsome! Give me a thousand, please! I'm going to kill these thieves! Sacrifice their dead brethren with their heads! ”

Liu Fan said angrily: "Revenge! Avenge! You know revenge! Fighting is a death! You can see the situation today! The power of the rogues is not weak, and if there is no careful plan, rushing to attack will only kill more brothers because of this! We've got all these people! When they are all dead, who will avenge them! Pig brains! You go down and rest for me! That's an order! ”

Shang Ming opened his mouth with an unwilling face, but in the end he didn't say anything more, and bowed to Liu Fan and said, "Yes!" Humble Command! Then he staggered away.

Liu Fan looked at Shang Ming's lonely back and said, "The coolie camp is not a punishment, but for redemption!" Before, they fought for their lives, for survival! What now! They are fighting for their own ideals, and they are fighting for the peace and happiness of the people of the world! Even death is a well-deserved death! I will send their ashes to the martyrs' cemetery, and I will engrave their names on the inscription so that future generations will remember them forever! And also! Take care of your injuries! I look forward to the moment when you slash your enemies! Shang Ming, who was far away, trembled when he heard Liu Fan's words, and replied after a long while, "Yes!" Handsome! "The voice is firm and powerful!

After Shang Ming left, Sun Liang said to Liu Fan, "Handsome! The basic battle situation has been counted! In this battle, our troops lost 380 casualties, 125 seriously wounded, more than 600 lightly wounded, 700 enemy killed, and 30 captured. One hundred and twenty horses were captured. Other weapons and belongings are not counted for the time being. ”

Liu Fan nodded and said to Sun Liang, "Tell the soldiers to clean up the battlefield quickly, we have to go to He Jin to join Song Cheng as soon as possible!" ”

Hearing that there were nearly 500 casualties this time, Liu Fan was quite distressed, this was the first time that such a large casualty had occurred since the founding of the Broken Army, Liu Fan did not expect that the Liukou would dare to take the lead in attacking in the face of his troops of nearly 7,000 people, and the most important thing was that they succeeded! Liu Fan also realized how wrong his previous thinking was. In the past, he always thought that the rogue was not enough to be afraid, and seeing that even Zuo Liangyu, a "scum with less than five combat effectiveness", could defeat tens of thousands of rogue soldiers with thousands of people, Liu Fanman thought that with his 20,000 horses, he could easily level the rogue and quell the rebellion, but he didn't expect to be hit in the head at the beginning! Because of carelessness and lack of experience, the vanguard and the large army derailed, so that the rogue seized the opportunity to teach Liu Fan a good lesson, and used the facts to tell Liu Fan what the real battle is.

This bloody lesson made Liu Fan soberly realize that even if his equipment was advanced and well-trained, he still could not hide the fact that the Broken Army was a new recruit from top to bottom. Their army lacks experience, lacks effective command, and has too many shortcomings. The only thing that satisfied Liu Fan in this battle was that his ideas were confirmed, and the new adaptation was tested in actual combat.

Because of the limited output of the arsenal, even if Liu Fan desperately expanded the production capacity of the arsenal, but still could not catch up with the expansion speed of the Broken Army, as of Liu Fan's expedition, the whole army of the Broken Army was equipped with a total of more than 1,500 Spanish smoothbore guns, and less than 4,000 three-eyed guns, and this expedition Liu Fan only carried 1,000 Spanish smoothbore guns and 2,500 three-eyed guns. Liu Fan also envisioned forming an all-firearms army! After thinking about it for a long time, I gave up this idea, because there were too few firearms and equipment to form a powerful lethal force. In the end, Liu Fan still made slight improvements to the original troops according to the European model of the same period, adding 40 smoothbore gunners and 60 three-eyed gunners to the original squad, totaling more than 400 people, with the squad as the core tactical formation of the basic tactical unit. In this way, there are three-pounder guns in the long range, Tiger squat guns, Spanish smoothbore guns in the medium range, and powerful three-eyed guns in the short range, plus the protection of the gunners to form a perfect firepower network. At the same time, it can also make the role of the existing arms of the army be fully played! Now it seems that Liu Fan's idea is still correct, under the same circumstances, even the cavalry cannot easily penetrate the formation of the broken army, but will pay a painful price for it, the only disadvantage is the lack of offensive power, and once the number is too small, the strength will drop significantly.

In view of this, Liu Fan specially ordered the squad of the vanguard team to be adjusted into three squads. In this way, it will be attacked suddenly, and the vanguard will have enough time to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and the situation like today will not happen again!

Half an hour later, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, under Liu Fan's order, the soldiers quickly assembled and set off, heading in the direction of Hejin Town, in order to avoid another surprise attack, Liu Fan specially ordered Zhou Ce's cavalry to cruise in front to find out the enemy's situation.

And Liu Neng, who fled to the collapse of the sky near He Jin, after counting the number of people, he was a little crying without tears, he really didn't expect that just a tentative attack would bring nearly a thousand casualties to himself, looking at these dejected subordinates, Liu Neng also had a deeper understanding of the strength of the Broken Army.
