"At present, the number of various units has been collected, and in today's battle, our soldiers have lost a total of 76 people, seriously wounded 162 people, and lightly wounded 220 people!" As soon as Bi Yutong's words came out, the faces of the officers present became very ugly. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

Although they all expected that today's casualties would be a bit large, they did not expect that there would be a total of more than 450 casualties, and there were as many as 76 people killed here, and those who were seriously injured were generally lucky, even if they saved a lot, they would be unable to fight anymore without hands and legs.

That is to say, in addition to those who were lightly wounded, the casualties and serious injuries combined, the Yuyao County Yongying lost as much as 230 people's combat strength, which is quite a large proportion for the Yuyao County Yongying, which has only more than 1,800 people in total.

Regardless of the faces of the commanders of the various departments, Bi Yutong continued: "Among the dead and wounded, the baggage regiment was the mainstay, and the baggage regiment suffered nearly 200 casualties in total, and dozens of others were missing.

In addition, 26 people of the Guards were killed, 18 were seriously wounded, and 9 were lightly wounded! ”

"In this battle, our army lost five officers, the list is as follows: Lieutenant Ling Ganxuan, deputy commander of the baggage regiment and commander of the first company, second lieutenant Xu Heju, deputy commander of the first company of the baggage regiment, lieutenant Chen Haobai, commander of the second company of the baggage regiment, second lieutenant Shi Anyuan, deputy commander of the third company of the baggage regiment, and lieutenant Qi Liang, deputy captain of the personal guards,

Eight of the wounded were listed as follows: Captain Wang Luyun, captain of the personal guards, Captain Fei Qunyang, commander of the Baggage Regiment, Lieutenant Xu Yanqing, deputy commander of the First Infantry Corps and commander of the First Company, Captain Bing Qusong, commander of the First Artillery Company, and Second Lieutenant Lin Chengjia, deputy commander of the Sixth Company of the First Infantry Corps, ......

As the names were pronounced, the atmosphere in the tent became more and more oppressive!

There is no doubt that although today's battle was won, it was worth the loss for the Yongying Battalion in Yuyao County, no matter how many enemies were defeated, it was unacceptable for its own losses to be too large, not to mention the deaths and injuries of so many officers.

You must know that the Yongying camp in Yuyao County has gone north for several battles, and its casualty figures have always been very small, at most dozens of people, and the officers have never suffered casualties.

However, the number of dead and wounded today is more than 450, and there are even many officers who used to drink and talk about the dead and wounded.

Finally, when Bi Yutong finished talking about his own casualties, Shi Langyi, whose face was already extremely dark, couldn't wait to say: "What about the dead and wounded of the thief army?" ”

The reason why he couldn't wait to ask this was because he needed a contrast, or a sense of psychological balance, if the proportion of casualties between friend and foe was still huge, then it would be worth so many of his own casualties, and those brothers would not die in vain.

In fact, there is no need for Shi Langyi to ask, Bi Yutong is also going to say it, after all, this is a casualty report of the enemy and me, and he has to talk about someone else's after talking about his own family.

"According to the current preliminary statistics, our army killed a total of 1,800 thieves, captured more than 20 enemy leaders, and 680 thieves. In addition, 12 large and small artillery pieces, 270 horses, 370 cattle and mules, more than 100 carriages, and countless swords and muskets were seized! ”

Bi Yutong did not say how many wounded the Taiping Army had, because the Taiping Army was defeated and fled, and it was impossible to take the wounded away, and when the Yongying in Yuyao County cleaned up the battlefield, it basically directly made up for the seriously wounded of the Taiping Army, and the lightly wounded were directly taken prisoner.

Killed and captured combined, Lin Chengting's troops suffered a total of more than 2,400 direct battle losses in this battle, not counting those who fled, those routs were not so easy to collect, many routs would directly throw down their weapons and then become deserters, so in the end, it is still unknown how many people Lin Chengting can collect.

Among these casualties, the artillery and musket units of the Taiping Army were almost lost, and although the cavalry led by Dong Yanghong finally took the initiative to retreat, they fought several times in a row, and the actual losses were almost more than half.

From the perspective of troop losses, the Taiping army led by Lin Chengting, which originally had more than 6,000 people, has been completely disabled, and it is good that the remnants can collect half of the 3,000 people, and they will definitely not be able to fight again in the future.

After the number of casualties between the enemy and us was finished, Shi Langyi on the side showed a hideous look: "My lord, they killed so many of our brothers, and what are they left to do, we don't have much food!" ”

Who are they in Shi Langyi's mouth? Everyone here can hear that it is those prisoners of the Taiping Army!

At this time, Shi Qingxuan also said: "Those big and small leaders can be tried for a trial, but those ordinary soldiers don't need to be tried!" ”

At this time, Xu Yanqing, whose head was wrapped in bandages, also nodded, although he did not speak, but obviously agreed to kill these prisoners.

Lin Zhe didn't talk much from the beginning, but now that he listened to everyone's words, and looked around again, he already knew what everyone thought!

The Yuyao County Yongying has never had the habit of accepting prisoners, and the Yuyao County Yongying is also different from other domestic officers, they do not recruit soldiers from the captives to supplement, and the Yuyao County Yongying does not even recruit soldiers in Huzhou, Hangzhou and other places, and the soldiers they recruit are all soldiers from the counties of Shaoxing Prefecture, among which the children of Yuyao County are the mainstay.

Since they did not accept the captives to replenish the army, they were either released or killed, and now, everyone present wanted to kill them in revenge for the day.

You must know that the officers and soldiers of the Yongying Battalion in Yuyao County who were killed and wounded today are all fellow villagers, clansmen, classmates and even relatives of everyone here, and their relatives and friends are killed or injured in the hands of these Taiping soldiers, so it is natural to understand their desire to kill these prisoners.

To be honest, Lin Zhe doesn't have much pressure on this, he is a person who has crossed over, although this body is from Yuyao, but he himself does not regard himself as a Yuyao person, so naturally he can't talk about any fellow villagers or anything like that. Besides, his soul is a modern man, and you have no problem with him commanding the army on the battlefield to slaughter the enemy army, but killing the captives who have surrendered is a bit of a problem.

He's not cold-blooded enough yet!

Moreover, he has to take into account another point, that is, in the foreseeable future, he and the Taiping army will have to continue to fight, and once the news of his large-scale massacre of prisoners reaches the Taiping army, then it is estimated that no Taiping army will be willing to surrender as prisoners in future battles.

It's just that he still doesn't know that when the contemporary Qing army and the Taiping army were defeated, although both sides knew that they would be killed after surrendering, the soldiers would still surrender and kowtow to beg for mercy to try to live, and then be ruthlessly killed by the other party. As for why he surrendered even when he knew he would be killed, only God knows.

After a moment of silence, Lin Zhe finally spoke: "The leaders of those captives will be interrogated and try to obtain information about the Taiping Army, while the others will be handed over to Li Cheng'an on the Guangde side!" ”

Handed over these captives to Li Cheng'an, the garrison of the Green Battalion stationed in Guangde, as for how Li Cheng'an dealt with these prisoners, it was none of Lin Zhe's business.

I can't do it myself, and it is estimated that these officers present here will jump to their feet, so Lin Zhe simply came out of sight and out of mind, and directly threw these prisoners out, whoever likes to let go, whoever likes to kill, kill whoever likes to kill, anyway, Lao Tzu doesn't care.

It's just that although he said that, Lin Zhe also knew in his heart that these captives were in the hands of Li Chengan, and there was only one end in the end, and that was to be killed!

Most of the time, there is only one way for contemporary Qing generals to deal with Taiping prisoners, and that is to kill!

Handing over the captives to Li Cheng'an is just covering your ears and stealing the bell!

The handling of the captives is only a trivial matter, and today's meeting is mainly to discuss today's gains and losses!

"In today's battle, the main reason why our army lost a lot of money was that it was rushed in by thieves, so it led to a huge loss of the baggage regiment and the personal guard!" As the assistant of the supervision and training department, although Shi Qingxuan has no experience in leading troops and commanding, he can be put in the position of assistant of the supervision and training department by Lin Zhe, and his vision and basic theoretical level are still there.

He saw at a glance the biggest reason for today's defeat: "And the reason why the thief cavalry was able to rush in was because the 2nd Infantry Regiment failed to stop it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Anfei lowered his head, it is true, his second infantry regiment failed to stop the enemy's cavalry, which led to the huge losses in today's battle, but then Shi Qingxuan's words made his face look better.

"However, to intercept the advance of the thieves, the Second Infantry Regiment cannot keep up due to its limited mobility, and there is no way to do it!"

At this time, Hunter William, who had been listening to the simultaneous translation, also spoke: "General, the most effective way to intercept the enemy's cavalry charge is to send our cavalry. ”

When Lin Zhe heard this, although his face remained unchanged, he smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't know that he wanted to form a cavalry?

He also wanted to, but are the cavalry so easy to assemble? It had taken him months and months to assemble a personal guard of more than 50 people.

It is not easy to build a cavalry on a large scale without horses and riders!

Jiangnan and several coastal provinces have no horse-producing land at all, and the source of horses has always been supplied from the north, so it is not easy to obtain a large number of war horses, and the only feasible way is to reach out to the imperial court.

But now the life of the Qing army is not easy, the two large battalions in Jiangbei and Jiangnan have swallowed countless manpower and material resources, and at the same time they have to intercept the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Army, not to mention whether the Qing court has war horses, even if there is, it will give priority to the troops in the northern provinces, and the remaining part will also be given priority to the Qing army in the Jiangbei and Jiangnan camps.

It is quite difficult for the local regimental training of Yongying in Yuyao County to obtain the supply and support of the imperial court's war horses!

In addition, cavalry is also a troublesome matter, to find so many skilled soldiers there to be cavalry, if you can't find it, even if you have war horses, it is estimated that you can only form a 'horse infantry'.

But without a large number of cavalry, it is inevitable that the follow-up battle will encounter today's situation!

Then everyone discussed some of today's tactical gains and losses, but Lin Zhe didn't have the heart to listen, and half an hour later, Lin Zhe announced the end of the meeting!

Then prepare for the whole army to return to Changxing, the current Yuyao County Yongying needs to replenish the soldiers, and even more replenish the guns and ammunition, and Lin Zhe doesn't know how many Taiping troops there are in the north, in case there is another Taiping army of thousands of people, maybe it will really fall into the pit, so he decided to go back to Changxing to rest first, and restore his strength first.

In addition, more importantly, today's battle also let him know that the training time of soldiers is still too short, and if today's baggage regiment is a regular infantry that has been trained for half a year, then the battle situation will definitely not develop to the point of later.

As for whether Guangde and other areas will be attacked by the Taiping army after leaving, Lin Zhe doesn't care, as long as he holds Huzhou, let those Taiping troops toss in the north, he won't accompany him! xh118
