The corpses were spread all the way from the top of the slope to the bottom of the slope on the west side, all of which belonged to the Qing soldiers. The fallen soldiers of the Yulin Army were sent to the rear as soon as possible, and the wounded were treated in time by the field hospital of the military family. At the end of the day, the two battalions and eight wings of the Yulin Army took turns to fight, killing more than 300 people and wounding more than 500, and the casualties exceeded the total of more than a month since entering Guangxi.

"It's miserable......"

In the north of Baiyun Mountain, on the position of the Long Xiang Army, the commander of the rear battalion sent by the Long Xiang Army to Jinjiling for liaison made Meng Songjiang's face pale.

"Hey, Hey, ......"

Zhang Hanwan looked displeased, and wanted to remind Meng Songjiang to pay attention to his words, isn't this self-damaging to the army's morale?

The Yulin Army did suffer heavy casualties, but it was compared to before, and it was also compared to his Longxiang Army. His Long Xiang army fought in Baiyun Mountain for a whole day, and also paid two or three hundred casualties, but the enemy in front of him did not exceed two thousand, and after being defeated, the counterattack was also very weak. Jinji Ridge is not as good as Baiyun Mountain, just east of Wuzhou City, and it is a battleground in the eyes of the Qing soldiers. I am afraid that there will not be one or two thousand Qing soldiers who will take turns to attack this whole day, and the combat power of the Yulin Army is much stronger than that of the Long Xiang Army.

"I mean...... The Qing soldiers were so miserable that they couldn't step on the ground on the Jinji Ridge, so I stepped down and stepped on three heads at the same time! In the evening, the cooks brought the mutton soup, and the people of the Yulin Army vomited while drinking, what a waste......"

Meng Songjiang continued to slump his face, and Zhang Hanwan slapped this guy's head angrily, daring to tease him!? Then he asked curiously, what was the result of the Yulin Army.

"Everyone is tired, and the corpses of the Qing soldiers are buried in the mud, and the Jia Command has not let everyone spend effort on this matter, I think there are at least three or four thousand!"

Meng Songjiang sighed, he was sighing that the Longxiang army was indeed inferior to the Yulin army, and if he wanted to change the Longxiang army to Jinjiling, he would naturally not be defeated by the Qing army, but the casualties would have to be doubled.

"Yes, they have serious bayonets on their guns, and our guns are just spears."

Zhang Hanwan found the reason in his mouth, but his heart was like a mirror. Purely on the stabbing of the sword, the spear stab is stronger and more practical than the bayonet, and after a whole day today, the bayonets of the Yulin Army are afraid that they will be damaged a lot.

"Don't be verbose, hurry up and write down the experience of watching the battle and summarize the lessons learned."

Seeing Meng Songjiang open his mouth to refute, Zhang Hanwan glared and drove him away. Summing up experience in every war is a habit that Li Shi has cultivated since the establishment of Siwei, and it has developed to the present, not only after the war, but also during the war. Not only did each unit sum up its own summing up, but friendly forces should also contact each other, learn from experience, and draw lessons, and this has become a rule, and the task of Meng Songjiang to Jinjiling is also this.

At the same time, in the big tent of Heishiling, Chen Yuanlong's face was gloomy.

"Can't even report the casualties of officers and soldiers? You can't wait for a war, and you're so stupid to lead the troops!? ”

He was very angry, it didn't matter if Baiyun Mountain in the northeast was lost, but Jinjiling, which was finally captured, was also lost, and all the hand-to-hand soldiers in all the soldiers and horses were transferred up all day long, but he still couldn't regain it. Not only that, after fighting all day, I don't know how many of my own casualties are, and the heads of all the soldiers are only crying that the hand-to-hand combat soldiers in the headquarters are dead and wounded, and it is difficult to attack, but when you ask the specific number, they are all fragmented, and it is difficult to say, what kind of battle is this!? What kind of soldiers are you bringing!?

The general lieutenants of the town associations in the tent looked at each other, and said that this Governor Chen really didn't know the soldiers, and if he changed the Yang system platform in Wuzhou City, he should understand their situation. It's true that they have a roster, but it's just a fictitious register to pay. How many soldiers are under their command, they only know three or five percent, the guerrilla garrison below knows six or seven percent, and the thousands below know the best of them. Originally, they only knew an approximate idea of how many soldiers they brought, but now that they have thousands of dead and wounded, who knows how many soldiers have died?

How many soldiers came back roughly knew, and no one was sure whether they were dead or ran away if they didn't come back, and the deputy generals of the general army had no choice but to bite the bullet and reluctantly make up the existing numbers for Chen Yuanlong.

"Hiss......"

Seeing the summary figures, Chen Yuanlong gasped as if he had a toothache, the town associations in Guangxi, the joint promotion and his strokes, now there are less than 4,000 hand-to-hand combat soldiers left!? According to the statistics of the roster, after the fight on this day, six or seven thousand soldiers were lost!?

How can it be!

Of course, Chen Yuanlong didn't know that Jinjiling had become a pulp ridge, and he didn't know that as long as the Qing soldiers were injured, it would be difficult to withdraw to the camp, so the six or seven thousand people lost were all killed and wounded. His first reaction was that the generals of the army falsely reported the casualties in order to blackmail him into not fighting any more, and they had always said that the thieves were no less powerful in hand-to-hand combat.

"Heaven has eyes, rain down, cut off the power of its guns, let me and others drive the strong body with a loyal heart, and turn this quagmire into their graveyard! You are so disobedient to the grace of heaven, disregarded the grace of the emperor, and are so cowardly! Come on, take the deputy general of the Wuzhou Association and the Pingle Association, and serve with thirty military sticks! ”

Seeing that the two associations reported that there were less than 100 hand-to-hand fighters left in the battalion, Chen Yuanlong wanted to take these two people under the knife. Although he is only a governor, since Zhang Chaowu, the governor of Guangxi, was "demoted", he also took charge of the governor's affairs, controlled the soldiers and horses of a province in Guangxi, and his military stick could beat all the Guangxi generals.

"I'm not convinced!"

"Wronged!"

The lieutenant generals of the two associations were full of red faces, and they were aggrieved, not only had they all killed the hand-to-hand combat soldiers, but also pushed the shotgunners and archers to rush forward, that is, they were grateful for Chen Yuanlong's fame, and they were dyed by his loyal words, and they were determined to defend the country and be loyal to the monarch. On this day, the soldiers were all dead, and several of the thousands of guerrillas were killed, and they all came to the western slope of Jinjiling to supervise the battle, not to protect themselves, but almost fed the bayonets of the thief army.

Now that the truth is reported, it is regarded by Chen Yuanlong as a typical example of cowardice, and the anger in his heart is difficult to calm.

But Chen Yuanlong didn't admit it, there were only thousands of thieves on the other side, and if he could rely on guns and cannons to kill like this, he could barely believe it. How could it be such a scene just by hand-to-hand combat!? What the truth is, it is impossible to trust these troops just by opening their mouths.

The two deputy generals argued on the basis of reason, and the other generals also agreed, Chen Yuanlong was a scholar, and it was difficult to argue about this military matter, so his face was black, the military order holder was splashed down, and the military sticks were all shared!

Seeing that the morale was depressed, Meng Yong, a staff general of the Yunnan Bid Promotion Battalion, and Yue Zhongqi, a staff officer of the Hunan Bid Battalion, could not sit still. These guest soldiers sat and watched all day, Chen Yuanlong is now pumping Guangxi generals, they are afraid that if they return to Wuzhou City, Yang Lin, who controls the army, will smoke them.

"Lord Chen, I, the officers and soldiers of Yunnan (Hunan), am willing to be the forerunner of the Ming Dynasty!"

The two hurriedly jumped out to ask for battle, Meng Yong brought 10,000 Yunnan soldiers, 6,000 shotguns and archers, all of which were left by Yang Lin in the large camp built in the north of Wuzhou City, and only brought 4,000 people to attack. Yue Zhongqi had 4,000 soldiers, 3,000 were hand-to-hand soldiers, and there were 1,000 Miao Yong, and their two teams of men and horses were together, and the strength was enough to attack.

"Good! Good! ”

Chen Yuanlong slapped the Guangxi generals hard, but he inevitably did not remind the intention of these two theater watchers, and he was also very relieved to see them on the road.

"You waited for the Ming Dynasty to divide into two teams, the north and the south, and attacked Jinjiling directly. As long as we occupy a stable position in Jinjiling, after the weather clears, the shotspear archers can fight, and Yang Zhitai will be transferred to the red-coated cannon, not only will it be difficult for the thief army to threaten my Wuzhou, but there will be no place to stand in Guangxi! ”

In Chen Yuanlong's eyes, there was only Jinjiling in the small place, and there was only Guangxi in the big place, and Meng Yong and Yue Zhongqi both snorted coldly in their hearts.

"Lord Chen, the mark is sent by Lord Nian to aid Gui, and the instruction is to act at the opportune time. Under the mark, it is not cost-effective to fight hard with the thief army in Jinjiling. The mark intends to go up from Baiyun Mountain, occupy Baiyun Mountain first, and then attack the thief army, so that the Jinjiling thief army can be disturbed. ”

Meng Yong seemed to have something to rely on, and felt that his soldiers were far superior to the Guangxi soldiers, enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility, and he didn't say much, but Yue Zhongqi had objections. Nian Qianyao specially reminded himself that he could not be constrained by those pedantic scholars who did not know about military affairs, and he must be assertive and bold and decisive. Nian Qianyao went on a killing spree in Hunan, fierce and domineering, Yue Zhongqi was also contaminated with this spirit, and explained to Chen Yuanlong in advance that his Yue Zhongqi's Hunan soldiers were not subject to your Guangxi control.

"Oh......"

Chen Yuanlong stared at Yue Zhongqi, looked at it for a while, and suddenly smiled and sneered.

"General Yue, do you regard Benfu as a high position, and think that you can be like Shaozhou, showing the foolishness of Benfu and the wisdom of Xianer? With the defeat of Guangxi, the merit of the Hunan army? ”

Chen Yuanlong had no good impression of Nian Qianyao, and Nian Qianyao acted unscrupulously in Hunan, which made him, a scholar who had read the books of sages and sages, very disgusted. Even the Yue Zhongqi he sent was also disgusted. Now Yue Zhongqi's domineering posture makes him even more angry.

This is not Shaozhou, he is not in a high position, and ...... Chen Yuanlong's words were too harsh, Yue Zhongqi didn't dare to talk back, so he had to kneel down on one knee to plead guilty, and he was also angry in his heart. Thinking that it would be polite to say it yourself, what should I do when the time comes, I don't bother to care about you, anyway, there is Nian Qianyao, and you can't do anything about me.

"General Yue, don't you know that your good Shangguan Nian Qianyao has been transferred to Sichuan and promoted to the governor of Sichuan? Although you are a guest army from Hunan, you are controlled by Yang Zhitai, and Yang Zhitai entrusts me with the power of Wuzhou's defense, and you are also controlled by me. What kind of ghost do you want to do, do you really think that my Chen Yuanlong's sword can't cut off the head of your little general!? ”

Chen Yuanlong said leisurely, he didn't look at this matter from the military point of view at all, he wanted to make his own way and get his own success, this is the tradition of the guest army, he can't allow this kind of villain to play this kind of trick under him.

didn't listen to the other words, just Nian Qianyao transferred to the governor of Sichuan, Yue Zhongqi's face turned pale, if this matter is true, his backer ...... "Listen to Lord Chen's guidance, there is no distraction and selfishness!" ”

He reluctantly dispelled the idea of acting without authorization, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Chen Yuanlong.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the continuous rain was still there, the troubled Nian Qianyao was in the north, and the self-confident Meng Yong was in the south, and once again launched an attack on Jinjiling.

"The right battalion is in an emergency!"

"The left camp is in a hurry!"

More than half an hour later, these two Qing troops attacked Jinji Ridge and fought endlessly with the Yulin Army on the ridge, and the two wings in charge of the garrison were almost driven off the top of the ridge. The left battalion and the front battalion were transferred to the two wings respectively, but they could only barely maintain the defensive line, and it was difficult to drive the Qing troops down.

After receiving the urgent report, Jia Hao breathed a sigh of relief, the two Qing soldiers he had been waiting for finally appeared.

In the battle of Shaozhou, Huanggang Mountain was almost broken, and Zhang Hanjin was killed, all of which did not grasp the specific situation of the Qing soldiers, and did not know that there were Yue Zhongqi's Hunan soldiers, especially the Miao soldiers of private placement. After Luo Tangyuan took office, he paid special attention to the Hunan soldiers of Nian Qianyao and Yue Zhongqi, and after the battle of Wuzhou, he learned about the movements of the Yunnan soldiers, and he did not dare to be careless, and made great efforts to investigate the situation of the Yunnan soldiers.

After getting the report of the Military Intelligence Department, Jia Hao regarded these two Qing soldiers as the real enemy, and yesterday was a bitter battle, and the Baicheng Battalion and Lian Yao Battalion of the Yulin Army did not move, just waiting for these two Qing soldiers to show up.

"Yunnan rattan soldiers, Hunan Miao soldiers, have been waiting for you for a long time. Panshi Yu aids the north, Liu Cheng aids the south, these two Qing soldiers must not be let go! ”

Jia Hao issued the order that he had prepared a long time ago.
