In the first battle, although more than 11,000 Qing troops were killed, more than 5,000 were seriously wounded, and more than 18,000 prisoners were captured, the casualties of the Mawei Army itself were not small. Among them, the two battalions that intercepted the retreat of the Qing army in the Yuanjue Temple suffered the most casualties, and the two battalions defended to the end, and there were less than 1,000 people left in the total of the Qing army, and the Qing army almost attacked the Monastery twice, and it was all up to the soldiers to fight to the death to finally repel the attack of the Qing army.

Zhang Wenliang's division and Laita battle, although has been dominating, but the Qing army is also very tenacious, after the loss of cavalry, but also resisted the repeated attacks of the Mawei army, I have to say that after the foot soldiers formed a phalanx, the front row erected a solid shield is indeed able to effectively block the shooting of the Mawei army's rifles, and the Qing army's bows and arrows can also give the approaching Mawei soldiers a great damage.

In this regard, Western countries are far less than China's infantry at this time. Although there are also infantry phalanxes in Europe, their weapons are nothing but muskets, which is very simple, and if you want to talk about shields or something, European countries are sparsely populated and lack resources, and they can't bear it if they are equipped with shields made of thousands of metals. And the Qing army array made up so many shields, thick wooden shields, and a layer of iron sheets on the outside, the horsetail army's bullets penetrated the first layer of iron sheets and then embedded in the wooden board, but they failed to penetrate the shield, which did cause a lot of obstacles to the horsetail army soldiers.

"All the qiē are settled?" Zeng Yangxing looked at Zhang Wenliang, who was in charge of cleaning up after the war and had just returned from outside, and asked, and at the same time motioned for Zhang Wenliang to sit down.

"Back to Zeng Shuai, a qiē is appropriate. The results are also out. Zhang Wenliang gave a military salute. Then he pulled out a chair and sat down by himself: "We have lost a total of 2,355 people in this battle. 1,600 people were seriously wounded, and 34,000 Qing troops were annihilated. The corpses of the Qing army were also cleaned up, with 11,300 corpses, 5,120 seriously wounded and 18,085 prisoners. The most escaped is the more than 500 cavalry under Laita, it can be said that the main force of the Qing army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been annihilated by us, and the next march to take Jiangsu can be said to be captured! ”

"Hmm. We've lost a lot! Logistics matters should also be kept an eye on, the soldiers who died in the battle must sort out and collect the bones, and the seriously injured soldiers should hurry up and treat them, and one can be saved! Zeng Yang instructed.

"Don't worry, Zeng Shuai, the logistics department has always done a good job of these things." Zhang Wenliang is not worried about these things at all. Since Geng Jingzhong first led the army to suppress bandits, he has formally established and perfected the army's logistics system. He also believes that this army logistics is an integral part of military logistics. From the countless war dramas he watched in his previous life, he also summed up a set of theories. Military logistics is a general term for the work and institutions that plan and use manpower, material resources, financial resources, and technology to ensure the needs of military construction and operations in terms of material funds, medical aid, transportation, equipment maintenance, and infrastructure barracks. Military logistics refers specifically to the logistics needed to ensure army building, operations, and other activities, and can usually be divided into strategic logistics, campaign logistics, and tactical logistics.

Now Geng Jingzhong is leading the army north, especially Zeng Yangxing led the infantry army to just finish a battle, and this logistics task belongs to campaign logistics. At the time of perfecting the logistics of the army. Geng Jingzhong once vividly said a sentence: Military logistics are like a big tree, and strategic logistics is like a tree trunk. is immovable; Campaign logistics are like branches, half-moving; Tactical logistics are like leaves, they are all in motion. After this battle, things were complicated and tense even more tense than before the war, so there was no perfect logistics system, and the army was chaotic.

"There's one more thing to report to you." Zhang Wenliang paused and said. "The Zheng army in the south has not moved so far, and we want to give this Jiashan County to them, but no one will receive it. If they could have sent troops from the direction of Jiaxing City to attack the Qing army from the west, the Qing army would have collapsed long ago, and our whole army would not have dragged on for more than two hours, and so many brothers had been killed and wounded. ”

Zeng Yangxing waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about them, they have been beaten by the Qing army for more than half a year, and there is no reinforcement on the Taiwan side, and Liu Guoxuan also came to a big defeat." In addition, the cavalry of the Qing army is constantly harassing the local counties and towns, and they even need to spend a lot of effort to ensure the logistics, which will be our strength in their opinion, plus the Zheng army in Jiaxing City, the total number of people is a little more than the Qing army, although the county town of Jiashan is smaller, but it is still not cheap to fight with a slight advantage in troops. ”

"Also, the main thing is that they don't have any soldiers to replenish for the time being, I heard that in the past six months, they have also recruited new recruits in northern Zhejiang, but the effect is very poor, and not many people have defected to them." Zhang Wenliang said with a sneer. "Then Zeng Shuai, do we still want to let this Jiashan County out?"

"Let! Of course let's! Zeng Yang said without thinking: "This Jiashan County relies on this Jiaxing City, we take it harmful and useless, which can only make Zheng Jun jealous of us, besides, at this time, we are still in a cooperative relationship with Zheng Jun after all, and this knife is not like a knife on their necks." Our goal is to take Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion, and this Jiaxing Mansion should be given to Zheng Jun. ”

"As soon as the matter is over, I immediately set off for Suzhou City, and it is estimated that the Qing army in Suzhou City has almost gotten the news at this moment. Hehe, the main force of the Qing army has been destroyed, and Suzhou City is at our fingertips, so we don't have to make any effort! Zeng Yang said happily.

"Well, the army will be rested in two days, and then the army will set off!"
