The morale of the soldiers and horses of the Huang Department recovered instantly, and Ling Jingyang quietly asked Lao Mantou to lead the troops to take a look at the artillery position of the Huang Degong Department, and bring back the artillery and shells that were not destroyed, he firmly believed that the Qing army did not have the ability to destroy hundreds of cannons in a short time.

Later, I felt that it was not enjoyable, and said directly to Huang Degong: "General Huang, our department still has some artillery, why don't we let our artillery be stationed in your battery, do you think it's good?" ”

The two hundred cannons were all destroyed, Huang Degong felt pain when he thought about it, and hundreds of gunners were killed and wounded, so that he almost lost his artillery unit, so it was better to treat the fort as a favor and give it to Ling Jingyang.

"Governor Lingdu, if you think you can make do with it, let your artillery station, there are still three days to block the warp, and we can't go hungry in these three days?"

Ling Jingyang also thought about how to maintain three days of grain and grass, but Jin Sheng said happily: "Two, the old man De'an Mansion has some grain and grass, let Jiang Tian and his people send it over, and they can arrive at the front line tomorrow evening, one meal a day, one meal is dry, one meal is thin, and then the water source is guarded, it can last three days." ”

This news relieved Ling Jingyang and Huang Degong.

In order to protect Jiang Tianyi, Ling Jingyang could send grain and grass, and Huang Degong made a look, and Huang Degong understood, and asked the general to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to De'an Mansion and send the grain and grass over as soon as possible.

At this time, the dawn was dawn, the morale of the Ming army had been restored, Ling Jingyang led his troops to the Huang Degong Fort, which was a mess, the corpses of the artillerymen were carried away, but the blood stains on the ground were still there, and the old steamed bun trotted over excitedly.

"Governor, there are still seven great general's cannons to use."

"Where's gunpowder?"

"More than fifty wooden boxes."

Ling Jingyang asked Lao Mantou to weave the general's cannon and gunpowder into the artillery camp.

Fortunately, last night the main force of the Qing army was attacking the Huang Degong Fort and burning grain and grass, most of the other military camps were burned down, and the artillery camps were only simply destroyed, damaging a small half of the artillery, and there were dozens of small and medium-sized artillery pieces that could continue to fight.

This time with the addition of seven general cannons, the old steamed bun artillery battalion was not only not weakened, but also strengthened, and dozens of gunners were found in Huang Degong's Taipao, all of which were forcibly merged into the artillery battalion to improve the strength of the artillery battalion.

Ling Jingyang held a simple military meeting at the fort and told the generals that it would be tomorrow afternoon

There is food and grass to come, and there are those who spread rumors and disturb the morale of the army, so there is no need to ask for instructions.

Subsequently, the generals of the various departments reported the battle losses, and the Ming army won a great victory, but also lost a lot of soldiers, among which the Iron Fist Legion suffered the most losses, because the Iron Fist Legion replenished a large number of recruits in the early stage, and the number of troops was the largest among the soldiers and horses, but the combat effectiveness was the first.

Defeat the Qing army tonight, all the generals are very excited, only Shi Tie is the most depressed, the Iron Fist Legion has 6,000 soldiers and horses, and the loss of one-third, if it is not for the attack with the large army, such a high casualty, the Iron Fist Legion would have collapsed long ago.

He Zhen, Gao Ding's two soldiers and horses lost little, only more than 1,000 people, Zhang Shun and Lao Mantou and Huang Degong ambushed the Qing army, and as a reserve, the loss was not large, if it was not for Huang Degong to reinforce Ling Jingyang, the loss of these two soldiers and horses would be smaller.

The troops directly under Ling Jingyang fought with him, and the losses were second only to the Iron Fist Legion, Wei Lan and Shi Tie were in a painful mood, and Ling Jingyang asked the generals how many prisoners there were?

Speaking of going to the prisoners, everyone's eyes lit up, last night's battle captured more than 4,000 Qing soldiers, most of them were green battalion soldiers, these green battalion soldiers have no discipline, whoever gives more money, they will follow whoever mixes, and it is also a good source of soldiers.

More than 4,000 captives were divided by Huang Degong, and the remaining more than 2,000 captives were all squatting behind the fort, Ling Jingyang and the generals shook their heads, and agreed that they would go to the captives to pick up troops.

The generals immediately rushed to the back of the fort to select prisoners, for fear that they would be snatched away by others if they were too late.

Ling Jingyang asked Xu Sheng, the guards and the rifle shot were lost.

Xu Sheng was a little uncomfortable, tonight's combat guards actually suffered the greatest losses, more than 400 people killed more than 200 people, and the rifle platoon also lost 19 people, and it was the guards who needed to replenish fresh blood the most.

After listening to this, Ling Jingyang fell into silence, last night the guards followed him and rushed violently, and they have been fighting with the Qing army at the front line, and they lost so many people in the first battle.

"They are all good sons, go back and take care of their families."

This is the only thing he can do, Xu Sheng said to him: "Dudu, the guards have lost Da, and they must also replenish the soldiers." ”

Ling Jingyang asked Xu Sheng not to select soldiers from among the prisoners, but to select elite soldiers from various troops and horses to replenish the guards, and he asked Xu Sheng how many rifles, bullets and grenades he still had.

Speaking of this, Xu Sheng's heart ached, this time the battle consumed most of the bullets and grenade bullets, he replied bitterly Ling Jingyang, there were 700 bullets and 60 grenade bullets.

There are only so many bullets left, Ling Jingyang hopes that Mei Shaozuo can bring back the bullets, otherwise the rifle without bullets is a weakened version of the spear.

"Go back and rest, Jiannu will not give up after dawn, and will definitely come to take revenge,"

Xu Sheng took the guards to rest, and Ling Jingyang came to the highest point of the fort, where dozens of gunners were arranging artillery.

The Qing army is like a small strong that can't be killed, Ling Jingyang looked at the more and more Qing troops, and sighed that if it weren't for Wu Sangui and other scum, with the soldiers and horses of the Qing army, they would not have been able to bear such heavy losses.

I don't know when, Wan Liyun came behind him, a few meters away from Ling Jingyang, two guards stepped forward, Wan Liyun and Ling Jingyang said: "Dudu, don't go to rest, enjoy the beautiful scenery here, or do you want two women?" ”

"I think that you look at the great rivers and mountains, and you are trampled under the horse's hooves by Jiannu, which is a shame for our soldiers."

Ling Jingyang and the guards waved their hands, Wan Liyun came to the side, he didn't rest, in the battle last night, Wan Liyun led his own soldiers to fight with the Iron Fist Legion, he also saw with his own eyes that there were many recruits in the Iron Fist Legion, if it wasn't for Ling Jingyang leading the direct troops to defeat the Qing army, the Iron Fist Legion collapsed last night, and he might also die in the chaos.

Now that he is free, Ling Jingyang also wants to know more about Wanliyun.

"Wan Liyun, I've known you for so long, I don't know where your family is, tell me, are they okay?"

Ling Jingyang wanted to be at home with Wan Liyun, but Wan Liyun didn't speak, his eyes looked ahead.

After a long time, I talked to Ling Jingyang about another topic.

"Governor, when the Qing army enters the customs, how many Ming troops surrender to the Qing army?"

This has nothing to do with Wanliyun's family, but Ling Jingyang still politely replied to him, and thousands of Ming troops surrendered to the Qing army.

Wan Liyun also said that not only the Ming army, but also the Dashun army, and the Daxi army also surrendered to the Qing army.

He is also a lieutenant of the Dashun Army, and he can be regarded as a middle-level general in the Dashun Army.
