That's not all, the important thing is that these later troops were armed with artillery, and when the artillery built improvised positions in the circle formed by the phalanx, and the artillery began to exert its might, the Qing army began to be unlucky.

A large number of rocket shells and flowering shells fell into the cavalry group, causing huge casualties, more than a thousand cavalry casualties in an instant.

At this time, even the commander of the Qing army was unwilling, and knew that nothing could be done, and if he continued to fight, it would only increase casualties, and he could not cause any substantial losses to the enemy, so he could only lead the troops to turn around and run.

After all, the cavalry had the advantage of mobility, and the two units of the Huaxia Army could not pursue, so they could only watch the cavalry run away.

After that, the two forces can come together.

When the two teams converged, there was naturally a lot of work to do, and by the time these things were dealt with, it was already night to clear and strengthen the camp.

By the time the casualties of the daytime battle were counted, the faces of all the officers and warriors below Li Xian had darkened.

In this battle, the casualties of the First Brigade of the Huaxia Army were as high as 2,360, and the casualty rate was close to 50 percent, which was a rare heavy casualty since the formation of the Huaxia Army, and also set a record for the highest number of casualties in a single day of the Huaxia Army.

You must know that when the Opium War was fought a few years ago, the Huaxia military field was a big battle, but there was almost no case of more than 1,000 casualties in a single day.

In addition, the casualties of the special combat team and other martial arts units are also extremely large, and the original more than 700 martial arts troops are now only more than 300 people available.

The losses of ordinary soldiers are relatively easy to replenish, and these martial artists who need to cultivate for a long time are not so easy to replenish, in short, they are big losses.

At the officers' meeting, Li Xian made a profound review, and reflected on his behavior of rashly marching into Jiulian Mountain without doing a good job of reconnaissance, and blindly sending troops to cross the immortal crossing.

If there had been no rush to cross the river at that time, and all the troops were in the position to be in full position, even if more than 200,000 corpse soldiers pounced later, they could have relied on the special combat team to intercept them, and ordinary soldiers would not have suffered so many casualties.

Of course, the defeat was so miserable this time, and it was also related to the two unscientific unconventional tricks used by the Qing court in succession, but this is how to fight with soldiers, and any moth can appear in the battle with the enemy, and the enemy's use of moths is not the reason for failure.

Speaking of the harvest of this battle, that is, to obtain a large number of corpse soldiers' corpses, you can refine a considerable number of Dao seeds; in addition, through this battle, the Huaxia Army can finally get a glimpse of how thick the hole cards of the Qing court are, in a sense, this is much more important than the harvest of Dao seeds.

At the beginning, the Mixed Yuan Sect and the Sanyuan Temple annihilated a large number of corpse soldiers in the Sanyuan Blessed Land, including 50,000 or 60,000 white-armored soldiers, thousands of abomination giants and nearly a million ordinary corpse soldiers who were not in the ranks, and after refining with the characteristics of the Fire Lotus Bead and the Mixed Yuan Qigong, they obtained more than 3,000 Mixed Yuan Dao Species, which provided an extremely rich material foundation for the rise of the Sanyuan Temple and the Mixed Yuan Sect.

The corpses of the corpse soldiers obtained this time are more than 200,000 large, and the number is smaller, but most of them are advanced white armor soldiers, the quality is very high, and after refining, you should be able to get more than 1,000 mixed yuan dao seeds, if it is not for the loss of yourself, it is a good harvest.

Having said that, the Immortal Sutra, Fire Lotus Bead, and Mixed Yuan One Qigong that Li Xian obtained from the Demon Venerable all had a good restraint effect on the special type of corpse soldier, and could even transform the useless Necromantic Dao Species into the Mixed Yuan Dao Species, this Demon Venerable's mind was really deep.

In addition to the harvest of the Dao seed, what is more important is that the rebels can finally get a glimpse of the true strength of the Qing court.

On the surface, the Qing court seemed to be corrupt and degenerate, unable to fight, and only one million green battalion soldiers with weak combat effectiveness were on the table, but in fact this was not the case.

From the beginning of the founding of the country, the Qing court did not think of relying on the Han people to establish its own political power, that is to say, it did not think of establishing a military force with the Han people as the main body.

To put it simply, the Green Battalion is corrupted and corrupted, but secretly uses the various resources obtained by running the country to form and build a super-conventional military force.

The main body of this military force is corpse soldiers, hundreds of millions of corpses created since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, plus a large number of corpses obtained from the ruling for more than 100 years, after special methods of refining, enough for the Qing court to create an extremely large number of corpse soldiers.

One thing to note is that not all corpse soldiers are white-armored soldiers who are several times stronger than ordinary people.

In fact, most of the corpse soldiers are not as strong as ordinary people, and their intelligence is also very poor, and they cannot carry out even the simplest battle orders, and can only rely on instinct to kill.

A very small part of these corpse soldiers mutate in order to become powerful white-armored soldiers of the advanced class, who can fight in heavy armor, which is the origin of white-armored soldiers.

The proportion of corpse soldiers converted into white-armored soldiers is very low, but the base number of corpse soldiers is too large, so that the Qing court can always summon white-armored soldiers.

In addition to the white-armored soldiers, the Qing court's Inhuman Hall also relied on the advantage of occupying most of the land in the main world, combined with the dozen or so Cave Heaven Blessed Lands it had forcibly occupied, and cultivated a considerable number of monks, including a large number of third-order and fourth-order masters, and even innate martial artists such as Pang Ban and the Cardinal Dharma King.

In addition, the Qing court should also have an elite cavalry team, that is, the Eight Banners cavalry unit that Li Xian and they encountered today.

This army should be composed of ordinary people, but just looking at those military horses that can charge desperately under artillery fire, and even those cavalry rarely run away in battle, it is clear that this cavalry is definitely not as simple as ordinary cavalry, and it must have been done countless tricks and feet by the Inhuman Palace.

You must know that the cavalry of the ordinary cold weapon era will never be able to fight with the firearms unit for the first time, and they will be able to attack with artillery fire, even if the knight has this courage, the war horse will be frightened and flee in all directions.

The warriors of the Central Plains have fought countless battles with the Qing court, but they have hardly realized the existence of such a cavalry before, but this cavalry is obviously a team with a long heritage, and it is by no means established by the Inhuman Palace.

This shows that the formation and training of this cavalry may not have been carried out in the Central Plains, and it is most likely that the Qing court has been secretly raising such a force outside the pass.

Li Xian even suspected that this army was trained by the training method of the Eight Banners cavalry who destroyed the Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners in history was quite strong, and they could often do some things that ordinary people would never be able to accomplish, if the Inhuman Hall had a set of secret methods for training special cavalry, and then passed down this kind of cavalry from generation to generation from more than a hundred years ago to the present, it would explain a lot of problems.

However, no matter how strong this cavalry is, it is flesh and blood, and it is obviously outdated in the era of firearms.

The Huaxia Army has been working hard to collect information about the strength of the Qing court, and combined with today's battles, it can be estimated that the true strength of the Qing court is: 1 million green battalion soldiers, 1 million white armor soldiers, an unknown number of ordinary corpse soldiers, more than 10,000 monks, and more than 100,000 Eight Banner cavalry.
