Julu, Xuan Army's Jiazhuang Camp, Lu Xiangsheng was in the Chinese military tent watching the battle results reported by each battalion.
He was smiling all over his face, and he had made many gains on the three defense lines. Zhang Cheng and Yang Guozhu were beheaded at 598 levels on the south side, and Hu Dawei and Jiang Mingwu were beheaded at 434 levels on the northern front.
Lu Xiangsheng's Supervisor Battalion at the East Gate also beheaded 467 people. Together, they had beheaded nearly 1,500 people. Lu Xiangsheng estimated that the actual number of casualties of the Qing army should exceed 2,000, or even
More.
However, the battle was brutal, and each battalion suffered more than a thousand casualties, including more than 400 casualties. Among the remaining wounded, many were seriously injured and difficult to treat.
After all, under the attack of the Qing army's artillery and rockets, each battalion was somewhat surprised. Being caught off guard, the casualties would inevitably be greater.
Moreover, the Qing army advanced violently, and each battalion fought hand-to-hand with the slave bandits. Although they held on to the defense line, they suffered heavy casualties. They were divided into two levels, the heavy ones were very heavy, and the light ones were very light.
However, as the side that defended the victory, all the wounded were rescued in time and returned to the camp. Unlike when the Qing army retreated, most of the wounded soldiers were left on the battlefield and allowed to be slaughtered wantonly by the victors.
The generals of Xuanda gathered in Lu Xiangsheng's military tent, discussing military affairs and eating and drinking. During this period, all the generals were full of praise for Wang Dou's defense arrangement.
Under such a defensive posture, the Qing army's strength advantage could not be fully utilized, but our own soldiers had the advantage of the location. Although it cannot be said to be a one-sided massacre, it still had obvious advantages.
Lu Xiangsheng also praised Zhang Cheng very much, and then loudly encouraged the generals in the tent: "In today's first battle, our army has defeated the fierce front of the captives. Now that the slaves and thieves have lost their spirit, all the officers and men only need to hold on to the camp firmly, and it will not take a few days.
The slave thief will be exhausted and his fighting spirit will be lost, so there will be nothing to worry about.
At this time, Eunuch Gao led Guan Ning's army again. With a thunderous strike, the tens of thousands of slave soldiers gathered here should be wiped out with one drum.
All the generals will work together to eliminate the serious troubles for our great Ming Dynasty, and everything will be worry-free from now on."
All the generals clasped their fists and shouted in unison: "We must fight bravely in front of the battle line and kill slaves for the country!"
There was a burst of laughter in the military tent. Guo Yingxian toasted to Zhang Cheng more frequently. Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei also praised Zhang Cheng greatly and toasted to him one after another. Zhang Cheng also responded quickly.
During the banquet, Jiang Mingwu, a guerrilla from Shanxi Town, also came to toast: "General Zhang, not only is he brave in front of the battle, but his thoughts and considerations are also convincing. Jiang Mingwu respects General Zhang."
Zhang Cheng knew that Jiang Mingwu was also a loyal and good general. He was born in a hereditary military family and had been in the military for many years. It was not easy to be promoted to a participating general based on his merits. Moreover, he was in Shanxi Town, so for future plans, he should make good friends with him.
Then he stood up with the wine bowl and said, "General Jiang, please forgive me. This bowl of wine should belong to General Zhang Chengjing."
After the two had a drink, Zhang Cheng got up and went to Jiang Mingwu's desk and drank in return.
Zhang Yan was sitting under Yang Guozhu. Seeing his nephew Zhang Cheng being praised so highly by the governors and generals, he was very happy in his heart, but his face was pretending to be serious and not revealing.
He deeply felt that Zhang Cheng had great ambitions in his heart, but due to his own limited abilities, he might not be able to protect him all the time. Now, Lu Duchen, Yang Junmen, and even Shanxi Zhenhu Junmen all admired him, and maybe even more in the future.
Most young people will protect him.
Zhang Cheng turned back to his seat, looked at the generals drinking in the tent, and fell into deep thought.
He knew very well that Dorgon had gathered so many main forces of the Qing army and would never retreat easily. Although he held the defense line today and was not broken through by the Qing army, the Qing army outside the camp was several times larger than his own. If he held on to the camp, he would be cleared sooner or later.
The army defeated it.
As for Gao Qiqian, Zhang Chengcheng really didn't dare to give him any hope. He was originally afraid of the Qing army like a tiger, and now that the Qing army was powerful outside Jiazhuang, he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it, so how could he come to help.
…………
At the same time, the atmosphere in various camps of the Qing army was very dull. Qing soldiers lit fires one after another, drank water and ate meals in silence. They no longer showed the arrogant energy they had when they first arrived.
.
On the bank of the Laozhang River east of Jiazhuang, in front of the military tent in the Dorgon Camp, there are several large woven gold dragon flags.
In the central military tent, the banner masters of the Manchu and Mongolian banners in the Qing army, as well as Baylor and other important generals of each banner gathered here, all of them looked gloomy and did not say a word.
The casualties of all the banners they participated in today's battle have been tallied, which really shocked everyone in the tent. In today's mere battle, even if they did not try their best to break the camp, the entire army has suffered more than 2,000 casualties. This is not even
Counting those Ming army surrendered artillerymen who died in the battle.
Among them, the number of warriors killed in each banner was more than a thousand. These people were warriors wearing vests, infantry and other armors in each banner. The casualties were really too great. No wonder everyone was in grief and said nothing.
.
Dorgon was sitting behind the desk at the top, with no expression on his face, and his eyes were fixed on a table in the middle of the tent.
After being reported by the banner leaders who were attacking Xuan Dajun's Jiazhuang camp, a hastily drawn defense plan of Xuan Dajun appeared in front of everyone. Looking at this sketch, everyone took a breath.
Prince Heshuosu Hauge first said: "The Ming army's northern front has been exhausted. If we attack again today, we will definitely be able to break through."
Upon hearing this, Dorgon raised his head slightly and glanced at the Qing generals in the tent, but did not even look at Hauge, and returned to the map in the middle.
Doluo Rao Yubeile Abatai raised his eyes to look at Dorgon, and then said: "The Ming army's camp is strong and full of fighting spirit. It is indeed difficult to conquer. How to attack tomorrow requires careful planning. We must not attack forcefully."
, it only increases the casualties of our warriors.”
Hauge glared at Abatai angrily, and just as he was about to say something more, he heard the superior Dorgon say: "Today, although our warriors suffered some casualties, they also tested the strength and weakness of the Ming army's defenses.
We all know the defense layout of the Ming army's Lu Xiangsheng's camp. The camp is surrounded by three earthen walls and ditches, and each has several flat passages. The rest are ditches here and there, which are extremely slippery and difficult to cross;
The defensive line on the east side is slightly narrower. Looking at the flag, it should be the Dubiao Battalion led by Lu Xiangsheng himself. However, this unit is equipped with large artillery and the firearms are sharper;
The southern and northern defense lines are wider. In the south are Yang Guozhu and Zhang Yan's troops in Xuan Town of the Ming Dynasty. The guerrilla Zhang Cheng of the Ming Dynasty is also defending this side. Judging from his tactics, flexible use of firearms, and good cavalry advance and retreat, he is a strong enemy;
To the north is the Shanxi Zhenhu Dawei, Jiang Mingwu tribe, but their troops are not as agile and brave as the Ming army in the south today on the battlefield. Although they defeated our warriors, they suffered a lot of casualties."
"Tomorrow, our army will focus on attacking the Ming Army's northern and eastern defense lines. At the same time, it will also attack the Ming Army's southern side with all its strength so that it will have no spare power to reinforce the northern defense line. We will also send a team of surprise troops to attack from the Haoshui River bank in the northwest.
The west side of the Ming army camp;
You must lead all the warriors under your command and fight bravely to destroy the Ming army here and get rid of Lu Xiangsheng!"
