Although the two warring parties will not report the situation to each other, anyone who is not blind can see the tragic casualty ratio.
It can be said that the Qing army realized a cruel reality through the first day of fighting.
That is, even if they have more soldiers and horses, even if they are in the plains, even if they have cavalry, they are still no match for the National Defense Forces.
The setting sun turned red, and the earth was bright. After the fierce battle, it was extremely peaceful.
Human beings who have fought life and death began to rest greedily. They worked hard to regain their strength and waited for the next fight to come.
The Qing army retreated and set up camp twenty miles away, needing enough time to lick their wounds.
The National Defense Forces were very leisurely here and were responsible for cleaning the battlefield.
At the same time, smoke could be seen everywhere in the camp.
After the war, enough food is more suitable for victory.
Zhang Yong, Zhao Liangdong, and Wang Jinbao witnessed an unprecedented battle with their own eyes, and they had not yet recovered from the shock.
"Generally speaking, we had no problem fighting today's battle. Don't worry about how big of a mistake it was to be rushed in by the Qing cavalry. No matter how advanced the weapons are, the enemy is not a wooden pile. No matter how normal this situation is
But it’s too late.”
"There's no need to passively accept it. I'll let him try our offensive methods tomorrow."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Yu Lichun was actually providing psychological counseling to Pei Shuai, the leader of the 38th Regiment.
Seeing that he actually wanted to speak, Yu Lichun was quite curious.
For a moment, everyone looked at Zhang Yan, hoping he could say something.
Yu Lichun was extremely passionate.
In the past, whether in the Ming army or the Qing army, the people above gave orders, and they just followed them.
Zhang Yan waved his hand.
Everyone was shocked and had no idea that he would actually take the initiative to attack.
In wars, the side with lagging weapons and equipment often resorts to night fighting and close combat to eliminate the equipment gap.
He also let go.
"Send enough food to the people in the city, and if anyone gets sick, send them to the hospital as well."
"He didn't even leave me a grain of rice!"
"Although Duduo suffered a disastrous defeat today, he will never give up. Next, his attacks will be very fierce. He will attack in one go, then fail in the second, and in the third he will be exhausted. He will not give up until at least tomorrow."
The behavior of these National Defense Forces soldiers was really scary.
The group of people found the headquarters, where post-war summaries were being conducted.
Xin Junle rushed back from the south bank of Hutuo River for the meeting.
They remembered what Zuo Menggeng said when he was teaching at the military academy.
"Zhao Liangdong, since you have made up your mind to become a soldier of our national defense force, you will be one of your own from now on. If you have any ideas, feel free to speak freely. Don't be so cautious."
Yu Lichun even thanked Zhao Liangdong repeatedly and said that she would take credit for him.
Xu Tiancheng has a stable character and made suggestions.
Although when heading north from Taiyuan, a lot of grain and grass were collected along the way. However, the only food that could be used to wrap the belly was coarse grain, plus some horse meat killed in battle.
When Wu Sangui arrived in Yanchang County, he felt truly desperate.
Everyone laughed and felt their shoulders relax.
"Um... generals, I am young and have little talent and knowledge. Some of my ideas may be over-considered. Please bear with me."
Now after hearing Yu Lichun's comfort, he felt a little better.
Everyone could only get a small piece as big as a palm, and it was gone after a few bites. And what to eat for the next meal was not yet clear.
Many times, even if you win, you won't feel anything.
"You have also seen the situation of today's battle. Our weapon advantage is too great. Even if the Qing army has more troops than us, it is not our opponent. If the Qing army is still allowed to attack tomorrow, maybe they will come up with something
Any novel attack method will cause us trouble. In this case, it is better for us to take the initiative to attack, which can also knock down their spirit."
Seeing Yanchang County reduced to ashes, Wu Sangui roared angrily.
Everyone was ashamed and quickly woke up.
They accompanied Zhang Yan to the National Defense Army camp, and for a moment they felt extremely small.
Seeing that Zhang Yan was still thinking about those who had surrendered, Zhang Yong and the other three were extremely grateful and felt an even greater sense of belonging.
They feasted on fish and meat here to supplement their nutrition, but the Qing army on the opposite side was in a worse situation.
This kind of meeting pattern was something he had never seen before.
Now everyone understood that Yu Lichun's new approach was not a mistake.
Eating beef on the battlefield was completely beyond their imagination.
"Don't look at me! I am the Minister of Logistics. I will take care of your food, drink, and toilet, and then complete the task. As for how to fight the war, it is your business, and I will not go back to report. Your Majesty has his own channels to know what you are doing.
of."
Because Commander Pei felt that he had not fought well, he actually let the Qing cavalry rush into the square, causing casualties among the soldiers.
This was taught by Zuo Mengeng himself, but it turned out to be ignored by them.
"The general has served in the Qing army and has some understanding of Na Duduo's temperament. Although this man is young, he has been on the battlefield for many years and has rich experience, and he is not easily discouraged. During the day, he has seen the power of our army.
I will definitely think hard about how to crack it. If the general’s prediction is correct, he is likely to launch a night attack tonight.”
Although the generals of the Ninth Division said that the food they ate was too simple, Zhang Yong and the others felt that it was the most delicious food they had ever tasted in their lives.
The generals of the Ninth Division were happy and thought about the subsequent battles, but they ignored the changes in the Qing army.
"Should we wait for the Sixth Division to come up from the south before launching the attack?"
Zhang Yan called an officer from the logistics department.
It was originally very rude to be called by his first name. But for some reason, Zhao Liangdong felt his blood boiling when he heard it.
Yu Lichun did not adopt it.
With Zhao Liangdong's reminder, the Ninth Division quickly came up with countermeasures.
After all, there is a county prince here, which makes everyone unable to let go. Now that Zhang Yan has expressed his attitude, they have no obstacles and can use their full strength.
Zhao Liangdong sat aside and looked at the meeting of the generals of the National Defense Force with envy.
He really wants to be involved.
But Duduo was lucky to be able to have this meal after all.
The meeting was in full swing, and sumptuous food was delivered quickly. Zhang Yong and the other two gathered together with the generals of the Ninth Division and had an unforgettable battlefield dinner.
If Azig appeared in front of him at this time, he would definitely draw his sword and kill.
Even if Azige is a prince, Wu Sangui will never care.
Yes, I'm almost starving to death, but do I care whether you are a prince or not?
Even the Qing Emperor, Wu Sangui would fight tooth and nail.
The Han soldiers who followed him were crying loudly, and they all understood that this time they were really dead.
