Chapter 122 Summary
Earlier the next day, the results statistics were also completed.
A total of 40,000 Eighty-Seven Flag cavalry were involved in the battle, and less than 10,000 people followed Duoduo back, and the remaining more than 30,000 were either killed in battle or disappeared.
In addition, more than 40,000 Han army troops were also present. Except for 6,000 people who died in battle, most of the remaining ones were captured.
According to Zhu Cixuan's prediction, the Eight Banners Cavalry died in battle. This time, more than 40,000 people went back at most 20,000. It was possible to defeat 20,000 of them in one battle, which was the biggest victory.
More importantly, they will make the other party feel depressed. Anyway, they will not be able to recover in a short period of time.
Conservatively estimated that both the Manchus and the Han people included, and this time they lost nearly 60,000 troops.
When Zhu Cixuan and his generals were extremely shocked when they heard the results of the document.
We lost more than 4,000 people here, and the other party lost 60,000 troops. This is a 1-to-15 loss ratio!
"Report to the Crown Prince, according to our investigation of the horse, all the opponent's troops have returned to Qufu City."
Since the other party retreated, Li Guodong has been caring about the other party's movements.
Duoduo must have no ability to command. Although this guy was rescued, he was covered in injuries all over his body. It was impossible to expect this guy to continue commanding.
Then all the command powers must be taken to Shandong Governor Fang Dayou. After all, except Duoduo, he is the supreme commander.
According to our investigation, let alone the Han soldiers, even their most elite Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners are now like eggplants that frost is beaten and have little combat power.
They could hardly straighten their backs after a crushing defeat.
This was also the first crushing defeat after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass.
It can even be said to be the biggest defeat since Nurhaci started the army.
Fang Dayou did not dare to neglect, so he immediately sent a letter to the capital city for 600 miles to see what the capital city meant.
Although Duoduo also brought a group of troops, everyone was depressed at this moment, and it was probably impossible to continue fighting.
All the Qing soldiers were huddled in Qufu City, so Zhu Cilang was no longer ruthless.
He immediately ordered his soldiers to start occupying a large area of land south of Qufu, and this area is now under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
After the first victory in the battle, so much land was recovered at once. After the news came back to Nanjing, the government and the country celebrated.
Even though he was happy, Zhu Ciyang also remembered the most important thing, that is, when the opponent rushed into our military camp, how should we defend?
On this issue, Zhu Cixuan personally served as a teacher, called some of his officers, gave them a good demonstration several times, and allowed them to fight back to back.
"When the enemy rushed in, the infantry squad was usually used as a group, and all the people formed a circle and left their backs to their comrades. No matter what direction the enemy rushed over, there were at least three people facing them in front, one of them was not allowed to shoot, and the other two attacked with rapid firepower..."
Zhu Cixuan asked some of his subordinates to pretend to be the Qing cavalry, while others defended. It took nearly half an hour to transfer this tactic.
This method was used by the British colonial army when facing Indian cavalry. Although it was quite old-fashioned, it was extremely useful on the battlefield.
In fact, after baptism on the battlefield, many people can think of this method, but some people can't remember it temporarily, so Zhu Cilang used this method of pulling seedlings to encourage growth.
If you want to summarize it yourself, then what you have to pay is human life, and the price is really too heavy.
Why do you need to let them understand what they know clearly?
After some exercise, these senior officers basically mastered them.
They were also amazed at the sight of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, much better than us. After a battle, people can summarize this method. Why can't we summarize it?
During the training process, some people also proposed a method of changing arrays based on battalions and companies.
When the enemy rushed in, our two rows of soldiers quickly formed a large circle. It turned out that the soldiers in the first three rows continued to fight against the enemies on the outside.
The soldiers in the back two rows concentrated their firepower to annihilate the incoming enemies.
Zhu Cilang did not say that the method they proposed was correct or wrong, but just asked everyone to conduct exercises.
After the exercise, it will indeed achieve certain results, and it will be promoted throughout the army.
The officers or soldiers who propose this method can receive a reward of 500 taels of silver and be promoted to one level.
At the beginning, many people felt that Zhu Cixuan’s reward system was novel, but soon they began to think about it. This is a very good way to get promoted and make money.
The original Ming army was too old. No matter what method Zhu Cilang used, he did not have the ability to rejuvenate them.
Now that a new army has been formed, everyone must be brainstormed so that they can have stronger combat effectiveness.
After experiencing a war, many people also had mature expressions on their faces. When they met the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, we also had more tactics to deal with them.
Originally, Zhu Cilang thought that serious casualties would make everyone feel depressed, but who knew that such a situation did not happen at all.
People in the two eras have completely different ways of thinking.
Zhu Cixuan believed that nearly 4,000 people were killed in a day, which was unacceptable to any army, but for people of this era, what is 4,000 people?
They all saw the other party's casualties of 60,000 or 70,000, which was more than ten times more than ours, and this was the Manchu Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.
Such a result has never occurred in the history of the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.
Generally, the Ming army was the one who saw the Qing army fleeing, especially after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, it was too late to be happy that everyone would be happy!
After learning about everyone's thoughts, Zhu Cilang was relieved.
Other aspects are easy to improve, but morale is not easy to improve. If it is lost, it will not be easy to get it back, such as the current Qing army.
The Eight Banners Iron Cavalry had a total of more than 200,000 people, and now they have lost nearly one-sixth of them.
