The Qing army retreated across the board, and the Ming army began a full-scale pursuit. This is the best time to expand the results.
Wu Changqing's army is also quite experienced in chasing and killing defeated soldiers, and they have done this many times.
The troops in front were responsible for the pursuit, and those who did not kneel down and surrendered were just a knife, while those who had already thrown their weapons and kneeled down and surrendered were ignored and handed over to the troops behind.
The people in front must chase non-stop to "bite" the enemy and prevent the enemy from escaping easily.
In the back, there were troops specializing in receiving prisoners and cleaning the battlefield.
The whole process is proceeding in an orderly manner.
But Wu Changqing and others just stayed in the camp and waited for the good news.
"The Eight Banners soldiers are not equally vulnerable."
Liu Hansan smiled and teased, he certainly deserves to be proud of defeating the Eight Banners Cavalry.
"This time it's mainly because the enemy doesn't understand us. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to win such a big victory next time."
Dai Zhijun analyzed that if the Manchu cavalry did not come to attack their hollow phalanx, it would not be easy for them to annihilate the enemy's cavalry.
The greatest advantage of cavalry is speed, not impact.
Relying on its speed, the cavalry can actually do a lot.
For example, arranging a cavalry force of tens of thousands of people to attack their cold weapon unit, and they will have a headache. Or, the cavalry can follow their troops far away, making them uneasy.
Once they slack off the cavalry, they charge. In order to prevent being charged, they have to stay in the formation. This is a huge problem for marching.
In short, there are many places where cavalry can play a role. Before machine guns appeared, cavalry always occupied a place on the battlefield.
Only when the machine gun appears, the cavalry will completely withdraw from the stage of the main battlefield.
"Master Dai, you are resourceful, think of something to ambush their cavalry again."
Liu Hansan hugged Dai Zhijun. He knew that his talents were limited, and it was already a bit difficult to command more than 10,000 people. Therefore, Dai Zhijun, who is better at commanding the army, is very friendly, just hoping to make friends with each other.
In the future, as Wu Changqing's forces become more and more powerful, his power will grow stronger and he urgently needs the help of some talented people.
"With this kind of strategy, I have dedicated it to the general a long time ago. How could it be so easy."
Dai Zhijun vomited.
The battle is still based on the upright confrontation between the two armies. The so-called various tricks are actually choices in desperation. It is not an easy task to get the enemy in the middle.
The pursuit continued until the evening, when the main force in front of them gradually withdrew back to Danyang Camp.
In the camp's tent, Wu Changqing and many other high-ranking generals are gathering together, listening to the statistician's report of the results.
"According to preliminary statistics, our army killed more than 23,000 enemy troops in this campaign, including more than 13,000 from the Manchu Eight Banners, more than 4,000 from the Mongolia Eight Banners, and more than 6,000 from the Han Army Eight Banners.
A total of more than 46,000 enemy troops were captured, including about 20,000 Han Eight Banners, 16 Manchu Eight Banners, and Mongolia Eight Banners about 9,000.
Among the captured enemy forces, nearly 7,000 were injured.
Among these 70,000 people, 13,000 are cavalry and more than 56,000 are infantry.
Among them, there were 32 generals above guerrilla and captured the enemy's British Prince Azig alive. "
This is a gain for the personnel, it can be said to be a super victory, the Qing army has already suffered a lot of muscles and bones.
There were 70,000 people who died and were captured, plus some scattered soldiers. The Qing army who managed to escape back to Nanjing this time was probably in the early forty thousand at most, and nearly 70% of them were damaged. troops.
For an army, this is almost tantamount to abolition. Having suffered such a heavy loss, the morale of the remaining soldiers may be so low that they can escape at any time.
But Azig was a surprise. This guy didn't know why he fell from the horse and suffered some injuries, and was caught alive by the cavalry behind him.
This is the general who has suffered the highest loss since Manchu Qing entered the customs.
When attacking Jiangyin Chengcheng, the Qing army also died some so-called kings, but they were all miscellaneous kings, and they didn't have much weight.
But the Prince of England is different, this is the prince of the most serious. Moreover, he is also Dorgon's real brother.
In terms of these identities alone, the capture of Aziger is enough to inspire people and boost morale.
After talking about the gains in personnel, the next step is gains in materials.
First of all, forty-five of the fifty cannons were seized. When the Qing army fled, it was definitely impossible to transport this big guy weighing nearly three kilograms.
Therefore, the Qing army took the action of destruction, but because of an eager escape, the destruction process was done too hastily. Only five doors were successfully blown up, and the rest were only slightly damaged and easily repaired.
More than forty cannons are worth almost one hundred thousand taels. Moreover, this kind of strategic materials, money may not necessarily be bought, and it takes a lot of time to build.
With this batch of cannons, Wu Changqing could form a powerful artillery force, and siege the city would be much easier. It's so cool to win the battle, and you can seize a lot of good things.
If it weren't for such a big victory in the wild, he was asked to get fifty cannons, and the ghost knew when they would get it.
In addition to the artillery, more than 5,000 shots of ordinary firecrackers were seized. These were transported back to Suzhou to modify some bayonet devices to equip the troops.
These matchlock guns can only exert their greatest power in the hands of Wu Jun. This time, the Qing Army became a transport captain and helped Wu Jun grow up quickly.
Other cold weapons such as swords and spears are massive, enough to equip a cold weapons force of 50,000 troops. With this batch of weapons, Wu Changqing can quickly expand his army.
Although the Cold Weapon Force is behind, it is impossible for Wu Changqing to abandon it. Because the speed of their gun building is far behind the speed of army expansion, cold weapon troops are still the mainstream.
Some horses were also seized, about 4,000.
It is not easy to seize the horses, their speed is too fast, and most of the cavalry fled.
In addition to weapons, they also seized half a month's rations for the 100,000 army, as well as other miscellaneous materials such as tents and quilts.
This kind of seizure can be said to be a super bumper harvest, and you can directly expand the army by 50,000 without worrying about running out of materials.
"What about the loss of our army?"
Wu Changqing asked, although they won a big victory in this battle, their losses were definitely not small.
The left and right wings fought hand-to-hand with the enemy for nearly an hour, while the Chinese army was hit by two rounds of cavalry, two rounds of infantry, and more than half an hour of shelling.
"Our army killed a total of 5,732 people, 260 missing, more than 1,000 seriously injured, and more than 6,000 slightly injured. Among them, the left wing accounted for 2,000, and the Chinese army accounted for 2-3. The right wing accounted for seventeen thousand.
Two artillery blasted, more than 500 horses were lost, and more than 1,000 crossbows were damaged. The matchlock gun damaged two thousand shots, and the flintlock gun damaged 1,500 shots. "
Hearing damage to 1,500 flintlocks, Wu Changqing felt a bit of pain.
Most of these guns were damaged by great force while resisting the impact of the cavalry, and some were damaged due to too many consecutive shots.
This is a flintlock. This one thousand and five hundred shots will take at least 20 days to make.
Wu Changqing has been urging Liu Baojun to train more senior craftsmen. However, the cultivation of talents always takes time. Now the Nissan of Weapon Workshop's flintlocks has increased to 80 shots, which is already a big improvement.
Although a large number of flintlocks were lost, compared to the results obtained, this loss was not particularly large, and they were all within Wu Changqing's bearing range.
It's just that, after experiencing this kind of battle, he is temporarily unable to attack Nanjing anymore.
Soldiers need to rest, prisoners need to be dealt with, equipment needs to be repaired, wounded need to be treated, the army needs to expand, and so on.
Within a month, he couldn't recover.
As for the Qing army, it was even worse, giving them a year to recover.
Wu Changqing only needs to wait patiently for the last month to adjust the state of the army, and then he can head towards Zhenjiang and Nanjing.
