Their "luck" of this Qing army was really good.

Because they became the first batch of "clinical" test products for this batch of large-caliber artillery.

If the Qing army was dispersed at this time, then the Qing army would have dispersed, and their team was messy and stretched for more than ten miles.

But this does not mean that the Qing army has left the official road.

It is precisely because the Qing army was chasing, who would go down the official road and pursue the muddy fields if he was traumatized?

Although the team was scattered, people were still on the official road.

The official road is too easy to calibrate and shoot the elements because its target is obvious and it is a dead object.

"Rumbling" large-caliber cannons came from more than ten miles away. After bursting out of the muzzle, sixteen-pound cannon shells, they whistled across the sky with a scream.

The rapid-fire gun of "Bangbang" fires a flowering bullet, and one blows a large area.

And the "bang bang" sound of tiger squatting cannons is a heavy rain. Although the raindrops are small, it is too dense.

This is a unilateral massacre, with soldiers on both sides having no contact at all.

The official road surface that is more than ten miles long, which is originally solid and hard, was plowed in just a short incense stick like a farmer reclaiming the fields.

After the battle, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army who were cleaning the battlefield stepped on it, as if they were stepping on it in powder, and one foot was an inch-deep footprint.

This is a victory for huge ammunition consumption.

If we only look at the cost of ammunition, Jiang Quanyi would be punished heavily.

In this battle, more than 100 heavy artillery shells, more than 300 rapid-fire shells, and more than 1,000 tiger squat artillery shells were destroyed.

And how many Qing army really killed and injured?

All together, less than two thousand people.

When the Qing army left the city, there were indeed 4,000 people, but after chasing them for half a day, the ones who fell behind exceeded 30%.

In addition, after the shelling occurs, those who are quick to react or are lucky to approach both sides of the road will mostly escape their lives.

In other words, only one shell can kill and injure an enemy.

It's so luxurious!

But Jiang Quanyi did it. What he wanted most was that except for those who ran away and those who sprained their ankle, no casualties were found in his troops.

Without any casualties, it is a complete victory.

A complete victory can be an example!

....

The official road from Ningxiang to Xinghua was full of people running.

Escape is exhausted and hysterical. There is no way to go. Who said that these are military achievements? Who made the enemy and me grow only one pair of legs?

But this scene is so familiar.

This was the same scene half a day ago, but the direction was exactly the opposite.

The characters who pursue the fugitives were also exchanged.

Jiang Quanyi was a cruel man. He did not take away wounded soldiers and captured prisoners. Whether it was Manchu or Han people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, as long as they were injured, it would be a knife.

In his words, keeping manpower and wasting food?

He only kept uninjured prisoners, because he knew very well that what the King of Wu lacked most was not money, but people and labor.

Especially for this kind of labor force that does not need to be paid, the more the better.

Not only did Jiang Quanyi know this, but the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army were even more aware of this.

Therefore, once the Qing army collapsed, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army rushed up, spread their feet and captured prisoners all over the ground.

Just as he grabbed it, the Northern Expedition Army was approaching Xinghua City again.

Jiang Quanyi grinned and laughed. Only by fighting such a war can he seem capable.

....

Wu Zheng arrived in Taixing.

In his words, the command center moved forward.

But in fact, Wu Zheng was not thinking about this, but constraints.

Wu Zheng knew very well that if such an army that had been separated by generations and had similar forces, if he lost, he would have to kill him with a piece of tofu.

If you don’t be a leader, you don’t know how expensive it is!

This battle would not have happened originally.

The General's Mansion did not make any preparations for war, and even the production of the military workshop was still six hours a day, and two shifts were served.

But Wu Zheng couldn't swallow this.

When he was conspiring and tricking, the Han people were the ancestors of Manchus.

When the princes of the Central Plains were scattered, Manchus had just evolved into humans, right?

There is no reason why Dorgon set up a series of plans, so he didn't react at all, right?

That's too sorry for Dorgon's "good intentions".

Since Dorgon wants to win with a strange victory, he might as well have a match with the right one.

Only by using one's own weaknesses and attacking one's strengths can one realize the true nature of a hero!

The battle has begun, but Wu Zheng is unsure.

Because the Finance Department's warehouse is not well-off.

Wu Zheng could only come. The purpose of coming was not to move the command forward as he said, but to restrain his subordinates... Don't fight, you're thinking too much!

It doesn’t matter south of the Yellow River.

But once you cross the Yellow River, the advantage of musketeers will be restrained by the cavalry.

On the plains, cavalry, especially rangers, come and go without a trace, and they can traverse at will, so that musketeers can't even find their direction.

When artillery is used in field battles, there must be a prerequisite for them to fight you head-on and fight a positional battle.

Otherwise, how can you come and go calmly like others?

Of course, musketeers can also defeat cavalry, that is, crush the cavalry by number.

If there are 1,000 cavalrymen, then use 3,000,500, or even 10,000 people to fight. No matter which direction the enemy cavalry comes from, they will have several times the guns facing each other.

It sounds like a stupid method, but the effect is very good.

Training a cavalry is far from unimaginable.

The war horses in the north are cheap, but that is in the north. A horse in the south of the Yangtze River costs 30 taels of silver. A war horse is more than a hundred taels. If there is money, it can’t be bought. It’s military strategic materials.

Cavalry must also prepare armor, swords, guns, bows and crossbows. Even if they are light cavalry, they must always have leather armor.

Together, if a cavalry is trained in Jiangnan, it will cost nearly 200 taels of equipment.

But now a musket has controlled the cost to 15 or 6 taels. For example, two shoulder bags on the left and right sides of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army, each with thirty bullets (preloaded bullets in paper cases), plus two sets of military uniforms, they don’t even need to be equipped with armor, at best, only more than twenty taels of silver.

Besides, the Manchus in the north do not need training and are born with cavalry, but how many Manchus are there?

It is not allowed to train Han people or form the Eight Banners of Han people. They are Han people and need to choose talented ones, and most of them need training. This training will not be able to go to the battlefield in no time for a year.

But the musketeers are at most three months old, and they are holding a gun, and they will die if they hit them.

In other words, just in terms of the cost of formation, a cavalry can afford the expense of ten musketeers.

The cavalry battalion that Wu Zheng originally formed did not want to be built again once the war was too damaged. It was not because Wu Zheng did not like cavalry, but was forced by reality. In fact, every man liked cavalry!

Wu Zheng must spend his financial resources on the blade.

That is to use quantity to defeat quality, musketeers are originally an example of how quantity to overcome quality and vague to overcome exquisiteness.

But from nothing to something, it also takes time. What Wu Zheng lacks most is not money or labor, but... time.
