Chapter 142 Huge seizure

Xiao Tianjian led his troops to chase for a whole day. The three pieces of officers and troops under Huang Degong's command were defeated, and when Xing Tianjun's side came later, it can also be said that they could not be defeated. He chased until dark, and all four battalions were scattered. They chased more than 30 miles in one breath, and even almost chased and killed. When he arrived at the county seat of Ye County, seeing that it was getting dark, the battalions stopped the soldiers and horses one after another, took the prisoners, and pulled the captured things back to Baofeng.

Huang Degong originally led the generals of the headquarters and wanted to fight and retreat along the way, but when he was caught up by the rank of Xing Tianjun, he found that they could not stop the group of tigers and wolves at all. As soon as he stopped and planned to turn around and fight, Xing Tianjun beat them with a large number of birds and covered his face, so that his soldiers abandoned their bodies everywhere. , it collapsed, so that Huang Degong was chased and didn't care about the generals under his command. Under the protection of a group of family members, he ran wildly to escape the pursuit of the Xing Tianjun. Even when he passed through Ye County, he did not dare to enter the city to collect the remaining soldiers. He continued to go around the city and fled with more than a hundred defeated generals. Wuyang stopped, and even his horse was exhausted on the way. It can be said that after the battle, he almost lost all his capital except for his trousers.

Xiao Tianjian waited until noon on Hongshi Mountain the next day, and then all the departments returned to the foot of Hongshi Mountain. Looking at the soldiers of these battalions, they were also tired of crooked armor and dust, but they were all in good spirits. When they came back, they not only brought back a large number of seized materials. At the same time, many captured prisoners of war were also taken back. This time, it can be said that Huang Degong has been completely abolished. In a short period of time, it is impossible for Huang Degong to become the enemy of the Xingtian Army again. As for the officers and soldiers from Runing Mansion and Gwangju, not to mention those officers and soldiers from Guangzhou, directly dispersed after Huang Degong's defeat, there was a lot of the scene. He ran all over the mountain, which made Xing Tianjun no more interested in capturing prisoners.

The most won in this battle is the cavalry battalion under Situ Liang's command. They rely on their mobility far more than the infantry and the fastest to chase. As long as they find a large number of defeated soldiers along the way, they will rush over, break them up, give them to the following troops to clean up the mess, and then urge the horse to chase them down. So over and over again, like a heavy hammer, Huang Degong always couldn't close the remnants. In the end, Huang Degong's mental breakdown, and he ran away first.

In the past, before the Xingtian Army did not form a large number of cavalry, although fighting with the enemy could often defeat the enemy, it was impossible to completely kill the enemy because of the lack of mobile power. Now with the cavalry battalion, the combat effectiveness of the Xing Tianjun has been improved by another level, and the role of cavalry has been developed. It can be said to be incisive, and finally improved the arms of Xing Tianjun, so that Xing Tianjun has a stronger follow-up combat capability.

Take a look at this capture. Huang Degong brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses this time. The Xing Tianjun killed more than 1,000 soldiers and captured nearly 3,000. The rest were completely dispersed, making them defeated soldiers and scattered all parts of the Central Plains. It is no longer possible to be collected by the government. As for the supplies, the hundreds brought by Huang Degong this time. Many of all kinds of artillery guns have been thrown to Xing Tianjun. Among them, there are not only Fran machine guns, but also some general cannons. There are also many smaller bowls, cannons, and tiger squatting cannons. Although Xing Tianjun now disdains to equip these miscellaneous guns, this thing is pulled to equip the reserve battalion or placed on an important pass as a guard. The use of royal firepower is also quite good.

And the thousands of officers and soldiers led by Huang Degong this time were ordered to be transferred from the capital, as a resource for the court to support Xiong Wencan's appeasement, so the soldiers under Huang Degong's command were mostly part of the Beijing camp, and the quality of equipment was far higher than that of the local army in Henan. This time he Their equipment was basically lost to the Xing Tianjun. In order to run faster, the soldiers took off their armor and threw them to the side of the road. When Xing Tianjun chased them, they couldn't care about these things. When they came back, they took a large number of prisoners of war like picking up rags. Along the way, they collected all the weapons and used them away. The mule and horses were loaded back and piled up at the foot of Hongshi Mountain. The armor was piled up as high as the hill. The officers in charge of logistics grinned happily, and at the same time complained, because if these messy armors were re-picked into a complete set, I don't know how many nights they would take for them to complete it!

In addition to armor, a lot of weapons have also been captured. It goes without saying that there are all kinds of bows and arrows and arrows, knives, guns, shields, axes, hooks and forks. There are thousands of pieces in Mr. Linlin. What's more funny is that the Beijing camp, which is powerful, is also equipped with a lot of birds and even Lumi guns, among which the old-fashioned fire guns and three-eyed guns are removed. There are hundreds of miscellaneous firearms such as crutches and other miscellaneous firearms. In this era, it is also quite a sharp weapon. If the two armies fight head-on, in terms of the firepower of the foot army, in fact, the officers and soldiers under Huang Degong may not be far worse than the Xing Tianjun. In the confrontation, even the Xing Tianjun can finally win. However, there was also a big price to pay, but because the two wings of the army collapsed too quickly, Huang Degong did not have a serious chance to fight with Xing Tianjun. As a result, these sharp firearms in the world had no chance to play their use, and finally fell into the hands of Xing Tianjun.

Xiao Tianjian personally checked a few captured Lu Mi gun and found that these Lu Mi gun were extremely well made, and the manufacturing technology level absolutely exceeded Xing Tianjun's current self-made bird gun. After a test shot, he found that both the power and range also exceeded the bird gun and self-made fire gun currently equipped by Xing Tianjun. Unfortunately, the number The amount is a little small, but it's just more than a hundred, but even so, if more than a hundred such Lu Miqi shoot together, Xing Tianjun will also suffer a lot of losses. No wonder Huang De's function led 6,000 officers and defeated nearly 100,000 troops of the Left Fifth Battalion. They do have this strength. As a result, now it's all in vain. It is appropriate to give it to Xing Tianjun.

However, although the bird gun and Lumi gun used by the officers and soldiers can be used, there is no stock, and it is not convenient to aim when operating, and the gun is not stable. Therefore, if the Xing Tianjun wants to be equipped, it will have to hand it over to the craftsman's battalion to replace the stock of the gun before it can be used by equipping the troops. It will take some time.

In addition, many mules, horses and carts, a swarm of bee rockets, ammunition, silver and silk used as a reward for the army, and a large number of grain and fodder have been continuously transported back by Xing Tianjun. In short, as long as the things can be collected, Xing Tianjun is like a big cleaning up, and there is nothing left. , greatly enriched the material reserve of Xing Tianjun, and even Xiao Tianjian, the commander, was dazzle of the captured Feng.

Of course, they also captured a large number of people around Runing Mansion who were recruited by the officers and soldiers. However, for these arrested people, the treatment given by Xing Tianjun was different from those prisoners. He just circled them in one place without any injury or abuse, and gave them to him. When the war was over, Xiao Tianjian personally went to appease them, and each person gave them a taels of silver as travel resources, and everyone gave them some food to take them home.

These people felt like a dream one by one. They thought that they had died, and they were scared. Unexpectedly, Xing Tianjun treated them so kindly, served them deliciously, and everyone sent money and food to send them home. After they understood, they quickly gave it to Xiao Tian. Jian knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly. Some of them were moved and cried. If most of them hadn't remembered that they had family members in their homes, they would not have gone home. Even so, some bachelors immediately decided not to leave and stayed here directly to follow Xing Tianjun.

Niu Jinxing looked at this group of people who slowly dispersed step by step with a smile, and suddenly smiled at Xiao Tianjian: "After such a group of people returned to their hometown, it must be that Runing Mansion is not far from being under the rule of the Marshal!" I deeply admire that the general can do this!"

Xiao Tianjian turned around and smiled at Niu Jinxing and said, "Isn't Xiao's incident for these people? How can I, Xiao, treat them badly? When this war is fought, the people are still the most harmed, so it's better to end it as soon as possible, and save more vitality for our China! Let's go! It's time to go back!"

After saying that, Xiao Tianjian took the reins handed over by the iron head, turned over and shook the reins and drove to Baofeng County first. Looking at Xiao Tianjian's back on the horse, Niu Jinxing suddenly bowed deeply and saluted Xiao Tianjian.
