Valley Emperor

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mountain Valley Emperor!

After the failure to break through the siege, the completely collapsed Ming army, whether it was the local guards or the recruiters, was no different at this time. They scrambled to flee to the rear. Some people tried to bypass the interception of the pseudo-Tang thieves in front and escaped from both sides.

But the Fourth Mixed Regiment, as a unit with independent combat capability, has cavalry!

A 100-strong cavalry team is wandering on the flanks, just waiting for these scattered Ming army deserters!

Looking at the Ming army that had completely disintegrated, Gu Shizhong showed a disdainful expression. These Ming army were nothing more than the same, even the so-called new army of the supervising standard with more than 2,000 people, but in such a panic situation, its combat effectiveness was not. How strong are those local guards!

After the fourth mixed regiment defeated the Ming army who wanted to charge and break through the siege, it did not stop in place, but moved forward quickly, chasing the Ming army who had fled back to the city, and rushed to the city gate, and quickly took control of the city. The door, and then completely blocked the chance that the Ming army in the city wanted to rush out and escape!

This kind of situation also happened in the fifth mixed regiment. The fifth mixed regiment also took control of the city gate after defeating more than 2,000 Ming troops who were trying to break out of the siege!

It didn't take long for the three main forces of the Fifth Infantry Division, the Fourth Mixed Regiment, and the Fifth Mixed Regiment to cooperate with each other, and they had completely controlled the surrounding city walls of Luling City. The remnants of the Ming army could only hide in the city.

After taking control of the urban area, Li Chunjing ordered the troops to take the opportunity to continue to march into the urban area, control all traffic arteries and important areas, and resolutely not give Ma Mingjun in the city a chance to reorganize.

In the afternoon and evening, the gunfire in Luling City continued to sound, but it became more and more dense. A large number of Ming army remnants were surrounded and suppressed, and a small number of stubbornly resisted were killed, but most of them chose to surrender!

It is a pity that none of the civil and military officials of the Ming army in the city, especially the senior officials, chose to lead the army to surrender. Only a few were captured. After leaving the city, it is possible to hide in the city, and it is also possible to mix with the captured Ming soldiers.

But all of this is not important to Li Chunjing. The important thing is that he won Luling City and swept away the first road to continue northward, and it is also the most difficult obstacle to overcome. Next, as long as he follows the steps, Winning Fuzhou and Nanchang is just around the corner!

When he led the army to the edge of the Yangtze River, who would dare to say that his rank of lieutenant general was not qualified?

After dawn, a battle report was expedited to leave Luling City through three hundred miles, and then passed to the rear. This battle report would return to Zhaoqing all the way to report victory to Li Xuan!

Although the victory report was sent out, the siege operation in Luling City was still going on. There were too many troops in the city. Although it was said that there was no organized resistance, too many were scattered in the many houses in the city. It needs to be eliminated one by one.

The Datang Army was quite familiar with this kind of work of clearing and suppressing the fallen troops in the city, and the means of clearing and suppression they used were also simple. They directly controlled various traffic arteries and important areas, and divided each urban area into intervals.

Then directly let all the people in this area come out from their homes to gather at the indicated location, but those who hide and refuse to come out dare not say 100%, but most of them are scattered.

It is also easy to identify the defeated soldiers who have mixed into the public. First, the young and strong are selected. This Luling City used to be just a palace city. There are only tens of thousands of residents in the city, and all the young and strong are counted. Only seven or eight thousand people at most!

However, there are almost 20,000 young adults selected!

Then there is simple accent recognition, but anyone with a foreign accent is basically impossible to be a native of the city, and they are directly pulled away and then identified. If the person has no reasonable reason, then whether he admits it or not, he will be taken away as a defeated soldier. .

If you say that you are a local or a foreigner who comes here, but refuses to admit that you are a soldier of the Ming army, then they will be interrogated and their family members or friends will lead them.

I dare not say that this simple identification method can catch all the defeated soldiers 100%, but most of them can still be caught. At least some of the caught fish escaped, and the Tang Army did not care.

Three days later, the clearing of the city was completed, and the detailed results of the battle were also counted!

In this battle, excluding the civilians who transported the luggage in the rear, the army and navy of the King's Division of the Tang Dynasty participated in the battle with about 30,000 troops.

Excluding the two- and three-pound shotguns, the army has about 150 field guns over 5 pounds, 30 naval inland warships, and more than 20 artillery pieces over 5 pounds.

There were more than 10,000 rounds of artillery shells of more than five pounds and more than 800 rounds of large-caliber grenades.

Basically, the city walls of Luling City were smashed into ruins, and a large number of buildings in the city, especially those near the city walls, were damaged!

More than 800 people were killed or missing, and more than 1,000 were injured. That is to say, the number of casualties was about 2,000, and the number of casualties was mainly concentrated in the front-line troops, including the two assault battalions, the fifth The assault troops of the infantry division and the artillery were also lost in the artillery battle.

As for the cavalry, not a single casualty!

And their results are brilliant!

More than 50,000 Ming troops in the city were completely wiped out, and more than 6,000 enemy troops were directly killed, countless wounded, and more than 40,000 prisoners. Only a few thousand Ming troops escaped in the chaos!

And among the more than 50,000 Ming troops that were completely wiped out, there were also 5,000 superintendents and 3,000 frontier troops!

Well, in fact, the Ming army with the most casualties is also these inspectors and frontier troops, because they are the main force in the defense of the city. Basically, many of them suffered heavy casualties in the first place, but also because of their heavy casualties. , which directly led to the collapse of the Ming army defending the city.

As for ordinary guard soldiers, the proportion of casualties is not large, because although they are large in number, they only undertake auxiliary tasks, such as the bloodiest city head fight, without the participation of guard soldiers at all. After reaching the top of the city, the first thing is to run away.

And the most heroic person who resisted was the Superintendent!

From the military uniforms of the Ming army who died in battle, there were more than 1,000 supervisors who died in battle, but there were only 5,000 supervisors who defended the city. That is to say, one-fifth of the three thousand frontier troops fought directly. If you are dead, if you count the injured people, it is possible that more than half of the casualties are possible.

This is of course related to the fact that they are the first-line troops defending the city and have endured the fiercest firepower in the battle, but their will to resist is still far more than those of the guards and the frontier troops. If they didn't resist desperately, they wouldn't have to kill and injure so many people, and they didn't see those guards still alive and well.

As for the frontier troops, their will to fight is not weak, but the weapons and equipment of these frontier troops are too poor, and they basically rely on personal bravery to fight. In their battles with the Datang Army, they are very unsuitable for the Datang Army. That kind of collective combat is sent, so the casualties are not small!

In the post-war discussion meeting, Wang Danxu made a simple ranking of these Ming troops according to the battle: the most powerful are the new army of the supervising standard, the next is the frontier army, the next is the local recruitment, and then the ordinary guards. The soldiers, the last ones are those young and strong who don't even have weapons.

But Wang Danxu said with confidence that whether it is the new army or the frontier army, all of them are the defeated generals of their Great Tang Wang Shi!

He even uttered mad words, if it was in a frontal field battle, his 5th Infantry Division could stand alone against a 50,000-person superintendent!

If the guards were soldiers, his 5th Infantry Division could hit 150,000!

Great, this is pure bragging, and overblown!

In fact, according to the reports of the frontline middle-level officers who participated in the battle, the resistance they encountered in this siege was almost all from the superintendent and frontier troops, and the superintendent was the core of them.

In other words, they actually used 30,000 main force to attack the 8,000 Ming army superintendents and the frontier army!

In this battle, more than 2,000 people were killed or injured by the Tang Army, and the 8,000 Ming troops were also killed and injured more than half!

From the battle damage ratio ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is roughly one to three!

And this ratio is completely different from previous battles. In previous battles, it was normal to have a battle loss ratio of 1 to 7 or even 1 to 10, but now, it can only be 1 to 3.

This made Li Chunjing a little worried!

If the Ming army's superintendent and the frontier army had this kind of fighting power, then after they conquered Fuzhou and took Nanchang, I am afraid that the total number of casualties of the Second Army would exceed 5,000 or even more.

And for the Second Army, which has a total strength of only 30,000 people, it can be said to be traumatic!

Of course, there is a fourth supplementary brigade in the rear that can provide recruits, but the combat effectiveness of recruits and veterans is not the same.

Therefore, after analyzing many battle reports, Li Chunjing did not have the joy of conquering Luling City, but wrote an excerpt in his own hand. The excerpt detailed the process of the Battle of Ji'an, as well as the comparison of casualties between the enemy and the enemy, and highlighted Zhang Yue's superintendent said that even though the unit was inferior to our army, it had learned some skills and was quite capable of combat.

In time, this department may be the main enemy of the future king's division.

As for those frontier troops, he doesn't care much, they are just a group of old-fashioned troops. They are already behind the times, and their **** nature can't stop guns, not to mention their **** nature is not as strong as the legendary ones, not as good as Zhang What about Governor Yue's will to fight!

This new army of inspectors created by Zhang Yue is a tough one. To destroy this new army of inspectors, even if it costs a lot, it cannot be taken lightly.

In addition to reporting the battle situation, Li Chunjing also highlighted that he requested to send more heavy howitzer troops!

In this battle, the role played by the heavy howitzer Su is too great, and it is almost irreplaceable, to the extent that any army general of the Tang Dynasty must pay attention to it.
