The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 491

The battle was over, the lieutenant of the Firearms Battalion issued two orders, one was to clean up the battlefield, and the other was to count the casualties on both sides.

Soon, the number of casualties on both sides was counted and sent to the captain of the firearms battalion.

Looking at the statistical list of casualties on both sides in his hand, the lieutenant of the Firearms Battalion looked solemn.

displayed on the list.In this battle, the firearms troops of the Qin Army killed 346 people, seriously injured 79 people, and slightly injured 149 people.

The casualties of the entire Qin Army Firearms Battalion have exceeded 600.

This is almost the most casualty of the Qin Army Firearms Troop since its establishment. Even in all previous battles, including the extermination of Japanese pirates, and a series of battles with the Dashun Army on the way south, all the casualties of the Qin Army Firearms Troop It seems that there are not as many casualties in today's battle.

The casualty ratio has exceeded 1/20. Such a casualty ratio is basically very high in all the battles after the Qin army entered the pass.

So looking at the list in front of them, the expressions on the faces of the captain of the Firearms Battalion and the generals under him were extremely ugly.

Everyone gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, wishing to kill all the British guys who wanted to fish in troubled waters in order to relieve their hatred.

Although the list shows the British this time.The total number of casualties was more than 100, of which more than 600 were killed and more than 500 were injured. The total number of casualties was twice that of the Qin army.

If it is placed in other troops, this kind of battle loss ratio is obviously a big victory.

But among the Qin army, there was no joy of victory at all, but a deep shame.

For the elite troops of the real lineage of the Qin army, the ratio of the enemy's battle damage to its own is 2:1, which is a very humiliating figure.

According to the results of previous battles, the enemy had to pay for the five to six hundred casualties of the Qin army.Ten times or even twenty times the casualties is barely considered a bargain.

Seeing the resentful expressions of the commanders in front of him, although the lieutenant of the Firearms Battalion felt very uncomfortable, he still took a deep breath and comforted everyone: "Although our army suffered a lot of casualties in this battle, we also gained a lot. After all, in terms of weapons, our enemy is not as good as us in terms of artillery, and the muskets are evenly matched with us. Therefore, our advantage in weapons has been greatly offset to achieve such a result. It is not too bad, and the most important thing is Yes, we can get detailed information about the British army from the mouths of these prisoners, and I think this is the answer that General Di really wants to hear."

The commanders also know that what the captain said is very reasonable, but for them who regard honor as their life, they still cannot accept this result calmly.

Each of them secretly swears in their hearts that they must wipe out this British army in the future to repay today's humiliation.

The troops responsible for cleaning the battlefield had gathered together the remains of all the soldiers killed in battle on both sides, including the bandits under Qiao Yanwang Jianghu who died in the fight against the British before.

Because it was midsummer, these corpses had to be disposed of quickly and on the spot.

The remains of all the soldiers of the Qin Army who died in battle were buried on the hillside behind Shangwang Village. More than 300 tombstones made of wood are densely erected on the hillside, just like these soldiers continued to block the enemy on the hillside with their heroic posture when they were alive.

The British soldiers who died were not treated so well.

They were dug a big pit, and then gathered together, in a raging fire, they were reduced to ashes, and they became the eternal comrades who have me in you and you in me.

As the big pit was finally buried, the lives of these British people, like the wind blowing a leaf, came and went silently.Completely dissipated in this foreign land.

As for the bandits who died in battle, they were all respected and buried.

Qiao Yan Wang Jianghu, who had already awakened, was treated by the military doctor of Qin Jun who accompanied the army.

His left arm was wrapped in a white bandage and hung in front of his chest. With the five brothers who survived the catastrophe, he kowtowed three times to the tombstones of all the dead brothers.

After three kowtows, this mighty nine-foot-tall man was already in tears.

All the surviving brothers behind him were also tearful.

Life is impermanent, half a day ago, they were still a group of hundreds of living brothers who could talk, laugh, tell nasty jokes and love to brag, but now they have become a cold corpse lying under the tomb. How can a dead body not make people feel sad and mourning?
The lieutenant of the Firearms Battalion led a group of commanders.Walking slowly behind Qiaoyan Wang Jianghu, he said solemnly: "Your brothers will not die in vain. I will truthfully report the deeds of you and your brothers to General Di. If it were not for you and Your brothers are desperately resisting, and this British army is very likely to cause very serious consequences. Our Qin army owes you a great favor. If you are willing to join the army, I will definitely recommend it to the general. If you are not willing, the regent His Royal Highness will also give you an extremely generous reward to ensure that you and your brothers can spend the rest of your life in peace and wealth."

After finishing speaking, the captain pulled out the pistol assigned to him from his waist and raised it suddenly, with the muzzle pointing up, and shouted: "Send Paoze!"

After one gunshot, there were thousands of gunshots. All the soldiers of the Qin Army in the Huoqi Battalion raised their rifles and fired at the sky. They used this tragic way to bid farewell to the heroic souls who died in battle.

After everything was over, in order to prevent the British from repeating their old tricks, the lieutenant of the Firearms Battalion left two teams of thousands in place, and then led the main force to escort the British prisoners and captured guns and ammunition back to the Qin Army camp.

At this time, Jinling City was under the fierce artillery fire of the Qin army, and the three walls of the city had become crumbling, and they were in danger of being conquered at any time.

After the Qin army showed its real fangs, the morale of the victorious army in Jinling City was on the verge of collapse.

If it wasn't for the brutal suppression by guard Luo Kedi with bloody means, the Dashun army in the city would have already collapsed and surrendered.

Finally, with an earth-shattering bang, the huge west gate of Jinling City was torn apart by the extremely violent explosion, and finally collapsed.

The cavalry of the Qin Army who had already been eyeing it.Roaring his horse, he rushed into the city, and behind him was a steady stream of Qin troops, pouring in from the city gate.

Originally, the Dashun Army thought they could hold on to Jinling City for at least half a month, or even longer, but at this moment they could declare their fall.To be exact, it should be declared recovery.
