"How is it? Has the battlefield been cleaned? How are the casualties?" Liu Tichun asked the staff eagerly.

"After the enemy retreated, we cleaned the battlefield. After counting, our casualties should be [-]% more than the enemy's." The staff officer had a flat expression on his face.

Liu Tichun was a little unhappy when he saw it, and asked calmly, "How many people died?"

"Don't worry, Commander! Our soldiers used bayonets and stabbed them in. The enemy was either killed or seriously injured by the bayonet.

But they used single-handed swords, and most of our soldiers were relieved, with a few stitches at most and a month's rest. "The staff quickly explained.

"I'm asking how many people died?" Although Liu Tichun thought about it, he still had to maintain his authority.

"The enemy killed more than 300 people, and the wounded are not clear; our army directly killed less than [-], and injured [-]."

Liu Tichun pinched his fingers to make the final calculation, he didn't know whether these new weapons that the emperor wanted should be kept equipped.As far as the combat effect is concerned, it is very general and not outstanding.But in the long run, it seems to be better than the previous equipment.

"Send a battle report to the headquarters." Liu Tichun thought it would be better to report first.

At this time, Shang Kexi in Houjin Daying was in a pretty good mood.Because according to field observations, the Sichuan Army suffered nearly 4000 casualties, while the Tianzhu Army only suffered a little over 2000 casualties.

Although the body of the Heavenly Help Army was not recovered, the results of the battle can still be explained to the Empress Jin.After all, he was playing an offensive game.

It was impossible for Hou Jin to stop the Ninth Army that night.Their Eight Banners team arrived as scheduled.Moreover, the focus of the attack was on the bank of Fujiang River, which made Liu Tichun regret it.Because at night, the naval warships couldn't see the targets on the shore at all, they only heard the sound of killing, but no one was seen.

At dawn, Tongnan's line of defense was barely preserved, but the Ninth Army suffered nearly [-] casualties.This time, Liu Tichun was in a hurry.If the fight continues like this, he can last at most one day, and then the Ninth Army will retreat. The wounded will not be able to fight, and no matter how many people live, it will be useless.

When Liu Tichun was worried, Chen Kezeng ran into the military headquarters in a panic: "Report, I have neglected my duty, and I am here to plead guilty."

Liu Tichun hasn't reacted yet, he doesn't have time to think about some trivial matters now, and he doesn't want to talk to a small group leader at all: "Say, what's the matter?"

"We didn't keep a close eye on them last night and let those people run away." Chen Kezeng had a bitter face.

"Who?" Liu Tichun really didn't remember.

"It's the heroes who helped our regiment fight yesterday."

"I said you are a shit eater? What if the military situation is leaked?" Liu Tichun was furious now. The situation of the Ninth Army is a bit bad. If Hou Jin finds out at this time, something bad might happen.Tongnan's military situation is tantamount to leaking.

Chapter 333: Tongnan Blocking Battle IV

The military situation of the Ninth Army was indeed leaked, but it was leaked to Li Dingguo.

Chen Ke was grateful for the help of the "heroes", so he was not strictly guarded, but entertained the guests well.In addition, he fought all day during the day, so he slept soundly at night.

But those "heroes" in the rear camp took the wounded and slipped away in the middle of the night when a large number of wounded from the Sichuan Army came in and out.They directly reported the situation of the Ninth Army to Li Dingguo, and gave Li Dingguo the details of the Ninth Army, including weapons and equipment and casualties.

"Look, general, the Sichuan army uses this kind of firecracker. There is no smoke, no matchlock, and they also carry bayonets. In addition, they are equipped with a copper cannon, which is lighter than the general's cannon, and can be pushed quickly with wheels. , and can also turn the muzzle up, down, left, and right.”

Li Dingguo touched the flintlock gun, tapped the barrel with his finger, and knew that it was made of fine steel, much better than ordinary firecrackers.

"Are they all this kind of firecrackers?" Li Dingguo didn't believe that the entire Sichuan army used this kind of refined steel firecrackers, which was beyond his knowledge.

"We checked carefully, and they are all there. And there are a large number of new and unused firecrackers in their camp, and they are all like this."

"Oh my god! It's all made of fine steel, how many blacksmiths it takes!" Jin Tongwu screamed, and he was also watching with a flintlock gun.

"This should not be forged, it is directly cast." Li Dingguo used his limited cognition to think about the construction method of this new weapon.

"Impossible, the cast iron pipe is not so smooth." Jin Tongwu didn't believe it. It's not like he hasn't seen a blacksmith tinkering with things.

Li Dingguo didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he changed the subject and continued to ask: "You mean that the Sichuan army injured more people and killed fewer people?"

"Yes. There are wounded barracks all over Jiangnan. But they have professional doctors and women who bandage wounds. Our wounds are bandaged by these women. After bandaging the wounded, they are sent downstream by boat."

"Women go to the battlefield? Are they afraid of bad luck?" Jin Tongwu screamed again.The Daxi Army is most afraid of women going to the battlefield.Zhang Xianzhong regarded women as a burden on the battlefield, and never allowed women to fight.

Probably only Li Zicheng brought women into battle, and of course that Qin Liangyu was also very powerful.

Jin Tongwu's thinking is not surprising. If it is in the south of the Yangtze River, many people will dislike women going to the battlefield.It's the same even if there is a field hospital in Huai'an.

But this is Sichuan, and the white soldiers in the Sichuan army are not surprised at all when women go to the battlefield.In addition, Zeng Ying's wife can also lead troops.So there are women in the Sichuan Army Corps, which is nothing more than normal.

"It seems that if they don't have reinforcements, they still won't be able to defend Tongnan." Li Dingguo despised the Sichuan Army a little bit. It was obvious that the combat effectiveness of these people was average, but the weapons were indeed better than those used by the Western Army.

The Western Army does not have a professional field hospital, and generally injured soldiers are very likely to die, so Li Dingguo habitually does not include wounded soldiers in his future military resources.Those who survived several injuries were generally promoted, and these people fought bravely.

"General, should we retreat west? We have been guarding the Fujiang River for a day and a night." Jin Tongwu asked Li Dingguo.

"Wait and see."

Li Dingguo knew that if he withdrew yesterday, the Sichuan army would undoubtedly lose this battle.And if he withdraws now, the Sichuan army's advantage will not be obvious.He decided to wait for the situation to become clear before withdrawing, since it was just an order anyway.

……

Zhu Youjian arrived one day later than Liu Tichun, because their foot strength was not as good as that of the main fighters.

Although the people led by Zhu Youjian were not the main soldiers, they were all strong laborers, especially the engineers under Fan Laogen.Even though he is old, he used to be a soldier.

The originally precarious front stabilized after more than 1 reinforcements were added.

"How did this happen?" Zhu Youjian held the new battle report, and the black line on his forehead could be thickened into eyeliner.

In just two days and one night, 2 people were lost in battle. This is not a war, but a meat grinder!

"No, we can't fight like this anymore. If the fight continues like this, how many lives will the Sichuan army have to fill in?" Zhu Youjian couldn't bear it anymore, he had never experienced this kind of war of attrition.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Army can still hold on." Although Liu Tichun felt distressed, he couldn't back down as soon as he came up, he had to show it.

"What do you support? There are so many casualties, my heart aches."

"The main reason is that the injury was more correct. In fact, more people died in Houjin than us. If you persist, they might jump." Liu Tichun explained, anyway, more than 1 people have been added. Calculated according to the previous exchange ratio , There are not many people who can fill in the post-finance.

"Decree to Mu Tianbo: buy Panax notoginseng in large quantities, the more the better. There is also Luzhou's wine, all of them will be collected." Zhu Youjian urged.

"There are still a lot of spares, and it's too late to buy them now."

"According to your style of play, no amount is enough." Zhu Youjian was so angry that he couldn't sit still, his eyes looked directly ahead, and the sound of fighting there never stopped.

There is no Yunnan Baiyao Zhu Youjian, it has to wait until a person named Qu Huanzhang to invent it.This top-secret formula cannot be obtained by climbing the technology tree, but by the genius who invents itself.

But notoginseng in Yunnan Baiyao is a long-proven holy medicine for trauma.Coupled with the alcohol purified by Luzhou Laojiao, at least the healing effect is better than that of this era.

Fighting is not only about shopping in the front, but also testing the support in the rear.Zhu Youjian can't command a battle of this scale, but he has to do his best to provide logistics services.

"Your Majesty, Sun Kewang has sent a letter." Deng Zhirong hurried over and handed Zhu Youjian a letter.

"What did you say in the letter?" Zhu Youjian didn't answer, but lit a cigarette.

"Sun Kewang opened his mouth wide and demanded that he be named the King of Qin and the Lord of the West Mansion, respect the system of Prince Mu's Mansion and designate the mansion as Chengdu." Deng Zhirong opened the letter and browsed through it.
