Chapter 124 Summary After the War
  After a brief lunch, Lin Feng summoned Fang Dashan, Wang Qin, Gao Rui, Song Jilie and others to summarize the situation of the battle against You Banner.

Lin Feng naturally sat at the top, Wu Yunna sat right next to him, and the others sat on both sides.

After Lin Feng took a tactical sip of tea, he spoke first: "Tell me, what was the result?"

Gurui first stood up and reported: "County Lord, here in Qiangbao, we killed and injured more than 200 people in the Mongolian Right Banner, and captured about 350 people, of which 300 were Han handymen and about 50 Mongolians.

Our civilian troops and escorts who defended the city suffered 150 casualties, including about 40 killed in action, mainly while fighting on the fort wall. "

"The fortress wall was almost breached at that time, and heavy casualties were inevitable. Where is Wang Qin and your cavalry?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"The cavalry team, together with the soldiers and horses of the Left Banner brought by the princess, killed and wounded more than 300 cavalrymen of the Right Banner, and captured nearly a hundred people, all Mongolians. They captured more than 500 horses and a large number of weapons.

Since our cavalry had been chasing the enemy, there were relatively few casualties. In total, more than 40 people were injured and more than a dozen were killed. Zuo Banner's cavalry also suffered seventy or eighty casualties. ” Wang Qinhui reported.

"So in this battle, we annihilated and captured nearly a thousand enemies. Of course, there were 350 Han servants among them. We suffered nearly casualties. It was considered a great victory." Lin Feng compiled the data in his mind and said .

"Brother Lin, this battle basically wiped out the main force of the Right Banner. They only had a thousand cavalry in total, and they lost more than 600 this time. They will no longer be able to threaten our Left Banner in the future. If Eqige knew about it, I wonder how happy I will be." Wu Yunna happily interjected.

"Okay, then you Zuoqi can safely collect wool and sheepskin goods for us. In the future, if you engage in grassland trade, you will definitely be able to live a good life." Lin Feng decided to use trade to tie Zuoqi and control their economy. Come and quietly control this Mongolian tribe.

"Okay, okay!" Wu Yunna obviously didn't know Lin Feng's deeper intentions.

Lin Feng was very satisfied that Wu Yunna didn't think so much. Anyway, as long as Zuo Qi could truly rely on him, he would definitely not treat them badly.

"Let me talk about the aftermath of the war first. One is our casualties. The injured must be treated with all our strength. Those who died in the battle will be cremated and the ashes will be taken back. Subsequent pensions will be carried out as usual. This matter will be taken care of by Dashan." Lin Feng arranged. .

"Understood!" Fang Dashan responded.

"The second is the disposal of the captives. First, screen the 300 Han servants who were captured to eliminate those with serious evil and hidden dangers. The others will be trained and added to the escort and cavalry teams. Those who are suitable for joining the army will be brought to the Fudong compound. Gao Rui will be responsible for this matter."

"Yes!" Gurui said.

"In addition, Wu Yunna, you can take the more than 150 captured Mongolian cavalry back. They are all from the same tribe, so it's easier to digest. Then choose a few dozen of the Zuoqi cavalry you brought with you to give to Hongtu to help him get a full army. Hundreds of people." Lin Feng continued.

"Okay, our number has increased, Eqi Ge won't say anything." Although Wu Yunna didn't have any scheming, simple arithmetic will always work out, knowing that Zuo Qi made a profit with this wave of substitutions.

Mainly because they had just fought against You Banner, and Lin Feng was afraid of problems if he left so many Mongolian prisoners behind. It is safer to fight back with Zuo Qi. The smaller the number, the smaller the number. If there are too many, it will be difficult to control in the future.

"By the way, where are the supplies seized? Are there any?" Lin Feng remembered and asked.

"There are not many supplies. The Mongols usually only bring a little dry food when they go on an expedition, and the money they carry with them is less than a thousand taels." Song Jilie replied. "Hey, you are so poor." Lin Feng felt depressed for a while. He must have lost this battle, and it was a big loss.

Not counting Zuo Banner's casualties, there were fifty or sixty people killed on his side alone, and they received a pension of 3000 taels. There are also rewards for expressing condolences to injured people and fighting wars, which add up to at least three to four thousand taels.

Coupled with the consumption of ammunition and food, ten thousand taels would be lost in this battle. Only less than one thousand taels were seized, which must be a big loss.

But this is normal. Fighting is inherently draining. If every war they fought could make money, those countries that resorted to militarism would have done so long ago.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had unparalleled martial arts and was so powerful that he defeated the Huns and fled. However, in the end, it was not because of the excessive use of foreign troops that the Han Empire's finances were exhausted, and its national strength began to decline.

Fortunately, more than 500 war horses were captured in this battle. Although they will not be sold, they are a large amount of wealth and can effectively strengthen Lin Feng's power.

After taking stock of the results of the battle and arranging the aftermath, Lin Feng felt that he needed to summarize the battle process in order to find out the gains and losses.

So Lin Feng continued: "In general, we fought well in this battle and achieved a great victory, but there must have been a lot of mistakes in the battle process. We also need to summarize them carefully to avoid making the same mistake again next time. Everyone, let's talk about it."

"The county magistrate is right. Only when we are not arrogant in victory and discouraged in defeat can we continue to make progress. Let me first say that this time the cavalry pursuit was too hasty. If we hadn't encountered the county magistrate's Zuo Banner troops, we might have had to He was killed by You Ban." Wang Qin was the first to reflect.

"Our defensive actions to support the fort wall were also a little slow, and we were almost captured by the people from the right banner." Fang Dashan continued.

"We also made a lot of mistakes in the defense of the fortress this time. One was that we knew that the Mongolian caravan coming in was suspicious, but we did not take decisive action. Their sabotage operation was almost successful at night, if the county magistrate hadn't personally led people to stop it. For them, the consequences are disastrous.

The other was that the defense was too overwhelming. Knowing that there were many people in the right banner, the attack on the city might be fierce, but they did not increase the manpower in advance, and they almost broke through the fortress wall. "Gorui also concluded.

"Our gun team is too nervous. When we rush to the city wall, we can fire 2-3 shots during normal training. In the morning, we usually only fire one shot, which did not cause too many casualties to the enemy.

Therefore, training in peacetime is still different from actually going to the battlefield. Only by fighting more battles can the capabilities of the escort team be improved. "Song Jilie also reviewed.

"Everyone's opinions are very good. This battle has indeed exposed many problems. To sum up, we did not consider the problem carefully and did not fully estimate the enemy's strength.

Of course, this responsibility mainly lies with me. I did not expect these situations before the war. Especially for suspicious caravans, they only said to strengthen surveillance, but did not consider that the war was imminent and that no hidden dangers could be left, only those who were killed by mistake.

However, there is a saying that you learn to fight while fighting. None of us are full-time generals. It is normal to make mistakes of one kind or another. As long as we continue to summarize, we can make continuous progress. " Lin Feng concluded in the end and told Gurry to summarize the opinions expressed by everyone and keep them for future reference.
