“How big are our losses?” Wu Song asked.

You don’t need to think about it to know that the losses of the Liangshan rebels this time are also not small.

In particular, the First Infantry Army became the main target of the cavalry attacks of the Song Army.

In order to withstand the attack of the Song cavalry, many infantry regiments of the First Army were crippled, and in the end they almost couldn’t hold on.

“Grand Commander, our losses are not small. The First Army suffered the greatest losses, with more than 12,000 casualties in the whole army. After that, the Fourth Army lost more than 10,000 men in Jiyin City and blocking the retreat of the Song army. The losses of the Fifth and Tenth Armies were smaller, five thousand and six thousand men, respectively. The First Cavalry Army lost more than 3,000 men in battle! “Gongsun Sheng reported the battle losses of all armies one by one.

Although it had long been expected that the losses of the Liangshan rebels would be relatively large.

But when these numbers came out one by one, Wu Song’s heart seemed to be dripping blood.

Especially the First Infantry Corps, which lost almost five entire infantry regiments! This is the most elite unit of the Liangshan Rebels!

In this battle, the total casualties of the Liangshan rebels reached more than 37,000.

You know, the Liangshan rebels invested a total of only 155,000 troops in this battle.

Such casualties have exceeded one-fifth.

“All fallen soldiers, all thick burial! The pensions of their families must also be arranged. In addition, local governments must treat them favorably! Wusong ordered.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Gongsun Sheng replied.

“Remember, no one is allowed to touch the pensions of these casualties. If I know, no matter who is involved, none of them will be spared! Wu Song did not hide his murderous intentions.

The officialdom of the entire Great Song Dynasty has always been dark. Corrupt officials are everywhere.

Even in the area controlled by the Liangshan rebels, under the deterrence of powerful military forces, those officials did not dare to be so arrogant. However, those small actions are also not exempt.

What Wu Song can do is to suppress these guys as much as possible. After overthrowing the Zhao dynasty and even lifting the threat of foreign tribes in the north, he specially pulled out his hand to political them.

Wusong knew that such a dynasty would be hopeless if the rulers were not clear enough.

The historical Great Song Dynasty, although very wealthy. However, the people are still living in poverty. In foreign wars, they have repeatedly lost battles.

Wu Song does not want his country to become like the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

“Yes, Grand Commander, I’ll keep an eye on it. If such a thing really happens, I will kill them alive without your hands! “Gongsun Sheng is also murderous.

The other generals and officers were moved after listening to Wu Song’s words.

It is precisely because of leaders like Wusong that they will fight to the death.

“Our army is still too small, and this time we captured so many Song troops. Some of them can be singled out to join our troops. Recruit some more young and strong and form more new troops. After all, next we must not only overthrow the Great Song Dynasty, but also prepare to deal with the Liao and Western Xia people. Wusong said.

“Yes, Grand Commander!” The generals all nodded.

Many people’s eyes even became hot. In particular, those who feel qualified for promotion to become the chief officers of the newly formed force are particularly desperate.

“Form the third cavalry army, with the Huarong brothers as the commander!” Wusong said.

“Yes, Grand Commander!” Hua Rong replied.

“Form the fourth cavalry army, with the Shi Jin brothers as the commander!”

“Yes, Grand Commander!” Shi Jin was also happy.

“Form the 16th Infantry Corps, with the Yanshun brothers as the commander!”

“Yes, Grand Commander!” Yan Shun quickly replied that he was finally in charge of an army alone.

Of course, the prerequisite is to be loyal to Wusong. Otherwise, even if you become a military commander, you will definitely not be able to do it for long.

“Form the 17th Infantry Corps, with the Xu Ning brothers as the commander!”

“Yes, Grand Commander!”

“Form the eighteenth infantry corps, with the Suo Chao brothers as the commander!”

“Yes, Grand Commander!”

One by one, the new military commanders couldn’t help but smile.

Although there are already many commanders of the Liangshan Rebel Army, being able to become a military commander is definitely the topmost general of the Liangshan Rebel Army.

After this battle, the Liangshan rebels formed two cavalry corps and three infantry corps at one time, bringing the total strength of the Liangshan rebels to 22 corps and 660,000 people.

Of course, most of the troops are just new units. Then you have to recruit people and train them.

If we want to really form combat effectiveness, I am afraid that we will have to wait until this winter. It will even be possible to enter the battlefield next year.

However, it is foreseeable that by next year, after these newly formed troops form combat effectiveness, the strength of the Liangshan rebels will be even stronger. Even if it occupies all the territory of the entire Great Song Dynasty, there should not be much of a problem.

“Great Commander, now that the Song army has suffered a crushing defeat, Bianjing is undoubtedly empty in strength. It is a good opportunity for us to attack Bianjing! Lin Chong said.

“Yes, Grand Commander. According to the information we have obtained, there is only one newly formed Dragon Guard Army in Bianjing City, and if we launch an attack, the imperial court will definitely not be able to resist it. In this way, we can easily take Bianjing City. Zhu Wu also suggested.

Wu Song nodded: “This is indeed a rare opportunity. The 1st Cavalry Corps, the 5th and 10th Corps of Infantry, attacked Bianjing. The 1st and 4th Corps of the Infantry, rest first, replenish the lost forces and then launch an offensive! Wusong ordered.

“Yes, Grand Commander!” Lin Chong, Yang Xiong, Zhang Qing and other generals answered one after another.

The next day, more than 20,000 Liangshan cavalry and nearly 50,000 infantry set out from Najiyin City to attack Bianjing.

The rest of the troops began to rest and replenish their losses.

At the same time, new forces are rapidly being formed.

Everyone hopes to complete the formation as soon as possible, form combat effectiveness, and put into battle early to get more credit.

At the same time, the Third Army of Liangshan Infantry defeated the Tianwu Army head-on at Songcheng and attacked Bianjing under the leadership of Lu Zhishen.

In the battle between Wanqiu and the Liangshan Infantry Seventh Army, the Japanese army, seeing heavy losses but unable to achieve victory, coupled with the Tianwu army suffered another defeat, for fear of being besieged, hurriedly retreated to Bianjing. This allowed the Liangshan Infantry Seventh Army to also ban the army against Bianjing.
