Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Chapter 388 The line of defense is impregnable

The Royal Third Division recaptured Gu County with a record of more than 1,500 casualties, more than 3,500 enemy kills, and more than 4,000 prisoners.

The reason for such heavy casualties was that, in addition to the fact that all the soldiers of the Third Royal Division were new recruits on the battlefield for the first time, the biggest casualties were caused by street fighting, between soldiers and the defeated Guan Ning Army in close combat.

The Independent 1st Division of the National Defense Forces and the Baigan Army, which guarded both wings, killed and wounded nearly 10,000 Guan Ning cavalry. All they paid was the casualties of nearly 1,000 soldiers, and the results were brilliant.

In three battles, Wu Sangui won one and lost two, suffering heavy casualties. More than half of the 150,000 troops that left the border had been lost in battle. Seeing that the morale of the entire army was low, Wu Sangui could only lead his army to retreat.

Qin Liangyu led the three armies to advance slowly and steadily, not giving Wu Sangui a chance to make a sneak attack.

At the Yutian defense line, Azige suffered heavy losses due to unfavorable attacks. He also suffered the loss of strong generals such as Obai and Agutai, which affected morale. He had to suspend the attack and wait for the arrival of Dorgun's main army.

The blue side did not order an attack, but ordered all troops to hold their positions and wait for Qin Liangyu to lead his troops to arrive to rendezvous, and then decide on the opportunity.

When the good news from the two places came back to the capital, the court was excited and the soldiers and civilians rejoiced. Young men from all over the country responded to the call and enthusiastically signed up to join the army to protect their homes and country and fight against the invading Qing army.

Recruit divisions were formed one after another and received the most basic military training, which exhausted all the military instructors.

There was no way, there were too few talents. In order to appease all the instructors, Zhu Youjian promoted them and rewarded them with free money. All the instructors were as excited as if they had been given blood. Unless they collapsed from exhaustion, they would grit their teeth and hold on.

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. This is really not a lie.

After discussion, Zhu Youjian organized the Guangxi Wolf Army Division, the Sichuan Army Division, and the Royal Second Division under the command of Lan Fang as the first battle group, and the Baigan Army, the National Defense Forces Independent First Division, and the Royal Third Division under the command of Qin Liangyu as the second battle group. Group, the 1st Royal Division, the 4th Royal Division and the 1st and 2nd Division of the National Defense Force commanded by Xu Yu were organized into the third battle group.

Taking into account the restlessness of the Donglin Party and the powerful clans, Xu Yu's third battle group is still stationed in the capital to prevent unexpected events.

Although the 1st and 2nd battle groups won the battle, they also suffered battle losses and consumed a lot of ammunition. They both need to be replenished, especially the Guangxi Wolf Soldier Division and the Royal Second Division. The former is still short of two brigades and the latter is short of one brigade. , this time, he replenished enough in one go.

The Royal Third Division regained Gu County with a record of more than 1,500 casualties, more than 3,500 enemy kills, and more than 4,000 prisoners.
