In order to avoid long nights and dreams, let Xu Teng continue to make trouble after fleeing back to Hetai County, Lin Ziran ordered Song You to continue the pursuit with the cavalry troops, and the three dissatisfied cavalry divisions of nearly 18,000 cavalry chased all the way, and also bit Xu Teng's palace troops many times, and defeated thousands of people under Xu Teng's command before and after.

However, Xu Teng is also very smart, he directly threw down the troops halfway, and fled back to Hetai County with only a small number of henchmen.

This frustrated Song You's desire to stop Xu Teng.

In addition, after Song You's cavalry troops pursued continuously for several days, the troops' ability to continue marching began to decline sharply, and in addition, dozens of kilometers ahead was Hetai County, in order to avoid accidents, Song You did not rush forward, but stopped about thirty kilometers away from Hetai County, waiting for the rear army.

By this time, in fact, the war between the Hetai Army and the Southern Navy around Anlong County had preliminarily ended.

The Hetai army that advanced west had about 150,000 troops, and in the end only about 10,000 people fled back to Hetai County, and most of the rest were surrendered or surrendered, a few were killed and wounded, and some escaped and disappeared.

Basically, the westward advance of the Hetai Army can be regarded as the annihilation of the entire army, especially the loss of the main force, which will also have a huge impact on the subsequent war in Hetai County.

On the other hand, on the side of the Southern Navy, the total number of casualties in several tactics before and after was only a few thousand, and the number of dead and seriously injured was less than 2,000.

The proportion of losses on both sides is so large that anyone will be stunned and directly shocked by a jaw!

After Yuan Yonghan got the news, he couldn't believe that the report he saw was true.

"This Southern Navy is so violent?" Yuan Yonghan said: "Cleaned up Xu Teng's main force at one time?" ”

It is normal for Yuan Yonghan to be surprised, although he doesn't know Nanjun and Lin Ziran, but he understands Xu Teng and Hetai Jun.

Although the Hetai army is an ordinary level in his opinion, if it weren't for the Hetai defense line, if it weren't for the other two major feudal towns in Dongdingzhou to contain him every time, he would have sent troops to the west to clean up Xu Teng.

However, even if Xu Teng's Hetai army is very ordinary, it is still 150,000 troops, and I heard that it is also equipped with rear-loading rifles on a large scale.

Really speaking, I tried to convert the existing smoothbore gun into a rear-loading rifle, and let the arsenal try to produce rear-loading rifles, but it was still influenced by Xu Teng, and now it is only equipped with more than 50,000 pieces, which is not as much as the rear-loading rifles equipped by the army under Xu Teng.

As for the rear-loading rifled gun, he also knew about it, but he couldn't equip it either, and the measures he took were similar to Xu Teng's, or he actually saw Xu Teng and Shao Bing before him engaging in front-loading rifled guns, so he thought about engaging in front-loading rifled guns.

Really speaking of the current level of equipment, in fact, the troops under Yuan Yonghan are not as good as the Hetai army, of course, the army under Yuan Yonghan is only a short time to change clothes, give them some time to complete the change of clothes soon.

If this were not the case, he would have ordered the army to attack the west to attack the Hetai defense line before.

Originally, he thought that Xu Teng and Lin Ziran would fight first, after all, it was a large-scale battle with hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides, and it was impossible to tell the winner for a while, and it was normal to fight for a few months or something.

He used the time of these few months to change his clothes first, and then took advantage of the life and death of Xu Teng and Lin Ziran to move his army westward, first take the Hetai defense line, and then go west into Anlong County and even Luohai County.

When the time comes, the entire Nanhai State will be at your fingertips.

After controlling Nanhai Prefecture, the second continent of Daheng, and then returning to Dongding Prefecture, it was a stable matter.

But what he didn't expect was that Xu Teng lost too quickly.

Mom, what about the 150,000 army, it's only been a long time, it's only four or five days before and after, and I heard the report that the actual battle time between the two sides is only one or two days, and then the 150,000 army will collapse on the whole line.

Why did Xu Teng lose so quickly?

This is what makes Yuan Yonghan wonder!

Is the Southern Navy too strong or the Hetai Army too scum?

He couldn't judge, because judging from the information he had gotten, those people in the Southern Navy, especially the core officers, were all hairy young men, and none of them had grown hair.

And the officers of the Hetai Army under Xu Teng are all professional officers who have been tested in battle for a long time.

In Yuan Yonghan's view, the quality of the officers on both sides of the two sides is completely different from the same level, as long as the officers of the Hetai Army play normally, they can play casually to the death of those officers of the Southern Navy.

As for the soldiers, there is not much difference in this estimate, the soldiers on both sides are actually veterans, although the Southern Navy is a newly rising force, but everyone knows that most of the soldiers in the Southern Navy are former soldiers from Luo'an, Luohai and other feudal towns.

It's just that this is the case, a group of young officers in the Southern Navy who have not grown up all their hair have defeated a group of professional officers as the core of the Hetai Army.

This made Yuan Yonghan incomprehensible!

Yuan Yonghan could not understand the war between the Southern Navy and the Hetai Army, and other outsiders could not understand it.

Qingyuan County in the southwest of Nanhai Prefecture, the county has a great relationship with Ningyu Prefecture in the south, and it can even be said that the current Qingyuan County Guard is supported by Ningyu Prefecture in the south.

After Qiao Quan, the county guard of Qingyuan County, learned of the war in Huaijiang County, Anlong, he also felt that something was wrong, and personally wrote a letter and sent someone to Ning Yuzhou in the south.

With the current strength of the South China Navy, it is estimated that it is inevitable to completely unify Nanhai Prefecture, and it is also a high probability that Qingyuan County will be taken at that time.

Qiao Quan didn't expect one of his Qingyuan counties to be able to block the Southern Navy, he needed the assistance of Ning Yu Prefecture in the south.

Outsiders seem incomprehensible to the outcome of the battle between the South China Navy and the Hetai Army.

However, no one in the generals of the South China Navy was surprised, not even surprised.

After all, they have experienced similar things many times, and when they beat Jian Minggang before, when they beat Shao Bing, and when they beat Du Zhikuan, they were all in a similar situation.

In their opinion, this battle is a little troublesome in the early preparations, and after the posture is set up, everything is very simple, there is no messy tactics at all, directly use artillery to blow up the enemy's defense line, and then the infantry carries out a roundabout infiltration assault, and then there is no then, and the enemy army often collapses.

It's actually quite simple to go to war!

Therefore, the Southern Navy is extremely calm about the victory of Huaijiang!

If this situation is known to outsiders, especially Xu Teng, it is estimated that he will vomit blood in anger!

But it's true!

The cavalry led by Song You stopped when the pursuit was about thirty kilometers away from Hetai County, and three days later, the army led by Lin Ziran himself also arrived here.

In addition, a large number of artillery pieces and baggage arrived by transporting them through the Nam Lo River!

After the preparations are completed, there is no doubt that the next step is to attack Hetai County!
