Even if Shao Bing couldn't understand why he was defeated, and it was a fiasco with no power to resist, but this still couldn't change the fact that he was defeated.

On September 16, the 51st year of Yongchang, Shao Bingnan fled to Qiu Songcheng, which was 30 kilometers away from Luohai City, but was damaged by the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Luo'an Army and blocked the way.

At noon that day, Shao Bing led 3,000 remnants of his army to try to move south on foot, but was intercepted by the Luo'an 1st Cavalry Brigade, but failed.

In the evening of the same afternoon, Shao Bing once again commanded to divide into two different directions to try to break through, but was still intercepted by the First Cavalry Brigade and the breakthrough failed.

The next day, the first division of the Luo An Army arrived one after another, and launched an attack in the afternoon, Shao Bingyan ordered the troops to resist stubbornly, but so Shao Bing's troops were already demoralized, and the battle was only half an hour, and many surrenders and routs had already occurred.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Shao Bing, under the pressure of his generals, ordered the whole army to surrender!

By the time Lin Ziran arrived in Qiu Songcheng, the banner of Luo An's army was already flying here.

"This time it did a good job, a hundred miles of pursuit, clean and neat, without giving the enemy the slightest chance to resist!" Lin Ziran did not skimp on his praise at all, and as soon as he arrived in Qiu Songcheng, he personally promoted and rewarded the first cavalry brigade, the first division and other pursuing meritorious soldiers.

After this commendation, it is natural to discuss the next step.

"Our next step is to march into Luohai City, completely destroy the remnants of the enemy army, and take control of Luohai City!"

"Considering that there are not too many formed enemy troops in Luohai City, the task of entering and controlling Luohai City does not require the use of too many main forces, our next main threat is in the east, and there are also some Shao Bing's old troops on the west side!"

On a large military map, Wu Guanlin explained the next battle plan to Lin Ziran and other senior generals: "In the west, there are about 5,000 people from Shao Bing's old army, led by Tan Yonggen, because the distance is far and the number of enemy troops is small, so the threat is not too great, and it is planned to advance eastward with a brigade of troops to resist the possible attack of the brigade, and at the same time strive to persuade the division to surrender!" ”

"The bigger threat is in the east, before in order to resist the threat of Hetai County, the Luo Navy assisted in the defense of Anlong County, and stationed more than 50,000 troops in Anlong County, after we went south, Shao Bing transferred more than 30,000 troops from this area to defend, and has now arrived in the area on the east bank of the Luo River, about 40 kilometers away from Luohai City, our army's second mixed brigade on the east bank is under great pressure, and has now built fortifications on the spot in the area of Linyang County."

"We suggest that with the cooperation of the naval forces, the main force should cross the Luo River to annihilate the department, of course, while fighting, persuade to surrender, if the other party can take the initiative to surrender or surrender, it will save us a lot of effort!"

"But on the whole, our staff office still maintains great optimism!"

"Luohai County is already in our bag, and from now on, Luohai Luo'an, the two largest counties in Nanhai Prefecture, will be connected to lay the foundation for the subsequent unification of Nanhai Prefecture!"

Listening to Wu Guanlin's confident words from the General Staff Office, Lin Ziran couldn't help but smile!

That's a good mood!

The two counties of Luohai and Luo'an can only be said to be average in terms of single round area, but their population, grain production, minerals, and industry and commerce occupy a very high proportion in the entire Nanhai Prefecture.

Especially for very important industries, the combined industrial capacity of these two counties directly accounts for more than 80% of the entire Nanhai Prefecture.

What do these industries represent?

In fact, it is still secondary to say that money is not money, and the most important thing is the defense manufacturing industry represented by industry.

Luo'an Arsenal, Fuyuan Ordnance Factory, Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, Luohai Shipyard, these four major manufacturers and many affiliated branches and suppliers have formed a complete national defense industry chain.

And that's something that no other county has!

Even if you look at the whole of Daheng, it is relatively rare for such a regional industrialization to be completed.

Its production capacity is quite good.

When it comes to building warships, Luohai Shipyard is capable of building ironclad ships of several thousand tons.

Speaking of making guns and cannons, Fuyuan Ordnance Factory and Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, even if you look at the entire Daheng, they are all first-class arsenals, with huge production capacity and machines.

The Fuyuan Ordnance Factory, which was established under the auspices of Duke Meng, could supply 200,000 troops in the entire Nanhai Prefecture in the early years, and later the Nanzhou Bank used the financial balance to leverage the entire Nanhai Prefecture during the period, and almost supplied the muskets of all the feudal towns and even bandits in the nine counties of the state.

In the last two decades, the Fuyuan musket has been synonymous with muskets in Nanhai Prefecture.

And the history is longer, the era of Daheng unification is the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau of the Daheng Official Camp Arsenal, which was one of the main arsenals of Daheng during the Hengao War, and provided at least a quarter of the artillery of Daheng's millions of troops in the war, including field guns and naval guns and siege artillery.

During the period of Duke Meng and the later chaotic wars, it was also under the leadership of the Nanzhou Bank to supply artillery to various feudal towns in Nanhai Prefecture.

Otherwise, with only the small strength of the Luo Navy itself, how could it afford to raise such a huge two arsenals.

In contrast, the Roan Arsenal is much smaller.

So in the next operation, Lin Ziran strictly ordered the troops who were preparing to enter the city, and left everything else alone, and first controlled the two arsenals and Luohai Bank.

After a brief meeting, all units of the Luo'an Army launched their own operations, and the main forces such as the 7th Brigade and the Garrison Regiment under the 2nd and 4th Divisions continued to move south to Luohai City, striving to control Luohai City as quickly as possible, and then completely block the mouth of the Luo River.

At the same time the 1st Division. The 1st Cavalry Brigade, the core and main force, crossed the river directly with the cooperation of the navy and joined the 2nd Mixed Brigade, and the strength of the two units could reach more than 20,000 after the merger, and with the cooperation of the navy, there would be no problem in protecting themselves, and it would also be able to effectively curb the possible actions of the Luo Navy on the east bank of the Luo River.

On the western flank, the threat was relatively small, so the 4th Division (owed to the 7th Brigade) was transferred to the east and the 2nd Cavalry Brigade was transferred.

The rest of the newly organized 4th Mixed Brigade, 6th Division, and 7th Division will continue to be reorganized on the spot, and at the same time shoulder the task of garrisoning the locality.

The 5th and 3rd Divisions that remained in Luo'an continued to garrison the northwestern and northern defense lines of Luo'an to prevent changes in Guang'an County and Hexi County.

After the various units began to act, Lin Ziran continued to lead the main forces such as the Second Division south to Luohai City.

It's just that the expected battle did not occur, but there was a grand occasion of the defenders in the city enthusiastically surrendering.

That scene shocked Lin Ziran when he saw it!

I've seen Toucheng, but I've never seen Toucheng so neat and neat, so neat!
