Chapter 475: Scramble
"Today it has been confirmed that there are 1,677 true Tartars among the soldiers of the Jin Army after the beheading.
Among them, it is preliminarily estimated that there are about 100 people in Bayala, 677 people in the Eight Banners and more than 900 in the Eight Banners.
In addition, there are two people with white flags, two people with white flags, five people from Niu Lu, two people with red flags, and the others are all eight banners.
The above is the number of people who killed the Eight Banner Tartars, in addition to the slaughtered Wuzhen Chaoha and the Tianyou Army, a total of 890 people.
Most of them were Uzhen Chaoha's clothed soldiers, and some of them were killed by the Houjin Tartar cavalry who were responsible for supervising the battle in the rear, or they were trampled to death by themselves. ”
Hearing this, everyone in the military tent let out a low burst of laughter.
This Wuzhen Chaoha is really a joke, and their collapse speed is much faster than the few Ming armies they have fought before.
Every officer here who has seen Uzhen Chaoha fight can clearly say that Uzhen Chaoha does not know how the muskets should be arrayed and fought.
It was just that after a few rounds of 40mm caliber infantry artillery bombardment, it was a mess.
In the whispered conversation, an officer suggested that from the sound of gunfire everywhere at that time, Wuzhen Chaoha should have been shot by all the personnel, and the entire array was filled with gunsmoke.
In that kind of situation where the vision is not clear, the already chaotic Wuzhen Chaoha is even more chaotic. Under the artillery fire of a special platoon and four infantry guns, they collapsed at breakneck speed.
The Tianyou Army led by Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng is more experienced than them, so their performance is much better.
But fundamentally speaking, these two traitor troops did not show too strong combat strength, let alone achieve the purpose of Huang Taiji in establishing these two troops.
Everyone was talking about it, thinking that Huang Taiji also overestimated the combat effectiveness of the clothed soldiers, and it seemed that in his opinion, there was no difference between musketeers and musketeers.
However, in fact, the gap between the combat units in the Wuzhenchao Hahua Army, which is mixed with professional soldiers and a part of the conscripts, is too great.
Although in Chen Xin's original history before the crossing, when Kangxi Ping Wu Sangui, there was a relatively brave clothed soldier.
But at that time, the Qing army had already entered the customs and occupied a lot of wealth, and these Baoyi people collected from the families of various princes and nobles in Beijing also shared a lot of benefits, and their status in the capital was much higher than that of ordinary Han people.
Therefore, at that time, the clothed soldiers were fighting for their own interests, and the newly appointed generals of the Han Army deliberately strengthened military discipline, so they naturally had a certain combat effectiveness for multiple reasons.
But this time is completely different, the current clothed soldiers in Wuzhen Chaoha are just a group of slaves who have just been pulled out of the ground.
At the same time, they are also the group of people in Liaodong who have the least spirit of resistance in the Later Jin-controlled Liaodong region, and they have long been accustomed to being submissive in decades of post-Jin tyranny and oppression.
Not only did they not have wealth, but they couldn't even wear all the clothes and couldn't eat enough to eat.
You must know that in Houjin, except for the gunners who surrendered in the Battle of Shenyang earlier and shelled the Ming Sichuan Army and Zhejiang soldiers during the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, they have their own coats and aha to help farm, and the other Wuzhen Chaoha have to farm by themselves.
Even, before planting their own land, they have to plant it for their masters.
After a busy year's hard work, there is basically not much leisure time to train combat ability, so their combat skills, that is, they can barely reload ammunition and fire, and they have no experience in battle at all.
and Shi Tingzhu, who succeeded Tong Yangxing as the supreme commander of Wuzhen Chaoha, is also a soft bone.
In the original history, during the Songjin War between Ming and Jin, it was this guy, and several other people, who were punished for their ineffective fighting.
When facing the Huaxia army, Shi Tingzhu was even more unusable, and after the shelling at the end of the Dalinghe Battle last year, he himself had already lost his fear.
This time, when Houjin was fighting with his own side, the clothed soldiers in the front had just broken down, and Bayala, who was in charge of supervising the formation, immediately rushed up to cut down the deserters, but he didn't care about Shi Tingzhu for a while, so he fled with his family.
Just this kind of general, let them come and fight against professional soldiers like the Huaxia Army who have to train intensively every day, and the result can be known just by thinking about it.
While everyone was quietly discussing, the military judge did not stop the sound of confirmation. "In this battle, after our army captured a total of 213 Jin Zhen Tartars, 7 Jurchens, the so-called fish skin Tartars, and 1,473 people, the report was completed."
The military judge sat back in his seat.
Fu Yan, who was presiding over the meeting, smiled and nodded to him, and then called the quartermaster's name again.
The quartermaster stood up and said without a script: "Today, our army has captured a total of seven pairs of Shanwen armor, 117 pairs of Bayala all-iron heavy armor, 924 pairs of ordinary armor, 599 pairs of chain mail, and 833 pairs of cotton armor.
The captured cold weapons were not counted because they were not used, while the other weapons that could equip the militia units and support other auxiliary forces included 955 bird guns.
Others, a total of three Jiala flags, seven Niulu flags.
The most valuable thing is that our army captured 1,213 war horses, and all of them were saddled, and they did not need to be equipped separately, they were ready to use. ”
The officers present in the tent who attended the meeting were all excited at this time, and the gold and white flags were inlaid with gold, and this time under the leadership of Duoduo, more than 3,500 people came, and this time they lost nearly half.
Not counting the blue flag of Amin, who was led astray by Chen Xin and established himself in Korea, this was the first time that the Huaxia Army had severely damaged the Houjin Tartars of a single banner after a frontal battle, which was a great deterrent to the slave owners of the Tartars.
And this time, the capture of the Huaxia Army was also very rich.
Although everyone doesn't look down on the muskets, armor, and cold weapons of Houjin, these things still have a certain effect on the domestic militia organizations.
Of course, the biggest gain is the more than 1,000 war horses captured, which is the most exciting for everyone.
In particular, the commanders of the mounted infantry battalion and the other two infantry battalions, after this capture, can not only make up for the battle damage of the cavalry battalion, but should be able to equip another infantry battalion with war horses and reorganize the infantry into mounted infantry.
The two infantry battalion commanders glanced at each other, and a strong fighting spirit emerged in their eyes.
