It's dawn.

Xiping Fort was completely quiet, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion began to clean up the battlefield.

The brutal battle of one day and one night, for the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who have experienced a hundred battles, is indeed nothing, the battle of attacking Xiping Fort was hearty, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers was greatly encouraged, and no one would have thought that in one day and one night, more than 60,000 Houjin Tartars could be completely wiped out, and this kind of huge victory was something that the soldiers had never experienced.

Sleepless all night, Su Tiancheng's spirit is still very good, from the battle of Xiping Fort, he saw the dawn of complete victory, Jiangning Battalion has been able to skillfully use hot weapons, in the future battles, hot weapons will play a huge role, unexpected decisive role.

The attack on Xiping Fort is a classic of winning with hot weapons, and this is probably the first time in thousands of years that a battle has been won with hot weapons, and through the battle of Xiping Fort, Su Tiancheng has learned a lot of experience from it.

The bombardment of artillery, it can be said that it completely destroyed the sufficient preparation of the Houjin Tartars, the trenches, moats and city walls, under the bombardment of hundreds of artillery, had no effect at all, as for the battle after entering the city, it was still the hot weapons that played a major role, especially in the attack launched at night, the bombardment of the Fran machine gun and the tiger squat artillery, so that the Houjin Tartar could not resist at all, and then He Renlong led the army to launch a general attack, which can be regarded as cleaning the battlefield.

The brutal fighting, ordinary people would be moved, countless corpses were piled up in Xiping Fort, but Su Tiancheng was unmoved, he had seen too many such scenes.

Next, Su Tiancheng had to make a good deployment, leaving a part of the soldiers to garrison Xiping Fort, and the rest of the army marched towards Ningyuan City. It is necessary to reach Quang Ninh City as quickly as possible to prevent the Houjin Tartars stationed in Quang Ninh from escaping.

Surrounded by Qu Qingze, He Renlong and others, Su Tiancheng walked out of the house.

Ma Guangyuan, the owner of the Zhenghuang Banner, Shi Tingzhu, the owner of the Yellow Banner, and Ba Yan, the owner of the Red Banner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, were all killed in the battle, and they would rather die than surrender, and they had no chance to surrender.

The corpses of three people. It was placed in the clearing, separated from the rest of the corpses.

If the bodies of these three people were transported to the capital, it would be a great credit, no matter what, these three people were the banner owners of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, but Su Tiancheng didn't expect these things, the two sides on the battlefield were opponents, and after the battle, the soldiers should respect each other. Especially against opponents who would rather die than give in.

Su Tiancheng ordered that the corpses of Ma Guangyuan, Shi Tingzhu and Bayan be buried in good life, including the corpses of many Houjin Tartars who died in battle, and all of them should be buried, don't let them be violent corpses in the wilderness, the difference is also obvious, Ma Guangyuan and others are buried alone. The rest were buried together.

In the battle of Xipingbao, Houjin Tatar suffered a heavy loss. The Zhenghuang Banner, the Yellow Banner and the Red Banner of the Han Eight Banners all disappeared, including the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Eight Banners in the Battle of Gaizhou, all of which disappeared from the army sequence of the Later Jin, and next, Su Tiancheng had to lead the army. Besieging the Houjin Tartars stationed in Guangning, if they can exterminate the Houjin Tartars who are holding on to Guangning City, I am afraid that the Emperor Taiji in Shenyang will have to completely change the combat deployment, and the Houjin Tartars may really send envoys. Entered the capital to negotiate.

In terms of the comparison of troops, the four banners of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty do not exist, and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty have lost ordinary men and horses, as for the Eight Banners, the Red Flag is newly formed, and the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with before, and the inlaid white flag has suffered heavy losses, and it cannot be compared with before, and the combat effectiveness of Houjin has been discounted.

Su Tiancheng will not consider all this for the time being, his main task is to lead the army to Guangning.

After taking Xiping Fort, the Jiangning battalion captured more than 10,000 prisoners, these people have undergone strict screening, all the officers, all killed, there is no reason, ordinary sergeants, scattered formation, respectively incorporated into the Jiangning battalion of the various armies, officers at all levels, responsible for the education of these newly recruited sergeants, must be in the shortest possible time, let most of the sergeants into the Jiangning battalion this large collective.

The battle to conquer Xiping Fort, the loss of the Jiangning battalion is not small, the total number of killed and wounded, close to 10,000 people, this is mainly in the daytime attack, encountered the fierce resistance of the Houjin Tartars, plus the soldiers are not very familiar with the terrain inside Xiping Fort, in the process of fighting losses, but to talk about the comfort is that the real dead soldiers, less than 5,000 people, seriously injured less than 2,000 people, the rest are mostly minor injuries, after conditioning and treatment, you can continue to go to the battlefield.

Compared with the Houjin Tartars, the ratio of casualties in the Jiangning battalion is six to one, and it is not easy to reach such a level, which is almost impossible in a close battle.

As a result, Su Tiancheng strengthened his confidence, although it was said that a huge amount of silver taels had been spent on the innovation and development of hot weapons, but such an investment was worth it, the battle was won one after another, and the casualties of the soldiers were also reduced to the greatest extent.

The number of prisoners incorporated into the army, and the number of Jiangning battalions that can participate in the decisive battle of Liaodong is still maintained at about 60,000, which is what Su Tiancheng hopes to achieve, that is, in the battle with the Houjin Tartars, the Jiangning battalion must not suffer heavy losses, if that happens, the time to destroy the Houjin Tartars is the beginning of his Su Tiancheng's tragic encounter.

In the process of cleaning up the battlefield, Qu Qingze put forward a suggestion, the 10,000 soldiers led by Sun Chuanting are still blocking the reinforcements of the Houjin Tartars, whether to send 10,000 soldiers to reinforce Sun Chuanting, completely defeat the reinforcements of the Houjin Tartars, and strive to be able to destroy the vitality of the Houjin Tartars to a greater extent.

After Su Tiancheng pondered for a while, he shook his head, he thought that Sun Chuanting's task of blocking the attack had been completed, and it was estimated that the reinforcements of the Houjin Tartars might also get the information and would retreat as quickly as possible.

Su's prediction was completely accurate.

Just after the hour, Sun Chuanting returned with a large army.

Sun Chuanting reported that the reinforcements were the Houjin Tartars of the White Banner of the Han Eight Banners, the owner of the flag was Liu Zhiyuan, the number was about 20,000 people, the fighting in Maban Village lasted for more than a day, Liu Zhiyuan suffered a lot of losses, but he was never able to break through the defense line.

Sun Chuanting also got the news from the herald just after Mao Shi that the battle of Xiping Fort had ended, and all the more than 60,000 Houjin Tartars stationed in Xiping Fort had been exterminated.

Hearing the news, Sun Chuanting was a little stunned, and finally understood that the Houjin Tartar on the opposite side hurriedly withdrew, walking so fast and so clean, that he didn't even have time to clean up the body of the fallen sergeant.

In one day and one night, more than 60,000 people in Houjin Tartar were wiped out, which seems a little unimaginable, that is, killing pigs and sheep, 60,000 pigs and sheep, and I don't know how long it will take.

Sun Chuanting, who came to his senses, hurriedly asked if the marshal had a military order to pursue the reinforcements of the Houjin Tartars, but unfortunately the herald said very clearly that the marshal did not give this order.

Sun Chuanting restrained his desires and led the army to clean up the battlefield, because Su Tiancheng had an order, whether it was the Houjin Tartars or the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, they had to collect the bodies well.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Sun Chuanting led the army back.

At this time, most of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were still resting, and after a day and a night of fighting, they were very tired, except for a small number of soldiers, they were still cleaning up the battlefield.

Many soldiers who came back, didn't say anything, immediately helped to clean up the battlefield, they were happy in their hearts, everyone believed that after this battle, the prestige of the Jiangning battalion will reach its peak, try to ask who dares to have such a certainty, 50,000 soldiers attacked 60,000 Houjin Tartars, but in one day and one night, completely wiped out the 60,000 Houjin Tartars stationed in Xiping Fort.

Su Tiancheng did not have time to rest.

Liu Tiehan took the scouts, he had already gone out to investigate the news, and he should be back when he saw the time, and there was no news from Lu Xiangsheng's side, which made Su Tiancheng a little uneasy, I don't know what the situation was in the direction of Guangning, but there was one thing Su Tiancheng didn't expect, that is, the attack of the Jiangning battalion was too fierce, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, which caught people off guard, and the Liaodong border army led by Lu Xiangsheng The main task was to confront the Houjin Tartars in Guangning City, and they would not attack for the time being, and it was normal that there was no news.

Many officers came to Su Tiancheng's side.

Su Tiancheng looked at Sun Chuanting, and then at Ma Xianglin, the two of them were covered in dust, and there was still the smell of gunsmoke on their bodies, and it seemed that they were also fighting in person. So far, all the soldiers in the Jiangning battalion, except for Su Tiancheng, the rest are going directly to the battlefield, even Hong Chengchou is no exception, sometimes, Su Tiancheng also wants to be able to go into battle to fight, but unfortunately his fight has brought a burden to the soldiers, thousands of people surround him, for fear of accidents, Wu Rong and others are already the small leaders of the pro-military camp, and they must be commanding the pro-soldiers to protect Su Tiancheng's safety, as for the battle situation, it is not something they consider.

Su Tiancheng began to assign tasks again.

"Di Huaixiang, you lead 15,000 soldiers to defend Xiping Fort and prevent Houjin Tartars in the direction of Haizhou, I will leave one hundred and fifty artillery, how to maximize the power of artillery, you are already very familiar with it, you must remember, don't take the initiative to attack, just hold Xiping Fort."

Su Tiancheng had just finished arranging, and when he saw Sun Chuanting and Ma Xianglin's faces with a relieved look, of course he knew what the two of them were thinking, and he was afraid of staying in Xiping Fort to garrison.

Arrange for Di Huaixiang to stay in Xiping Fort, this is Su Tiancheng's decision after careful consideration, the reason is very simple, the defense of the city must rely on firearms, Di Huaixiang is the guard commander of the Shenji Battalion, familiar with the operation of artillery, and gradually understands how to attack and defend.
