The 3rd and 5th Battalions, which had been fighting fiercely all day, were put on the hull of the ship, and the 4th Battalion was closed from the Mimi River to the north to continue to undertake the task of guarding and preparing for the enemy, and the 1st Battalion and the auxiliary troops of the Workers' Battalion cleaned up the battlefield.

Xiaobotou village burned thoroughly, until the second half of the night the fire gradually extinguished, from the Nanzhai gate in, in the laneway there are a large number of smoke smoke suffocated to death of the captive soldiers, the broken walls of the burned down are everywhere, occasionally a gust of wind blows, the sparks fly, and the residual fire is not finished with heat. Most of the horses struggled out of the stables, rushing forward and struggling in the stockade to kill and burn to death, and it was also these uncontrolled horses that disturbed the rear of the captives in the enemy's village, making the captives after dusk unable to break through, otherwise the third battalion would have suffered more casualties.

The grass and trees are destroyed, and the grain and meat are turned to ashes, but the bricks, tiles, gold, silver, copper, and iron cannot be burned.

Swords, spearheads, iron armor, scale armor, steel armor pieces of group armor, and other iron tools are all strategic materials to be recovered by the auxiliary soldiers of the Workers' Battalion.

The captured enemy who counterattacked Cangnan carried a part of the baggage, grain and grass, most of them were burned, and the captured enemy did not have the intention of trading with the locality, and the gold and silver in the baggage were very small, Lin Mengde searched the remnants of the enemy's baggage, and only found three or four hundred catties of gold and silver that were burned and melted into pieces.

None of the above is the point, the focus is on the gold and silver that the captives carry with them.

Since the Dongyu broke through the border and entered the Koukou, every time a city was broken, except for the Fucang and a few key large households sent by the king to take over and loot the goods as military funds, they would plunder the troops for three or seven days as a reward for the meritorious soldiers who attacked the city.

There were very few gold and silver goods in the baggage of the captured enemy camp in Cangnan, but some of the captured soldiers were privately carried; It is even possible to judge the severity of the sins of these captives in Yannan from the amount of gold and silver goods they privately carried.

Cangnan won a great victory to encircle and annihilate Nayanbu, killed more than 1,000 enemies, and seized nearly 10,000 taels of gold and silver and goods.

This number is not much, and the horses obtained are the biggest gains last time, but there are few reasons for this number.

Cangnan victory was annihilated by the Yan Department is mostly composed of the king's tent soldiers and the collected sentinels, since the border was broken into the Kou, almost never directly participated in the siege war, the city was plundered, often in the end to drink some scraps of cold burning, the income is naturally not much.

This time the arson of the village, the horses were either burned to death or suffocated, but since the Nahe Xiongqi troops broke through the border and entered the Kou, they participated in the first attack on the five cities, and his subordinates entered the city several times to search for gold and silver.

Lin Mengde was worried that the military resources were too large and the replenishment was insufficient, and he had to organize more than 100 auxiliary soldiers to go into the village to search for the corpses of the captives, so that he knew that the fire was worth it, otherwise it would be a lot of losses to let one go.

**********

Zhou Pu, Ao Canghai, Ning Zechen, Zhao Qingshan, Cao Ziang and others focused on leading troops to fight, while Lin Mengde focused on logistics and supply to provide continuous combat support for the Jiangdong Left Army.

Among so many people, Lin Mengde did not directly lead the troops to fight, but the pressure on his shoulders was not half a point lighter than that of others.

Cheng Yuqian led the main force of Jiangning Qinwang's division to retreat back to Jining, and only relied on the silver allocated when Jiangning set off to maintain military support.

The Jiangdong Left Army was determined to attack, and the consumption of training and marching on weekdays was twice that of the garrison army, and in addition to casualties in each battle, the consumption of armor and horses was also huge.

Including the settlement silver, only three months have passed, and the military expenses of the Jiangdong Left Army have reached 120,000 taels. There are many factors for the Jiangdong Left Army's record today, but such a high investment is also one of the important factors.

In addition to Jiangning's allocation of silver and the pounding of strategic materials in Texas to earn a sum of silver, Jiyun Society also subsidized 40,000 taels of silver. If this war lasts for a few more months, and there is not enough collection and replenishment during the war, the Jiyun Society will not be able to hold on first.

Lin Mengde attaches the most importance to battlefield search, and battlefield search is naturally his duty. The fire in Xiaobotou Village was slightly smaller, so he asked Ao Canghai to send a sentry to block Xiaobotou Village for him, so as to avoid the unclean hands and feet of the ordinary soldiers below, and he personally organized the auxiliary soldiers of the Gongyuan Battalion to enter Xiaobotou Village to search for the battlefield.

********

Lin Jian sat by the fire and drank millet gruel for supper, Wu Qi put the outpost south of Yangxin, and did not find that the main force of the captives had returned, and the time left for them was still sufficient, and it was much more comfortable to drink millet gruel and chew dry cakes.

Lin Mengde came over happily, and Lin Jian asked, "How about the collection?" ”

"You can take a look at it with me, and you'll find out......," Lin Mengde said.

Lin Tie pulled the big and ran over with Lin Mengde to see the results of the seizure. He will not pay less attention to the replenishment of military funds than Lin Mengde, and the guarantee of a strong army is a strong logistical support.

However, seeing the goods confiscated from the corpse of the captive, Lin Jian suddenly lost his mood. These gold and silver bracelets, longevity locks, necklaces, hairpin rings, and other items that were somewhat deformed by the fire can be seen to imagine the situation of the captives plundering the city and doing evil deeds.

The more they are collected here, it undoubtedly shows that the more sins these captives have committed in Yannan.

"Let's register and enter the account...... Lin Jian waved his hand, and said with low interest, I want to call Zhou Pu, Ning Zechen, Zhao Qingshan, Ao Canghai and the sentry generals below, this battle is over, we have to summarize, and how to go next must also be discussed.

Lin Jian walked back to the campfire and continued to drink his millet gruel.

Wu Qi walked over first and said, "I heard from the workers' camp that a lot of money was collected this time, especially the goods on the captives, and there were also sixty or seventy thousand silver. Almost 50,000 or 60,000 of the cavalry who entered the city this time were involved in the direct siege and plundering of the city, and if the privateling of goods and goods was at this level, these sins made by these turtle grandsons in Yannan were really deep and unforgivable......"

Yannan Sanfu is located in the hinterland of the Yanji Plain, adjacent to Gyeonggi, located in a fertile area, with many favorable weather and many years, few disasters, and better public security than other places, and it is normal for the private sector to be more abundant. What is unforgivable is not to say, but also the court has to fight, only with this qualification, the center is afraid that it is still the idea of peace, in addition to snatching so much, it also plans to give away another sum of money.

Lin Jian beckoned Wu Qi to sit down, and said with a wry smile: "Don't talk about this, I'll discuss how to fight ...... next."

“…… Deploy on the front line of Longkou River and Xiaomi River, wait for work at ease, and beat his mother's tired army! Zhao Qingshan, Ning Zechen, Zhou Pu and others came over one after another, and Zhao Qingshan said in a high-pitched voice.

"......" Lin Jian laughed, it seems that everyone's morale is completely uplifted, and the confidence is also there, in the past, there will be no idea of fighting more with less, and said: "It is difficult to say whether Cao Ziang can come back in time, in addition to this casualty, there are still 2,000 people who can be obtained here, and there are sea ships to rely on, and the triangular area between the coastal embankment, the Xiaomi River, and the Longkou River is set up to wait for work to stop the tired army of Nahe Xiongqi running back and forth, but it is not a bad strategy...... What do other people think? ”

"It's okay to set up a formation to intercept, but the key is what kind of intention do we want to achieve?" Ning Zechen asked.

"Well, this question is very good...... Lin Tie nodded, Ning Zechen's growth is very rapid, and the people who won the battle in time are very excited, and they have the desire to fight, but they can still think that a battle without clear intentions is redundant and unnecessary, they risk intercepting the Nahe Xiongqi Department to return to the main force on the front line of Longkou River and Xiaomi, and it is difficult to achieve decent results with less fighting, and it is likely to be a sticky battle of competition and consumption, even if there are sea ships to rely on, I don't worry about the back road being blocked, but there is no need to compete for the battle of consumption... …

"Next, the target is hard to find......" Zhou Pu is a brave general, but the bumpy experience in the first half of his life makes him not as passionate and impulsive as Zhao Qingshan.

"Eliminate the defenders of Xiaobotou Village, that is, the main force of the Hexiong Qi Department is tired back and forth, this goal has been achieved, and the Hexiong Qi will inevitably lead the troops to counterattack, if we don't fight the tired army at this time, we won't find a chance to let him divide the troops in the future......" Zhao Qingshan still wanted to fight, and said, "You can't find an island body for a whole month and half a month and wait for the Dongyu to withdraw on their own, right?" ”

Their greatest reliance now is the sea ships behind them, and maneuvering along the coastline is their greatest advantage, and naturally they cannot give up this advantage to penetrate the inland to disturb the enemy's rear.

"Let's put this question down first, let's summarize the gains and losses of this battle first," Lin Jian beckoned everyone to sit down around the fire and said, "The gains and losses of my Jiangdong Left Army, you will summarize it later, first summarize the gains and losses of the enemy army, and see if there is anything worth learning from us...... Which of you will talk about the fatal mistakes made by the soldiers who stayed behind in Xiaobotou Village? ”

"For Dongyu, since joining the Kou, the battle has been too smooth," Ao Canghai sat beside him and muffled for a long time before he spoke, "There is no big mistake in Nahe Xiongqi's deployment after staying, he left a thousand captives to ride, which should be to prevent my Jiangdong Left Army from hiding on the island and sneak attack." It is a decent garrison, and there should be a garrison outside the wall. However, even if there are no other mistakes, I will be given a wall to the north and south gates of the Jiangdong Left Army, which is also the end of catching turtles in the urn and closing the door and beating dogs. When Chen Zhihu was in charge of building Zhaowu and other cities in Dongmin to blockade the luxury house, Li Zhuo put forward the principle of leaving more open and secret gates in the construction of the city, building a wall outside the city, making it cheaper to advance and retreat, and easy to expand. The walled village is more difficult to defend than the city, and it is more necessary to pay attention to the trapped defense of Bao Yuan, and it is impossible for Dongyu to have no experience in defending the walled city at all, in the final analysis, it is still arrogant and contemptuous of the enemy. Looking at this problem on the other hand, if we win again and again, we should also make the Eastern Prisoners pay attention to our army, and it will be difficult to use the mentality of other underestimated enemies to design and deal with ......."

Lin Jian nodded, the Jiangdong Left Army was still some distance away from the elite division, but the generals Ao Canghai, Zhou Pu, and Cao Ziang were far better than the ordinary generals of the Zhenfu Army.

Seeing Ning Zechen's brows, Lin Jian frowned, and asked, "With the intensity of the battle to capture the Nanzhai Gate at dusk, if these more than 1,000 captives move outside the village, how many troops will you need to cover them......

"......" Ning Zechen shook his head and said, "To guard against the main force of the captives in the south to counterattack at any time, even if there are sufficient troops, they should not be encircled, and it is the best policy to defeat and not get together......

Lin Lian nodded and said: "The outer periphery of the field is annihilated, the enemy is in the inner ring, and it is necessary to encircle it, and the contact surface must be deployed with a comparable degree of troop intensity, and the outer periphery must have twice as many troops as the inner circle." The so-called 'Ten Rules of Encirclement', a flat encounter, must have an absolute superiority of troops to consider the possibility of encirclement and annihilation, otherwise do not take risks easily. It is quite easy to trap the enemy in the city and lock the enemy in the wall, the opening surface of the city gate and the walled gate is quite narrow, even if there are 108,000 soldiers and horses hidden in the city, it is useless to not be able to unfold, in the final analysis, it is still the principle of 'strong soldiers cannot be called strong before they are deployed'...... I will discuss with you the tactical issues of field attack and defense and walled city defense, not to teach you a lesson, I just want to know if Yang Zhaoqi's troops were surrounded and annihilated in the field battle with Dongyu in the east of Gaoyang County, and whether the whole army was wiped out? ”
