Kuqi protected Zilharang and retreated in a hurry, abandoning the remnants of the Qing army in Jiulongyu, and the remnants of more than 20,000 people were defeated, where could they hold on? Tens of thousands of Ming troops besieged on all sides, and in one night, they were almost cleared cleanly, except for some Qing troops who escaped into the mountains and disappeared by night, the rest were either killed or seriously wounded and captured.

Xu Yifan was still indignant, he finally deployed such a huge pocket, and actually let Jierharang run away, it was really unlucky, just a little bit!

"Okay, Yifan, this battle, we have won a great victory, the Qing army has suffered heavy casualties, more than 20,000 people were killed by us alone, and nearly 20,000 people were captured, of which 10,000 were seriously injured, I am afraid that even if we can save our lives, it is impossible to re-enter the battlefield, even those who took advantage of the chaos to flee plus the cavalry brought out by Zilharang combined, there are no more than 10,000, this Manchurian Tartar's Western Route Army has been completely injured, and there is no chance to turn the tables......"

Yang Chengzu said with a smile, and several generals around him also laughed, since the invasion of Manchuria and Tatars, this can be said to be a complete victory in the real sense, and after three months of fighting, the two big victories were known to Xu Yifan, and one time surrounded and annihilated 20,000 or 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry, and this time it was even more ruthless, and directly broke up the Western Route Army. If Qin Mufeng is the first fierce general and invincible in the charge, then Xu Yifan is the first commander who strategizes and wins thousands of miles, this is a shining star in China after the emperor!

"That's not all!"

He Yilong continued: "What you are talking about is only the situation inside Jiulongyu, outside Jiulongyu, the red flag still suffered a heavy blow, in less than an hour of the battle, the Qing army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, at least thousands of corpses were thrown down, this time, Jierharang has been completely beaten down by us!" After the south bank of the Yellow River, it will be as stable as Mount Tai! ”

"Don't be too careless!"

Xu Yifan said lightly, "The Western Route Army has suffered heavy losses, and it is true that their vitality has been greatly damaged, but this does not mean that they have no strength to fight again, you know, they still have at least 50,000 troops, which can be worth the strength of our two towns, not to mention that their infantry also carries a large number of artillery, once repaired, it will still pose a huge threat to Henan, and we must not take it lightly......

Li Dingguo, who was on the side, said in a deep voice: "Master Governor, I suggest that we should take advantage of the victory to pursue, point our troops directly at Xingyang and Yanshi, take advantage of the great injury and low morale of the Tartars, and directly drive the Tartars out of the north of the Yellow River, at least, we must also drive them to the west of Luoyang, so as to ensure that we have enough strategic ......depth in Henan."

Xu Yifan nodded and replied: "Brother Dingguo is right, it's just that I led the main force of the Tianwei Army to cross the Yellow River south, it won't take long for the news to reach the Daimyo's Mansion, and even now Duoduo has already gotten the news, the most troublesome thing is that it won't take long for the news of the battle of Jiulongyu to spread throughout the Central Plains, when the time comes, Duoduo will be annoyed and ashamed, I am afraid that I will attack Weihui Mansion and storm the Yellow River crossing, once we are far away from Kaifeng, in the future, if we want to return to the division in time, it is ......very dangerous."

Li Dingguo said angrily: "Lord Inspector, now that the Western Route Army has suffered such a serious setback, it has long been out of the mood to fight, especially their elite cavalry, there are now less than 20,000 people left, and the rest are green battalion soldiers, with limited combat power, the last general thinks that there is no need for the whole army of our Tianwei Army to be dispatched, only the last general and General Shu need to send troops at the same time, it is enough to drive Jierharang back to the west of Luoyang!" ”

"Not bad! Yifan, Master Li is right, now the Manchurian Tartars have been scared by us, and it is when we take advantage of the victory to pursue, the fourth town of the Tianwei Army and my Nanjing Zuozhen will fight together, which is enough to drive them back to the west of Luoyang, or even back to the north of the Yellow River! ”

Shu Xinchen echoed: "What's more, this time we suddenly withdrew from Luoyang City, although it is said that it is a military order, but it is not enough to live Luoyang City full of rich people, if I and Lord Li can't take Luoyang City back with our own hands, I am afraid that we will have a disturbed conscience in this life, this battle, we can't avoid it!" ”

Shu Xinchen said well, in Luoyang City for a full month and a half, the people of Luoyang City thanked Chen Qiyu in order to protect the people of the city, tired to death in the city, one by one worked hard to assist the Ming army to defend the city, not only the Qing army suffered huge casualties, the people of Luoyang City also suffered heavy casualties, paid a huge price, this go, all the people fell into the hands of the Qing army, it can be imagined how the Qing army will retaliate against the people in the city, do not kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, Li Dingguo and Shu Xinchen are guilty.

"Are you two sure?"

Xu Yifan asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Xu Yifan nodded and replied: "Since this is the case, then give an order, the fourth town of the Tianwei Army and the left town of Nanjing will reorganize their forces and advance to the west, and all the military affairs west of Zheng County will be handed over to Li Dingguo, Brother Dingguo, everything can be left to please, you are handsome, although Brother Xinchen is brave, after all, it is inferior to you in terms of strategy, and the safety of the three armies is ......."

Shu Xinchen smiled: "Okay, Yifan, do you still need to say it?" If I don't listen to Lord Li in Luoyang City, do you think that with my two brushes, I can withstand the 100,000 army of Jierharang for a month? ”

Xu Yifan's face turned red, he was too worried at that time, as long as the two of them worked together and Li Dingguo was in charge, even if they couldn't win a big victory, it would be okay to stabilize the situation in western Henan.

"Brother Chengzu, transfer 3,000 elite infantry, 20 artillery pieces, and 2,000 shells from the first town of the Tianwei Army to supplement the fourth town and Nanjing Zuo Town, and the rest of the army, rectify overnight, and return to Kaifeng Mansion tomorrow, we still have a new big war to fight!"

Xu Yifan's face turned pale and said to Yang Chengzu.

"Still going to war?"

Yang Chengzu was stunned for a moment, and asked later.

Xu Yifan sneered: "Of course, although we won this battle, Jierharang is no longer able to move eastward, but Duoduo has not yet fallen down, Shunde Mansion is in crisis, Dongchang Mansion is also in crisis, and even Caozhou Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion are not safe now, how can we relax and return to Kaifeng Mansion to temporarily repair, the army is ready to move eastward, we have to kill Dongchang Mansion directly from Caozhou, and it is time for him Duoduo to learn our strength!" ”

Now that he has defeated Jierharang, it only ensures the safety of Kaifeng Mansion and the back road of the Tianwei Army, but Qin Mufeng is still trapped in Shunde Mansion, defeating the Zhenghong Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banners, if the right town of Nanjing and Qin Mufeng are put in, then Xu Yifan is equivalent to working in vain, and Qin Mufeng must be rescued!
