Liu Peng knew that the Yanzhou Governor Corps had some troops in Xiadian, and it was said that the losses were not small, but for him, these losses were not important. He was concerned about Ding Gong and Yan.

The state has nowhere to vent its resentment, and may even cause a very bad impact. Now Haibei Town needs unity the most.

So he smiled and asked Ding Gong: "How many troops have you lost? I'll make up for it."

"Our Yanzhou Governor Corps and other Yanzhou Corps lost one and a half company and many sporadic units. There were almost 250 people who did not break through. The battle after that

Another 160 or 70 people were lost…”

"No breakout" actually means death or being captured. In fact, the Yanzhou Guard Corps even has a company that breaks out with only one platoon. This is exactly what Ding Gong feels like he has no face.

The reason for facing Liu Peng.

But the reason why Ding Gong took the initiative to take responsibility was to prepare to lead to the next topic: "But the reason why Yanzhou troops suffered such a huge loss is because of the River Defense Corps.

A battalion headquarters and two companies under it left without fighting after a little resistance. As a result, Yanzhou troops were rushed to attack in the south and suffered huge losses. They could not stand firm in Xiadian Town to wait for assistance!”

"And the battalion of the River Defense Corps and the two companies were attacked by Liu Xingzuo's infantry and cavalry during a hasty retreat, and the losses were quite large!"

This was a sue for Liu Fei, and Liu Peng also knew that Yanzhou troops suffered a major loss in Xiadian Town this time, and Liu Fei's responsibility was definitely the first, so he immediately said: "From

Now starting from the beginning, Commissioner Ding is fully responsible for the war in Yanzhou. Liu Fei has other appointments. I want to rely on his talents in recruit training!”

This is to directly transfer Liu Fei from the River Defense Corps and throw him on the bench for the recruit training. However, Liu Peng is more concerned about the war in Yanzhou: "How much is the total loss?"

When it comes to the issue of total losses, Ding Gong felt extremely heartbroken. He told Liu Peng: "The total losses of our Yanzhou troops alone are close to 500 people, and the River Defense Corps loses about 100 people.

Thirty or forty people!"

Ding Gong feels that the real field forces under his command are only two regiment-level units, Yanzhou Governor and Yanxi Detachment, and the troops he trusts most are Yanzhou Governor.

The big head of the second loss was mainly the Yanzhou Guard Corps, so he had to feel heartbroken and even risked the risk of offending Liu Fei to death and sued Liu Fei in front of Liu Peng.

Liu Peng said directly: "It is not your responsibility to be frustrated in the summer store this time!"

"This time I lost 700 old-style mechasus guns. I will add 1,000 stock mechasus guns, plus 400 new-style flintlock guns. You have lost more than a dozen old-style artillery guns. I will give you the

Add twenty new cast iron cannons, and the Yanzhou troops lost 500 people. I will add 1,000 trained recruits, plus two infantry regiments and six artillery companies. I will only ask you one question!

”

"What can our Haibei Army fight to Yunlong Lake!"

Ding Gong immediately answered very simply: "Give me ten days, and in just ten days, I can kill Yunlong Lake!"

Speaking of this, Ding Gong was also angry: "I don't believe it anymore. What kind of tricks can a little Yao Zheng and Liu Xingzuo do? I have done my best to fight all the way to Yangzhou, Huai'an Prefecture.

All preparations!”

For Ding Gong, no matter how many objective and subjective factors there are, this battle at Xiadian was a serious failure, and he must at least take on leadership responsibilities.

He was originally going to go to the battlefield with the mentality of making meritorious service, but he really didn't expect that Liu Peng would have such a demeanor. He first gave him the command of the entire Yanzhou front.

An outsider, rather than his step brother Liu Fei, threw Liu Fei on the bench, and then Liu Peng replenished all the resources he needed.

The rifle lost 700 poles, and Liu Peng added 1,400 rifles in one breath, including 400 latest flintlock guns. More than ten artillery pieces were lost, but Liu Peng gave them to Ding

The palace added more than 30 new cast iron cannons cast from good steel from reflector furnaces.

The soldiers lost nearly 500 people, and Liu Peng not only added 1,000 trained recruits, but also added two complete infantry regiments to Ding Gong. This really made Ding Gong surge.

The feeling of the world and the world together, he told Liu Peng: "Please rest assured, Governor-General, you will definitely hit Yunlong Lake within ten days, and even if you can't hit Yangzhou within one month, you will still hit Huai'an Prefecture.

!”

He already knew that Liu Peng was definitely planning to do a big deal this time, so he would let these Xuzhou rebels know when the wrath of Haibei will be!

As for the protagonists of this Xiadian Battle, Yao Zheng and Liu Xingzuo, they were both full of energy, and now is the peak moment of their lives. Yao Zheng said repeatedly:

Since the Haibei Pirates' Army launched a military force, it has never encountered such a setback. This time, Xiadian is definitely the first record. Even Jiannu has never let the Haibei Army die and injured thousands of people in one battle and lose them.

He abandoned his armor and rushed north in a hurry... and our Xuzhou Yishi did this."

General Ma from Huai'an Prefecture had questions about the outcome of this battle. Although dozens of his servants and more than a hundred camp soldiers also participated in the battle between the Xiadian battle and the subsequent battles.

Moreover, what these servants told him was similar to what Yao Zheng said, but he always felt that the combat power of the Haibei Army was not so fragile, and it was completely defeated by the Xuzhou soldiers in one battle.

.

Therefore, he had to tell Yao Zheng that he had to make all preparations: "It is naturally a good thing to win the flag! But we have to be careful, after all, several old departments in Haibei Town

The team has not officially participated in the battle..."

But Yao Zheng quickly blew: "What are the old campers afraid of? How can Haibei Town have been doing in the past two years to recuperate, but they have all given troops all the waste and are vulnerable, and they are simply vulnerable.

The reason why we didn’t chase and fight to Longkou this time is that the strength of our two armies is too thin!”

It is said that the troops are weak, but in fact it is not weak. In this battle of Xiazhen, Yao Zheng's Xuzhou Guard Corps mobilized thousands of soldiers, while Liu Xingzuo's Xu Huaizhen was due to the incident.

There was no comprehensive mobilization in the rush, but due to the particularly strong capital, nearly a thousand soldiers were invested in the Battle of Xiadian alone, and this did not include the forces participating in the battle outside.

In the next series of battles, Xu Huaizhen invested nearly a thousand warriors in one go, and the several new troops mobilized by the Xuzhou Garrison Corps had an absolute advantage in their troops.

Many times, a company of the Haibei Army had to fight against thousands of Xuzhou troops, and most of these Haibei Army troops were second- and even third-tier troops, so it was inevitable that they would be affected.

Some setbacks.

However, although Yao Zheng and Liu Xingzuo knew that they were defeating only the second-line troops of the Haibei Army, they were full of confidence in themselves and always felt that the opportunity was rare, just add

With a strong force and a fierce rush, it will at least take down the entire Yanzhou Prefecture, and then the Haibei Army will do anything to them.

After all, the Haibei Army did not use the most elite Changfeng Brigade and other troops, but the Xuzhou Army did not mobilize fully. The seized items in the Battle of Xiadian plus transportation from Nanjing Huaiyang

The supplies that came were enough to allow Xuzhou to arm thousands or even tens of thousands of new troops, so they were absolutely confident in this battle in Yanzhou.

Kong Bug Geng, a young eunuch who was guarding the Nanjing governor, said confidently: "I have seen this victory with my own eyes. The Yi soldiers in Xuzhou were captured in Xiadian.

Haibei pirates have thousands of new types of quick guns, more than 20 cannons, countless weapons and armor. All of this is what I and General Ma, you can see with your own eyes. You can imagine that the Haibei Army will damage this time.

How big is the loss!”

Speaking of Kong Bugen, he was really proud. Not to mention so many Haibei Army's standard mesh guns, it was a fact that the cannon fell to the Xuzhou Army. It was a fact that he personally checked it.

It was through so many spoils that he concluded that the Northern Army was vulnerable to the sea, and he also helped Xuzhou to provide reinforcements and support.

They didn't know that the seized guns, cannons and ammunition were all stocks of the Haibei Army. This time, they luckily gave the Xuzhou Army a huge advantage. The Xuzhou Army only made some minor frustrations occasionally

It is just a second-rate unit of the Haibei Army.

But this result was that Yao Zheng was fed with blood. He told: "Yes, since the rebellion in Haibei, in which case they had abandoned so many guns and shells? This time the Xia Dian seized it

The materials are enough for our Xuzhou troops to fight for a year!"

But when he said this, Kong Bug Geng, a young eunuch from Nanjing, coughed twice, signaling Yao Zheng not to continue talking. Yao Zheng finally understood the topic now, and it seemed that

It was a bit out of place. After all, although a large part of the Haibei Army's reserve materials were seized in Xiadian, the bulk of the materials seized belonged to hundreds of canal ships on the canal.

That's right, the fierce battle between the Xuzhou army and the Haibei army actually created a huge problem for the court, that is, the lifeblood of the court lies in the grain transportation, and there is no white grain or white transported from Jiangnan.

Silver, the capital is a dead city.

However, even though the Xiadian war was in a state of severance, the Xuzhou army even joined forces to deduct all the materials, money and grains on the ships as a military supply for

.

It is precisely because of these seized materials that Liu Xingzuo and Yao Zheng of the Xuzhou Army had the capital to double the strength of the Xuzhou Army. They felt that with 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers, they could be

Yanzhou is invincible on the battlefield.

No matter how much the Haibei Army can fight, due to the restraint between Jiannu and Sun Yuanhua, the troops invested in the Yanzhou battlefield were limited after all, so Liu Xingzuo immediately changed the topic: "Only

If Nanjing is willing to strongly support our Xuzhou Yishi, we can take down the entire Yanzhou Prefecture as soon as possible and drive all the pirates from Haibei back to the East Three Prefectures!"

For the court, it is absolutely a hateful thing for Yanzhou Prefecture to fall into the control of the Haibei Army. It is precisely because the control of Yanzhou Prefecture by the Haibei Army is equivalent to cutting off the canal transportation at any time.

Only the court would throw a rat and be afraid of weapons, and could only let the Haibei Army be lawless. Therefore, as long as it took back Yanzhou Prefecture, the Haibei Army could only trap the three eastern prefectures and finally ended up destroying itself.
