Chapter 388: Solid Defense

The Royal Third Division recovered Gu County with more than 1,500 casualties, more than 3,500 killed and more than 4,000 captured.

The reason for such heavy casualties was that all the soldiers of the Royal Third Division were rookies on the battlefield for the first time, and the biggest casualties were caused by street fighting, close combat between the soldiers and the defeated Guanning Army.

The Independent First Division of the National Defense Army and the White Rod Army guarding the two wings killed and wounded nearly 10,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry in total, paying only the price of nearly 1,000 casualties, and the results were brilliant.

In the three battles, Wu Sangui won one and lost two, with heavy casualties. When he left the pass, the 150,000-man army had been more than half destroyed. Seeing the low morale of the entire army, Wu Sangui could only lead his army to retreat.

Qin Liangyu led the three armies to advance slowly, steadily, and did not give Wu Sangui the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

On the Yutian defense line, Ajige suffered heavy losses due to unfavorable offensive, and also lost fierce generals such as Oboi and Agutai, which affected morale. He had to suspend the offensive and wait for the arrival of Dorgun's main force.

The blue side did not order an attack, but ordered the troops to hold their positions and wait for Qin Liangyu to lead the army to join them, and then decide on the opportunity.

The victory news from the two places was sent back to the capital, the court was excited, the army and the people were jubilant, and young men from all over the country responded to the call and signed up to join the army to defend their country and fight against the invading Qing army.

One after another, the new recruit divisions were formed and received the most basic military training, which made all the military instructors exhausted.

There was no way, there were too few talents. In order to appease all the instructors, Zhu Youjian promoted them and rewarded them with silver. All the instructors were as excited as chicken blood. Unless they were exhausted, they would grit their teeth and hold on.

There must be brave men under heavy rewards. This is really not a lie.

After discussion, Zhu Youjian organized the Guangxi Wolf Army Division, Sichuan Army Division, and Royal Second Division under the command of the Blue Party into the first battle group, the White Rod Army, the Independent First Division of the National Defense Army, and the Royal Third Division under Qin Liangyu into the second battle group, and the Royal First Division, Royal Fourth Division, and the First and Second Divisions of the National Defense Army under Xu Yu into the third battle group.

Considering the restlessness of the Donglin Party and the aristocratic tyrants, Xu Yu's third battle group was still stationed in the capital to prevent any accidents.

Although the first and second battle groups won the battle, they also suffered some losses and consumed a lot of ammunition, which needed to be replenished, especially the Guangxi Wolf Army Division and the Royal Second Division. The former was still short of two brigades and the latter was short of one brigade. This time, he replenished them all at once.

The Royal Third Division recovered Gu County with a record of more than 1,500 casualties, more than 3,500 killed and more than 4,000 captured.

The reason for such a large number of casualties was that all the soldiers of the Royal Third Division were recruits who went to the battlefield for the first time, and the biggest casualties were street fighting, and the soldiers and the defeated Guanning Army paid in close combat.

The Independent First Division of the National Defense Army and the White Rod Army guarding the two wings killed and wounded nearly 10,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry in total, paying only the cost of nearly 1,000 casualties, and the results were brilliant.

In the three battles, Wu Sangui won one and lost two, with heavy casualties. When he left the pass, the 150,000-man army had now been more than half destroyed. Seeing the low morale of the entire army, Wu Sangui could only lead his army to retreat.
