Gao Huan and others watched Abatai lead the cavalry away, and gradually they could only see the rising yellow dust.

Gao Huan then turned his head and ordered, "Xu Heihu, go out to investigate and confirm that the Tartars evacuate."

The cavalry came and went like the wind, fighting against the Qing army, and they had to make sure they left so that Gao Huan could rest assured and continue to clear the battlefield.

Xu Heihu clasped his fists and said, "Zhong!"

Soon, the Red Horse Army ran out of the camp and followed the Qing cavalry.

Now all the mules and donkeys in the Red Horse Army were eliminated and left to the baggage camp, while all the horses were replaced with war horses, and they were all one man and two horses.

This will undoubtedly improve the maneuverability and endurance of the horse army, and give the Red Horse Army the ability to deal with the Eight Banners Cavalry.

The cavalry ran out. At noon, Xu Heihu sent someone to report that Abatai left Xingyang and did not stay in Zhongmu. Instead, he returned to Kaifeng and joined the ten thousand Qing troops who remained there.

Gao Huan felt relieved when he learned that Abatai had returned to Kaifeng Camp, so he ordered the soldiers to continue to clean up the battlefield and count the losses.

The soldiers of the autonomous army rested for a long time and recovered their vitality.

A team of soldiers immediately drove out the camp, cleared the bodies on the river bank, and harvested the heads.

"Supervisor! Let's leave this to your subordinates. If you haven't had a day of your eyes, go and rest first!" Song Xiance said.

Gao Huan was indeed a little tired and nodded, "That's what it takes to be a military advisor."

...

Gao Huan returned to the camp tent, stuck to the camp bed, and fell asleep immediately.

This time, Gao Huan was awakened by his subordinates from noon until dark.

At this time, in the big tent, Gao Huan hurriedly ate something, and Yang Yan said, "Supervisor, the military advisor and others are here!"

Gao Huan stuffed the remaining pancakes in one bite, then finished drinking the broth and wiped his mouth, "Let them come in!"

Song Xiance and others picked up the tent and saluted: "Supervisor!"

Gao Huan hurriedly asked everyone to sit down, and asked someone to prepare some tea. After drinking a sip of strong tea, he cheered up and said to everyone: "Tell me!"

Song Xiance said: "The governor, the subordinates have completed the seizure. Our greatest gain in this battle is the war horses."

Gao Huan [Xinbiquge www.biqule.info] is also most concerned about this issue. If you want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, you cannot do without cavalry.

This time when he fought with the Qing army, Gao Huan was forced by the Qing cavalry to hold on to the camp, and he did not dare to choose the plain on the battlefield, which made him pregnant with cavalry phobia.

Gao Huan asked: "How many horses have been seized?"

Song Xiance said: "This time, more than 7,800 horses were seized, plus the 3,000 horses seized by General Xu before, we seized a total of more than 10,000 war horses."

Xu Heihu said regretfully: "There are only two thousand cavalry in the humble position. After breaking through the camp, he rushed straight under the river embankment. Most of the horses in the camp were taken away by the coat. Although the horses under the river embankment were dispersed by some, the two thousand horse troops still could not stop the Tartars from escaping on horseback."

More than 10,000 war horses were seized, worth nearly one million taels.

These more than 10,000 war horses, plus the original war horses of the autonomous army, can train two battalions and be equipped with cavalry with double horses.

When cavalry fight, they must be equipped with two horses to have combat power.

Generally speaking, the role of cavalry is mainly used for raiding and rushing formations, while cavalry usually have to run hundreds of miles to fight horses.

At this time, if there was only one war horse, when you arrived at the destination, the war horse would be exhausted.

At this time, if you wait for the horsepower to recover, you will lose your suddenness.

Therefore, cavalry must be equipped with double horses, used alternately, maintain the physical strength of the war horses, and be able to launch an impact at any time.

The cavalry of the two battalions was more than 6,000 cavalry.

Compared with the number of cavalry of the Qing army, this is still a little less than that of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, but in the pass, Gao Huan can be called the second child.

This made Gao Huan quite satisfied, "It's not bad!"

Song Xiance said: "The battlefield is in chaos, and there should be many frightened horses running away and not being found. The subordinates have ordered people to continue searching and post notices to ask the people who took the horses to hand over the horses."

Gao Huan nodded, "I handed in, and distributed a few acres of land to him. The private owners confiscate the horses and send them to labor reform!"

War horses are strategic materials and are expensive. Gao Huan will not be ruthless in order to obtain war horses.

Song Xian nodded slightly and then continued: "According to statistics from the soldiers, in the battle yesterday, our army killed more than 15,000 enemies. According to the clothes and armor, there were 400 people in the full flag, 3,800 people in the Han flag, and 2,200 people in the Meng flag, and the rest were all coated."

Gao Huan smiled on his face and felt quite excited. With the previous gains, the autonomous army killed nearly 10,000 flag soldiers in total.

This is definitely the greatest victory for the Ming army since the Liao incident.

After this battle, the autonomous army will surely revive the world and revive the Central Plains.

Gao Huan smiled and said, "Cut off all the heads of the Tartars. When the Tartars retreat, our governor will use it to repay the merits."

Before, Gao Huan did not report his military achievements in order to get the court to send troops.

Now, Abatai retreated, and the previous military achievements and yesterday's achievements can be reported together.

Gao Huan was not afraid of showing off. The collapse of the Chongzhen Dynasty was right in front of him. He was about to use his military achievements to gain prestige and high positions.

In this way, after the Chongzhen Dynasty overthrew, only then did someone listen to what he said, only then would someone defect to him, and only then could he inherit more of the Ming Dynasty's legacy.

Li Pingyuan bowed and said, "Reporting to the governor, they were all pickled with lime and salt."

Gao Huan nodded slightly, "Yes! Keep it properly!"

"In addition to beheading, the commander, he also captured more than 300 flag-team men and coated seven thousand people. He seized 12,000 pieces of armor, twenty heavy artillery pieces, 30,000 stones of grain, and 90,000 taels of silver." Song Xiance took out a list and said: "There are also some knives, guns, etc., which are all small at 10,000."

Abatai came from Kaifeng and fought with Gao Huan, so he naturally would not bring money and too much food.

Therefore, the capture of the autonomous army was mainly based on weapons and military capital.

Gao Huan smiled even more when he heard this. The reason why the Qing army was powerful was mainly because of its well-equipped equipment.

The autonomous army destroyed only 10,000 flag officers, and the seized more equipment than Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of people.

At this time, Song Xiance suddenly looked dark, "Supervisor, there are only so many captured. Next, my subordinates report on the losses."

Gao Huan looked serious when he heard the words, nodded slightly and said, "Yes! Tell me!"

Song Xiance said in a deep voice: "Since the war started, our autonomous army has been killed, and the total is nearly 10,000. Thousands of people have been injured!"

Gao Huan nodded silently. He commanded the whole process and had long been clear about the casualties of the autonomous army, but he was still shocked by the number.

Such losses have already damaged the vitality for the autonomous army.

Gao Huan was silent for a moment and said, "The placement and pension must be in place. In addition, he sent a command to the army to rest overnight and advance east tomorrow. This governor will ask for pensions and silver rewards for the soldiers."
