"The chief of the camp, my subordinates have captured thousands of prisoners back." Yan Weixi returned to the camp with a proud look on his face and came to Qiao Yuansheng, the chief of the camp.

Hearing this, Qiao Yuansheng raised his hand and pointed to Qin Youliang, the 20000-man team standing aside, and said with a smile: "Then you don't have as many prisoners as the 2nd team has captured. The 2nd team has captured almost two thousand prisoners from Chuangui."

"Have you captured so many prisoners?" Yan Weixi looked at Qin Youliang in surprise, then slapped his thigh and said regretfully, "I had known that our 300000 team would have gone upstream. If I had blocked the enemy in the upstream, the one who had caught so many prisoners would have been our 30000 team."

Qin Youliang next to him smiled and said, "Do you regret it? Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. Who told you to choose to go downstream?"

"This time I asked you to get a bargain, wait for the next time." Yan Wei said unconvincedly, and then said, "I often heard that the three most powerful soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were the Guanning Army, Zhejiang soldiers and Baigang soldiers. Now the Zhejiang soldiers are basically gone, only Guanning soldiers and Baigang soldiers are left. You have fought with Baigang soldiers. What do you think of Baigang soldiers? Can it pose a threat to us?"

After hearing this, Qiao Yuansheng and the deputy camp commander Bai Kong also looked at Qin Youliang.

The second thousand-man team that went upstream to block the Ming army crossing the river was also the first team to officially fight against the tiger flag and the white pole soldiers.

Qin Youliang held his chin and thought for a while, and said, "I did meet the Baigang Soldier, but the Baigang Soldier is not as powerful as the rumor said. It can only be said that he is less afraid of death than the ordinary Ming army. It's almost like that."

After saying that, he looked at the people in front of him.

"Is this over?" Qiao Yuansheng blinked his eyes.

Qin Youliang spread his hands and said, "It's over!"

"This is too little, just like saying nothing, let's talk in detail." Bai Kong interrupted.

"Yes, let's talk about it in detail. After all, Bai Gan Bing is the soldier of Shizhu Ma's family. If the tiger flag is used to go to Sichuan Gui in the future, I will face the Ma family sooner or later." Yan Weixi also said.

Several people knew that taking Henan was only the first step and they would definitely enter Sichuan Gui in the future.

"Come on, drink some water to moisten your throat first." Qiao Yuansheng picked up the large teapot on the table, picked it up and handed it to Qin Youliang.

Qin Youliang, who took the tea jar, took a sip of water and said, "The Baigang Soldiers give me a stronger feeling than the Ming army's main camp soldiers and guard soldiers we met. Not only did the armor and stomach weapons on their bodies, but they also had the blood bravery that other Ming soldiers lacked. Unfortunately, most of the Baigang Soldiers use long spears. When facing the musket, it is obvious that they are unable to get close to the musket. This is also a flaw of the white-gang Soldiers. If the white-gang Soldiers brought cannons in this battle today, I am afraid that there will be a battle to fight."

"The other party is really that powerful? You won't exaggerate it, right?" Yan Weixi said with a frown.

After fighting with Ming Jun so many times, I have never encountered any Ming Jun that he could be looked up to by him.

"I believe what he said." Qiao Yuansheng walked back to the table and sat down, continuing, "It's not that any Ming army has the ability to fight bloody battles with slave thieves in Hunhe, and in the end he could even forcefully break out of the siege with some soldiers."

Bai Kong, who was standing beside him, continued: "In fact, the reason why most Ming troops are so bad is not that the soldiers are not good, but that the officials are not good. As long as the soldiers are given full salary, the soldiers are given full food, the soldiers are given more training, and they can become a strong army. Our tiger flag is the best example."

Qin Youliang and Yan Weixi nodded in agreement.

Among the soldiers of the Tiger Flag were soldiers from the Ming army. In the past, these people were in a bad situation, but now they have become elite soldiers and generals of the Tiger Flag.

"Tell me about this battle downstream! What you blocked was the troops of Xiangyang Guard. Have you captured the commander of Xiangyang Guard? I heard that this person is here too." Qiao Yuansheng asked Yan Weixi.

Hearing this, Yan Wei felt sad and said, "Don't mention it, the commander of Xiangyang Guards has never crossed the river at all, and he also asked the commander and two thousand households who led the Xiangyang Guards to cross the river to run away. The biggest official he caught was a deputy thousand households."

"What's going on?" Qiao Yuansheng frowned and asked, "Is the guards in Xiangyang more difficult to deal with than the white-rod soldiers in the upstream? You can't even catch people."

Facing the questioning, Yan Weixi quickly explained: "I can't blame me. Who would have thought that the Xiangyang guards were so thrust into beating, and they only released two rows of guns. The opponent was defeated directly and didn't even fight back. Several officials took the boat and fled to the other side."

He was also upset.

Even a decent official from Xiangyang Guard was not arrested, but the deputy Qianhu who was arrested was only from the fifth rank, and no official from the fifth rank was arrested.

"The more than a thousand soldiers and horses of Xiangyang Guards were captured, and the Xiangyang Guards were almost abandoned. I guess they would not think about crossing the river for a while." Bai Kong said to Qiao Yuansheng.

It is difficult for no cavalry to wipe out the enemy completely. It is possible to capture thousands of prisoners, but more because the river prevents the defeated soldiers from fleeing back to the other side of the river.

Qiao Yuansheng said: "I just feel a pity that neither the 20000-man team nor the 3000-man team had caught a few decent Ming generals, and Ma Xianglin and the Xiangyang Guard Commander Zheng Qinyu were able to catch either."

"It's not the blame for the two of them." Bai Kong glanced at Qin Youliang and Yan Weixi and said, "Neither Ma Xianglin nor Zheng Qinyu came across the river. Even if they wanted to catch these two people, there would be no chance."

Qin Youliang and Yan Weixi looked aggrieved.

Of course, they also wanted to arrest Ma Xianglin and Zheng Qinyu.

One is the Shizhu Xuanwei Envoy, and the other is the Xiangyang Guard Commander, both of whom are high-ranking officials in the local area, especially Ma Xianglin, who is also a chieftain.

Catching one of them can add more credit.

Qiao Yuansheng said: "Forget it, if you can't catch it, you won't catch it. The Ming army had just suffered such a big defeat, and it would take time to re-summon troops. The Ming army should not cross the river in a short time, so we can have a safe life."

The prisoners captured two or three thousand people, plus the soldiers killed and injured by the Ming army and fled. In this battle, the Ming army lost four or five thousand troops, including Sichuan Gui's troops.

The visiting troops from Sichuan and Guizhou and Huguang wanted to come to Henan again, and also wanted to think about whether they could withstand more losses from the troops.

"There are too many prisoners and cannot be left here. Should I send them to Luoyang and be handed over to the governor for disposal?" Bai Kong asked.

The governor he mentioned was not the governor of Henan, but Li Shuheng, the first governor of the tiger flag appointed by Liu Heng.

As soon as Li Shuheng and Hong Chengchou arrived in Henan, they stayed in Luoyang City to handle Henan affairs.

"Okay, take advantage of the Ming army's lack of crossing the river for the time being, and escort the prisoners back." Qiao Yuansheng nodded in agreement with the other party's proposal.
