Xirong Po was really cruel. He used his bad soldiers to exchange for the lives of Qin soldiers. Although the proportion was a bit too large, Xirong Po didn't care. In order to win, he had to use all the means he could use.

The Qin army finally retreated to the bunker. To roughly estimate, the number of Qin army killed under the enemy's heavy artillery was at least more than 4,000.

Xirong Po made such a struggle, but he didn't have a hot head and took advantage of the victory to attack. The coalition forces suffered a lot of casualties, so they simply stopped attacking and adjusted their formation before making plans.

Although the bad soldiers who were sacrificed can be sacrificed, they can't throw all the bad soldiers into it, right?

Xirong Po knew that defeating the Qin army was not a matter of one day or one night. Now the coalition's material reserves are much stronger than that of the Qin army. As long as they are consumed slowly, they will sooner or later consume the Qin army to death.

The adjustments were made by the coalition forces, and the Qin army was also summarizing. According to convention, when there were major casualties in the Qin army, as long as there was time, they would definitely sum up.

Although what happened cannot be changed, avoiding similar situations in future battles is also a summary of experience.

The military meeting chaired by Qin Ning seemed a bit heavy. Although the total number of Qin troops with a total of 600,000 was not very large, the sacrifice of Qin troops being mass-killed by artillery fire was a bit unacceptable.

Mu Xiongtian said sadly: "I ordered this attack, so I am responsible for the major casualties. At that time, because my army's shells and ammunition reserves were insufficient, I saw that the enemy was not fighting troops rushing up, so I thought that the ground troops would kill them with one charge. Who knows, cough..."

Qiu Wenhe frowned, waved his hand and said directly: "I want to say that, as the commander of our army, General Mu must consider the problem from a global perspective. Although the casualties this time have something to do with General Mu's dispatch of ground troops, he did not simply take advantage of the perspective of saving ammunition and not willing to spare the lives of the warriors. We must consider the special background and specific conditions of this matter."

All the generals also expressed their opinions. But after all, they were all about the sacrifice incident itself. They did not say anything else.

Qin Ning thought for a while and said, "I agree with Wen He's opinion. The abnormal and serious casualties that occurred today have a profound background. We don't need to discuss this matter. What I want to say is that our army will be in a state of scarcity of supplies for a long time, that is, we must face enemies with the disadvantages of scarce materials and personnel."

Speaking of this, Qin Ning sighed. I have to say that Qin Ning never expected that the Qin army would have such a situation one day. If we talk about the army of the Cultivation Continent, who can be richer than the Qin army? Who else can be less worried about logistics supply than the Qin army?

However, this day has come, and the large teleportation array has been cut off. What can be done if there are any wealth and abundant supplies?

"I called everyone here today, not to discuss battlefield issues, but to let everyone think about it carefully. In such a shortage of materials, how can we fight the war?"

Faced with such a dilemma, let alone the generals. Even Qin Ning was in great trouble. Without material reserves, it was like a tiger without teeth. How could he fight with others?

Suddenly, Lu Ling looked up and said, "Your Majesty, our Qin army is not only brave in combat, but also has variable tactics. I think that our army's insufficient equipment can be compensated for through flexible and changeable tactics."

Since Lu Ling followed Qin Ning to defeat the second prince, he has been relied on by Qin Ning. The territory of the Qin army in the Abyss Empire mainly comes from the second prince and Ye Lan King.

Lu Ling has been guarding the frontier between Qin Ning and the second prince. This time, because the situation in Lingtu City is serious, almost all the elites of the Qin army in the Abyss Empire have arrived here. Lu Ling has also arrived in Lingtu City.

Qin Ning has always admired this subordinate. Although Lu Ling surrendered from the second prince's camp, Qin Ning absolutely trusted this surrendered general, otherwise he would not have handed over the important task of the frontier to Lu Ling.

The most commendable thing is that Lu Ling has all the excellent qualities of an outstanding general, loyal, brave and unconventional.

"General Lu, please tell me what you think. You know, I'm a little exhausted." Qin Ning deliberately told a joke to relieve the somewhat depressing atmosphere in the field.

The atmosphere at this time must not be too depressing, otherwise it will affect the minds of the generals to a certain extent. Once the mind is shaken, it may turn into a disaster for the Qin army.

A kind-hearted laughter appeared in the field. Lu Ling had long been accustomed to the atmosphere of joking between the Qin army, and also laughed: "Your Majesty, our Qin army has always been good at special operations. When small troops attack sneak attacks, our Qin army said second, and no one dared to say first. Now the enemy is defeated by strong firepower, why don't we dispatch small troops to kill their heavy artillery battalion?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the generals lit up, and everyone discussed the implementation of this idea.

After a long discussion, the generals thought that Lu Ling's idea could be taken into action. If the coalition forces' heavy artillery battalion was removed, then if the coalition forces wanted to attack Lingtu City, they had to attack through ground troops. In this way, the Qin army could use the strong city defense to severely defeat the enemy.

When the generals finished their discussion and put their eyes on Qin Ning, they found that Qin Ning was frowning, as if they had great doubts about this idea.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and everyone was waiting for Qin Ning's opinion.

After a long time, Qin Ning slowly said: "This plan is not feasible."

This surprised the generals a little. This is not to say that Qin Ning has never rejected the opinions of his subordinates, but under the premise that his subordinates take risks, Qin Ning will generally encourage his subordinates to do it.

Because Qin Ning has always believed that the most taboo thing in military operations is conservatism. Even if there is a setback, Qin Ning will encourage his generals to take some risks to do things.

The plan to sneak attack on the enemy's heavy artillery battalion is risky, but it has great risk rewards. If the enemy's heavy artillery battalion is killed, the Qin army can turn the situation around and get rid of the situation of being strongly suppressed by the opponent's long-range firepower.

What's wrong with the leader?

Could it be that you were scared by the enemy's powerful offensive? No, your leader has always been that the stronger the enemy, the higher the fighting spirit.

Qin Ning looked at the generals and expressed his analysis: "General Lu Ling's suggestion itself is not wrong, but the situation has changed drastically, so I think this plan doesn't work."

At the military meeting, no one was the boss. Lu Ling immediately asked: "Your Majesty, can you give me a specific reason?"

With a slightly raised brow, Qin Ning opened his mouth and smiled, "Lu Ling, if I ask you to attack the enemy's heavy artillery battalion, how sure do you think?"

"I dare not say that if I have too many, I am at least 50% sure." This statement was unanimously recognized by all the generals, because the Qin army had not done sneak attacks. In this regard, the success rate of the Qin army's sneak attacks was higher than 60%. Judging from this historical data, Lu Ling's statement is a bit modest.

"Why are you so sure?" Qin Ning asked with a smile.

"Our army has extremely high tactical qualities in special operations, and we have heavy firepower equipment like hand cannons. As long as we can get close to the enemy's heavy artillery battalion and knock it out, it should not be a problem." Lu Ling's words were once again unanimously recognized by everyone.

"Hahaha!" Qin Ning laughed, "Lu Ling, how did you forget the most basic things? Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. You said that you have a close friend, but you did not know your enemy. You forgot that the coalition forces now use heavy artillery on vehicles, which is very mobile. If the enemy transfers immediately after using heavy artillery, where will you go to kill the opponent's heavy artillery?"

These words made all the generals stunned.

Yes, the enemy's car-mounted heavy artillery has been seen with their own eyes. It moves very flexibly. It is really not difficult to remove it immediately after the shelling is completed.

Qin Ning continued: "Xirong Po suffered such a loss in General Mu's last time, and destroyed a good car-mounted heavy artillery battalion. I think Xirong Po will remember this lesson for a lifetime. Now he has such a big killer weapon in his hand, can he not protect it like a treasure? Even if we dispatch special forces, we may not even be able to find the shadow of heavy artillery."

The generals looked at each other and thought about it carefully. They had to admit that this was indeed a very possible thing. After all, Xirong Po was a commander with rich experience. He could suffer a loss in your hands, but he would never suffer the same loss in your hands.

Lu Ling scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

Qin Ning smiled and said to Lu Ling: "General Lu, don't be embarrassed. In fact, your opinion is already on the point. However, the enemy situation has changed. You should still observe more and consider the other party's thinking more. Don't fall into a self-centered way of thinking."

Qiu Wenhe said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, even if our army still has heavy artillery, it is still suppressed by the enemy's firepower. What if we use up all the shells?"

Qin Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Wenhe, your worries may become a reality. If we continue to fight like this, we will sooner or later face the situation where the enemy has sufficient artillery fire and we cannot fight back with heavy firepower. This is not an alarmist statement, nor is it something that may happen tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Qin Ning was extremely serious: "Everyone must be mentally prepared, that is, we will face an unprecedented difficult situation. Without material supplies, no solid defense, and even no reinforcements, we must fight the enemy for a long time in such an arduous situation!"

Qin Ning just said this, there were bursts of shouts and killing sounds outside Lingtu City. The Qin army outpost, who was responsible for observation, directly contacted Mu Xiongtian with communication equipment and asked for instructions on how to deal with it. (To be continued)
