Of course, he also heard some good news, that is, the losses of the Ming army were quite large, and they also had an advantage in local battlefields.

But the problem is that our casualties are too great, and he dare not report this news. If he wants to let the superiors know that he has lost 5,000 people a day, he may have to change his position to someone else.

An idea flashed through Ruan Zhixiong's head, that is, to assemble all the troops and rush forward to fight the Ming people directly, but soon he shook his head. If he did this, he would not be able to hold on for even ten days.

These days he has also learned a little about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. As long as he dares to fight head-on with the Ming army, there will be at most two battles.

Those people have no strength to fight back. Although we have suffered a lot of losses, we still have a certain degree of autonomy. Compared with those defeated troops, we are somewhat lucky.

"Report to the general, we did not expect so many brothers to die in battle before, so what we prepared..."

A general under his command came to report, but he didn't finish his words, but Ruan Zhixiong also understood that what he said was that he had not prepared enough coffins, and that the army of any country would not prepare enough coffins when he went to the battlefield to fight.

This is clearly a depressing statement, but if the facts are placed here without a coffin, would it be possible to throw people directly into the pit? If they were seen by these living soldiers, it would have a great impact on morale.

"knew."

Ruan Zhixiong was unwilling to say anything more about this issue. He had already sent his subordinates to urge him, but there were not so many in the rear in a short period of time, and he lost 5,000 people a few days before the war started.

It is hard to believe for any country, not to mention that Ruan Zhixiong is still very famous in the entire Annan Kingdom. Everyone has great hope for him. Although he will not change the Ming army back in just a few days, he will never die in one day.

"Send someone to inform the rear immediately and ask them to send reinforcements to us. No matter what the reason is, if there are no reinforcements, we won't last long."

After Ruan Zhixiong returned to his tent, he suddenly issued this order. The people below were also a little at a loss. After fighting for two days, although our losses were quite large, we wouldn't ask for help immediately, right?

"General, should you think about this matter again? If you ask for help now, your reputation will be..."

A deputy general under his command said hesitantly, everyone knew that Ruan Zhixiong had a great desire and wanted to become the supreme military commander of Annan Kingdom in the future.

If reinforcements were needed now, his reputation would definitely be damaged. There were many people in the court waiting to see his jokes. Just asking for reinforcements, those people might start attacking.

Seeing this guy's flattery, Ruan Zhixiong was so angry that he was just a ignorant person. Such a person is just a life-and-death thing. What is going on now? Can't you even see it?

Five thousand casualties were injured in one day. If there were no reinforcements, how many days could we last? What's more, it would take at least ten days to run from the back.

Now that we ask for reinforcements, we have to make them move faster. If we reach the original speed, we can only collect the body.

"Subordinates obey the order."

Looking at Ruan Zhixiong's eyes, this guy immediately sweated all over. Although Ruan Zhixiong wanted reputation, he wanted more practical results, so what they just said was nonsense.

"In addition, some people were sent to arrest all the snake catchers in the surrounding villages. If anyone had antidotes on his hands, they would be escorted to the military camp. If someone dared to sell them to the Ming army privately, they would behead their whole family immediately."

Ruan Zhixiong was not a fool either. He knew that the snake venoms were the ones that brought casualties to the Ming army. If he continued to fight like this, the stored things in his army would definitely not be enough. He could only let the people below catch the poisonous snakes.

"General, should you consider this matter? There are many people living around you. There are only one or two people in each village who are good at catching snakes. If they are all gathered in our military camp, then the people in the village..."

Although there are many poisonous snakes in Annan Country, many local people die in the mouths of poisonous snakes, so there are one or two such snake catchers in each village.

If you find such a sarcastic tongue anywhere, you will ask them to help you. These people are living a good life, but if you gather all of these people in the army, then the safety of the village...

"It's simply a woman's kindness. The only thing we can threaten the Ming army now is snake venom, but our army has so much reserves. If we continue to fight like this, it will probably be gone in a few days. Even if the people in the village are bitten by snakes, will the whole village be bitten?"

Ruan Zhixiong said coldly. This guy understands more than anyone else. No matter how much the price is, it doesn’t matter, but if he can’t resist it, everyone here will become kingdom slaves.

"How are some traps and institutions in various places doing? Tell me that the soldiers below should not be afraid of fatigue or hardship. We are not on the same level as the Ming army. If you want to stop them, you have to start from these aspects."

Ruan Zhixiong also met some small leaders who came back, and they also reported on how the Ming soldiers were injured. These traps and mechanisms played a significant role, almost killing about 30% of the Ming soldiers.

"If you go back to the general, these traps and mechanisms are not made in one day. For example, some bows and arrows on big trees require several people to work for an afternoon, so it is impossible to increase too much in a short period of time."

What this guy is talking about is the most common mechanism in the mountains and forests. He pulls an inconspicuous rope on the road. When the Ming soldiers step on this rope, they will implicate a series of mechanisms, and then several poisonous arrows are shot around.

Under such an institution, at least hundreds of Ming soldiers lost their lives.
