Chapter 699 The helplessness of insufficient troops!
In fact, Wenren Jianyin's evaluation of Song Jue is still quite low.
However, no matter how high the evaluation is, Wenren Jianyin will never say it out loud, because it will only greatly damage the morale of his side.
Song Jue's strength is more than just brave enough to be matched by all men? He is simply invincible!
Fortunately, Song Jue was just a simple master, not even a general, and not even qualified to be ranked among the mainland's famous generals. That's why the countries in the mainland didn't pay much attention to him.
If Song Jue had some talent in commanding troops and could truly command an army, then with such strength, another Ye Nantian would appear in the Imperial Kingdom of Tongchen!
Moreover, it is also a killing version, directly meeting Ye Nantian who is fighting for the bayonet!
Such a possibility is simply terrifying to think about.
In the Lan Feng military camp, all the generals had gloomy expressions.
This battle is simply a shame and a great humiliation!
The opponent's force of over 100,000 people just rushed in and destroyed his tent which was dozens of miles away, only to be driven away by the opponent.
Even if I drink all the water from the five lakes and three rivers, it’s hard to wash away the shame on my face!
"The fault in this battle is not ours." Wenren Jianyin sighed: "It's not the army's fault either; the real combat power of their army is only meager, which is useless; but the arrow strength of each of their armies is
It was too tyrannical. Even for the two teams that we finally annihilated, we killed the two arrow leaders of the other team, but at the cost of six Tianyuan realm masters... This was caused by the power of the masters and their absolute strength.
Crushing! It can only be summed up in one sentence, a crime other than war!"
"Generals, don't worry about it." Wenren Jianyin smiled faintly: "Although their tactics are effective and terrifying, they are destined to be difficult to use repeatedly."
"Why is this?" a general asked in confusion.
"Because... they have few soldiers!" Wenren Chuchu answered this question: "They have made every effort and only have a total of 200,000 troops. No, they have less than 200,000 troops now. As for today's battle, for them,
Although the results are brilliant,...their number of casualties and casualties must be over 40%!"
"In other words, of the 100,000 troops that went out to fight today, at least 40,000 will stay with us forever!" Chu Chu, a man from Chu Wen, said coldly: "No matter how brave their generals are, they have lost at least 40,000 in one go."
The enemy's army of 200,000, well, it should be less than 160,000, how many times can it sustain such a battle?"
"This time, although we were defeated, miserably, the foundation of our camp has never been truly destroyed. Even if we come again several times, it will not be destroyed. Although our losses are greater, our losses are still high.
, but the other party absolutely cannot afford to lose!"
Wenren Chuchu said calmly.
"Yes, let's count the casualties. I want to know exactly how many people on the other side died in this battle!" Wenren Jianyin's eyes lit up.
…
In the city, the problem mentioned by Wenren Chuchu is also the problem that Ye Xiao has the most trouble with now.
Manpower is sometimes scarce!
Sometimes the manpower in this sentence not only refers to personal strength, but also means the number of heads!
This battle is a great victory!
An unprecedented victory!
At the same time, it can also be said to be a miracle.
With a force of 100,000 troops, they powerfully attacked the local enemy camp of more than one million people, but were able to return in triumph in the end.
In fact, the casualties were less than 40,000. No matter who it was, this was a massive success that cannot be ignored.
Not to mention that he was facing a peerless commander like Wen Ren Jian Yin, a famous mainland general. Being able to achieve such results would make Su Dingguo and Ye Nantian feel proud in person.
But at this moment, Ye Xiao was not proud, he was even very distressed, with a grimace on his face and a frown on his face.
This is really not a deliberate act or pretense——
The reason was very simple and simple. Marshal Ye found that he simply couldn't afford it.
In this battle, the enemy's losses were certainly extremely high. The loss of pure troops was at least three or four times that of our own side, not to mention the losses of grain, grass, supplies, strategic war preparations, and siege materials in this battle.
Equipment, etc.; however, even though the enemy suffered heavy losses, even though they really lost 100,000 or even 150,000 troops, their total strength still exceeded one million!
For Wenren Jianyin's current strength of 1.4 million troops, the loss of more than 100,000 troops and horses, although not a drop in the bucket and insignificant, is still irrelevant to the overall situation and has limited impact.
As for Ye Xiao, although he won a complete victory and only lost less than 40,000 people, his total military strength was only 180,000!
Even if he can continue to win like this, the final result will be that all the people on his side will be wiped out, and the other party... will lose how much in the end, 300,000, or 400,000, at most, it will not exceed five.
One hundred thousand!
Calculating the results and losses of this glorious battle, when Ye Xiao's entire army is finally exhausted, being able to defeat the opponent's army of 500,000 people is already the limit!
But at that time, I was the bare commander, but the opponent still had at least 800,000 troops, and he could still ride his horse and whip, and point his sword at the heart of Emperor Chen, the capital of Emperor Chen!
After reading the casualty report and making his mental calculations, looking at the troops with high morale and murderous intent, all of them with strong and proud faces, Ye Xiao could only smile bitterly in his heart.
"This result cannot be explained clearly to anyone. To say it clearly will only destroy the morale of our own people! Damn it... Even if you give me an army of 500,000, I can launch an offensive day and night in a similar way.
Little by little, we can weaken the opponent's spirit and demoralize the opponent, and then go on to completely defeat and defeat Wen Ren Jian Yin! But now I only have 180,000!"
"No, after today's battle, the number of combatable soldiers will be excluding the 38,000 people who died on the battlefield outside the city, and the 7,000 people who died defending the city inside the city, a sharp decrease of 45,000 people!"
"In other words, there are only 135,000 soldiers and horses on hand now! If we continue with this tactic, we can do it three more times at most. Even if all three times are great victories, we will still inevitably become the polished commander!
Really!"
Ye Xiao smiled bitterly: "What the hell is this?"
Song Jue and Zhu Chenggong were both veterans on the battlefield. How could they not see this? Regardless of being tired, they walked into Ye Xiao's handsome tent to discuss matters and planned to discuss countermeasures with him.
"It's still hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!" Regarding this point, Zhu Chenggong was so helpless that he collapsed.
"This is so frustrating. We obviously have an effective response strategy, and we have the basic strength to complete this strategy. We have a general charging into the battle. It can be said that we have more than 80% of the conditions to kill the enemy, but we lack the most inconvenient things in the past.
There will be a shortage of the most basic sources of troops! This kind of thing happened in the Chen Emperor Kingdom, which is simply unbelievable and unforgivable!"
Zhu Chenggong was so depressed that he almost hit the wall!
There was clearly a chance to avenge the commander-in-chief Wu Gonglie before him, but he failed because of such damn restrictions. Isn’t this frustrating?
