Deputy Marshal Ma Liming soon came to the center of the room, and Shen Mengting, as the marshal, moved to the side very familiarly.

Seeing that these two marshals cooperated so tacitly, Zhao Yu couldn't help but tilt his head.

Did they know each other before? Or did they have a good relationship in the first place? Zhao Yu's heart was suddenly in a reverie.

Of course, he is more of a loss in his heart at the moment. After all, he was still unconscious in bed at the moment when his partners called the army to the front. Fortunately, he also made some contribution, that is, dragged his tired body to find the whereabouts of the document.

Doctor Jiang Jingwen praised Zhao Yu before coming here, saying that it was his help that made the king and other bloody men in Qingcheng officially set the national [river crab] policy as a tough resistance to foreign enemies.

So to this day, Zhao Yu is still happy in his heart. He thought that he finally had a little use, and that he wasn't the kind of waste that pulled his legs out.

Continuing to pay attention to the actions of Deputy Marshal Ma Liming, Zhao Yu also made his sitting posture more correct. He knew what was going on, but it had a lot to do with marching and fighting, which was why he listened so carefully.

Since we are going to war with other countries, it is the most important thing to count our troops.

After Ma Liming stood still, a long lament rang out. I saw him turn around and look down at Shen Mengting who was diagonally behind.

"Marshal Ma! Say whatever you want! We're all ready!"

Hearing Shen Mengting's sincerity, Ma Liming officially moved his mouth. But before that, he still wandered around almost everyone.

"You don't have to be too nervous, everything is already a foregone conclusion! No matter how nervous we are, we can't change the balance of strength between the two sides!" As if trying to appease something, Ma Liming's tone was a little subdued, "Are you right?"

Without waiting for everyone's nod, the deputy marshal moved his lips again, "Okay! Then let me talk about the comparison of the strength of the two armies!"

Coughing softly, Lieutenant Marshal Ma Liming reached for the 'Peripheral Simulation Thumbnail' on the table in front of him. He first found the location of the Yokoga military camp, which was where they were currently located.

"We initially had a total of 8,000 guards at the Yokoga barracks!" was what Vice Marshal Ma Liming was saying, and everyone knew about it.

When he first came to the Yokoga military camp, Wang Bin, the general stationed here, had already honestly reported the situation. With the Sauron Empire so threatening, the most important guard camp only had eight thousand soldiers, which was a bit uncomfortable.

Of course, there are still people in the room who don't know the original number of people stationed in this military camp, Lin Mingyuan, Jiang Jingwen and Zhao Yu are examples.

"Ah, eight thousand, what, only eight thousand soldiers?" Jiang Jingwen couldn't help but vomit.

"Well, the number of Yokoga barracks is really not too large. In recent years, the compromisers have been in charge, and they are simply unwilling to spend the army [River Crab] fee to recruit the army, so our military resources in Salan have always been very tight!"

"Regent Lin Mingyuan is right!" Ma Liming agreed, "But although I knew that there would not be many actual troops here, it is really unbelievable to me that it is like this!"

Moreover, even if the quantity is eight thousand, the quality is also not flattering. When it came to war before, they were all greedy for life and afraid of death and wanted to escape! Shen Mengting vigorously recalled the battle and conflict that had just taken place.

"But there's no point in talking about this now! a small number is a small amount, and we can only try our best to make up for the disadvantage in terms of numbers now!" Lin Mingyuan clasped his palms together and raised them slightly forward. He seems to be praying for something, and he also has the sense of speaking to other worlds.

Zhao Yu didn't understand the specific meaning of that action, but judging from the old regent's constantly moving mouth, he should be talking to someone.

And Shen Mengting, who was in the distance, saw through his thoughts at a glance: "Uncle Lin Mingyuan! You are talking to my father and Uncle Yang Jiening! You want to tell them, who no longer exist in the world, how bastards those compromisers are." By the way, I will also report peace to them, at least for now, our country has not been completely eaten by Sauron!"

Shen Mengting's eyes revealed a bit of sadness, and she herself was trying her best to keep inhaling snot.

"The Lord Regent is right! now is not the time to feel that there are few troops, and even if you stop and sigh, there is no point. Let's move on to the next topic!" said Ma Liming, looking around again.

At the same time, his hand began to continuously release the small red flags next to him to the location of the military camp in the simulated scene. He roughly put four red flags, which means 8,000 troops.

However, there are differences in this flag. They have a total of three square shapes as well as a triangular style flag. The reason why this is so, Ma Liming has his intentions.

The square flag represents a soldier by profession as a swordsman, while the triangle represents an archer soldier.

"Of the eight thousand soldiers, the vast majority were swordsmen!six thousand swordsmen and two thousand archers!" he then explained his intentions verbally.

After hearing this, everyone nodded slowly, and most of them still agreed with Ma Liming's careful division of arms.

Judging from the information reported by Ma Liming so far, the original strength of the Yokoga military camp was: 6,000 swordsmen and 2,000 archers, a total of 8,000 soldiers.

"And what about the troops we bring with us after that!" Ma Liming stretched out his hand to the small red flag next to him. It's just that he didn't immediately pick up the flag this time, but kept muttering, "On the orders of the king, we rushed to the Yokoga military camp from Qingcheng. And then the forces we brought with us were ......"

His eyes were rolling in his sockets, and he was counting whether the number was correct. After thinking about it for about two or three seconds, he released the numbers.

"The king gave us a total of six thousand troops, and all of them are swordsmen!" may not be sure of the exact number, Ma Liming also turned his head and looked at Shen Mengting.

"Well, it's six thousand, that's right, because the situation was too urgent at that time, and the king could only pull the soldiers from between his teeth!" replied Shen Mengting with her arms folded.

"That means ......," Ma Liming officially moved his arms at this time, "when we arrived in this Yokoga barracks, there were six thousand more soldiers here!"

Ma Liming placed three small red square flags in the barracks, adding them to the previous ones, which meant that there were a total of fourteen thousand guards in this place.

That's a pretty impressive number!" Zhao Yu thought as he touched his chin.

"Now you all know the number!Until Sauron attacked us, we had roughly fourteen thousand troops on guard!" said Ma Liming propped his hands onto the table.

"Fourteen thousand is nothing to the Sauron Empire, but for our Saran Kingdom, it is a very large army!" Shen Mengting finally lowered her arms and began to move forward, "So you must not have the idea that the country is unwilling to provide us with troops." You know, it's hard for Saran to pull out an army of 50,000!"

"Well, Marshal Shen is right! I am really very satisfied to be able to command more than 10,000 troops!"

"Ahh His hand was still raised, constantly touching the five dexterous fingers. He seemed to be calculating something, as evidenced by the close flick of his fingers, "I have a question to ask! So...... How many people did Sauron have in that sneak attack yesterday?"

Qian Hao was shaking his head sharply, he just wanted to be able to take in the looks of everyone present, "Ahh

"No, Qian Hao! You're not bad at all! This is actually the point!" Shen Mengting rarely praised Qian Hao.

This made Qian Hao's heart feel a little happy, and he had to secretly cover his mouth and laugh secretly. But in front of so many people, he naturally still has to show his true colors as a general. Therefore, he tried his best to maintain an upright sitting posture, and he also made the appearance of listening carefully.

Shen Mengting came directly to Ma Liming's side, and the two marshals, one positive and one negative, stood side by side, "Sauron's sneak attack definitely only used a small part of their strength. I guessed that the other general's commander must have thought that we had just arrived here and wanted to make a deadly sneak attack while we were not gaining a firm foothold. So, Sauron's soldiers are almost all cavalry, haven't you noticed that?"

"Ahh

Zhao Yu also quietly began to recall the scene at that time, but because he joined later, he couldn't recall the whole picture of the battlefield.

"Since they're all cavalry, there won't be too many of them!, I guess...... Well...... It may not exceed 5,000! Ah! Maybe it will be less than 3,000! In short, there should still be more than 2,000!" Shen Mengting still has a natural intuition about observing the number of troops with the naked eye.

"Wow! That is to say, the enemy has only used less than 5,000 soldiers to defeat our 14,000 soldiers and horses here!" General Wang Bin grabbed the top of his head in surprise.

"That's right!That's the case!" Shen Mengting straightened up helplessly.

At the beginning of Sauron's sneak attack, almost all of Saran's troops were already in a state of collapse. It was not easy for Shen Mengting to take the lead in reviving the situation, but when the two armies were fighting, the situation deteriorated rapidly as if it were one-sided.

Saran's soldiers were no match for Sauron's side at all, and they were almost one-sided slaughter [River Crabs]! Fortunately, Saran still had an advantage in numbers, so he was not defeated in the first place. However, the subsequent battle situation was also very unoptimistic, and there were several times when Shen Mengting herself fell into endless difficulties.

And just when Shen Mengting thought that Saran's defeat was decided, the decisive reinforcements rushed here. It was an army led by the regent Lin Mingyuan himself, and it was also mixed with almost all the strength of the Qing city to resist the invaders of Sauron. That's why there are a lot of magicians and healers in it.

It was precisely because of the sudden influx of reinforcements that Shen Mengting's side came out of the catastrophe of annihilation and embarked on the road of repelling Sauron's sneak attack.

"That's the way it is! I really want to thank these people who came to help us!" Shen Mengting nodded to the other three new joiners.

"Ahh......h

"You don't have to say that! This is actually what we should do! Your Majesty sent us here just to help you! After all, you have already confronted the Sauron Empire!" Lin Mingyuan sank down and looked at Shen Mengting closely.

Shen Mengting could understand her intentions, and the amplitude of her nod was even greater, "Well, I understand, I understand, but ......" Suddenly, her eyes looked straight ahead, "But this also exposes the disadvantages of our army!"

Everyone was a little stunned by Shen Mengting's words full of warnings.

"Huh, what's wrong?" asked Ma Liming, tilting his head.

"We had fourteen thousand soldiers on our side, but the enemy had less than five thousand. It can be said that we really have an absolute advantage in numbers. But when it comes to fighting, it is full of disadvantages. In the end, we relied on the new reinforcements to repel the locality. Other words...... We used a total of 14,000 troops, and then we added a lot of new reinforcements to barely push the enemy back!"

This is what Shen Mengting has always been worried about, and it is also the reason why she has never been happy about yesterday's victory. If the enemy only comes to their senses and uses a number of troops that are inferior to their own, how can they defend themselves?

Shen Mengting's heart has been beating all the time, and the rest of the people are also like palpitations.

Ma Liming's eyes began to pan rapidly again, and he looked at almost everyone again. Soon after, his throat moved as if he had made a declaration, "Let me tell me about the number of new reinforcements!"

"According to the inventory of all the small branches, the regent Lin Mingyuan has brought a total of 15,000 men and horses this time! Among them, 10,000 swordsmen occupy it, and the other 5,000 are 3,000 magicians and 2,000 doctors!"

"Oh! The inventory is really careful and meticulous! Vice Marshal Ma Liming, it's really hard for you!" Lin Mingyuan couldn't help but say a word of admiration to him. Because along the way, he patronized the road, and he never even found out the specific strength.

"Alas!" Ma Liming immediately waved his arm again, "Don't say that!

"Well, in other words, before yesterday's decisive battle, we actually had ...... Twenty-nine thousand! Wow...... That's almost 30,000!" Qian Hao's mouth was made into a circle, which was enough to show how surprised he was at the moment.

"That's right, it's almost 30,000 troops!" But Shen Mengting's gaze was a little empty.

She thought that with almost 30,000 troops, she could barely repel an enemy, who might not be even 5,000! This is not a glorious victory! She sighed deeply.

"But that's good!" Shen Junle stood up, his face turning into a grinning state. And as he stood up, the whole atmosphere around him became lively.

Shen Jun has this kind of ability, which can enliven the silent atmosphere. He himself actually looked funny enough, and his curled hair seemed to have become more like a rushing iron pine after the baptism of war.

However, now is not the time to laugh, so except for Qian Hao, almost none of the people present have cooperated with the male swordsman who 'has horns on his head'.

"Huh?" Shen Jun shrunk his neck as if he was suffocated when he saw this, "Hey, what are you doing? Don't we have an army of 30,000?" He suddenly stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of the deputy third, "Thirty thousand! The number is thirty thousand! Are you still not happy?"

"It's a pity!General Shen Jun!" Ma Liming replied disdainfully with a gesture of twitching the corners of his mouth, "We don't actually have the number of 30,000. And...... After the war with Sauron, we have already lost some of our brothers!"

Listening to Ma Liming's words, Shen Mengting realized a fact. Although they repelled the enemy, they paid a lot of price for themselves.

"Vice Marshal Ma Liming, our battle ......" Shen Mengting's tone was a little messy, "How many brothers have we lost?"

Ma Liming looked deeply at the female marshal who was already showing a sad state of mind, "This ......" He himself was also affected, causing a sour feeling in his chest to spread, "A total of three thousand people have been killed!

Hearing the words 'three thousand', Shen Mengting thought she was relieved. However, she knew that if it was intuitively expressed, it would also be very out of place. Helpless, she could only shrug her shoulders slightly to express her condolences to her deceased brothers.

Moreover, 3,000 is indeed not a number to celebrate. Of the 14,000 that we had, 3,000 troops were lost, which was almost a fifth.

Of course, there is another point worth being wary of, three thousand are just dead soldiers, among whom there are a large number of wounded. If it weren't for the fact that there were considerable doctors in the reinforcements, who quickly came to heal the wounded, it is estimated that the number of soldiers killed in this battle would have doubled.

Shen Mengting lowered her head and thought.

"So how many soldiers do we have here now?" Qian Hao asked again.

Ma Liming turned his head away, almost forming a face-to-face posture with him, "Let me tell you all about it!"

"There were originally 8,000 soldiers in the Yokoga barracks! We brought 6,000 soldiers and horses, that is, 14,000! Later, the regent Lin Mingyuan came to the aid of 15,000 soldiers. But, after a war with the enemy, we lost another three thousand brothers!"

"So that is to say, now we have ...... here A total of 26,000 soldiers and horses!"
