"Commander, Commander, the reconnaissance battalion has won!" The officers of the Mengshan Army, who were observing from afar on the mountain range, shouted excitedly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Victory is victory, but Yan Qiubai's command is problematic." Xu Lie said coldly.

"Commander, what's the problem, I think the reconnaissance battalion is like a rainbow!" Lou Ming, the commander of the guard battalion, defended Yan Qiubai, obviously these two guys had hooked up in private.

"Momentum? The typhoon is also like a rainbow, but unfortunately it comes and goes quickly! "There are no typhoons in Mengyin, but people on the Jiaodong Peninsula have never seen or heard of typhoons.

"The Commander has learned a lesson." Lou Ming suddenly felt that his problem of not going through the brain and casually not getting better, if so, wouldn't he have to suffer in the future?

Xu Lie didn't grasp Lou Ming's problem and continue to attack, but directly pointed out Yan Qiubai's command mistakes: "Yan Qiubai looked like a rainbow just now, but in fact, his brain was congested and he lost his ability to think, not only did he not have any tactical content, but even the previous tactical arrangements were all forgotten.

This shows that our commander is qualified to be a soldier, because he is not afraid of death! But to be a commander who commands dozens, hundreds, and thousands of soldiers, he is not qualified, because his brain is hot, and the result is very likely to be a large number of casualties among soldiers! ”

The nearly 100 commanders above the company level who were hidden on the top of the mountain were all silent and breathless, making a review in their hearts, and did not dare to say more. Because as soon as Xu Lie's words came out, everyone knew where Yan Qiubai's mistake was, and he, when he encountered that kind of situation, seemed to be very likely to come out impulsively.

"You should remember one thing, the Mengshan army has the advantages of training, equipment and ideology, and it is deeply loved by the people, so it is certain that the Mengshan army will win the battle! However, under such excellent conditions, it is not enough to win a battle, and we have one of the most basic requirements for fighting the enemy, that is, the battle loss ratio, that is, in a battle, we should look at the ratio of our own casualties to the enemy's casualties. Only those who find a way to minimize their losses are qualified commanders of the Mengshan Army! ”

Xu Lie took this opportunity to introduce a new theory: the battle loss ratio.

In all dynasties of the Dragon Kingdom, including the so-called outstanding military strategists, the high-ranking people did not take the lives of soldiers or civilians seriously, and in order to achieve victory, even if thousands of people were killed and wounded, much more than the enemy, they did not hesitate. This practice, which regards the people as ants and lives as grass and mustard, is a typical manifestation of the idea of officialdom in the era of imperial power.

However, Yan Qiubai, who was cleaning the battlefield on the official road, seemed to be aware of his impulse, so his performance after taking down the enemy showed the quality of a commander.

Some of them were armed with guns to maintain vigilance against the battlefield environment, especially the surveillance of the Qing soldiers after putting down their guns; Some of them drove the able-bodied captives to a fixed place; Others are responsible for collecting the spoils; Finally, some of them cooperated with the medical personnel to help our wounded and the enemy's wounded. The whole scene appeared to be quite orderly.

Confiscation of booty, including equipment, provisions, and personal belongings of deceased soldiers. Some people may say that the seizure of the personal belongings of the dead soldier is not humane, and Xu Lie has also reflected on this, but in the end Xu Lie still agrees with the confiscation, although Xu Lie cannot say that he is a materialist, but at least he is not superstitious. It is the right of the victor to confiscate the belongings carried by the dead soldiers, whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign.

For example, for the war dead at or above the level of guerrilla generals, their personal belongings will not be confiscated or treated as trophies of soldiers, and some items with special commemorative significance will be kept by the Mengshan Army in a unified manner, and may be returned to the families of the victims when the families of the victims come to contact them. As for the ordinary silver and silver tickets, etc., no matter who it is, as long as it is collected, it will naturally become the spoils of the Mengshan Army, and the soldiers, officers, and the Mengshan Army team must participate in the distribution.

The dead enemy soldiers were buried on the spot, the living and lightly wounded prisoners were all escorted away, and the seriously wounded prisoners were still in place after a simple bandaging treatment on the spot, waiting for the Qing army to come and deal with them.

For the seriously injured captives, Xu Lie could have sent them back to Mengyin for treatment, but the problem was that Xu Lie's manpower was limited, and besides, Xu Lie did not want to disclose the advanced medicines from the original time and space that Xu Lie had in the Mengyin base for the time being. Not to mention that these captives are the people of Mengshan, and they cannot fully enjoy the advanced medical technology of the Mengshan Army.

Two hours after the battle ended, the second group of scouts sent by Nie Shicheng finally found the seriously wounded Wu Yi Army soldiers at the scene of the battle, and at the same time learned that the forward battalion had been wiped out by an unknown force, and almost instantly.

"What, the Striker Battalion is wiped out?" And when Nie Shicheng heard the news, almost another two hours had passed. The army was less than ten miles away from the battlefield of the previous engagement. But in addition to hearing the news, Nie Shicheng reacted more violently, and then calmed down.

Nie Shicheng remembered the folk rumors he had heard.

In fact, there have always been two theories about the news of the Mengyin giant bandits.

One is the imperial court's statement, there are tens of thousands of bandits gathered in Mengyin, occupying the mountain as the king, and the harm is very fierce, and the governor Zhang Rumei and the envoy Si Yuxian are both planted in Si. This statement highlights the great strength of the bandits in order to cover up the incompetence of the imperial court officials and soldiers.

Another theory is a folk saying, saying that the number of Mengyin bandits is not large, but the guns are sharp, the skills are high, and they are accompanied by gods.

After repeatedly questioning the detectives, Nie Shicheng gradually believed the folk saying, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Mengyin giant bandits was absolutely strong, and from the fact that the Mengyin giant bandits were able to ambush their own forward battalion north of Laiwu, at least it showed that the first Mengyin giant bandits' intelligence was very well-informed, and they knew that there was a large army in the imperial court to suppress them; The second is that the strength is stronger than in the past, last time it was an army of 10,000 people who ambushed Zhang Rumei in Mengyin, and now they dare to come to the north of Laiwu to ambush their own 100,000 army.

But according to the seriously wounded, the giant bandits who participated in the ambush were only about 500 people, and Nie Shicheng didn't believe it, he felt that even if the Mengyin giant bandit was very powerful, if he wanted to defeat the Wuyi army with the same strength, he probably couldn't, not to mention that the Mengyin giant bandit also had to consider issues such as a quick battle.

I have to say that Nie Shicheng was able to leave a great reputation in history, and he was not mixed up, his analysis is really reasonable, and some problems can be seen from a small ambush. But Nie Shicheng is only a beautiful man of this era after all, his vision is still limited by the times, and at the same time, he still has an illusory confidence in his Wu Yijun.

In history, Nie Shicheng was killed by artillery in the Battle of Tianjin in the Gengzi Incident, and he could be regarded as experiencing the power of the artillery of modern European and American powers, but Nie Shicheng only experienced it half a time before he died.

"My lord, what shall we do?" The adjutant had been waiting for Nie Shicheng to make a decision.
