A sentence that is listened to by 100 people is likely to have at least fifty different ways of understanding.

Lao Luo's words were originally intended to improve the combat effectiveness of civilians, but they immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many people present, especially the stubborn old man Dou Mill, who likes to find fault the most, "Then according to General Luo's words, civilians and craftsmen are needed to participate in battles in wartime, and those soldiers eat rice?" I ......"

The stubborn old man Dou Mill's words really didn't like it, but Du Ne beside him was a person who understood, and he didn't want Dou Mill to make things stiff when he understood Lao Luo's intentions, so he immediately reached out and pulled the hem of Dou Mill's clothes, and the latter wanted to continue, but he had to stop.

The corners of Lao Luo's mouth twitched, not because he was angry, but because he thought that it was really difficult to reconcile, so he didn't wait for anyone else to say anything, "Okay, I'll go into more detail, the number of possible enemies in the future is estimated to be 150,000, so how many soldiers do we have?" Yesterday's statistics showed a total of 16,503 people, including 3,484 in the cavalry academy, 956 in the scout battalion, 11,568 in the remaining garrison battalion, and the rest in the military police and family guards of the Judge Advocate General's Office. ”

I always felt that there were quite a few troops in the whole team, but after hearing this statistic and the comparison between friend and foe, many people gasped.

At this time, you can see the difference between personal quality and courage, the stubborn old man Dou Mo didn't speak again, his face turned red, Stan and Gonzas and Cheng Shouru, Alke, Min Wenhou, Helton, Sidd Nord and other military people did not change in the slightest, Dunne, Li Nie and Annalia and Li Xuan were surprised - obviously they thought of the results of the previous battles in Mashhad and Herat, Li Zhan's courage was gone, his face was pale, and the Zhang family who was not far away was even more colorless, whispered to each other.

"That's a pretty damning ratio, isn't it?" Lao Luo looked at everyone's expressions, and didn't wait for anyone to ask, "Let's talk about the results of the battles in the past few months, from Shirfan to this small city of Kuzak, trivial skirmishes along the way, a total of more than 2,300 thieves or steppe bandits were killed, this is mainly the record of the scout battalion, the cavalry school was slightly involved, and then burned at least 11,000 enemies at one time in the Dhamgan Valley, this number is not accurate enough, but the people who went to clean the battlefield at that time saw the results, I still remember a lot of people who didn't eat for many days in a row......"

"Heh......" When it comes to victories, it's always comforting, even if it's a disgusting victory.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Rai City wasn't a battle that time, so the enemies who died that time don't count...... What expressions do you have? Lao Luo didn't wait for everyone to ask, and continued.

The expressions of horror and worry began to dissipate, and several guys who understood cause and effect looked at Lao Luo with a mocking expression, it was the killing in Rai City, and Lao Luo had the nickname of a butcher.

Lao Luo didn't bother to pay attention to everyone's banter expressions, and continued below, he didn't need to flip through the records, when it came to battles, he was more sensitive than anyone else. "After that, it was the battle between Mashhad and Herat around the Hari River some time ago, and many people saw the battle of the garrison camp on the Mashhad side, the number of enemies killed exceeded six thousand, and the number of fleeing cannot be calculated, but it is estimated that it will not exceed one thousand and five, this number is correct, right?"

"That's right, Lord! The enemy killed Mishm on the spot, and the enemies killed will only be more, not less! Cheng Shouru on the other side of the table answered.

"Well, I led the team on the Herat side, and the first battle was a night raid that knocked out the Turkmen general Abdu. Fifteen thousand men of Massoud, Abdul al-A. Massoud was killed on the spot, and very few escaped that night...... However, more than 300 of our soldiers were wounded that time, and the number of casualties exceeded 40 without counting minor injuries! "Speaking of facing Abdu. In the battle of Massoud, Lao Luo had both glory and sorrow.

The glory is because it was the first time that he Lao Luo led the team to face the enemy and kill, and when he was sad, twenty-three people were killed on the spot, and more than twenty were seriously injured and died after the battle, plus there were thirty or fifty people who were physically disabled because of injuries, unlike the loss of comrades who received orders from their superiors in later generations, this was a battle under his orders, but he couldn't help it, for the safety of the lives of everyone in the eastbound team, that battle was already the best result.

So after that in Herat, he chose to change the way he fought and provoked civil strife to wear down the enemy.

Some of the civilians present had heard the general situation of the battle, some of them only learned about it when Mashhad held a funeral for the dead, and most of them only knew some one-sidedness, and at this moment they heard Lao Luo talk about the specific number of that battle, they were inevitably a little sad, after all, most of the sacrifices were the descendants of the original Tang battalion, and they were the sons and nephews of many people here.

Empathizing with the commander of the cavalry school, Gonzas, hearing Lao Luo's words, of course he remembered his responsibility as a leading general.

At the moment, no one spoke.

After a while, Lao Luo calmed down for a while, and then said: "Because there are more injured people, I have adopted a trick tactic in the battle of Herat after that, so there is no need to go into details. In that battle, the wealthy merchants in Herat suffered heavy losses, and the six camps outside the city lost at least 24,000 men, a figure that was later discovered by the scout camp. ”

Although the details of the battle are not specified, the figure of 24,000 dead and wounded by the enemy is clearly heard by everyone, and this figure is almost miraculous. You must know that at that time, only the cavalry school and some scout battalions participated in the battle, and the total number of people did not exceed 3,000, which was equivalent to one-third of the number of people in the eastbound team.

Everyone at the meeting was a little shocked, including the Zhang family, who had been watching Lao Luo at the outermost level.

"The total number of kills in all previous battles is about 58,300, of course, this number can only be a generalization, and it is impossible to have an accurate number, what do you think?" The accumulated numbers were outlined on one side, and Lao Luo casually asked the people around him.

"It seems that in all the battles, the garrison battalion has not participated much?" The civilian elder Doune was as sharp as ever, and he grasped the staffing for the battle at the first time.

"That's right, the garrison must keep everyone in the team safe, so they can't move." Lao Luo grabbed the wooden cup on the table and took a sip of herbal tea, "In addition, because the soldiers of the garrison battalion are more suitable for defending the city, there is very little training in the tactical coordination of cavalry combat, so it is difficult to have a place to play. ”

"So, it's the civilians who are dragging their feet?" The content of this sentence was very harsh, and it came from Zhang Jiagoro Zhang Nuo, who was close to the wall and listened.

There was an uproar in the direction from which the voice came.

When Lao Luo looked over, he found that several people from the Zhang family were leaning against the wall and guarding a round couch and sitting together, Zhang Nuo was still the same as before, and his brother Zhang Lu's face was very unsightly.

"Hehe......" Lao Luo sneered, such a-stirring stick is indispensable at any time, shook his head, and continued: "The purpose of this team going east is to return to their hometown, not to fight, so it is not necessary to talk about civilians dragging their feet." The previous battles mentioned above only show that our combat strength is not bad, but if we face an enemy ten times our size, it is likely that all the soldiers will die on the battlefield, are you prepared for this? ”

No matter what the Zhang family Rusheng chooses, it will have no effect on Lao Luo, in fact, in this team, they have begun to be completely marginalized. So no one echoed their words at all, but Lao Luo's words caused a great repercussion - although the functions of the people in the team began to diverge, but the soldiers who resisted outside were their sons, nephews or relatives after all, who wants their family members to die in battle?

For a while, the entire West Hall was lively, and the sound of discussion was noisy.

There is no need to think about it at all, no one wants to see their relatives die tragically, the descendants of the Tang people who returned to the east are not lacking in blood, and the Han people who lost almost all the Han people who were reduced to slaves by other races in the later period are only one life, although the life is not very stable because of the road nowadays, but even in the process of traveling, these tens of thousands of horses have never lacked food and clothing, compared to the difficulty of migration they imagined, the current way back to their hometown is more like an outing.

Who brought all this?

Some people want to say that it is against their will that the warrior fights with his life, but this way of thinking really doesn't make sense, just the warrior's life can make everyone go all the way? Isn't it a miracle that no one has ever died because of the hardships of the journey for more than three months and thousands of miles?

There are a few people who died on the road, either because of illness, or because of undiscipline, eating things that are not allowed to eat go to places where they should not go, drinking raw water and getting seriously ill is good, and those who are bitten to death by poisonous snakes deserve bad luck, who is to blame?

Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and they will measure which is more important, and right and wrong, cause and effect are unpopular.

"Lord Luo, just say it, what to do, we listen to you!" Several well-informed people among the artisans and civilians who were present on the periphery shouted after the discussion was fruitless.

"That's right, isn't it training, if you don't have to work hard, you should eliminate the hip flesh on your body (1)......" a rough voice shouted.

"Haha......" A burst of laughter rippled.

Lao Luo accepted it when he saw it, and no longer waited for everyone to express his position, rang the clock again, and said: "It is said that everyone is allowed to participate in training, not to let everyone come forward with knives when they encounter the enemy, but just to let everyone know how to obey orders in wartime, and don't mess around." You must know that those who bravely move forward in wartime are not necessarily dead, and those who run for their lives are often chased and killed by the enemy! ”

"Lord Luo means to say...... Civilians and craftsmen need to know how to form a battle to protect themselves? "In the end, it is a descendant of the former craftsman battalion, and once Dou Miao, who has experienced the war, does not lose his temper, his mind is really fast.

"That's what it means!" Lao Luo nodded, "As I said just now, there may be a large number of enemies, once we are surrounded by the enemy, the soldiers rush to the front, and when the enemy takes advantage of the gap to enter, the civilians and craftsmen in the rear must not mess around, at least you must know to use the cart to besiege the city in a circle formation, and wave your hammer rolling pin!" ”

Lao Luo's previous words were serious, and the second half of the sentence reminded everyone of the past, and they immediately burst into laughter.
