Chapter Seventy-One: Layout

Handing the token to Ni Tao, Chen Zhen said with a smile: "This is the token sent by Wei Gong." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info can mobilize 6,000 guards only if there is this thing, since the general is not in the army, then this thing will be handed over to the general for safekeeping. ”

"It's fine. On this trip, there is Lord Lao Chen. After taking the token, Ni Tao returned the salute with a smile on his face: "Alcohol is taboo in the army, if Shangqing does not dislike it, please stay in this army for one night?" ”

The general laughed, Chen Zhen was a down-and-out person, thanks to the general's support, what kind of dislike can he say. It's just a few days of travel, I'm afraid there is no one in the palace, and I have to rush back here. This time I won't stay much, if he is flawed in the future, the general must follow the general to the lower mansion to talk about it. ”

"Okay, with Lord Shangqing's words, I won't stay much in the next place, it's late at night, be careful all the way."

The cold wind outside the house blew, not to mention the people, even the horses roared from time to time.

"Wei Gong didn't disappoint this time, guarding this piece of meat on the side of his mouth, Da Wei didn't know how much he broke his heart." After sending Chen Zhen away, Ni Tao returned to the tent and looked at the sign in his hand and talked to himself.

At this moment, a thousand people lifted the curtain of the tent with a cold air, and walked in with a gust of cold wind.

"General, the number of dead has been counted, please take a look." Walking to Ni Tao's side, the thousand people will stretch out their hands to present a report.

Putting away the token, Ni Tao stretched out his hand to take the report and opened it and looked at it, "There are 3,724 dead soldiers in our army?" More than 4,800 South Korean troops were killed! ”

Looking at that number, the shocked look on Ni Tao's face lasted for a while, "Why, there are so many?" ”

The voice was soft as if talking to himself, and even he couldn't believe the numbers, nearly 4,000 people were killed, and the wounded were definitely 4,000.

"This, this list was counted after cleaning up the battlefield outside the city just now." In the end, it seemed that he was afraid that Ni Tao would still not believe it, and added: "It is the head of the last general and the other two people who personally pointed out." You can't go wrong! ”

"Got it." Nodding his head, Ni Tao slowly closed the report.

Both sides of that battle were chaotic, and neither side was good at it. It is obvious that the Wei army is defending. Moreover, the South Korean army was obviously completely out of formation when it charged.

The front army assaulted too quickly, and the small fish-scale phalanx behind could not catch up.

The four phalanxes of the front army of the Han army were 3,000 people, and these 3,000 people were simply given away for nothing, but even if they were added, the soldiers killed by the Han army were only 1,000 more than the Wei army.

This is the most direct data that proves it all.

It was not until this time that Ni Tao finally knew why Wu Ming had to choose to let the few recruits go out of the city to fight at this time. Flowers can only grow if they have truly experienced wind and rain, like weeds standing tall on the edge of a cliff. Not afraid of wind and rain, not afraid of the sun.

Wildflowers hiding under big trees may be more beautiful, but they can't withstand the real wind and rain. The experience of real combat is the most direct and effective way for a soldier to grow.

It was only at this time that he realized how dangerous it was for him to rashly attack with 10,000 chariots in the battle to guard Hexi when he first decided to stay and follow Wu Ming. After all, at that time, the Linjin Pass was full of recruits who had not been defending the city for a long time.

Although it is a bit cruel to let the soldiers grow in this way, everything has to be paid. Wei is located in the land of four wars, and without strong troops, it is difficult to gain a foothold in this troubled era.

Fortunately, at present, Wei Gong has already sent troops, although there are only 6,000 foot soldiers, and 4,000 are archers, but no matter how small the number is, it is still a helper, isn't it? The current state of Wei has no choice and no choice.

According to Wu Ming's meaning, the army had to go out of the city to set up a battle twice. Of course, it is said to be a battle, but it is actually a defense, and the main thing is to let these new recruits eliminate the fear of blood in their hearts as soon as possible.

In a way, this also has the meaning of one life and two years of maturity. After all, many people are confused for the first time, and it is easy to say if they are naturally bold. Some of the cowardly may have only hid in the army, and I am afraid that they have not even looked at the battle in front of them.

This second time is to be able to understand a little more, so that some soldiers will not be frightened once and leave a shadow in their hearts.

Fortunately, with Wei Gong's 6,000 foot soldiers, plus 10,000 troops hidden fifty miles behind Yicheng, even if the Han army ordered a fierce attack.

When the time comes, he will collect his troops, and at a position five miles outside the city, the army will retreat sharply and can enter the city in less than half an hour. Immediately after defending the city and waiting for reinforcements, the army that was waiting for fifty miles to arrive may be able to directly swallow all the Korean troops.

Thinking of this, Ni Tao's heart was quiet. He faintly began to admire Wu Ming's layout and budgeting ability.

"What's going on outside the South Gate now?" Retracting his thoughts, the blurred color in Ni Tao's eyes disappeared in an instant. Looking at the thousand generals, Lang asked loudly.

"The bodies of the fallen soldiers have been buried, all the names have been registered, and more than 14,500 arrows have been collected in the battle, half of which can be reused, and the rest need to be restored. There are more than 4,000 spears, long ges and other weapons, but the head of the bull has been slackened and needs to be repaired. There are also 8,000 pairs of armor that can be used. ”

After a big war, a lot of materials and manpower were consumed. If we all rely on new things, we will never be able to do it with our current productivity.

Especially in terms of armor, the battles in this era had little to do with force, so half of the two armies fought directly with the weapons in their hands to kill each other, or were killed by the other side. Cut the sharp weapon directly on the body, so the armor is consumed quickly.

The consumption of a war is absolutely astronomical, and what should be recovered after the war will naturally have to be recovered.

Listening to the report that was not bad, Ni Tao's face finally became a little more relaxed, and most of the armor could be intact, which was also a great phenomenon.

Nodding slightly, Ni Tao said to the thousand generals again: "It's late at night, let the army rest well after the arrangements are completed." In addition, the soldiers defending the city have been changed from two teams to three teams to rotate, so that everyone will not be too tired. ”

"Yes." Bow your head and bow your hands, and the thousand people will stride out after the pass.

At this time, Ni Tao turned to the outside of the camp tent and shouted, "Someone." ”

Hearing the shout, a guard outside the camp turned around and walked in, kneeling on one knee in front of Ni Tao respectfully, "See the general." ”

"Well, you take the general's token, go to the military camp fifty miles away, notify the guard Zhao Chen, let them take precautions around them, and send more scouts to pay attention to the situation here. If there is a situation, be sure to rush over as soon as possible. ”

"Yes." Take the token, and the guard will pass immediately. Turning around, he strode out of the tent.
