In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Han reported to Xiao Chen the losses and gains of last night's battle. Although Xiao Chen knew that last night, the Beichen Army had won a big victory, but when he heard Zhang Han's report, he was still shocked.

In just one night, it was still a big victory for the Beichen army. However, the losses of the army were still very heavy, and the 120,000 troops in the large camp faced the attack of hundreds of thousands of Gaul* troops, and the casualties were not small. More than 30,000 people were killed and more than 20,000 were wounded.

The 15,000 cavalry under Ma Chao suffered the fewest casualties, losing less than 2,000 soldiers and horses. On the contrary, the 50,000 Beichen army led by Hua Rong suffered heavy casualties, losing 20,000 people in an ambush before, and then counterattacking the camp of the Gallic State, with a loss of more than 15,000 people.

Chen Zhi's 30,000 men also lost more than 5,000 people, all of whom were Gallic soldiers who fought back to the death.

In the overnight battle, although more than 200,000 Gallic soldiers were annihilated and captured, the casualties of the Beichen army also reached nearly 100,000 horses. It can be said that in this battle, the two armies actually won or lost.

Although the Gallic Kingdom lost half of its soldiers and horses, the Beichen Kingdom also lost half of its men. As for the burned grain and grass in Gaul, it is nothing at all, they are fighting on their own, do you think they will worry about the loss of a little grain and grass?

Definitely not, the grain and grass needed by hundreds of thousands of troops can be replenished again in minutes. The game of Beacon Century is made for those war maniacs, and the most important food and grass for marching and fighting will not be lacking in any player. All that's missing is the soldiers, and the huge population base.

And in ancient times, the interception of the enemy's grain route was a joke at all, so to speak, as long as you can't destroy the enemy's transport team, it won't take long for that person's family to replenish a large amount of grain and grass to the army immediately. Therefore, intercepting the enemy's grain route is not of much use at all, and the most useful thing is the superior troops, as well as the command and strategic layout of the generals.

The battle between the Beichen Kingdom and the Gaul Kingdom was indistinguishable, but on the whole, it was the Beichen Army that suffered a big loss. After all, in the previous battle, the Gallic State ate the 40,000 cavalry of the Beichen Army in one go. With only more than 100,000 infantry troops, in exchange for 40,000 iron cavalry from Beichen Kingdom, it is simply a good earning.

And after the first battle, the Northern Route Army in the Western Expedition of the Beichen Kingdom no longer had the motivation to advance.

200,000 horses, originally plus an army of 250,000 cavalry, there were less than 120,000 people left in one go. Facing the 200,000 troops under Joan of Arc, and perhaps the follow-up replenishment of the men, it is impossible for the Beichen Army to launch an attack at this time.

It was a great defeat, losing 200,000 horses and countless grains and grass. At this time, Joan of Arc will definitely not fight with the Beichen Army again. After all, these 200,000 troops, plus tens of thousands of horses in the national capital, were already the last elite troops of Gaul. The rest of the soldiers and horses were all recruits who had never been on the battlefield.

But the Beichen Army is different, according to the spies' report, the hundreds of thousands of people in front of them are just the soldiers and horses of the Beichen Kingdom's westward expedition. In the rest of the world, there are still two armies.

With more than 200,000 elites and more than 100,000 recruits, it is not enough for others to see in front of the Beichen Army. All you can do is defend the country's city. If you want to go out of the city to fight, that's impossible.

Who knows if the king of the world's first county country will be angry and directly stop the attack of the other two armies. So he mobilized the army to the north road and fought with his own troops. In that case, let alone defend the city, the capital will not be able to hold it, and then you will only have a dead end.

There is not enough army to support him, and even Joan of Arc, who is a top god general, does not dare to mess around. In this regard, Europe's famous generals are indeed not as good as those Chinese famous generals.

Of course, this is also the difference in the combat style of the two regions. Europe has always paid attention to the operation of large corps, and in their eyes, their own troops are not as large as the other side, so they will definitely not start a war easily.

But in China it's different, in China it's about strategy. No matter how many soldiers there are, as long as the other party is caught, it is absolutely a matter of doing nothing.

However, by the same token, in China, if a famous general wants to win a battle, it depends on the situation in the court. After all, China's officialdom is so much that as long as you win the battle, the court officials will definitely have people who speak ill of you.

The most typical are two super celebrities in ancient China, one Zhuge Liang and the other Yue Fei.

Zhuge Liang is not a cow, so he is naturally a top one. Except for the first Northern Expedition because Ma Tan fell into bad luck, which of the other five times did not beat Wei like a dog. As a result, as soon as a few people in the court gossiped and spent countless troops and financial resources to fight the territory, all of them were immediately returned to the Wei State.

Yue Fei was even more unlucky and met a traitor rarely seen in Chinese history. After decades, Jiankang was finally recovered, and it seems that Bianjing is about to be recovered. After that, the road was even smoother, and recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun was like a joke. As a result, Qin Hui said two words in the court, and all his ten years of skill fell short.

Therefore, in China's officialdom, winning a battle depends on whether the emperor lets you fight.

It is precisely as a result of this that there have been countless tragic celebrities in China, and at the same time, there have also been many famous super-. Winning more with less is commonplace, and no Chinese famous general can't do it.

The most famous is Bai Qi, the killing god of the Qin State!

At the beginning, there were more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the bloody battle was quite long. In the end, it was replaced by Zhao Kuo, so the first emperor gave an order, and hundreds of thousands of recruits were replenished. Yes, he immediately destroyed the hundreds of thousands of Zhao Elite under Zhao Kuo!

As for Zhao Kuo's talk on paper, it's all a joke!

You have seen a few soldiers on paper who lost hundreds of thousands of troops in World War I, and no matter how stupid Zhao Kuo is, he will definitely not know about the reserved soldiers and horses. But Zhao Guo's strength didn't give Zhao Kuo a chance at all!

Hundreds of thousands of Dazhao elites have run out of grain and grass, and they will have to starve to death in the camp sooner or later. Maybe there will be a bloody battle with the Qin State, and there will be a trace of vitality. As for the result of the bloody battle, Zhao Kuo didn't care.

At that time, what did you care, there was no food and grass, and 400,000 mouths were waiting to eat. Without a bloody battle, hundreds of thousands of troops may surrender directly to the Qin State without a fight. There may still be a chance to fight a game, and besides, even if you beat it, the result will be the same. Hundreds of thousands of elite Zhao will either starve to death or surrender, and Zhao Guo will not be able to do it.

That would be better than fighting to the death with the Qin State, not only with that slightest opportunity, but also with the glory of a soldier.

In the final analysis, Zhao Kuo's failure was still defeated by the strength of the country behind him.

The Qin State is a soldier in the whole country, and even the eggs of the recruits are directly sent to the battlefield, not to mention the grain and grass, there will definitely be no less. As for Zhao Guo, the top leaders of the country are more ruthless than the other, and the country's blood has long been drunk. Not to mention the recruits, there is no food and grass.

Those veterans and recruits were all dragged to the capital by the high-level of Zhao State to protect them. If it was, the high-level officials of the Zhao State at that time could throw out some things in their hands, and then raise the whole country's troops to fight a bloody battle with the Qin Dynasty. It doesn't matter who wins or who loses!

At that time, Zhao was the most powerful country except for Qin. And due to the continuous conquest of the Qin State, the vitality has also reached the bottom line, it can be said that as long as the Zhao State at that time supported Zhao Kuo with the strength of the whole country, Zhao Kuo was really likely to directly defeat Bai Qi. Thus, let King Zhao sit on the throne of the first emperor!

In this battle, the army of Beichen Guobei Road and the West Expedition no longer had the strength to fight again. Although there is still an army of 100,000 under the old wolf, there are countless recruits in the country who can rush to the battlefield at any time. But those can only be used as cannon fodder!

And after the real elite army of Beichen Kingdom lost these 100,000 horses and 40,000 cavalry, it was already seriously injured and broken. Especially the 40,000 iron horsemen, Xiao Chen almost died of distress.

The 100,000 iron horses that he finally formed plan to rely on the 100,000 iron horses to directly sweep the world. As a result, only 60,000 iron horsemen were left in the first battle. Even if the country is training cavalry with all its strength this month, it will only be able to restore the cavalry to 70,000 people.

Although the casualties of the infantry were greater than those of the cavalry, Xiao Chen was not worried. At the end of the day, it's easier to train infantry, and it's easier to become an elite. Hundreds of thousands of recruits were pulled out to fight a few big battles, and it didn't take long for hundreds of thousands of elites to come out.

As for things like the Konoe Association and the Feather Forest Association, it's a bit more difficult. That's the elite soldier who started with Xiao Chen and has experienced nearly 100 battles, big and small. If the losses are large, it will be much more difficult to replenish, especially now that the enemy facing the Beichen Kingdom is getting stronger and stronger. A large number of soldiers are killed in every battle, and if a soldier can survive ten bloody battles, it is already considered God's blessing.

In that great war, which numbered nearly a million people at every turn, even an elite veteran did not dare to say that he would survive. After all, that breath is a rain of tens of thousands of arrows, and even if you carry a shield, you will die accidentally.

The army suffered heavy casualties, so it was natural not to fight. And Joan of Arc didn't dare to fight, he still felt that his troops were insufficient to defend the city, so why would he go out to find the Beichen Army to consume troops.

The great war between the Kingdom of Beichen and the Kingdom of Gaul stopped in an instant. The armies of the two sides only met for half a day, and the bloody battle was only one night, and the two families were beaten in one breath and did not dare to come again. Nearly 300,000 people died, what kind of concept, it can be said that on that small battlefield, the corpses can be piled up in two or three layers.

Truce!

There must be a truce!

The Beichen Army needs to make a truce and wait for news from the remaining two armies. Once the offensive of the remaining two armies is successful, then a part of the troops and horses can be drawn to support the northern army. And Joan of Arc must also have a truce, waiting for the training of domestic recruits, and waiting for the arrival of the Beichen army again.

Perhaps, by the time the Beichen army arrives at the city again, the number of elite troops will exceed 400,000. At that time, if he didn't have an army of 300,000, he would have to abandon the dozens of surrounding cities and defend the area around the capital.

For a while, the situation on the entire North Road became calm. Both families were so casualties that no one dared to move. Both Gaul and Beichen tacitly began a truce in order to regain their strength and fight a decisive battle again.

Although the Northern Route Army has ceased fighting, the remaining two armies of the Beichen Kingdom have not stopped at all.

The 200,000 army led by Yun Qi was behind Luo Cheng's 50,000 cavalry buttocks, which was all the incense. Of course, this only refers to the 100,000 servants.

In the system of the Beichen* team, the servant army also enjoys military law. Merit, however, does count separately. In the servant army, beheading people, as long as there are enough of them, it is very simple to become a citizen of Beichen Kingdom. Aside from the head, the only place where the servant army can get war dividends is the city.

As long as a city is captured, each of the minions involved in the battle will receive ten copper plates. And the 100,000 servant army that followed Yun Qi did not fight at all, and easily obtained the dividends of nearly twenty cities. In other words, following Luo Cheng's ass, the 100,000 servant army picked up 200 copper plates for nothing.

Add to that the monthly salary of fifty copper plates, and that's two hundred and fifty copper plates. Don't underestimate these two hundred and fifty copper plates, you must know that the regular infantry of the Beichen Army is only five hundred copper plates per month. Of course, the regular army also has benefits, that is, as long as they grab the finances, they can keep half of it for themselves, and the servant army does not have this treatment.

The 100,000 servant army that followed Luo Cheng's ass gained huge benefits, and the tens of thousands of servant troops in the Southern Route Army naturally gained a lot. Even happier than the 100,000 servants along the way!

Li Zhaoliang led an army of nearly 100,000 people to attack along the coast by boat, and most of his subordinates were servant troops. Therefore, under the nourishment of nearly thirty cities, the morale of these tens of thousands of servant troops was higher than the other.

And those who followed Lin Hu were a little unlucky, and they had just successfully conquered dozens of cities when they encountered a super troublesome enemy.

According to the spies, the soldiers and horses in the city were on par with Lin Hu's army, and there were also more than 100,000 troops. Moreover, the enemy's army is not only comparable in number to its own 100,000 elites, but even the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not bad at all, and may even surpass itself.

So, Lin Hu was entangled. Fifty miles to the east of the forces of these three cities, a large camp was set up. I really don't dare to enter lightly, and the strength of others may surpass me. In addition, although he is also a veteran, after all, when the Beichen Army marched south, he destroyed nearly 10,000 people's troops.

If he accidentally lost these 100,000 horses, although he would not die, it would still be very difficult to lead his troops to fight in the future.

Therefore, Lin Hu was very clever and threw this problem to Li Zhaoliang. He is a top historical general, much stronger than himself. And as long as Li Zhaoliang joins him, the number of troops will definitely exceed 200,000. When the time comes, I will definitely not be afraid of the 100,000 enemy elites.

At the same time, Lin Hu also sent a letter to Yun Qi of the Middle Route Army and his own boss. Hoping that the two armies can support their own troops, 100,000 is comparable to the elite army of Beichen Kingdom, Lin Hu always feels that if he fights, his side will definitely lose.

Therefore, it is still very safe to send a letter to my boss. In all three letters, there is a reference to the same city name - Drifting Snow City!
