Text: The Great Power Battle_Chapter 392 The News of Victory
"Report, Prime Minister Qiqi, the king's messenger has arrived outside the mansion!" A small servant walked into Xun Yu's study and reported.
"Huh? The King's Messenger? Xun Yu paused for a moment, and hurriedly said again: "Quick, please come in immediately!" ”
"No!"
After a while, a soldier with more than a dozen blood-red gauze wrapped around his body walked into Xun Yu's study. This man was the commander of the cavalry of that squad, and the wounds on his body were left during the final breakout. Of the more than ten people in the team, less than half survived. No one thought that seeing that they were about to arrive in China, in just a hundred miles, this team with a heavy responsibility was attacked by hundreds of undead. It is impossible to say that the undead were premeditated, after all, those undead did not die chasing after themselves, the main character. In other words, they were not very lucky, and they happened to meet a remnant of the undead who were hanging out.
Let's not talk about these for the time being, although I was not lightly injured, but fortunately I completed the character.
"See the prime minister!"
"You were sent by the king, so what letter does the king have?"
The officer untied the golden package on his back and handed it to the desk in front of Xun Yu.
Xun Yu hurriedly opened it, and what appeared in his eyes was a wrapped holy decree. Xun Yu quickly read the content on it, and then said, "Okay, you go down to recuperate first." The things that the king explained, I will prepare for it in a while! ”
"No! Retire from your duties! The officer answered, and then exited the study.
Xun Yu picked up the holy decree again and glanced at it, and then shouted outside. After hearing Xun Yu's shout, a little servant hurriedly entered the study.
"You go out of the house, let Chen Shangshu from the military department invite you over, and you have important matters to discuss."
"No!"
————————————————————————
Chen Gong is now the secretary of the Beichen Kingdom's military department, although for such a military department, Chen Gong didn't understand what kind of institution it was at first. But it didn't take long for Chen Gong to completely figure out what the military department was, wasn't it just a group of staff members huddled together to discuss the battle plan. Of course, the role of the military department is not only to serve military staff, but also to draw military maps and sand tables, as well as to be responsible for the logistics and supply of combat units. It's a lot, but it's really trivial for Chen Gong.
There are many high-achieving students in the military academy who are stuffed into their own military departments, and most of the battle plans are formulated by them, and they make their own evaluations at the end. There is no need to work logistics, if you even need to calculate what is in the warehouse and how many things you have, then Beichen Kingdom will be finished. Drawing a map is not as good as the military department, the scouts of the combat army have already drawn the map when they are on the front line, and then send a simulated copy to the military department, which is responsible for connecting these fragments of maps together.
At this time, Chen Gong was walking on the road to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and just now a servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion came to look for him. said that Xun Yu had something to discuss with him, and he also took out Xun Yu's seal. Although I don't know what Xun Yuzao is doing at this time, Chen Gong still went. The army in front of him is fighting, and even if he is very busy dispatching supplies, he has to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Besides, it just so happens that I also need to find the Prime Minister for something. There is not much food and grass in the logistics department of the military department, so I have to ask the prime minister for some.
Soon, Chen Gong walked quickly into the front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"See Chen Shangshu, the Prime Minister has been waiting for a long time, Shang Shu, please!" The old housekeeper in the Prime Minister's Mansion had already waited for the arrival of Chen Palace in front of the mansion gate in accordance with Xun Yu's instructions.
"Yes!" Chen Gong nodded and followed the old butler into the mansion.

"Gongtai, you first look at the letter from the king and tell me what you think!" Xun Yu handed the silk cloth in his hand to Chen Gong and said.
Chen Gong opened it, frowned and said, "The king wants fire oil?" ”
"That's right, I just ask you, how much fire oil is still in stock now!" Xun Yu nodded and asked directly.
"It's not much, when the army set off before, they took all the fire oil in the warehouse. Now that the war has only been going on for a few months, the newly collected fire oil is only 30,000 barrels, which may not be enough for the king's needs! ”
"It's okay, it's just 30,000 barrels. The king's letter stated that the war had entered its final stage, and that we must support it, whether it was enough or not. Immediately mobilize the necessary wagons, equip them with four horses, and gallop on the road, all the wagons transporting the oil to give way, and transport them as fast as possible. ”
"No problem, I'll arrange it!"
"Yes, good!"

"Report, the camp twenty miles south of the line asks for support!"
A knight galloped across Yue Fei's command platform and shouted loudly.
Yue Fei frowned, it was the southern front again, and this was the first time he had asked for support from the southern front. However, there is no way, and there are three camp gates that have been breached in dozens of miles of camps on the southern line. The army of the undead no longer needed to climb the ten-meter-high camp wall, but directly attacked the broken camp gate. In the face of this kind of fighting style of the undead army, let alone Yue Fei, even Long Ye, who has received such a high military education in the real society, has no temper at all.
People use human lives to pile up, and they can only keep sending people to pile up. The veterans in the camp had already suffered heavy casualties, and now the only ones who could be sent over were the militiamen who had been fighting for a few days. Although the combat effectiveness of these militias is not very strong, and the battle formation is not good, the combat effectiveness of the individual militia is quite acceptable. And after a few days of such fierce fighting, if you have time to train the battle formation, you are definitely an elite soldier.
The exquisite armor of the Beichen Army gave all the officers and men of the Beichen Army who were desperately in front of them a lot of confidence. Don't dare to say anything else, as long as those ordinary undead are not split on their faces, most of them are fine. Even if you cut the helmet, you will be dizzy for a while at most, and it will not rot in half. Of course, in the face of the White Bone Legion in the army of the undead, the Allied soldiers were also miserable.
In addition to the Bone Legion, the elite skeleton soldiers in the army of the undead are also a headache. Although the combat effectiveness of these elite skeletons is no different from that of ordinary skeletons, their equipment is still very good. Especially after resurrection, they still have the equipment they had before they died in battle. Iron armor, bows and arrows, iron knives, and Changge, about 30 percent of them were completely the combat equipment of the Beichen Kingdom's standing army a few years ago.
With a good weapon, the combat effectiveness of the skeleton is not improved by one or two points. Fortunately, the Undead Nation has not yet been promoted to an empire, otherwise if they can develop their own undead equipment and corpse trebuchets, the 20 million people of Beichen Kingdom and Xia Kingdom are estimated to be not enough.
On the hundred-mile-wide battlefield, the battle was still raging, and millions of Allied soldiers used their weapons to chop skeletons into pieces. Similarly, under the attack of the Sea of the Undead, the casualties of the Allied soldiers were even more heavy. If you really want to fight for the combat effectiveness of the army, the Allied soldiers are indeed not the opponent of the undead army, it does not depend on the number of them. If it weren't for the fact that Beichen Kingdom had a Taoist army and a monk heavy armor army, the allied camp might have been breached a long time ago.
Even so, the losses of the Allies were heavy, especially the level of material consumption. Needless to say, arrows are consumed in tens of millions of arrows every day. If the battle is very fierce and consumes hundreds of millions, it is normal. The second is the talisman seal of the Dao Legion, and now only half of the soldiers of the Dao Legion are supporting back and forth on the edge of each battle, and the other half is making talisman seals with all their might.
The Dao Soldier Fu Seal is already the most important material for the Allied forces at present. If it wasn't for a particularly urgent situation, Yue Fei would hardly let the Dao soldiers use the talisman. I'd rather let the monk army go to support than be reluctant to use it. But even so, there are only tens of millions of talismans in the hands of the allies now. Even if it can kill millions or tens of millions of undead now, it will be useless for the entire battle. After all, the death of eighteen million undead is really nothing to them who still maintain the number of 40 million.
The fire oil was now directly transferred away by Xiao Chen, and the fire a while ago was indeed happy, but almost eighty percent of the fire oil in stock was used, which was really a bit of a waste. Now, Xiao Chen has gathered all the last 50,000 barrels of oil. This is the key to whether the Allies can turn the tables and counterattack, if the scouts can send the letter back home, maybe the victory will be on their side.
The battle in the southern camp was over, and it was still dark, but the army of the undead had receded like a tide. This kind of offensive and defensive battle has been going on for more than half a month, and the allies have gradually become accustomed to the scene of being attacked by the undead every day. It was not as fierce as it had been at the beginning of the battle, and there were no heavy casualties on either side in those two days. The armies of both sides were already tired of fighting, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired.
From the first day of the war, the Allies lost millions of troops. The next day was even worse than the previous day, then the third day, then the fourth day... I don't know when the number of combat casualties slowly decreased from a million on the first day to a mere tens of thousands. Especially in the offensive of the past two days, the offensive strength of the undead army has become even smaller, and only the idle and idle suddenly gave the allies a dose of fierce medicine, and the elite of more than 100,000 rushed to rush, but all of them were wiped out instantly by the Beichen army.
After more than ten days of fighting, the casualties of the Allied forces finally reached tens of millions. The number of dead alone is as high as 6.83 million, including more than 3 million elite soldiers from the two countries. There were more than 3 million wounded, not to mention the more than 100,000 lightly injured, and there were almost no slightly injured people in the wounded barracks. Because minor injuries were bandaged, they reappeared on the front line.
Every day, Xiao Chen would go to the wounded barracks to take a look, not only for show, but also to know the intensity of the battle. As early as ten days ago, Yue Fei had already forbidden Xiao Chen to appear on the front line of the battle. In Yue Fei's words, as long as the king's dragon flag is planted in front, it is enough. If the king appears on the battlefield, it will only distract everyone.
Within the hundred-mile-long camp, the wounded barracks alone are twenty miles long, and this is the fifth time that the wounded barracks have been expanded. Inside and outside the tents were all seriously wounded soldiers lying and moaning, and the doctors in the troops were simply too busy. Millions of wounded soldiers, even if Hua Tuo comes, it is estimated that he will have a headache and do not know what to do.
Two soldiers carried stretchers and walked past countless wounded soldiers lying on the ground. The soldier on the stretcher was dead, his right arm hanging lifelessly from the side of the stretcher, swaying back and forth as the stretcher swayed. The soldier's abdomen was fatally wounded, a wound more than 20 centimeters long, and his intestines had overflowed. The soldier's pale face, a pair of tiger eyes stared at the sky, as if complaining about why God let him die so early.
Even Xiao Chen, who had already seen countless corpses, looked at the intestines hanging on the soldier's armor, and his stomach was churning. This should be a seriously wounded soldier who has just been brought back from the front line, and the battle has just ended, and the Allies finally have time to rescue the wounded. It's just that the soldier's injuries are so serious that he has almost just been carried to the wounded barracks, and before the doctor can stitch up the wound for him, he can't stand it anymore.
This soldier may also be lucky, because there are more people in the wounded barracks who are worse than him. There are hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers with stumps and broken arms, and they are even more miserable when they can survive with their arms and legs. Even, Xiao Chen had seen a more seriously wounded soldier a few days ago, and his neck was cut open when he was half-stretched, and he was stunned. Until the wounded soldier was still screaming in the barracks, the doctor only bandaged the soldier. This wound is too heavy to be worth wasting any more precious herbs.
It's not that I don't cherish life, even if that kind of wound is healed with medicine, it will definitely not last for a month. Let's not talk about the environmental sanitation here, will it be a wound infection, just the half of the neck has been cut off, and no one will think that it will survive. There were enough medicines to save the lives of several wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs.
However, the wounded soldier actually survived, bandaged the wound and stopped the bleeding. Even Xiao Chen wondered if this game still had a fantasy system function, of course, it was just an illusion to come back to life. The next day the soldier died, unable to breathe and suffocating. No one can explain why the soldier could still breathe and scream at the time of treatment, but after treatment, he would suffocate to death.
War is like this, in the past half a month, Xiao Chen has seen enough.
The war may be coming to an end.......
Xiao Chen looked back at the group of allied soldiers behind him, and buried the bamboo pipes with the thickness of his arms more than ten centimeters underground. All the stuff in it is fire oil, and this hundred-mile camp is the burial place that I prepared for the army of the undead!
