The report of one's own battle losses in the battle was quickly counted, and it has always been not difficult to count one's own battle losses in wars, as long as the officers at all levels count the number of soldiers under their command and then report them level by level to get a rough battle damage report.

However, it is difficult to calculate accurate data on the enemy's battle losses, and battlefield casualties are not simply counting the number of corpses, because many corpses in the battle are mutilated, and the statisticians are not. Puzzle master', naturally it is impossible to spend effort on each corpse to assemble correctly, and the winning side does not have to spend so much manpower and material resources to splice the corpse, this is a battlefield of tens of thousands of people, there are corpses everywhere, if you really confirm them one by one, in the absence of modern tools to assist, the workload is very scary.

Therefore, the officers of the Taiping Army only estimated the extent of the losses of the other side based on the approximate number of the fleeing Lithuanian aristocratic coalition army, and at the end of the battle, the Lithuanian army was no longer organized and could no longer hinder the subsequent military operations of the Taiping army.

This is the weakness of the feudal army, once all the investment has a large-scale collapse, it will be difficult to recover the loss, which may be almost in the unified dynasty, the rout of the army because of the unified court, as long as you want to continue to eat military rations, you will basically flee to the rear of the local government to report to continue to be a soldier, so that the court can collect the rout and reorganize the army.

However, the army of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania is a collection of men and horses of various lords, mercenaries and even militia units, etc., not to mention the complex composition, but also under its own lordship, which may be unified in wartime through the coordination of the upper nobles, but in case of defeat and collapse, it will be even more difficult to regain it.

Just like the rout of the Lithuanian aristocratic coalition this time, most of the rout soldiers subconsciously fled to their respective territories or hometowns, and those mercenaries who worked for money and stragglers may not even be able to find a figure......

This is one of the reasons for the slow pace of warfare in this era, often after a decisive battle, it takes a long time for both sides to regroup their forces and launch a new campaign, unless the victorious side has minimal losses.

Of course, for Hong Tiancheng, it is not necessary to know the specific number of battle losses of the Lithuanian aristocratic coalition army, but only to know how much resistance the enemy still has, which is not difficult.

The second is their own battle damage report, according to the information compiled by Zhao Remnant, in this battle, the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army of 6 full regiments lost more than 2,500 people, most of whom were killed in the confrontation with the Lithuanian cavalry, among which the Taiping infantry regiment arranged in the first line suffered particularly serious losses, and the death rate of the middle and lower-level officers standing in the first place exceeded eighty percent.

Finally, in the post-war reorganization of the Taiping Army, due to the lack of a large number of officers and the attrition of soldiers, the infantry regiment was forced to ban the formation and incorporate into the other five Taiping Army infantry regiments with little battle damage.

After all, the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army received exactly the same military training in terms of 'faith' and combat philosophy, and they only needed to get to know each other and train briefly to be pulled into the battlefield.

In addition to the battle losses of the Taiping Army headquarters, the veteran Russian new army musketeers under Hong Tiancheng can be said to be wiped out, and in the campaign commanded by Hong Tiancheng, the favorite thing to do is to put the lottery mercenaries whose loyalty fluctuates and also need military pay or 'special' materials to maintain morale at the forefront, of course, in this battle, the senior Russian new army musketeers were slapped on the front line, facing the three waves of the Lithuanian cavalry.

These veteran Russian new army musketeers are not the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army whose morale is always full, their combat ability may be good, but the courage to fear life and death is at most at the same level as the Lithuanian knights and noble private soldiers...... Crashed!

In the all-out war system, the collapse and willingness to surrender of the system lottery troops, in fact, is equivalent to giving up the loyal belief and personality cult of Hong Tiancheng, naturally, it was eliminated from the list of armies of the all-out war system, Hong Tian became the bottom limit to maintain the morale of these mercenaries, and also publicly issued a clear military order - any desertion on the battlefield will be punished by death!

After the war, the Swedish dragoons captured dozens of veteran Russian new army musketeers who looked panicked and didn't even know where to throw their weapons, and executed them in public, because Hong Tiancheng found that the faith in the spirit of these surviving deserters Lao Maozi had completely collapsed, and he had lost the courage to continue fighting, and the shadow of war and death had defeated their courage as a qualified warrior, and at the same time, he also felt a little dissatisfied with Hong Tiancheng, who sent them to the death Shura field!

Hong Tiancheng is not bad for the service of these dozens of deserters, so naturally he will not leave these hidden dangers under his command to continue to raise them, in order to warn the 500 Swedish dragoons, these dozens of senior Russian new army musketeers deserters have become the targets of execution.

In fact, hundreds of Russian senior new army musketeers on the battlefield only collapsed until this battle loss ratio, and they are already worthy of the treatment given by Hong Tiancheng, and the Russian senior new army musketeers will be regarded as the real core elite in any country in the 17th century, but there is only harm if there is a comparison, compared with the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army who fought to the last man, the performance of the Russian senior new army musketeers naturally has to be dealt with seriously!

Strict military discipline is also a necessary prerequisite for maintaining the combat effectiveness of the army, why was the Soviet Union during World War II able to launch a deadly offensive under the command of the political commissar?

And not the inhumane punishment of deserters in the Soviet Union?

One person is a deserter, and the whole family is a 'traitor', this is the invincible magic weapon of the Soviet Red Army, as for the behavior of the machine gun supervision team and the political commissar holding the gun in the back, it is just the implementation of this policy.

It is precisely because of this that the Soviet Red Army would rather die in battle, and once surrendered, the psychological defense line collapsed extremely quickly, because surrender meant a complete change in the political nature of him and his family, and naturally there was no need to continue to be loyal to the country......
