Motoshi Toyama. Prime Minister's Office.

The afternoon sun shines through the open windows and beautifully patterned lattices on the blue tiles of the war room, illuminating the interior of the room: the paperweight on the table, the dust behind the chairs, and the sand surface of the green bricks......

In the empty war room, maps are hung on the walls. There are overall maps of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, maps of Bingzhou, maps of Changshan, and local maps of various counties. And on the map of each county, on the city wall marked with the direction of each city gate, the troop configuration of our army; There was also a situation of the deployment of enemy forces outside the city.

The battle of Changshan Kingdom began with Yan Liang's vanguard arriving outside Lingshou County, and now a full ten days have passed, and since the Black Mountain Army began to climb the mountain in Jingcheng County and Shangai County, the tragic battle has been counted for three full days.

All the cities are still in the hands of our army, but the casualties from all sides are shocking!

Frankly speaking, the Yuan family's elite soldiers and elite weapons were all within the expectations of Ye Teng and Tianma City's civil and military forces, but the Black Mountain Army's tactics of being so fearless of death were beyond their expectations.

They did underestimate Zhang Yan and the Black Mountain Army's determination to win the battle for the Yuan family; underestimated Zhang Yan's ruthlessness in not taking human life seriously; Underestimating the possible brutality of the forces that can be used to gain superiority.

I always feel that even if I attack the city, I always have to have complete equipment and control casualties, but the approach of the Montenegrin Army is equivalent to directly telling Ye Teng: Lao Tzu has many people and can afford to die!

"Lord, the Wei family's attack in Pingjian County has slowed down since this morning. In the morning, the attack of the four gates was changed to the attack of the south gate, and after lunch, even the attack of the south gate was a bit of an errand! After Chen Ping got the latest battlefield information, he hurriedly came in from outside the door and reported to Ye Teng.

Jinyiwei's battlefield information transmission is efficient, often from the front of the city through the flying pigeon to send information, to Chen Ping to receive the information, and then to Ye Teng, generally no more than three hours.

"Is there any battle damage assessment data for both sides?" Ye Teng asked.

"Yes. Since the beginning of the war, the Wei family's army has lost no less than 200,000 casualties, of which more than 10,000 are junior special troops; More than 60,000 soldiers have been killed in battle, including more than 3,000 junior special troops; The approximate casualty ratio on both sides was close to 4:1. Chen Ping came to these data as soon as he opened his mouth, and he had the demeanor of a professional staff officer.

"Well, that's normal! What about the casualties in the trapped camp? Ye Teng's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see the activities in his heart.

"Not much, less than a hundred!" Chen Pingdao.

"Hmmm! Do you have any updates on other cities? Ye Teng asked again.

"Yes! The intensity of the attack of the Montenegrin Army in Shangai County is similar to that of Lingshou County, and the Montenegrin Army also uses the tactic of crowd and has suffered the same heavy casualties so far.

"As of noon today, the soldiers killed in the Montenegrin Army in Shangai County are all ordinary soldiers, estimated to exceed 500,000; The number of dead in our defenders was about 90,000, including 4,000 junior special troops.

"The number of dead in the Montenegrin Army in Jingcheng County is about 600,000, and all of them are ordinary soldiers; The number of dead in our defenders is about 100,000, including 6,000 junior special troops.

"Among the fallen soldiers of the defenders of these two counties, more than eight have become allied forces, not the forces of our Tianma City."

"The exchange ratio between the Black Mountain Army and the Family Army and ours is not much different?" Chen Gong had a little doubt on his face.

"The main reason is that although the Montenegrin army has neither the elite of the family army nor the high-end siege equipment, but his wave of tactics can easily allow him to enter the city, so there are more face-to-face battles on the head of the city than the family army!" Chen Ping replied.

There was silence at the scene, and the number of casualties far exceeded the original estimate. Although the main attack of the Montenegrin army is mainly based on allies, the city that was originally thought to be as stable as Mount Tai now seems to be a bit precarious.

The development of the war seems to have entered the rhythm of wanting to pit the Yuan family and the Wei family, but instead pit themselves. If this is the case, will it not become a laughing stock?

Ye Teng thought for a moment and said, "What does Feng Xiao think?" ”

Guo Jia still has a calm appearance with a light breeze:

"The Montenegrin army divided its troops into two cities, surrounded Jingcheng County and Shangai County, and as soon as it came up, it was attached to the siege of the city, the tactics of the sea of people, and the attack on the whole line, which seemed to be amazing, but as the saying goes, it is not long enough, but it is not enough to be afraid!

"The reason why they use such tactics is because they underestimate us. According to the convention, the garrison strength of a county town in Dahan is basically 100,000 to 300,000 ordinary troops, so they mistakenly think that a million troops will be able to level a county town as soon as they rush up.

"However, how can our troop deployment in the two county towns be broken in a day or two? If converted into third-order combat power, the army we garrisoned in the two cities is also millions.

"How can millions of armies surrounded by the four gates not fight the trapped beasts? So we can basically conclude that our defenders in the city, even if more than fifty percent are killed, will not collapse! And according to the exchange ratio between the enemy and us, if our casualties reach 50%, the enemy should be dead.

"And the Montenegrin army, which was originally scattered on various hills and resembled a rabble, as long as the casualties exceeded two or three percent, even if it did not give up the siege immediately, it would be demoralized and exhausted, and there would not be much courage left to attack the city.

"So don't worry about it, after months of careful preparation on our side, the mobilization of almost all the elites of my Pegasus City forces, and the strong support of our allies, how can it be easily put into water?"

Guo Jia said that the feather fan shook lightly and took a sip of wine.

"What does the military advisor mean that we just look at it and do nothing?" Chen Ping asked with doubts.

"This depends on the meaning of the lord, our original intention of arranging the battle of Changshan is to fundamentally change our strategic situation, cripple the Yuan family, Wei family, and eliminate the hidden dangers of the Montenegrin army in the backyard.

"If we don't change our original intention, although the war is fierce at this time, as long as we continue to watch and wait for the most suitable time to strike a fatal blow, it will not be difficult to achieve our original intention.

"If this is the case, the number of casualties will be distressing, both for us and for our allies. Of course, you will also get a large number of merit points, and the strength of the soldiers who survive from the battlefield will be raised to a higher level.

"If the lord can't bear it, he can also launch an attack on the old nest fort of Yuan and Wei in advance, or he can directly attack the Montenegrin army on the front line, so they will definitely withdraw their troops in advance, which can reduce the casualties of the armies on both sides, of course, the original intention of our arrangement of this strategy, the degree of completion will inevitably be greatly reduced."

Ye Teng thought about it again and again, hammered the table with his right fist, gritted his teeth and said, "Then wait a little longer!" Jinyiwei must always pay attention to the changes on the front line, especially the casualty figures, and report them every half a day! ”

"No!" Jia Xu and Chen Ping hugged their fists and promised.
