Chapter 1072: Heavy losses
Gao Shun turned his head to look at Meng Naming and said: "The trapping camp is the trump card army of the Nanyan Kingdom, and the army that can fight against the trapping camp, in the entire Yuzhou, there are only those dynasties and the ace army of the imperial dynasty! Now we are dealing with the ordinary army of a small kingdom, can this result be regarded as good?"
"This ......"
Meng was stunned, but he didn't react.
"Don't forget, the equipment of our trapped camp is the best in the entire Southern Yan Kingdom. Pointing to the armor on the soldiers in the trapped camp next to him, Gao Shun said: "The armor on the soldiers in our trapped camp is made of fine iron and stone, which is indestructible, and ordinary arrows rain on us can't pose any threat to us at all." ”
"If it weren't for these armors, the previous wave of arrows from the crossbowmen of Dong Wuze's army would have fallen into our camp of 100,000 soldiers, how many would be left?"
"This ......"
Meng Naming's face changed slightly.
"Also, in addition, we also have three hundred Holy Exterminating Crossbows in our hands, which are great killing weapons that can shoot the Holy Venerable powerhouse with specially made crossbow arrows. ”
"Wearing armor made of fine iron and stone, holding the Holy Exterminating Crossbow in his hand, plus the trapping camp occupies the Yuanhong Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, now that you have achieved this result, you will begin to underestimate the enemy's main general?"
"The last general knows that he is wrong. Meng Naming replied urgently.
He has also reacted now, indeed, just as Gao Shun said, the trapping camp is the top of Yuzhou's top in terms of defensive preparation and offensive equipment.
It also occupies the Yuanhong Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it would be a joke if it faced an attack by two million troops of a kingdom in this situation, and it turned out to be heavy losses.
"It's good to know what you're wrong. ”
Gao Shun nodded, looked at Meng Naming, and said: "When the Meng family returned to His Majesty, His Majesty handed you over to me, and I was still a little repulsed in my heart, because every soldier I was trapped in the camp was personally selected by me and met my requirements. ”
"At that time, I took you in by His Majesty's order, but I didn't take you seriously in my heart. But then you changed my opinion through your own efforts, and I began to think that you are indeed capable and fit into the trap camp. ”
"Gradually, I began to appreciate you, and I am ready to train you, and when the time is right, I will introduce you to Your Majesty, and then you will have the opportunity to lead the army alone. ”
"However, if you want to be the commander of a single army, the first rule is to never underestimate any of your opponents, and never underestimate the enemy commanders you are facing. ”
"If you violate this principle, you will eventually be defeated, so I hope you will not have the idea of underestimating the enemy's commander next time. ”
"The last general remembers the general's teachings. Meng said respectfully.
He still understands that Gao Shun intends to cultivate him, otherwise he wouldn't be guilty of telling him this.
Gao Shun is still very satisfied with Meng Naming's attitude, which is why he is willing to cultivate Meng Naming, this young man does have the potential to become the main general of the First Army.
"Today, relying on the Yuanhong Pass and the equipment in our hands, we have achieved victory and repelled the enemy army, but it doesn't matter. ”
Looking at the direction of Dong Wuze's retreat with his troops, Gao Shun said: "When the army of the Liyang Dynasty arrives, if we can still achieve such results at such a small cost, then it is time to be excited." As for ...... now"
Gao Shun's eyes flashed, and he said, "If you really want to be excited, then you have to expand the victory a little." ”
"Extend the victory?"
Meng Naming was stunned for a moment, suddenly reacted, looked at Gao Shun incredulously, and exclaimed, "General, you mean to launch a night attack?"
"Hmm. Gao Shun nodded.
"This ......"
Meng Naming really didn't know what to say, and the general's courage was too great, and he actually wanted to launch a night attack.
You must know that the reason why the 100,000 trapped camp can win today is just like what he just said, relying on equipment and the Holy Destroying Crossbow, as well as the characteristics of Yuanhong Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Or, it's hard to say whether you can win.
Now if it is a night attack, there will be no Yuanhong Pass to rely on. In addition, the night attack requires fast speed, and it is difficult to bring the Holy Extermination Crossbow.
It is equivalent to the trapping camp losing two powerful boosts at once, in this case, once it is surrounded by Dong Wuze's army, it will take a lot of time to kill it.
But now the army of the Yang Dynasty is very close to the Yuanhong Pass, and it will be there tomorrow morning, in this case, if the trapping camp is too expensive, it will not be a good thing for the town to defend the Hongguan.
"I know you're worried, but you don't have to. ”
Gao Shun had a smile on his face and said, "You now lead the 50,000 trapped camp to immediately arrange the defense against the Liyang Dynasty army, I only need to take 50,000 people plus the flying demon beasts under the command of the Blood Eagle." ”
"Flying monsters?"
Meng was stunned for a moment, but suddenly reacted and said, "General, do you want to use the speed of the flying demon beast to launch a surprise attack on the enemy army?"
"Yes!"
Gao Shun nodded, looked up at the sky, and said, "The sky has completely darkened, and for the flying demon beast, it is a good opportunity to dispatch." ”
Meng Naming understood Gao Shun's thoughts, was overjoyed, and immediately said: "General, this method will definitely succeed, I am willing to be the leader of the troops." ”
"No, I personally led the troops in this night attack. ”
Gao Shun shook his head, for Blood Eagle, he was the general of the Southern Yan Kingdom, and it was personally arranged by His Majesty the Emperor, and Blood Eagle would listen to him.
But if it is changed to Meng Na's name, it is really hard to say whether Blood Eagle will ignore him.
Meng Naming didn't say anything anymore, and immediately went down to act according to Gao Shun's orders.
Gao Shun, on his side, ordered the soldiers trapped in the camp to carry three hundred Holy Exterminating Crossbows on their backs with the cooperation of the flying demon beasts, and fixed them at the same time, which would be of great use to the meeting.
......
In Dong Wuze's barracks, after he led the army back, he returned directly to the camp tent.
"General, the battle damage has been counted. Cui Zhenqi walked in from the outside, his face was very ugly.
"How many people were killed?" Dong Wuze asked with a calm face.
"One hundred and seventy thousand. ”
When he said this number, Cui Zhenqi's heart was dripping blood, it was one million and seven thousand elite soldiers!
He died under the Yuanhong Pass like this!
Miserable, miserable!
"It can't be!"
Dong Wuze was furious.
Staring at Cui Zhenqi, he shouted: "How can the army have more than one million killed? Do you think I didn't observe it when I was fighting? It is absolutely impossible to lose more than one million in battle!"
"Not only did more than a million soldiers die, but more than 30,000 of them were slightly wounded, more than 20,000 were seriously wounded, and there are now less than 900,000 troops available. Cui Zhenqi said in a low voice.
"I said, it can't be!"
"It's definitely a mistake in your calculations!"
