Chapter Seventy-Three: A Great Victory

To be able to write until now, to be honest, Maple Leaf himself feels incredible, I have opened several novels before, online games, magic, the shortest wrote more than 8,000 words, the longest wrote more than 30,000 words, only this one, written for more than four years, wrote 210,000 words, this crossing novel poured all my feelings, I believe I will persevere in writing, because there are many names of my friends who have been soldiers and some real character real experiences, and for the support of a few readers before it was published. Of course, there are more book friends now, and Maple Leaf will definitely do its best to write this book more and more exciting!

The battlefield had been cleaned and the corpses had been incinerated, but the strong smell of blood was still pervasive in the air, making people sick.

Da Zhao also suffered a lot of casualties, and after a few days of counting, the results were brilliant, but he also lost nearly two million troops. The Black Tiger Army has been disabled, less than one-fifth of them can survive, and the other troops are not much better, only the Dazhao soldiers killed on the city wall of Tianwolf Pass have reached 1.7 million giants, you must know that there are less than 1.6 million orcs who have successfully climbed the city wall, this is still in the case of taking advantage of the situation, the strength of the orcs can be imagined.

And the Xiao cavalry and the dragon soul because of their strong strength, coupled with the principle of preserving themselves and then destroying the enemy, almost all of them are "bullying the less with more, bullying the weak", the casualties are not too big, the Xiao cavalry army injured more than 2,000 people, more than 60 people died, the dragon soul injured more than 30 people, not a single death, let a squadron send the ashes of 65 dead soldiers back to Kyoto, the Xiao cavalry and the dragon soul iron cavalry also rested on the spot at Tianluo Pass, waiting for the border guards to change their guards.

At present, the troops of the Heavenly Wolf Pass plus the elven troops of the cavalry are only about four or five million, of which nearly three million soldiers are archers, and the foot soldiers are only about one million, this configuration is very dangerous, generally to maintain two or three million archers, more than three million foot soldiers, one or two million cavalry can perfectly defend this world's first male pass, even if there is no enemy situation, it must reach 1.5 million archers, two million foot soldiers, and a standing establishment of 500,000 cavalry, mainly orcs and rakshasas have a large number of air forces, and the speed is extremely fast。 Therefore, before the change of defense, the army did not dare to return to the DPRK.

These days, Lin Ruofeng's injuries have already healed, they are all flesh wounds, it's nothing, this time it is pure luck to be able to kill the golden lion, it is really thrilling to be able to kill him in such a small space, of course, the sixth-order master is not so invincible, the space on the city wall is extremely narrow, if it is on the open ground, with the high-speed movement ability of the dragon soul, there are Chen Gu and Lin Ruofeng, and in less than three minutes, the powerful dragon soul can capture him alive. In fact, even if 100,000 ordinary soldiers are not afraid of death, they can pile up an ordinary sixth-order master, because even a sixth-order orc powerhouse with amazing brute strength and thick skin cannot completely ignore ordinary soldiers, and the ending will be even more tragic after the strength is exhausted. Because the skin is thick and difficult to kill, it is often captured alive in the end, but the cost is too great, and it cannot be completed without sacrificing tens of thousands of soldiers to hold it.

Laliya's care for Chen Gu Lin Ruofeng also sees it in her eyes, don't look at Laliya is younger than Chen Gu on the surface, but she is actually more than two or three hundred years older than Chen Gu, and she is too old to be Chen Gu's great-great-grandmother, just because Chen Gu is her husband's only protégé, Lalia has no children, so she naturally subconsciously treats her as her child, Lin Ruofeng is naturally happy to see it, for this Lailia who fell in love with the Chinese without hesitation, for decades, or even hundreds of years in the future, Lin Ruofeng still admires it very much.

In his previous life, he saw too much separation, which once made Lin Ruofeng think that there was no love in the world, from movies, TV series, novels to classmates, friends, and comrades-in-arms in reality, how many breakups and divorces there were, and when they were bored, they would leave, and they would treat their feelings as a game.

After a few more days, Chen Gu's illness was also cured under the treatment of the natural mage and several miracle doctors. Because of everyone's care, Chen Gu was not pale and sickly after his illness, but was full of energy and red light, if it weren't for the persuasion of Lailiya and Lin Ruofeng, he would have been impatient to return to the army.

The border guards who changed their guard and the victorious Rouran Iron Cavalry arrived at the Wolf Pass at the same time, because the orcs have lost four million troops at present, and there are no two or three years to recover their vitality, and the Rakshasa has also suffered hundreds of thousands of cavalry, there are no orcs in front, and they dare not provoke Huaxia, so the wolf only needs to keep the standing army, and then transfer troops from the border guards if there is an enemy situation, the wolf pass is not like a city with a large population, and even it cannot be compared with some passes, because there are no people in the wolf pass, although the burden of defending the city is reduced so that the defenders have no worries, but it also causes unprecedented pressure on logistics and supplies, all military suppliesLin Ruofeng once roughly calculated that a person has to consume seven taels of rice a day, and a million troops will need 21 million catties and more than 10,000 tons a month, and it will cost 420,000 bags to fill a modern standard 25kg rice bag, and this is just a staple food, what about vegetables? What about weapons? What about dry food? What about the equipment for attacking and defending the city? What about military uniforms and armor? How terrifying, no wonder it is said that when the cannon fires ten thousand taels of gold, this is not measured with ten thousand taels of cannons.

In order to facilitate his own statistics, Lin Ruofeng once roughly estimated the value of gold and silver, one tael of gold = 10 taels of silver, one tael of silver = 10 copper coins, consistent copper coins = 1000 yuan, and the purchasing power of one penny is almost equivalent to the current one yuan (don't delve into these units of measurement, this is just some of the author's settings on the unit of measurement of coins, not necessarily following the laws of ancient history) after statistics 0.1 taels of gold = 1 tael of silver = 10 copper coins = 10,000 wen coins =10,000 yuan purchasing power, that is to say, if you maintain 8 million troops stationed for a year, then only 200,000 taels of silver will be consumed for rice, and 5% of military expenses will be used as a staple food The proportion is 4 million taels of silver, 400,000 taels of gold, this era is not like China in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there is a large amount of cash inflow from foreign countries, with the current capacity of the Great Zhao treasury, it is also a little difficult to support the garrison of the big Tianluo Pass, after the border guards and the garrison of the Tianluo Pass are replaced, Ye Lingyan stationed 1.5 million archers, 2 million foot soldiers, 500,000 Rouran iron cavalry, and the rest of the army returned to their respective places of origin, and the remaining 1.5 million Rouran iron cavalry was personally led by Ye Lingyan to return to Shuozhou to sit in the town, and after returning to the station, there was direct support from the army and the people, and the logistical pressure was much smaller。
