Chapter 177: Bulgan casualty statistics
Lin Ruofeng soon found Ye Ling Yan in Bulgan City, Ye Ling Yan was visiting the wounded, this time the Bulgan Great Zhao Expeditionary Army won a great victory, but he also paid a considerable price.
In this battle, the casualties of the cavalry of the Great Zhao Praetorian Guard were not too large because they had been responsible for the feint, more than 2,000 were killed and more than 3,000 were wounded, plus more than 20,000 casualties in Bayan Zhuoer City, and more than 470,000 of the more than 500,000 Praetorian Guard cavalry before the expedition remained. (The number of casualties in the war actually refers to the sum of the number of casualties plus the number of people who are seriously injured and cannot participate in the battle for a short time, so the number of casualties does not actually mean that it is the number of casualties, of course, it is also possible for the seriously injured to be converted into casualties, so from ancient times to the present, the number of casualties is counted in general wars, not the number of casualties.) )
Rouran cavalry is the main force of this war, although the combat effectiveness is higher than the cavalry of the Praetorian Guard, but because it has always been a hard attack task, the casualties are much greater than the Janissaries, according to post-war statistics, the Rouran Iron Cavalry has a total of more than 51,000 killed, more than 32,000 wounded, the loss is very strict, the night Ling is dripping blood, this casualty is also unbearable for Rouran, plus more than 50,000 casualties before the convergence of the army, now there are only more than 1.87 million of the more than 2 million iron cavalry and combat effectiveness left, and the combat effectiveness of more than 120,000 is lost, which is almost the total number of field troops under Lin Ruofeng。
The casualties of the lightning iron cavalry are not small, the 200,000 lightning iron cavalry has been responsible for blocking the 800,000 Rakshasa soldiers of the right battalion, and the commander of the right battalion behind has sensed that something is wrong, and desperately impacted the defense line of the lightning iron cavalry blockade, so even if the lightning iron cavalry is strong. The average strength is the third order primary. It was only a little lower than the third-order peak of the Xiao Cavalry Army. But there were still a lot of casualties, more than 5,000 cavalry were killed before and after, and more than 4,000 cavalry were wounded, which was also a very terrible casualty for the lightning cavalry, you know, before the expeditionary force converged, the lightning cavalry only suffered more than 3,000 casualties even if it served as the vanguard of the whole army, a total of more than 12,000 casualties. For 200,000 such elite lightning riders, it was really a very hard battle.
The casualties of the field army under Lin Ruofeng are relatively few, whether it is attacking Bulgan City or breaking through the military camp in Rakshasa, Lin Ruofeng's field army is not the main attacking force, and occupies the upper hand of the conspiracy, the Rakshasa soldiers rushed to the battle, and they could not cause too many casualties to Lin Ruofeng's field army, which is why Lin Ruofeng took the initiative to lead the field army to storm the left camp, the casualties of the field army were too small, Lin Ruofeng did not want Rouran or the generals and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard to be dissatisfied with the Xiao cavalry, so Lin Ruofeng was attacking this left campWhen he was "hard-headed", he relied on his own troop superiority to take on this task. Convince other allies. Of course, when attacking the Zuo battalion, due to Lin Ruofeng's "artillery coverage" and "artillery coordination". The resistance of the Rakshasa soldiers also failed to pose much of a threat to Lin Ruofeng's field army.
However, despite this, Lin Ruofeng's field army was not without casualties, on the contrary, although the friendly troops felt that the casualties of the Xiao Cavalry were so small that people thought they were dazzled, but they still felt distressed by Lin Ruofeng, more than 450 people were killed, more than 200 people were injured, plus more than 650 casualties in Bayan Zhuoer City before, the casualties of the Xiao Cavalry Army also exceeded 1,000, although the medical conditions of the Xiao Cavalry Army were not generally terrifying, but in the end, I am afraid that it would have to be reduced by 1,000 people, although Lin Ruofeng was psychologically prepared, but it was still painful, fortunately, in this battle of Bulgan City, the Dragon Soul Iron Cavalry almost never encountered a head-on collision with a super master, and it was terrifying to maintain zero casualties, which made Lin Ruofeng feel a lot more relieved, and also made Ye Lingyan stunned.
Since the expedition, the expeditionary force has suffered a total of more than 170,000 casualties, more than 170,000 people, the number is relatively large, but the proportion of more than 2.8 million troops is not too large, not even one-tenth, it is a very successful campaign, mainly because the Great Zhao Expeditionary Force was taken by surprise, coupled with the proper command of Ye Lingyan, the Great Zhao Expeditionary Army was rarely calculated and led by heavy casualties, and the name of Ye Lingyan's peerless famous general was not blown away.
The gains of this expeditionary force are still quite large, plus the battle of Bulgan City, the Great Zhao Expeditionary Force killed more than 3.2 million Rakshasa soldiers and captured more than 1 million Rakshasa soldiers, and the casualty ratio reached an astonishing 1:20, it can be regarded as invincible, invincible, you know, in fact, the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides is not too big, the operation of the Great Zhao Expeditionary Force this time can be described as quite successful, if it usually reached this Cheng Dù would have been able to return to the dynasty with a beautiful class, and now it is close to the Wolf Juxu Mountain where Huo Qu was sick and sealed the wolf Juxu.
However, the current situation does not allow the Great Zhao Expeditionary Force to retreat now, the Rakshasa has not been disabled, and the Rakshasa who has only lost more than 4 million border guards has not lost its offensive ability, and the Rakshasa has more than 12 million standing combat troops, including more than 5 million cavalry, more than 3 million mages, and more than 3 million infantry. Coupled with the support of their reserve local troops, they still have at least 8 million combat strength, even if they only mobilize more than 6 million that can be used to attack together with the two allies of the Great Food Country and Persia, plus the 6 million orc infantry that can be dispatched to attack, the task of the Great Zhao Expeditionary Force is still a long way to go, and no longer killing 3 million Rakshasa soldiers and at least 3 million orc soldiers cannot prevent the Great Zhao from facing the tragedy of the three countries attacking at the same time.
Of course, the harvest of occupying Bulgan City this time is still very huge, the most happy thing for Lin Ruofeng and Ye Lingyan is the 1.5 million high-quality herding horses that are going north on the outskirts of Bulgan City, these 1.5 million herding horses can be converted into excellent war horses soon, what is most lacking in Da Zhao's war now, that is, the war horses of the cavalry, the infantry is relatively simple to replenish, as long as the soldiers are drawn from the local garrison army for three months of high-intensity training, they can basically be transformed into combat troops, and the local garrison army can be recruited in the civilian population to gradually train and replenish。
But the cavalry is not good, one is that the cavalry training cycle is longer than the infantry, and the cavalry of the local garrison is not much, which is very inconvenient to supplement, and the most important thing is that after the cavalry is killed, the war horse is often killed or missing, Da Zhao's annual war horse production is limited, and it is very difficult to supplement the cavalry when it dies, so when the war starts, Da Zhao is most afraid of losing the cavalry, but the cavalry is the main force in the field, and the problem of war horses has become the most sad pain for Da Zhao, this time he got 1.5 million horses that can become high-quality war horses at any time, how Lin Ruofeng and Ye Lingyan are not excitedIf he can calculate today's ending, I am afraid that with his decisiveness, even if he is stripped of his title by Rakshasa Peters the Great, or hanged, he will not hesitate to order the Rakshasa soldiers to kill these war horses.
