In this battle, 150,000 Harvey soldiers were directly slaughtered, and 50,000 or 60,000 were trampled to death, but there were not many wounded, on the one hand, because they were all fleeing for their lives, most of the wounded were trampled to death by Harvey's own people, and on the other hand, because the mercenary army was a surprise attack, there were no wounded left for the Harvey army. Therefore, this night's battle caused Harvey to lose 210,000 troops, which was a huge loss, on the one hand, due to the poor combat effectiveness and combat quality of the city defense army transferred by Harvey, and on the other hand, the mercenary army attack was too sudden. Now, the Harvey Army has dropped from 800,000 to more than 500,000, close to 600,000, while the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army is still more than 500,000, and the strength of the two sides is already almost the same, which gives the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army a positive signal.

"Smack!".

"Rice buckets, all rice buckets!" Zhao Wu looked at the commanders of the guards under his command, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, there were messy things scattered on the ground, after knowing that the mercenary army attacked the camp last night, he immediately notified the other armies to prepare for battle, and let the Chinese army quickly establish a magic defense line in the direction where the rear guard army was attacked, not to prevent the mercenary army from attacking, but to prevent the defeated soldiers from rushing across the entire Harvey Seventh Legion, there are several entrances and exits in these defense lines, so that those soldiers who fled back can pass from there, and then they are arranged to go to other places, those soldiers who fled back saw the Chinese army like this, and knew that the Harvey army was ready, I couldn't help but be sure in my heart, and there was no more panic when I fled, so I followed those soldiers to a place to gather. At the same time, Zhao Wu sent the Third Army and the Second Army on the left and right sides to immediately bypass the deserters from both sides, attack the raiding mercenary army from the flanks, and the other armies were on standby to prevent changes. From a tactical point of view, Zhao Wu's arrangement is very much in line with the norms of the textbook. First based on undefeated, then ask for something else.

However, the development of things exceeded his expectations, the rearguard collapsed too quickly, these old soldiers who usually walked out of breath, exerted their enthusiasm and strength of two hundred percent when fleeing for their lives, and rushed towards the Chinese army like a wave, after seeing the magic protective wall erected by the Chinese army, many soldiers understood it as the Harvey army had abandoned them, so many people behind used magic or vindictiveness to constantly attack the people on the defense line or those in front of them. Their actions made the deserters angry too, and they continued to attack indiscriminately, not thinking about anything else, for them, who was in front of them at the moment. Who is their enemy, not the Snow Wolf mercenary who is slaughtering the Harvey Guard behind them. Such casualties alone made Zhao Wu's face twitch constantly. It can be said that half of those 50,000 or 60,000 people died in this way. If this alone is not enough to make Zhao Wu collapse. The Third Army let the Snow Wolf Mercenary Second Column sneak attack more than once during the day yesterday. Every time they came and went, they could wipe out nearly 10,000 people in the Third Army, and when they were few, they were only a few hundred people, but the commander of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army was still happy to do it. In the evening, the support of the Third Army broke their hearts even more, and as soon as they left the camp. It was constantly attacked by that mercenary army, and could only continue to entangle with them, and this kind of battle continued until the mercenary army that attacked the rear army retreated. In less than four hours alone, Duns led the Second Column to attack the ranks of the Third Army five times. These snow wolf mercenaries who rushed from different directions were like a real weasel entangled with snakes, so that the Third Army was helpless, but they had to face it head-on. The night gave the two mercenary columns the greatest cover, and the night also gave Harvey's seventh legion the biggest trouble, how many people were attacking, what kind of combat effectiveness, who the commander was, I didn't know what one qiē was, I only knew that there were two mercenary armies attacking them, and whether there would be a third mercenary army, these were not clear, so they didn't dare to move except for the two armies. The third army was entangled, but the second army could quickly support the battle of the rearguard, at this time it reflected the command ability of the land and sea, he constantly sent scouts, and carried out non-stop reconnaissance on both sides, so as not to let themselves fall into even a small passivity, when they found that the second army moved, the raid battle had been going on for nearly two hours, after all, the army was not said to move, but also to assemble and convey orders, and march, these all consume more time, and the larger the army, the longer the time, and the time is doubled up, if a team assembly takes ten minutesThen a regiment will need twenty minutes, a division will need forty minutes, an army will need an hour and a half, and the corresponding assembly time at night at all levels is longer than during the day, and this can only be done by a well-trained army. Not to mention the need to convey orders in the meantime?

Less than thirty minutes after the Second Army left the barracks, Lu Hai knew, and after he knew about the situation, he did not let the army retreat, but carried out another bigger attack, and a lot of magic continued to be vented on those fleeing Harvey soldiers, and more people died at once. When the second army was still twenty minutes away from the battle area, the first column quickly withdrew from the battlefield on the other side and disappeared into the vast night, and the second column also left the battlefield after being notified by the first column, for a while, there was no more shouting and killing in the entire battlefield, only the remaining Harvey army who escaped their lives were constantly in a daze on the ground, and the wounded soldiers were crying, roaring, and scolding on the ground, but in any case, at this time, they would no longer be threatened by the snow wolf mercenary army.

In another place, when Duns led the troops to leave the battlefield, he kept scolding,

"It's numb, Lao Lu is too unrighteous, such a big battle didn't even call me, we were busy all day, tired like a dead dog, but we ate a group of magicians, and a few swordsmen as a partner, that guy was so leisurely there, but he was eating a big meal, it was really more popular than a dead man!" Duns was indeed unbalanced in his heart, and wanted to come during the day. He was waiting for work again, fighting with a weasel, provoking, scolding his mother, the clown did everything, and he lost face, but he still didn't take too much advantage, and he thought that Lu Hai had completed such a big battle without saying anything, and in order to let the two columns cooperate, they reminded themselves in a friendly way. He has to do this role of accompanying the prince to study, and he can't help but go, you must know that if he doesn't go to this matter, when those brothers mention this matter, they have to trouble him. It really made him choke enough. But now I can only stay in this kind of grievance. At least the mercenary army was victorious.

"With Lao Deng, it's good for us to be able to eat some. And I have to say that Lao Lu really grasped the weakness of the Harvey Army. Starting from those city defense troops who are most afraid of death, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, and they can only do some bullying and dominating behaviors, they will be one move higher than us at the beginning, you see what we choose, the third army. One of the trump cards of the Seventh Legion, not to mention the strong battle, the combat exploits are still very strong, can those city defense troops be compared?" Sun Hong said on the side.

"It's a little better to hear you say that. But in your words, why is there always something that doesn't smell good??" Dunce muttered.

It is strange if there is no taste, there are only five armies in the Seventh Legion, which one of them has not made great achievements since the establishment of the army, and is not the trump card among them, so does it need to be emphasized? Sun Hong said secretly on the side.

Wencheng, after the results of this battle came out, so that Kong Ming, who had not rested all night, could finally rest. Before the war, Lu Hai had asked Kong Ming about this matter, but Kong Ming thought that he was not at the scene at this time, and for the enemy situation, although Lu Hai said it in magic communication, it must not be too specific, and there are many things that are known more clearly on the spot, so Lu Hai must make up his own mind, if he can fight, he will fight, and if he can't, he will find a fighter. It can be said that Kongming's attitude also played a more or less supporting role in the battle on land and sea. It can be said that Kongming's attitude made Lu Hai make up his mind.

In a war, as the supreme commander of an army, you can't and can't interfere in everything, because a person can't have a lot of time and energy to do everything, and at such times, you need to delegate power. In the military, there are also two different methods of command, which have advantages and disadvantages, one is the centralized command mode or command command mode, and the other is the task command mode. There is no definite conclusion as to who is superior or inferior in these two ways. Command-style command is more suitable for a small battlefield, everything is directly presented in front of the commander, so that he can deal with it in a timely manner, this way of command requirements for the commander is extremely high, more suitable for those who have a strong desire for power, and everything wants to intervene in the person, throughout history, this kind of person when he is a commander, their victory or defeat usually has a great relationship with the individual. Command command has one of the biggest advantages, that is, they can make full use of all the resources in their hands, and they do not have very high requirements for the ability of their subordinates, as long as they can carry out orders, and this kind of command implementation is also the most efficient, but this method also brings a big disadvantage, that is, once the commander has a problem, or is sick, Or after some other things can't be separated, this army is equivalent to being abolished, because those who have become accustomed to listening to the orders of their superiors have lost their sense of autonomy and control over the army, and an army of victories may become a weak brigade in an instant. Especially when a part of this army is on a mission alone, it may lose its fighters and let the victory in hand fly away. The most famous of these is Napoleon's Battle of Waterloo. In Napoleon's Battle of Waterloo in 1815, one of Napoleon's most successful men led the army alone to search for the enemy in another direction, and at this time Napoleon was fighting hard with the enemy, and whichever reinforcement arrived first on both sides would win the final victory. The army on the other side of the enemy skillfully avoided this part of the French army and arrived at the battlefield from the other direction, the enemy reinforcements arrived, Napoleon could only defeat Waterloo, and his marshal was still struggling to carry out Napoleon's order to search for the enemy.

The other is task-based command, which has relatively high requirements for commanders at each level. This kind of command seems very simple, to put it bluntly, I give you a task, what kind of result I need, I will tell you clearly, as for the rest of how to complete the task, what things are needed. This qiē and qiē need to be completed by the executor, as a superior, only the result and provide some necessary things in it. This kind of command can give full play to the ability of subordinates under the greatest circumstances, and no matter when there is such a command tradition, the army will not lack leaders and commanders of war, because each level of its officers has grown up through such a level, and the higher level is nothing more than making what they have been doing a little bigger. The most famous of this type of command is the German army in World War II, they have never lacked good commanders, and the modern American army also implements task-based command. This kind of command not only allows commanders to free up more time for command, but most importantly, it can continuously train more excellent commanders, which is the biggest gain brought by this command style, and will not bring the entire army to a standstill because of the fall of an excellent talent.

"Now shall we change our battle plan?" asked Che Yu. You must know that after this battle, there are more than 500,000 left in the Harvey army, and the snow wolf mercenary army is also more than 500,000.

"yes. 500,000 against 500,000, we are still fighting at home. The defensive side. It should have a great advantage, didn't you say that the general offensive and defensive forces should be three to one, for good, now one to one, how can the enemy beat us?" Yi Yiyi also said on the side.

"You only see the surface, but you don't see the real substance. There is nothing wrong with the fact that the enemy is more than half a million, but the enemy is all trained fighters and has a solid group of officers, which our side does not have. In particular, the enemy's magicians are much stronger than us, although more than 2,000 magicians have been eliminated, but this cannot fundamentally change the situation that the enemy is strong and I am weak, not to mention that the enemy has gone through these two battles, I think it should be clear that their weakness is the lack of a strong and rapidly mobile army, this aspect has no way to solve it for the time being, but they will definitely come up with a way to deal with us, so how much combat power our demon cavalry can exert in the future is a question of doubt. In fact, our biggest weakness is that most of our 400,000 troops are soldiers who have not been in battle, and these people will only be reduced to sheep to the slaughter when facing the enemy in battle, which we do not want to see, so we can only let them fill up now, once we pin our hopes on them, then it will be the beginning of our defeat. Kong Ming said, if the opinions of the two of them made him not a little moved, it is impossible, but there is really no way, with a group of soldiers who have not been through the war to fight, nine times out of ten is defeated, Kong Ming does not want to do these thankless work. But how to get these people to participate in this war also made Kong Ming very worried. If they don't participate in the war, these people will not be able to become the pillars of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army in the future, and they will face a large number of casualties when they participate in the war.

"So now we still plan to let these people as bait to attract the enemy's attention, and then continue to use cavalry to eat them?" Che Yu asked again, originally everyone discussed this way, using the strength of most of the troops in the front as bait to attract the attention of the Harvey army, using two columns as fists, and using the weasel tactics to grind the enemy to the same level, the battle was decided. In the current form, the plan is still implemented well, the two battles have removed more than 200,000 enemy people, and there is no movement of the enemy's army in the other four directions, it stands to reason that it is a good shape now, but Kong Ming always feels that something is wrong, in the end there is something wrong in that place, Kong Ming will not be able to think of it for a while, and now he only needs to continue to implement it on the basis of the original plan.

"Now we only need to be a weasel, and the rest will be talked about later, we must keep an eye on the situation in other places at all times, and inform Wei Qian, let them pay more attention to Alexander, I always feel that this person is not simple, but now I can't think of any conspiracy of the enemy for a while." Kong Ming said.

"Okay, I'll do it. The car went straight away.

All of a sudden, the defense of Wencheng was strengthened a lot, many obstacles outside the city were set up as checkpoints to block the enemy, and many houses in the city were also transformed into a state suitable for fighting the enemy; on the other hand, the newly expanded army of Wencheng was also carrying out rehearsals and preparations for various battles, in order to use this short time to raise the combat thinking and combat effectiveness of these new armies to a higher level. This qiē is showing the world that the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army will defend Wencheng to the death.

On the edge of Songjiang, Alexander did not react much after receiving the news of the sneak attack on the Harvey army, for him, Zhao Wu himself is a mediocre talent, it would be good to be able to keep the Seventh Legion, and at this time he was also thinking with his subordinates how to solve the snow wolf mercenary army on Wei Qian's side, these days, although the two often have a trick, but it is all some small fights, and they can't be put on the table, and Wei Qian has been avoiding him with his troops, making him feel powerful and nowhere to go. At this time, a man walked into his conference room.

"Didn't I say that no one was allowed to come in during this time, who were you, and how did you get in?, guards?" shouted Alexander, for he only needed to let people in without permission for those guards, and that it was enough for him to go against his will. The person who came was wearing a magician's cloak, covering the entire person's face, and in order to prevent others from peeping, he also deliberately added some magic arrays on the cloak to prevent magic detection, which looked mysterious. Hearing Alexander's words, the man came out of his cloak with a gold medal with a decree on it, surrounded by some intricate patterns, and directly above the inscription was a crown. Seeing this gold medal, although Alexander felt a little unhappy in his heart, he did not vent it, and said: "The others go out first, let the guards stand guard ten meters around the conference room, and they are not allowed to approach within ten meters without an order." ”

Seeing this, everyone knew that there were some unknown things, and they left the conference room one after another, and the guards outside the full text also stood ten meters away. After Alexander himself closed all the doors and windows, he said unhappily: "Envoy, can you show your face?"

"Alexander, what are you still doing like that, are you just welcoming an old friend?" an aged voice came from inside the cloak.

"Damn, you're here, why are you so mysterious?" Alexander, apparently recognizing from his voice that it was a good friend. There was no trace of unhappiness in the words.

"Hehe, it's not for the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army?" The cloak was lifted, and a young face was revealed, the person who came was Zhang Yiming, a senator of the Harvey Empire, and a recognized wise man in the Harvey Empire.

"Oh, I invited you here for this one thing, I don't have such a big face. Alexander laughed, the two had known each other since they were very young, and it could be said that they were small. Zhang Yiming is the youngest son of the prime minister of the empire, the same age as Alexander, when he was a child, he proposed to the prime minister the famous "three hearts" policy of letting the Yan state perish and let the Chu state suffer from the seedling, and it was also the policy of Tong Guò that allowed the Harvey Empire to take advantage of the battle of the Chu state, and now he has become the youngest wise man of the empire, and at the same time a person who is infinitely close to the sage of wisdom.

"For the sake of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, this is unlikely, you know, now except for the small snow wolf in front of me, the Fifth Legion, Zhao Wu is facing the big snow wolf. Alexander scoffed. (To be continued......)
