After Gebatu left with the rest of the Hegel cavalry for a while, it was confirmed that they had really left, and Guan Ning, who had been wandering around the periphery, came to the front of the formation with his soldiers and joined Ding Hongguang and others.

……

Station Big Tent.

At this time, more than an hour had passed since the great battle just now, and the guards had left guards to keep vigil after cleaning up the battlefield, and the others began to rest and regain their energy.

Ding Hongguang, Guan Ning, and the commander of the Fifth Army and other generals of the escort army gathered in the camp to start discussions.

At the top of the big tent, Ding Hongguang sat on the main seat, Guan Ning sat on the left hand side, and Sun Yun, the commander of the Fifth Army, sat on the right hand side.

The crowd took their seats.

Ding Hongguang was the first to speak: "After three battles today, our army has taken the lead and greatly consumed a wave of Tatar sound power by virtue of the crossbow, according to incomplete estimates, more than 20,000 Tatars died in the daytime.

And our escort army only had a dozen casualties, which can be described as an insignificant battle loss ratio.

Today is a big win for us! ”

As soon as Ding Hongguang's voice fell, Guan Ning and Sun Yun immediately surrendered their hands and said: "It's all up to the commander to make the master have a good plan, so that our side can win more with less and cause such casualties to the Tatar department!" ”

Ding Hongguang waved his hand, stopped the flattery of the two, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's not say polite words, let's talk about the current actual situation."

Although we have a big advantage today and have caused a lot of damage to the enemy, the same hole cards of our side are known to the enemy, and they can no longer have a surprise effect.

Moreover, in today's battle, our army consumed a large number of arrows, especially the Fifth Army.

Sun Yun, tell me about the situation of the arrows recovered at night. ”

When Sun Yun heard this, he immediately got up and replied: "Commander, after the enemy retreated, our Fifth Army immediately carried out the recovery of arrows, but because of the fierce situation of today's battle, our side tilted out a total of 60,000 crossbow arrows and 6,000 bows and arrows.

In the end, after recycling and inventory, less than 2,000 bows and arrows were recovered, and only half of the crossbow arrows were nearly 30,000 that could be reused, and the rest of the arrows were either broken or could not be reused for other reasons. ”

Ding Hongguang nodded after hearing this, he had already expected this situation, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, anything can happen, and the possibility of the arrows shot being completely recycled and reused is not high, and now it is good to be able to recycle nearly half.

However, in this way, the Fifth Army's long-range strike capability has been weakened a lot.

But in fact, it is not a loss when converted, and the Tartars that were folded in the hands of the Fifth Army today before were about 10,000, and such losses were worth it.

Ding Hongguang nodded and continued: "But also in today's battle, some of our problems have also been exposed, and some soldiers in the battle almost threw away their weapons because of fear, affecting the entire formation.

Of course, this is due to the fact that most of our army's personnel are recruits, but it also exposes the drawbacks of our army's failure to attach importance to non-commissioned officers. ”

When Sun Yun heard this, he immediately stood up and lowered his head and said with a look of shame: "Lord Commander, this is all caused by the negligence of the last general, please punish your lordship!" ”

Ding Hongguang waved his hand and said: "Okay, the general is not to chase anyone's responsibility for saying this, you don't have to be so eager to roar and be punished by the general, this problem is not only your Fifth Army, other armies must also have the same problem, but they haven't encountered the same intensity of battle as you, so they haven't been mentioned yet."

But we must pay attention to this issue! ”

Speaking of this, Ding Hongguang paused heavily, and then glanced at the two of them: "Our guard battalion is a barrier to protect Yunzhou County and protect the prince, this time we got the news, and we occupied a favorable terrain to ambush the enemy, so we played such a battle loss ratio."

But not all battlefields are like this, and we can't always anticipate the enemy prophet, and the enemy may appear at any time.

And our escort army, as the barrier of Yunzhou County, must not only be able to fight this kind of first-hand advantageous battle, but also be able to fight encounter battles and tough battles, only in this way can we be regarded as an elite soldier, and only then can we have the ability to protect Yunzhou County, protect the interests of the prince and the territory! ”

Now the number of this Tartar has been reduced to about the same number as ours, and although they are all cavalry, we also have the advantage of equipment.

Ben wants to use them for training next! ”

"Training?" X2

Guan Ning and Sun Yun exclaimed.

Ding Hongguang nodded heavily, repeated the words "training", and then turned his head to look at Guan Ning and asked with a solemn face: "Keli (Guan Ning Zi Keli), do the elite cavalry you lead dare to hedge against the other party head-on now?" ”

Guan Ning was stunned, then immediately understood what Ding Hongguang meant, sat up straight and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, as long as the adult gives the order, our department will dare to rush even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire!" As far as our army's equipment is concerned, as long as we are equipped with a full set of heavy armor, even if the enemy is three times our number, we have nothing to fear! ”

That's right, until now, the cavalry under Guan Ning has not been fully armored, but only worn some light armor into battle.

But from the very beginning, these cavalry were trained according to heavy armor, and their heavy armor was also carried with them in the logistics baggage.

Once they put on the heavy armor, before their physical strength was exhausted, Guan Ning was confident that they would be invincible in front of Hegel's junk-equipped cavalry!

In its heyday, the Hegel cavalry had nearly 50,000 men and two horses, and they ran mighty, and they were only 7,000, and even if they were heavily armoured, they did not dare to take advantage of their edge.

But now that the other party has less than 30,000 left, they have the confidence to meet them!

With Guan Ning's assurance, Ding Hongguang was extremely satisfied, and said: "Very good, since this is the case, it will be easy to do."

In this way, the next combat division is not on the defensive, but switches tactics and takes the initiative. Look for the enemy and fight the opponent for a decisive battle, when the time comes, your heavy cavalry will first charge the opponent head-on and break the opponent's formation, and then you will sweep the formation on the side, and the infantry of each army will fight them. ”

"What?!"

As soon as Ding Hongguang spoke, Guan Ning just frowned, but Sun Yun jumped up directly and said anxiously: "The command is not for adults!"

Most of the non-commissioned officers of our army are new recruits, so let them go to a hard fight with the Tartars, doesn't this make them die?

We obviously have the advantage of equipment and can ...... from a distance."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ding Hongguang, Ding Hongguang stood up violently, walked in front of him step by step, and said in a deep voice: "Enough! What remotely? Do you continue to consume each other remotely?

So when will they become a real soldier?

Soldiers who will only take advantage of equipment to fight with the wind, what if they encounter hard battles and encounter encounters in the future? Will the enemy let them go, let them prepare, let them distance themselves and go to war again?

Sun Yun! This is the battlefield! Do you think war is child's play? Will the enemy do what you want it to do, every time, and attack you within your rules?

You are a soldier, such childish thoughts should not appear to you!

The soldiers that our escort army wants are not only to fight a good fight, but to be an elite who dare to fight the enemy under any conditions!

And the elite is to crawl out of the sea of blood!

As for those who drowned on the way. ”

Ding Hongguang paused, and then coldly spit out four words!

"Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!"

Sun Yun trembled and understood what the commander meant.
