Chapter 459: Night Attack (Part I)
Modern warfare on the planet has not had such huge casualties.
After Su Jing heard this number, he was silent for a moment, and then asked Su Klon to take charge of dealing with the wounded soldiers and reorganizing the troops. In the early spring, there were many dead and wounded soldiers, and they needed to be reorganized, and some battalions were half disabled, and only about 2,000 of the 5,000 people remained.
This is a battle with the help of a chariot, which prioritizes attacking the enemy's ranged forces. And the soldiers of the Early Spring Kingdom are far better equipped than the army of the Celestial God Empire.
All the soldiers withdrew into the city, and in the sky, the airship was released. Without the Flying Kite Soldiers, the airship could only be shot down by the enemy's Jindan strongman, and now the opponent's strong man no longer dared to approach Xincheng alone.
600,000 people, the reduction of nearly 30,000 troops, for the time being, has not broken the muscles and bones, but such a battle, if it is fought four or five times, and the number of long-range weapons on Su Jing's side is reduced, the enemy's losses will not be as many as this time.
When Su Jing's side reduces the number of employees by more than 100,000, it will not be easy to do.
In the final analysis, the most troublesome part of this war is that Su Jing does not have many troops to replenish, and the other party's troops are not endless, but the entire Heavenly God Empire, and then put together millions of troops, there is no pressure.
In this world, the production of food is no longer a problem, so the soldiers who can be mobilized are far more outrageous than the cold weapon era on the earth.
Su Jing picked up the documents sent by the intelligence officer again and read them volume by volume.
The Celestial God Empire is not a conscription system, and the subjects of each empire, at the age of twelve, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, will concentrate on training. Most of this part of the training is a formality, and it is only aimed at people who are really poor and cannot afford to study.
Twelve to fourteen years old. Three years to learn the basics of culture and exercise. By the time he is seventeen, he will be drafted into the army.
This enlistment will really train the common sense that a soldier needs, as well as the way to fight. Training for a year. They will go out with the warships to find enemy countries in the South China Sea and conduct actual combat training.
The two years of training were all for relatively weak countries, and the war was only for military training.
At the age of nineteen, a soldier retires. Go home to study, farm, or do business. At the age of twenty-five, the state will recruit this group of young people again. Sent to the battlefield, this time the real hostile enemy country will be chosen, and the intensity of the war is several times greater than the first enlistment.
After three years, he will retire, and at the age of thirty-five, he will enlist for the third time.
If it weren't for the lack of soldiers, after the third enlistment, the subjects of the empire would not have the task of serving. But now, an invading army like Su Jing has appeared. If the empire can't be attacked for a long time, it will recruit veterans. As long as they are not more than 55 years old, they will re-enter the army, and after a month of reorganization, they will be put into battle.
Don't look at a veteran in his forties and fifties, on the battlefield, he is even more dangerous and difficult than a young and strong soldier.
Su Jing saw this. If you know that you want to consume the enemy, you really can't afford it. Moreover, my own judgment is wrong, this kind of military service system, if the number of people in the Celestial God Empire is 500 million, at least 20 million or 30 million soldiers can be recruited.
Put on the earth. In this world, because there is no natural famine, the state can control the production of food, and when it is necessary to recruit soldiers, there is no need to worry about abandoning agriculture. Therefore, in this world, as long as anyone can fight, they may be thrown into the army.
Su Jing seemed to understand something in his heart.
It's as if it's a huge game, and there is never a shortage of basic supplies. All nations, sects, and sects are competing for high-level materials in this worldly realm.
Emperor Jiang Yan must understand this truth. So, what is he ultimately trying to do in cultivating powerful armies in different planes?
Su Jing couldn't think clearly, so he didn't think about the emperor's problem. He was thinking about crushing the invading army of the Celestial God Empire in one fell swoop. At first, he was worried that the other party was unwilling to invest a lot of troops, but now he found that he was thinking too much.
For an invader like himself, the Celestial Empire will spare no effort to eliminate it, and will not negotiate.
If this is the case, Su Jing still has a way to solve it.
The reason why the sea is a tug-of-war is because the fleet of the Evil God Empire did not escape too far, and Su Jing had to use the Five Elements Cannon to guard against it. And the navy of the Celestial God Empire, which did not invest many troops at one time, relied on the unique equipment of the Celestial Empire, which also caused trouble for Su Jing's fleet.
Most of the Jindan powerhouses are on the side of Su Jing's new city, on the sea, relying on Su Mu's Dark Night Double Dragon Army, so they are destined not to go to sea to pursue, and the battles take place offshore.
Destiny dice, use it once, how long does it take to restart?
Su Jing didn't dare to draw conclusions. It is known that once the thing is used, it will rest for ten days. However, judging from the battle that destroyed the Yin and Yang family at the beginning, this thing can be used again in only five or six days.
Different realms, the laws of the Heavenly Dao are also different, if the laws are loosened here, they can be reused in three days.
I still have to set aside one more day, and if I want to fight back, the slowest will be two days later.
Just a Heavenly God Empire, Martial Saint Island, made him feel a little powerless, what about the Evil God Realm? Su Jing found that he was still too naΓ―ve, thinking that with a strong army, he would be invincible.
But something like a fate dice, a golem, a flying kite soldier-like existence, in this world, I don't know how many ways there are.
Fortunately, I was in trouble this time, otherwise, I would have trained and prepared for war according to my previous plan.
This war is destined to be a constant attrition of troops, and the soldiers on both sides will eventually lose one.
The only thing he did correctly was to build the Tower of Babel and create the Shura Field. With the Shura Field, he should completely defeat Wusheng Island and use this island as his base.
Martial Saint Island is more suitable for building a country than the Early Spring Country and the Winter Country, it is far away from distractions, there is enough land, and it is also connected to the Martial Saint Ruins plus that fairyland.
In the new city, the corpses of soldiers were transported out of the city and sent to the Tower of Babel, which had special buildings to house the remains of soldiers. On the side of the Eastern Qin Empire, the soldiers would choose to be cremated, while the soldiers of the Early Spring and Winter Kingdoms, some of whom needed to be buried, would be buried in the mountains south of the city.
Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Celestial God Empire were collected. There are special officers, one by one, asking the surviving soldiers, the customs and habits of the Celestial Empire, and how to deal with these corpses.
Those soldiers who survived were greatly surprised. The treatment they treated during their lifetime was very bad, but after death, they were able to choose their own resting place like the Six Dao Divine Soldiers.
The officer in charge of the investigation, who was quite mild, gave a detailed account of the survivors about the bereavement and aftermath of the battle. Those who survived this time, because of their bravery, will be re-equipped and integrated into the official army. From then on, they ceased to be cannon fodder.
Morale has improved slightly, and some soldiers have asked if they can retire.
The officer told you that you are prisoners, and you can only retire if you have made enough military achievements. However, they can choose not to fight with the army of the Celestial God Empire, they will be sent to a small city in the south for reorganization, and weapons will not be issued for the time being, and after the war is over, they will follow the army of the Eastern Qin Empire all the way to the west to conquer the Evil God Kingdom.
Most of the surrendered troops chose to go to small cities in the south to rest, they didn't like to fight with their own country's army.
Su Jing sent people to send away this part of the surrendered troops, and some of the remaining ones will not be arranged into the combat establishment for the time being, but give them a task, that is, in the next battle, if there is an army that surrenders in formation, it will be taught by them.
The city gradually became orderly, and Su Jing lost hundreds of chariots in this battle, but they were not completely destroyed, but they could still be repaired and used. These chariots were dismantled and sent to the Tower of Babel, from which the intact chariots were mobilized to replenish Su Jing's army.
The survivability of these chariots used when the empire was founded on the battlefield exceeded Su Jing's expectations.
Su Jing contacted Su Mu and asked Su Mu to shrink the fleet, ignore the entanglement of the enemy at sea, and then draw out 200,000 troops to attack another army of the Celestial God Empire.
That army, there will definitely not be a second fate dice.
Su Mu was surprised, but he didn't ask what he wanted, only what strength he wanted to achieve.
Su Jing said to Su Mu: "You have it yourself, I only ask you, send all the long-range weapons that can be used for three consecutive days of fighting in this attack, and try to kill and injure the enemy, at least more than 200,000 enemies." β
Su Mu frowned, this is difficult. Among the army of the Heavenly God Empire, there are not many Jindan powerhouses, but they don't have much on hand.
However, Su Jing doesn't care about the consumption of weapons, this matter is still promising.
"Brother, is the five-element cannon available?"
"Yes, you can dismantle the door again, they don't dare to fight too hard at sea. Earth Dragon Arrows can be used at will, as long as they can kill enough troops to damage the enemy. β
"When are you leaving?"
Su Jing glanced at the hourglass of time, and it was already early in the morning.
"Twenty-two hours later, the attack was launched on time. β
"Okay, what about you?"
"I'm going to launch a surprise attack too, and I'm going to put most of my forces into it. β
In this way, the two men interrupted communication. Su Mu didn't know why Su Jing suddenly wanted to go into battle, and she didn't need to think too much, she immediately dispatched troops to prepare for battle.
Twenty-two hours is less than two days, and it happens to be midnight the next day.
The gates of the new city were wide open, and Su Jing's legions walked out of the city one by one and lined up outside the city. This time, Su Jing used eighty percent of the chariot troops, and all the remaining hoplites and hoplites.
Su Jing, the auxiliary troop, did not bring it, but added an additional 200 floating warships and more than 1,000 airships.
In addition, there are 10,000 troops of the early spring country, and they have been assigned makeshift chariots, all of which are chained heavy crossbows. This part of the chariot crossbowmen is far inferior to Su Jing's chariot troops in terms of defense, but the offensive strength is already almost the same. (To be continued......)
