Chapter 614: Inquiry

Wang Yong retracted his true anger, and watched Harvey and Matthew bickering with a smile, while helping Gibbon bandage the not serious scratches on his arm. It didn't take long for Francis to find Wang Yong with a group of guards, first inquired about Harvey's injury, and learned that he was okay before he was at ease.

Francis came to report the results of the battle to Wang Yong, but seeing Wang Yong lying on the grass in all directions, Francis felt that he was a little disrespectful to Wang Yong as a lord when he stood and spoke condescendingly, but let him squat on the ground Francis felt embarrassed, and for a while, Francis fell into a dilemma.

Wang Yong saw that Francis was embarrassed when he wanted to speak, he smiled, patted the grass beside him and said, "Come, sit down and say something, don't stand stupidly." Francis saw that Wang Yong had spoken, so he had to sit beside Wang Yong very reluctantly, but the armor was very tense, and it was uncomfortable to change several postures.

Wang Yong smiled and pointed and said, "Either cross your legs, or be like me, you don't move around." Francis looked at Matthew and the others who seemed to be sitting cross-legged on the ground and seemed to be very comfortable, so he followed their example and crossed his legs, not to mention, this position is really good.

Wang Yong smiled and said, "How is it?

Francis nodded and said, "Well, one hundred and thirty-eight of our soldiers were killed, including twenty officers, and the captain of the seventh wing was among them. Also, forty-three people were seriously wounded in our army, five of whom will be left disabled, and there is no count of those who were slightly wounded. Wang Yong looked at the place where the corpse was placed in the distance, and did not say anything, after several battles, Wang Yong was no longer as sensitive to the casualty figures as he was at the beginning.

Francis continued: "This time, our army annihilated more than 400 enemy troops, captured more than 60 people, and captured more than 500 complete armaments, because the enemy did not carry supplies. So there is nothing to gain in terms of materials. However, while we were cleaning the battlefield, we found two wagons with a large amount of gold coins and valuables, and the black-robed commander who guarded the carriage just now told me that according to the commander of the enemy wing that you had captured and returned, these valuables were all finances looted along the way, and the exact amount of these treasures has not yet been counted. ”

Wang Yong nodded and asked Francis with a smile on his face: "What do you think of our battle?" ”

Francis looked gloomy and said only four words: "Heavy casualties." ”

Harvey was surprised and said, "Our battle losses are 1 to 10, and this is still a lot of casualties?" Francis shook his head. Didn't say anything.

Francis was very depressed in his heart, if these soldiers did not need much, after a year of formal training, and wanted to face the enemy with absolute superiority just now, then he was absolutely sure that the number of casualties would be controlled within twenty, but now, Francis could only sigh.

Wang Yong saw Francis's unwillingness, smiled and said, "If, I mean if." If you were given a cavalry regiment of 5,000 men, after a year or more of training, encountered the same number of enemy troops, what would you think would be the ideal result?"

Francis thought for a moment and said, "It depends on what kind of class the other party is." If it's light infantry, it's easy to defeat them, and the casualties won't be too high, and I can control it within fifty. If it's hoplites. I'm sure I'll defeat it, but I'll pay a few casualties. If it is also light cavalry, then it depends on the level of the opposing commander. There are many factors that can determine the outcome of the outcome, such as equipment and the quality of individual soldiers. ”

Wang Yong asked curiously: "What if the enemy is 5,000 heavy cavalry?"

Francis was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and said: "Sir, no one will be stupid enough to use light cavalry to hedge against heavy cavalry, if I encounter heavy cavalry, I will choose guerrilla warfare to consume their horsepower and physical strength, and when they can't run, those heavy cavalry will become targets without fighting back, at that time, even a team of light infantry can easily annihilate them, but the commander of the heavy cavalry will not be stupid enough to let soldiers in heavy armor pursue light cavalry." ”

Wang Yong smiled and said, "What if you have to take the light cavalry to hedge against the enemy's heavy cavalry?"

Francis's expression changed for a while before he said uncertainly: "If we don't retreat from the battle, I estimate that it would be good if the battle damage could reach five to one." ”

Wang Yong finally asked a very embarrassing question: "Who do you think is more powerful than you and Captain Lane?"

Francis was stunned for a while, waved his hand again and again, and said: "How can I compare with Chief Lane, I learned this little thing indirectly from him, I can't compare, I can't compare." ”

Wang Yong patted Francis on the shoulder and said, "Haven't you heard that the blue is better than the blue? Don't be presumptuous, I think you and Uncle Lane have a completely different style, he mainly coordinates the overall situation, and you are better at commanding small-scale battles." Francis was praised by Wang Yong, his face was flushed, and he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Shadow Dance and Light Spirit came leisurely, and when Shadow Dance saw so many people here, he first nodded to everyone, and then stood quietly behind Wang Yong.

And the light little girl jumped up and down to Harvey's side, first gloating for a burst of ridicule, and then very generously threw Harvey a candy, which was considered a reward.

Matthew saw Harvey chewing candy with a smile, swallowed his saliva, stretched out his hand and said to Qingling, "Sister Big Ears, also give my brother a piece to taste." Padraic and Alva, Gibbon, and George cast longing glances at the light.

Seeing that Matthew was talking about his ears again, Qingling snorted angrily, ignored them and walked directly to Wang Yong's side.

In this short period of time, Wang Yong learned a lot of information from Shadow Dance, Shadow Dance asked from the captured Bill Captain that the commander of this enemy army was named Newman, a famous general of the Eternal Empire, and the second prince of the Eternal Empire was also accompanied by the army, it was said that there was a secret mission, and there was some scattered information, but it was not useful.

As for the heavy items of the seized car, after the preliminary inventory of Shadow Dance and Light Spirit, there were more than 6,300 gold coins, more than 12,000 silver coins, and more than 600 crystals, gems and ornaments.

Finally, Shadow Dance said, "When I was cleaning up the battlefield, I saw that our soldiers took a lot of money and gems from the corpses of the enemy, but very few of them were handed in. ”

Hearing this, Wang Yong frowned. Wang Yong is not a greedy person, and he understands the hearts of these soldiers, but the rules are the rules, if Wang Yong lets it go this time, then they will become more greedy next time, and what will develop in the end is not clear, but in short, it will not develop in a good direction.
