Half a month passed almost in a flash, and soon it was time to fight the barbarians. These days, the first column was training according to Fang Yi's established training plan.
In the past few days, with the addition of formation training, the combat effectiveness and execution ability of the entire first column have improved a lot. Today, it is finally time to see the outcome.
At the same time, in the Chinese army's tent, Luo Shenhou was studying the next strategy and plan.
The barbarian army has already reached the border and is about to arrive.
The three front troops on the left, center and right had already arrived at the front line of the battle and launched the first round of attacks on the barbarians.
This is also the first round of battle between humans and barbarians.
The total strength of the three front armies is about 30,000. This time, the imperial court sent all the elite troops of Dali, plus the recruited personnel of the Jianghu Sect, as well as the disciples sent by the four Confucian and Taoist universities, under the command of Luo Shenhou, enough There are a full army of 300,000 people. This time the advance force dispatched 30,000 troops, mainly to detect the reality of the barbarians.
"Report!!" Outside the Chinese military account, soldiers broadcast the news. This is the most timely and accurate war news on the front line. The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. You must be familiar with the war ahead, so that you can make the most accurate judgment, and then according to the situation Changes and making corresponding decisions as soon as possible are the most important tasks of Luoshenhou sitting here.
"Say quickly." Luo Shenhou asked at this time.
"The vanguard of the three armies suffered heavy losses." The scout spoke about the battle on the front line.
After hearing this, all the generals present felt their hearts sink to the bottom in an instant. The three armies suffered heavy losses, and it could be said that they failed to win the battle.
"The barbarian army is well prepared this time. The three armies they sent are all barbarian warriors. They are brave and good at fighting and have extremely strong combat effectiveness. Our three armies are far behind the elite barbarians. The left front army has 10,000 soldiers and suffered battle losses. Six thousand, the center front army suffered 8,000 losses, and the right front army suffered 7,000 losses." The scout quickly reported the battle on the front line. The three vanguard troops dispatched a total of only 30,000 troops, but as soon as the battle started, there were losses. Twenty-one thousand people.
"Where are the barbarians??" a general asked.
"The total battle losses of the barbarians do not exceed 2,000 people." The scout replied again.
Ten to one battle loss! !
The other generals looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.
They have rich war experience. They have led Dali's army and have been fighting the barbarians all year round. Because the barbarians go south every year to seek opportunities and always want to invade Dali, so wars break out every year, so they are very capable. From experience, I have long known how difficult it will be for them to fight against the barbarians. Basically, the battle loss ratio between the Dali army and the barbarians is roughly three to one.
In other words, the lives of three Dali soldiers can be exchanged for the life of one barbarian soldier. Such a battle loss ratio is actually very high. However, after so many years of confrontation, this is basically the only result that can be obtained. Barbarian soldiers and The size of the human warriors was completely on a different level and incomparable. The barbarians were tall and powerful, with natural brute strength. Ordinary soldiers were no match for them.
Moreover, the three-to-one battle loss basically refers to the elite soldiers and generals in the Dali army dispatched to fight against the barbarians. Only those elite soldiers fighting against the barbarians can achieve such a result, and this is for the human race In terms of results, it is already a very good result.
Most of the advance troops dispatched this time are new soldiers. This is also the strategy Luo Shenhou has set before. These new soldiers must be allowed to quickly transform and grow on the front line of the battle. Needless to say, those soldiers who have died needless to say, but they can The soldiers who survive such a cruel war will soon become the elite among the elite, and sooner or later they will become the mainstay of the Dali army.
This is also an important experience in the formation of Dali's army in previous battles.
Another point was also taken into consideration, that the most elite troops should be left behind to complete the final decisive battle with the barbarians.
But the battle loss ratio of ten to one was too high. Once the war started, it was equivalent to a meat grinder. Those soldiers did not even know how they died, and they died in the cruel war. .
For a moment, everyone's faces were filled with gloom.
"Report!!!" Just when the soldiers felt their hearts heavy, the scout's voice came from outside again.
On the battlefield, the war situation is changing, and some unexpected changes may occur at any time, so there are a large number of scouts so that all situations on the battlefield can be conveyed at any time.
Luo Shenhou waved his hand: "Report quickly."
"Report to the Lord God, generals, great victory, great victory!!!" The scout couldn't hide his excitement at this time and opened his mouth to report the battle on the front line.
Luo Shenhou was slightly startled, and then he was overjoyed. A great victory was good news!
The other generals were all excited at this time, and some were looking forward to what the so-called great victory reported by the scouts was.
"The first column of the Left Front Army did not appear on the battlefield at the beginning. The Left Front Army lost 6,000 people before, all of which were the battle losses of the second, third, fourth and fifth columns. The four columns lost 6,000 people. , only two thousand people are left.”
The scout spoke in detail about the battle ahead: "Originally, the remaining two thousand people in the left front army would be wiped out by the barbarians in an instant, but at this moment, a group of troops crossed out from nowhere. The strange soldiers, that was the first column that disappeared on the battlefield before. The first column was not only well-hidden, but also had weird tactics. They used twenty people to surround a barbarian. After killing them, they dispersed like birds and beasts on the spot. Then they disappeared, and then twenty people appeared again and continued to kill the barbarians.”
"In this cycle, a barbarian team of 800 people was killed by the first column. However, the first column suffered no casualties and had zero battle losses!!"
The scout completely recounted the situation to everyone present.
Together with Luo Shenhou and other generals, they were stunned after listening to the scout's words.
They even doubted their own ears.
Zero casualties, zero battle loss ratio? ?
Annihilate a barbarian team of 800 people? ?
Did I hear wrongly? ?
Everyone was looking at each other with suspicion. They all felt that they had heard wrongly. The first column actually wiped out a team of 800 people without any casualties.
"Is the first column led by the partial general named Lu Jiu?" A general asked at this time.
"Also, was it because he used to train and prepare for war by running??"
When this question was asked, the whole house was in an uproar, and everyone started talking at this time.
