Chapter 667
Early in the morning, Shen Hao stood on the campground, and he wanted to practice the battle formation with the personal guards in the camp.
Since Shen Hao became the Little Flag many years ago, he has not practiced much in battle formations. Although he generally remembers it, he is still very unfamiliar after the actual drill and cannot reach the level of killing the enemy in battle, so he simply practiced with his personal guards.
There is also the Xu Xiaowei who had followed Shen Hao to Jianchuan to participate in the Jianchuan Victory. Now that Xu Xiaowei has re-funded his troops, he has set up camp next to the camp of the Supervisor, and is always obeyed the orders. He will come here to visit each other and bring his soldiers and the personal guards of Shen Hao to practice battle formations. He will also give some practical experience guidance.
In addition to the battle formation, Shen Hao also took this opportunity to make up for some of his shortcomings, such as riding skills and some basic concepts in the battle formation.
Compared to the two guys Zhang Qian and Gan Lin, the Captain Xu in front of him is obviously much more patient, and he is always willing to give him all his best. As long as Shen Hao has any questions about military affairs, he will do his best to answer them. He will not be impatient because Shen Hao often asks some ridiculous questions about laymen.
So this Xu gave Shen Hao a good impression, and he felt like he had found a good teacher.
And this is true. Shen Hao has made great progress in his understanding of military affairs over the past month. It is no longer appropriate to say that he is a rookie who has just started. He has figured out the basic methods. In particular, combined with the information sent back by the supervisors of various military forces, Shen Hao gradually felt that he could see Zuo Yuliang's layout in the barbarian territory.
For more than a month, the battle between the Jingji Dynasty and the barbarians has been carried out with Jianchuan as the core, but the front line moved from the three military camps in Jianchuan to the front line of Shimen and the military camp in front of the gate. At the same time, the two military camps in the middle and lower areas have also begun to attack frequently, threatening the barbarians' defenders opposite Jianchuan with harassment and tentative attacks.
This situation is completely reversed from two months ago. Jingjiu Dynasty got the initiative, while the barbarians can only defend passively now.
However, according to Xu Xiaowei, Jianchuan was actually affected by the terrain, and neither the barbarians nor the national dynasty could prepare for a decisive battle. He could only slowly grind or steal the city. In order to achieve a strategic victory, he had to completely penetrate the opponent's defense line.
This is the same as what Zhang Qian said to Shen Hao when he was in Shimen Military Village. He is not optimistic that Jianchuan can decide the outcome in a short period of time and completely change the course of the war. Just the word "数" is not known how long it will take for both sides.
But don’t think that “grinding” means both sides are slack. On the contrary, the word “grinding” can be understood as a flesh-and-blood mill. The intensity of offensive and defensive battles that Shen Hao experienced in the upper military camp of Jianchuan before, and it is still continuing, but the place has changed from the upper military camp of Jianchuan to the Shimen and the front military camp in front of the gate.
Since Shen Hao left the customs, he could see almost every day that the main forces of the four established fronts passed by or set out from Wuhu in the form of mixed troops, and 70% of them went to Jianchuan. Moreover, the number of mixed troops retreated from Jianchuan was very small. Generally speaking, it was a main army of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. After one month, only half of the people were left, including the wounded.
Shen Hao was not sure about the specific casualties since the war started, but he probably estimated that there would be no less than 50,000 people!
If we compare the one-to-two battle losses, the number of people killed by one barbarians will reach a terrifying 100,000, and this number is only high and not low, because compared with the medical system of the Jingji Dynasty, the barbarians are relatively simple and not a little bit, and the number of people killed by the wounded cannot be treated may be far greater than that of the Jingji Dynasty.
So the barbarians seem to be more severely slapped at the moment. The reason is simple. Putting aside the even force at the cultivator level, the strong individual combat power of the barbarians is actually at a clear disadvantage in the face of better equipment and better combat formations of the Jingji Dynasty soldiers.
If you count this way, Jingjiu Dynasty still makes a profit, but it is not a great thing to talk about winning or losing by relying on the death toll on the death to the death.
If you can withstand it, you still have to give Shimen Military Village a first merit. You have opened up the Wanli Bamboo Sea and sent various supplies directly to the front line with a shorter path. There is almost no need to worry about the route being cut off by the barbarians. The danger in the Wanli Bamboo Sea has become a barrier to this new supply line.
It is precisely because of the passage between Shimen Military Village and the Wanli Bamboo Sea that Jianchuan now has the confidence and courage to take the initiative, and consciously eliminate the barbarians and have the vitality.
South of Jianchuan, Baitouxia also fought fiercely, and it suddenly increased the intensity of the fight after the Jianchuan victory. Although it was not as good as Jianchuan, it was more than twice that of the early stage of the confrontation.
Compared with Jianchuan and Baitouxia, the southernmost Tiger Zhuyuan can be called "leisurely". It is completely like a tacit understanding between the two sides, making small fuss, and even a decent offensive and defensive battle. So far, Tiger Zhuyuan's casualties are less than 20% of Jianchuan's casualties.
The contrast between strong and weak is extremely obvious, so many soldiers who have just arrived in Wuhu will look bad when they hear that they go to the Huzhuyuan to guard, because who doesn’t want to go to the most intense place when they first go to the battlefield? The more fierce the fight, it means that they can get more credit. Who doesn’t want to rely on the barbarians to gain a future for themselves? I heard that Huzhuyuan is still confronting each other, and they are willing to go to Jianchuan, and it’s better not to go to Baitouxia.
Only those soldiers who came down from the front line did not say a word, but still hoped to go to a place with a low intensity next time. They now knew that they were not a hero or an immortal god of war, and living was the simplest idea in their hearts.
But this did not prevent the Jingji Dynasty from becoming more and more motivated. Even though he wanted to choose a relatively safe place after experiencing life and death, the military order was still unswerving.
What there is no condition in the army is that this is an iron rule that all people who are "willed" and "unwilled" know.
It was just after noon, and the sun was still above my head. This season in Fengri City must be quite cold, but in Wuhu, you only need to wear a single garment to keep the heat in there, and the temperature is rising rapidly every day.
"Sir, the Zuo Shishi of the Central Army, please come over immediately, saying that there is a military strategy meeting to ask you to attend."
When Shen Hao received the notice, the battle formation was over, and he was so tired that he had no time to change his clothes. After taking the order and verifying it, he immediately left the camp and walked quickly to the central army tent.
After coming for so long, Shen Hao also understood some rules. Zuo Yuliang, the general daily military strategy, would not ask him to attend. He would only call him when it was important to the entire battle situation or when the entire army was mobilized and asked for advice.
Today is the first time Shen Hao was called to attend a military strategy meeting after returning to Wuhu last time. I wonder what Zuo Yuliang has to say.
