Chapter 1374 Investigate the enemy's situation
Wu Feng wanted to investigate the enemy's military situation alone, which was not a whim, but his decision after careful consideration.
The 600 Dark Night Feather Clan among these 8,600 people cannot be used yet. It can be said that as long as they fly into the sky, the Hays Empire, which has suffered losses, will definitely find them at the first time. Then what Wu Feng wants to do will not be able to do. As for the other 8,000 people, Wu Feng just asked them to lurk from a distance to prevent the enemy from discovering it. To be honest, although there are special spies inside, Wu Feng felt that if they were asked to investigate the information, it might be safer than going by themselves.
This is because in Wu Feng's opinion, if you check it yourself, it will definitely be safer, because only he is the strongest here. And the current Eastern Expedition camp must have gathered the most powerful force of the enemy. It would be fine if the spies under him checked it from a distance. If you want to check the information close, you may be discovered by the enemy. At that time, under the siege of the enemy masters, you may be dead and unable to escape.
In his opinion, he was the only one who took action and was more confident, so Wu Feng went out without hesitation. Wu Feng quietly sneaked into a place very close to the Eastern Expedition Camp and carefully observed the situation of the Eastern Expedition Camp. Since the Eastern Expedition Camp was built on the water, Wu Feng just found a relatively high place to let them see clearly. Soon he discovered a relatively remote place in the southeast. Although the ships were also connected together by iron chains, it was obvious that there were fewer people there than elsewhere.
If it were not surprising, it was the place where Lang Qing and Zhao Quan's troops, who had suffered the most losses in the battle, were stationed, so Wu Feng quietly lurked to this place. After getting close, he became more sure of his judgment, because the Hays Empire warriors who were operating here could clearly see that they had many injuries on their bodies when they were in action.
Wu Feng could clearly see that when these soldiers were in action, they had fought with him in a group of people. There was no doubt that now it is certain that the two teams stationed here must have participated in the battle before.
Wu Feng sneaked in quietly and saw a soldier alone, so he touched him very carefully. He killed the soldier while others were not paying attention and changed into his clothes. Although these ships were all connected by iron chains, there was still a big gap between the chains, which only played a role in stabilizing and fixing the ship, so there was a distance between the ships.
Wu Feng took advantage of this underwater distance and kept sneaking inside. In fact, under the water, there were also some defensive measures, fishing nets, etc., but these things naturally could not stop Wu Feng. Wu Feng would come soon
When we reach this deeper place, the ship array is mainly small boats on the periphery. The more we go inside, the more large boats there are. For example, where Wu Feng is now, it is very obvious. They are all large boats, and they should be the places where some important figures are located.
Wu Feng poked his head out of the water and saw that there were not many people around him, so he came from the water to the deck. Then he quietly came to a cabin and heard some sound inside, so he made a small hole in the window.
In this place where there is no magic magic, Wu Feng was subjected to many restrictions, but he still had very strong strength. Soon he discovered that in this cabin, an enemy general was saying something. After discovering such a situation, Wu Feng had to listen more carefully.
It was Zhao Quan and Lang Qing who were here.
"General Wang, you are suffering heavy losses! I don't know if the above will make up for you?"
The person who spoke was Zhao Quan. He was slightly better than Lang Qing. He did not lose a lot of people. After a series of hard battles, the one who lost was really a lot, and there were almost no people left. After returning, the governor did not immediately add his troops, and he didn't know what it meant.
Lang Qing smiled bitterly and said to Zhao Quan, "It is not that simple to fill up the troops. You have to know that the empire is going to war everywhere, and having troops in your hands is a guarantee for making achievements. Therefore, if you want to transfer troops from other generals to supplement us, it is simply a dream. The biggest possibility is to summon new recruits, but this new recruit is also very limited. Another thing takes time. I see this time, you can make up 70% of the total force, and I can make up half of the full amount."
"well!"
Zhao Quan sighed, "This is nothing to do. Who told us to be unlucky! But I'm better, at least I can still keep one hundred centuries of men. Even if I have fewer troops, I can fight a few more battles and train some veterans. If you make up for it, you can only make up half of the troops. That's bad. You don't have many people left, and even if you make up for it, there are still not enough people. In this way, I'm afraid that if the person has not been trained, the soldier will be consumed first. Then when you can replenish your troops next time, you don't know when it will be."
The situation Zhao Quan mentioned is also a situation facing many generals of the Hays Empire now, that is, if they suffer losses during this battle, it will be difficult to fill the team. That is, if you originally had a 10,000 personnel, and after you lose half of the loss and only 5,000 personnel will be left, at most you will be able to make up for another 7,000 personnel.
So in this situation, like this Lang Qing
If the loss is only two or three more horses left, he can only make up for the first half of the horses without losing it. If he has such a force, there will be no military training. I am afraid that the force will be gone before two battles have occurred. It will be even more difficult to replenish it at that time.
This is because in the Hays Empire, almost every general faces war. In this case, the soldiers in his hands are the guarantee of their achievements. No one is willing to distribute their troops. Everyone is very strict in capturing military power. If they want to replenish, they can only replenish new recruits. However, because the war starts too frequently, the team's losses are also very great. Those new recruits are not enough to just give a single point.
Moreover, this recruit is not unlimited. Each batch of recruits must undergo a period of training. It can be said that the current Hayes Empire is actually very nervous about the source of troops. Although it has four battalions, each battalion has an army of 10 million, in fact, the troops in this camp are constantly fighting, consuming, and constantly replenishing the Hayes Empire. Now there is a very shortage of manpower.
Moreover, the Hays Empire has always been wary of other conquered countries. It can be said that when they fight, they will not use the conquered country's army as their own troops to fight. This is different from the practice of ordinary countries. If ordinary countries conquer other countries, they will definitely use the surrendered troops of other countries as cannon fodder for their own side and send them to the war.
However, this was not the case in the Hays Empire. Only their own country could fight in the army, and these people in their own country must undergo very strict training to allow them to enter the army.
Although the Hays Empire is known as the largest territory and the largest number of people in the world, the actual force is not large, and it is following the policy of elite troops. This policy of elite troops has made great contributions to the establishment of the Hays Empire. It can be said that the Hays Empire can be invincible and invincible when fighting, which is mainly related to their policy of elite troops. However, it is also this method of elite troops that limits their strength.
It can be said that there are both advantages and disadvantages. Now Lang Qing and Zhao Quan are worried that the troops they have lost are difficult to replenish, but they are about to fall into a series of battles, which is equivalent to blocking their chance to make meritorious service. Moreover, they are actually guilty of defeat and are very eager to have the opportunity to make meritorious service. This opportunity is not enough without troops under their command.
