Liu Mingzhi stood on the city wall and looked at the deserted Gobi Desert thousands of miles outside Gulan City.
Lop Nur in future generations, the place where big mushrooms are grown, will be included in the territory of Dalong in the near future!
"Commander, the battle damage statistics are out!"
Liu Mingzhi turned around and looked at the thick roster of Dalong soldiers in Song Qing's hand, and his heart sank. The more rosters, the worse the situation was.
"Tell me, I'm mentally prepared!"
"None of the sword and shield archers were killed in the battle. One hundred and ninety-seven of the sword and shield soldiers were seriously injured and 1,192 were lightly injured. 432 of the archers were seriously injured and 1,433 were slightly injured.
All eighteen people were hit by the arrows fired by Gulan City! There was no fear for their lives. Although the guards of Gulan City were suppressed by the rain of arrows and did not dare to show their heads, the arrows they fired still caused a lot of damage to us.
Damage! People from the Western Regions are not only excellent in riding skills, but their bows and arrows cannot be ignored!"
"How about the Cavalry and the Modao Team?"
"There were no casualties. One hundred and forty-three light cavalry were seriously injured and more than 400 were slightly injured. The heavy cavalry suffered some serious injuries. More than one thousand two hundred were seriously injured and one thousand six hundred and thirty-eight were slightly injured. All the soldiers were seriously injured.
They were injured by being thrown by war horses, or their leg bones were broken by being trampled by war horses! According to the military doctor, nearly one hundred and forty-three brothers can no longer ride horses and can only be converted into infantry, which is more difficult for them than
It is even more uncomfortable to die in battle! More than 2,100 war horses were damaged, all of which had their legs chopped off, and only more than 900 of them could be kept alive!"
"Where's Team Mo Dao?"
"There were no casualties. Forty-two people were seriously injured and were knocked out by the galloping horses. More than 740 people were slightly injured!"
"Didn't a single brother die in the battle?"
"Not a single soldier of the three armies died in the battle!"
Liu Mingzhi loosened his grip on the Heavenly Sword and knelt heavily on one knee towards Dongfang!
"Commander!"
"Commander!"
"Commander, get up quickly, there is gold at your knees!"
"Commander, what are you doing?"
With a comfortable smile on his lips, Liu Mingzhi held the Heavenly Sword in his hands, knelt down with his legs and kowtowed nine times.
"God bless my western expedition army!"
"God bless my western expedition army!"
"God bless my western expedition army!"
Upon seeing this, all the generals also knelt down on one knee!
"The great dragon is victorious!"
"The great dragon is victorious!"
"The great dragon is victorious!"
One after another, the 390,000 troops in the city were infected with each other and knelt down on one knee toward the east, shouting loudly in the face of the setting sun in the west that the dragon would be victorious!
Only Liu Mingzhi knows how much pressure he is under. Every time a brother is killed in battle, it means that he has to send a jersey to their family.
He wanted to take everyone home, hoping that God would bless the Western Expedition army with a complete victory and return in triumph!
After calming down for a while, Liu Mingzhi looked at Song Qing and others: "How is the situation in Gumo Country?"
"One thousand, four hundred and twenty-one people were killed, 3,200 were seriously injured, and 4,700 were slightly injured!"
Liu Mingzhi thought for a while and nodded: "The pensions of the Gumo soldiers who died in the war will be paid according to Dalong's 80%, and the seriously injured soldiers will order military doctors to treat the wounded without discrimination!"
"Commander, isn't the 80% pension too much? They are fighting to get a city for themselves, not for the dragon. We shouldn't be the ones to distribute the pension!"
"The general seconded the proposal!"
"The general also seconded the proposal!"
Liu Mingzhi's face darkened: "You all think so?"
Although Ning Chao and others didn't say anything, they looked very reluctant.
"The soldiers of Gumo Kingdom are fighting for one city, but have you ever thought that without their forward attack, the more than 1,400 soldiers who died in the attack on the city were our brothers, and our casualties would be even more severe!"
"How can there be such a good thing if only cattle plow the fields and don't want cattle to eat grass? The soul of an army is that rewards and punishments are clear. If you die in battle, you will have no worries. Your parents, wives and children can live a long life. Only an army can use its heart and soldiers' lives.
The battle is invincible. After this battle, the soldiers of Gumo Kingdom are our comrades, brothers who eat from the same pot!"
"The leader of the Gumo Kingdom is fighting for a city, but these soldiers are fighting for our Western Expedition Army. They are fighting to prevent us from losing one of our brothers. From now on, I don't want to hear that you will kill Gumo again."
Treat the soldiers of the Mo Kingdom as outsiders!"
"Yes, the general will realize his mistake and will obey the commander's instructions!"
"Brothers, I am not reprimanding you anymore. Only by treating the soldiers of Gumo Kingdom as one of our own can the Western Regions be included in Dalong's territory forever. If you treat them as outsiders, they will naturally not treat Dalong as one of their own.
Even if we fight against each other, we will still be separated. I don’t want the land captured by our brothers to shed their blood and sacrifices to be separated from Dalong’s territory one day!”
Cheng Kai and others lowered their heads in shame. It seemed that they could never guess what the commander was thinking!
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the Gobi Desert outside the city with his hands behind his back: "This is not a barren land, but thousands of miles of fertile wilderness. After being watered with the blood of the soldiers, the thousands of miles of fertile wilderness will show a vibrant scenery!"
"After the end of the Western Expedition, I will order an immortal monument to be erected here to commemorate the soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed for the unification of China, so that future generations will remember how hard-won their happy life was.
Ge Tiema paid for it with his young life!"
"Commander, the last general has realized his mistake. Please ask him to deal with it according to the military law!"
"Remember this for each person and twenty military sticks. I will deal with you after the Western Expedition is over!"
"Thank you, Marshal!"
"Let's go, first go to where we are staying to summarize today's battle situation!"
"Got the order!"
A map was laid out on the table in Dashao Liu's temporary residence, and even Zha Sang was included in this meeting.
"Relying on the strength of our troops and armor, our Western Expeditionary Army was six times more numerous than the garrison of Gulan City. We captured Gulan City and still suffered heavy losses! Ning Chao and Han Peng tell us about your cavalry confrontation!"
"The cavalry are very powerful. Their horsemanship and archery skills are eye-opening. If the heavy armor hadn't blocked the arrow attack, at least the brothers who stepped forward would have been killed!"
Han Peng also sighed with lingering fear: "Their scimitars couldn't cut through our armor, so they attacked the legs of the horses. The reason why the cavalry suffered such heavy casualties was because they were thrown away by the horses with broken legs and fell. Their cavalry commander
He is a man who can train the cavalry to be so elite!"
Liu Mingzhi gently tapped the palm of his hand with the bamboo pole in his hand.
"Don't be discouraged after seeing how powerful the cavalry in the Western Regions is. Instead, you must dare to look directly at your own shortcomings and gather the best of hundreds of experts to make up for your own shortcomings. If you can't compare with others, you can't compare with others. There is nothing to be ashamed of, only
Only when you realize your shortcomings can you make further progress!”
"I have been watching the battle between the cavalry on both sides of you. The horses of the Gulan City cavalry charge very quickly. Their horses are much taller than ours and have a lot of endurance. This is a gift given to them by God.
Advantages, but riding skills are acquired, if they can do it you can do it too!"
"yes!"
"The war horses of Dawan are even more famous. There are no empty warriors under the great reputation. We must show 100% of our faith to face the upcoming big countries of Dawan. Don't be frightened by their names. They are all carried on two shoulders."
With one head, our horses are not as good as theirs, and their weapons and armors are not as good as ours! What matters in war is morale. Once morale is not good, your army of one million people will be of no use!"
"The general will obey the commander's orders!"
"We must find a way to restrain the superiority of the cavalry in the Western Regions. Do you have any good ideas? Ten thousand light cavalry and five thousand heavy cavalry surrounded five thousand people in Gulan City. The heavy cavalry also seriously injured so many soldiers. We must contain the strength of their cavalry.
It’s the advantage that matters!”
“&……%￥%#%%#”
Liu Mingzhi looked at Zasang in a daze, not knowing what he meant, so he had to look at Gumo Rongrong beside him!
"General Zasang said that if the distance between the heavy cavalry and the Gulan City cavalry had not been too close, once they charged, the dragon soldiers would have been thrown away from the horse at the speed of the war horse, and they would have died or been maimed!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded clearly: "General Zasang is right. I also forgot to mention this. If the speed of the Gulan City cavalry had not been restricted by the light cavalry, otherwise the soldiers would have been thrown away by the horses if both sides charged with all their strength.
I'm just afraid it will be direct..."
Everyone present understood what Liu Mingzhi meant before he finished speaking!
"Commander, I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible or not!"
Young Master Liu looked at Murong Shan curiously: "Let's talk about it. Participate actively. It's okay if you make a mistake. Now you can think of another way if you make a mistake. The enemy on the battlefield will not give you a chance to correct it!"
"Since the war horses from the Western Regions gallop very fast, our cavalry cannot easily and effectively curb their speed. So why not use their speed to defeat them? It is better to block them than to sparse them, and use the enemy's strengths to attack the enemy's strengths!"
Young Master Liu thought for a while and stared at Murong Shan closely with his eyes brightening.
"Use their speed? You mean the chain link?"
"That's right. Once the charging momentum of the war horses encounters the chain link of the chariot, they will be overturned. Their speed will become fatal."
"Great idea, it seems that the forgotten chariot will be glorious in front of the cavalry of the Western Regions."
