Chapter 106 Summary
"To the general, our army has lost a total of 2,461 killed, 1,727 wounded, 88 chariots damaged and 63 damaged, 227 horses killed and 153 wounded, but the casualties of the Qin army are unknown. Here are the details of the casualties. ”
Li Mu nodded, because on the surface, this battle did not distinguish the winner or loser, the Qin army took the initiative to withdraw its troops, and the two sides cleaned up the battlefield together, and the Zhao army did not count the number of Qin army's casualties, so it was impossible to calculate the losses of the Qin army. However, judging from the situation on the battlefield, the number of casualties of the Qin army is also very obvious that it is more than that of the Zhao army, which is beyond doubt.
At this time, the officials who counted handed Li Mu a pile of bamboo tubes, which were the detailed list of the dead soldiers of each battalion. Li Mu also scattered these bamboo tubes to the commanders of each battalion and let them see for themselves.
Of course, the plateau was most concerned about his own soldiers, so he found the bamboo tube of his battalion and opened it to see that the cavalry had 167 killed and 112 wounded, and the infantry had 278 killed and 223 wounded, making a total of 445 killed and 335 wounded. Combined with previous casualties, the total number of soldiers in the Plateau Battalion will now exceed 800.
At present, about 6,000 combat soldiers from the Plateau Department have been brought to the camp in Jingcheng, accounting for two-thirds of the entire battalion, so the total number of troops reduced has reached more than 10%. Since it was the attrition of the cavalry, it had already exceeded 20%, so the strength of the troops under the plateau had also become the largest loss for each battalion.
However, since the war with the Qin army, the soldiers under the plateau have always been the main force of the Zhao army, and it is today's battle, and the plateau is also a battalion dispatch, so the losses are naturally more than the other battalions. However, in these battles, the cavalry and infantry troops under the plateau have also been tempered in actual combat, which proves that the training of soldiers on the plateau is indeed very effective.
Although the plateau training new cavalry army and infantry army have been fully supported by Li Mu, in the Zhao army, not everyone is convinced by him, because the promotion speed of the plateau in the Zhao army can be described as rapid, only a few months, he can lead a battalion by himself, and he is in charge of nearly 10,000 soldiers, and they are all elite soldiers drawn from Li Mu's Chinese military camp.
It would be better if they had participated in the last battle of Fango, after all, they had been with Gao Yuan for three or four months, and they had also fought together on a shoulder to shoulder, even if they were a little dissatisfied, they would not say it in their mouths. But now the total strength of Li Mukong's Zhao army is close to 300,000, more than twice the strength at that time, and nearly 50,000 of the 120,000 horses stationed in the camp of Jingcheng this time have not participated in the battle of Fanwu. After all, Zhao has always attached great importance to military equipment, and in the army, he mainly depends on real materials and learning, and he may be able to seek a high position in the DPRK by relying only on his background, but he cannot take on important responsibilities in the army.
On the face of official affairs, Li Mu is pressing, of course, no one dares to say anything, but in private, Yong Qi is among the middle and lower-level officers, and there are ** people who are not convinced by Gao Yuan, thinking that Gao Yuan does not have any real learning, but it is because he is Li Mu's son-in-law that he can lead a battalion by himself and take charge alone.
In fact, Li Mu is also very clear about this idea of the middle and lower-level soldiers, of course, it is normal for the soldiers to have this kind of heart, and the plateau is indeed a leap promotion, as long as the plateau shows his own ability, this kind of thinking will be slowly eliminated. Therefore, since the Qin army sent troops, Li Muzhi has let the plateau fight, on the one hand, to let the plateau strengthen the actual combat experience, and on the other hand, to let the plateau make more combat achievements, so as to dispel the imbalance in the hearts of other soldiers.
After these battles, although the dissatisfaction with the plateau in the hearts of the soldiers could not be completely dispelled, it was indeed reduced a lot. In these battles, from the first raid on the Qin army's camp to the first full-scale battle with the Qin army today, the cavalry infantry trained on the plateau all showed strong combat effectiveness and achieved quite outstanding results. After all, the barracks are still a place where strength speaks.
Li Mu also nodded, and said: "Okay, in today's battle, although the Qin army's losses are greater than ours, the Qin army has not lost, and the Qin army's strength is far stronger than ours, so if I expect it to be good, the Qin army will definitely attack us in the next few days, and after today's battle, the Qin army will inevitably adjust its tactics and focus on strong bows and crossbows, so we should not meet the Qin army again. ”
All the generals hurriedly said in unison: "Wow." Then they left one after another, only Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong stayed.
After everyone left, Li Mucai said to Gao Yuan again: "Gao Yuan, in these battles, your subordinates have suffered a lot of casualties, but now you can't transfer troops from the Fanwu battalion, and in the future battles, you still need the men and horses of your battalion to contribute." I would like to transfer another 1,000 cavalry and infantry from the Central Barracks to you, and train them now to supplement the losses of your subordinates in the future. ”
Gao Yuan also nodded, this battle must be a protracted war, and it has just begun, so he really needs to consider the issue of replenishing soldiers, and because his subordinate soldiers, whether they are cavalry or infantry, they all need to undergo strict training before they can participate in the battle of the whole army, and they can't just find someone to play. It is very necessary to train a batch of supplementary troops in advance.
Li Mu said again: "Your table today is very good, to be honest, it has far exceeded my expectations. ”
Gao Yuan was also a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "The general is too awarded, in fact, in this battle, I still have many mistakes, and there are still many things to learn in the future." ”
Li Mu smiled and said: "You don't have to be too humble, anyone will have command mistakes, but you can completely command a battle, which is quite rare, I remember the first time I commanded the battle alone, the simple value was a mess, and the battle was only halfway through, I was completely chaotic, and the subsequent battles were completely relied on the soldiers themselves, and in the end I didn't even know how to get down." ”
Gao Yuan said: "This is all because there was a great general behind me at that time, so I have a bottom in my heart, if there is no great general, I may have been in chaos a long time ago." ”
Li Mu said: "Okay, the next battle, I won't come forward, and I'll completely let you command alone." ”
Li Yinghong said: "Father, what's wrong with you, it seems that you can't wait for Gao Yuan to succeed you, you don't want to leave it alone." ”
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and laughed and said: "I'm so happy, I finally recruited a good son-in-law, of course I can't let him be able to take charge of himself immediately, then there are parents who don't want their daughters to become successful." ”
Li Yinghong listened, although he was very happy in his heart, but he still couldn't erase it, and said coquettishly: "Father." ”
Although Li Yinghong said it unintentionally, Gao Yuan immediately reacted, Li Mu's actions were indeed like trying his best to help himself to the top of the position, and there was a little bit of arranging and arranging the major events behind him, could it be that Li Mu still believed that his limit was coming, so he rushed to let himself take over, but judging from the current situation, Li Mu's fate has not changed? It may not be easy for the Qin State to make a counter-plot, but why does Li Mu still think that he can't escape the limit, is it because the history he knows is wrong.
But Gao Yuan suddenly thought that he knew from his own history that Li Mu's death was due to King Zhao's anti-intrigue of the Qin State and was killed by Guo Kai, so he died unexpectedly. But Li Mu didn't know how he died, so although Li Mu had completely broken with the Zhao court and divided the autonomy, he didn't think that his fate had changed, and he still believed in his teacher's prophecy that he wouldn't survive this year, so he was in a hurry to train himself to take over as much as possible.
So has Li Mu's fate really changed? Or can history be changed? Gao Yuan not only began to question it, after all, there is a lot of saying about time and space travel, whether history will change, and there are many sayings in modern society, some say that it can be changed, some say it can't be changed, but he did come to the Warring States Period, which shows that traveling through time and space is absolutely existing, then traveling through time and space is true, and it is completely possible to change history, at least since he came to this era, then the history of this era has actually changed.
At this moment, two sentences suddenly appeared in Gao Yuan's mind: the fate is not yet decided, and the future will be created by itself...... His heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly understood that compared with the history he knew, Li Mu's fate had indeed changed, but in this time and space, Li Mu had another fate, so it was really difficult to say whether he would not survive this year, it seemed that he was a little too happy. Unless Li Mu can drag it out this year.
Therefore, Gao Yuan also began to wake up to himself, and he must be more cautious and vigilant in the future, pay attention to protecting Li Mu, and not let Li Mu be harmed, and the other is that he will think about the problem in the future, and the history he knows can only be used as a reference, and he cannot take the history he knows as true.
At this time, Li Mu said: "Okay, it's not too early now, after a day's battle today, both of you are tired from a day's work, now go back to the tent and rest." There's a lot going on tomorrow?"
Gao Yuan listened, looked at Li Yinghong again, and finally decided not to tell 60 her, so as not to make her worry, and just pay more attention and be careful in the future. So he said: "General, then we will retire first, and you should rest early." ”
Li Yinghong also said: "Yes, father, you should rest early, and I will leave." With that, the two of them said goodbye to Li Mu and returned to their tents.
