Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 53

"The thief will be given the head, the thief army has been defeated, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

At this time, Ding Feng couldn't open his eyes on the bleeding side, but he was still holding a four-meter-long spear, waving it like a banner, and what was hanging on the spear was Li Feng's head...

The Huainan cavalry who came up with reinforcements lost their general as soon as they came up, and other captains under their command also panicked. Although they did not surrender on the spot for a while, they could no longer form a unified momentum. Among the layers of Qu'a spearmen, Under restraint, the cavalry who were in disarray were no different from other infantry!
On the other hand, the [-] elite troops led by Liang Gang had just approached the battlefield when they were defeated by their own side and their formation was thrown into chaos.

Although he shouted "move around the formation" and "those who rush into the formation die", whether he wanted to order to appease the fleeing friendly troops or direct his own soldiers to kill the defeated friendly troops, the generals needed to have sufficient command ability, and Liang Tsuna obviously can't.

After shouting for a long time, I actually killed some of the defeated troops who rushed to the formation, but in the end, it triggered a rebound from the defeated troops...

This is also the way Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry learns from the Qiang Cavalry.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the opponent's formation, hundreds of Bingzhou wolf cavalry rushed into the enemy's formation like wolves into a herd of sheep-the sparse array of infantry was nothing in front of the cavalry!

When Liang Gang finally relied on his "human life" to slow down the momentum of Bingzhou Cavalry, he heard a burst of exclamation...

From a distance, I could only see that Zhang Xun's flag had fallen on the general platform, and there was chaos around the general platform!
It was Lu Bu and the three hundred cavalry who had divided the troops, and they had already broken into the general platform before the soldiers and horses from the camp arrived...

"Zhang Xun is dead. Those who kneel down and surrender will avoid death!" Qu Ajun began to shout.

Liang Gang did not fully believe that "Zhang Xun was dead", but he also realized that the morale of the army was in chaos and could not be restored. At this time, facing the charging Bingzhou Cavalry, he quietly put away the general's flag and guarded it with dozens of soldiers. Down, all the way to the west to escape.

On the other hand, Zhang Xun is indeed not dead yet—before Lu Bu rushed up, Zhang Xun had already fled in panic like Liang Gang. Having been deprived of my ambition, I just want to escape intact!

And Lu Bu and the three hundred Bingzhou cavalry, like a pack of wolves chasing sheep, pursued an army ten times their size...

The only role of the three thousand battalions was to block the roads and slow down the cavalry.

Bai Tu was in Qu'a City, waiting with some anticipation and more nervousness. In the afternoon of that day, Chen Gong finally returned to the army, bringing a large number of prisoners with him.

At this time, the real generals in Zhang Xun's army were specially searched and detained, while other soldiers had their weapons and equipment confiscated and were driven away in groups...

"Okay!" Bai Tu secretly cheered from the tower.

Although Chen Gong seemed very confident before, after all, it was "four thousand vs ten thousand", or actually "four thousand vs ten thousand + ten thousand", so Bai Tu was still mostly uneasy, but he tried not to show it. .

Looking at this large number of prisoners now, it means that our side has won a complete victory!
After arranging the treatment of the prisoners, Chen Gong also immediately came to see Bai Tu and personally reported the results of the battle.

In the battle outside the city, Zhang Xun's [-] army was completely defeated. At the cost of less than [-] casualties, nearly [-] enemies were killed and [-] were captured. Continue to expand.

Because the enemy's morale was destroyed in a short period of time, rather than a bloody battle that lasted for several days, the proportion of battle losses for the victor was very considerable.

It can also be seen by looking at the casualties of the opponent. In a cold weapon battle, the number of direct kills is often not very large. For example, in this war, the losses of both sides did not exceed [-]%—others were "crushed", and Not "death".

In fact, in a battle, unless it is a fierce battle that lasts for several days, with various arrays taking turns to fight, or strategies such as water attacks and fire attacks are used, and they are fully successful, there will basically be no direct casualties. More than [-]%!

In other words... it was basically defeated before the casualties reached [-]%!

It is difficult for "qualified" soldiers with normal training to withstand [-]% casualties without losing their morale. Even elites who have fought a hundred battles under strict orders and commanded by famous generals will not be able to withstand more than [-]% casualties.

On the one hand, a single array will collapse when the casualties are [-] to [-]%. At this time, the defeated army still knows how to "walk around the array", which is considered qualified.

The more arrays that are destroyed at the same time, the faster the low morale will be infected. As a whole, if the casualties of the military array exceed [-] to [-]%, it will also lead to the collapse of the entire army...

The fierce battle that lasted for several days is essentially a process of constantly gathering defeated troops, and then taking turns to enter the battlefield. For a certain formation, it is equivalent to several battles.

As for water attacks and fire attacks... In fact, morale has collapsed long ago, but the soldiers cannot escape, so the casualty ratio will be extremely high, so there is a saying that "water and fire have no mercy".

And for the victorious side, or when the battle is drawn and each withdraws their troops, they can have time to gather the defeated troops after the war, so the battle loss ratio will be very low.

However, once defeated, even if the gathering place in the rear is not lost, the number of defeated troops that can be gathered will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, when the battle ends in a draw, the fighting will not stop for several months, but after a period of defeat, the number of troops will be greatly reduced and the troops will flee in panic.

In addition, Bai Tu also noticed that although he was a Ji Zao soldier,... as long as his injuries were slightly serious, it was basically impossible to recover. The "casualties" reported by Chen Gong already included these serious injuries.

A small half of them can be converted into laborers, and the rest can only gradually dissipate - this is also in line with the characteristics of trauma medical treatment in the cold weapon era.

Bai Tu has also made up his mind to equip trauma medical and military medical systems and add them to the technologies to be developed as a priority. However, it cannot be done with the strength of three counties, at least after Bai Tu takes Jiangdong. .

"The names of generals who died in battle, whether they were corps commanders or captains, locals or athletes from Bingzhou, must be counted and their pensions must be in place, especially those whose homes are in Qu Asan County, and whose family circumstances are also You need to register, and arrange for someone to visit during the holidays in the future," Bai Tu instructed.

"Don't worry, Mr. Bai, Gong understands." Chen Gong accepted the order.

"My foster father has been chasing me for so long..." Bai Tu said worriedly.

"With my lord's bravery, and the enemy troops fleeing in panic, Lord Bai is just waiting for good news." Chen Gong trusted Lu Bu more.

After Lu Bu chased Chen Gong beyond the maximum distance that Chen Gong could see from the high platform, Chen Gong immediately canceled the "Smart Strategy" effect on Lu Bu, otherwise the mental energy consumption would be too exaggerated.

The pursuing Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry came back one after another, bringing back some follow-up news - Lu Bu led his men in pursuit, and there were not many prisoners surrendered along the way, only a few hundred.

It was not until night that Lu Bu returned to the city with the last few hundred riders unhappily.

"Zhang Xun is not good at fighting, but he was cunning when escaping. He used the infantry at the rear to stop him, and changed clothes with his own soldiers... I just killed a bunch of fake ones!" Lu Bu said depressedly.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a group of remnants who have been defeated. I think they are about to cross the river. We have already won a complete victory this time!" Bai Tu didn't care if Zhang Xun was captured or not.

At this time, Zhang Xun was just as Bai Tu expected. When he crossed the river, he landed at Digang, Danyang County, and barely gathered more than [-] defeated troops, preparing to continue crossing the river and withdrawing north - Qu'a had already recovered Danyang at this time. Their strength cannot be stopped by these defeated armies.

At the same time, Gan Ning was taking more than a dozen water villages on the annexed Yangtze River, totaling nearly a thousand people, down the river to Qu'a...
