The first thousand one hundred chapters go home (sixteen)
In fact, if we look at the number of casualties, this battle cannot be said to be whoever takes advantage of the situation.
Although judging from the enemy's corpses inspected on the battlefield, there were no less than two thousand coalition forces killed in this battle, the damage of the Xuan Armored Cavalry was almost the same.
If there is no subsequent damage, both parties will basically change one and no one will get any advantage.
Of course, since the coalition forces invested more troops, it was not easy for the Xuan Armored Cavalry to be able to fight like this.
But war itself is not a reasonable thing. No matter what background or reason is, it is always based on the results.
This time, Xu Le was in charge of Li Shimin and led the troops in Xuanjia Cavalry. It can be said that all the main forces were produced, and they were still invincible. This was actually a setback for the Tang army.
However, since the army returned to the camp, the morale in the army was higher than before. Even those who had previously opposed the war had changed their attitudes and became Xu Le's supporters, and they were also advocating the war and supporting Xu Le's strategy.
Although they each have their own positions, they are all military generals, all of whom have experienced the battle formation. They are not people who are afraid of death, nor are they playboys who only talk about the military without understanding the situation in the army on paper.
The more the coalition forces can fight, the more they have to fight with them.
If you really stay closed, your morale will really be depressed.
Moreover, Li Shimin made it very clear that Yangwu Castle is like that, and still taking out food to support him, which means that the people's hearts are indeed on his side.
If you lose the people's hearts because of fear of war, it will be really difficult to deal with next time the Turks come back.
The Turks must be forced to retreat, and the people's hearts must be won to their own side, so that the people can firmly believe that the court can protect themselves and that the subsequent things can be done.
The stronger the enemy, the more you have to fight in this battle, otherwise you will only be beaten.
Qu Tutong felt a little scared. If he really fought a war of attrition with the Turks as he said, he would fool him.
Then next time the Turkic army comes again, I am afraid that the Li Tang army will be in danger of being wiped out.
If all the three armies believed that the Turks were invincible, they could only force them to retreat through defense. When the Turkic cavalry went south in the future, there would be no war-free soldiers in the Tang Dynasty to defend against the enemy.
In other words, what matters in Xu Le's battle is not how many enemies were annihilated, but how they gather confidence in the Tang army so that the Tang army will not lose the courage to fight against the Turks. This is far more important than the number of killing and killing enemies.
The only person who has resentment is Changsun Wuji.
His resentment was not the gains of the battle at Yangwu Castle, but the loss of nearly two thousand Xuan Armored Cavalry in one breath. This number really hurts him.
Changsun is not a military man, and his settlement is different from those of Qu Tutong.
What he cares about is how much wealth and time it takes to replenish such a unit.
And these are Erlang's capital. If he loses all of it like this, what will he do in the future?
Besides, the battle is not over yet, and I still have to continue fighting. Isn’t this a prodigal family?
While Xu Le was not in the handsome tent, Changsun sneaked in and muttered in a low voice: "Xu Le is a martial artist, you can do things based on your own happiness and don't care about anything else. Erlang, you can't learn from him.
These soldiers are our capital, and we must not be defeated by him! You and I know the situation now. If we don’t have soldiers, what can we use to compete with Dalang?
If an ordinary army is not useful, it still has to rely on the Xuanjia Cavalry! If he fights the Xuanjia Cavalry with the Golden Wolf Cavalry, how should we gain a foothold?"
"If the Xuan Armor Cavant cannot fight against the Golden Wolf Cavant, what's the point of us fighting for these?"
Li Shimin sighed with a very serious expression, signaling Changsun Wuji to sit down, and then said, "You and I have seen the might of the Turks, and this is something that cannot be avoided.
If we really can't beat the Turks, then what's the use of this world?
Could it be a king who has lost his country and let future generations laugh at me?"
"You can't say that.
Now we can't beat the Turks, but in the future." "If you think so, the Turks will always ride on our heads."
Li Shimin shook his head and sighed: "Changsun, you are resourceful, but because you are too smart and think too much, you have less decisions in doing things.
Many times it is better to do it than think. If you don’t want so much, you will do things neatly.
Gu knows your intentions, but he can't understand Gu's intentions.
I want this country not to command the world to be the best, but to make the world look like it!”
There seemed to be fire burning in Li Shimin's eyes, which made Changsun Wuji dare not look directly at him.
"How powerful was the Han family in the past?
However, since Huan Ling, it has declined day by day and finally led to the Five Barbarians Rebellion.
The Yang family’s father and son unified the world and recreated the universe, and their contributions were indispensable.
However, the father and son were mean and frugal, eager for quick success and instant benefits, and turned a great country into this way.
If this continues, Hu Ma will go south for a moment! The reason why Gu is determined to seize the throne is that he is unwilling to be conspired by villains, and he is also unwilling to become the beautiful country and the former world! If he sits on the throne in order to become the emperor, he will sit down and watch Hu Ma roam the people, what is the difference between Gu and the foolish monarchs in the previous dynasty! Even if he cannot seize the throne in the future, Gu must first let the Turks know that the Han children should not be insulted! He dare not covet them again in a short period of time!"
"Erlang, you understand your intention."
Changsun Wuji lowered his head and his tone became a little deeper.
"I underestimated you before.
But I have to say that even so, I can't do whatever I want.
Now the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in our hands are the essence of Guanzhong.
If you are defeated by a war, it will be out of control."
"Don't worry, Le Langjun can trust you when he is in war."
Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and smiled slightly: "You have worked hard for the rest of the years for the businessmen, and it has also made you develop a business problem.
I like to be petty in everything.
War is not about doing business, so don’t be reluctant to die or suffer.
The Turks are no more than others, and they will naturally be killed or injured.
If you are afraid of death, you will not be able to fight.
Damn it, you have to die. As long as they die more or lose more, it is enough.
Don’t just look at the losses of the Xuan Armor Cavalry, but also their achievements.
The Golden Wolf Cavalry returned in a terrible way this time, which was enough to make the Turks scared.
No one has really defeated the Golden Wolf Cavalry in recent years, so we have set a precedent.
With this, it is enough to shock the world."
Changsun Wuji said: "Erlang said that he also agreed, he was just worried that the Xuanjia cavalry was the sharpest spear in our hands, but this time he hit an iron shield. It is certainly a necessary battle, but can this spear be used now?
I was a little confused."
Changsun Wuji's words were not aimless. The reason why he felt this kind of worry was mainly due to the losses of Xuanjia Cavalry.
Not only the military strength, but also the generals also suffered a lot of losses.
Li Junxian risked his life to use secret techniques and almost lost his life.
It was Xue Ju who thrust and smashed him all the way, and he woke up from the violent state dominated by medicine. In addition, he happened to be dismissed, so he was lucky enough to survive.
However, although human life is preserved, it is damaged by the damage. If you don’t cultivate for a few months, you will not be able to go into battle again.
Li Junxian's significance to the Xuanjia Cavalry is not only a general, but also a commander.
He could not get on the formation, and the command of the Xuanjia Cavalry would be affected.
Moreover, it was not only Li Junxian who lost it, but more than half of the military generals in the middle and lower class lost it.
If you take into account the number of casualties and injuries in the army, if you have an ordinary army, you can basically declare that they have temporarily lost their combat effectiveness and have to rest for a while before going to fight.
Xuanjia Cavalry is the best elite in the world. It is already very good to maintain combat power and morale in the face of such casualties, but it is inevitable that people will doubt whether they can still be as brave as before on the battlefield.
After all, the opponent has such a terrifying existence as Golden Wolf Crane.
Just thinking about the reputation of this team, Changsun Wuji felt a headache.
Now the troops at hand can still be held up if they defend, but Erlang and Xu Le are both determined to attack.
They never thought about what would happen if they were defeated in the decisive battle?
Including the battle at Yangwubao, it is also a small fight.
The battle between more than 100,000 troops is a way to compete for strength and family fortune.
You have to figure out whether your family is sufficient or not.
Li Shimin is right. He has been thinking about strategy over the years and is not a qualified warrior.
But because of this, I am better at calculating, rather than rushing up and hitting without worrying about the heat.
From a calculation point of view, the winning rate of the game is now only 50%.
"Five percent is enough!"
Li Shimin smiled slightly: "What Changsun, what you want me to do is much more serious than a defeat, but how can you win 50%?
You dare to do that, why don’t you?
In Gu's opinion, if you have 50% chance of winning, it is worth suppressing everything! Besides, if you win the 50% this time, the chance of winning will be more than 50%. Do you admit this?"
Now Changsun Wuji has nothing to say, but he can't think of any way to ensure victory over the Turks for a while.
The combat power of the Golden Wolf Cavalry and the casualties of the Xuan Armor Cavalry really scared Changsun Wuji.
This is not counting. I heard that Xu Le was also injured, so this is not good news.
This young Shenwu general who has always been rampant in the world with the name of invincibility was actually injured?
How scary is this Western Qin Overlord?
Who can make him?
Li Shimin had his own plans: "Of course there is no way to win every battle, but the way to win may not be.
When you think the battle between Yangwu Castle is just a simple confrontation?
You, if you don’t understand military strategies, you won’t understand the matter here.
