[Chapter 428] There is no regret medicine in this world

(0428)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

In fact, Lin Danhan on the opposite side was also having a headache. At this time, he also noticed his mistake. He regretfully found that his thoughts were still a little rigid. When he was deploying troops, he accidentally treated the White-Clothed Army as an ordinary Ming army. If the White-Clothed Army was an ordinary Ming army, the *** people could easily defeat them with the same number of troops. Unexpectedly, now it made him a little uneasy.

Lin Danhan is absolutely unwilling to do a one-time deal. It is too risky. He cannot easily bet on his future. As Xu Xingxia thought, Xu Xingxia could afford to lose, but he could not afford to lose. Xu Xingxia had a sufficient number of personnel reserves, and the amount of lost soldiers could be replenished at any time. The number of Han people was too large. Not to mention losing 8,000, it would be replenished in a few days. But he couldn't. If he lost 8,000 people, it would take at least two or three years to make up for it.

If it is an attack in batches, it will become a tactic of adding fuel. Apart from wasting life in vain, it has almost no meaning. For Lin Danhan, the tactic of adding fuel will be more dangerous than a one-time transaction. A one-time transaction has some slight scent of betting and burning the boat, and there is also a slight possibility of winning. However, if it is a tactic of adding fuel, this slight possibility will not exist at all.

Moreover, if the first wave of attack fails, the morale of the *** people will inevitably be greatly affected. It can be said that even if the number of personnel is twice as large, the combat effectiveness will not be stronger than the first attack. This is what Lin Danhan regrets the most. Inadvertently, he lost the morale of his own army. Now, even if he finds a way to boost the morale of the troops, he cannot return to his original level.

On the battlefield, morale is very important. Especially when the two armies are in a stalemate, morale becomes a decisive factor. Lin Danhan is very worried that the White-clothed Army will become more and more brave and morale will become higher and higher. High morale will make soldiers unwilling to go down the front line even if they are injured. High morale will keep the combat effectiveness of the White-clothed Army at a very high level. On the contrary, the morale of the *** people is constantly declining. If morale is low, it will be typical for soldiers to work but not work. If there is any accident, they will immediately collapse.

"I'm careless..." Lin Danhan quietly warned himself in his heart. He needed to reflect. He needed to tell himself again that Xu Xingxia and his white-clothed army could not be measured with inertial thinking, especially that they could not be treated as ordinary Ming army. If he made such a mistake again, he would probably never have a chance to turn things around in his life.

"Golden Sweat..." Na Risong suddenly said in a low voice. His face was a little strange. He carefully observed Lin Danhan's face change to consider his words. Compared with Lin Danhan's father, Lin Danhan was much better and had outstanding talents in all aspects. However, Lin Danhan also has some inherent problems with outstanding people. This problem is that he is sometimes stubborn and unwilling to listen to other people's advice.

The meaning of the Risong is that the attack of the *** people will continue, and there is no meaning. Judging from the current situation, the *** people cannot tear open the defense line of the White Army. The *** people cannot even break through the last three rows of horse stakes. If the battle continues to develop like this, it will only increase the casualties of the *** people in vain. Since it is futile, we must withdraw decisively and not bear unnecessary losses.

Lin Danhan said in a deep voice: "You can't withdraw! You must continue!"

Of course he understood what Risong meant. However, Lin Danhan had his own ideas. While the people were suffering casualties, the White-Clothed Army was also suffering casualties. The *** riders who rushed to the front also used their fierce arrows to destroy a considerable number of White-Clothed Army soldiers. This is something that can be seen with the naked eye. Lin Danhan hoped that the number of casualties of the White-Clothed Army would not be able to bear it and would disperse. According to his experience, the casualties suffered by the Han army were at most 30%. Perhaps the same was true for the White-Clothed Army.

...

Xu Xingxia raised the thousand-mile mirror and looked at the battlefield ahead carefully.

There was no special change in the battlefield. Both sides were still constantly consuming, dying, and bleeding. Some of the *** cavalry had already entered the fourth row of the stakes and were struggling to destroy the stakes. However, they often just waved their swords and slashed two or three times before being killed by the Minnie bombs that were fired. These stakes were powerful tools to stop the stakes of the stakes from stakes. How could the white-clothed army tolerate them being easily destroyed?

With the increase in the number of casualties, the attack of the cavalry has shown some decline. This decline is mainly reflected in the decrease in the vitality of the forces, the sparse teams, and the gradual disappearance of the determination to attack. A large number of people died in battle, and the remaining people will naturally be shocked and dare not continue to rush up so fiercely. After all, people are afraid of death. When their attack speed is reduced, the pressure the white-clothed army will naturally be reduced.

Of course, as long as the *** people enter the range, they can shoot fierce arrows, causing losses to the White-Clothed Army. Sometimes, some of the *** cavalry can shoot three consecutive arrows in one breath and kill three White-Clothed Army soldiers in a row. These *** cavalry archers are extremely harmful. Their archery speed is fast, and the white-Clothed Army's reaction is a little slower, and their own casualties will continue to increase. It is estimated that this is also the reason why Lin Danhan is resolutely refusing to withdraw his troops. The personnel from both sides are constantly losing, and it depends on who can hold on to the end.

In the middle of the White-Clothing Army's barracks, wounded people were constantly being sent over. The medical battalion set up a simple field hospital here, which was specifically responsible for the treatment of the wounded. The soldiers of the Engineer's barracks became transport teams at this time, specifically responsible for transporting the wounded. Li Yanfei, the commander of the Engineer's barracks, was also an old man from the White-Clothing Army. When he was in Weizhen Fort, he fought with Xu Xingxia. At this moment, he was tense and counting the numbers of the wounded and the dead without expression.

In order to facilitate calculations, Xu Xingxia promoted Arabic numerals within the White Army. Such simple and easy-to-remember numbers are indeed easier to understand than traditional calculations and can be mastered by ordinary people. Related to Arabic numerals, they are naturally the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division algorithms. Addition and subtraction are relatively simple, and there are more people who can master them. As long as they have a more flexible mind, they can basically master them. As for multiplication and division, the content is a bit profound and most people cannot master them.

Of course, there are always people who are more flexible in mind and willing to study hard, who can break through the limitations of ordinary people and master multiplication and division. For example, Li Yanfei is such a person. His combat skills are actually not very good. When he was with Xu Xingxia, he often played a role as a messenger. However, he is good at arithmetic. He is more skilled in arithmetic, and he is relatively skilled in basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and can barely cope with the mixed calculation of three-digit numbers. The engineer battalion often requires arithmetic. With a skill, he was appointed as the commander of the engineer battalion.

"You can help me calculate..." Suddenly, Li Yanfei whispered a few instructions to the people around him, and hurriedly ran towards Xu Xingxia.

"Sir, our casualties have exceeded 800." Li Yanfei came to Xu Xingxia and whispered to Xu Xingxia. This was Xu Xingxia's previous instructions. The 800 people were one-tenth of the combatants of the White Army. If this limit exceeds this, Xu Xingxia must be careful. If necessary, some special measures need to be taken.

For ordinary troops, there will be no problem with 10% casualties. Twenty percent is not a big problem. However, if it exceeds 30%, you need to be careful. The casualties that ordinary troops can withstand are about 30%. Especially those troops without strict training and strict organization, 30% of the casualties can cause them to collapse. Most of the Ming army belong to this type.

Even if an army with strict training and strict organization needs to take special measures. For example, reducing the organization, re-appointing officers, changing the fighting style, etc. If appropriate adjustments are not made, the battle will definitely not be continued. It seems that the Red Army in later generations had constantly changed its organization and personnel during the Long March. The purpose is to better control the troops, avoid the collapse of the troops, and maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops.

After the battle began, the casualties of the White Army continued to increase, four hundred, five hundred, six hundred, seven hundred... In the end, it exceeded eight hundred... The casualties of the **** people also continued to rise. As for how much it rose, Xu Xingxia didn't know. Only Lin Danhan knew this number. However, he believed that Lin Danhan should soon call the gold and withdraw his troops. If he continued to fight, all his participating troops would die.

From a theoretical perspective, if an army has more than 30% of casualties, it may collapse. If it exceeds 50%, it will basically collapse. In the era of cold weapons, except for some special elite troops, troops that have more than 50% casualties and have not yet collapsed basically do not exist. However, history is often full of miracles, and exceptions are always present.

The cavalry of the nomadic people can generally support 60% or even more than 70% of casualties. This is determined by the nature of their entire people being soldiers. Even if there are many casualties, the remaining small group of people can continue to fight. Of course, this is in terms of a single battle, not the entire battle. If it is a whole battle, even the nomadic people will not be able to withstand such a high casualty rate. It is like the Hellerjin tribe, if the losses of continuous battles exceed 50%, they will not be able to continue to fight against the White Army.

In the distant Western Regions, influenced by religious belief, many armies could even support more than 80% of the casualties and would not collapse. The *** people fought with the Mamluk cavalry in the West Asia region and eventually lost. One of the big reasons was that the Mamluk cavalry was born, and they were all slaves full of religious beliefs. They really fought to the death, and no one retreated even if the entire army was wiped out. The only purpose they were born was to fight. Therefore, even the warlike *** people had to be inferior to them.

Xu Xingxia suddenly put down the Qianli Mile Mile and said casually: "The *** people are going to retreat."

Lin Shenhe seemed to have a feeling, and he looked at the ******* camp in the distance and said to himself: "Yes!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sad oxen horns coming from afar. The *** people used the commands to convey the orders. The difference is that the oxen horns that launched the attack seemed very rapid and exciting, which made people excited and wanted to fight immediately. The oxen horns that retreated seemed very slow and sad, making people feel very heavy.

When they heard the sad Cowhound and the remaining cavalrymen turned around and ran back. They ran back desperately, fearing that their retreat would be too slow and they would be caught up by the bullet rain of the White Army. However, some of the cavalrymen who were red-eyed and continued to rush forward regardless of their concern. These cavalrymen had long lost their minds due to their companions' death and injuries. They only wanted to fight with the White Army. They could fight one by one, and they could fight two by one and earn one by one.

"Bang bang bang!"

The gunshots on the battlefield were still very fierce, and there was no feeling that the *** people were retreating. The *** people were red in their eyes, and the White Army was also red in their eyes? After this battle, the White Army suffered a lot of casualties, so how could the soldiers not be full of anger? For those *** people who rushed up desperately, you can imagine what would be the result of waiting for them. Since you want to die, let's do it for you.

The final result was of course that those *** were beaten into hornets. Thousands of muskets were concentrated on them, and they could imagine what consequences would be. Some *** cavalrymen, who had been hit by many Minnie bullets, turned into pure blood people all over their bodies. This was really riddled with holes. Because there were too many Minnie bullets hit, they were like a ball of mud, paralyzed in a pool of blood.

"The battle is finally over..." Lin Shenhe breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his heart, which had been hanging in his throat, finally fell slowly. The damn *** man finally retreated. This marked that in the first stage of the battle, Lin Danhan was not good at the army and had to choose to retreat. In other words, the white army won.

It is estimated that at this time, Lin Danhan must be very painful and unwilling to accept it! As the Golden Khan, as the ***, issuing such a withdrawal order is a manifestation of defeat. However, in this world, there is no medicine for regret. Failure means failure, and there is no possibility of making excuses.
