The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 389: Standing soldiers go into battle

After sending 10,000 feet to serve as cannon fodder, the front of the opposing coalition forces really rioted.

Although the lightness dispatched is nothing but cannon fodder that does not reach Tier 1, the individual strength is extremely weak, but most of the army on the opposite side is even worse. In comparison, these cannon fodder can be called elite.

So in the case of far fewer people than the opponents, the opponents that these forwards were able to fight are losing steadily. The entire front line has moved back two or three hundred meters, and the entire front line is completely chaotic.

However, although the cannon fodder is brave in combat, everyone has been mentally mobilized before going to the battlefield, and has a mortal consciousness.

But after all, their numbers are still too small, and thousands of soldiers have been lost in order to cross the death barrier.

After that, we will fight head-on. Although many of the troops on the opposite side are too scumbags, there are still a large number of samurai corps as elite.

These samurai legions, after seeing that the farmers who had been brought in were unreliable, decisively concentrated a part of their forces and attacked this part of the cannon fodder lightly.

With the efforts of these warriors, they used them as arrows to assault, and the weak chickens behind them were used as wings to cover and kill, and the thousands of cannon fodder that quickly rushed to the enemy's line lost a lot. The number has dropped sharply to less than 5,000, and it is still declining extremely sharply at a faster rate.

However, although the momentum of these light attacks was severely stagnated, the original unstoppable momentum was also stopped, and was trapped in the enemy’s crowd, like a boat in the waves, at any time All overturned.

At the same time, these cannon fodder have accomplished their task easily, which is to disrupt the enemy's line and buy time and opportunities for the next group of main forces to advance.

When most of the 8000 Cannon Fodder Corps was consumed, another elite corps of 5,000 or so had already been slowly pushed forward.

These are all composed of soldiers with first-tier strength, and they can be regarded as the backbone of the world under the command of every big name, and they are used to hold the bottom of the box.

There are not many soldiers and horses of this kind in the world under the command of major names, and the opposing coalition has only 8,000 troops, which shows that this kind of soldiers and horses are elite and rare.

Now 5,000 people were taken out all of a sudden. I have to say it is a big deal, especially after the consumption of the previous river crossing.

Even if there were more than 7,000 soldiers killed or injured across the river, most of them were cannon fodder. Compared to the entire army as a whole, the loss of strength was not serious, but nearly two thousand Tier 1 soldiers were killed.

The entire army only had 20,000 Tier 1 soldiers, and 1/10 was gone all at once, which was definitely a big blow.

Now I have to send another 5,000 Tier 1. From the perspective of the strength of the opposing coalition, it is estimated that these 5,000 people will be the result of most of the losses, plus those cannon fodder losses.

Judging from the current progress of this war, even if it ends now, the Dojo army will lose 1/3 of its strength.

This kind of damage can be called a wound. Even if the war is won, the dojo army is estimated to be unable to attack again. It will take two or three months to rest for two or three months to slowly restore morale before they can spare any effort to plot another country.

Furthermore, the casualties were so great that even if Yoshinari Tomita captured the entire Shinano country, most of his credit would be offset.

"The only chance now is to take the lead in gaining the first victory in a country before the others, so that you can restore your reputation and position in the hearts of Dao Masters. Maybe you can make some promotion."

Yoshicheng Tomita couldn't help but made up his mind secretly.

This battle must be won no matter what, even if it loses more than half of it, Shinano must be won.

Now Tomita Yoshinari's offensive is quite rapid, he has penetrated into Shinano in less than ten days, and has launched a decisive battle with all the powerful coalition forces in Shinano.

And as long as this decisive battle can be won, under the power of victory, the entire Shinano country can be put down in one month.

And now other people, because there is no such desperate determination and ambition of Yoshisari Tomita, many people are still wandering outside the country with the coalition forces of other countries, and they have not made much of the development of the war. Breakthrough progress.

Compared with Tomita's current speed, it's not much worse.

What's more, as long as the entire Shinano country can be taken, even if the army suffers too much damage, it will take two or three months to recuperate.

But the other people didn't know if they could break a country for two or three months.

At that time, when my soldiers and horses are recuperating, they should send a batch of reinforcements to support them, and then recruit some cannon fodder from the Shinano country.

After such a search, five or sixty thousand or even more people came out at the time, and the world can be expected.

This is the first step, step by step advantage.

It’s just that the risk is too great, and if one step goes wrong, it’s an unforgettable fate.

Like the Shinano country now, if this decisive battle cannot be won~IndoMTL.com~ then Yoshisari Tomita himself will naturally not escape a defeated suicide ending.

Even the layout of the dojo has to be greatly frustrated, and the impact on the overall situation of the world is extremely serious.

This is also the risk that you have to take if you want to be a prosperous bird. The specific benefits depend on your personal choice.

The 5,000 elites were lightly pressed up. They were originally precarious under the pressure of the Allied Forces. They kept shrinking, and the number was sharply reduced to more than 2,000 people. The cannon fodder was a light-footed battle line, which was immediately stabilized, and there was a faint counter-offensive. .

It can be seen how important a standing army that is sharp enough is to a war, and how important it is to the foundation of a force.

Although other forces have attracted a lot of cannon fodder, they usually serve the people and can provide taxes to those wealthy people. They can temporarily pull them out as cannon fodder, and they can gather a group of powerful military forces in a short time.

At first glance, there are many benefits to this approach, but it is not without its drawbacks.

Let’s not say that the dispatch of these troops will be affected by busy farming time, just say that the quality of these troops is a hidden danger that cannot be avoided.

Their military discipline is loose, and there is no restriction between their actions. It is good for them to fight with the wind during the war, like a tiger going down a mountain, it is difficult to stop.

If you encounter a slight setback, your morale will drop sharply. If you lose a little bit, you will easily be partially defeated, which will then lead to the outcome of the entire battle, forming an irreversible general trend.

This is the inevitable hidden danger of using this peasant soldier. It was precisely because he understood this hidden danger that Zhong Yu abandoned it and instead trained his standing soldiers.

Because he deeply understands that if he wants to unify the world, he relies on these standing soldiers.

With the experience of unifying the world several times before, Zhong Yu knew what the real foundation was.
