Chapter 1020 Battle Damage on the Western Front
On May 25th, the fifth year of Tianxuan, after Qu Mao returned to the opposite city south of the Qingyi Duke’s King’s City, he stopped the military meeting held by the heroes of various armies called by Zhao Pan, and asked everyone to come to the military meeting again the next day to hold a comprehensive military meeting. Meeting.
Resting in the opposite city for one night, Qu Mao arranged the construction shadow of a three-tiered courtyard overnight, and asked the army soldiers to be on duty overnight to complete the construction.
At 10 am on May 26th in the fifth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao received heroes from various armies in the newly built third-tier courtyard.
Without waiting for the heroes of the various armies to discuss the plan to attack the Qingyi Duke's King City, Qu Mao said directly: "Since all the armies and routes have joined forces outside the King City, they are encircling the Qingyi Duke King City.
So, before discussing the official attack on the Green Wing Duke's King City, please talk about the specific losses of our respective troops since the battle in the Green Wing Duke?
In order to avoid too many people, the commander-in-chief of each army will report statistics. "
The commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of each army whispered and discussed in a low voice.
Then Sylvia Ocean said: "My lord, during the more than a month of fighting in the Principality of Green Wings, the navy has lost a total of 17 naval warships of various types, and more than 12,000 naval soldiers have been killed, of which more than 9,000 were in siege operations. killed.
Fortunately, not all the marines and naval magicians in training were killed. There are still 1,765 marines in training and 662 naval magicians in training.
The total number of injured naval soldiers is about 50,000, and the loss of the navy is not too large. "
Qu Mao sighed, but didn't say anything.
Zhang Da said: "My lord, the garrison has lost more than 600,000 soldiers in the battle for more than a month, most of them were lost in the riots that have already occupied the territory, and most of the garrison soldiers were caught off guard in the rebellion and riots." was killed.
The number of wounded garrison soldiers exceeded 1 million. "
After listening to the reports from the navy and the garrison, Qu Mao's complexion was already very ugly.
Although the number of naval casualties was small, except for attacking the three port cities of Qinggang, Yigang, and Feigang at the beginning, the navy's battles in the Qingyi Principality were basically not intense, and they did not undertake the task of actively attacking the city. Although the navy and The garrison can also be regarded as two marching routes.
Zhao Pan glanced at Qu Mao's face, and still reported the situation of the army, saying: "My lord, the number of soldiers killed in the army has exceeded 600,000, and the number of soldiers injured has reached 700,000..."
Qu Mao slapped the table hard, and said angrily: "The rank of soldiers in the army is generally higher than that of the guard army, and more than 600,000 people died in the same battle. Can they be compared?
You told me that you have already occupied two-thirds of the territory of the Green Wing Principality, but in my opinion, this is watering two-thirds of the territory of the Green Wing Principality with the blood of our fighters from the Yihou Territory.
In just over a month, even if I have a million elite soldiers and take over the entire Eastern Continent, how many soldiers will we have to sacrifice in the Yihou Territory? "
All the heroes were frightened by Qu Mao's sudden anger, and no one dared to speak out.
Sophie Trani waited for a long time, but did not hear what Qu Mao said, so she said: "My lord, the Magic Army also paid the price of the death of 21 official magicians and more than 700 magic apprentices, and another 119 official magicians The magician and more than 1,200 magic apprentices were injured."
Qu Mao was silent for a long time, sighed a long time, and said: "Commanders-in-chief and deputy commanders-in-chief, it is not easy to obtain soldiers from the Yihou territory. The excellent elite fighters will follow you to the battlefield. It is for the development of Yihou territory to make contributions, not for sacrificing one's life in vain.
The news that more than 1.2 million soldiers were killed, more than 1.75 million soldiers were injured, and close to 3 million soldiers were killed or injured made me very sad.
I remember that in the specific battle plan of the Green Wing Principality before the war, we only dispatched a total of about 4 million soldiers. After fighting for more than a month, I don’t blame you for failing to take down the entire Green Wing Principality, but the casualties of the soldiers are close to 80%. How can I be embarrassed?
I thought that after the construction of 13 towns on the border between the Mughal Empire and the Marquis of Moner and the reinforcement of 1.5 million troops, the front line could be stabilized. At least 1.3 million troops could be mobilized from the northern battlefield to support the western battlefield, but I did not expect the western front With such a huge loss on the battlefield, all the 1.3 million troops have come here, which is just enough to make up for the number of our fallen soldiers..."
Chafidel said: "My lord, we can't simply calculate it like this. We defeated and wiped out more than 2 million troops of the Principality of the Green Wings on the battlefield of the Principality of the Green Wings. And that doesn't include our killing of the rebels and mobs in the Blue Wing Principality.
In fact, during more than a month of combat, we have wiped out at least 3 million enemy troops. As for the number of wounded enemy soldiers, it should be more.
My lord, the total casualties of our army are definitely within 3 million, so my subordinates think that my lord should not be kind to women. Since we want to fight for the hegemony of the mainland, we should be prepared to sacrifice our soldiers. "
Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "Okay, even if you are right, Chafidel, but more than 1.2 million soldiers died in battle within a month, and an average of 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers died in battle every day...
You are all serious military heroes, I hope you cherish the lives of soldiers more than I do.
Next, you tell me, how many soldiers will we have to lose or lose if we conquer the Qingyi Duke's royal city and the entire Qingyi Dukedom?
As far as I know, so far, the total number of soldiers killed on the northern front does not exceed 10,000, and the number of wounded soldiers, including those wounded during our march, totals no more than 20,000. "
Sir Mrak said: "My lord, the battlefield form of the Blue Wing Principality is completely incomparable with the battlefield form of the Marquis of Moner.
On the battlefield of the Marquis of Moner, the military power of the Marquis of Moner itself has been wiped out in previous battles, and even if there are troops, they are temporarily formed.
The troops assembled by the Mughal Empire after declaring war were only 500,000 in total, while our army initially invested 800,000 troops on the battlefield of the Marquis of Moner, including reinforcements, a total of more than 2 million soldiers.
With 2 million soldiers facing 500,000 soldiers, any battlefield is a superior force. Therefore, it is reasonable that there were no deaths in battle and no excessive casualties. "
Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "It doesn't make any sense to talk about it now, please tell me about the specific plan to capture the King City of Duke Qingyi."
