In fact, the casualties in this era are mainly caused by the process of escape and pursuit.

The proportion of casualties directly fighting on the battlefield is not high.

The army is afraid of retreating but not advancing. It is easy to find a general who can command the troops to rush forward. The one who can command the retreat is a real good player.

After all, the army is fighting in formation, and people are all in front of each other. In this environment, personal will can be ignored.

No matter how timid a person is infected by this environment, he can still hold his weapons and poke randomly.

But when it comes to escaping, there is neither formation nor the people around you may have a new face.

At this time, everyone is taking care of themselves, and the military organization is basically on the verge of collapse, and it is much less difficult to run.

Therefore, once a large army is defeated, it will often lead to shocking losses.

Like Yang Xuangan, he used to have hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers, but in one battle, he was defeated by less than a thousand people.

In addition to falsely reporting the troops, most people were not really killed by the Sui army, but instead escaped in the chaos.

Whether you are a bandit or try to go home to farm, or you are a refugee, you don’t have to make a living by making a desperate life.

The first reason why Li Mi rested here is naturally because she really couldn't run anymore.

The second point is to prepare to gather the defeated troops.

The army was defeated again, and it was only a distance of more than ten miles.

Most people have not had time to think about running home, and even if they have this idea, they have no time to implement it.

In addition, at this time, people need to find a group to surrender. When they see the familiar banner, some people will take the initiative to move closer.

Then the generals rode around on horseback and looked for defeated soldiers to shout them to return to the team. They scared their subordinates with their prestige or reputation, and let them return to the system and continue to serve in the army.

Under normal circumstances, this method can bring about 60 to 70% of the troops.

As for the rest, we can only leave it to fate.

Whenever I go, I use a similar method to collect the remaining parts. How many people can I collect in the end depends on God's expression.

However, the most important thing is the closest contraction. The more defeated soldiers gathered here, the easier it is to attract others.

People's hearts follow the crowd.

When many people they are familiar with go back to join the army, they will subconsciously follow them.

Besides, I am so generous to them. Where can these people find such a generous emperor?

If you don’t follow yourself, who will you go with?

However, the meaning in Chen Zhiluo's words was clearly implying that it was difficult for those defeated soldiers to gather.

The most optimistic result is to be able to maintain these hundreds of people in front of you.

It is said that they were waiting for reinforcements in Jinyong City, but in fact, they entered the city and had food and wealth, so that these people could stabilize and not want to run away.

Besides, there are city walls around, so there is no place to go if you want to run away.

I really want to go to Jinyong City, otherwise I would not have sent someone to pass on the order.

But I wanted to bring eight thousand inner troops there, instead of these hundreds of defeated soldiers and generals.

When you go to Jinyong City with this virtue, where can you put your own face?

How should those military generals view orphans?

Isn't he shaking the morale of the army? What are he doing?

According to him, what is the difference between himself and Yang Xuangan?

Thinking of this, Li Mi's eyes opened angrily and yelled in a low voice: "It's nonsense! How can Gu leave General Pei and his son and others and leave first?"

"Master, look over there!"

Chen Zhiliu did not justify anything, but pointed his finger towards the battlefield.

Li Mi is facing Chen Zhiluo at this time and facing the battlefield before.

Deep inside him, he didn't want to look at that sad place anymore.

But Chen Zhilei suddenly made this gesture, and Li Mi was not sure. She subconsciously looked back and then saw the wolf smoke rising into the sky.

The fuel of these wolf smoke is obviously added with certain special drugs, and the black smoke columns soar into the sky, and are by no means formed naturally.

This kind of wolf smoke is often used as a secret code in the army. In order to ensure the transmission of messages, this kind of wolf smoke is burned to spread messages.

But what does this mean?

What does this wolf smoke have to do with the inner army?

Before Li Mi could attack, Chen Zhiluo said first: "Our army has not agreed on fireworks signals today." This was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap when it fell into Li Mi's ears.

His body shook and almost fell to the ground. Thanks to Chen Zhiliu's quick eyes and quick hands, he held him in a hurry and did not really fall down.

Yes! I am sure to win the book today, and I have not agreed on any fireworks signal.

Anyway, if you win the battle, everyone will rush forward in a hurry, and there is no need to make it so complicated.

In other words, this signal was released by Xuanjiaqi?

Do they have any other tricks?

Impossible! They didn't have any people to launch any tricks, this must be a fraud! Li Mi took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Now it is related to life and death. If you are confused, it will be hard for the gods to save them.

Chen Zhiluo wanted to say something, but Li Mi pushed it away. Then he found a stone and stood on tiptoe, and shouted suddenly: "All the soldiers obey the order!"

This loud shout was full of energy and sounded like a heavy thunder, which really made me feel a bit more emperor's mighty.

And with his shouting, the warriors who had been behind Li Mi also shouted: "As long as they follow the order!"

He even pulled out the straight knife from his waist half a foot, making a series of clanging sounds! In an instant, he really had a bit of the unique killing meaning in the army.

The soldiers who were originally staggering were frightened by the movement.

Everyone looked at Li Mi. Some people subconsciously stood up and cleaned their clothes and waited for orders, but about one-third of them did not move. They just looked at Li Mi and heard what he was going to say.

Li Mi took all this in his eyes and knew that this battle had a great blow to his prestige.

Those soldiers didn't say anything, most of them no longer trusted themselves as the leader in their hearts.

Even the rules and regulations are not a concern. In the final analysis, I use this method to express my dissatisfaction.

He suppressed his anger and thought that all this had not happened at all, Li Mi said in a deep voice: "Xu Le's child is full of tricks, so it is not suitable to stay here for a long time! Zhang Tongren, you immediately lead three hundred cavalry to guard Heyang and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

The rest of the world followed me to Jinyong City, and the team rectified the troops and gathered soldiers from all directions.

Chen Zhiluo, you choose twenty elite cavalry to notify the Pei family father and son, and then gather in Jinyong City after gathering the troops! The soldiers obeyed the orders of the orphans, threw down all their armor and set off immediately!"

All the soldiers and generals except Li Mi were covered in clothes.

During the escape, some people also threw away their armor in order to pursue speed, but most people still retained their clothes and weapons.

This is certainly a habit of warriors, but it is also because everyone is afraid of being poor.

After finally having armor, I couldn't bear to throw it away.

At most, I lost the old armor I had stored before and wore all the new ones on my body.

After Li Mi's military order, everyone was shocked and looked at each other and no one took action.

You should know that armor is half a life on the battlefield. If you lose armor at this time, if you encounter Xuanjia Knight, you will be left with a dead end.

Not to mention the Xuanjia Cavalry, even the soldiers and horses in Luoyang are enough to deal with themselves without armor.

The lord is trying to run faster and ignore anything?

Even Chen Zhiluo was a little confused now. He looked at Li Mi and said, "Lord thinks three times." Li Mi changed color and shouted angrily: "Chen Zhiluo obeys the order! I will order you to take off your armor!"

While he was speaking, he gently tapped the collapse spring with his right thumb, and most of the sword on his waist was unsheathed! Seeing that Li Mi was so angry, Chen Zhiluo did not dare to hesitate, and took off his helmet without saying a word.

Two personal soldiers came over from left to right and helped him remove the armor on his body.

At this moment, a military general who had always been half lying and half sitting in the unmoving nest said coldly: "Whoever wants to take off, the armor is the life of the grandfather.

Whoever dares to take my grandfather’s life? First ask me if my grandfather’s weapons agree to it!”

As he spoke, he had already stood up shakingly, looking at Li Mi as if he was demonstrative, and his hand was pressed on the hilt of the knife.

A familiar one recognized him at a glance. The general named Liang Sanbao was a famous thorn in the inner army.

Except for Xu Shiji, few people can control him.

But he did have the ability to fight in front of the battle, and he saved Li Mi's life twice in the chaos army and got several arrows for him.

In order to repay the kindness, Li Mi personally delivered the reward to him.

With this honor and his bad temper, naturally no one in the army is willing to provoke him.

Yu Jun ordered him to be very different, and he would not make any mistakes in major matters, but don’t expect him to abide by the daily rules.

I didn't expect that such a person would take the lead in resisting orders.

But everyone can understand that Liang Sanbao regarded armor more than life. In order to steal the armor on his body, he killed three generals of the Xiaoguo Army alive.
