"Oh, stop the attack first and let the army retreat!" Seeing that the attacking army rushed forward and fell down, the group had no potential, and he had no choice but to order the army to retreat.

According to the prediction of Knight Byron, even if the enemy is prepared, he cannot afford to build a fortress in one day. He has an army of 200,000, so it should be easy to capture the vanguard of the Xia army.

But who knew that the Xia army's defense was one after another, weakening the army's attack layer by layer, and finally he could only return helplessly.

Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the attack just now only broke through the first line of defense of the Xia army, and returned in disgrace after encountering the Xia army.

It seems that the Xia army has several defense lines set up, and Byron has no idea how to destroy the Xia army in front of him in one day.

Not to mention destroying the Xia army in front of him, Byron didn't even know whether he could beat the Xia army in front of him, which was less than 20,000 yuan.

But just as Byron comforted himself that the Xia army in front of him had been completely surrounded by him, he learned that there was a worse situation.

A knight officer in charge of casualties came to report to Byron: "Report to the Chief Knight, our army suffered about 30,000 deaths in the attack just now."

"What?! More than 30,000 people were killed?" Knight Byron asked in disbelief when he heard the news: "Are you right? Is it a casualty or a casualty?"

"Return to the Knight, yes, it's certain that the number of people killed in battle, and the wounded soldiers did not come back at all." The Knight officer replied, pointing to the direction of the battlefield and continued to reply: "Please look at it, Knight, there are still many wounded soldiers in our army lying and moaning, and they can't come back at all."

Byron looked along and could see some figures rolling on the hillside. Although he could not hear the groaning of the wounded soldiers from a distance, Byron could completely imagine what kind of situation these wounded soldiers were facing.

Byron was stunned for a moment, turned around immediately and said, "I don't care about these things, order the soldiers to organize their teams, and launch another attack for me immediately."

Bernie Kley, who was standing by, frowned when he heard Byron's order and said nothing more. He knew that Byron was already difficult to ride a horse, and he was not a rude person. If he wanted to destroy the Xia army in front of him, he could only launch a strong attack regardless of casualties.

For those who are in high positions like Byron, Bernie and others, soldiers are just a tool to achieve their goals. They will not care about the specific deaths and injuries, and their lives will disappear.

What made Bernie a little concerned was that in the past two hours of battle, the Xia army relied on some fortifications to cause heavy casualties in the attacking army, and there was no loss in itself. At least Bernie did not see many bodies of the Xia army. Looking around, the battlefield was full of soldiers lying on this side.

Just as I fought like this, the army of 200,000, no, now, should only be about 150,000, would not be able to fight the Xia army in front of me, which was less than 20,000.

Just this is just the vanguard of the Xia army, and they need to use more than 200,000 people to deal with it. You must know that the Xia army has hundreds of thousands of people. Doesn’t this mean that they need at least a few million troops to deal with it?

When Bernie thought of this, she couldn't help but fight a cold war. It was really terrifying to think about it carefully! Not to mention where the millions of people came from, even if they had them, they could only fight against the Xia army and might not be able to win.

"War is not so simple to calculate. Yes! It's definitely not possible to calculate it like this! There are many other factors that I didn't expect!" Bernie said this to himself repeatedly in his heart, as if he was self-comfortable and self-hypnosis. Otherwise, Bernie would be afraid of being scared to death by his own inference.

In fact, it is normal for Bernie to have this idea. Anyone who sees his hundreds of thousands of troops still cannot defeat one-tenth of his enemy will doubt his life.

"His Excellency Knight Byron Emory, prepare the soldiers next time the attack, at least bring some tools that can destroy the fence and resist horses." Bernie calmed down and suggested to Byron: "If possible, let the archers be mixed among ordinary soldiers, hoping to cause some casualties to the Xia army."

Now Bernie disregards others to provide advice to Byron, not only for the immediate victory, but also to verify his ideas, but also to prepare for the upcoming Xia army. If the battle in front of him is their victory, then Bernie will have some clues for the Xia army behind. If, if it is defeated, Bernie really has no idea what to do in the future.

"Oh? This method is good!" Byron heard Bernie's suggestion, thought for a while, nodded in agreement with Bernie's method.

After the attacking army retreated for about half an hour, Byron issued a new order to attack the entire army. However, this time he was mentally prepared to return without success, and he was ready to lose heavy losses to the Xia army in front of him if he failed this time.

Anyway, Byron is ready for a wheel battle. Today, he is preparing to destroy the Xia army in front of him no matter how many rounds of attacks he launches.

However, what Byron did not expect was that even if he wanted to launch rounds of attacks, he would have to have so many soldiers. About 50,000 casualties were injured and 200,000 could not withstand several rounds of consumption.

Generally speaking, an army is qualified if it fails to collapse when one-tenth of casualties, and one-fifth of the casualties without collapse can be considered the elite among the elites, and one-third of the casualties will completely lose their combat effectiveness.

But this is the case where logistics, auxiliary soldiers and other labor forces are included. If these are excluded, they are only considered war soldiers. The army with 10,000 people actually has not many people, only about two or three thousand.

Byron also knew this, so at the beginning, in order to make 200,000 people fully use it, he sent 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers to the rear of the army as a supervising team, and the front row was used as a slave army, which allowed the entire army to attack the Xia army's positions. From this point of view, Byron was already considered an excellent general.

But he didn't know that the less than 20,000 Xia troops in front of him were all so-called war soldiers, and there were not many auxiliary personnel at all. All the militias who acted as auxiliary retreated, otherwise he wouldn't have been as confident as before.

The second round of attack did not start as smoothly as Byron thought. After Byron ordered the attack for a long time, the army was charging forward, which made him very dissatisfied.

"What's going on? Why haven't you launched an attack?" Captain Byron roared angrily at the people around him, hoping that someone would come and explain it to him.

After a while, a sweaty officer came to report: "King Master Qi, the soldiers below were unwilling to launch an attack, saying that the attack was completely a death."

"There is still this?" Bernie had never been in the army, not knowing this. At this time, he heard that the soldiers in the army were unwilling to launch an attack, which made him look at Byron with confusion.

When Captain Byron saw Bernie's gaze, he felt even more embarrassed and shouted, "Don't want to attack? Do you dare not obey the order? Where are the supervisors? Are they all dead? Order the supervisors. Whoever dares not attack will cut off the Knights! Are you afraid of death? Do you want to die if you don't attack? You'll die now!"

It was the first time Byron Emory commanded so many troops. Even the first attack was arranged based on previous experience in leading troops. He had no idea of ​​the consequences of his order being conveyed.
