Hearing Mr. Kobayashi's urging and looking at him, his originally peaceful expression became anxious again. Tomita Yoshinari finally stopped being silent and took a long breath.
"Convey the order, the Second Army on the right wing supports the central battlefield."
Tomita Kazuyoshi's voice came out.
Then Mr. Xiao Lin looked at the messenger next to him who seemed to be in a daze and hadn't reacted yet, so he couldn't help but glare at him.
The messenger woke up quickly after being stared at. He couldn't help but responded, then quickly turned around and left to convey his order.
This second legion on the right wing is composed of another 5,000 first-level soldiers. The entire dojo army has 20,000 soldiers of this strength.
There were some losses when crossing the river before, and the troops just sent to support suffered some losses. After careful calculation, more than 5,000 first-order soldiers had been killed unknowingly.
However, although they were heavy, they caused several times more damage to the opposing coalition forces, so they could be considered to have made the best use of their resources.
With the support of these regular troops, I think the battlefield in the central part should be able to regain stability again, or even gain the upper hand again.
The enemy forces in the central battlefield, after several consecutive battles just now, were attacked by the elite dojo army. Even if there were more people and second-level warriors joined them, the losses would still be great.
From the beginning of the war to the present, these coalition forces have dispatched about 30,000 troops in the central battlefield.
After constant fighting and damage, these armies now only have a strength of just over 10,000. The losses are not heavy.
Moreover, these people have been fighting for so long, their physical strength is severely exhausted, the weapons in their hands are also much blunted, and many of them have some injuries. At this moment, 5,000 elite new troops are suddenly added to their side. As long as they increase their strength, this The remaining more than 10,000 remnants of the army will definitely not be able to hold up, and I am afraid they will collapse soon.
"As long as the coalition forces on the opposite side don't send reinforcements again."
Mr. Xiao Lin couldn't help but secretly thought, but then he laughed at himself.
How could it be possible without sending coalition troops? This is a life-and-death battle, and the outcome cannot be careless.
Xiao Linjun was in a trance when a voice came from his ear, waking him up.
"Xiao Lin, after fighting for so long, have you discovered anything?"
Tomita Yoshinari suddenly asked.
"What's the matter? My lord, please forgive me. I will be ignorant and it is difficult to guess what my lord means."
Xiaolin-kun racked his brains and thought about it, but finally found out that he didn't understand what Tomita Yoshinari was talking about.
After all, in this battlefield, the lives of tens of thousands of people were decided here. Too many things happened, and how could he know which one Tomita Yoshinari was talking about.
"After such a long battle, both the enemy and us are constantly adding reinforcements to support the central battlefield.
But have you noticed that after such a long time, the enemy has lost 20,000 troops, and ours is also close to 20,000. The numbers of both sides have begun to become equal.
We even have an advantage here, and that is among the remaining 30,000 people on both sides. We are all elites who have been recuperating for a long time, but on the opposite side there are more than 10,000 troops who are exhausted from long battles and most of them are injured. The situation is much worse than here.
What's more, what's left of us are some elite troops, far beyond the rabble on the opposite side. "
Seeing that Mr. Xiaolin still didn't know what to say after thinking about it for so long, Tomita Yoshinari spoke.
"Yes, our side does have the upper hand, and in terms of pure strength, the strength of all the elites on our side has reached 2 to 3 times that of the opponent. With such a huge disparity in strength, the outcome depends on This moment has been established.”
Thinking of this, Mr. Xiao Lin couldn't help but completely let go of his worries, and his expression became calm.
He finally understood why his general had been unwilling to send troops to support the central battlefield.
I just want the surrounded remnants of the central battlefield to contribute their product value, consume the physical strength and numbers of the enemy on the opposite side, and gain a greater advantage for the army.
Now that all the layout has been completed, even if all the soldiers in the central battlefield are annihilated, it will have a certain impact on the morale of our side, but it is no longer fatal to the outcome of the entire battle.
Because with the strength on my side, I can now ignore any negative factors and press forward openly. Although the loss may be a little more, the victory is within reach.
However, the coalition forces on the opposite side really didn't know this, because after such a long battle, they discovered that although the dojo army on the opposite side was much more elite, the soldiers all had first-level cultivation. But after all, there are too few people who can break through to the second level and have extraordinary power, and most of them are military generals.
This gave them the illusion that the dojo army had too few second-level powers this time, and most of them were ordinary first-level ones.
Although the strength is still not to be underestimated, the threat level in their hearts is indeed great, and it has dropped by several levels.
The local nobles could not help but breathe a sigh of relief to the commanders of these coalition forces. The danger in the future also slowly subsided unconsciously.
The main reason why it can have such an impact on them is because the dojo has risen too fast, and there is no way they have any deep foundation in their hearts.
The reason why I was scared before was just because the dojo unified the three kingdoms in an instant and completely became a great name with a stone height of more than a million stones. This kind of momentum was too terrifying, and my mind was taken away for a moment, and I couldn't help but feel scared.
Moreover, the three Northeastern countries have always been desolate and backward, which is famous throughout Japan. Although Echigo and Mutsu are much better countries, as the foundation for the rise of dojos, Dewa Country is truly a barbarian country, with a culture far inferior to Japan's and is despised by other countries.
So after a trial just now, although there were a lot of losses, these local powerful people in Shinano Country breathed a sigh of relief, and the threat to the dojo was suddenly reduced by several levels.
In their view, although this war is at a disadvantage and may even be lost, it is no longer an unstoppable force for the entire Shinano Kingdom.
As long as the dojo army on the opposite side has the current strength, then even if they can defeat the coalition forces on the battlefield today, their own strength loss will definitely reach nearly 2/3. As for the remaining more than 10,000 remnant soldiers, how could they find the remaining strength to conquer the entire Shinano Kingdom.
You must know that Shinano Country is a big country with a large population of about 400,000.
Even if 50,000 soldiers and horses are lost now, as long as they mobilize again in the rear, 50,000 people can be gathered again in an instant.
Although the strength of this 50,000-strong army is not very high, it can still kill the remaining 10,000 dojo soldiers with the help of human sea tactics.
Not to mention that the country of Shinano is mountainous, and some of them have dangerous passes. As long as they contain a few important cities and station some troops inside, these remnant soldiers can sigh in admiration at the sight of the city.
Therefore, all the powerful men in the entire Shinano Kingdom are now feeling relaxed.
However, although their hearts were relaxed, their mood did not get better, but instead they became distressed.
Even if this battle can repel the invasion of the dojo and protect the entire Shinano Kingdom, it will lose so much strength and Shinano Kingdom will become a small country.
I'm afraid I won't be able to recover in less than ten years.
