After all, Jiuzhen and Rinan are also two counties in Jiaozhou. Otherwise, those prefects probably wouldn't even give them 10,000 people. But obviously, that is impossible, after all, it is not even a county. But the two places with 10,000 people are quite divided. How much is more, and what kind of bicycles do you need, right? This is definitely true, that¡¯s quite a lot, yes, they all think so. So this is also the case now. Those two counties are divided into 10,000 troops, which is a lot. One county can also be divided into an average of 5,000 troops, which is a lot. Indeed, after all, there is still no comparison between those two counties and the other five places. That's right. So if there are 10,000 troops, that's okay. Everyone sees it that way and thinks that way. So ten thousand horses and horses are actually a lot, that's it. After all, Ma Chao and the Liangzhou Army may not go to those two counties, so to say that there are 10,000 people and 5,000 in one county is really enough, but that is not the case. For the seven prefects of Jiaozhou, they indeed think so. Even the prefects of the two counties actually think so. It is normal. After all, it's not a particularly important place, indeed. It doesn't mean that no matter how many troops are invested, it won't be of much use, that is. If it is like the South China Sea, then it should actually have more people. But even if Lingcao and his son were able to do so, they only left a quarter of the reinforcements in Nanhai County, the most important county in Jiaozhou, which was not the most. Indeed, as mentioned before, even if Ling Cao and his son left 30,000 reinforcements, the governors of the other six counties would not say much. And also, even if they really have any opinions, it's useless for them to say it, because they have all stayed, but that's not it. Of course, they still didn't have any objections, and they all felt that it was indeed normal. And they did not leave behind 30,000 people, but only 25,000 people. This also gave them 5,000 more mobile troops in the other six counties, that is. In fact, even if there are only 70,000 people left in their six counties, they can still divide them. After all, the two places of Jiuzhen and Nichinan together are enough for 10,000 people, so their four counties are left with 10,000 people. The 60,000 people are actually not very few. After all, there are only 5,000 more people now. There are 65,000 people in the four counties. The 10,000 people are from Jiuzhen County and Ninan County, yes. Of course, no matter whether there are 25,000 or 30,000 troops left on the other side of the South China Sea, the last four counties will leave some 10,000 people for the two counties of Jiuzhen and Nichinan. And they only have 5,000 more troops or 5,000 fewer troops. In fact, if you really want to calculate this, it is not a big deal. After all, 5,000 troops are divided into four counties. On average, there are only 1,250 people in one county, which they don't think is too much. That is, there are only 1,250 people. In just one day's fighting, we can lose more than that. It's not impossible, but it's just like that. So it¡¯s really not much. If we really want to lose a lot, it would cost several thousand. That¡¯s it. That¡¯s definitely not the most talked about. If it¡¯s more, then tens of thousands doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s impossible. Really, it¡¯s still possible. But when it comes to attacking a city, there is almost no situation like that. If you attack a city and one side suffers tens of thousands of losses, that's not the case. But it is indeed possible for the two armies to confront each other, really. When there are many people on both sides, when the battle is fierce, it is really like that. For example, if there are 200,000 people on each side of them, then after a fierce battle, the casualties of each side must have exceeded 10,000. Of course, this doesn't mean that they behave like that every time. It depends on the situation and is normal. As for the current Liangzhou Army and Jiangdong Army, they do not, at least in Jiaozhou, have a one-day battle with more than 10,000 casualties on one side. This is still not the case. Of course, at most, the loss will not be small, that's for sure. Therefore, it seems that there are only more than 1,200 people. It really can't be said to be many, that is. So that's really not a lot. At least after a battle, the casualties will basically exceed that number. Of course, what this is talking about is a big war, not a small war, that is not it. In the case of a small war, the losses would not be much in one day, maybe only more than a thousand people. So this is also true. You have to look at how many troops both sides have invested and what the battle situation is. That is definitely true. If it is a small battle with a small number of people, each side has 20,000 people, then it will only lose more than 1,000 people at one time, which is actually a lot. Of course, if there are more than 20,000 people on both sides, and it is indeed very tragic, then the casualties in one battle may be thousands. That is not impossible, but it is very possible, or even just like that. . So, it depends on the specific situation, this is definitely the case. If both armies really had 200,000 troops on each side, let alone a fierce battle and a decisive battle, just a casual charge with thousands of losses would be too much, really. If the number of people is small, no matter how tragic it is, it is impossible to say that it will exceed the total number of people in an army.?Quantity. Although it is the same when there are many people, but when there are more people, the casualties will be greater. This is definitely true, that is. So it depends on the specific situation, which needs to be analyzed in detail. Ma Dai was pushed back once, but to him, it was nothing. After all, this had happened before. Here in Zhongsu City, he didn't go up, but he was forced to retreat. Yesterday, he tested it. . However, it was the first time today that we went up to the top of the city, and we were repulsed, which was normal. For him, if he comes down, then he can go up again. It will be faster, faster than last time, then it will be better, indeed. But the idea is very good, but in fact, Ma Dai was not faster than the last time when he went up for the second time. In fact, they were almost the same, if you really count them. But when he arrived at the city head, he was forced back by Ling Tong and his soldiers faster than the first time. This was true. Ma Dai felt that the other party was already familiar with the road, but that was not the case, so this That¡¯s normal too. Let alone Ling Tong, if I were him, I would behave like that, it would be normal. And this second time, Ling Tong was very satisfied with the performance of himself and his soldiers. For him, being able to defeat Ma Dai faster than last time at the city head was actually progress, and that was absolutely true. He didn't say he expected too much, but he could make such progress every time. But as long as he performed normally and didn't perform abnormally, he felt it was actually pretty good. That was, so So at this time, he felt it was okay. , and the performance of our own soldiers is also good. There are old soldiers and those in Jiaozhou. They cannot be said to be new recruits, but when compared with those who have gone through so many battles, they are indeed novices, but they are not. But even so, Ling Tong never said he looked down on his men who had not participated in many wars. In fact, it is true that our troops in Jiaozhou have never participated in the war. They cannot be compared with the troops in Yangzhou. His idea was good. After all, it was the veterans who led the families who had not participated in the war much. It was not like today, and that was right. And indeed, the result is also good, and the process is also good. Of course, this is true here in Zhongsu City, Nanhai County, but what about other places? Ling Tong couldn't guarantee that it would be the same in other places. There was no absolute guarantee. He could only say that he would do his best. It is to let your own soldiers do their best, and it is even more important to let the generals of a city do their best. He felt that he had done his best, and he would know just by looking at it. But as for our own soldiers now, I feel that they still have room to perform, that is. But if I want them to perform exceptionally, I don't even think about it that much, really. Speaking of which, as long as they perform normally and don't behave abnormally, that's true. That's what he thinks, but that's not it. So now He is satisfied with the current situation. Generally speaking, that's it. In Ling Tong's opinion, it was pretty good. He dared to say that there were several in Jiaozhou, at least that many, and they were not as good as him, really. I am not bragging. In the entire Jiaozhou, I am neither first nor second. This is my level. What affects the final battle is not only what the general is like, but also what the soldiers on one's side are like. That's absolutely true. If our soldiers are all strong in combat and there are many people and horses, then even if we still cannot defend it, we can at least cause more casualties to the Liangzhou Army. This is definitely the case. But if there are many people, but the combat power is not enough, then it actually doesn't have much effect. It is better to say that there are few people, but the combat power is strong, that is indeed good. For our own side, the 100,000 troops from Yangzhou actually belong to the latter group and have sufficient fighting strength. But the hundreds of thousands of troops on our side in Jiaozhou exceeded 100,000, but the combat power of the troops and horses was still not enough. Who made them not try their best to fight several times? There is nothing we can do about it. There have been many wars and everyone has participated, so that is naturally good. But obviously, when the men and horses in Jiaozhou are compared with the men and horses in Yangzhou, there is still a gap. So at this time, I asked them to have 5,000 reinforcements and 5,000 local Jiaozhou defenders. Looking at it now, it is indeed not bad. Yes, he is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to be content. Even if Ling Tong is crazy, he is still young. The key is that he is pretty good, so that's normal. After all, he is still young, and it is normal to be young and frivolous. But it¡¯s not that people don¡¯t have self-awareness, they still do. For example, he knew very well in his heart that he was not as good as Ma Dai. That was true. And our own side is not as good as the Liangzhou Army, and this is correct. So to say that I tried my best to guard it, that's it, that's correct. When Ma Dai went up and down again for the third time, Ma Chaozhou asked the soldiers to withdraw their troops. This has been a habit for many years, that is. Not to mention him, just Cao Cao and Sun Ce, their words are actually the same, that is. On the second day, Ling Tong saw the Liangzhou army retreating. He felt that his efforts were not in vain. Of course, his own soldiers were indispensable. That's right. Speaking of which, If there really weren't them, how could we defend the city on our own? It can't be stopped at all, that's good. So it¡¯s time to rely on them. Today¡¯s casualties are more than yesterday¡¯s even without looking at them. Anyway, you¡¯ll know better after just one look. But for Ling Tong, in future wars, the number of casualties every day will probably be more than today. He knows this after thinking about it, and that is normal. This is definitely the case. Each day is worse than the other. It is one's own casualties, not one's own performance. After all, this is nothing, it's only two days. As far as their Liangzhou Army is concerned, they can only cause more casualties to their own side, but they know that well. And there is no way for our side to say that there are fewer casualties, only more But even so, we still try our best, that's it, try our best to make our own casualties less and let the other side have more casualties, this is definitely the case. For Ling Tong, that was it, and he was definitely going to do it, just like yesterday and today. So even though he felt relieved when he saw Ma Dai retreating, to be honest, Ling Tong knew that this was just a battle on the second day, just a little witch, and it was nothing at all. I can lead my soldiers to force Ma Dai back. If I can do this today, does it mean this will always be the case? In that case, if it could be done every day and every time, it would be great. Not to mention that we can defend the city, but it is definitely a good thing. But obviously, it's not that easy. As far as one's own side is concerned, it is not impossible to have fewer casualties and more casualties for the other side. But looking at it now, it is still not easy and very difficult for oneself to do it. Ma Dai led his troops to retreat and followed his lord back to the camp. Generally speaking, Ma Chao was not so satisfied with today's war. Except for the first time, in the other two times, although Ma Dai also led his troops to the top of the city, he was beaten down faster each time. This is not only Ling Tong was good at martial arts, and his cooperation with the soldiers at the head of the city was definitely good, indeed. Ma Chao never thought that Ling Tong was a city defender. He had not led troops to attack or anything. His land and water battles were definitely ahead of Jiangdong's army. I didn't dare to say it before, but the top six are always "right," and Ma Chao thinks it's okay. As of now, he has that level, and when he gets older, although he may not be able to become a general, he can surpass Ma Dai, and that is not impossible. Ma Chao still understands. Really speaking, in history, Ling Tong was still a little ahead of Ma Dai, and he knew this. Ma Dai mainly leads cavalry. After all, he is a younger brother of Ma Chao and a heavy general in Xiliang. His ability in leading cavalry is unsaid. From this point of view, Ling Tong must be in trouble. He can't compare to him. That's right.
