The Prodigal Son of the Empire

These battle reports are bad news, and may even be serious.

Because good news will definitely be announced.

"Is the war going so badly?"

Wang Kang picked up a copy and read it.

This battle report was from July last year, and it described an encounter in which our army encountered the enemy's regular army.

And the number of our army is 3000 more than that of the enemy.

In a frontal battle, all our troops were raped and wiped out by the enemy, and no one survived!

Immediately afterwards, Wang Kang picked up the second copy and looked at it.

This is a siege battle, which describes in detail the course of the battle, including what equipment was used, how many troops were used, and so on.

This was still in the period of fighting in the eastern province.

The city that was originally attacked did not have many defenders, and there were not many armaments and supplies. According to normal conditions, it could be captured.

And this is in the east of the province, which was once one of the four major provinces of Zhao State, that is to say, all the people living here are the city residents of Zhao State.

The attack went well.

The townspeople in the city rioted and opened the gates to let them in.

This is a very normal thing.

But who would have thought that this was actually a conspiracy by the Chu army, and that the original citizens of Zhao State even launched an attack on them, which made the siege battle fail...

Wang Kang frowned.

Obviously this is inviting you into the urn, besieging and attacking it.

Wang Kang also used this strategy.

But what I didn't expect was that the citizens of the Zhao country would cooperate with the Chu army to fight?

The State of Chu has indeed occupied Donglin Province for a long time, but it doesn't seem to care too much about it. The State of Chu itself has a large area, and it really looks down on your province.

After the occupation, there was no large-scale garrison, but the name was changed to Donglin County, it was as simple as that.

It seems that it is more like promoting national prestige.

And Zhao Guo didn't dare to fight or take it back, so it's now...

Wang Kang flipped through the pages, but Fang Yin and Gongsun Sheng didn't interrupt, just sat quietly.

After more than an hour, Wang Kang paused.

Of course, I haven't finished watching it yet, only halfway through it.

He wanted to take a break, and another reason was that he couldn't stand it anymore...

He found that the battle situation was even more embarrassing and corrupt than he expected!

It has been almost two years since the start of the war, and it was only when they finally took back the Eastern Province and reached the border of Chu State.

You must know that Chu State still doesn't pay much attention to Donglin Province, and the real main force has not been dispatched yet!

The speed of advancement is too slow, and the results are too small.

If things go on like this, the prospects are worrying!

No wonder Jiang Chengli was worried and had already prepared for the worst.

What annoyed him even more.

When they reached the border of Chu State, they were preparing for an opening battle, but they were actually taken advantage of by Yan State...

They actually used their own side as a bait, sacrificed Zhao Guo's army, and expanded their victory, causing heavy losses to their own side!

No cooperation, intrigue, fighting each other, using each other, selfishness!

This kind of battle is really aggrieved.

"You should be able to understand."

Fang Yin said: "Actually, the loss of our troops has almost reached [-] since the start of the war. This is not a small number."

"It is true that casualties on the battlefield are inevitable, but such a large casualty has not achieved a certain result."

Gongsun Sheng also echoed, "There are two types of troops in Chu State. One is scattered soldiers. The so-called scattered soldiers are soldiers recruited temporarily."

"These people are at the bottom of the country, working in agriculture or labor. Chu will spend money on these people and hire them to go to the battlefield!"

"Chu is the country with the largest population on the mainland, and people are the most indispensable. The combat effectiveness of scattered troops is low, but the number is huge!"

"The other is the regular army!"

Gongsun Sheng said solemnly: "Chu's regular army can be said bluntly, they are all elite!"

"The state of Chu is based on martial arts, and the style of martial arts prevails. The regular army is very powerful, and its quality is generally higher than that of our army..."

Listen to what the two have to say.

Wang Kang also knew in his heart that this information could actually be analyzed from the battle report.

"Is it possible that the coach's decision-making went wrong?"

Wang Kang said: "Of course I haven't finished watching the battle, you know a lot, you can talk about it, don't have any burden."

Fang Yin and Gongsun Sheng looked at each other, and only Wang Kang dared to say such words so casually.

Because the coach of the war against Chu is not an ordinary person, but the former fifth prince, who dares to make random comments?

"In all honesty, from my personal point of view, there is no problem with the fifth prince's decision."

Gongsun Sheng said in a deep voice: "The fifth prince has been stationed at the border of Zhao and Chu, and he knows the most about the Chu army. It is normal to advance step by step and follow the rules in the early stage of the war."

"I think the biggest problem is the lack of cooperation from the Yan Kingdom, and it's even very tricky."

"Correct."

Gongsun Sheng echoed: "Problems like this don't just happen on our side, they also happen to other armies."

"Six Nations Alliance, our military strength and strength surpass that of Chu State. Normally speaking, it is no problem to attack Chu State and win the victory, but the current situation is that strength is useless in one place."
