Chapter 170 Stars shine brightly, the three major armies set sail again!(2/3)
Li Mu was killed soon after.
Li Mu was the most outstanding general of the Six Eastern Kingdoms at the end of the Warring States Period. In a series of battles, he repeatedly severely damaged the enemy without losing, showing his superb military command art.
Especially the battle of Zhao defeating the Xiongnu and the battle of Fei. The former is a typical example of a large infantry corps annihilating a large cavalry corps in the history of Chinese wars, while the latter is an example of encirclement and annihilation warfare.
His innocent murder caused the State of Zhao to destroy the Great Wall, which made future generations sigh with regret.

Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty returned to Luoyang with heavy troops. Yuan Hao's 100,000-strong army was defeated miserably, and Chen Qingzhi's Liang army was also defeated. In the end, Chen Qingzhi sneaked back to the south of the Yangtze River alone.

After Tang Jing met with the generals one by one, Du Ruhui and Qin Shuang also happened to arrive.
Naturally, we exchanged pleasantries again.
Among them, the most famous generals like Bai Qi and Li Mu received the warmest welcome, whether they were generals of the Qin Dynasty such as Wang Bi, Meng Tian, Zhang Han, or Zhou Yafu, Di Qing, etc.
Many generals regard Bai Qi as their idol.
Totally top notch!
After exchanging pleasantries, Tang Jing asked Xu Chu to lead a group of new generals to familiarize themselves with the territory, leaving Bai Qi alone to discuss matters.
The meeting begins.
As usual, Qin Shuang reported the battle situation.
"The three armies of City Guards, Fengxiang, and Flying Bears have killed more than 30,000 enemies in this round of combat, and conquered Ord County, Choctaw County, Palm County, Kana County, and Stone County."
"Exceeded the previously set combat goals."
"During the war, the three armies suffered cumulative casualties of more than 50,000 people. Among them, the Flying Bear Legion, which was ambushed by the coalition forces, suffered the most heavy casualties, resulting in a combat loss of more than 30,000 people."
This is the first time.
The casualties of Chang'an's army were higher than those of the enemy.
It can be seen that the ambush launched by Douglas still played a certain role.
It's just that we haven't done our best.
And if Tang Jing had not made a decisive decision and dispatched the First Infantry Division of the Guards Corps in advance to rush for reinforcements, the casualties of the Flying Bear Corps would have at least doubled on this basis.
It can be seen that he also suffered the loss of "underestimating the enemy".
"At the end of the war, how many generals are willing to naturalize in Chang'an and stay in the three major legions?" Tang Jing asked.
Although the internship period was previously scheduled to be one month, after a war ended, some of the player generals who originally came to practice might have to return to the Dragon Kingdom.
It just so happened that Chang'an gained another group of aboriginal generals, so there was no need to retain them.
"Four division commanders Chen Yang, Ren Yu, Xu Jun, and Tang Haifeng have decided to naturalize in Chang'an. In addition, there are 22 brigade commanders who are also willing to stay and continue to serve in the three armies."
Less than one-third are willing to stay.
This is already good.
"Also, the player generals who led their troops to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly all took the initiative to submit their resignations." Qin Shuang added.
She probably thought.
Tang Jing asked which player generals were willing to naturalize in Chang'an, which also meant that he would be held responsible afterwards.
This one is understandable.
"No, no, it has nothing to do with this."
Tang Jing waved his hand, "Underestimating the enemy's aggressive advance will lead to a disadvantage in combat. According to the regulations of the Military Affairs Administration, you can deal with it as you want. You don't have to beat him to the end with a stick, and you won't be given a chance to atone for your merits."
"Go and tell these generals that those who are willing to stay will still be welcome in Chang'an."
To be continued...
