Banner of the Evil God

Sui Xiong was really shocked when he heard the details of that battle.

He was not surprised by the casualties in the pursuit phase after a frontal battle. Since ancient times, most of the main casualties in cold weapon era wars occurred in the pursuit phase - anyway, that's what the talkative planner said when he helped make the game. , so when they are asked to draw war backgrounds, they must highlight the tragic atmosphere of casualties and chaos in the "defeat" scene.

However, he was surprised that the two sides fought so fiercely in a head-on battle.

As for the aristocracy, half of the professional soldiers died in the battle, about one-third of the knights died in the battle, and about one-fifth of the militiamen died in the battle. This battle loss was already very high. In Sui Xiong's impression, under normal circumstances, when the battle loss is about one-tenth, the disadvantaged side will often consider admitting defeat. Even if they cannot admit defeat, when the battle damage reaches one-fifth, they will be unable to bear it and collapse.

Among the aristocratic armies, even the militiamen were able to survive until one-fifth of the battle was lost before collapsing. They were already considered to be extraordinary elites.

However, as the saying goes, "the gap is calculated." Compared with the new army of the merchant faction, the "elite" of the aristocratic faction is actually nothing.

You know, the new army of the merchant faction continued to fight despite the huge disadvantage of having almost all their officers wiped out and nearly 60% of their battle losses, and won the final decisive battle!

This morale and will are simply outrageous! In Sui Xiong's impression, in this world, only the church knights who belong to the church and are composed of devout believers and even fanatics can have such a will to fight.

Even on the earth before Sui Xiong's time travel, there were only a handful of armies that could withstand such staggering losses in field battles and fight to victory - really only a handful, with two hands and ten fingers combined, most of them would be enough. Used.

Although Sui Xiong himself lives in a country defended by one of the top armies of less than ten armies, and has more than one soldier among his friends, he never believes that there are many armies in the world who are qualified to join the "Iron Army" of ranks.

There is a famous saying on the Internet that East Asia is the so-called "monster room". The forces that can stand upright here, no matter strong or weak, each have strong bodies and fists. If they are moved to Africa, South America or If you go to "newbie areas" like the Middle East, even the troops nicknamed "monkeys" or "strawberries" by many people can punch the tigers in the South Mountains, kick the dragons in the North Sea, and hang up a sign saying "Who can compete with you?"

In this world, because of the existence of the true God, the power of "faith" becomes more and more powerful. The Knights of the Church are often able to follow orders without flinching, and fighting to the last drop is a matter of course for them. Therefore, although the Church Knights are small in size, their combat effectiveness is often amazing. In front of them, ordinary professional armies may not have much advantage against one against ten. As for the militia, that is not worth mentioning. Just like Sui Xiong watching a professional e-sports expert playing a friendly game with fans online, if he was just a little serious, the battle would be over...

In Sui Xiong's view, although the new army trained by the merchants is not as good as the Church Knights, it is relatively close to this level. Apart from anything else, although the army of the Northwest Republic may be better trained and better equipped than them, in terms of fighting will, they may still not be able to match them.

How is such an army trained? He couldn't help but be a little curious.

He once took a peek at the Merchant Faction training new troops, but from his impression at the time, those new troops were not particularly powerful. How could they suddenly be transformed after not seeing each other for several years?

He asked Leon, who was also a little confused.

"I have never seen the new army training back then. If you ask me, I really don't know anything." He said, "However, I am also very curious and want to know how such an army is trained - -In fact, let alone me, every country and force in the world is very curious and has sent countless spies to find out the news. Even now, no one has been able to find out the conclusive news. "

Sui Xiong nodded, and then went to find Wenner, the God of War.

His intuition told him that he was definitely right to find Wenner.

Moreover... from a rational point of view, there is a super-excellent army in the world. Wenner cannot know anything about it. There must be some internal information.

Sui Xiong guessed right, Wenner did have inside information.

After Sui Xiong explained his purpose, he was silent for a while and smiled awkwardly.

"That army... was trained jointly by Ogmandine and I." He said.

Sui Xiong was stunned. After a few seconds, he asked: "You and Ogmandine trained together? You two? Join forces?"

"Yes, we watched the training of the new army. I think they are already very good, but they are not good enough. There is still room for improvement. Ogmandine said that only training is not enough. A strong army , not only requires excellent combat ability, sophisticated equipment and serious discipline, but also clear and firm beliefs... So we each found a believer to possess us, pretended to be mortals, and became officers. "

"Then what?" Sui Xiong asked curiously.

"We easily entered a training camp and became instructors. It took about three years to finally build an army that we were barely satisfied with," Wenner said. "Then we came back. "

Sui Xiong thought for a while and asked, "How did you do it?"

"I am responsible for specific training, mainly to strengthen their sense of cooperation. For ordinary soldiers, individual force is far less important than everyone's cooperation. So I reduced the training of individual force and focused on strengthening their cooperation. Ability. The goal is to create an army where just a few people can form a combat team at any time and anywhere.”

Sui Xiong nodded, this is indeed a good idea.

"Ogmandine is not actually responsible for training. He is mainly responsible for ideological mobilization. He used his divine power to persuade the person in charge of the training camp to sign a contract for every soldier. The main content of the contract is that even if the soldier dies in battle, , their families can also receive assistance from the state, and have no worries about food and clothing. If any of their children are willing to join the army, they will have better living conditions, but correspondingly, they will not receive spoils in the battle. Instead, I only get combat allowance..."

"Wait a minute!" Sui Xiong was stunned and asked, "Not taking the spoils? No dividends from the war? Is this okay?"

Wenner was also stunned for a moment and looked at him doubtfully: "Isn't this what you said at the beginning?"

"Ah? Did I say this?" Sui Xiong was confused.

"First, follow the command in all actions; second, do not take advantage of the masses; third, all seizures must be returned to the public." Wenner said, "At that time, you also compiled it into a song, but in the later part you said Already forgotten..."

Sui Xiong then remembered that he once sang "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" while chatting with Wenner.

It's just that he couldn't memorize the entire song back then, and in the end he only sang a small part of the first part...
