Hearing the details of the battle, Sui Xiong was really shocked.
He was not surprised at the death and injury in the pursuit phase after the frontal battle. Since ancient times, most of the deaths and injuries occurred in the pursuit phase in the era of cold weapons. Anyway, when he was helping to make the game, the talkative planner said so. So when they were drawing the background of the war, they had to highlight the tragic atmosphere of death and injury in the scene of "defeat."
However, he was very surprised that the two sides actually fought so fiercely in a frontal battle.
On the side of the aristocratic party, half of the professional soldiers died, about one-third of the knights died, and about one-fifth of the militia died. This was already very high. In Sui Xiong's impression, under normal circumstances, when about one-tenth of the casualties were lost, the disadvantaged party would often consider admitting defeat. Even if they could not admit defeat, when the casualties reached one-fifth, they would be unable to bear it and collapse.
In the army of the aristocratic party, even the militia could hold on until one-fifth of the casualties were lost before collapsing. They could already be called extraordinary elites.
However, as the saying goes, "the gap is determined by comparison." Compared to the new army of the merchant party, the "elites" of the noble party were actually nothing.
After all, the new army of the merchant party continued to fight despite almost all the officers being killed and the huge disadvantage of nearly 60% of the casualties. They even won the final battle!
This morale, this willpower, it was simply against the natural order of things! In Sui Xiong's impression, in this world, probably only the Church Knights, which were all composed of devout believers or even fanatics, could have such fighting willpower.
Even on the Earth before Sui Xiong's time travel, there were only a handful of troops that could withstand such a shocking loss in a field battle and fight to victory. Indeed, there were only a handful of them. Even if all ten fingers were added together, it would probably be enough.
Although Sui Xiong himself lived in a country that was protected by one of the top ten troops, and he had more than one friend who was a soldier, he did not believe that there were many troops in the world that were qualified to join the ranks of the "Iron Army."
There was a famous saying on the internet that East Asia was the so-called "Monster House". The forces that could stand firm here, no matter how strong or weak, all had tough bodies and fists. If they were moved to the "Beginner's Zone" such as Africa, South America, or the Middle East, even an army that was nicknamed "Monkey" or "Strawberry" by many people would be able to punch a tiger of the South Mountain and kick a dragon of the North Sea with a sign of "Who Will Fight Me".
In this world, because of the existence of a True God, the power of "faith" was getting stronger and stronger. The Church Knights were usually able to fight to the last man without flinching even if they had to face a mountain of daggers or a sea of fire with a single command. Therefore, although the Church's Knights were not large in scale, their combat power was often astonishing. Ordinary professional armies would not have much of an advantage in front of them even if it was ten against one. As for the militia, they were not even worth mentioning. It was just like how Sui Xiong had seen professional e-sports players playing friendly games with fans on the Internet. If they were a little serious, the battle would be over …
From Sui Xiong's point of view, although the new army trained by the merchant party was not as good as the Church Knights, it was already the closest to their level. Even though the Republic of Northwest's army might be better trained and equipped than them, in terms of fighting spirit, they might not be able to match up to them.
How did they train such an army? He couldn't help but feel curious.
He had once peeked at the merchant faction training the new army. However, from his impression of the new army at that time, they were not particularly powerful. How could they have changed so much in just a few years?
He asked Leon, and Leon was also a little confused.
"I have never seen the training of the new army. If you ask me, I really don't know anything," he said. "However, I am also very curious. I really want to know how such an army was trained. In fact, not only me, every country and every force in the world is very curious. I don't know how many spies have been sent out to find out information. Until now, I haven't heard of anyone who has been able to get any concrete information."
Sui Xiong nodded and then went to find the God of War, Wenner.
His intuition told him that looking for Wenner was definitely the right choice.
And … from a rational point of view, it was impossible for Wenner to not know anything about the emergence of an excellent army in the human world. He must have some insider information.
Sui Xiong's guess was right. Wenner did have insider information.
When Sui Xiong explained the purpose of his visit, he was silent for a while and then smiled awkwardly.
"That army … was trained by me and Augmentin together," he said.
Sui Xiong was stunned. After a few seconds, he asked, "You and Augmentin trained together? Both of you? Together? "
"Yes, we watched the training of the new army. I felt that they were already very good, but not good enough. There was still room for improvement. Augmentin said that it was not enough to only know how to train. A strong army not only needs excellent fighting ability, excellent equipment and strict discipline, but also needs clear and firm beliefs … So we each found a believer to possess, pretended to be ordinary people, and became officers. "
"And then?" Sui Xiong asked curiously.
"It was easy for us to enter a training camp and become instructors. After about three years, we finally built an army that we were somewhat satisfied with, "Wenner said." Then, we came back. "
Sui Xiong thought for a while and asked, "How did you do it?"
"I was in charge of the specific training, mainly to strengthen their sense of cooperation. For ordinary soldiers, individual strength was far less important than teamwork. So I reduced the training of individual strength and focused on strengthening their ability to cooperate. The goal is to build an army that can be formed by a few people at any time and any place. "
Sui Xiong nodded. This was indeed a good idea.
"Augmentin was not actually in charge of the training. He was mainly responsible for ideological mobilization. He used his divine power to persuade the person in charge of the training camp to sign a contract with every soldier. The main content of the contract was that even if the soldiers died in battle, their families would receive help from the state and would not have to worry about food and clothing. If some of their children were willing to join the army, they would have better living conditions. But correspondingly, they would not get trophies from the battle, but only receive combat allowances … "
"Wait!" Sui Xiong was stunned and asked, "Not get trophies? No dividends from the battle? How could this work? "
Wenner was also stunned and looked at him in confusion. "Isn't this what you said before?"
"Ah? Did I say this? "Sui Xiong was confused.
"First, all actions must be under the command; second, do not take a needle or a thread from the masses; third, all seized goods must be returned to the state," Wenner said. "At that time, you even made it into a song, but you said you had forgotten the latter part …"
Sui Xiong remembered that when he was chatting with Wenner, he used to sing the Three Main Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention.
But at that time, he could not memorize the whole song, and in the end, he only sang the first half …
