The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 390

[Chapter 385 Pre-war Analysis]

The coalition forces that stopped by the river bank have completely withdrawn, and the remaining 40,000 troops in the dojo have already crossed the river.

Although no enemy could be seen on the river bank at this time, the coalition forces had already retreated to Iiyama Castle, which was four or five miles away.

But for the sake of safety, and to really lay a foundation on the opposite side of the river bank, Tomita Yoshihide ordered his army to set up a barracks not far from the river bank, on a relatively broad plain.

After a busy afternoon, I kept cutting down trees on the river bank, and it was only near evening that a fairly broad camp was established.

After the camp was completed, all the soldiers were exhausted. Except for some who were left to guard at night, the rest all returned to their tents and fell into a deep sleep.

On the second day, after a night of recuperation, the exhausted army regained its vitality and appeared full of expressions.

However, although the army of the dojo is quite full of expressions, and they all seem to be full of energy, their morale is quite low, and they all seem to be not very optimistic about the war.

It’s no wonder that just yesterday, the entire army of 50,000 people lost nearly 7,000 people.

1/7 of the death rate, this is a rather terrifying number.

As I said before, if the average army loses more than 30%, it will be on the verge of collapse.

Although the current dojo army did not exceed the death rate of the third floor, it was quite close.

Not to mention that so many people were killed and injured, it happened only in a short morning, and when you think about it, you will find it extremely terrifying.

This kind of terrifying casualties could not help but make the entire army feel extremely confused and fearful about the next fate, and some sadness is inevitable.

In order to salvage this situation and prevent the army from collapsing, it is also to stabilize his position of power so that his prestige in the army does not decrease too much.

Yoshisari Tomita decided to launch the first large-scale battle against the coalition forces the day after crossing the river, that is, today.

Although the morale of the entire dojo army inevitably fell into a slump, many people were confused about the next war, but there were also many people who felt extremely angry about the previous suffocation.

This is an emotion that can be exploited.

To have anger means not to be afraid, and to fight without fear.

Under the current circumstances, it is a very good phenomenon to dare to fight against the opposing leader, and still fight with anger.

The coalition is not scary.

This is the true thought of Tomita Yoshisari, and it is also the thought of many high-level generals in the dojo army.

The reason why the coalition is called the coalition means that it is an army composed of many forces.

So many forces are mixed together, even if they temporarily cooperate due to external pressure, there must be various conflicts.

Coupled with the previous hatred of each other, Tomita Yoshisari is almost certain that the entire coalition cannot really be united and concentrate all forces to fight against him.

The coalition forces will definitely have these kinds of reservations when fighting against themselves. Whether they are in the idea of preserving their strength, or they want to trick their own secret opponents, they will not be able to do their best on the battlefield.

In order to eliminate the coalition and unify the entire Shinano country, the entire army is striving for this goal and contributing all their strengths.

At that time, one has concentrated all the power, and the other is scattered because of disagreement. You can see at a glance which one is better and which is worse.

Not to mention that the coalition army is a combination of several forces that are mixed together. Their members are uneven, some are brave warriors, some are farmers who shave food in the fields, some have to undergo excellent training, and some even have weapons. Unstable.

This extremely disparate numerical difference makes the entire coalition appear a deformed state.

Fighting is not the better the more the number of people, the power that can really be used and the power that can be exerted is the good power.

This is how the coalition forces are. Their entire structure is polarized, and the gap between them is indescribable.

The most powerful ones are of course those high-ranking warrior masters, each of whom has a second-order cultivation base, and is born with a noble bloodline, those who are born to rule those poor pariahs.

But there are very few people in this group. Within the 50,000 coalition troops, all of them can’t even make 3,000. They only look like 26,700.

And these samurai are also divided into dozens of forces, and they are indistinguishable from each other, making it difficult to effectively command and use them.

More importantly, because of their noble birth, these warriors have always been the masters of dozens of people, and basically have not received qualified army training.

Except for their outstanding martial arts skills compared to ordinary people, they can kill a dozen or even twenty people alone, and they have never trained any joint strikes at all.

When fighting, they are full of fierce fighting and rushing, showing personal heroism, and they don’t know how to cooperate or how the battlefield situation changes.

Compared with the 5,000 samurai army of the dojo army, this kind of strength is really too far behind.

The samurai corps present received a qualified training first. No matter how powerful or honorable he was before, as long as he became a disciple of the dojo, he would definitely receive a military training.

Since most of these samurai corps came from poor and lowly backgrounds, and most of them were promoted from the pariah class, they did not have much resistance to this kind of military training.

And a small number of people after that, even if they were of noble birth, faced such a decision that most people obeyed, their voices were insignificant, and they could only go with the flow.

So it can be said that the army of the dojo is a strictly trained army composed of martial arts masters.

This trained regiment is not only proficient in killing techniques, but also knows how to cooperate and obey orders.

Compared with those warrior masters who only know how to be brave, rebellious, and only know how to kill, I don’t know how much stronger they are.

Therefore, there are not only more people in the dojo with top combat power, but also the number of the coalition forces does not know how many streets, and the two sides are not on the same level at all.

If I really want to describe it, it is probably an elite army against a group of rabble!

Needless to say, the battle strength at the bottom, the coalition forces are completely a group of Ashikari pulled out, that is, farmers who are digging food in the fields.

Even if some of these farmers have killed some people, seen a little blood, and been on the battlefield once or twice.

But in the end, it still doesn’t change the fact that they spend most of the year shaving food in the ground and have not received strict military training.

So in the final analysis, it is still a group of farmers, a mob.

But the dojo army is different. Although there are a large number of recruits, these recruits have also received military training for three months to six months, and they are continuous every day.

Due to the payment of many local tyrants, Zhong Yu’s material reserves are extremely rich, especially in terms of food.

All the food added up, enough for his army of 200,000 to fight outside for three years, with a slight surplus.

Therefore, in training the army, the food problem that many local tyrants worry about does not exist at all.

All soldiers can open to training, without fear of consuming too much physical strength and breaking down because there is not enough food to replenish.

Under this circumstance, it has also trained an army that is extremely majestic at first glance.

Really, why say majestic?

Because as long as you take a look at the faces of the ordinary soldiers in the dojo army, you can see that although they are generally not tall, basically everyone can see a little ruddy on their faces, and there is a little bit of flesh on their bodies.

But on the other hand, on the coalition side, all the soldiers except the samurai.

Except for some of the more elite Ashikaga, most of them are hungry people with yellow faces and thin muscles.

How to compare the two, the soldiers on this side of the dojo are not majestic, what are they?
