Chapter 893 (2/2)
El on a pack horse and kuci on a donkey walked one after another on the way to the Western battlefield.
At this moment, kuci, a man who was behind el, suddenly asked El:
”Bernard, wait a minute. We only have so many troops. Do you think we have a chance to win this battle...”
Not counting the baggage troops that basically have no combat effectiveness, only 50000 soldiers can fight in this large army, and 10000 of these 50000 are recruits who have just been trained.
In terms of combat effectiveness, these 10000 recruits may be similar to these civilian men in the baggage army.
After sending this army to block the British army, wahiri announced to send 100000 troops in order to build momentum and deter the British army.
It is known as 100000 troops, but in essence, there are only 50000 soldiers.
Some ordinary soldiers and civilian men in the army may really think that they will send 100000 troops to rescue the west this time.
Although second-class Quartermaster officers are not very senior officers, they are still qualified and capable to contact and understand the truth that ordinary soldiers do not have the opportunity to understand.
Therefore, as a second-class quartermaster, kuci naturally knows the truth of sending troops. He knows that the so-called sending 100000 troops is just a strong momentum, and the real total combat strength is only 50000 people.
Although kuci did not know the specific number of troops sent by the British army this time, according to various versions he had heard at present, the number of troops sent by the British Empire this time was at least more than 150000.
Use 50000 to touch 150000... Although kuci doesn't know how to March and fight, he still knows arithmetic.
After hearing kuci's question, El looked back at kuci.
After carefully watching kuci's worried eyes for a long time, El roughly guessed what kuci was thinking now.
”Kolovin, second class.” El smiled at kuci. ”Don't worry, the British army is not so terrible.”
”We won't face so many Britannia troops.”
”According to reliable information, only 150000 to 180000 troops were dispatched by the British Empire this time.”
”After the britannian army captured chuboer fortress, it divided into two armies.”
”In this way, there are only 70000 to 90000 people in each of the two routes of the British army.”
”The active division of the British Army gives us the opportunity to break one by one. We can break the two routes of the British army one by one.”
”We now have a total combat strength of 50000, while the British army has only 70000 to 90000 troops per route. There is not much difference in the number of troops. ”
”So - we still have a chance to win. Relax.”
After hearing El's relief, kuci's face finally looked better.
”That's right. We have a chance to win.”
”If we can't win, we still have 'hero El' here.” Speaking of this, kuci changed into a half joking tone, ”Bernard, wait, if the war situation gets stuck, or our army is at a disadvantage, will you join the commander-in-chief account to help the commander-in-chief?”
Kuci's sudden words almost made El fall off his horse.
”What 'hero El'...” El said angrily to kuci, ”don't call me such a shameful title. I can't afford to be a hero.”
”Bernard, please don't say that. Your heroic deeds in the battle of the hammer have long been well known!”
At this time, he was looking at El kuci with fiery eyes, as if many shining little stars appeared in his eyes.
El, bathed in kuci's hot eyes, sighed silently in his heart.
