Fortunately, what Xu Kuang was most worried about did not happen. Viscount Baihua retreated in a panic, leaving behind a large amount of supplies. Xu Kuang immediately sent people to clean the battlefield, and then stepped up efforts to build a defense line.
The antibiotic preparation machine that Xu Kuang signed in came in handy at this time. The wounded in Moguling were injected with a large amount of antibiotics, and basically all of them improved.
Henry was also helping in the field hospital at the moment. He also saw the magic of antibiotics and wanted to buy some from Xu Kuang.
But after thinking about it, he still felt that it would be better not to provoke Xu Kuang now.
At this moment, all officers appeared in the conference room.
Xu Kuang spoke first:
"Everyone, let's talk about the battle we fought today. What's the problem?"
No one dared to speak. Mushroom Ridge's losses this time were too heavy. The number of troops lost in the battle was close to one-third. This kind of battle was almost a joke with the lives of soldiers.
Zhuge Duan opened his mouth and said:
"Although the price of our victory this time is a bit heavy, but...".
Zhuge Duan couldn't say anything anymore, and in the end he could only try to take the blame on himself.
But Xu Kuang didn't give him a chance to speak. Instead, he looked at everyone and asked:
"What about you? What do you think?".
This group of people also sighed secretly, what could they think?
However, Chen Xiaohu stood up again and said to Xu Kuang:
"I think our proactive attack is a major reason. If we occupy the favorable terrain of Mushroom Ridge and hold on for several months, we may not be able to wear away this group of troops."
Xu Kuang sighed and said to Chen Xiaohu:
"But do you know how much it costs for a day in Mushroom Ridge? If we drag it on, Mushroom Ridge will be the first to die. This is not accurate. Rethink the reason."
Zhang Damiao stood up helplessly. He knew that this time it was mainly about the quality of the soldiers. Although the performance of Sergeant Mushroom Ridge was pretty good, it was far from the expectations of the generals.
Zhang Damiao sighed and said to Xu Kuang:
"This is my reason. I didn't expect that our opponent would be so difficult... There is also the problem of the quality of our soldiers. The training time of our soldiers is still too short...".
Xu Kuang sighed and asked:
"Any more?".
No one answered.
Xu Kuang sighed and said to this group of people:
"Okay, let's put this issue aside for now. The pensions for the fallen soldiers must be paid out on time. Do you understand?"
Xu Kuang cleared his throat and said again:
"By the way, I am planning to open a military academy. This is something I have considered for a long time. I feel that opening a military academy is now a very necessary thing."
This time there was no objection.
Xu Kuang sighed and said to everyone:
"Let's adjourn."
Xu Kuang already knew the answer to the question. He was the biggest culprit for the tragic outcome of this battle. He was too arrogant and confused Viscount Baihua with the five major lords, and gradually lost his awe.
Zhuge Duan did not leave, he said to Xu Kuang:
"The responsibility for this battle lies with me...".
Before Zhuge Duan finished speaking, he saw Xu Kuang sighing and he said to Zhuge Duan:
"This is not a question of who is responsible. If we can solve the problem by finding out who is responsible, then everything will become logical. The most important thing for us now is to solve the problem. If the problems of the military are not eliminated, we will I can’t have peace of mind for a day.”
Cuihua's voice sounded in Xu Kuang's mind at the right time:
"[Mission: Defeat the Baihua City Army] has been completed. Rewards: 75-caliber mountain cannon x 4, 75-caliber artillery shells x 1000, 105-caliber howitzer x 1, 105-caliber artillery shells x 400, Maxim machine gun x 8, 7.62-caliber bullets x 50000, Single-cylinder tractor drawing × 1, professional experience × 100,000."
"You have met the upgrade conditions. Do you want to upgrade?".
Xu Kuang glanced at Zhuge Duan and said:
"Sir, I want to be alone for a while...".
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Duan saluted Xu Kuang directly and walked out.
Xu Kuang used his last five mall points to buy ten cubic meters of space in the mall store and stored all the supplies in it.
It's not advisable to take these things out now. You have to wait at least half a month.
Xu Kuang told Cuihua to upgrade.
"Upgraded successfully, obtained technology tree fragment x1, number of draws x1." x4.
Xu Kuang was promoted to four levels in a row.
Xu Kuang did a little calculation and understood what was going on.
The last time he upgraded was before he went to the provincial capital. Nearly fifty days passed during this period, and he accumulated more than 60,000 experience points, plus experience in making bullets, experience in making gun barrels, and the settlement of this mission, which amounted to two 100,000 experience, so his level naturally reached cultist 8 star.

Xu Kuang's current attributes are basically close to that of a brave warrior. He is definitely not a character that can be manipulated casually. However, Xu Kuang just couldn't be happy. He added all four attribute points to his strength. He didn't want to bear that kind of power anymore. It feels like my skills are inferior to others.
Suddenly, he thought of the two wind demon eagles hovering in the sky, and thought about how to make them surrender.
The answer is of course no, there must be no other way, because Xu Kuang has nothing that can attract these two wind demon eagles.
Xu Kuang frowned. He wanted to ask Zhuge Duan, but he realized that he still couldn't let such a trivial matter bother him anymore.
Xu Kuang thought about the lottery. He was now lying down. Every time he wanted something, he would get it in the lottery. He could only place his hope on this lottery.
It is not in line with Xu Kuang's character to place his hopes on probabilistic events, but Xu Kuang has no other choice now, so he can only sigh secretly.
Xu Kuang opened the lottery interface and then started the lottery:
"The lottery was successful and resources were obtained: mall points × 100."
Xu Kuang was also a little surprised. 100 points was already a lot, but unfortunately it was not what he wanted.
"The lottery is successful and you get the resource: a small drilling platform.".
"Since the host does not have such a huge storage space, and Mushroom Ridge does not have enough space to store it, the item will be automatically stored in the storage space, and the daily storage fee is 1,000 gold coins."
"Fuck" Xu Kuang cursed directly.
But Xu Kuang didn't give up yet, he still wanted to give it a try to see if he could pull out anything good.
