Although the Goblins are fierce and the Orcs are good at fighting, the situation on the battlefield compelled Luo Xiao, the head of the consultant group, to reconsider other options.
During these 10 days, he sent 1,000 Goblins and 2,200 Orcs to the front lines at Shanping, and equipped them with weapons. This was probably the transport capacity's limit for Tang Country: keep in mind that the railway from Fengjiang to Shanping also had to support the logistics of the Fengjiang troops, and reinforcement was almost entirely dependent on helicopters working overtime.
Yet, these 3,200 "mercenaries," within 10 days, had almost 2,000 casualties! This rate and number of casualties were a huge headache for Luo Xiao.
These troops weren't truly comprised of foreigners; those actual "mercenaries" formed from convicted death-row inmates purchased from foreign countries were still en route.
