From Soldier To Emperor

In the Western Regions, it is customary to count only the Han troops and front-line elites in the field. The Semu servants do not control whether they have war experience. They are all scum that can't fight tough battles.

In the Western Regions, Semu people are generally used to deal with Greenskins, because they know that Greenskins never capture human captives, and they don't want to give Greenskins a tooth sacrifice, so they must fight to the end on the battlefield!

However, fighting against the human army is another mentality. Why do they work hard for the Han Chinese who oppress them?

On the battlefield, there is a supervising team that won't let me back. Isn't it enough for Laozi to surrender?

The big deal is to surrender and become a slave to a coolie. Anyway, what you do as a soldier for the Han is also a coolie...

Therefore, unless it is a siege war, the Han generals in the Western Regions will not mobilize a large number of Sermon servants, which can easily cause a large-scale defeat on the battlefield.

In the siege, we recruit the Sermons' servant army, just to have enough cannon fodder to consume during the siege...

After all, siege warfare is different from field warfare. Once Semuren collapses in field warfare, he can escape in other directions except the direction of the enemy, and it is convenient to surrender.

The siege battle is very hard. I can only be rushed to the front of the city. It is not easy to surrender on the wall...

Moreover, in the siege battle, the teams rushed up in waves. The wall was so big that it was impossible for everyone to rush up. The people in the front surrendered and those in the back were hard to find. The red-eyed defenders were likely to join together. Those who surrendered were chopped off together.

It is easy to surrender in a field battle. With a wide field of vision, one surrender is to kneel down a large area. As long as the enemy is not frantic, it is impossible to continue to slaughter the knife, and the spread of surrender and defeat in the field is also very strong!

Yuchi Yingzhe came to siege the city and grab the land, so naturally he had to bring a large number of servants of the lusty eyes. The logistical pressure was nothing in his eyes, and it was enough to eat on the spot.

It's not that Yuchi Yingzhe is inhumane. In this era, even the mainland is often eaten on the spot by the imperial army when there is insufficient food and grass. What's more, it is a remote conquest?

For Yuchi Yingzhe, apart from Yutian Army Town, all other prefectures and counties belong to the ‘different places’!

Of course, feeding on the spot does not mean unscrupulous robbery. What's the difference between it and Tufan barbarian?

Generally speaking, the villages of Semu people let go of looting, but the gentry class of Han people knocked out a sum of grain on the grounds of labor, which was equivalent to collecting protection fees.

This protection fee will not be charged too much. If the gentry class of Han people along the way is drained, it will cause a series of reactions.

The gentry class of Han Chinese in the Western Regions is armed with clan!

However, the colored villages can be robbed, plus the protection fee of the gentry class of the Han people, enough food for the army, anyway, the army of the lieutenant Chi Yingzhe of Khotan just passed by and was not staying for a long time.

The tens of thousands of young men and women who served in the army did not have the qualifications to eat enough, and could barely starve to death. The food consumed was not as large as the army of tens of thousands of Han people in the headquarters of Yuchi Yingzhe.

Even if the places where tens of thousands of people have passed, the damage to local production will not be small, especially the ordinary farmers, who will be slaughtered by the whole family if they resist!

The wars of this era are far more barbaric than civilized society in the 21st century!

Because of this, Richard’s previous slaughter policy did not arouse strong hostility from other regions. After all, none of the warlords of this era is a good thing...

Raising an army is a very costly affair, especially during the expedition, if the local people are not searched for, their army will be scattered by itself...

At this time, the order established by the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions has long since disappeared, but because the reunification has not been completed and the state of war is still in chaos, most of the government still retains the system originally established by the Tang court.

Even in the areas controlled by the reformed Richard, most of the original Tang officials were used. Except for Richard's reform policy, other legal provisions continued to follow the original Tang system.

As long as the original chain of interests of the Han gentry class is not broken, the old system left by Datang will continue to operate, and at most some corners will be changed. The essence will not change.

However, Richard has not yet been able to mobilize the fundamental interests of the Han gentry class. After all, the Han gentry class of this alien Datang is too strong. Every family has guards and can easily pull out a group of armored soldiers...

Even the Han Chinese gentry class has more martial arts power than the government!

After Richard took over, the original warrior of the Tang government was appointed as a grass-roots officer by Richard's incorporation into the field army, or he voluntarily resigned and went to the rivers and lakes.

When the army of Yingzhe Yuchi entered the U.S. Mansion, Richard's three main field regiments and the system headquarters also merged into one place, with tens of thousands of people!

This time, Richard did not enlist a large number of Sermons.

There is no other reason. What Richard is going to do next is a field battle rather than a siege, so the demand for cannon fodder is very low. The feature of the Sermon's servant army is too pitted, even if it is used by the supervising team to kill it...

If a large number of servants are recruited, it will only increase the pressure of logistical food and grass several times in vain.

If a large number of young people die on the battlefield, it will reduce the local young labor force and affect food production...

Now the Semu people have become the serf class, and legally they are Richard’s personal property. Even if those Han landlords use it, they are still enslaved by lease for life...

Therefore, the control of the young and strong labor of the Semu people is far stricter than that of the previous Datang government, and the serfs of the Semu people have been tied to the land for almost their entire lives!

Of course, the probability of the Semu people rebelling was greatly reduced. At this time, it would be a bit of a loss for Richard to consume the number of the young and strong Semu people meaninglessly.

Therefore ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Richard only selected the Eighth Field Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Government as the whole army's supply team, and the rest are elites of the main battle!

Yuchi Yingzhe obviously did not expect that the King of Ming, Li Cha, who he regarded as a soft persimmon, would really lead his troops on the expedition, intending to fight against him in the field.

The opponent did not show any signs of a surprise attack, that is, it was steadily advancing towards the enemy's army entering the U.S. government.

There was a reason why Richard gave up the defense of the U.S. government. He wanted to wipe out the main force of Yuchi Yingzhe in the wild!

If the tortoise is shrunk in the city, the counties and towns outside the U.S. government will become a paradise for Yuchi Yingzhe's happy life. Richard is completely in a state of strategic passiveness. Is it possible to wait for Yuchi Yingzhe to take the entire U.S. government Huohuocheng into the ruins before going to war?

If Yuchi Yingzhe finds that the U.S. Mansion City is difficult to capture, wouldn't he be dumbfounded after leaving Richard?

Therefore, holding on to the city and waiting for the enemy to attack is often the next policy. Unless the enemy has a reason to attack, or the strength gap between the two sides is too large, the other party will choose to defend the city.
