Sweep the World

It was a month and thirteen days after Xie An in Jilongpo received the battle report from the Yulin Army.

"We lost more than 2,000 people and defeated more than 60,000 enemy troops." Xie An turned to the end and took a look: "Five hundred and seven people died in the battle..."

Half of the losses mentioned by the army refer to personnel who have lost combat effectiveness, including deaths, serious injuries, and disappearances. Among them, deaths and disappearances are regarded as permanent losses. Even if they are found later, they will basically not be admitted again. force.

All countries have similar conclusions on the missing soldiers. Either they cannot be found after they disappeared, or they are treated as deserters after they are found. If they are judged to be deserters, it is difficult for them to appeal, and the possibility of execution is the greatest.

Only some of the missing soldiers who can show that being separated from the army is unstoppable by manpower can they survive, but even as a soldier, it would be an extravagant wish to return to the original army, and it would be lucky to be arranged to continue to serve in another army.

Xie Ai took a look at the battle report, mainly focusing on the casualties, turned it over and said: "Destroyed 7,726 enemy troops, captured 23,000, and the rest were scattered."

Such a result was achieved by Li Jun led by more than five thousand five hundred people. No matter which aspect, it was quite a remarkable achievement, not to mention that Li Jun had more than five hundred auxiliary personnel who were not considered combat effective.

"Li Hezhi is really a good general!" Xie Ai said with admiration: "Dahan cavalry commander, Li Hezhi should be the middle and upper reaches."

The number of cavalry in the Han Empire is actually quite large, but the number is 120,000, and there are six at the level of the legion. Among them, the Huben Army and the Habayashi Army are far more than 15,000.

The Tiger Ben Army was the first standing army with a special designation. At the beginning, there were only less than three thousand heavy cavalry, but later it was expanded to five thousand. In addition to the heavy cavalry, there were 12,000 Turkmen, 20,000 light cavalry, and 3,000 archers, and the number of soldiers reached 40,000.

The Habayashi Army actually has its own heavy cavalry, but the number is far less than that of the Tiger Ben Army. It is only a 1,000-man equipped heavy cavalry. However, the number of assault cavalry has reached 18,000, with 25,000. Hussars and 6,000 archers, the number of soldiers reached 50,000.

There are special prefixes and names like Huben and Habayashi, no matter how important it is, it cannot be overstated.

Two troops with special designations, they indeed also fought for the country and the nation after their establishment, participated in almost every war, and made countless achievements.

This time the Habayashi army was transferred to the shogunate sequence of the Western Expedition. In fact, Liu Yan was using this method to express an attitude.

Troops with special numbers generally do not move lightly, and once they are dispatched, it will not be a trivial matter.

Since the Yulin army was pulled out to the west, all the Han people who learned the news confirmed that the emperor's punishment of Sassan would be based on breaking the country. Those who know this, if they have not been drafted into the army, confirm that they will no longer be drafted within a short period of time. People with lofty ideals must bring their own weapons with dry food and embark on the road to the west.

Calculated by the age distribution stage of the national population, the Han Empire is now in its youth.

People over 60 only account for less than 3% of the country, while people under 13 account for 34% of the country, and people aged 13 to 35 account for 5% of the country. Seventeen, the remaining six percent are between 35 and 60 years old.

Although children under the age of 13 account for an exaggerated 34%, the proportion of adolescents, young adults, and adults is 57%. In terms of future development, this age distribution is actually an exaggerated proportion. When the country is at its healthiest.

The Han Empire intends to expand its army to one million. Calculated by the proportion of men of the appropriate age group, about seventeen talents will be enlisted for one person.

At present, Han people in their thirties, regardless of male and female, have basically gone through wars.

Especially the Han people north of the Yangtze River are not only experiencing wars, they have also lived in the wanton killing and bullying of the Husbands.

I am no stranger to war. I understand that only daring to fight can have dignity. Coupled with the basic national policy of the Han Empire, that is, if there is no title, the Han people are really not afraid of war. It can even be said that they are worried and afraid that no war will break out.

Once there is no war, there is no best way to change one's destiny.

Too many people are illiterate and have no special skills. How can they earn a title?

Therefore, war is absolutely indispensable for people who want to change their ordinary destiny, even the aspiring Han.

The whole people yearn for war, especially the Han Empire gained a new life and rise from the war. Perhaps there are not so many generals and families like those in the previous dynasties, but there is no shortage of outstanding generals.

Of course, there must be a family of generals in the Han Empire. For example, Xie An can also be regarded as a family of generals. Ran Min, Huan Wen, Xie Ai, Wang Ji... and other people with powerful families are all considered to be a family of generals.

Xu Zheng, Lu Tai, Li Kuang, Si Hongzhuang, Qian Jiantong, Zhong Xing, Li Tan... and so on, including Li Jun, they belonged to the kind of monks halfway through. They slowly learned warfare skills during their military careers, and then they studied military books hard to master them, and they had their own background in commanding military operations.

Li Kuang and Si Hongzhuang were among the first to show off as those who were not considered to be a family of generals and who had not had time to become the top Conglong heroes.

Qian Jiantong on the side of Asan Continent, because of a special situation, he became the chief commander of the shogunate in the wartime. The problem is that he hasn't demonstrated his worth, even if he is the leader of the shogunate during the war, he has no name. In fact, no one will take him seriously before he has a decent record.

Li Jun has a record this time. If he does not lose in the next battle, not to mention several consecutive victories, as long as he can perform a little better, he will undoubtedly become a rising star. It is watched and expected by countless people.

"Increase troops!" Xie An knew very well what it meant when Li Jun abolished more than 50,000 Sassanian troops in the first battle, and decided: "Give Li Hezhi another standing army!"

Xie An immediately wrote the order, and after it was written, he gave Xie An the seal of the general of the Western Expedition, and he also affixed the seal of the military commander's history on the official document.

With the official document, a soldier talisman is also needed. It is not an animal-style tiger talisman. It is actually a copper token and a copper token.

Sassan had only two hundred thousand troops, and he divided a group of divisions to the Kingdom of Jidoruo, and killed another fifty to sixty thousand.

Although Sassan's military strength is still more than 100,000, the morale has been low because of a defeat, and then 100,000 troops need to defend such a wide front, and continuing to attack is obviously a choice that can make a difference.

Give Li Jun a standing army, obviously Xie An has more expectations for Li Jun.

Originally had about 50,000 troops, plus a standing army and matching auxiliary soldiers, Li Jun's troops would reach about 70,000 troops.

Seventy thousand soldiers were divided out to Li Jun, and a group of soldiers and horses had to be sent to the Kingdom of Doroth. There were not too many soldiers and horses left in Xie An's headquarters.

However, Xie An and Xie Ai don’t think it’s a big problem. Now it’s the Sassanids who lost 50,000 to 60,000 troops and the new army will arrive in large numbers within five days, even if there are any. What is the accident, there will be no pressure if you stick to it for five days and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive.

Sassan divided his troops to the partial division of the Kingdom of Jidoruo, but was also forced to stop halfway due to the influence of the weather. The news of their dispatch of troops was indeed discovered by the Xiaoyue people.

The king of Jidoruo immediately summoned the envoy of the shogunate in Peshawar and agreed to a series of conditions of the shogunate, but there was only one request, that is, the Han father quickly sent troops to rescue me.

In fact, if there is no sudden heavy rain, or it will last for a long time, the Kingdom of Jidoruo estimated that it did not have enough reaction time to be brought to Peshawar.

Once Sasan attacked Peshawar, even if the Han army was willing to send troops to rescue, Xie An's conditions for the Jiduoluo Kingdom were definitely not those before.

Unless the king of Jidoruo did not hesitate to immediately agree to Xie'an's terms, maybe even if there was no delay, with the strength of Jidoruo Kingdom, I still don't know whether he can insist on the arrival of the Han army.

A rainy season bought more than ten days for the Jidala Kingdom. They were originally worried that the Han Empire would deliberately delay, waiting for them to enter the end of the mountain and open up even worse conditions, but they did not, making them doubt that they had listened before. Whether the rumors about the Han Empire are false.

Xie An didn't offer new conditions, the reason could not be simpler.

Jiduoluo Kingdom is just that big, and how much strength it has will not be changed because of Xie An's new conditions.

For the Han Empire, if the location of the Jidora Kingdom was not helpful to this war, then it was necessary to improve the reputation of the Han Empire. Which side of the Jidora Kingdom chose to stand would also have an impact on the Han Empire. It's just to destroy one more country.

Obviously, the army of the Western Expedition has been far away from the mainland, and the next may be a protracted war with Sassan. Destroying the Kingdom of Jedoruo would be the worst choice for Xie An.

Destroying the Jidala Kingdom is certainly a matter of sending the Habayashi army or two standing armies, but after the destruction, it should be a land full of ruins. I don’t know how many people will hate the Han people because of the subjugation, not with the army. The fighting is fragmented and frequent destruction.

If there is no prolonged war against Sassan in the future, the army of the Western Expedition will naturally not care about destroying the follow-up of the Kingdom of Jidoruo.

If it weren’t for the current reputation of the Han Empire in various countries, after the Jiedoruo Kingdom was destroyed, as many rebels would be killed, in fact, it would not be a problem for the contemporary Han people.

"This time, Li Tan led the army." Xie An was talking about the rescue of Jidoruo Kingdom: "How?"

Xie Ai pondered for a while, and said, "It's very good to have Li Hezhi in front of you to achieve the name of Double Li."

In fact, there are not so many Li surnames in the Han Empire. Most of them are concentrated in Guanzhong and Northwest. The rest of the region only accounts for more than 30%.

The generals surnamed Li, who came from Guanzhong and northwestern China, don’t know what the situation is. Check the generals of the cavalry troops of the Han Empire and find out which standing army can fight better. As the leader of the army, the general surnamed Li is really not too few.

Jilongpo is right next to Jidoruo. Xie An knows about the information about the Sassanid army that went to the Jidoruo Kingdom. The Sassanian army has already entered the territory of Jidoror. It seems that there is still a little invincible , If the Sassanian army cannot be stopped in the northwestern part of Jidoruo, Peshawar will face the situation of being near the city in seven days at the latest.

Li Tan, who was given the order to expedition, already knew the record that Li Jun had played. He was still envious and jealous before. He sighed how he could only stay in the barracks. Once he got the order to expedition, he immediately fell into a state of desperation.

"The kings have already learned about the achievements of the Yulin army?" Li Tan has ordered the troops to reorganize and summoned the high-level military: "Five thousand against sixty thousand, win the battle, behead more than 7,000 heads, and take more than 20,000 prisoners. people."

As a warrior, you will recognize strengths and weaknesses personally, but if it is related to troops of different numbers, no troops will admit that they are inferior to others.

Li Tan was very satisfied with the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, but he did not show it: "Is it nonsense, or how, in terms of record!"

All the troops were ordered, the commander was angry, and the army began to pull out.

This time there is no God to add to the blockage, if another heavy rain after the expedition makes it necessary to stop the march, Li Tan will definitely be depressed to vomit blood.

However, this area is not really a good environment. It is hot and boring at the same time. It is not a good climate for marching.

Li Tan has already tried his best to bring more water. The main reason is that he can reach Peshawar as soon as possible without winding around the river section.

Under the hot and boring weather, people and horses need to replenish water several times the usual when they are on the road. The water consumption is still larger than estimated, and because of the rush, there are constantly loading water sources. The carriage overturned or other accidents caused Li Tan to be forced to change his route midway.

There is nothing in the world that is absolutely smooth, especially in marching battles, but to overcome all kinds of unexpected or unexpected difficulties.

The Han army was still on the way~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Peshawar was surrounded by the slain Sassanid army.

"Han ambassador, when will the reinforcements come?" Luhmaru Ji looked at the large number of Sassanid troops outside the city with worry: "If it's late..."

"This official is not a Han messenger, but only a shogunate messenger." Ma Bin must make this point clear, otherwise not only will he be troublesome, even Xie An will be unlucky: "There is a big difference between the two, but also the chief. Don’t call it wrong."

Before he came, Ma Bin didn't understand the real situation here, and only after he came did he realized that there was nothing to send to the Duo Luo Kingdom at all, and some were just to send to the Duo Alliance.

But this is not a problem. Regardless of whether it is a country or an alliance between tribes, the Jiduo family really rules a piece of land, with hundreds of thousands of subjects, which is basically enough.

"Uh, it's the messenger." Luhmaru Jiduo is still struggling with this: "There are not many defenders in the city, and the enemy is coming fiercely. I'm afraid it won't last long."

Ma Bin smiled and nodded constantly, making a confident appearance. It's just that he doesn't know when the reinforcements will come...
