Thinking of this, Tianyi said helplessly: "Can we in Hetao still be able to withstand another military expansion?"
Chu Xiangcheng and others looked at each other, and then Chu Xiangcheng came forward and said: "It is not impossible to expand the army, but it will only be 100,000 at most. The total population of our Hetao Third Road is now close to 16 million
, but Mistress, you should be very aware of our current situation. Among them, the young and strong labor force is a little more than two million. And now our total military strength is already 600,000. In other words, one-third of the labor force has been invested in the army, and
The shortage of labor has had a great impact on the development of our Third Road. Now many women have appeared in many fields that should have been cultivated by strong men. I believe you, the mistress, also noticed this during the inspection.
What you know.”
God nodded. After the Hetao experienced the catastrophe of the six tribes outside the Great Wall, the population dropped by two million, most of whom were young and strong laborers. The refugees from Youyun Sixteenth Prefecture and the people from Northwest Second Road who were later accepted were also old people.
Mainly weak women and children, the Hetao has faced the dilemma of insufficient labor from the beginning. However, the environment around the Hetao is too harsh, so it has to maintain a large army. Since Haotian launched his army in Dingzhou in 619, the Hetao has been
There was no real rest. It was not until the end of last year that Hetao 3rd Road barely recovered to the level before the war.
Bian Zhongxing said in a deep voice: "Mother, in two years, and in another two years at most, our Hetao can support an expansion of at least 200,000 troops. But now, our total strength can only be limited to a maximum of 700,000. Now there are restrictions
The reason why we are expanding our military is not because our financial and material resources are not strong enough, but because our population resources are too small. The first batch of students from Xuanyuan Military Academy this year have grown up, and by the year after next, they will be able to join the military on a large scale.
It’s just that they are really not old enough now.”
God knows that Bian Zhongxing is talking about the children who were rescued from Jinzhou back then. Most of the children at that time were around eleven or twelve years old, the oldest was only fourteen years old, and the youngest was only four or five years old. Two years have passed.
Now, the largest group of children, such as Wu Xiaolangjun and others, have been tempered in the army for a period of time, and students who graduated from Xuanyuan Military Academy have also joined the army one after another. As is Qingfeng's custom, children who are over sixteen years old
You can only join the army when you are 10 years old, and Hetao has always abided by this law. By this time the year after next, at least more than 200,000 people will have reached the age to join the army, but now is really not the time.
Looking at Tianyi's somewhat haggard expression, Chu Xiangcheng couldn't help but sigh and said: "Mother, you don't have to worry too much about the military and political affairs. With a few of us here to take care of it, I think there won't be any problems. You
Don't worry, although the situation on the lord's side is dangerous, we are not without the ability to fight back. What we discussed just now is how to deploy troops to enhance the strength of the lord's side. Of course, before that, we must first defeat Mandan.
and Baijing’s threat to our Hetao.”
From the situation where the Paradise Alliance assassinated Qingfeng's important minister, Qingfeng has become acutely aware that Haotian has become a thorn in the side of the Paradise Alliance and is their most feared opponent. However, it is obvious that the Paradise Alliance does not have the energy to deal with Haotian now.
Before the 200,000 Qingfeng army entrenched in the Xuzhou area was eliminated, even Kasimbas would not dare to easily cross Xuzhou and attack the western part of Yuzhou Road.
The tiger's majesty is still there, but the sword is still young. This is Kasimbas's evaluation of Tie Zhen. That day, Yelu Minghui led 50,000 Mandan elites to rescue the Garden Ferry. At that time, he forced back the 80,000 cavalry led by Xue Qingcheng. However,
Tie Zhen saw the opportunity and led more than 100,000 soldiers of the two legions of the Qinglong Imperial Guard to rush out immediately. As a result, Yelu Minghui, who was not a level inferior to Tie Zhen in terms of battlefield experience and military skills, was eliminated at that time.
Tie Zhen killed every single one of them, and finally left all his guards and soldiers alive. Then he actually jumped into the river and escaped with his crude dog paddle, becoming the laughing stock of the three Northeastern countries.
Although he was among hundreds of thousands of troops, Tiezhen was not afraid. After knowing that his retreat was cut off, Tiezhen led the army to the strategic material storage base Xuzhou City without hesitation, and then relied on the complete defenses
and sufficient logistics supplies, tightly nailed to the center of the Paradise Alliance. Tie Zhen is old and strong, and under full defense, even though Kasimbas's troops are twice as many as Tie Zhen's, he was almost turned into a
The iron-walled Xuzhou City also suffered a lot. But if it was ignored, Tie Zhen led 50,000 cavalry from the two legions of the Qinglong Guards and took the initiative to frequently attack the weak areas of the Paradise Alliance. Kasimba
Si set up traps many times, but Tie Zhen was also extremely experienced in the battlefield. Every time he ate the bait and escaped smoothly. However, it is not impossible to save a strategic failure with tactical success, but it is just too difficult.
Especially when facing a famous battlefield commander like Cassimbas, even Tie Zhen himself found it extremely difficult to deal with it.
Cassimbas sat quietly in his combat command room, quietly tasting the red wine in the glass. The bright red wine kept swaying in the transparent crystal glass, reflecting a moving luster. Cassimbas was very
I like this feeling, especially when I taste the hero's blood as red as blood.
"It's nerve-wracking." However, Cassimbas is not in a happy mood now. At least the battle situation in front of him makes him a little depressed: "I didn't expect that this old guy Tie Zhen is so perseverant. He has been reduced to such a situation.
Thinking of making a comeback. After all, they have been old rivals for decades, and his tactics are probably pretty much figured out. Haha, if it weren't for the limited number of troops he could mobilize before the war started, and the military orders were inconsistent, Qingfeng also had internal
A top spy, I’m afraid he won’t be able to win so smoothly.”
Thinking of this, Cassimbas couldn't help but smile again: "It seems that this old guy Tie Zhen still doesn't understand what the so-called victory over the court means. Defeat without fighting, that's about it. Although Tie Zhen is getting older and stronger,
However, the Qingfeng coalition was at a disadvantage from the beginning, and his own plan destined him to never succeed. However, I didn't expect that this old guy would still be able to clean up the mess at this time. Not only did he lead an army of more than 200,000 people, he successfully retreated to many places.
State, and put himself into such a dilemma. Hum, if the Emperor Yinglie was not too important and could capture the Emperor alive, then Qingfeng would probably collapse without a fight. If not, he would definitely be able to do it at all costs
Take Xuzhou City. Of course, if you can turn Xuzhou into a fishing bait, this is also a very good idea."
"Commander, General Haruka Jinxi wants to see you." At this moment, Haruka Jinxi's deep voice came from outside the war room.
Cassimbas put down the crystal cup in his hand and sat upright. After all, he was already nearly eighty years old. Although he was born in a military family and had a good body, time was not forgiving, and when he was young,
I have also suffered too many scars, so my body has not been as good as before in recent years. Especially the ax that Xin was carved with back then still has hidden wounds. I don’t know if I can live to survive as long as my old rival Tetsujin.
Age, Cassimbas shook his head and smiled, and said to the door: "Tonight, come in."
"I pay my respects to the commander-in-chief." Yao Jinxi bowed respectfully to Kasimbas, and then said: "Report to the commander-in-chief, there is a situation with the Qingfeng army on the front line."
"Is it the Hetao Haotian or the Qinchuan Li family?" Cassimbas said with emotion. Now the army directly under the Qingfeng imperial court, the Dragon Rider Corps, has been restrained by Zhu Zhaobu and Cheng Xianqing of the Holy Sect of Paradise. Moreover, the people in the Tiandu Holy Capital have
The group of rice insect nobles will also try their best to lobby the auxiliary king of Qingfeng, who has now become the actual ruler, to let the dragon cavalry legion stay near Tiandu Shengjing to ensure their safety. As for a second-rate legion, it is not even considered a second-rate legion.
The Yuzhou Army on board and the Eastern Army whose commander was seriously injured after an assassination and whose will to fight was greatly weakened were not taken seriously by Cassimbas at all. If they could really come, Cassimbas would not mind sending them
All are buried here.
In the current Yuzhou Road area, only the movements of the Qinchuan Li family and Hetao Haotian can attract the attention of Kasimbas. The Qinchuan Li family is worthy of being a powerful family with a history of hundreds of years. Not only is their leader the Red Eyebrow Army,
Even the 100,000-strong army led by Li Xiaomo has a combat effectiveness close to that of Qingfeng's regular army. Moreover, Li Tieming and his son, as well as Li Tiezhan, the commander of the Red Eyebrow Army, are not fuel-efficient. Now the 200,000-strong army is nailed to the east of Qiuzhou.
Dahui County, and there are more than 80,000 cavalry in it. This is not a good thing for the Holy Sect of Paradise, which is almost all infantry. The reason why Cheng Xianqing and Bing Heng have been unable to bite Li Tieming's Qinchuan army is that
Because Li Xiaomo used his cavalry advantage to launch strategic counterattacks against the Holy Sect from time to time. Cheng Xianqing and Bing Heng were obviously not military commanders at the level of Zhu Zhao and other four famous generals. As a result, they did not eat the mutton but made a fuss. If not
The fighting will of the Paradise soldiers is too crazy, and the Qinchuan army is in danger of being cut off by Zhu Zhao's army. I am afraid that the Paradise Holy Sect will suffer even greater losses.
As for Haotian in the Hetao, Cassimbas is a little angry now when he thinks of Haotian. First, in the battle in the wilderness outside the Great Wall, tens of thousands of cavalry under his command actually killed him out of his encirclement, and the ax engraved on the letter was almost
Then he died. Then came the Battle of Hukou. Although Qingfeng killed nearly 200,000 soldiers, the three northeastern countries also lost more than 150,000 soldiers, and Haotian successfully carried more than 2 million You.
The people of Yunliu Prefecture fled back to the Hetao. Then Haotian went south to the Qinwang. After careful calculation, the number of soldiers who died in the Hetao from the three Northeastern countries was close to 500,000. What is the concept of 500,000, and those were all from the Northeast?
The elite of the Three Kingdoms. If this army of 500,000 could be controlled in one's own hands, it would probably be enough to sweep Qingfeng.
