It was one month and thirteen days after xie'an in jilongpo received the battle report from the Yulin army.
"Lost more than 2000 people and defeated more than 60000 enemy troops." Xie an turned to the last look: "507 people died in the war..."
Half of the losses mentioned by the army refer to those who have lost combat effectiveness, including war deaths, serious injuries and disappearances. War deaths and disappearances are war damage of permanent losses. Even if the missing persons are found later, they will basically not be admitted back to the army.
All countries have similar conclusions about missing soldiers, either they can't be found after missing, or they will be punished as deserters after they are found. If they are judged to be deserters, it is difficult for them to have the opportunity to appeal, and they are most likely to be executed.
Only some missing soldiers who can show that their separation from the army is unstoppable can survive. However, even as a soldier, it would be extravagant to return to the original army. They are lucky to be arranged to continue to serve in other troops.
Xie AI took a look at the war report and mainly focused on the casualties. He turned it over and said, "destroy 7726 enemy troops, capture 23000 people, and the rest scattered."
The result of this war is that Li Jun led more than 5500 people to fight. In any way, it is a great achievement, let alone more than 500 auxiliary personnel under Li Jun who are not considered combat effectiveness.
"Li Hezhi is really a good general!" Xie AI said with appreciation: "the Great Han cavalry general, Li Hezhi should be in the middle and upper reaches."
In fact, the number of cavalry in the Han Empire was quite large, but the number was 120000, and there were six at the Legion level, of which the establishment of Huben army and Yulin army far exceeded 15000.
Huben army was the first standing army with a special designation. At first, it had less than 3000 heavy cavalry, and later it was expanded to 5000. In addition to heavy cavalry, 12000 sudden cavalry, 20000 light cavalry and 3000 bow cavalry were matched, and the number of combat troops reached 40000.
In fact, the Yulin army also has its own heavy cavalry, but the number is far less than that of the Huben army. It is only a thousand heavy cavalry. However, the number of sudden cavalry has reached 18000, 25000 light cavalry and 6000 bow cavalry, and the number of combat troops has reached 50000.
It has a special prefix, and it is also the designation of Huben and Yulin. No matter how much attention you pay to it, it can't be overemphasized.
The two troops with special names indeed fought for the country and the nation after their establishment, participated in almost every war and made countless achievements.
This time, Yu Linjun was transferred into the shogunate sequence of the western expedition. In fact, Liu Yan was expressing an attitude in this way.
Troops with special numbers generally do not move lightly. Once they are dispatched, they will not be a small fight.
Since the Yulin army moved westward, all the Han people who learned the news confirmed that the punishment of the emperor on sassanne must be based on the destruction of the country. Those who know this, if they have not been enlisted, confirm that they will not be enlisted in a short time. People with lofty ideals have to prepare their own weapons, bring dry food and embark on the road to the West.
In terms of the age distribution of the national population, the Han Empire is now in its youth.
The elderly over the age of 60 only account for less than 3% of the country, but those under the age of 13 account for 34%, those between the ages of 13 and 35 account for 57%, and the remaining 6% are between the ages of 35 and 60.
Although the proportion of children under the age of 13 accounts for an exaggerated 34%, the proportion of teenagers, young people and adults accounts for 57%. In terms of future development, this age distribution is actually the healthiest time in a country.
The Han Empire planned to expand its army to one million. Based on the proportion of men of the appropriate service age, about 17 people would be recruited.
At present, Han people around the age of 30, both men and women, have basically experienced war.
In particular, the Han people in the north of the Yangtze River not only experienced war, but also lived in the wanton killing and bullying of hooligans.
He is no stranger to war and understands that only daring to fight can have dignity. In addition, the basic national policy of the Han Empire, that is, without a title, there is nothing. In fact, the Han people are not afraid of war, or even worry and fear that war will not break out.
Once there is no war, there is no best way to change your destiny.
Too many people are illiterate and have no special skills. How can they earn titles?
Therefore, war is absolutely indispensable for people who want to change their ordinary destiny, even aspiring Han people.
The whole people are eager for war, especially the Han Empire. It may not have as many generals and families as those in the previous dynasties, but there is no lack of excellent generals.
Of course, there must be a generalist family in the Han Empire. For example, Xie an can also be regarded as a generalist family, such as ran min, Huan Wen, Xie AI, Wang Ji, etc.
Xu Zheng, LV Tai, Li Kuang, Si Hongzhuang, Qian Jiantong, Zhong Xing, Li Tan, and others, including Li Jun, belong to the kind of halfway monk. They slowly learned war skills in their military career, and then studied military books hard, and then mastered them. They had their own details of commanding the army.
Before, Li Kuang and Si Hongzhuang were the first to show their superiority among those who were not considered as generals and did not have time to become top heroes from the dragon.
Qian Jiantong, on the other side of the A-San mainland, became a wartime shogunate general because of a special situation. The problem is that he has not shown his value. Even becoming the head of the shogunate in wartime has its name. In fact, no one will take him seriously until he has a good record.
Li Jun has made a record this time. If he doesn't lose the next battle, needless to say, he will win several more battles in a row. As long as he can play well again, there is no doubt that he will become a new star and be concerned and expected by countless people.
"More troops!" Xie an knew what it meant for Li Junyi to abolish more than 50000 Sassanian troops in the first war, and decided: "give Li He another standing army!"
Xie'an immediately wrote the order. After writing it, he took it to xie'an and stamped it with the seal of the general of the western expedition. He also stamped the seal belonging to the commander of the army on the official document.
With official documents, we also need military talismans, not tiger talismans in animal style. In fact, it is a copper token and an arrow that is also copper.
With only 200000 troops on the other side of sashan, a partial division was sent to the kingdom of jidoro, and another 50000 or 60000 people were buried.
Although there are still more than 100000 troops on the other side of Sasan, the morale has been reduced because of a defeat. In addition, 100000 troops need to defend such a broad front. It is obviously an extremely useful choice to continue to attack.
Giving Li Jun a standing army is obviously that Xie an has more expectations for Li Jun.
Originally, there were about 50000 troops, plus a standing army and matched auxiliary troops, Li Jun's troops would reach about 70000.
Send 70000 troops to Li Jun, and send one army to Dora kingdom. There are not too many soldiers left in Xie an's headquarters.
However, Xie an and Xie AI don't think it's a big problem. Now Sasan is in decline after the defeat of 50000 or 60000 divisions. A large number of new legions reinforced from the rear will arrive in five days. Even if there is any accident here, there will be no pressure to wait for the follow-up troops to arrive in five days.
Sashan sent troops to send to the partial division of Dora Kingdom, which was also forced to stop halfway due to the weather. The news that they sent troops was indeed discovered by Xiaoyue's people.
The king of jidoro immediately summoned the envoy of the western expedition shogunate in Peshawar and promised a series of conditions of the western expedition shogunate, but there was only one request, that is, the Han father sent troops to save me.
In fact, if there was no sudden rainstorm, or if it took so long, the kingdom of jidoro probably didn't have enough reaction time, it should be sent to Peshawar.
Once Sasan attacks Peshawar, even if the Han army is willing to send troops to rescue, xie'an's conditions for jidoro kingdom are definitely not those before.
Unless the king of jidoro did not hesitate to immediately agree to xie'an's conditions, he may not know whether he can persist until the Han Army arrives, even without delay.
A rainy season bought more than ten days for the kingdom of jidoro. They were worried that the Han Empire would deliberately delay and wait for them to enter the end of the mountain and water to open up worse conditions, but they didn't, which made them doubt whether the rumors about the Han Empire they had heard before were false.
Xie an didn't offer new terms. The reason is that it can't be simpler.
The kingdom of jidoro is so big that its strength will not be changed because xie'an offers new conditions.
For the Han Empire, if the location of jidora kingdom was not helpful to the war, then it was necessary to improve the reputation of the Han Empire. The influence of jidora King's choice on the Han Empire was just to destroy another country.
Obviously, the western expedition army has been far away from the mainland. Next, it needs to fight with Sasan, which may be a protracted war. Killing the jidoro kingdom will be the worst choice for xie'an.
To destroy the kingdom of jidoro is to send a feather forest army or two standing armies, but after it is destroyed, it should be a land full of ruins. I don't know how many people will hate the Han people because of the subjugation of the country. Instead of fighting with the army, they destroy it sporadically and frequently.
If there is no protracted war against sassanne in the future, the western expedition army naturally doesn't care about destroying the follow-up of jidoro kingdom.
If not for the bad reputation of the Han Empire in various countries, after the destruction of the jidoro Kingdom, many rebels would kill as many as possible. In fact, it is not a matter for the contemporary Han people.
"This time, Li Tan led the army." Xie an said of the kingdom of Dora: "how?"
Xie AI pondered for a moment and said, "it's good to have Li Hezhi in front and 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, and the rest only account for more than 30%.
The general surnamed Li, who was born in Guanzhong and Northwest China, doesn't know what the situation is. Looking at the generals of the cavalry forces of the Han Empire, they are more capable of fighting the standing armies. As the commander of the army, the general surnamed Li is really not few.
Jilongpo is next to jidoro. Xie an knows that the information about the Sassanian army in the kingdom of jidoro is that the Sassanian army has entered the territory of jidoro, which seems to be invincible. If the Sassanian army cannot be stopped in the northwest of jidoro, Peshawar will face the situation of troops in the city in seven days at the latest.
Li Tan, who got the order to fight, already knew Li Jun's achievements. Before, he was still envious and jealous. He sighed how he could only stay in the military camp. As soon as he got the order to fight, he immediately fell into a state of anger and strength.
"Have you learned the achievements of the Yulin army?" Li Tan has ordered the troops to rectify and summoned the middle and high levels of the Army: "5000 against 60000, won the war, beheaded more than 7000 heads and captured more than 20000 people."
As a martial arts man, he will admit his strength to himself, but if it is related to troops with different numbers, no army will admit that he is worse than others.
Li Tan was very satisfied with the unconventional of his generals, but he didn't show it: "it's full of nonsense, or how, in terms of war achievements!"
When the soldiers were ordered, the general and the school were angry and the army moved out.
This time, there was no God to add congestion. If there was another heavy rain after the war, Li Tan would be so depressed that he would spit blood.
However, the area is really not a good environment. It is hot and stuffy at the same time. It is not a good climate for marching.
Li Tan has made the greatest psychological preparation to bring more water. The main reason is that he can reach Peshawar as soon as possible without winding along the river section.
Under the hot and stuffy weather, when people and horses are on their way, the water they need to replenish will definitely be several times as much as usual, and the consumption of water source is still greater than estimated. In addition, Li Tan is forced to change the route halfway because of the sudden overturning of carriages loaded with water source or other accidents.
There is nothing absolutely smooth in the world, especially in marching and fighting, but to overcome all kinds of unexpected or unexpected difficulties.
The Han army was still on its way, but Peshawar was killed, and the Sassanian army was surrounded.
"Han envoy, when can the reinforcements come?" Luhmaru Jiduo looked anxiously at the large number of Sasan troops outside the city: "if it's late..."
"I am not an envoy of the Han Dynasty, but an envoy of the shogunate." Ma Bin must make this clear. Otherwise, not only will he be in great trouble, but also Xie an: "there is a great difference between the two. Please don't call the leader wrong."
Before coming, Ma Bin didn't know the real situation here. He didn't know until he came. There was nothing to send to Dora Kingdom at all, but only to send to Dora alliance.
However, this is not a problem. No matter whether it is a state or an alliance between tribes, it is basically enough for many families to really rule a piece of land with hundreds of thousands of subjects.
"Well, it's a messenger." Luhmaru I don't know how to worry about this now: "there are not many defenders in the city. The enemy is fierce. I'm afraid it won't last long."
Ma Bin nodded with a smile and made a confident appearance. But he doesn't know when the reinforcements will come
