Chapter 590: Selection
If you are lucky enough to make a great achievement, you may even be rewarded.
In order to enhance his social class status, he became a member of the "Rong clan" with the same status as the "scholar clan", and from then on he received the official family.
It's like being a gravity pawn now, and if you die, you will die in vain, and even the corpse may not be able to be buried in the ground, let alone the tax exemption for bereavement, but who calls them commoners from low backgrounds.
In addition, although the battlefield is dangerous, gravity pawns are not necessarily safer than warriors.
After all, a soldier can not only learn the exercises to improve his strength by boiling his body and refining his qi and blood.
In addition, it will also be issued with blades for self-defense and armor protection, so that the soldiers can have the power to protect themselves when they encounter the enemy.
And when a soldier in a linen robe encounters the enemy, he can only face the heavily armed enemy with his bare hands, and whether he can survive depends on how fast he runs on his legs.
Just like this time, their baggage battalion was attacked, almost the entire Xuanniu battalion was killed, and the winged horse battalion was also mostly damaged, and the casualties were more than the main force.
This is the main reason why the soldiers of the baggage battalion are so excited when they hear about the selection of auxiliary soldiers, and being able to become a pawn is equivalent to a fate-changing opportunity for them.
The most important thing is that once he is selected as an auxiliary soldier, all the resources that should be used to boil his body and temper his qi and blood will be supplied by the army, which is a treatment that ordinary people can't enjoy!
The physique of the talented native of the Great Wilderness was originally more than ten times stronger than that of ordinary humans in the Tang Dynasty time and space.
Even if there is no systematic body forging technique, you can strengthen your physique by lifting stones and carrying trees, but no one dares to do this.
After all, boiling the body and refining qi and blood consumes a huge amount of self, and a lot of nutrients are needed.
How dare the common people who can't even eat enough to toss casually, once they lose their qi and blood, they will hurt the origin.
The method of selection was also simple, and the officers brought some round stone balls about one meter in diameter.
Candidates only need to pick up the stone ball, complete the lifting, shoulder changing, lifting over the head and other actions to pass the test.
The round and heavy sphere is the most difficult to exert force, and it makes sense not only to complete the selection action, but also to use it as a selection item.
Among the four people who formed a team with Bai Yuqi, except for Yu Lian Yue, who yelled angrily and succeeded in danger, the remaining three all failed.
When it was Bai Yuqi's turn, he tried it, but found that it was not as heavy as he imagined, and it was estimated to be about 700 kilograms.
Because of the difference in weights and measures between the Great Wilderness and the Tang Dynasty.
Datang's "one stone" is about 62.5kg, while Dahuang's "one tantalum" is almost equivalent to 75.6kg.
In other words, the minimum basic condition for being selected as an auxiliary soldier is to be able to lift this stone ball weighing nine tantalum (680.4 kg).
Bai Yuqi pretended to be red-faced, and after barely lifting the stone ball to pass the selection, he was happily pulled into the team of passers, patting Bai Yuqi's shoulder vigorously and showing off to others, and the selection officer also looked at him in surprise.
After recovering to his adult form, Bai Yuqi, who has always maintained the image of a 20-year-old youth, has a slender figure, but his body with "warrior genes" does not look very strong.
Therefore, compared with the soldiers around me who have also passed the selection, they are extraordinarily slender compared to the soldiers with big shoulders and round waists and tiger backs.
Although the selection officer gave him a chance to try, he didn't have much hope for him at all, but he didn't expect him to be thin and thin, and his strength was not small, and he successfully passed the selection, no wonder it was surprising.
When the selection was over, the selection officers drove those who passed into a barracks like ducks.
Judging from the barracks, school yards and equipment in the barracks, it should be the place where these recruits will train in the next period of time.
The total population of Siye Province was only more than 80 million, and it almost did its best to resist the attack of Zhu Yang Kingdom.
He even had to frantically adopt a policy of "drawing one out of five" that would inevitably affect the future national strength.
It's not that the lord of Sino is willing to be so reckless, but it's really come to the point of life and death.
If he can't resist the attack of Zhu Yangguo and is driven into the national capital by the other party, it will be a catastrophe for the country, and he is still thinking about whether it will affect the future national strength and be able to overcome the current difficulties.
Suppose half of the population of the country is male.
Another 10 million people under the age of 14 and over the age of 50 will be excluded.
The remaining 30 million people can be drawn out of five to raise 6 million troops to participate in this war of annihilation.
It seems to be a huge number of troops, but in fact, it is not worth mentioning at all in this vast wilderness realm.
After all, even the small border country of the Gully Country, which makes a living by digging copper, has a population of 110 million.
And among these 6 million troops, less than 1 million can really be regarded as soldiers.
The rest are reckless men like Fei Lianyue, who can be regarded as having a lot of strength, but do not know the slightest combat skills, and the role they can play on the battlefield is extremely limited.
It can be seen how embarrassed the Siye State has been under the attack of the Zhu Yang State, and in the early stage of the war, it had to take precautions to select and train the gravity soldiers, and once the battle is lost, I am afraid that even those subordinates who are powerless will have to take advantage of it.
Such fears are not out of the question.
According to Bai Yuqi's observation, a baggage battalion has only 13,400 people, but less than one-tenth of them can meet the selection requirements.
That is to say, leaving aside the more than 5 million soldiers in addition to the official soldiers, only less than 500,000 reserves can be selected, and in this war that swept the entire terracotta plain, it is not even a small wave.
It may be that this is for priority selection, or it may be to concentrate resources on training new recruits.
When the war situation is eroded, the desperate lord of Siye, I'm afraid that even the pawns who have just been eliminated will have to be hastily trained, and they will rush to the battlefield to act as cannon fodder with a wooden stick, right?
Bai Yuqi shook his head, the so-called "prosperity, the people suffer;
Because of the inexplicable "year of great controversy" in the Great Wilderness Realm, there are some conventions and rules.
The war has so far been confined to the military, and has not spread to ordinary civilians.
So don't look at the fact that Sino has lost a few battles in the early stage, but the scope of the war has been limited to a certain range and has not spread to the people.
Although the two sides are fighting, the act of delineating the battlefield within a certain range is a bit like a fight.
But I have to say that this "rule" is a good thing for the common people, at least they will not be plundered and slaughtered by the routed army.
