Chapter 162: An Explanation
South Ha Province, South Huai Province, and North River Province once received arms from Dugi Province, and after the coalition forces were defeated, they purchased a large amount of weapons and ammunition from Dugi Province, and their strength was strengthened to a certain extent. Taking advantage of the defeat of the coalition forces and the emptiness of the rear forces, they regained a large area of territory.
However, without a strong backing, it is difficult to improve the quality of the army, and it is okay to deal with the garrison troops of the coalition army, but it is impossible to resist the main force of the coalition army that is making a comeback.
After several years of war baptism and learning from the experience of Togi Province, these veterans of a hundred battles have also learned wisely and come up with a way to offset the difference in strength with space. The territory conquered by the coalition forces must always be garrisoned by troops, and those garrisons are their dishes.
The situation in Shannan East Province and Hedong Province, which have not experienced the war, is very unbearable. The rotten system has created a number of rotten armies.
Although under the emperor's order, the army is also desperately resisting, but it is vulnerable. If it weren't for the lack of strength of the coalition forces, these two daos would have fallen into the hands of the coalition forces long ago.
The war was fought like this, the Tang Emperor's face could not be hung up, since the start of the war, it was not the regular army of the empire that could win the war, but some ragtag armies that were temporarily pulled up.
For this reason, the Tang Emperor waved his imperial power to continue to expand the scope of Xulian, and at the same time ordered that the country's masters be recruited to join the army to resist the invasion.
On the side of Dugi Province, the emperor did not let it go, and he was still the military counselor who came last time. The coalition forces attacked in a big way, and even the Tong that the empire had been operating for many years? The pass was not blocked, but there was no war in Dugi Province, which shows the strength of the Dugi army, and the Tang Emperor could not let such an army idle.
The coalition forces are about to reach the imperial capital, and the emperor's influence on Dugi Province has been reduced to a minimum.
Although after the war, Toki Province met the established clean-up requirements of the imperial family, but it was somewhat excessive, and the imperial power was no longer available here. Because of the appearance of Yi Fei, a powerful army that was not under the control of the emperor appeared.
The Qin Cha brought a large number of rewards, as well as a large number of titles, Du Ji's position has not changed, and the emperor also knows that it is impossible for this chief to be replaced.
The last time he was rewarded, the emperor promoted the chief of staff to the deputy chief, and now he can't be promoted, because the deputy chief is also from a flat-headed commoner, and before the war, he was just a cloth cloth, and he was a teacher.
Yi Fei nominally got some benefits, his position as the commander of the army was recognized by the empire, and the army became the emperor's ** establishment, and the soldiers could enjoy the full state salary.
Unfortunately, the Chin Cha brought a bounty, and the military salary had to be drawn from the taxes of Togi Province. Fortunately, there is a deputy governor who manages the political affairs of Togi Province in an orderly manner; The post-war reconstruction, which was carried out very smoothly because of the presence of more than a million prisoners; The coalition forces did not dare to enter the country, and the prosperity of Tugi Province was just around the corner, and it was more than enough to feed hundreds of thousands of troops.
Qin sent here, not only to win over the Dugi army, the emperor ** was defeated on the battlefield, and the Dugi army, a team that has created brilliant records, should also be pulled out to bask in the sun.
After the edict was read, the emperor opened the emperor's secret edict, demanding that the Dugi army immediately march westward and cut off the back route of the coalition army.
Du Ji accepted the emperor's reward without shame, but it was impossible to send troops to fight.
The province was attacked by nearly two million coalition troops, and the Dugi army resisted desperately and finally defeated the enemy. But even though it was victorious, it was also a victory, and the destruction of Dugi Province was about to run out of food, and the army was not even one out of ten.
The newly formed army, although it seems to be larger, is all one-color recruits. The vast majority of them have never been on the battlefield, and such an army is vastly different from the previous Dugi army.
In order to confirm his words, Du Ji personally took the Qincha and randomly inspected several military camps. Having just been transformed from a reserve to a regular army, the recruits of the Togi Army have not undergone a few days of training.
Seeing the Dugi army with a loose queue, Qin Cha was very skeptical, whether such an army had combat effectiveness! It seems that after the victory of the Dugi army, it did pay a heavy price.
The emperor couldn't help but give face, and Du Ji swore that although the current situation of the Dugi army was not good, in order to cooperate with the war in Gyeonggi Province, he was willing to transfer the troops to Tong? off, deterring the back of the coalition forces.
The Dugi Army, which has advanced weapons in one color, is on its way to Tong? On the way to pass, even the marching army column could not be walked well, and Lord Qincha was worried.
Du Ji was very optimistic, "My lord, don't look at them as lazy and lazy, but when they go to the battlefield, they definitely dare to fight hard, and the coalition forces are frightened by our spirit of not being afraid of death, and now they don't dare to trouble us." ”
Qin Cha slandered, the coalition army was scared, but the current Dugi army is not the previous army with strong combat power, if it really does it, it will not be bad if it is not a thousand miles away.
Qin Cha didn't know the imperial family's plan, and the news he brought back made the emperor breathe a sigh of relief, and the strength of the Dugi army was weakened, which the official emperor wanted to see.
The advance of the front of the Togi Army has already threatened the rear of the Dao Coalition Army, and the Coalition Army Headquarters immediately held a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
The coalition army's offensive during this period of time bypassed Dugi Province, and they thought that the two sides would be safe, but the Dugi army put on an offensive posture, and the coalition army had to defend.
After discussion, the coalition forces transferred part of the army attacking Gyeonggi Province to prevent the surprise attack of the Dugi army.
The number of coalition forces confronting the Dugi army is not large, and it is comparable to the size of the Dugi army. It was not that the coalition looked down on the Dugi army, but that the masters of the coalition gave them confidence.
The previous records of Togi Province were all achieved with the help of masters. As long as they leave Dugi Dao and support the beast cultivation of the Dugi army, even if they come along, there will be alliance masters to deal with.
Without the support of the masters, the Dugi army wants to defeat the coalition army, which is a dream. The Beastmaster only restricted the masters of the Eight-Nation Alliance from entering Dugi Dao, but he didn't care that they fought to the death outside Dugi Dao.
Although it was analyzed that the Tugi army would not attack, the coalition forces still did not dare to take it lightly and kept in wait. Fortunately, the Dugi army only put on a posture and had no intention of attacking.
Intelligence from Xijing confirmed that Dugi Dao's actions were nothing more than a response to the Tang Emperor's conscription. After the last battle, the strength of the Dugi army has dropped so much that it is not capable of fighting at all.
In fact, as judged by the coalition forces, the Togi army is still in the territory of Dogi Province, but it is only half a day's distance from Gyeonggi Province. pinned down 300,000 coalition troops, and also gave an account to the emperor. (To be continued.) )
