Needless to say, the first level is the same as before, but it is no longer an absolute factor.

In fact, the ancients did not ignore the length of time in the army, generally the soldiers who have been in the army for a long time and have made meritorious contributions have the opportunity to become generals, this kind of generals who started from the end of the micro are not a few, even Li Xinchen and Xiao Maha can be counted.

It's just that when calculating military exploits, military experience is generally difficult to quantify. According to Li Xinchen's assumption, soldiers who have been in the army for a long time and have experienced more major battles have the opportunity to be rewarded first, and at the same time, according to the battles they have participated in, the corresponding multiplier will be multiplied when calculating their merits to commend them for their bloody battles in this war.

After all, many people did not get the head, in many cases it was not because they were not strong enough or had been retreating, but because the advancing queue did not allow them to have time to cut off the enemy's head, or the difficult terrain made them move more cumbersome after carrying the head, especially in the previous battle of Cangxi Valley, the form of guerrilla warfare made many soldiers have no time to obtain the head at all, and it was also at that time that Li Xinchen had the form of reforming the reward method, And the rewards for meritorious deeds after that war were not completely based on the first rank - because the soldiers did not get many heads, and relying solely on the number of heads, this battle was equivalent to not fighting.

Therefore, Li Xinchen urgently needed a method that could quantify the time spent in the army, instead of the simple first-level calculation of meritorious service.

In addition, it goes without saying that the outstanding combat behavior is naturally among them, taking the lead in charging, taking the lead and so on, if there is this kind of behavior, it should have been worthy of praise and encouragement before, and now Li Xinchen also wants to integrate it into the entire military merit system, so that the calculation of military merit is simpler and can be coordinated, and the calculation of military merit is more diversified.

After all, Li Xinchen didn't want to watch the soldiers under his command mess up the entire formation every time because of the competition for the first rank, or die in battle because they didn't have time to cut off the head, and finally the wife and children at home could not be taken care of.

At present, the treasury of Bashu is not sufficient, and there is no way to give compensation to every soldier who died in battle, but as long as there is more or less military merit, no matter what form it is, then Li Xinchen does not mind allocating enough funds.

After all, this way of calculating merit is already very relaxed, and there is no way to even meet such conditions, which can only show that this soldier still has certain problems in combat, and evasion and cowardice are very possible.

Li Xinchen is not charitable, he doesn't need such subordinates. Anyway, the existing rules of this era are like this, and all Li Xinchen can do now is to improve as much as possible, and there is no way to change everything, which will only make Li Xinchen die miserably, and Wang Mang at the beginning is a good example.

"The army passed through Dunsay on the same day and attacked the city of Fan. Cheng Feng! ”

"The last general!" Cheng Feng hurriedly responded.

"You take the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to Lumen Mountain," Li Xinchen ordered in a deep voice, "This time Sun Qun, who surrendered to Cheng, also brought him, and he must know more about the situation in Lumen Mountain than we do." As for the army, it will be handed over to Zidong, and Fancheng will be surrounded first, and there is no need to attack in a hurry. ”

"No!" Cheng Feng and Dai Cai answered together.

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, Fancheng was in his bag, so he didn't care about this moment, it was also a good thing for the army to stop and trim and take a breath, after all, Li Xinchen still had to wait for Pei Zilie, and there must be no Dunse in Longzhong to deal with.

And what really worries Li Xinchen ······

His gaze lingered for a long time in the direction he had come.

Hanzhong, Yangpingguan.

————————————-

Compared with Li Xinchen's sweeping all the way after breaking through Dingjun Mountain, as if entering a no-man's land, Xiao Shilian under Yangping Pass is obviously not so high-spirited.

Yangping Pass is Yangping Pass in the end, although this pass standing between the towering Qinling Mountains seems to be only a small pass, but it is such a pass, which has made Xiao Shilian pay a heavy price, nearly one-third of his subordinates were killed and wounded, which is a rare tragedy since Xiao Shilian joined the army, and more importantly, behind this tragedy is Yangping Pass is still standing there.

A new batch of thunderbolts had arrived at Yangping Pass, but the narrow pass was just shrunk between the two mountains, and there was not much open space that could be spread out in front of the pass, so more stone bullets could only be poured on the cottages on both sides to vent their anger.

On both sides of the hill Han Baohu have arranged a camp, because of the condescending reason, here is also the beginning of Xiao Shilian focused on the place to fight, after the two sides again and again tug-of-war, these cottages have long been dilapidated, the Bashu army has rushed to the top of the mountain again and again, but was soon repelled by the counterattack organized by Han Baohu, after several tug-of-wars, these cottages have been dilapidated, but the Northern Zhou army is still in it.

This also made Xiao Shilian helpless, but at least the goal of making these cottages lose their offensive ability was achieved, so that the Bashu army did not need to face enemies in three directions all the time.

After these days of war, Xiao Shilian had to admit that these elites under Wei Xiaokuan's command were really not blown, and their strength was indeed strong enough.

"General, it's already the fifteenth day," Tang Zhong slowly walked to the hillside, "Our food, grass and equipment are a little insufficient. ”

Not far away, outside the wall, a tragic attack has just come to an end, the Bashu army has dropped hundreds of corpses and full of arrows, and the moat that has been almost filled in has once again been stirred into the color of mud, and the red dots of blood render the water surface.

A Bashu soldier in white clothes was cleaning the battlefield, this was a tacit understanding between Xiao Shilian and Han Baohu, and even Han Baohu didn't mind helping Xiao Shilian throw the corpses of the Bashu soldiers on the city for the Bashu army to collect.

Now that the weather is not completely cold, these corpses are directly stored on the battlefield is a huge threat to both the attacking and defending sides, especially since the attacking side can retreat, but the defenders defending the city have nowhere to go.

Throughout the ages, plague has been a topic that people have avoided and retreated, and Xiao Shilian and Han Baohu certainly didn't want to give their entire army an account here.

Watching the corpses being transported over, and a famous soldier was carefully sorting out the remains of these sacrificial robes, Xiao Shilian sighed lowly. One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and before this Yangping Pass, the Bashu army has shed too much blood.

Even Tang Zhong, who has always been brave in battle and dares to fight, is already a little weak when he speaks at this time, and the bloody battle of the day obviously exhausted him, not to mention, the stalemate in the current battle situation makes him not know whether there is any possibility of victory in this battle.

This problem obviously also bothered every lieutenant general and soldier, especially when Li Xinchen was advancing wildly on the southern front, these soldiers were even more drumming in their hearts.

Could it be that they are just bait, or that the purpose of their existence is to sacrifice here?
