It is not an overnight thing to awaken a nation's dormant blood and sense of nationhood. The Jin Xuedi people have long practiced cultural deprivation and high-pressure rule over the descendants of the Central Plains, and there is little sense of identity left for the descendants of the Central Plains culture.

To awaken their will to resist, it is necessary to break the rule of the Jinshedi, shake the foundations of their suppression of the rebellion, and fight an invincible army, so that the tyrannical rule of the Jinshedi will be plunged into an endless ocean of rage, and even more large-scale riots must be provoked until the Jinshedi war machine is brought down.

The information that has been obtained one after another can be glimpsed, Jin Xuedi directly invested more than 1.6 million combat troops in Qianyue Mountain, which is unprecedented in history, and the regular army that can be mobilized in his own territory is not too many, more are auxiliary soldiers, and the agricultural and economic potential also determines the total number of soldiers he can afford.

In last night's battle, most of the people who could see that the auxiliary troops of the Jinxuedi people were much inferior to the regular army, the application of tactical tactics was seriously lacking, and the training was so-so, not to mention that the equipment was far inferior to the regular army, and it was still possible to hold out behind enemy lines for a long time.

Su Hong quickly handed over the rations and forage, and the Xian army still had more than enough unicorn horses, as well as spare time to carry the wounded, arrows, torches, clothing, and other military supplies.

In the afternoon, the Xian army marched out of the city without lingering at once, so as not to have too many dreams at night, and then marched eastward, preparing to attack another fortress under construction by the Jinxuedi people three hundred miles away.

Seeing Xianjun leaving, Qian Xiasheng couldn't help but say suspiciously:

"Kong Hua, it's going to be dark in another hour, why are they leaving?"

"Fuck it, it's better to go."

"So what do we do?" Qian Xiasheng asked.

"Eat and drink for a few days to recuperate, here is not close to Posong Province, there are five or six hundred miles of road, last night the white-haired thieves fled to the north, how to take three or five days to detour to Posong City, there is no food or drink along the way, three or five days is difficult to say.

When the defenders of Posong Province come to kill, it will take six or seven days on the road. One comes and goes, let alone ten days. Let's eat and drink to our heart's content, and then drag people into the mountains and fuck these white-haired thieves. ”

"But why are they going east, Jiang Gui and they seem to be building roads in the east! Isn't this self-defeating? ”

"That's not right, lest there be interceptions in the future and chasing soldiers after the front, let them go around blindly and fight with Jiang Gui and their white-haired thieves."

Kong Hua said disapprovingly, and continued to eat and drink what he should eat.

Walking on the way east, Jiang Jie complained with a cloak:

"General, how long will we be in a cloak, like a ghost?"

"When the Jin Xuedi people see through us, when they will put their hair up again, we must continue to confuse them now."

"Oh...... The general really had a far-sighted plan, and these descendants of the Central Plains had indeed not discovered that our army was from the Central Plains. ”

"It's not that they haven't found out, some of them have already discovered our differences, but they didn't expect that we would travel thousands of miles to get here. I pondered that if the Jinxuedi people in the south did not notice that our army was moving south, the local Jinxuedi people would at first mistake our army for a rabble, which would be extremely beneficial to our army's maneuvering in the local area. As for the future, it will only depend on the situation. ”

"Since our army wants to deal with the Jin Xuedi people, why do we have to leave so many women and Jin Xuedi people, isn't it a burden?"

"It's a burden, but it's also human."

"The subordinates don't understand. But his subordinates knew that if he brought more women in the long run, the battle would be a big disaster in the future. ”

"Yes, there is such a possibility, but if they are abandoned, most of them will not end up well. You are still young, you know little about human nature, and you will understand it in the future! ”

After doing so, Bai Liyan convened a meeting of all the existing military attachés above the rank of commander to break up the original structure and reorganize it. Whether it was bandits, Guangxin Army, Forbidden Army or Garrison Army, Foreign People, and Patriotic People's Army, they were all integrated, and at the same time, a large number of veterans were promoted to military attachés.

The so-called veterans are all veterans with a lot of experience in a hundred battles, not very old soldiers. Most of them are only in their thirties, and they have even survived several battles, and those who have martial arts and strong organization and leadership can be old soldiers in their teens and twenties, and there are really few old soldiers who can live until they are forty or fifty years old.

With the current military system of the vassal states, it is difficult for these veterans to have a chance not to be promoted. Even if the Xian Army is organized and trained with armed battalions, it cannot completely solve the problem of resettlement reserves for veterans, and reserve officers and reserve officers are undoubtedly an important way to solve the problem of resettlement of veterans.

The next day, the Xian army continued its march in the morning and camped in the afternoon. With the cooperation and persuasion of Fang Liang and others, the new Ding was reorganized on the spot. Including Fang Liang and others, there were more than 3,600 new vassals, of which more than 360 were women, and the rest were young and strong.

Bai Liyan promoted some small leaders, selected 2,500 new subordinates for reorganization, and at the same time incorporated more than 300 middle and low-level military attaches and veterans of the Xian army, and set up a 100-man contingent of the Xian army for every 400 new subordinates, so as to deter the new subordinates, and at the same time use the old to lead the new ones and reorganize the training as soon as possible.

Including the wounded, Bailiyan still retained more than 1,200 elites, and more than 500 reserve military attaches and veterans, so as to suppress the rebellion of the new vassal people that might arise at any time.

According to Fang Liang's confession, the recruitment of labor by the Jin Xuedi people was carried out on a village-by-village basis, and of course, the same was true in the Central Plains.

The only difference is that Jin Xuedi constantly creates contradictions between the villages in order to counterbalance the rebellion of the Central Plains descendants. The most common method is to deliberately elevate the status of individual villages, and suppress other villages, pull one side to squeeze the other, and artificially create hierarchical distinctions and superiority, so as to make the Central Plains people hate each other and create contradictions.

This phenomenon was common among the new vassals who defected to the Xian army, and in order to avoid clashes and retaliation from other villagers, they had to leave the group and join the Xian army.

The weapons captured this time were not enough to equip the new 2,500 men, only half of them, and the rest were bare-handed, especially in armor.

The appointment and dismissal of the new chief general was also tricky, Bai Liyan intended to make Fang Liang the commander of the left capital, and Sikong Nan was temporarily appointed as the Sima envoy, but the new vassals elected a thirty-two-year-old man named Feng Ming as the leader.

With the current situation, it was obvious that it could not be suppressed, so the new battalion had to be divided into two, Fang Liang led a thousand people, and still served as the captain of Zuodu, and Sikong Nan temporarily served as Fang Liang's Sima envoy. Feng Ming was appointed as the commander of the left capital, and Su Hong was temporarily appointed as the Sima envoy, leading 1,500 people.

Sima envoys supervised the army, but rarely set up this position under the left and right governors, after all, the commanders brought a maximum of 2,000 people, and it was obviously unreasonable to set up a supervision army. But in extraordinary times, extraordinary means should be used.

Bailiyan did not plan to rush to attack the city of Saijin Xuedi that was being built in the east, and the day after parting ways with Kong Hua, Qian Xiasheng and others, the army turned to the northwest and trained as they went.

The simple rush of the queue can also train the discipline, organization, coordination, and obedience of the team, and the temperament of the army can all be cultivated through the queue training, and quickly turn an ordinary person into the characteristics of a soldier.

Time passed day by day, the new city fortress was attacked, and the news of the Minfu rebellion spread to Posong Province five days later, and on the seventh day, 40,000 infantry cavalry were gathered and marched east to defeat Kong Hua, Qian Xiasheng and others.

On the third day of the parting of the ways of the Xian army, more than 2,000 people ran away in three days, and only 15,000 were left on the fifth day. But Kong Hua is still optimistic, because there are no longer so many people who eat food every day. On the other hand, after timely training, no one in the Xian army deserted.

At dusk that day, the scouts sent by Bailiyan returned to the camp and brought important news:

"General Qiyu, our army has built a road in the east, and the barbarian army seems to have signs of attacking the Huasuo Department in the west."

"Oh, do you know how many men they're going to send?"

"Five thousand or six thousand, and now all the people from outside the city have been driven into the city, so that they can be kept under centralized care."

"So, all the people who stayed in the city were crossbowmen?"

"Yes, the crossbowmen are all at the head of the city."

Through the interrogation of the Jin Xuedi craftsmen, it was learned that the two fortresses that the Jin Xuedi people were building were built for the migration of people from the Guannai in the future. Not only the western route is being built, but also the middle route and the eastern route are being built. There were 20,000 to 30,000 men and 5,000 to 8,000 defenders at each site. The fortress where Baili Yan sent people to reconnoiter gathered 30,000 people and 8,000 defenders.

The defenders must have received an order to hurry up the horses in Posongcheng's detour to other places, and sent troops to attack Kong Hua and Qian Xiasheng's headquarters. So they encircled all the men of the camp outside the city into the city and guarded them with crossbowmen.

Bai Liyan had always wondered why the Jin Xuedi people issued crossbows to the auxiliary soldiers, because the crossbows they made were really lame and extremely bulky, and their range and power were really unsatisfactory, only equivalent to the level of the most ordinary crossbows in the Central Plains.

Later, when the craftsmen of the Jinxuedi people were interrogated, it was learned that their equipment was given priority to the regular legions, followed by the local auxiliary legions, and finally the auxiliary soldiers. An auxiliary corps is a legion trained by auxiliaries, equivalent to a reserve or militia, equipped with a light bow, a hard bow, and a small number of crossbows.

The main task of the auxiliary troops was to maintain law and order and suppress small-scale rebellions, and the people of the Central Plains did not even have armor except kitchen knives and farm tools. The damage caused by the bow and arrow is not as good as that of the crossbow, and the lethality of the armor, heavy armor, and iron armor is not considerable, and it is often pierced into a hedgehog, and it can still fight, but the power of the crossbow is very good.

The combat mission of the auxiliary forces determined that the crossbow was more suitable for suppressing small rebellions, and for the unarmored rebels, the crossbow arrow was almost a mortal weapon, and the penetration force was extremely strong, even hiding behind the haystack plank, it was difficult to resist.

If it is a light bow or a hard bow, the blocking rate of planks and haystacks is very high, so most crossbows are equipped with auxiliaries, and a small number of light bows and hard bows are also equipped.

Before the northern expedition of the Jin Xuedi people, most of the time the regular main army that did not expand was responsible for suppressing the resistance, and after the northern expedition of the main army, the security was transferred to the temporary expansion of the auxiliary army and auxiliary soldiers, this period of time was as short as two or three years, and more than five or six years, in general, the proportion was not very long, and the equipment of the crossbow just filled the armament space during this period.
