When Fang Li found a very strange note from that Xianxin, Fang Li thought for a moment and left immediately. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The churning and roaring Black Sea gradually fell silent after everyone had left, and although there were still some people who wanted to come here to find something valuable, it was mostly in vain.

However, unlike the Black Sea, which has calmed down, the Qingyin Pass has been very lively in recent days.

Not a celebration, but a war!

When Fang Li left from the Qing Ying Pass, the strength of the defenders in the Qing Ying Pass had skyrocketed, and now the offensive and defensive forces of the two sides were basically equal, and even if Crimson had the upper hand in the strength of the main general, it was still possible to find a person who could contain the other party from the Qing Ying Pass.

In the past two or three months, the battlefield of Qingyingguan has returned to daily battles, almost all of them are fought for two days and stopped for three days, both sides know that it is not easy to defeat each other, and the scale of the battle has gradually decreased, and it is mainly based on temptation.

Today I thought of a way to sneak attack, and after I didn't succeed, I felt like I lost face, and I would have a bigger one tomorrow. Under the strict defense of the Qingying Pass, Crimson and the others did not take any advantage, but because the strength of the two sides was almost balanced, now the Qingying Pass can be opened frequently, and occasionally the cavalry will go out of the city to fight the autumn wind, and then return to the city to close the city gate without waiting for the other party to react.

Although there are not many casualties, it is better to be safe and able to harass the other party.

In this way, the two sides fought dozens of battles on a daily basis, and even if the intensity was not high, tens of thousands of people died in the city on both sides during this time.

But the changes are also very obvious, the Doro Empire is just that, the perennial battles make the Doro Empire's troops can be regarded as habitual soldiers, but the Chang'an Empire is different. Although there are more than 400,000 troops under the continuous increase in troops, the only veterans who can really be regarded as veterans who have seen blood are the original 100,000 defenders of Qingying Pass, and most of the more than 300,000 people who came here to reinforce later can only be regarded as county soldiers.

The county soldier is a compromise, a kind of non-full professional soldier, and there are only two things that a border army like the Qingyingguan Garrison has to do every day, one is to train, the other is to prepare for battle, and it is to stick to it at all times without holidays. The county soldiers spend one-half to two-thirds of the year training, and what they have to do in normal times is to tuntian. It's not just farming, it's even mining and things like that.

Although the strength of the county soldiers is not as good as that of the border soldiers due to the lack of training time, the actual physical fitness is not much different, and the only difference is that they cannot prepare for war all year round and lack some momentum. However, the county soldiers are also a complete system, not the kind of idle people, whether it is military discipline or training, it is enough. And the biggest advantage is that the county soldiers save money, you must know that in the Chang'an Empire, only all the expenses of the border soldiers are responsible for the empire, and the county soldiers empire only gives the number of regulations and necessary weapons and armor, and all food and salary are borne by the states and counties themselves.

In fact, it doesn't cost much money, because in ordinary times, these soldiers carry out work such as tuntian and mining is a kind of output in itself, and the income is also a lot, but because of this reason, there is a big gap in the strength of the county soldiers in various states, and in some places, in order to pay less or even make money, the training time of the county soldiers cannot keep up at all.

And the worst of the standing soldiers in the empire are the tuntian soldiers, who can be regarded as a little more professional than the militia. Similar to the county soldiers, it's just that the county soldiers are mainly training, and the tuntian soldiers are mainly tuntian, these people will not go to the battlefield unless they are accidental, and these people are also sent to the battlefield to send people to the head, if it is an ordinary battle, you can also play soy sauce and wave the flag or something.

If it is a tough battle just head-on, under normal circumstances, 10,000 integrated border soldiers elite can defeat 30,000 to 50,000 county soldiers, and in the face of Tuntian soldiers, the opponent can also defeat 100,000 soldiers, and even if there is no excellent general to command, even if it is a million people, it is a plate of scattered sand.

Having said that, it is difficult for the Tuntian soldiers to really become elite soldiers, but it is not difficult for the county soldiers to become elites, as long as they experience more battles and truly see the experience of blood and fire, they are naturally elites who can survive. And during this period of offensive and defensive warfare, although the Chang'an Empire had a natural danger, the battle loss ratio between the two sides was very tight.

Although it is said that most of the dead are county soldiers, there is no lack of acquiescence from high-level generals such as Xianzhi, they need elite soldiers, because their intuition tells them that this battle will not end easily, even if they pay a certain price, they must let these county soldiers get considerable combat effectiveness, at least they can carry the front line for a period of time, rather than collapse at the touch of a button.

In this way, sacrifice is inevitable for the victory of the big goal, although some people will sacrifice because of this, but in the general's heart, this is not a sad thing. It's not that the generals are cold-blooded, but that's how war is the rule. In wars where countries are ruined and families change hands at every turn, any individual unit can be sacrificed, as long as their sacrifice is valuable, then everything is not a problem.

The so-called good is not in charge of money, and kindness is not in charge of soldiers, what is needed is not a ruthless bad person, but the kind that can remain calm at any time and choose the lesser of two evils. And the most common thing that generals face is death, if rational judgment is affected because of the momentary kindness, then the final price must be far greater than they imagined.

So it's not that they are impersonal, but in order for more people to live, they must completely hide the sadness in their hearts, and iron blood and fortitude are the expressions that can make everyone feel at ease.

Even if everyone understood this matter, the atmosphere in the Qingyingguan General's Mansion today was not as harmonious as imagined.

"Hmmm......"

A thin sheet of paper was circulated back and forth among the crowds, and everyone who read it had a heavy look on their faces.

The person who sat at the top of the table was unexpectedly not the imaginary general, but the dedication. It stands to reason that after Fang Li left here, the Chang'an Empire should send generals who thought it was of sufficient weight, or directly appoint Taibai Jushi as the chief general of Qingyingguan. But no, now in the Qingyin Pass, under the push of the Taibai monks, he temporarily became the main general.

Xianzhi, who was sitting in the first place, knew what was going on today, and he had already read the content of that piece of paper, it was Feng Ao who came from Chang'an, and the recipient himself was Gu Haotian, but now only Xianzhi presided over it.

"What do you think?"

Seeing that everyone had finished reading the letter, Xianzhi asked everyone. There aren't many people sitting here today, not all the power in the entire Qing Hades Pass, but it is true that all the power that can be trusted, and all the people who can believe in their loyalty to the Empire.

A general in the early stage of the Yuan Realm saw that no one spoke, so he raised his hand and said: "Marshal, I don't understand the content of the letter, but I know that guarding the Qingyin Pass is our first priority, as long as people are in the city!

"Good guys!"

Xianzhi saw that this person who usually doesn't speak opened his mouth is this tone, and suddenly applauded secretly in his heart, what a good support.

The reason why Xianzhi is so happy is only because of that letter, a one-sentence letter.

"Don't move! Sit and watch the wind and clouds! Defend the land and defend the frontier!"
