Chapter 25 Persistence
Although the Blood Eagle Tribe is powerful, but the subordinate tribes under it have their own thoughts, except for the necessary annual protection fee has been relatively close to the offensive and defensive alliance, but the subordinate relationship between them is not very strong, many tribes may even break away from the rule of the Blood Eagle at any time, or launch a rebellion, but this is how the attack power of the barbarians has been weakened, so that the human race has a chance to recuperate.
"These short-sighted guys, one day, they will pay for their short-sightedness!"
100,000 grassland troops besieged Dagang Town, Qingshui Town and other three fortresses, for two months, can not be overcome, the time is like a scorching heat, the temperature has been as high as a day, under the three fortresses, although the camp of the grassland army still exists, but the war has not broken out for more than ten days.
The barbarians changed their strategy, the strong attack turned into a siege, the tribal alliance, the husky, and Namor were already stationed not far from the three fortresses, ready for a long-term siege, in addition to the army, more personnel came to the three fortresses, they brought a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock, grazing on the spot, in order to relieve the pressure on logistics. Since Ye Qing implemented the Fortified Clearing Wilderness in these three places, then the barbarians had no intention of sending troops deep into these three places, as long as Ye Qing was allowed to maintain this strategy of Clearing the Wilderness with Fortified Walls for a long time, hundreds of thousands of residents of the Three Places would become Ye Qing's burden. Eating, drinking, and sleeping for hundreds of thousands of people is not a simple problem.
So between Qin Wuling and the barbarians, a strange battle line was formed, Qin Wuling's new city probed far into the grassland, threatening the fundamental land of the barbarians, and on the front line of Dagang Town, the barbarian army was approaching the city, and both sides seemed to be very happy with such a stalemate.
The strategy of the barbarians is in Ye Qing's arms, Ye Qing is waiting, waiting for the latest batch of soldiers to be trained and grow into qualified soldiers, the weapons of ordinary soldiers also need time to build, and in addition to the fact that Qin Wuling still lacks civilian officials, and it will not be able to manage the expansion of the territory in the future, these things will take time to make up.
In the three towns on the first line of Dagang Town, nearly 300,000 people moved to the mainland, of course Ye Qing would not raise such a person in vain, it would make him eat down and drag him poor, so many people lived in the interior of Qin Wuling, if there was nothing to do, there would be countless incidents, so Qin Wuling's large number of plans were released one by one, and he began to build roads and water conservancy in the interior of Qin Wuling.
With Qin Wu leading the city as the heart, the galloping roads extending in all directions are all built at one time, and on the road to the counties, there is a hot scene everywhere, these people are basically the people who moved within the three counties, building roads, two meals a day, and you can get a few dollars of wages every day, and the wages are really less, but everyone knows that it is now wartime, and it is very good to have food and food, even if a few people are dissatisfied in their hearts, they do not dare to make trouble, because although the people who moved inward are still divided into districts according to the previous villages, but Qin Wuling has already issued an announcement that military management will be implemented in wartime, and it is necessary to lose his head at this time to make troubleγ
Since the stalemate in the war, Ye Qing returned to Qin Wuling City, the entire Qin Wuling, a thousand things are waiting for him to finally pat the shot, which makes his head a little big, he doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, and now he has nearly three million soldiers, even if the mountains of affairs make him realize the difficulty of being the boss, it is much more complicated to fight with the previous simple command of the army, and many things are involved in the whole body, and he has to deal with it carefully.
"Master Hou, after several months of construction, the roads leading Qin Wu Lingcheng to the cities are about to be completed. Wen Lao said happily. Compared with the previous Qin Wuling, there have been too many changes, just a galloping road extends in all directions, as the chief officer, such an achievement is enough for him to be proud of, you know, this is all built under his direct command, presumably the history books will inevitably leave a strong mark for him, the improvement of the road has led to the rapid development of Qin Wuling's economy, if you want to get rich, build the road first, what Hou Ye said before is really incisive! Now Qin Wuling no longer needs to worry about transportation, the distance of the previous two days is now shortened to less than one day, it is these poor and remote places, which are also connected by the gallop, so to speak, the current Qin Wuling has no dead ends.
The post station was built, every hundred miles, there was a post station, each post station not only provided food and lodging, but also carefully fed more than a dozen good horses, any place what happened, can be in the shortest possible time to feedback the situation to the Hou Ye's house. Of course, there was another dispute over the ownership of the post station within Qin Wuling, and in the end, it was Jinyiwei who had the upper hand and ordered all the post stations to be "returned to Jinyiwei."
"After the road is repaired, the water conservancy will be built!" Ye Qing said with a smile: "Let the ditches extend in all directions, Lord Lu, the construction of these ditches can be done once and for all, don't build it with a genius, and next year it will be repaired, and it will cost the people and money, so it is better to repair him at one time." β
Wen Lao nodded and said: "Hou Ye is right, water conservancy is currently in the regulation", but Hou Ye, water conservancy is a huge project compared to roads, which also involves the construction of large reservoirs, which requires more funds. β
"Is there a problem with the funds?" Ye Qing asked with concern, money has now become the lifeblood of the order, whether it is the start of these projects, or the hundreds of thousands of people who have moved inward, the daily expenditure is tens of thousands of money, once there is a problem with the funds, then the matter will be big.
"No problem. Wen Lao said categorically: "The residents who moved inward imitated what we did in Qingyun City, organized camps and military management, and provided food and supplies, although they were not rich, but they would not provoke any popular uprising, these people, whether they were young or strong, old and weak, women and children, had food to eat, something to do, and school, compared with a few years ago, I don't know how many times better, which greatly relieved our pressure." The caravan's trade route is now completely opened, and a large amount of silver money flows into Dingzhi every day, and besides, Yangcheng!" Wen Lao coughed dryly, looked at the people present, and said with some embarrassment: "It's not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily gold fight!"
"Although it is not the right way, but the current situation can also alleviate our temporary difficulties!" Ye Qing said with a smile, "When the war is over, let's adjust slowly!"
Turning his head to look at Ling Zheng, "Mr. Ling, what is the income of the craftsman camp over there?"
Ling Zheng said with a smile: "The craftsman battalion is now fully supplying its own army, and the ordnance has basically stopped being sold to the outside world, but some livelihood supplies are still on sale, so it's better than nothing." The matter of money has to be borne by Wen Lao! But looking at the current state of Lao Lu, he should still have plenty of money in his pocket, otherwise what we see now should be a bitter gourd face. β
Everyone laughed.
Ye Qing turned his face to Fu Bo, "Is there any new situation over there in Jinyiwei?"
Fauber opened the file in front of him and said, " According to the information sent back by Xuancheng, now the Xiao family has basically controlled the defense of the entire Xuancheng, which means that Xuancheng has fallen into the hands of the Xiao family, and the attitude of several territories near Xuancheng is also very ambiguous, and the Xiao family has dealings with either open or secret, all the forces in Xuancheng's underground intelligence network have begun to feel a lot of pressure for a period of time, and have to shrink, I suspect that the Xiao family must have some big moves to unfold, but now, we don't know what they want to do?"
Ye Qing sighed, "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, right now we are too busy to take care of ourselves, but when we defeat the barbarians, let's go back and deal with these things! β
Standing up, Ye Qing said: "Do our own thing, defeat the barbarians, and run the Qin military collar well, no matter what some people want to do, but at that time, in front of our powerful army, all the conspiracies and tricks will be floating clouds, and they will disperse as soon as the wind passes!"
In August, it has entered the end of midsummer, and at this time in Shahe Town, Dingzhou, the war is in a stalemate, and the warring sides are fighting desperately on the frontal battlefield that is dozens of miles long, and the blood is flowing like a river. Shahe Town's defense system has been cut off a thick layer, and the battle is gradually approaching Shahe Town, the core of Qin Wuling's defense system, and there is also where Ye Qing is stationed.
As the commander-in-chief, Ye Qing has already released all the chips in his hand, and Seinfeld's more than 20 infantry troops have been reduced by a quarter after nearly a month of fighting, but fortunately, most of the losses are the garrison soldiers who came to the battlefield for trials, and the 100,000 troops that exist as regular troops have not suffered much losses.
Although the losses of the garrison soldiers are large, the effect is also very obvious, at least the group of garrison soldiers who have experienced the battlefield, and now the performance on the battlefield is not much inferior to that of the regular army, and over time, Ye Qing will have an additional group of good fighters in his hands.
Wang Feng and Qin Fei's cavalry were not only tasked with counter-attacking, but also had to attack each other from the flanks from time to time, and the losses of the two major cavalry groups were also increasingly heavy after most of the Blood Eagle Standing Army arrived.
At this time, there were only 10,000 personal guards left by Ye Qing's side, looking at the sand table in front of him, Ye Qing frowned, he had already released the winning hand, and all he could do now was to persist and wait. He believed that the barbarians on the other side were also exhausted, and that their logistics were almost crumbling compared to him.
Ye Qing believes that it is difficult on his side, and even more so on the barbarian side, as long as he survives this difficult time, he does not have to worry about the barbarians, after all, after these months of training, the integration and cultivation of the million regular army in his hands has been completed, that is, the two million garrison soldiers, all of them have been put on the battlefield for trial, although the field ability is still to be discussed, but the defense is enough.
