In other words, in just one day, more than 2,000 Liao soldiers were killed in the battle, and this does not include the more than 2,000 Liao soldiers who were wounded by arrows.

In just one day, the army lost fifty percent of its combat effectiveness. What's even more hateful is that they didn't bring any casualties to the dragon army, the only thing is to consume a lot of arrows from the other side.

Faced with this result, Gai Zhaoyin didn't know how to go back and deal with General Yelurenxian. But at this point, there was no way to hide, so the soldiers who had to fall into a trough with morale and disgraced returned to Liaoyang City.

The Liao soldiers retreated, and there were bursts of cheers from the watchtower, followed by new equipment, water sources and soldiers into the watchtower for a change of guard.

The soldiers who came out of the watchtower were elated one by one, and after experiencing the baptism of war, these soldiers would become real peasant soldiers, and the word "helper" in front would be removed, and their lives would take a big step forward.

Yes, in each watchtower, except for one veteran (KPA regular soldier), the other 29 people are all peasant soldiers.

belongs to the kind of people who have not fought any battles, and even some people were just ordinary peasant youths a few days ago.

After a short period of bow and arrow training, they were stationed in the watchtower. Su Shi has always believed that the real elite soldiers are not trained, but fought. Just like a big wave of sand, only after experiencing countless bloody battles can soldiers grow rapidly, reach the evolution from soldiers to generals, and become the real elite.

The foundation of the Dragon Empire is too shallow, and Su Shi doesn't have time for them to train and develop slowly. What is adopted is the method of training troops in battle. Those who pass the test are naturally the most elite, and sending them to the battlefield in the future will not only win the battle, but the loss will not be too great.

If you can't even accept this battle, you can't be a good soldier. Such people, even if they are scared, frightened, and discharged after the war, Su Shi will not regret it, which at least proves that they are not this material, that is to go to other industries to shine, and don't waste limited time on things that they can't do at all.

Even if he dies, Su Shi has a high pension system waiting there, so that the hero will not die in vain.

Among the towers, out of a lot of peasant soldiers who have removed the auxiliary word, followed by a lot of peasant soldiers with the auxiliary word, they will become the next batch of tested, test the heart, character and courage, and finally determine whether they are really suitable to be soldiers, whether they can win glory for the Dragon Empire in the future.

It was the peasant soldiers of the Dragon Empire who defeated the elite of the Liao army?

Gai Zhaoyin didn't know this news yet, and if he knew, he would definitely not believe it.

It's not that he doesn't believe in this result, after all, the soldiers of the Dragon Army are not defeated in the frontal battlefield, but rely on the well-defended watchtowers, which are somewhat invincible. What made him not believe it was that the Long Army had such courage to face the elite of the Liao State who only sent peasant soldiers?

Aren't you worried that these peasant soldiers who are on the battlefield for the first time will take the initiative to open the iron gate and come out to surrender out of fear and fear?

If one watchtower had done this, someone would have followed suit soon, and the outcome of the war might have been rewritten.

There is no time to think about this, what Gai Zhaoyin has to face now is how to punish himself after losing the battle.

In the Liao army camp outside Liaoyang City, more than 400,000 Liao soldiers are stationed here, and from a distance, it is the barracks connected to the barracks, and the military arrays are next to the military arrays.

When Gai Zhaoyin returned to the barracks with the defeated soldiers, many Liao soldiers saw it, some showed contempt, some showed disdain, and some people had heavy faces and different ideas.

In the main tent of the Liao army, Yeluren sat on a high seat, and on both sides stood a group of generals with troops. When he saw the somewhat embarrassed Gai Zhaoyin coming to the big tent, Yelu Renxian's voice sounded, "After twenty of the military sticks, they are getting up and talking."

The Liao State was far less wealthy than Zhao Song, but it was able to suppress Zhao Song for a long time, not only because their personalities were more ferocious, but also because of the strictness of military discipline and the respect for the personality of the martial artists.

It's like a cover made of silver

As a general of the defeated army, if it is placed in Zhao Song, I am afraid that those civilian officials who are the prison army will not listen to him at all, but will go directly to prison after waiting for the people to come back, waiting to be beheaded.

Zhao Song has always been like this, and it is all the responsibility of the general to lose the battle.

If the war is won, it means that the civilian officials command and supervise well.

Under such a policy, how many fierce generals were not allowed to be aggrieved little daughters-in-law, and they were finally assimilated and wore away their blood.

Twenty military sticks are Yeluren's punishment for Gai Zhaoyin first. It is true that he lost the battle, but originally his mission was to test the reality of the dragon army, that is, when he set off, Yeluren was ready for him to defeat the battle. Look at the book

A military stick hit on the buttocks, and Gai Zhaoyin also let out a painful wail like a normal person, which shows that these military sticks are not false.

After the execution of the military law, the skin on the buttocks was already open, and at this time, someone brought a soft cushion so that Gai Zhaoyin could lie on it, and in this posture, he began to tell all the details of the battle.

Yeluren and the other generals listened quietly, and if there was something they didn't understand, they interjected at any time to ask, and Gai Zhaoyin also explained them one by one, until he had finished speaking, and then he was carried down and healed.

In the big tent, because of Gai Zhaoyin's departure, it fell into a silence.

When the dragon army first built the watchtower, they knew about it, but they didn't care too much.

In the eyes of the Liao army, the temporary watchtowers are not terrible, as long as they really attack, they can completely break into the building, or cause damage outside, or even can be directly knocked down, it will definitely not become a stumbling block on their way forward.

Even if the dragon army is willing to do such useless work, then it is up to them to do it, so that they can also buy time for themselves to assemble a large army.

What is unthinkable is that the temporary watchtower is so strong that it cannot be destroyed, which is a result that is unexpected by everyone, and it also makes them have a headache.

In their eyes, now the watchtowers have become mountains, and they have become insurmountable trenches in front of them.

With the existence of these trenches, the speed of the Liao army's offensive will be greatly delayed, which was completely unanticipated before.

Fortunately, Yeluren deserves to be one of the famous generals, he did not choose to press the border as soon as he came up, but first took the means of temptation, otherwise, it is really impossible to imagine that if hundreds of thousands of Liao troops swarmed up, how many losses would be there this time.

The existence of watchtowers has become the biggest obstacle, if you want to come to the far city, if you want to threaten the Dragon Empire, you can only pull out these watchtowers, which is a problem that cannot be avoided at all. Although he was unwilling, he couldn't think of a better way, so he had to resort to the stupidest method.

"Come, order the craftsmen of the army to build catapults at once, and we will pull out these towers one by one like pulling teeth, and when all obstacles have been removed, the army will march again. By the way, I ordered someone to go to the capital to urge grain and grass, and report what happened here to His Majesty, and then, I am afraid that we will have to fight a protracted war."

Although I don't want to, I want to be in a hurry to make meritorious service. But considering the reality, Yeluren first decided to take a steady and steady state.

......

On the farmland near the capital city.

The third envoy, Zhang Jian, was walking among the ridges, his face gloomy and terrifying.

It's already July.

At this time, the fields are already green, and even if you are far away, you can smell the unique smell of food.

But now, looking at all the farmland, what was planted almost a few months ago, and what it is now, has not changed at all.

The Liao people in charge of farming were also puzzled at first, and then some people advocated reporting, but the officials in charge of this field were afraid of causing trouble for themselves after the false report, so they held on to the luck mentality, thinking that the high-yield crops might have been like this originally, and maybe it would be fine after a while, so they kept pressing and did not report it.

Until two days ago, I heard that the three envoys were going to come down to check,

Frightened for a while, he simply committed suicide by taking poison at home, and now he really didn't dare to face Zhang Jian's anger in the current situation of the farmland.

The official committed suicide and died, which made Zhang Jian, who had just come here, feel bad. When he came to the field and saw that there was nothing, he was really scared.

After trembling and ordering the soldiers who came with him to plow the fields, Zhang Jian waited for the final result with a pins and needles.

This is also to blame that he has been too busy recently, and there are too many grain, grass and ordnance that Yeluren's army needs to mobilize, and in order to coordinate this matter, he has not had a good rest for several days.

After the 400,000 troops were sent out, Zhang Jian was finally not so busy, so he thought of coming to the field to see how the grain was growing, but he didn't expect that what he saw when he came here was such a scene, which made his cold sweat break out instantly.

What the hell is going on?

Why is it that last year's planting was the same thing, which could bring extremely high grain yields, but not this year?

What's the problem?

Is it because the farmers don't work hard?

No.

These farmers are all good at it, and there are some people who love the land, and with them, they will definitely serve the crops well, and it is impossible to be irresponsible.

If it wasn't the farmer's problem, what could have caused it?

This year's wind and rain are smooth, and it is a peaceful and good year.

I can't even think of killing Zhang Jian, and the roots will appear on the seeds. The seeds provided in the system can only be planted, and if you want to cultivate again in the next year, you can only use new seeds, which may also be a restriction of the system on Su Shi, and it is also urging him to kill if he wants to get the real seeds, then kill them, go to the place where these seeds really come from, occupy there, and then the cycle can go on normally.
