It was already a month and thirteen days after Xie An, who was in Kulong Slope, received the battle report from the Yulin Army.
"Lost more than 2,000 men and defeated more than 60,000 enemy troops."
Xie An flipped to the end and looked at it: "Five hundred and seven people died in battle" Half of the army's losses refer to those who have lost their combat effectiveness, including those killed, seriously wounded, and missing, of which those killed and missing in battle are considered permanent losses, and even if the missing are found later, they will basically not be accepted back into the army again.
The conclusion of the treatment of missing soldiers in various countries is similar, either they are not found at all after they disappear, or they are punished as deserters after they are found.
If they are judged to be deserters, it is difficult for them to have a chance to appeal, and they are most likely to be executed.
Only some missing soldiers who can show that separation from the army is unstoppable can survive, but even if they can still be a soldier, it will be a luxury to return to the original army, and it is lucky to be arranged to continue to serve in other troops.
Xie Ai took the battle report and read it, mainly concerned about the casualties, flipped it over and said: "Destroy 7,726 enemy troops, capture 23,000 people, and scatter the rest. ” Such a result was fought by Li Jun with more than 5,500 men, which was quite a remarkable achievement in every aspect, not to mention that there were more than 500 auxiliary personnel under Li Jun's command who were not considered combat effectiveness.
"Li Hezhi is really a good general," Xie Ai said with appreciation: "The general of the Han cavalry, Li Hezhi should be in the middle and upper reaches." ” The number of cavalry in the Han Empire was actually quite large, but there were 120,000 in terms of number, and six in the rank of legion, of which the establishment of the Tiger Ben Army and the Yulin Army was far more than 15,000 people.
The Tiger Army was the first standing army with a special number, with less than 3,000 mounted heavy cavalry at the beginning, and later expanded to 5,000.
In addition to the heavy cavalry, it was accompanied by 12,000 assault cavalry, 20,000 light cavalry and 3,000 archers, bringing the number of soldiers to 40,000.
In fact, the Yulin Army also has its own mounted heavy cavalry, but the number is far less than that of the Tiger Army, only a thousand equipped heavy cavalry, but the turk cavalry is 18,000 people, there are 25,000 light cavalry and 6,000 archers, and the number of soldiers reaches 50,000.
There is a special prefix.,And it's still a tiger and a feather forest.,No matter how much attention is paid to it.。
Two troops with special numbers, they did fight for the country and the nation after their establishment, participated in almost every major war, and made countless contributions.
This time, the Yulin Army was transferred to the Western Expedition Shogunate sequence, in fact, Liu Yan was using this way to show an attitude.
Troops with special numbers generally do not move lightly, and once they are dispatched, they will not be petty fights.
Since the Yulin army marched westward, the Han people who learned the news all confirmed that the punishment of the Son of Heaven for Sassanid would be based on the destruction of the country.
Those who learned of this, if they were not conscripted into the army, confirmed that they would no longer be conscripted within a short period of time, and those with lofty ideals prepared their own weapons and dry rations, and embarked on the road to the west.
In terms of the age distribution of the country's population, the Han Empire is now in its youth.
The elderly over the age of 60 account for less than 3 percent of the country, but under the age of 13 account for 34 percent of the country, between the ages of 13 and 35 account for 57 percent of the country, and the remaining 6 percent are between the ages of 35 and 60.
Although children under the age of 13 account for an exaggerated 34 per cent, the proportion of teenagers, young adults and young adults is 57 per cent, and this age distribution is actually the healthiest time for a country in terms of future development.
The Han Empire planned to expand its army to one million, and based on the proportion of men of the right age group to serve, it would take about seventeen people to be drafted into one person.
At present, Han people in their thirties, both men and women, have basically experienced war.
In particular, the Han people north of the Yangtze River have not only experienced war, they have also lived in the wanton killing and bullying of Hulu.
They are no strangers to war, understand that only by daring to fight can they have dignity, coupled with the basic national policy of the Han Empire, that is, without a title, they are nothing, and the Han people are really not afraid of war, and it can even be said that they are worried and afraid that there will be no war.
Once there is no war, there is no better way to change one's destiny.
Too many people are illiterate, have no special skills, how to earn a knighthood Therefore, war is absolutely indispensable for those who want to change their ordinary fate, even aspiring Han people.
The whole people are eager for war, especially the Han Empire, which was reborn and risen from war, perhaps not as many generals as those previous dynasties, but there is no shortage of excellent generals.
Of course, there must be a Jiangmen family in the Han Empire, for example, Xie An can also be regarded as a Jiangmen family, Ran Min, Huan Wen, Xie Ai, Wang Ji and some other people with powerful families, they are all Jiangmen families.
Xu Zheng, Lu Tai, Li Kuang, Si Hongzhuang, Qian Jiantong, Zhong Xing, Li Tan and a number of other people, including Li Jun, belong to the kind of halfway monks.
They slowly learned war skills during their military careers, and then studied hard military books and then integrated them, and they had their own background in commanding the army in combat.
Before they were not counted as a family of generals, and they did not have time to become the top heroes of Conglong, Li Kuang and Si Hongzhuang were the first to show their talents.
Qian Jiantong on the side of the Asan Continent, because of a special situation, he became the chief general of the shogunate in wartime.
The problem is that he has not yet shown his worth, and even if he becomes the chief general of the shogunate in wartime, no one will take him seriously until he has a good record.
Li Jun has a record this time, if he doesn't lose the next battle, needless to say that he will win several more battles in a row, as long as he can play a little bit better, there is no doubt that he will become a new star and be followed and expected by countless people.
"Increase troops" Xie An knew very well what it meant for Li Jun to abolish the Sassanid army of more than 50,000 in the first battle, and decisively said: "Give Li Hezhi another standing army" Xie An immediately wrote the order, and after writing it, he gave it to Xie An to stamp the seal of the general of the Western Expedition, and he also stamped the seal belonging to the commander of the army on the official document.
With the official document, you also need a military talisman, not an animal-style tiger talisman or the like, but actually a copper token, and a command arrow that is also copper.
The Sassanid side only had about 200,000 troops, and they divided a detachment to go to the kingdom of Jidora, and buried another 50,000 or 60,000 people.
Although the Sassanid side still has more than 100,000 troops, because a defeat has caused a demoralization, and then 100,000 troops need to defend such a wide front, continuing the attack is obviously an extremely effective choice.
Giving Li Jun another standing army, it is obvious that Xie An expects more from Li Jun.
Originally, there were about 50,000 troops, plus a standing army and matching auxiliaries, and Li Jun's troops on hand would reach about 70,000.
Divide 70,000 troops to Li Jun, and send a number of soldiers and horses to the Doluo Kingdom, and there are not too many soldiers and horses left in Xie An's headquarters.
However, Xie An and Xie Ai don't think it's a big problem, now the Sassanid army is in decline after losing 50,000 or 60,000 divisions, and the new legions reinforced from the rear will arrive in large numbers within five days, even if there is any accident on the headquarters side, there will be no pressure to hold on for five days and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive.
The Sassanid division of troops to send the partial division of the Kingdom of Dora was also affected by the weather and was forced to stop halfway.
The news of their dispatch of troops was indeed discovered by the Xiaoyue clan.
The king of Jidora immediately summoned the envoy of the Western Expedition Shogunate in Peshawar and agreed to a series of conditions for the Western Expedition of the Shogunate, but there was only one request, that is, the Han father should send troops to rescue me as soon as possible.

In fact, if there was no sudden rainstorm, or it would have been so long, it is estimated that the Kingdom of Jidora would not have enough time to react before it should be sent to the city of Peshawar.
Once Sassanid attacks Peshawar, even if the Han army is willing to send troops to the rescue, Xie An's conditions for the Kingdom of Jidora will definitely not be the ones before.
Unless the king of Jidora did not hesitate to immediately agree to Xie An's conditions, maybe even if there was no delay, the strength of the kingdom of Jidoro did not know whether it could hold out until the Han army arrived.
A rainy season bought the kingdom more than ten days, and they were worried that the Han Empire would deliberately delay and wait for them to enter the moment when the mountains and rivers were exhausted and offer worse conditions, but it did not, making them wonder if the rumors they had heard about the Han Empire were false.
Xie An did not prescribe new conditions, the reason could not be simpler.
The Kingdom of Jidora is so big, and how much strength it has will not change because Xie An opens new conditions.
For the Han Empire, if it weren't for the location of the Jidora Kingdom that would help this war, and then it would be necessary to improve the reputation of the Han Empire, the impact of which side the Jidora Kingdom chose would only be to destroy one more country for the Han Empire.
Obviously, the army of the Western Expedition has moved away from the mainland, and there is still a protracted war with the Sassanids in the future, and destroying the kingdom of Jidora will be the worst option for Xie An.
The destruction of the Jitara Kingdom is certainly a matter of sending the Yulin Army, or two standing armies, but after the destruction, it should be a land full of ruins, and I don't know how many people will hate the Han people because of the loss of the country, not fighting with the army but destroying them sporadically and frequently.
If there was no protracted war against Sassanid in the future, the Western Expedition would naturally not care about the follow-up of destroying the Kingdom of Jidora.
If it weren't for the fact that the current reputation of the Han Empire was too bad in various countries, after the destruction of the Jitara Kingdom, as many rebels would be killed, in fact, it would not be a matter for the contemporary Han people.
"This time, Li Tan will lead the army."
Xie An said about the rescue of the kingdom of Jidora: "How" Xie Ai pondered for a while and said, "With Li Hezhi in front, it is very good to achieve the name of Shuangli." ” In fact, there are not so many surnames Li in the Han Empire, most of them are concentrated in Guanzhong and the northwest, and the rest of the region only accounts for more than 30 percentages.
The generals surnamed Li, who was born in Guanzhong and the northwest, don't know what the situation is, check the generals and colonels of the cavalry troops of the Han Empire, and the standing armies that can be fought are relatively good, and the surname Li is really not a small number of lieutenant generals who lead the army.
The information that Xie An knew about the Sassanid army that went out to the kingdom of Jidora was that the Sassanid army had entered the territory of the kingdom of Jidora, and it seemed that there was a little bit of invincibility, if the northwestern parts of Jitara could not stop the Sassanid army, Peshawar would face the situation of troops coming to the city seven days later at the latest.
Li Tan, who got the order to go out, already knew Li Jun's achievements, and he was still envious and jealous before, sighing why he could only stay in the barracks, and as soon as he got the order to go out, he immediately fell into a state of anger and hard work.
"The princes have already learned the achievements of the Yulin Army" Li Tan has already ordered the troops to be reorganized and summoned the middle and high ranks of the army: "Five thousand against sixty thousand, the battle is won, more than 7,000 heads are beheaded, and more than 20,000 people are captured." ” As a martial artist, individuals will admit their strength and weakness to individuals, but if it is about troops with different numbers, no army will admit that they are inferior to others.
Li Tan was very satisfied with the unconvincing of the generals under his command, but he did not show it: "Is it full of nonsense, or how, judging by the battle record" The troops were all ordered, the generals were angry, and the army was drawn.
This time, there is no God to add to the blockage, if there is another heavy rain after the expedition and he has to stop the march, Li Tan will definitely be so depressed that he vomits blood.
However, the area is really not a good environment, and it is very hot and stuffy, which is not a good climate for marching.
Li Tan has been mentally prepared to bring more water as much as possible, mainly because he no longer has to follow the twists and turns of the river section, and can reach Peshawar as soon as possible.
Under the hot and stuffy weather, the water that people and horses need to replenish in a hurry will definitely be several times more than usual, and the consumption of water is still larger than estimated.
There is nothing absolutely smooth in the world, especially when it comes to marching and fighting, but overcoming all kinds of unexpected or unexpected difficulties.
While the Han army was still on its way, Peshawar was surrounded by the Sassanid army that had been killed.
"Han envoy, when will reinforcements come" Lukhmaru looked out of the city worriedly at the large number of Sassanid troops: "If it's late" "This official is not an envoy of the Han Dynasty, but only an envoy of the shogunate."
Ma Bin must make this point clear, otherwise not only will he be in great trouble, but even Xie An will be unlucky: "There is a big difference between the two, and please don't call the leader wrong." ” Before he came, Ma Bin didn't know the real situation here, and only after he came did he know that there was no Jiduoluo Kingdom at all, and some were just Jiduo Alliance.
But this is not a problem, regardless of whether it is a state or an alliance between tribes, the Jiduo family really rules a land and has hundreds of thousands of subjects, which is basically enough.
"Well, it's the messenger."
How can Lukhmaru still struggle with this now: "There are not many defenders in the city, and the enemy army is menacing, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out for long." ” Ma Bin smiled and nodded constantly, making a confident appearance.
It's just that he doesn't know when reinforcements will come:
