Today, there are about 300,000 officials and Taoist priests in the entire Wei State, and 100,000 of them are in the army, which are the famous Wei soldiers. Some of the remaining two hundred thousand are in research institutions, some are officials in the government system, and some are raised by the nobles themselves.
As for the sorcerers and scholars, there are about ten million of them, three million of them are reserve soldiers of Wei soldiers.
Looking at it this way, Wei Wuzu indeed condensed the efforts of the entire Wei State. It can even be said that this group of Wei soldiers and the training system of Wei soldiers are the most intuitive product after the reform of the entire Wei state for more than thirty years!
Let's take a look at the reform of Wei State and directly look at the combat effectiveness of Wei's soldiers.
"Now, we have no money!"
"The borrowed money is about to expire and must be repaid immediately."
"Then send troops. Send troops to defend the country as quickly as possible."
Speaking of this, Weiss said thoughtfully: "Today, the situation is very complicated, and big countries are no longer so trustworthy. Maybe if our Wei country makes a move, it will be targeted by other countries."
Having said this, Wei Si looked at Chu and Qin.
These two countries have often struggled with Jin in the past. Although they have always failed, they have always insisted on provocation.
Wei Si has decided to communicate well with Han Feizi, Zhao Wuxie and the others in private. When necessary, the three Jins are still a family and must unite.
With the decision from the top management, the army is quietly gathering.
Soon, Wei Si, Zhao Wuxie, Han Feizi and others completed the communication.
Therefore, 10,000 Wei soldiers from the land bordering South Korea were quietly moved: Wei soldiers were prefecture-level Taoist soldiers, and their transfer speed was very fast. If necessary, they could move 100,000 miles a day and night, even if it was a routine move. Traveling thousands of miles a day is normal.
At the same time, the 10,000 Wei soldiers in the area bordering Wei and Zhao also quietly moved.
The movements of these two armies are unknown to the outside world.
At the same time, the army on the border between South Korea and Wei also quietly moved towards Zheng.
The armies from Zhao and Wei quietly moved toward Zhongshan. This time, Zhongshan Kingdom will be annihilated first, and then Dai Kingdom will be annihilated.
At the same time, 40,000 of the 50,000 Wei soldiers in the Wei capital quietly left.
Of the 30,000 Wei soldiers near Hangu Pass, 20,000 soldiers quietly left.
In this regard, Wei Si couldn't help but ask Pang Juan a question: "Brother Pang, what if the Qin State attacks from Hangu Pass?"
Regarding this issue, Pang Juan looked around. This is a secret room that has been set up a long time ago. There is no possibility of leaking the secrets here, so he can tell some truths that cannot be told to the outside world: "Your Majesty, this is actually not a big problem. .”
"Today's Hangu Pass is not only our Wei State's Hangu Pass, but also guards Hangu Pass for South Korea and Zhao State."
"In the past, there was Hangu Pass, and no matter how many troops the Qin State had, they were all blocked outside Hangu Pass."
"But times are definitely different now."
"The terrain of Hangu Pass is dangerous, and the power of the underground earth veins is very sufficient. Relying on the power of the earth veins there, the entire Hangu Pass and nearby areas have been managed into iron barrels, which are very stable, but this is in the past."
"At that time, the Xuan-level Taoist soldiers were the main force of the great country. And the Xuan-level Taoist soldiers could not bypass Hangu Pass. The Xuan-level Taoist soldiers could travel thousands of miles a day. If they traveled thousands of miles a day for several consecutive days, they could A Xuan-level Taoist army lost its combat effectiveness due to exhaustion and had to be repaired for a period of time. Therefore, at that time, Hangu Pass was still the most powerful pass in the world. Guarding Hangu Pass, even if 200,000 to 300,000 Qin troops blocked the pass, the army could still Rely on the topography of Hangu Pass and the underground veins for defense."
The great pass in the ordinary classical feudal era relied on the dangerous terrain.
There are mountains all around, so there is no way to go around.
The road here refers to the road forward by the army, the road that can be passed by the logistics convoy transporting grain and grass.
Such roads were very rare in ancient times.
In the normal classical feudal era, there were very few roads that could provide logistics for tens of thousands of troops, at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of civilians. Often on every such road, there is a city or pass.
Therefore, such cities and passes can be called strategic locations.
Individuals can go around it, but if the army goes around it, what will happen to the logistics?
The main force of the army has been bypassed. When the logistics convoy transporting food passes through the city, the troops in the city come out to rob your convoy and destroy your food transportation speed. If the frontline army has no food, it will simply be a loss of lives.
Therefore, in the classical era, a city that could not be bypassed and located at a transportation hub was the real battleground for military strategists.
But in today's world, every yellow-level Taoist soldier is an extraordinary person. When an outbreak occurs, they can put on armor on two legs, hold weapons, and run thousands of miles in one breath. What kind of hurdles can't be bypassed?
But the problem is still the same. Huang-level Taoist soldiers can get around it, but can ordinary soldiers who deliver food and grass to Huang-level Taoist soldiers get around it?
Can't get around it!
As for robbing the enemy's food to feed ourselves, the enemy has long fortified the walls and cleared the country. Where can we go to grab food?
Even a Xuan-level Taoist soldier can survive with a small amount of elixirs, natural materials, earthly treasures, and monster meat, but over time, he still cannot survive.
However, this concept, this system of relying on logistics to defeat the enemy, is now invalid!
"Nowadays, on the one hand, there are too many Qi Refiners. A large number of Qi Refiners have now learned to sort out the earth's veins, level the land, and build rivers. These Taoist methods, in peaceful times, are the magic that turns barbaric lands into great plains. , in the war years, with a little training, this is the strategic level method of opening mountains when encountering mountains and building bridges when rain comes."
"For example, Hangu Pass is very majestic, the surrounding terrain is dangerous, and the power of the earth veins is sufficient. The earth veins there have long been refined, and there are countless power of the earth veins for one's own use. Even if the great master comes, he can fight A fight."
"However, there are too many Qi Refiners. Recruiting a certain number of Qi Refiners can completely dig out a new road temporarily."
Speaking of this, Weiss remembered the Baijia fiftieth year. When the Han, Zhao, and Wei clans returned to the Jin Kingdom from Yancheng, they didn't just bring millions of people to temporarily dig rivers and create flowing water. Although those rivers contained There are very few water holes in rivers, so they are all disposable. Often after a few years, most rivers dry up before forming water holes, but at least within a few years, the rivers can be used.
"In other words, no matter how powerful Hangu Pass is, the Qin State can definitely recruit tens of thousands of warlocks who have understood the true meaning of water, or simply recruit tens of thousands of Taoist priests, collectively cast spells, directly create artificial rivers, and directly create a long-term artificial river. Years old, you can bypass Hangu Pass, and you can directly contact Qin State and our Wei State's artificial river."
"With this artificial river, and equipped with warlocks who have already prepared and understood the true meaning of water, even if the Qin State does not have them, they can still hire them from the seaside. The most indispensable thing in the sea now is this kind of warlock. As long as you give money , you can definitely hire them.”
"These warlocks, driving Yancheng's latest sea-going ships, can travel thousands or two thousand miles a day on these artificial rivers. Moreover, the consumption of water transportation food is very low."
"That's how times have changed."
"On the other hand, regarding the issue of military rations. In the past, special military rations were monster meat. To be precise, it was the meat of big monsters and monster kings..."
In short, the high-quality military rations at that time had neither systematic reserves nor systematic quality. The final result was that the special military rations could be consumed by the army in a short period of time. In a short period of time, the army (Xuan-level Taoist soldiers) bypassed the checkpoints and was unable to achieve results. As time went by, the army would automatically collapse.
"But now, the price of storage magic weapons has been greatly reduced, and the number is much greater than in the past. They have begun to be produced in a systematic and standardized manner. Nowadays, everyone in the army has a space magic weapon. Although such space magic weapons are very expensive and have a short shelf life. If it’s not long enough, it will become ineffective in a few years, but with these treasures, it can last for several months at critical times.”
Prefecture-level Taoist soldiers carry several months of high-quality military rations with them, which can be used for the army to burst into peak combat power more than a dozen times. Such an army still needs to consider the terrain? Do you still need to consider follow-up military rations?
"Nowadays, the 100,000 Wei soldiers carry high-quality military rations in their space magic weapons that can sustain the army for five months. Even if the army breaks out in full force, it can break out twelve times. Every time the army breaks out, under my command, the formation It can be said that it is easy to kill a group of first-generation and real people and at least one great real person in formation."
"This means that in this battle, Wei soldiers can directly bypass the defense line established by Weiguo, ignore Weiguo's terrain advantages, and go straight to the capital of Weiguo. The decision will be made in one battle!"
"Before I fought like this, Qin might have considered this, or maybe not."
"But after I fought like this, Qin Guo will definitely be able to think of this."
"At that time, the Qin State can also let Bai Qi take 50,000 Iron Eagle warriors, bypass Hangu Pass, and raid the capital of Wei with a few months of high-quality military rations."
"Even if Bai Qi doesn't do this, he can create a mountain when he encounters a mountain, directly create an artificial river for several years, follow the river, bypass Hangu Pass, and fight with us."
"So, now, natural barriers like Hangu Pass have lost their effectiveness."
To make rivers, I learned from the three clans of Han, Zhao and Wei.
The army carried high-quality military rations and bypassed the checkpoints, imitating Sun Wu's raid on Yingdu.
There are seniors who have already done this. It is not difficult for the juniors to imitate and improve!
At least Pang Juan felt that the probability that Qin would think of this and prepare for it was quite high.
"In other words, Hangu Pass has actually lost its effectiveness. As long as Qin is not stupid, it will not attack Hangu Pass. They can completely bypass it."
"After Taoism entered life, all aspects have undergone tremendous changes. This is true of life, and so is military combat."
"Moreover, there are too many communication treasures nowadays, so there is no need to worry about losing contact with the army."
"So, whether Hangu Pass reduces its troops does not actually affect Qin's determination to raid us."
"This battle will most likely take place in the capital..."
