From Soldier To Emperor

When Richard was immersed in the shock of successive ‘upgrades’, the escape convoy led by Long Letian had already entered the city of Yizhou.

From the perspective of urban defense, Yizhou is not much worse than Xizhou, but the population living in it is far less than Xizhou.

As a result, Yizhou is not a city similar to the provincial administrative capital of later generations like Xizhou.

Secondly, because of the news that the Ming army had attacked Xizhou, the landlord gentry and big households in Yizhou fled one after another. Together with a group of people evacuated from Anlu Mountain, the population loss was very serious.

The fleeing of the rich and the fleeing of ordinary civilians are two concepts, because it is impossible for the rich to flee with only their relatives. The servants, guards and cronies who follow are a large group of people, and these people themselves have their own families. Relatives and friends will often run along with them.

In this way, the number of people fleeing is very terrifying.

However, because of the departure of these people, it became very easy for the Long Family to control Yizhou. The original local snake-like existence was gone. The Long Family even brought a few people and An Lushan's documents to take over the entire Iraq. State.

The same is true for other counties where Anlu Mountain is awarded a reward.

However, what the Long Family received was just an empty shell, and even the government soldiers who stayed behind were the crooked melons who had been screened.

The army soldiers who can fight are also within the scope of Anlu Mountain's withdrawal.

In the East Asian Datang, the closer the area to the Central Plains, the simpler the formation of the local garrison troops. Because the area near the Central Plains has very few green skins, it is less likely that the wild orcs will thrive here, so the local governments do not need to maintain huge places Garrison.

Therefore, close to the Central Plains and even the Central Plains, apart from the Jieduya soldiers and regular troops in various places, the local garrison troops consisted of only the government soldiers in Tuntian.

Separate towns and counties no longer have independent county soldiers and patrol battalions as in the Western Regions, and there are no amateur mercenaries.

In this way, the government's expenditure can be greatly saved, and all the local security work is entrusted to the government officials, which is often referred to as bad people, who encounter bandits and small green skins, and the local government soldiers will handle them.

Without the messy local garrison formation, it is easier to manage.

Of course, in a more comfortable environment, the combat effectiveness of the military soldiers will inevitably decline. In addition, the military military fields have been generally embezzled by local big households, and the powerful military system in the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty has completely decayed.

If it weren't for the scattered greenskins to roam and breed, the local government soldiers would even become empty shells.

This is also the reason why Datang frequently set up local government officials to guard the border and non-Central Plains areas with regular troops.

As a result, Anlu Mountain, the strongest Jiedi, made the entire north unstoppable after the rebellion. The number of so-called government soldiers on the account can reach one million, but in fact, the number of soldiers that can be drawn out does not exceed one hundred thousand...

Even if there are less than one hundred thousand soldiers, the elite of the hundred warriors facing Anlu Mountain will be collapsed at once, and look forward to the wind...

During Anlu Mountain's invasion of the Northland area of ​​Datang, none of the large-scale battles that really broke out were fought with government soldiers. They all started with regular army field troops temporarily deployed by Datang.

Those government soldiers basically acted as the logistics team and waved the flag.

After the frontline Tang army was defeated by Anlushan, the local government soldiers changed from top to bottom and became an affiliated unit of Anlushan.

This is also the fundamental reason why Anlushan has attacked one-third of the territory of Datang in just a few years.

Naturally, An Lushan, which was so rotten to the roots, would not care. During the evacuation process, most of them were thrown to the Long family, except for the few that were able to fight.

The local government soldiers that Anlu Mountain doesn't look up to are still very important to the weak family of the Long Family. It is precisely relying on the local government soldiers and the official staff that the Dragon family talents headed by Long Batian recruited an army in a short period of time.

In time, after training, maybe one more combatable soldier can be trained.

It's a pity that Xizhou City, which was pinned to high hopes, was defeated too quickly. From Richard's attack to the fall of the city, it took less than two days...

When Long Batian received Long Letian and his party in Yizhou, he still had the illusion of being in a dream...

"Father, is Long Jiajun really gone?"

Long Batian looked at the sloppy caravan and asked helplessly.

Long Letian's hair was already grayed out of worry, and his appearance was much older. Although the average life expectancy of people in this era is only about 30 years old, it refers to the muddy legs at the bottom.

For people in high positions, it is not uncommon for people to eat and drink well all day long, and to live past 60 years old is not uncommon.

But Long Letian is in his prime of life. He has gray hair before he is 40 years old...

The First World War in Xizhou destroyed Long Letian's backbone and extinguished his hope of revitalizing the Long Family.

After seeing Long Letian nodding silently, Long Batian frowned.

"Father, Richard's Legion of the Dead has been following you to **** over, he wouldn't want to..."

Long Letian raised his eyes to look at Long Batian and said, "How many soldiers have been trained in Yizhou City?"

"There are about 50,000 people~www.wuxiahere.com~ but they have not yet received systematic military training, and they are not even equipped with weapons..."

Long Batian replied with worried eyes.

"It doesn't matter, the city defense of Yizhou is strong. Richard only brought his undead army over. The other troops stay in Xizhou. As long as our soldiers have the courage to defend the city, it is enough. Fight for the one-day training period!"

Long Letian seemed to have caught the last straw, and he didn't know if he was comforting himself.

The reason why Long Letian chose to handover in Yizhou is because Yizhou's urban defense is not weaker than Xizhou!

In addition, he also ruled in advance that Long Batian gathered the troops that had been trained in recent days and concentrated in Yizhou, in an attempt to form a confrontation with the Ming army.

This is the best result Long Letian can think of, he can't really surrender...

Now that the Long Family has a large county seat, as long as there is enough time, Long Letian has full confidence to re-train a Long Family Army!

Of course, Yizhou will soon become the front line. Now that there is no Long Family Army, Long Letian dare not stay here to command. If he gets captured again, will Richard spare him?

At this time, Long Letian can sell without Long Jiajun!

"We will rest in Illinois for one night, and we will set off tomorrow. Our Long family now owns the entire Northwest, so we can't believe that Richard's army can't be held back!"

I have to say that An Lushan's promise gave Long Letian the confidence to fight against Richard. From beginning to end, he believed that he was only short of time!

Moreover, as the Ming army's battle line deepened and the supply line became longer and longer, the combat effectiveness would definitely gradually weaken. Long Letian felt that as long as it dragged on, the Ming army would be weakened.

After hearing this, Long Batian nodded, naturally he would not object to his father.
