The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 471: Military spirit

A battle of 100,000 people in the ancient times often took several years to end, because the logistics strength of various countries could not keep up, and it took most of the time to transport materials and hurry on the battlefield. The real time on the battlefield Less pathetic.

Just like the previous war between the Ming Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty, the two sides dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops each, and the combined scale has crossed the one million level.

Even if this world is extraordinary and sacred, the low-level soldiers will travel much faster, and there will be more arcane techniques used in warfare, and the efficiency has improved a lot.

But Daming and Dajin fought such a northern war. From initiating the dispute to dividing the border between the two sides and now occupying their own borders, they fought her for more than three years.

The size of the armed forces on both sides increased from two to three hundred thousand at the beginning to four to five hundred thousand, and then to six to seven hundred thousand. In each battle, there were thousands of casualties and tens of thousands of casualties. After the war, their respective casualties were counted, and it turned out that in this small northern battlefield, the total number of deaths on both sides had reached a staggering two million.

This time Daming went south to crusade against the rebellion. He didn't intend to succeed all at once. Instead, he planned to take his time. He planned to take one to two years to regain the lost territory.

This is except that the land occupied by the rebellious imperial kingdom is so vast that it is difficult to regain it all at once. And because the Ming court itself was not very strong, even if it lays down the territory, there are simply not so many soldiers and men to rule.

The previous Da Jin war eventually consumed Da Ming’s national power. It can almost be said that if you continue to fight for two or three years, the Ming Dynasty will be completely exhausted, and will collapse without a fight.

In that situation, even if Da Ming still has an eighth-order celestial testimony, it is of no use to the overall situation.

After all, even the eighth-order heavenly immortals cannot conjure countless military rations out of thin air to supply the Ming Dynasty’s army of over a million, hundreds of thousands of officials, and hundreds of thousands or even millions of low-level personnel. Little official.

And the ruling foundation of a dynasty happened to be composed of these people. Without these people, even if the Ming Dynasty still occupies a vast territory, no one will rule, no matter how prosperous it is, it is no different from the wasteland.

This time the army of the Ming Dynasty went south to attack, and there was already a detailed plan.

It is impossible to eliminate the rebellion at once. After all, the difference in strength between the two is not easily offset by twice the number of people.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty did not plan to make a real quick battle, but hoped that the first batch of 500,000 troops could open up a new situation, and then waited for follow-up reinforcements.

The specific plan is about 500,000 troops attacking fiercely, occupying one or two provinces excluding casualties, and then collecting taxes and plundering resources from these two provinces to form a new army.

Then the imperial court in the rear raised supplies during the war, and prepared sufficient reserves, ready to be sent to the battlefield at any time to make up for the loss.

In this way, the two sides work together. As long as the forward army can always maintain victory, the subsequent reinforcements will be continuously formed to maintain a strong force on the front battlefield.

Then through continuous plundering to form an army, he slowly cannibalize the rebellious territory, eventually weaken the strength of the rebellion, and finally eliminate the hidden dangers in one fell swoop.

As for the eighth-tier powerhouses to directly take action, eliminate the main rebellious army, and unite the entire empire with supreme power, then it can really be talked about as a kind of invisible deterrence.

A Tier 8 powerhouse is equivalent to the power of a nuclear weapon and cannot be used easily.

There is such a popular convention in this world, which has almost become an unspoken rule. That is, when the eighth-tier powerhouse started to start a business, there was nothing to be able to obtain a piece of land that met the identity through their own strength.

But when the strength is established, as an eighth rank, you can't offend those low-level people casually, unless the same rank.

In doing so, in addition to maintaining the actual stability, certain eighth-tiers will directly shoot according to their own wishes and slaughter mortals at will, which will greatly shake the order of the entire society.

What's more, every Tier 8 subordinate basically has that little power. If the other Tier 8 subordinates are not sensible and kill their subordinates and replace them as their bosses, what should they do?

So such a simple agreement came out, the eighth rank can't take it casually, especially for people who are lower than their own cultivation level. Even if it is a shot, it must be done when the enemy is attacking itself.

This is the case in the war this time. It's not that Emperor Ming didn't want his ancestor to take action to clean up the rebellion, but that the ancestor's identity was restricted, and he couldn't do anything at all.

So in this world's war, as long as the previous dynasty's war failed, as long as the official document is issued, then generally no one will be held accountable, because these dynasties basically stand behind a god, and no one dares to offend.

The battle on the front line is fought very urgently.

Although several lines of defense have been set up at the beginning~IndoMTL.com~ and a certain amount of resistance has been drawn to engage in a frontal decisive battle with the enemy, but the Ming Dynasty's oppression is too strong, and the soldiers at the bottom dare not slacken their efforts.

Furthermore, most of Zhong Yu’s soldiers were recruited. Many soldiers had a certain sense of belonging and fear of the Ming Dynasty. Morale vented a bit during the war, and they often didn’t take long before the battle began. Collapsed.

Take the first decisive battle on the front line as an example.

The 300,000 army of the Yuguo and the 300,000 army of the Mingguo are facing a decisive battle. The strength of their respective soldiers is almost the same, and the Yuguo is even slightly better at the master level.

But at the very beginning of the war, Yuguo’s army fought. Although they looked alike, they were far inferior to the brave and brave soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were not afraid of death. The soldiers on Yuguo's side were in awe.

This is also the drawback that Zhong Yu swallowed too many territories at once and gathered too many descendants.

Originally, the six southern provinces and the eastern provinces have been in peace for a long time, or are located inland. The local guards have not experienced war for a long time. The training may not be so lax, but it is not strict. Said it barely reached the level of the general regular army.

The soldiers that Zhong Yu brought out from the small world may be reliable and brave, have experienced some blood, and have a certain battlefield training.

The combat effectiveness of the descendants that can be collected is really not complimented. Especially if they are asked to deal with their original masters, the fight is even more casual and casual.

Facing the Ming Dynasty, these descendants often did not work hard, fought twice on the battlefield at will, and then fled in all directions. What's more, even a direct reversal, making Zhong Yu tickled with hatred.

Among them, the troops that can fight the Ming army hard for a few games, and the troops that have played a little real fire are regarded by Zhong Yu as reliable.
