The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 450
[Chapter 445 Garrison]
With Li Cheng’s death, the entire Pingyang City defenders completely lost their resolve to resist. All of them threw away their weapons and knelt down and begged to surrender.
Zhong Yu was not too embarrassed for those who surrendered.
After all, with Zhong Yu taking over the entire Xijiang Province, these surrendered people will also become his subjects, and because all the family members are in the hands of Zhong Yu, it is not impossible to use these surrendered troops for his own use again.
Although Zhong Yu is backed by a small world, he can use it to conquer all walks of life, collect resources from it, and use it for himself, and thus gather a million third-order army.
But this is not a wise choice, long-term wisdom.
Although there are many millions of troops, they are nothing compared to this vast world of Liaozhai.
And most of them are low-level powers. If they really face the seventh-level and eighth-level masters at the top of the world, they are basically the end of the whole army.
A truly wise person should recruit local natives, slowly expand their influence and strength, and then invade the entire world.
Just like Zhong Yu is receiving the surrendered army now.
First accept the army that surrendered from the Ming Dynasty, slowly reorganize and transform them, and finally become an army that is loyal to themselves and can be used to fight.
Then recruit new recruits from the private sector, and select people with strengths above the third rank as soldiers.
And the recruitment list is widely distributed, seeking to win the world’s strange people and things, and the strong can come to help.
Now this policy has been carried out in Dongjiang Province.
As the army that rescued the entire Dongjiang Province, Zhong Yu’s order was not resisted by the residents of Dongjiang Province.
After all, building a strong army, whether it is used to maintain rule or defend against foreign enemies, will contribute to the stability of Dongjiang Province.
Dongjiang Province, which has already experienced a calamity with demon soldiers, has long since hoped that a greater chaos would happen again on this dilapidated land.
Therefore, the formation of an army, which is beneficial to local stability, is strongly supported by the rest of Dongjiang Province.
Up to now, as a month has passed, Dongjiang Province has recruited a group of third-order legions with a number of about 50,000 people.
Many of these people were the original defenders of Dongjiang Province, but after being defeated by the demon soldiers, they scattered among the people and hid everywhere.
Now I heard that the demon soldiers have been expelled, and a new force has ruled the entire Dongjiang Province, and is still recruiting soldiers.
These people who were originally soldiers came to join the army, and joined the army again.
The rest of the people are the original residents.
Because he did not want the war to happen again in his hometown after suffering from the war, he took the initiative to join the army, intending to defend his family and the country, and keep the enemy out of the country.
Among these 50,000 people, there are many fourth-order and fifth-order people, but unfortunately there is not a sixth-order one.
However, it is also true that with the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, there is only one governor per province, and the rest is gathered in the capital as a mobile force, which can be said to be extremely cherished.
Every sixth-order powerhouse is placed anywhere, and it is a character who can be called the ancestor of Taoism and create a line of Taoism.
How could a character like this be so easily humiliated and become a dog under the imperial court?
In the following days, Zhong Yu was busy reorganizing the surrendered army of Pingyang City, and at the same time dispatched his own army of 200,000 to attack the remaining areas of Xijiang Province.
However, this busy day did not last long, and a sudden news interrupted his work.
When the Huaixi Province Front Army was attacking Huaixi Province, the Governor of Huaixi Province led the army to take the initiative to attack, with 30,000 people to carry the 100,000 army under Zhong Yu’s command.
Although the Huaixi Army is small, their leader is a sixth-order powerhouse, and has a huge advantage in high-level combat power.
Although Zhong Yu’s army was numerous, there was not a sixth-order army. The entire army was commanded by more than ten fifth-order powerhouses. The high-level combat power was far from the opponent of the Huaixi Army.
After the battle started, although Zhong Yu’s army had the blessing of the formation and resisted the Huaixi army for a period of time without falling behind, but as the sixth-order master continued to make big shots, more and more places were being destroyed. , In the end, because the damage was too serious, the entire formation was completely destroyed.
Without the formation of the 100,000 army, facing a sixth-order powerhouse, they would slaughter like chickens and dogs.
In the end, the 100,000 army in Huaixi was defeated, and 70,000 of the 100,000 were beheaded by the opposing side. Among them, 30,000 were killed by the governor, and the remaining 30,000 returned to Dongjiang Province to stick to it.
This news caused Zhong Yu’s great anger.
Since he came to the world of Liao Zhai, although he did not dare to take any action because of his strength, he was afraid that some great power would come to clean him up.
But that doesn’t mean that others can stand on his head at will to bully him, shit and pee.
This is the case with the Governor of Huaixi Province today,
He even dared to slaughter the army under his command with the help of his sixth-order cultivation base, which eventually caused the collapse of the entire Huaixi station and severely dampened the momentum of his army’s winning streak. UU read www.uukanshu.com Make Zhong Yu angry.
And the loss of 70,000 troops also made Zhong Yu feel very distressed.
You must know that although Zhong Yu has an army of millions, this is only theoretical.
There are hundreds of worlds under his command, and each world must be guarded by a large army to ensure that all worlds are under his control.
And although Zhong Yu’s main energy is now on the world of Liaozhai, the plundering and development of other worlds does not mean that he has stopped. He still sent troops to other newly searched world strategies.
As a result, half of his army of one million was hampered, and he could not be recruited to attack the world of Liaozhai for him.
This also means that Zhong Yu can really use only about 500,000 troops.
And in the territory of Liao Zhai World Raiders, people also need to be stationed in order to stabilize their rule.
For example, Zhong Yu has just won Dongjiang Province, and the basic defenders of the place alone cost him 80,000 troops, which barely stabilized his basic rule over Dongjiang Province.
Now there is another Xijiang Province, and by then the army of 70,000 or 80,000 will be gone.
This is only two provinces. When Zhong Yu’s territory becomes larger and larger, and the places where troops need to be stationed become wider and wider, then the number of troops to maintain law and order in the local area is an extremely terrifying number.
This is the reason why today’s Ming Dynasty, although it seems to have an army of more than one million, the army that can fight is only three to five million.
It’s not that the Ming Dynasty didn’t want to send more troops to fight, but that once the troops stationed in the place were all deployed, his rule in that place would basically come to an end.
So even if the war is won, what is the difference between that and losing?
