Chapter 567 Tiger and Wolf Master(2/2)
These are all things they have never seen before.
But Li Chongxian would not know that this tiger and wolf army was actually fed with the flesh and blood of Jiaozhi people.
When we went south in the first month of this year, the first general of Yulong could only be regarded as a "well-organized" combat division.
However, the southern expedition to Jiaozhi fed out their mentality and fighting spirit.
no way!
Traveling thousands of miles south is exhausting and hard work.
But the loss is very little!
During the southern expedition of the First General Yulong, including those who died in battle, illness and other causes, there were only over 400 people.
A complete logistics supply and injury and illness care system has greatly reduced deaths caused by epidemics, climate, injuries and other reasons.
In the war, the first general of Yulong took on the main task.
However, the Jiaozhi people were not well prepared, and Zhang Dun, Gao Zunhui, and Nong Zhihui instigated the rebellion of the entire northern wealthy clan and chieftain.
Therefore, almost all battles are one-sided.
The enemies that the first general Yulong encountered were either insufficiently prepared and were attacked by cavalry and stole their homes (Battle of Jueli Pass), or they were trapped in a fortified city and wanted to hold on for help, but the city wall was blown down by gunpowder (Beijian City).
When it came to the decisive battle, the Jiaozhi army encountered the nightmare of all armies - their logistics were cut off, their return route was cut off, and they were forced to confront the Song army.
As a result, they were attacked at night by cavalry trained on the battlefields of Song and Xia, resulting in heavy losses and a complete collapse of their already low morale.
Li Changjie made a decisive move, and the war elephant he had high hopes for was instantly destroyed by Yu Longzhi's grenade.
Violent explosions and sudden defections of war elephants.
Let the people of Cochin completely collapse, and all organization and order will disappear.
Under the nourishment of such victories one after another, the energy and spirit of the first dragon-controlling general can naturally be fed out.
What's more...
They made too much money from this southern expedition!
From top to bottom, everyone is making money.
Even though he was a big-time soldier, he was rewarded by the court, military salary and various extra income in Jiaozhi, and he brought back hundreds of dollars worth of money.
Those with better luck may even have made the leap from big-headed soldiers to military ministers on the battlefield.
As a result, this army now has the highest proportion of officers in the Song Dynasty!
After a southern expedition, more than a hundred officers were born among the soldiers alone.
They range from low-ranking military ministers of no rank to rank-3 junior envoys.
As for the officer group, three remote counties and more than twenty ambassadors were born.
Under the stimulation of money and official status, it is natural to imagine the transformation of the first general of Yulong.
This is what a feudal army is like.
If you give enough money and realize your achievements in a timely manner, you will have a strong army!
If you can get extra financial incentives on the battlefield, you will also have a clear path to promotion.
Then, no one is afraid of this army, and no one dares to touch it!
The Qin army, the Han army, and the Tang army all rose up in this way.
The reason why the Song Dynasty army has been performing poorly.
In addition to the pressure and constraints imposed by civil servants, there is also an issue of remuneration.
Therefore, even in the Western Army that has reformed the art of war, it is great to have a thousand elites in an army of 10,000.
When the remaining people went to the battlefield, they howled when the wind was blowing and ran away when the wind was against them.
This is normal - the military pay given to them by Zhao Guan's family is not enough.
Xiang troops and archers, three to five hundred coins a month.
Even if it's the Forbidden Army, the lower army and the middle army only have one pass, two passes and at most three passes.
Who would risk their lives for such a small amount of money?
If you place three arrows when facing the enemy, you will be worthy of Zhao Guan's family!
Why do the picks dare to fight?
Because there is a lot of money, more than five guan a month, and the soldiers can get ten guan!
Moreover, they eat well, wear well, get more rewards, and have better equipment.
As for why the Xihe Song Army under Li Xian was able to receive the same military pay as other Song armies, but it often exploded. There were even more than a thousand defending troops, resisting the siege of tens of thousands of party members, killing many people.
(Battle of Dingxi City)?
The answer to this question is actually very simple.
Because there were a large number of Dangxiang, Qiang, and Tubo people in the Song army on the other side of the Xihe River.
One or two regular military pay is not worth fighting for for the Han Song army.
But for these bitter people, it is enough to buy their lives!
