In fact, during the peace talks, both sides did not stop preparing for war, and Songtsen Gampo was busy gathering troops and establishing a line of defense from the Yishule Army Town to the Yutian Army Town.

The Yuchi family spent all their wealth, and with the support of the Tubo people, showed the foundation of a top local clan. They took out all the guards of the family and a group of outlaws recruited to rebuild a private army of the Yuchi family.

Long Letian left his nest with tens of thousands of core main forces. After meeting with Songtsen Gampo, he slowly advanced towards the north of the Palacio. At this time, the armistice agreement between Long Letian and Richard had become waste paper. Long Letian obviously planned to station troops to the north and disperse Richard's troops.

If Richard draws the main force to the north to defend the Long family, the pressure on Shule from the south to the defense line of Yutian will be greatly reduced. Even if Richard draws 1,000 elite troops, it is worth it.

Among the three alliances led by Songtsen Gampo, Richard had less than 5,000 soldiers in total.

More than half of the field legions were damaged in the previous battles, and they were damaged because they did not capture enough Han soldiers and have not completed the supplement so far...

The field army is an army composed of ordinary humans. Under such huge losses, even if they win for a long time, they are unable to launch a fierce offensive and defensive battle. However, it is more than enough to be used as a defending force in the city.

In fact, Richard was exactly what he planned. After a few days of rest, the field army that was dissatisfied with rest was like a heading north to guard against the Long Family Army in the north.

Although the field army was not as strong as the Long Family Army, it was enough to support the local garrison army while defending the city.

Whether for Richard or the three alliances, the north side will not become the focus of the competition between the two sides, because the reason is very simple.

To the north is the Long family's sphere of influence, and even if they win, they will be swallowed up by the Long family. The Tufan Expeditionary Army's territory is in the south, and the Yuchi family's nest is the Khotan Army Town to the south. As long as they do not have the fearless idea of ​​sacrificing themselves, they will never abandon their territory to help the Long family conquer the world...

Even if the Tubo people and the Yuchi family are anxious, they will not do such stupid things as making wedding dresses for others...

Therefore, Richard only transferred the seriously damaged field army to the north, and no Taoist soldiers were transferred.

On the other hand, Richard's team seemed aggressive in the south, and the big cities could not be eaten, but Richard would not let go of those towns. He personally led 3,000 elite cavalry of multilateral troops, sweeping across the sphere of hostile influence like locusts passing through the border.

Richard, a local Han gentry class who has the support of force, will not move. That thing is like a hornet's nest. It is easy to penetrate, but it will cause the entire southern Han gentry class to share the same hatred and enemy. It is equivalent to pulling yourself a strong enemy, and only a fool will do that...

What's more, it is easier to attack the poor villages of the Han gentry and class landlords with high walls and courtyards?

To be precise, Richard did not encounter any battle at all. Basically, as soon as the cavalry's iron hooves arrived, the poor people dispersed...

In order to get enough cannon fodder, Richard was also very fierce this time. All the men who could not go to the battlefield or do physical work were killed, and the woman only left young and not ugly as a military prostitute.

Songtsen Gampo's Tubo people were already afraid of Richard. As long as Richard did not attack the big city, he refused to go to fight and allowed Richard's team to plunder the population outside.

This rampage continued until early March of the 2nd year of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the Tufan prisoners captured in the battle, Richard gathered more than 100,000 green cannon fodder in just a few months!

In order to deter the 100,000 green cannon fodder, Richard did not even dare to bring them all at once. Most of them were in the rear relying on the garrison army and local police stations to take care of them in part, and then transported them to the front line little by little according to Richard's needs.

This will ensure that after the battle begins, the number of young and middle-aged cannon fodders on the front line will not be too large, causing chaos in the fight, and at the same time, it can continuously replenish the loss on the front line.

With enough cannon fodder, Richard can finally let go of his hands and feet to launch a large-scale offensive and defensive battle.

He knew that his opponent did not dare to fight against him in the wild, and all 40,000 lucky coins were used by Richard to exchange for practical 4th-level 5th barrack infantry.

If Richard did not count the cost of casualties, he could even reach the low-grade flesh-and-hearted realm with the per capita combat power of these 4,000 people, and the infantrymen in the fifth barracks in medium armor broke through Shule Army Town.

However, if you do so, Richard will inevitably face the battle loss that cannot be seen directly. Even if you have a certain amount of luck and coins, you will lose the motivation to attack the city next time.

This is why Richard plundered the young and strong people in the enemy territory despite his bad reputation and turned all the prisoners of war into cannon fodder.

In order to prevent Tufan's battle axe from causing trouble, Richard not only executed all the senior military officers in public, but also mixed Tufan's prisoners of war with the cowardly young and strong people, and simply composed them the auxiliary army number. According to ten thousand people, one legion, and a total of ten auxiliary army corps were changed to ten auxiliary army corps.

Richard promised them that as long as they defeat the three alliances, they would be founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty. Not only could they choose a large amount of money rewards, but they could get military merits as long as they were willing to become a real Ming soldier!

The military officers of the entire auxiliary army are selected according to crowd recommendations and competitions, and their official positions are determined by fists. However, all military officers have a temporary prefix, and they need to use the enemy's blood and victory to become regular.

If the soldiers below accumulate enough military merits, they can also be promoted to the position of military officers. For this reason, Richard has formulated a complete set of military merit promotion systems to encourage soldiers of the auxiliary army to refer to the rank system of the field army.

Richard knew that this time the enemies were all huddled into the city, and even the new forces were scattered to various cities. If they wanted to completely defeat the enemy, they could only chew over the city one by one...

If nothing unexpected happens, the auxiliary legion will have to be used for a long time...

Under the incentive system of military merit and the future of painting, Richard also formulated strict military laws, which were mixed with a large number of executions to shock the young people. In addition, all military law execution squads were served by Taoist soldiers!

This makes the execution of military law more fair and fair. After all, soldiers from the headquarters of the system will not commit favoritism and fraud...

However, only the First Auxiliary Army Corps has truly established a complete auxiliary army system, and the remaining nine auxiliary army corps are conducting basic military training in the rear.

At least we must let the young and strong people of the forced semen learn how to use swords and guns before the war...
