Today he killed hundreds of Bai Bo's soldiers. This was his first gift to his mother. He did it not for anything else but to show his relatives in the underworld his determination to avenge his family.
Later, he would take Bai Bo's head and go see his mother with it.
It was the third day since the Beirong army arrived at Qingshi Prefecture.
Early this morning, Ji Wan limped to the city wall as usual to observe the Beirong army outside the city.
The fighting has been going on for three consecutive days, and there haven't been many fewer people in the Beirong army.
On the contrary, on Ji Wan's side, even if the soldiers rotated with each other, it was of no use. Those who should bleed bleed, and those who should get injured get injured.
Together with Lou Shao's 50,000 soldiers, Ji Wan had a total of 90,000 men under his command. However, Lou Shao's soldiers were clearly inferior to Ji Wan's specially trained soldiers.
The consumption was extremely rapid. In just three days, many soldiers brought by Lou Shao died.
Ji Wan frowned when he saw this. The soldiers brought by Lou Shao were too weak. He really didn't know how much water was in his title of General of Cavalry.
None of Ji Wan's soldiers died.
It wasn't that Ji Wan sent Lou Shao's soldiers out as the vanguard suicide squad, nor was it that she was stingy and didn't give the soldiers light iron armor.
Ji Wan asked them to send only 10,000 people every day, and the rest were all the main forces under Ji Wan. He also gave them the light iron armor of his soldiers, but it still didn't work.
The formation created by Lin Chanhua and Tuoba Feng is also immovable, and even if Xiao Ling can control the formation, her hand cannot reach the Yongcang River three miles away.
That is, their real strength is not as good as Ji Wan’s army.
After all, most of the soldiers brought by Lou Shao were forced to serve in the military by the country, and most of them were farmers, hunters, etc. before.
The most important thing is that the gap in numbers is too big. No matter how Ji Wan tries to avoid or shorten the gap, there is still no particularly effective effect.
Even after a few days of training, they are still mediocre players.
It's nothing like the soldiers who started increasing the difficulty and intensity of training when Ji Wan just arrived in Qingshi State, which cost a lot of money and time.
Lou Shao was the commander of the soldiers. He and his two generals stood beside Ji Wan, watching countless soldiers fall outside the city every day. He was most aware of the gap between the two.
The heart is also the most unbalanced.
"Your Highness has elite soldiers and brave generals under his command. Shao is ashamed of himself as he is not as good as them." Lou Shao looked at a soldier with a broken leg being carried into the city with distress.
Ji Wan didn't say anything, just nodded lightly.
"Your Highness is so lucky. How come all these soldiers ran into your tent... If General Lou also had them..." Is it your turn, Ji Wan, in Qingshi Province?
Xiangyang said sourly as he stood behind Lou Shao.
The generals around Lou Shao were just like him. They felt sad about the rapid loss of soldiers in the past few days, but also envied the strength of Ji Wan's soldiers.
Looking at the soldiers under his command, and then looking at the soldiers under Ji Wan's command, sigh...
Originally, he didn't understand why the general would submit to Ji Wan, a cripple and a princess, instead of choosing the healthy third prince Ji Ze.
Now he understood something. Just the soldiers under this man were enough to make people envious and jealous.
If the number of such elite soldiers were to increase, no country would be conquered!
"Xiangyang, what nonsense are you talking about!" Lou Shao's face turned serious when he heard this. He turned sideways and lowered his head to scold him.
Ji Wan's expression remained unchanged: "Nothing, Wenzhi, do you know what these soldiers have to go through in their training?"
Turning around, Ji Wan looked at Xiang Yang, who was speaking up for his general. But the name he called out was Lou Shao's.
"...I don't know." If he knew, the soldiers under his command would have been as powerful as Ji Wan's soldiers.
"Let's talk about food first. I can let them eat all kinds of meat, such as chicken, duck, fish, etc. Specifically, there are chicken, ribs, roast pork, freshwater fish, pig's trotters, pig's offal, mutton, beef, etc... Not to mention vegetables.
The staple food is usually steamed buns and flower rolls in the morning. At noon, it is a standard rice or bean rice. In the evening, it is usually steamed buns and rice.
Finally, each person gets half a pound of milk and an egg in the morning. At noon and in the evening, there are four dishes and one soup, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. A monthly dinner party is also organized to improve the food.
Lou Shao: “…”
He couldn't help but smack his lips. How extravagant was this?! How much money would it cost to support an army?
Xiangyang also widened his eyes behind Lou Shao. Is this person here to be a soldier or to enjoy life?
"Now, let's talk about the training standards. The first item: Run three miles without any equipment. You must do it in under a cup of tea to pass.
In my army, soldiers have to run three miles every day. The three-mile training is also an important indicator to measure the physical fitness of the soldiers.
The second item: Run five miles with bare hands, and you will pass if you can do it within two cups of tea.
The third item: Armed cross-country running of five miles, passing the test within two incense sticks.
Wearing a helmet, armor, combat boots, and carrying all the weapons of a soldier, usually a spear, an axe, a dagger, a water bottle, a backpack, protective equipment, and various daily necessities.
The load is about 40 kilograms.
Crawling, parallel bar curls, push-ups, sit-ups, crossing various obstacles, etc. ... I only mentioned a part of it. "
Lou Shao was dumbfounded: "Also? This... training this hard, people will be exhausted to death!"
On the battlefield, the soldiers under Ji Wan's command were the first to rush to the front.
The 10,000 soldiers brought by Lou Shao were just following the charge from the rear, and a few of them fell down from time to time, and some were even accidentally injured by their teammates.
Ji Wan: “…”
She raised her chin and said, "Have you seen these women on the battlefield? Some of them are trained more intensely than the male soldiers."
Xiang Yang was shocked: "This... How is this possible? How could those women bear it!"
"How can you not bear it? Wenzhi, Xiangyang, it's just that you have never thought about it.
I carry you with me and put you in my pocket just for you to see.
You are too arrogant, always relying on your numbers to think that only with more people can you win the battle.
It's too rigid. The soldiers they train are just like you. The soldiers' mortality rate is already so high, and you haven't thought about how to use your brain to teach them to change into more practical formations.
Instead, she's been jealous behind my back." Ji Wan glanced at Lou Shao disappointedly, then glanced at Xiang Yang, whose face was filled with shame, and stopped talking.
It was windy today, and Ji Wan's cheeks hurt from the howling wind on the city wall.
Lou Shao felt that Ji Wan's reprimand was like a sharp sword splitting his chaotic brain, and his cheeks were instantly stained with shame and embarrassment. Clearly, His Highness had not said anything unpleasant.
In fact, if it were not for repaying Xiling Mingyue's kindness, he would not have given up his position as a first-rank cavalry general, but instead ran to the border mountains to serve the little princess as his grandson.
