I was promoted to lieutenant general because of this great achievement at the border. All the negative smears against me were cleared, but I was not too happy.
There are serious problems at the border, and the situation is extremely precarious.
Thirty percent of the soldiers died in the battle. Judging from the data alone, they were not seriously injured or seriously damaged. After all, there were still 70% left.
But something actually went wrong.
In the chaos, the northern barbarians first killed the army that reacted the fastest and was the first to organize into an organized system.
Such troops are often the elite of the entire army, or even the elite among the elite.
Of the 30% of soldiers who died, 20% were such people.
To put it in extremely cold-blooded terms, although only 30% of the people died at the border, they were all the elite accumulated over the years at the border, and they were the elite among the elite.
It’s like a person’s bones have been taken out, and although there are many people left, it’s difficult for them to make a difference.
I felt quite sad that the most elite soldiers died in such a humiliating way under the iron hoofs of the barbarians.
If someone could organize and form a battle formation, not to mention the border being broken, this entire barbarian army might be able to stay here.
The Great Xia Kingdom has been established for too long, and many parts have rotted away.
Well, I don’t know how to deal with it, how to face it.
This shouldn't be a question I should be thinking about, but there's nothing I can do.
The border was in chaos, and the new border commander had not yet arrived.
The soldiers had no will to fight and just wanted to leave.
At the same time, no one was actually punished in this incident.
There was nothing wrong with the imperial envoy who executed the border lord.
The crudeness of his methods even made me suspect that it was very likely that the people above him deliberately killed people to silence them, or even deliberately killed the lord of the border, and then informed the barbarians, causing this chaos.
Even when executing a county magistrate, Ruihai carried out the operation quietly and found a large number of replacements in advance, and changed Jianyi silently.
The contingency plans in various directions were all done very well, but the execution of a border general was so hasty that it really makes me suspect that there are many tricks involved. Unfortunately, I only have the right to doubt.
The border is in chaos now. The real elite troops are not available just because you want them.
It is not like the leeks in the ground, which will grow soon after being cut. Even like leeks, it needs time to grow.
Now, the northern barbarians are watching covetously and will not give the border guards too much time and opportunities. I am very familiar with the northern barbarians and they will definitely seize this opportunity.
The northern barbarians have not truly retreated yet, and I suspect that more dangerous things will happen next.
After an anxious wait, a new general was finally sent here.
Bi Tingxiong is a great man who became a true general through his military achievements.
Rumor has it that he has a very close relationship with the current emperor and is his favorite.
This person is indeed quite capable and talented. Before he even arrived here, the corresponding transfer orders had already been sent to all parts of Daxia.
The top elite troops were transferred from all over Daxia. On the one hand, they were used to cleanse the influence left by the lord of the border. On the other hand, many elite troops from the south were used as the backbone to quickly restore the combat effectiveness of the border.
The northern barbarians had already figured out the combat mode of the Great Xia border, and they had learned and absorbed it better than the border soldiers.
After all, the northern barbarians are born with physical advantages. If they have weapons and armor of the same level and a strict organization, they will have extremely strong combat effectiveness in a very short time.
If we want to deal with the increasingly difficult northern barbarians, we must cut off the source of the problem.
Fortunately, the Lord of Daxia strongly supports Bi Tingxiong.
Before, Daxia was in turmoil and looked like the end of the world. Now seeing such policies and countermeasures, I can understand why we have been able to establish our country for more than 800 years. Every time there is a crisis, there is always someone to save the situation.
The northern barbarians invaded for the second time, and the border was once again faced with fighting.
This time I was not so confused. I was not afraid of the army and fought bravely.
This has been the norm for many days. After obtaining enough supplies, the northern barbarians did not rest and recuperate as they did in the past. They seemed to be aware of the weakness of the border. In recent days, they have been pressing forward and approaching the border again and again.
The former adjutant of the border became the commander of the border, but his courage had been frightened away, and he had been waiting in the posture of defending the city these days.
A heroic leader and general at the border was beheaded by the imperial envoy for no apparent reason.
This is an offense to everyone at the border.
It would be fine if the reason was clear, but he chose the most ridiculous reason.
Every time I think of this, I feel sad.
But what’s past is past, and there’s no way to bring it back.
This time, the battle at our border lasted for several months. Even when heavy snow began to fall, the barbarians still showed no intention of retreating.
Many soldiers at the border were already feeling timid, overwhelmed by the desperate attacks of the northern barbarians.
The most elite northern barbarians vaguely remind people of their most glorious era.
Travel across the north and drink from the Yangtze River.
They have gradually lost their courage. I know this clearly but there is no way to save them. The bones of an army have been broken and the most elite group has died.
The remaining soldiers are not beyond saving. If they can achieve great victory again and again in these days, even without too many, just one real great victory, they can gradually regain their confidence and train them into elite troops again.
However, the border commanders defended the border tightly and did not go out to fight. The soldiers sent by the northern barbarians were all elite, so it was extremely difficult to win in such an environment.
Even I am not too sure, and I cannot say that the border commander's judgment is wrong.
But if this continues, I'm starting to feel something is wrong.
As the heavy snow was about to fall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and good news continued to come.
The most elite soldiers drawn from all over the south have all arrived in the north.
Among them were elite troops who had been fighting on the southern coast for years, specifically against Japanese pirates. During their most glorious period, they even fought battles with a casualty ratio of 1:1000.
It is an army with real combat effectiveness and is very powerful.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, with good news coming one after another, but at this moment, despairing news came.
The northern barbarians did not retreat, and instead, having received the news from somewhere, they launched a massive attack on the border.
Outside the city, before the elite troops from all over Daxia entered the city, they came face to face with the northern barbarians.
The commander of the border ordered that the city be defended strictly and no one was allowed to leave.
