A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 271
Hundreds of men scattered like birds and beasts in a blink of an eye, and ran away in a blink of an eye.It's just running, the monk can't run away from the temple.The inspector came here to recruit soldiers. Seeing that those people were able to stand still and line up, how could such a good source of soldiers be let go.

Soon the inspectors brought people to the homes of the elders, and then asked the elders to bring Haoerlang from each family.Most of the village elders were served by Huai Guo soldiers after they retired.Huai State did not still need to serve at the age of 60 like Qin State, and the upper limit of service in Huai State was 40 years old.After the age of 40, soldiers who have not held more than [-] positions need to retire.

After retiring, these soldiers will serve as village elders, patrol arresters, patrol envoys, etc. according to their merits and positions.Use them to maintain Huai State's rule over the grassroots.

Since the establishment of Huai State, it has attached great importance to the grassroots people.At that time, the Huai Kingdom was established with a population of only [-]. If people were not valued, the Huai Kingdom would have perished long ago.

Unlike other countries that treat people as consumables, Huai country at least treats people as people, not a series of cold numbers.

After King Huai issued an edict to recruit soldiers, soon a large number of people who were proficient in spears and sticks and knew how to line up came to apply.These common people only need one month of training before they can become qualified soldiers.

Since ancient times, among the Xia, the soldiers with strong combat effectiveness have been small landlords or self-cultivated farmers with land. As long as rewards and punishments are clearly defined, an army composed of such good families can explode with super combat effectiveness.

Just after Huai State began to recruit soldiers, Qin State was also preparing for war.

The various materials accumulated in the last war have not been used up, so Bai Qi directly leads the army north to prepare to attack Zhao.Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Five Kingdoms to attack Qin, Zhao Guo captured Shangjun and completely occupied the plateau.Not only blocked Qin's offensive route, but also gained a bridgehead to attack Qin's army.

This poses a great threat to the Qin State. Originally, after Zhao Guo's Hufu riding and shooting, the national power became stronger, so Qin State found a soft persimmon to pinch, and beat Wei Guo and South Korea violently.Wanting to take advantage of the momentum of victory, he took advantage of the momentum to attack Hangu Pass, but was blocked back here in Huaiguo.

It happened that civil strife broke out in the State of Zhao, and the monarchs and ministers of the State of Qin all wanted to take the opportunity to recapture Shangjun.

So, soon Bai Qi took command again, and the Qin army did not disband immediately when it retreated from Shangyangyi. It only rested for half a month, and after replenishing some soldiers, the army went out again.

In Zhao State, a few months ago, King Zhao Wuling of Zhao State was starved to death in the Sand Dune Palace. This caused a large number of wise ministers recruited by King Zhao Wuling to leave Zhao State.At the same time, the nobles and ministers who supported King Zhao Wuling were also purged.More importantly, due to the outbreak of the Sand Dune Palace Incident, a large part of the reforms of King Zhao Wuling and Hufu riding and shooting were abolished.

The departure of a large number of nobles and officials also freed up a lot of power. The Zhao Wang Party, which was originally united, soon split and began to fight for power.

At this time, the Zhao court was in chaos, with officials and nobles vying for power. This chaos would continue for a while, and calm would return after the division of rights and interests was re-completed.Although it is not obvious yet, Zhao State's reform was interrupted and it has lost its capital to compete for the world.

But at this time, news came that Bai Qi's army had attacked Zhao.Zhao Wang quickly summoned a group of ministers and asked about countermeasures.The ministers have recommended the son to become the chief general Li Xin as the deputy general, leading the army to rescue Shangjun.

After Zhao Guo Hufu riding and shooting, the chariots have basically been eliminated, and there are only a small number of chariots in Zhao Guozhong.Zhao Guo conquered many northern Yidi tribes, and recruited a large number of cavalry from these Yidi tribes, which is why Zhao Guo's army was recruited very quickly.

Just after the Qin army attacked Shangjun, the Zhao army quickly rushed to support.

Bai Qi did not quickly send troops to capture Shangjun. He knew very well that the key to capturing Shangjun was to defeat Zhao's reinforcements, so he was in no rush to capture Shangjun.

The Qin army besieged the city and surrounded Fushi County, the prefecture of Shangjun, and built siege equipment, as if preparing for an army to attack the city.Li Xian, the prefect of Shangjun, looked worried at the endless Qin army camps outside the city.

The army has been besieging the city for several days, and the Qin army has attacked three times.The first time, he took advantage of the Qin army's attack and suddenly led a thousand cavalry out of the city. The cavalry countercharged and defeated the Qin army in one fell swoop.Then the fire burned the Qin army's engineering equipment, which greatly boosted the morale of the city. This time, the city could not stand for several days.

Next, Li Xian led the cavalry to protrude out of the city several times to countercharge the Qin army.Although the results of the next few battles were smaller each time, it was his counterattacks these few times that slowed down the progress of the Qin army's siege.

However, with the passage of time, more and more Qin Jun felt that the continuous compression of Zhao Jun's space for activities made Fushi County's defense more and more difficult.

Up to now, the army has been besieging the city for more than a month, and the Qin army has already captured the top of the city. If Li Xian hadn't led his people to counterattack and repel the Qin army, Fushi County would have been captured this time.

Seeing this situation, Li Xian decided to send people out of the city to ask for help.Before the Qin army besieged the city, Li Xian had already sent people to ask for help, but a month later, Zhao's reinforcements had not yet arrived. Now that Fushi County was in danger, he could only send people to ask for help again.

The night is hazy, and the moon in the sky is also covered by clouds. Under the night, Fushi County is like a giant beast.At this time, there was a creaking sound, although the sound was small, it spread far away in the night.

Soon the gate opened, and one after another black shadows appeared from the city. Li Xian led the cavalry again to launch a night attack on the Qin army.

A thousand cavalry quietly approached the Qin Army's camp in the dark. After about two miles away from the Qin Army's camp, Li Xiansheng ordered the army to charge out immediately. The distance of two miles was only a blink of an eye. Chong camp.Qin Jun was sleeping, and he never thought that Zhao Jun in the city would dare to attack at night.

As a result, Zhao Jun's cavalry continued to ignite the camps as if they had entered an uninhabited land, killing the flustered Qin Jun.Li Xian knew very well that they only had 1000 people, and the Qin army besieged the city with more than [-] people. If they stopped, they would be besieged and killed by the Qin army soon. They could only ignite the tents as soon as possible and create chaos.

Therefore, Li Xian led the cavalry not to entangle with the Qin army, but continued to create chaos in the camp, drove the Qin army away, and then rushed to the next camp.Each camp was set on fire, but Li Xian and others also felt that it was becoming more and more difficult.The Qin army gathered much faster than he imagined.

After seeing this situation, Li Xian immediately ordered to lead the army out of the camp and return to Fushi County.When the army returned to the city, there were less than [-] cavalry left.

"General, people have already taken advantage of the chaos to protrude from the Qin army's camp." The deputy general next to him said.

Li Xian looked at the Qin army's camp where the fire was gradually dimming and said: "I have done everything that can be done, and then I will do my best and obey the destiny!"
