Chapter 257 The Great Wall Shocked

As we all know, Da Qin mobilized more than 1.2 million troops in the beginning of the unification war!

But in the Qin army that numbered more than 1.2 million at that time, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were recruited by Daqin officials from all over Daqin temporarily!

After the Qin Dynasty ruled the world, most of the Qin army soldiers who were composed of hundreds of thousands of young soldiers after a short period of training have been sent back home to engage in agricultural and mulberry production.

In other words, the Daqin army was originally only a million people!

And after the unification war, although the Daqin army was victorious and unified China!

However, there were more than 200,000 casualties and 100,000 wounded soldiers before and after, for a total of more than 300,000 casualties.

After experiencing such heavy casualties, Daqin's original regular army only had more than 700,000 soldiers left.

Fortunately, after Sun Bin and the others surrendered, they assembled more than 800,000 troops out of millions of coalition prisoners of war.

After accepting some of the Great Wall armies of the former Zhao and former Yan countries, plus some scattered armies of the countries of the world, there are 800,000 people.

In other words, Daqin's current army has expanded to a terrifying number of 2.3 million, otherwise Ying Ji would not be able to use so many troops to fight the Huns and Donghu.

But today's Daqin also has a serious drawback, that is, the army is too large.

Moreover, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are mixed, and the general combat power is not strong.

Otherwise, Ying Ji would have pulled this extremely large Qin army out to kill the alien race in the north.

Not to mention the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Hundred Battles Armor Piercing Corps, which are so powerful that they are abnormally powerful.

Today, of the 2.3 million troops of the Great Qin, 500,000 are stationed on the northern Great Wall stretching thousands of miles under the leadership of General Ying Ji of the Qin State.

There are 400,000 people stationed in the south under the leadership of Bashu general Sima Cuo and Wuguan general Wang Ling to guard against Baiyue!

There are 200,000 troops stationed in the three counties and twelve counties of the Northwest Prairie under the leadership of Wang Xiaojie, the highest commander in the northwest of Qin State!

In addition, the original 200,000 Qin army elite regular army plus 200,000 were incorporated and integrated.

The elites who still retain a certain amount of combat power, a total of 400,000 Qin troops are stationed in various parts of China under the leadership of General Bai Qi of the Qin State, guarding the great Qin Jiangshan!

As for the remaining 800,000 troops, they were also stationed in various parts of China under the leadership of the surrendering generals of the world.

It's just that most of the combat power is dominated by the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and it is difficult to support a large corps and high-intensity long-term battles!

Therefore, when Ying Ji chose an expeditionary army, he did not hesitate to eliminate this large but weak army.

These armies were once the handwriting of all the countries in the world. Even elderly people in their 60s and teenage children were sent to the battlefield.

If the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are hurriedly eliminated from the army, it is very likely that the situation in the world that has just stabilized will become volatile again.

This is not the time for Daqin to take the line of strong and elite troops, and the time for Daqin to start large-scale disarmament has not yet come.

In today's era, it is still the tactic of crushing the enemy with superior forces to achieve victory.

Although these 800,000 weak troops are low in combat strength, there are also many soldiers who once had real combat strength.

There is no telling when it will be used, and it may even play a role in turning the tide.

Therefore, Ying Ji did not start to rectify the army drasticly, or it can be said that the time has not come!

...

"By the way, Xiangguo, Zhang Han's prisoner army has completed its mission, let Zhang Han bring the prisoners and soldiers back to Mount Li to station!"

After thinking for a while, Ying Ji spoke to Wei Ran again, and Wei Ran also replied with a promise.

"Everyone, this time my Daqin and Great Wall Army General Ying Ji have 500,000 soldiers, and General Tian Ji and Mr. Sun Bin have 400,000 soldiers!"

"Wu Lingjun Zhao Yong and General Ying Hua led 300,000 soldiers, and General Wang Jian and Meng Ao led the two big Qin Shuangbi legions of 200,000 soldiers!"

"This time, I, Daqin, have invested a total of more than 1.4 million troops. The purpose is to destroy the two northern alien races, the Huns and Donghu, in one battle, and lay the foundation for the prosperity of our Chinese nation. I hope you all encourage each other!"

Looking at the hundreds of civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Ji said loudly, and all the civil and military officials responded in unison.

"Great King Wannian, Daqin Wannian!"

"Great King Wannian, Daqin Wannian!"

...

North of Daqin, where farming civilization and nomadic civilization meet, at the corner of the Great Wall!

Just as people have disasters and fortunes, and the sky has unforeseen circumstances!

At this moment, it has clearly entered the season of late autumn and little rain. In addition, this is the northern grassland, it is reasonable to say that there is no heavy rain at all.

But the fact is not as expected!

I saw that it was pouring rain on the grassland at this time.

However, on a Great Wall, in the rainy night, the Great Wall, which was originally made of loess and bamboo and wood, became a bit muddy under the continuous heavy rain.

There are even some signs of collapse.

However, it was built in this connection of the Great Wall, and tens of thousands of civilians were constantly repairing the Great Wall under the supervision of hundreds of Qin soldiers.

At this time, everyone was struggling to save the Great Wall that was about to collapse.

The continuous heavy rain continued to hit the armors worn by the Qin army officers and soldiers, splashing bursts of water droplets!

Even many soldiers of the Qin army have been involved in the rescue process one after another, daring not to stop at all.

Because everyone present understood that what they rescued was not just a city wall made of mud and bamboo.

It is the front line and bridgehead for the entire Chinese nation to resist the alien races in the north!

"Everyone, hurry up, the Great Wall must not fall!"

...

"Brothers, work harder, the Great Wall must not collapse!"

But I saw it among the hundreds of Qin soldiers!

A centurion who seemed to be headed by these Qin troops spoke up, his tone full of urgency.

I saw that the centurion of the Qin Army, who was wearing black clothes and black armor, didn't look very old, and his age was in his early twenties!

With a dignified appearance, coupled with the shocking black armor, it does not look like a mighty feeling.

It is hard to imagine that such a temperament, which can only be found in generals, would appear in an ordinary Qin army centurion.

"General, no way, the Great Wall is about to fall!"

The condition of this section of the Great Wall was already worrying. At this time, a soldier of the Qin army stood on the Great Wall and shouted to the centurion below the wall.

The centurion looked at it, but found that the mud of the city wall in the middle of the Great Wall had been washed away by the continuous heavy rain, revealing its original appearance.

All are bamboo and wood spliced ​​shelves.

Even the rest of the Great Wall showed signs of collapse under the heavy rain.

"Everyone, run, the Great Wall is about to fall!"

...

"Come down, hurry up, don't rush to repair the Great Wall, it can't be saved"

Seeing that the Great Wall was about to collapse, the Qin army centurion hurriedly shouted!

Hearing the sound of shouting, the civilians and soldiers of the Qin army who were desperately trying to repair the Great Wall in the dark and heavy rain on the city wall hurriedly retreated from the Great Wall.
