Chapter 925: Pre-War Mobilization

"My lord, after a month, Pingzhou has worked together and is ready for the expedition. My lord, please check it out!"

Liu Yi, with his helmet on top of his armor and majestic military uniform, reported loudly to Shang Ji.

"Okay! Brother, you've worked hard!"

Shang Ji said a few good words repeatedly, and looked at the army behind Liu Yi who was ready to go with satisfaction.

This expedition to North Korea is different from the past, because the space equipment is basically abolished, and the logistical pressure has increased sharply. Even with the support of wooden cattle and horses, it is impossible to dispatch millions of troops as before.

According to repeated negotiations between Shang Ji and Liu Yi, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others, the final number of troops sent was determined to be 2.7 million!

Of course, this is the main force of the army and the main force for attacking cities and conquering land. After the 2.7 million troops, there are still a large number of auxiliary soldiers. Once the main force captures a certain city, cleans up the resistance forces in the city, and ensures that there will be no major hidden dangers, it will hand over the city to the later auxiliary soldiers to ensure that the field group always has sufficient troops.

At the same time, the auxiliary soldiers also undertake part of the task of escorting food and grass to maintain logistics.

Among the 2.7 million troops, 700,000 are super elites who have spent the rest of their lives in the National War Continent with Shang Ji, and they are all soldiers of the lowest rank of sixth rank. These 700,000 troops will also be the main force in the main force to attack North Korea, playing the role of fist.

In addition, because North Korea has many mountains and hills and does not use cavalry deployment, the proportion of cavalry in the army this time has dropped to less than 20% unprecedentedly.

You must know that the cavalry ratio of the Pingzhou Army generally exceeds 50% when going out to fight, so this time it is directly cut in half.

Since infantry is the main force, Zhang Yun's pawns of hundreds of battles, Yang Cheng's mountain barbarian infantry, and Liu Yi's Xingyao Qiangbow naturally became the intermediate forces in this battle.

Especially the mountain barbarian infantry, which is specialized in mountain warfare, although it is only a Xuan-level special unit, but in the mountainous and hilly combat areas, the general prefecture-level units are not necessarily opponents of the mountain barbarian infantry.

However, the restrictions on the expansion of the mountain barbarian infantry are somewhat harsh, and the mountain barbarians must be used as soldiers. Fortunately, Liu Yi had already made preparations during Shangji's expedition. He negotiated with the left-behind Yanhuang leader and brought in a total of 300,000 high-quality mountain barbarians.

Adding the original 100,000 to the current 300,000, there are a total of 400,000 mountain barbarian infantry, and their combat effectiveness is quite impressive.

At the same time, Zhang Ying's Hundred Wars phantom soldiers also expanded to 200,000, plus 200,000 Xingyao strong bows, 100,000 Beihu war crossbows, 200,000 Sun-shooting soldiers, 100,000 guard swords, and 50,000 cold soldiers. Ice Shield Battle, Fifty Thousand Dragon Spearmen,

Together with some other arms, they together formed the 2.7 million army for this expedition.

Although there are not many troops, it is far from the super-large-scale battles that cost tens of millions in the National War Continent, but Shang Ji is still full of confidence in this battle.

Two million and seven hundred thousand troops, not to mention the seven hundred thousand battle elites, the remaining two million troops are not easy to mess with.

Although they did not participate in the melting pot of national war experience, Liu Yi and others did most of what they did when they stayed in Pingzhou was training the army.

Several top military generals trained the army for a year without any distraction in the case of abundant material supplies, and the effect was naturally beyond doubt.

There are more than two million main troops, millions of auxiliary soldiers, and even more servants. The manpower preparation of the Pingzhou Army is fully ready.

While inspecting the army, Shang Ji asked Liu Yi about the situation: "How is it? How is the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the army?"

"Report to my lord!"

Liu Yi clasped his fists together, and said in a full-fledged manner: "The lord is benevolent, and all the soldiers in the army are grateful. They are all willing to smash their bodies to pieces. All the soldiers are ready to fight like a rainbow, and they are waiting for the lord's order!"

Although Liu Yi's words were a bit exaggerated and suspected of flattering, they were by no means just talking casually.

In fact, a series of previously announced policies to benefit the people are in full swing, and Pingzhou's military morale and public sentiment data are rapidly improving at a speed visible to the naked eye. It is nonsense to say that every Pingzhou person is willing to go through fire and water for Shang Ji, but if there is an invasion of foreign enemies, the probability of Pingzhou residents spontaneously forming a rebel army to resist is far higher than other forces.

And because of the invincible record and generous rewards of the Pingzhou Army, all people in Pingzhou, including civilians, have certain expectations for the war. Joining the army and achieving class leap through military merits is the most common way for children from poor families and ordinary people in Pingzhou to get ahead.

This state is very similar to the state of Qin before Shang Ji crossed over. All the soldiers and civilians rejoiced when they heard the war, and enthusiastically supported the war.

By the way, another way to develop is to show extraordinary talent in all levels of academies and be admitted to Xiangping Academy or Yingchuan Branch.

"How about the enlistment of corvee? This is the first time we have enlisted farmers in a large-scale war. Are there any complaints from the people?"

In the previous war, there were space equipment, and the logistics of the Pingzhou Army was quite simple. But it is no longer possible. In order to supply the needs of more than two million troops fighting on the front line, even with a large number of equipment such as horses, vehicles, wooden cattle and horses, there must still be at least the same number of servants to assist in logistics.

A little calculation shows that, including the main army, auxiliary soldiers, and farmers, the total manpower dispatched by the Pingzhou Army is nearly 7 million.

According to the usual practice, Shang Ji can claim that he is a country with tens of millions of troops conquering dissenting subjects. If he is thick-skinned, he can say that he has an army of 20 million.

"Don't worry, my lord. Not only are the people not opposed to the conquest of corvee, but they are rushing to sign up. If there is a need, it will be easy to recruit twice as many people."

Deng Yan, who was on the other side of the business, gave a report.

Although it is nominally a collection of corvee, but because the merchants have a lot of money, Pingzhou has formulated new rules. All the people who serve in corvee can not only exempt a certain amount of next year's tax according to the service time (this year's tax has been exempted), You can also receive a considerable salary.

And in order to ensure the safety of the slaves, the Pingzhou Army also conducted simple training for the slaves—really simple training. The combat effectiveness of these slaves is probably not as good as that of the original Yellow Turban Army.

However, Shang Ji is a local tyrant, neither short of money nor equipment, and directly equips these servants with fairly good quality equipment. If it is replaced by the princes of the inland, these weapons and armor and other equipment for the regular army will not look shabby.

Of course, because they are servants, their job is to transport food, grass and equipment. The equipment of these servants is based on the premise of being simple and portable, mainly light leather armor and swords, and there are basically no heavy weapons.

In addition, Shang Ji also issued an order that all servants who kill the enemy during the war will enjoy the same rewards as the regular army, and those who perform well will have the opportunity to be transferred to several elite main forces to complete the transformation from servants to soldiers .

Many civilians who have no chance to join the army regard corvee service as an important step to enter the Pingzhou army system, and they all rush to sign up.

If the limit is called, let alone three million, it is no problem to double it by ten times.

This is also one of the important reasons for Shang Ji's daring decision to swallow Lee's North Korea!
