Great Martial Arts Auxiliary System

Chapter 171 Qi Pass
Jingzhou
Man Yuan County

Qiguan
For one month in a row, Shangguanxiong led an army of millions, and fought like a broken bamboo all the way, regaining all the land in Jingzhou that was occupied by the Nanman.

Today, only the Qi Pass leading to the barren state is still in the hands of Nanman, and a total of 500 million Nanman troops are stationed in Qi Pass.

Looking at Qiguan, which is located between the mountains, Shangguanxiong, the Lord of the Town, did not attack rashly, but steadily stationed [-] miles away from it.

Qiguan
Located in the west of the Wild Mountain Range, the Wild Mountain Range stretches for tens of thousands of miles, with numerous mountains and ravines, which forcibly divide Dayu from the Wild Land.

Qiguan in the west and Tianyuan City in the east are the only two passages for Dayu to go to the wild land of the barren state.

Originally, these two places have always been firmly in Dayu's hands, and his two troops have always remained at more than 50.

Even though there was a barren state as a buffer in the past, the guards of Dayu's court on this city and pass have never let down their vigilance.

The last time Blood God Marquis was assassinated on the way after inspecting Qi Pass, luckily he was not killed by the barbarians, otherwise, the Nanman might still be presumptuous in southern Xinjiang at this time.

The two military towns are now in the hands of the Nanman, and there are still millions of Nanman troops not inferior to their own.

This made Shangguan Xiong worry about him for several days. Similarly, Nanshenhou Xuetongtian also encountered the same trouble under Tianyuan City.

Facing the pressure of Dayu's army, Nanman did not fight against Dayu's army as before. He insisted on two important places and wanted to make Nanshen Hou Xuetongtian and Zhen Guogong retreat.

Nanman, who has a favorable location, is not stupid, and naturally he will not go out of the city (out of the customs) to fight with Dayu, two famous generals.

Nanman was warlike and committed suicide in his bones, so naturally he would not be afraid of field battles with Dayu's army.

However, in a war between the two sides, there must be a lot of casualties. Dayu is lucky to say that they have enough people to supplement their troops.

Even if they lost millions at once, they could gather millions of troops again in a short period of time. This was an incomparable advantage for the Nanman with a limited population.

Therefore, Nanman, who now occupies a geographical advantage, will not be so stupid as to run out and wrestle with Shang Guanxiong and Xueshenhou.

In the army commander's tent, Shangguanxiong was staring at the topographic map around Qiguan, his brows were furrowed, and he couldn't think of an effective way to attack after a long time of contemplation.

The wild mountain range is too big and too long, which makes Shangguanxiong feel extremely depressed. No matter how to attack, the wild mountain range is an insurmountable hurdle.

Thinking about it, I can't take millions of troops across the barren mountain range and go directly into the southern barbarian hinterland to fight.

If so, there is no way to guarantee the logistics of the army.

"General, Nanshenhou Military Daily."

Shangguanxiong took the military newspaper that Tie Ying handed over, and after opening it for a closer look, the content on it was similar to what he had guessed. Nanshenhou Xuetongtian was also caught in a dilemma just like him.

So, write specifically to ask about its next move.

The geographical locations of Qiguan and Tianyuan City are too important. Whoever occupies these two places, Dayu or Nanman, has the initiative.

Advance can be attacked, and retreat can be defended. In Shangguanxiong's view, the Nanman cannot be kept in his hands all the time.

Otherwise, in the future, if the barbarians come to southern Xinjiang to hunt grass and valleys, or seize the opportunity to harm southern Xinjiang, the consequences will be disastrous.

After pondering for a while, Shangguan Xiong said to his messenger:
"Repay Nan Shenhou, let him come to the city with his troops, hold back the troops first, and look for opportunities by yourself."

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

At this time, Shangguan Xiong suddenly thought that his grandson didn't know what was going on. He had been busy with military affairs for the past month, but he had no time to take care of Shangguan Qiuyu's affairs.

So, I couldn't help but ask:
"How is Qiu Yu doing now?"

"Young master, he has now entered the scout battalion, and even became the captain of the scout team." Tie Ying replied.

"Hold? What is he doing in the scout camp?" Shangguan Xiong asked with a frown.

"Young master, he was the first to rush into the city when he attacked the city of Hu, and he could have been promoted to captain because of his meritorious service, but young master, he refused.

As for why, I don't know, but it was Young Master himself who applied to be transferred to the scout battalion, and at the same time, got Zhang Heizi's consent. "

But Tie Ying said everything he knew.

The establishment of Dayu's army:

Centurion: The lowest-ranking officer in Dayu's army.

Military Marquis: In charge of ten centurions and thousands of soldiers.

Captain: An officer of this level can already establish a battalion of troops, usually around 3000, to manage the safety of a county.

Colonel: The mainstay of the army, the real powerful officers, each of whom controls nearly ten thousand horses.

It is the highest position that those warriors who are illiterate can rise to. At the same time, the martial arts of each captain needs to be at least above the third-rate realm.

At the same time, the post of school lieutenant is also the most hotly contested position in the army, because in the army, as long as you have the strength, you can challenge your superiors.

As long as you defeat the opponent in strength, you can replace him. However, those who have military merits cannot be challenged by him.

No-name general: No-name general is the lowest official position among generals, such as General Pi, General Pian and other random titles of generals, which fall into this category.

General Siping: For example, the official position of the three generals under Nan Shenhou and the head of the Nangong family is this position.

General Si'an: The highest military official in a state.

Generals of the Four Towns: Nanshen Houxuetongtian is the general of Zhennan.

General of the Four Conquests: Under normal circumstances, the imperial court is not often established. Only when there is a local rebellion or a conquest of foreigners, the leading general will be awarded this position.

General of the Fourth Army: Under normal circumstances, the imperial court is not often established. Only the generals sent by the imperial court to rescue when foreigners invade will be temporarily awarded this position.

General: The highest military commander among the generals, in charge of all the armies in the world (except the Yucheng army). During the reign of Yu, the position of the general has always been permanent.

However, each of their generals has one thing in common, that is, this position seems to be set up for the Shangguan family.

For a long time, the position of the general was held by members of the Shangguan family from the beginning to the end.

The position of Great General, like a hereditary title, has also become a hereditary position of the Shangguan family in disguise.

Therefore, this forced the royal family to create the position of marshal and set up a separation of powers to divide the power of the general.

Marshal: Nominally higher than the general by half a rank, he controls the promotion and dispatch of the army in the world, including the imperial army in Yucheng, who is also under his jurisdiction. There are three people in total.

"Hmph, this Zhang Heizi will really find trouble for me." Shangguanxiong said slightly dissatisfied.

Scout battalion, this is a high-risk occupation, and its death rate is slightly lower than that of the dead soldier battalion.

Especially for this kind of large-scale war, the first battle between the two armies is the scout battalions of both sides.

At this time, the death of the scout battalion was slightly greater than that of the battalion of dead soldiers who took the lead in attacking the city.

Of course, although the scout battalion is dangerous, the treatment is the best in the whole army, and it is also the place where the promotion is the fastest.
