Chapter 257 (1/2)

As everyone knows, Daqin mobilizes the army to a total of more than one million and two hundred thousand in the beginning of the unified war.

However, among the more than 1.2 million troops of the Qin state at that time, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were recruited from all over the country by the government of the Qin Dynasty!

After the great Qin Dynasty ruled the country, most of the soldiers of the Qin army, who were made up of hundreds of thousands of young people after a short period of training, have been repatriated home to engage in mulberry production.

In other words, the army of Daqin had only a million people at the beginning!

After the war of reunification, although the army of Daqin was victorious and unified China!

However, there were more than 200000 wounded soldiers and 100000 wounded soldiers, with a total of more than 300000 casualties.

After experiencing such heavy casualties, the original regular army of Daqin still had more than 700000.

Fortunately, after their surrender, Sun Bin integrated more than 800000 troops out of millions of prisoners of war.

After accepting some troops of the great wall of the former Zhao and Qian Yan, together with the scattered armies of other countries in the world, there were 800000 people.

In other words, the army of Daqin has been expanded to 2.3 million, which is a terrifying number. Otherwise, Ying Ji would not have been able to take out so many troops to fight against Xiongnu and Donghu.

However, 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 together, and the general combat effectiveness is not strong.

Otherwise, Ying Ji would have pulled this extremely large Qin army out to kill the northern alien tribes.

Not to mention the golden fire cavalry and hundred battle armour wearing soldiers, these two powerful and abnormal legions.

Today, of the 2.3 million troops of Daqin, 500000 are stationed in the northern Great Wall stretching thousands of miles under the leadership of Ying Ji, general of the state of Qin.

Under the leadership of simacuo, a general of Bashu, and Wang Mausoleum of Wuguan general, four hundred thousand troops were stationed in the south to guard against Baiyue!

Under the leadership of Wang Xiaojie, the highest commander in the northwest of the state of Qin, there are 200000 troops stationed in the grassland of Northwest China!

In addition, there was the original 200000 elite regular army of the Qin army, which was combined with 200000 troops.

There are still some elite fighting forces. Under the leadership of Bai Qi, the general of the state of Qin, a total of 400000 Qin troops are stationed in all parts of China to defend the great Qin River and mountains!

As for the remaining 800000 troops, they were also stationed throughout China under the leadership of the surrendering generals of all countries.

However, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. It is difficult to support large corps and high-intensity long-term operations!

Therefore, when choosing the expedition army, Ying Ji did not hesitate to remove this large but weak army.

These armies were once written by all countries in the world. Even the old people in their sixties and their teenagers were sent to the battlefield. It would be strange not to lose the war.

However, if the old and the weak are eliminated from the army rashly, it is very likely that the world situation which has just been stabilized will become unstable again.

This is not the time for Daqin to take the route of strengthening and refining troops, and the time for Daqin to start large-scale disarmament has not yet come.

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

Although the combat effectiveness of the 800000 weak army is low, there are also many soldiers who once really had combat power.

It can be used at any time or even can reverse the situation.

As a result, Ying Ji did not start to rectify the army in a drastic way, or it was not the time to do so!

……

”By the way, prime minister, Zhang Han's prisoners' army has completed their mission. Let Zhang Han return to Lishan Mountain with his soldiers and soldiers!”

After thinking about it for a while, Ying Ji opens his mouth to Wei Ran again, and Wei Ran also answers to say no.
