From Soldier To Emperor

　　 Grasping the military power with one hand and the support of the Han class and the bureaucratic class with the other. It is these two major measures that have allowed Richard to maintain the stability of the rear while expanding!

　　 also gave Richard enough energy to concentrate on the main force and fight with the main force of the Tufan Kingdom.

　　 Songtsen Gampo’s army is known as 200,000, but since the Tufan Kingdom’s one million bubble was punctured by Long Letian and Yuchi Yingzhe, the powerful Han people all know the characteristics of the Tubo people’s willingness to brag...

　　 Of course, I also have doubts about the number of 200,000 Turpan Kingdom troops.

　　 Actually, the 200,000 army that Songtsan Gambo claimed is really an empty shell, actually only a little over 10,000.

　　 There are just over 10,000 people, of which 50,000 to 60,000 are ordinary civilian servants, who are responsible for logistics and transportation and serving elite soldiers!

　　 Although the Tubo people are relatively wild, an ordinary Tufan strong man can dare to go to the battlefield with a knife, but the strong man is a strong man after all. Without military training, he is not as good as cannon fodder on the battlefield!

　　 As long as he is agitated by a brutal fight, the brave young man will be frightened and his legs numb. In fact, there is no young man on the battlefield who immediately flees for his life, he can be called very brave...

　　 This can't be made up for simply by being bold, just like there is a fundamental difference between ordinary people who have never killed people and thugs who kill people like hemp.

　　 Therefore, this so-called 200,000 army has only about 80,000 real soldiers, and of these 80,000, more than 50,000 are poorly equipped Turpan tribal warriors.

　　 Tufan tribe warriors are like the peasant rebels in the eyes of the Tang army, but their combat effectiveness is still good.

　　Those who can become warriors in the Tufan tribe are all sharp men who have seen blood and even have more than one life in their hands.

　　 Most of them have participated in **** battles between tribes, and they can be called a model of barbarians...

　　 Except for being too poor and poorly equipped, it is no different from the local garrison soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in terms of bravery alone.

　　 One of the best can even compete against the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty regular army field troops without falling behind!

　　 Of course, because these Tufan tribe fighters lacked regular military training, after they stepped onto the battlefield in groups, their ability to battle in formation was much worse than that of the Tang army.

　　 If Datang did not have the Anlu Mountain Uprising, the size of the Jiedu and the Four Towns of Anxi in the Western Regions had not split up, and were even bought by the Turpan Kingdom. With the strength of the Turpan Kingdom, it would be impossible to annex the united Western Regions!

　　 It was the Tang Dynasty's regular army in Anxi Duhu Fu who merged with each other, and it was not something that the Tufan Kingdom could deal with!

　　 Don’t look at the large number of people in the Tufan Kingdom, but Tang Jun’s younger brother is on the battlefield!

　　 Otherwise, how could the unruly Tubo people willingly become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and suffer from various cultural invasions, even Chinese has almost become the mainstream language of the Tufan kingdom!

　　 Datang did not turn the Turpan Kingdom into several provinces, but because the Turpan tribe was too poor and the terrain was in a plateau and mountainous area, the cost of conquering was too high, so it just turned it into a vassal state...

However, the army led by Songtsen Gampo still has a team that can fight. Because the Tufan Kingdom has a certain degree of autonomy, it has also accumulated a good family background when it is a vassal state. This time, in order to annex the Western Regions, it was Almost all Zangamboo was brought out.

　　 A full ten thousand iron armor is Songtsen Gambo's greatest confidence. These thirty thousand iron armors played a huge role in the previous battle of Kucha!

　　Especially the 30,000 Iron Armored Army also has a force of thousands of people, all composed of warriors and warriors from the Turpan Kingdom, and its combat effectiveness is half a point higher than that of the Tang Dynasty regular army field troops!

　　 In the Tufan region, where the weak and the strong are advocating, the most indispensable is the warrior who proves his strength through the number of enemy heads!

　　 These thousands of people were named the Tufan Guards by Songtsen Gambo following the military system of the Tang Dynasty. From the name of the Guards, Songtsen Gambo's ambition to become the emperor can also be seen.

　　 30,000 armored soldiers, including the Turpan Guards, are among the 50,000 forwards.

　　 The remaining 20,000 people are all Tufan tribal warriors. The rest of the Tufan tribal warriors and civil servants are actually used to maintain the logistics line and deliver supplies to the forwards.

　　 Although Songtsan Gambo is known as an army of 200,000, in his eyes, the elite main force of the 50,000 Tufan Kingdom is enough to eliminate Richard, who has only 20,000 field troops.

After the restructuring, there are only three field regiments in the field regiment, and the number of them is still nearly 10,000. In addition, Richard’s more than 9,000 Ming dynasty frontier troops, 1,000 five-barracks infantry, 500 Shenji battalion infantry, just happen to be The field force of about 20,000 is also the main elite force under Richard's command.

　　 Just as it is not too difficult for Richard to collect intelligence on the Turpan army, the other party only needs to spend some effort and money to collect intelligence on Richard’s army.

　　 This era does not pay much attention to the intelligence system. Even the former Datang bad guys are actually part-time spy informants. The bad guys are usually responsible for arresting thieves and other chores. The nature of the work is very complicated.

　　 The imperfection of this kind of intelligence system cannot be changed by a few orders from Richard, unless he invests a lot of money and human resources and slowly builds it from scratch!

　　 Obviously, the current Richard does not have that ability...

　　 He can't even find a person who is truly proficient in spy agents, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com has no relevant ‘professional’ in this era...

　　 can gather intelligence and understand the ability of scouts, he is already a master spy of this era...

　　Because of the incomplete intelligence system, the enemy and Richard only need to spend money to buy some locals

People can collect the amount of materials used by the opposing army, as well as the flow of other materials related to the army.

　　 The procurement and transportation of materials by so many people requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, and it is impossible to hide it!

　　 Therefore, apart from not knowing the ratio of the iron armored soldiers and the Tufan Janitors among the main forwards led by Songtsen Gambo, Richard has more or less clear information about other military intelligence.

　　 It's like Songtsan Gambo knows that Richard can summon Dao soldiers on the spot!

　　 Yuchi Yingzhe's defeat also allowed Richard to summon Taoist soldiers on a large scale on the battlefield, revealing his identity as a powerful and full-time Taoist summoner.

However, everyone knows that summoning Dao soldiers requires a great price, so Songtsen Gambo does not think that Richard can summon enough Dao soldiers to crush him. Otherwise, Richard does not need to summon one by one. With a hundred thousand soldiers, which city will not fall in sight?

　　 There is no such thing as hiding and clumsy in the war. Using power to suppress others is the most basic method of a ruler.

　　 In Songtsen Gambo's eyes, Richard did not explode an army of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, which only means that he could not explode at all!
