117 Zhao Wu Wants to Escape
The infantrymen in the fifth barracks all had the combat power of the low-quality flesh-like realm, and they also had a tight military formation. As soon as they came into contact, they used huge power to push the frontal servants' military formation back, leaving behind scarred corpses!
The 500-strong phalanx pushed the way, and the Semi-men servants who blocked the Semi-men servants along the way had no enemies. Some Semi-men servants tried to avoid the sharp front and rushed to the side, but they were instantly chopped to the ground by the infantrymen of the Five Army guarding their wings and back!
The infantrymen of the Fifth Army were holding shields and wearing iron armor. The small number of crossbows used by the Semites' servants could not cause harm to them at all. They were completely abused after being put on melee combat. As a result, the formation of thousands of Semites' servants was easily penetrated by the infantrymen of the Fifth Army!
After the drilling was pierced, the infantry of the Five Army immediately divided into two parts and rushed towards the Seminister servants on both sides who had lost their formation. When the surviving Seminister servants saw the fierce infantry of the Five Army coming over, how could they have the courage to confront each other?
The Semi-minister Army, which was supported by both wings of the Zhaowu family, collapsed completely before it could reach the main battlefield of the central army!
"Can these soldiers be all elite dead soldiers?"
The elite dead soldiers were elite servants cultivated by famous families under the Tang Dynasty. They were orphans adopted by large families with a long history and were trained since childhood. They not only provided them with strict physical training, but also brainwashed ideological education since childhood, allowing them to develop a mind that they are absolutely loyal to the master's family and even died in battle for the master's family.
A crazy believer who is brainwashed by religion!
However, the elite dead soldiers cultivated by famous families are not only loyal, but also because they have been trained since childhood for more than ten years. They all have outstanding martial arts, and the worst ones can become low-quality martial artists!
Because if even a warrior cannot achieve success, he will be eliminated in training...
For the dead soldiers, elimination means elimination forever!
However, although the dead soldiers are easy to use, they require a lot of time and money. It would be great if an ordinary family could cultivate several or even a dozen people, and only a few hundred or more wealthy families had more wealth.
If you want to form an army of thousands of people with elite dead soldiers, it can only be achieved by the top wealthy and prominent families in the inland Tang Dynasty. Elite dead soldiers are also the foundation for those wealthy and prominent families to gain a foothold.
The infantry in the fifth barracks were fearless in fighting, and they were ready to die. They were very skilled and had excellent military formations to kill enemies. In any case, they were extremely similar to the dead soldiers raised by wealthy families in the inland Tang Dynasty.
But Zhaowu Dizhe couldn't figure it out, how could the wealthy families in the inland Tang Dynasty value poverty and few Han people away from the political center?
Because Richard's team was too large, Zhaowu Dizhe did not associate with Taoist soldiers at all. First, Taoist soldiers rarely had the same same as human soldiers. Second, Taoist priests who could drive thousands of Taoist soldiers to fight were extraordinary figures. Zhaowu Dizhe thought he could recognize them.
Anyway, in his impression, there was no powerful Taoist priest named Richard...
Zhaowu Dizhe had never seen Richard's ability to summon system soldiers out of thin air, so he naturally did not believe that Richard was a powerful Taoist priest.
However, no matter how confused the doubts are, the battle still has to continue. He cannot watch the battle be defeated, otherwise the Shi Guofu will be in danger!
This time, except for the guards of the Zhaowu family, he almost pulled out all the official forces of the Shiguo Mansion. If he had explained it here, would it be that the Shiguo Mansion rely on the hundreds of the Zhaowu family to guard the city?
The servants are very good at fighting, but the number of people is too small. Even the huge walls of the city are not satisfied with each other. How can I guard them?
As for the temporary recruitment of Min Zhuang, with the quality of the Richard army seen by Zhaowu Dizhe today, it is estimated that those recruited Min Zhuang could not even stop it for a round...
The Ming army camp on the central army battlefield performed very well, but the infantry of the fifth army camp, whose wings defeated thousands of Seminister servants, but none of them were killed, opened Zhaowu Di's eyes wide.
It is no exaggeration to say that the combat qualities of these infantry soldiers in the Five Military Camp are no different from those of the regular field army of the Tang Dynasty, and even the individual combat capability is one point higher!
Among the regular field army of the Tang Dynasty, only officers were warriors, and soldiers were just elite veterans.
In Richard's vision, the Shiguo Mansion army located on the third line suddenly lined up to retreat to the rear, intending to completely escape from the battlefield.
The other party wants to escape!
At this time, the Ming army camp on the central army battlefield had already gained the upper hand. The infantry of the fifth army camp, which had just defeated the brigade of Semuren Servant Army on both wings, was advancing towards the middle route, preparing to double-team. Richard still had thousands of elite cavalry reserves in the border army, and there was only a matter of time left to win.
Naturally, Zhaowu Dizhe will not continue to fight and lose all his capital. As long as the more than 2,000 regular Tang army field troops of Shiguo Mansion are protected, Shiguo Mansion can rely on the city defense to protect the city!
As long as the Shiguo Mansion can be preserved, the foundation of the Zhaowu family will not be lost. As long as time is delayed, when the army of the Tufan Kingdom arrives, no matter how powerful Richard's army is, it is just a weak force to stop the chariot.
This is the retreat that Zhaowu Dizhe thought of.
When he went on the battle, he never thought that it would be so difficult for him to withdraw his old lair to Shi Guo Mansion!
He has not yet figured out the details of Richard who suddenly appeared. He secretly made up his mind and when he returned to Shi Guofu to settle down, he would find out where Richard came from at all costs!
Richard's rise was too short. Before the Zhaowu family of Shiguo Mansion went to war, Tao Anbang, the governor of Anguo Mansion, did not take the counties and towns under Anguo Mansion seriously.
The Zhaowu family in Shiguo Mansion conquered, not to trip up against the Han gentry class. As long as he showed enough generosity, the Han gentry class in Anguo Mansion would never dare to resist in front of the army.
Anyway, whoever is the boss must maintain his status as a scholar, otherwise who will help him manage this huge territory?
Even after Richard captured Gaoxiang County, he did not act excessively against the surrendered officials and the gentry class who studied. He still collected taxes on the gentry class according to the original Tang system, rather than on the land.
In this world, the gentry class also had to pay taxes. Only the powerful military governors and princes did not have to pay taxes. However, the gentry class, like ordinary civilians, paid taxes based on the caps rather than the size of the land.
The gentry class often controls a large amount of land and relies on exploiting civilian tenants to make a living. Compared with the land area, that little poll tax is nothing...
This is one of the reasons why the gentry class can accumulate a lot of wealth!
