"Um!"
"Sure enough, only the Northern Frontier Army is the most elite among the official army."
Su Fan also visited the Imperial Army in Luoyang City. The equipment there was indeed the best, and the training was actually not too bad.
After all, it is impossible for the imperial army guarding the capital to drink soldiers' blood like they did in the late Ming Dynasty. This did not happen in this era.
However, training alone cannot make a large army into elites. Elites can only be elites who have experienced many battles and are veterans of hundreds of battles.
Great Qin Ruishi became famous after experiencing countless battles.
The Imperial Army in Luoyang had never even experienced fighting against bandits. Soldiers who had never seen blood, no matter how well-trained they were, would never be a match for veterans on the battlefield.
Even though the physical fitness and equipment of veterans who have experienced life and death are not as good as these elite recruits, on the battlefield, the only test is to kill the opponent.
The border troops had been fighting against the Xiongnu and other grassland tribes in the north for a long time, and their character had long been tempered.
Moreover, all strata in the frontier army can be said to be very powerful. The officers at the grassroots level are all selected from the ranks of the army, and each of them is very powerful.
But unlike other places, officers are airborne.
In the border army, airborne landings are not impossible, but the prerequisite is that you can surrender these soldiers. The requirements of the soldiers are very simple, that is, you are strong.
As long as you are strong enough, they don't care. Although the military also pays attention to seniority, the people in the military are more convinced by the strong.
Because the strong can lead them to victory and lead them to victory in battles.
As for the high-ranking officers in the army, they are not held by ordinary idiot families. In fact, disciples from ordinary aristocratic families rarely choose to come here.
After all, the officers of the border army had meritorious service, but they were not taken too seriously. None of the generals who came out of the border even reached the position of Jiuqing.
As a result, the children of the aristocratic family naturally have no interest.
Moreover, the border troops are very dangerous. The various ethnic groups in the northern grasslands have recovered their strength very quickly in recent years, and each of them is very terrifying.
In recent years, many high-ranking officers in the border army have been killed or injured.
The risk is high and the benefits are not many, so it is naturally not taken seriously by the disciples of those aristocratic families.
Therefore, the border troops are mostly controlled by the powerful people in the North. Because they are in the North, they are threatened by the grassland all the year round. Naturally, most of them are born as generals, and the children of the family are all known as military generals.
Mostly.
These high-ranking officers and generals of the border army are not idiots. Think about it, after all, the border army often fights with the various ethnic groups on the northern grasslands. If they are really idiots, they will have been killed by those ethnic groups in the grasslands long ago.
Even if there is one at the beginning, I am afraid that it will either die on its own or be killed by one of its own people.
The border troops are very fierce.
Over time, naturally these officers became real and pragmatic strong men.
It has been several months since Su Fan came to Beidi.
The various ethnic groups in the northern grasslands, especially the Xiongnu and Xianbei, are now gradually recovering.
Because of the blood of the barbarians, these grassland tribes are indeed very physically strong, and coupled with the war horses on the grasslands, they have an advantage over those in the Central Plains.
The only thing that has an advantage in the Central Plains is soldiers and armor.
In this regard, although soldiers and armor can also be made on the grasslands, they are still inferior to those in the Central Plains. Technically, due to the barbarian sacrifices, it may not be much worse.
However, the only difference is that the scale of armor building between the two sides is that the grasslands cannot compare with the Central Plains.
In addition, the iron ore mines on the grasslands are far from comparable to those in the Central Plains.
The most important thing in armor is iron and steel. Without these two things, no matter how good the technology is, it will not work, especially the armor for large-scale soldiers.
The officers and soldiers of the Central Plains are much stronger than those of the various ethnic groups in the grasslands.
Although in terms of quality, the grassland may be better, but in terms of soldiers and armor, the role they play in wars is often greater.
Especially in large-scale wars, unless the individual's strength exceeds a certain limit, otherwise the war will focus more on armor and military formations.
In this regard, the Central Plains will always be better than the grasslands.
This is also the reason why the northern grassland barbarians have been trying to go south for hundreds of thousands of years, but they have always been unable to do so.
Of course, the barbarians have a long history, and the human race has never wiped them out.
If the human race Huoyundong wants to take action, it is not impossible, but under normal circumstances, Huoyundong will not take action easily.
After all, the barbarians are also one of the creatures of all races. The human race has always shown peace and tranquility to the outside world.
If one clan is wiped out at every turn, it will only make other clans jealous and fearful. If it is true that all clans are uniting with the immortals and gods to fight against the human race, then the human race will be in danger.
Naturally, the human race does not want this to happen.
Before, the human race was also in Kyushu. As for the other human races in the Three Realms, most of them were controlled by other forces, and the human race did not manage them.
The barbarians are actually just pawns of some forces that have been planted in Kyushu and are constantly holding back the human race.
The top leaders of the human race also knew it, but ignored it. With this chess piece, it was not only holding back, but it was also constantly tempering the Kyushu dynasty.
It can activate some of the human elites.
Before the Great Qin Dynasty, there were many elites in Kyushu. When fighting against the northern barbarians, they continued to rise and many human elites emerged.
Especially in terms of military strategists, there are many outstanding figures, all of whom have settled in the Fire Cloud Cave.
Without the northern barbarians, could these people be inspired? I'm afraid not necessarily.
But now, I am afraid that the barbarian chess piece has almost lost its use.
Due to the ban, the potential of the First Nine Provinces has been reduced, and neither heaven nor the human race has begun to pay attention to it.
In this way, the chess piece loses its function.
The second is the emergence of another world. The forces in the three realms are all focusing on that world.
In the future, all parties in the three realms will pay more attention to uniting allies, and the human race will be one of the top forces in the three realms.
Neither party will ignore it easily.
In this way, there is that force that dares to offend easily.
These Jiuzhou were unknown, but Su Fan guessed that he didn't care about the barbarians at all. If it weren't for the support of the forces behind them, they would have been destroyed by the Qin Dynasty long ago.
In fact, it was almost the same before. Back then, Meng Tian almost wiped out the Northland tribe. The Northland Army led by Meng Tian was also the most elite army in the Qin Dynasty.
And Meng Tian himself is also an extremely powerful person. The barbarians have strong people, but compared to Meng Tian, they are still inferior.
After all, as a general of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian had great luck and eventually became a Da Luo Jinxian like Wang Jian.
Although the barbarians have an ancestor to worship, they are no match for Meng Tian who practices martial arts.
