But how can I put it, Yuan Shu also caught up with his good fortune. Originally, Yuzhou suffered from two plagues in history, causing the population to wither. If he wanted to collect as many taxes as before to complete Yuan Shu's expenses and raise troops, it would be basically the same.
Taxes on everyone tripled.
But Chen Xi’s early preparations in this life allowed Hua Tuo to suppress the plague seven years earlier than Zhang Zhongjing. In addition, Yuzhou is a grain-producing area, and the taxes set by Yuan Shu were actually not as good as those in the Central Plains after Yuan Shu had tortured the family over and over again.
Taxes in Shaozhou are still low.
Therefore, for these low-level people who have no idea but only traces, Yuzhou can indeed be said to be doing well during Yuan Shu's time. This is why after Liu Bei captured most of Yuzhou, there was such a fuss that Xun Yan needed to come to Yuzhou in person to take charge.
The important reason is that even if many of them were committed by Xun Yan, it still shows the difference between this world and history.
Naturally, Yuan Shu was really popular in Yuzhou in this life. Whether it was suppressing the aristocratic families or adjusting the tax levels every year, it was a pretty good benevolent policy. Even if Yuan Shu did these things and had nothing to do with the people, the effects they produced were,
The generals under Yuan Shu are still working harder than in the previous life, and of course the soldiers are more willing to fight for Yuan Shu.
"Today, our army may not be able to win, but the lord is still trapped in the battle. I am willing to fight to the death to rescue the lord! Those who are willing to fight to the death with me to save the lord, step forward!" Ji Ling was included in the elite talent pool.
The legion's talent has been stimulated to the extreme at this moment.
The will of the entire Ji Ling headquarters almost reached a high degree of unity at this moment, and all the soldiers stepped forward after hearing these words.
As the saying goes, "If the emperor regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, his ministers will regard him as a countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit." This is Yuan Shu's fundamental idea in this world.
There is no chance to let down the soldiers under his command.
Although Yuan Shu was not very kind to the soldiers under his command, in this era, the superiors did not even need to be the best, as long as they were not very bad, they would have too many followers.
As for Ji Ling, Liu Xun, and Zhang Xun, they were just like these people. Even if they followed the rebellious Yuan Shu in history, they never rebelled. They all died under Yuan Shu's account. Maybe their abilities were not very strong, but
Their loyalty never needs to be doubted, at most it is trustworthy!
So at this moment, stimulated by Ji Ling's almost peak legionary talent, and in the memories of all the veterans of Yuan Shu, all the veterans were willing to fight to rescue Yuan Shu!
"I would like to thank you all on behalf of my lord. There is no supervision in this battle. There is only one goal, to rescue the lord! Everyone, follow me and charge!" Ji Ling shouldered the three-pointed two-edged gun, took a deep breath, and turned the horse's head toward the center.
The camp rushed away.
All the personal guards behind him, without any hesitation at this moment, followed Ji Ling. They were no longer fighting for money and food, but actually had the treasures they must snatch back.
When the Kshatriya warrior army, led by Durga, appeared behind Yan Yan, it almost meant that the battle was defeated.
Just as Rahul had estimated, if a single general could withstand the attack of two elite military spirit corps with his talent, then this battle would not have to be fought. Even if Yan Yan did not have any extra means, he would be able to delay the battle.
It's enough to drag your opponent to death.
However, since Yan Yan did not make such a choice last night, it means that Yan Yan's legion talent that prevents the army from collapsing has an absolute upper limit.
The Kshatriya warriors rushed out of the center camp like tigers and directly inserted into the rear formation of the Han army. They withstood the gun array arranged by Yan Yan in advance and, while suffering losses, forcibly tore the Han army's rear formation.
The entire front line of the Han army was in turmoil for a while.
"Hahaha! Reinforcements have arrived, the whole army attacks!" Rahul saw that the Kshatriya warriors did not even pause in the face of the spear formation, and entered the formation decisively. He knew that the battle was won, and the center camp
Even if the Han army has the means, it will never be possible to win when faced with the pincer attack of the Kshatriya warriors who have overcome their mental problems and the gradually recovering Peacock army!
"Wu Yi, Wu Ban, retreat with the lord and go to the rear camp to meet General Ji!" Yan Yan knew that it was completely over when he saw the Kshatriya warrior army, even when Rahul was shooting arrows Yan Yan
He already felt something in his heart, but when he saw this scene, Yan Yan still felt sad, having fallen into Rahul's plan from the very beginning!
"General, retreat quickly!" Wu Ban roared in the direction of Yan Yan, "I will resist!"
Yan Yanli ignored Wu Ban's roar, shrinking the defense line as much as possible, reducing contact with the Kshatriya Warrior Army and the Peacock Army, and shifting the battle line to a single line of defense as much as possible. For this reason, he even cut off his warriors' wrists and opened the passage directly.
, luring the Kshatriya warrior legion to advance.
This is why Yan Yan's talent can withstand the dismantling of the army in the melee. Otherwise, just this time, the Kshatriya warrior army led by Durga and Rahul's Peacock army may forcefully destroy the entire army.
The Han army was dismantled and destroyed.
"Hahaha, the whole army attacks!" Rahul laughed wildly, and no longer rushed in personally, but instead commanded the army, looking for loopholes to prepare for the attack.
For Rahul, the most important thing at this time is to be fast, hard and steady. After Durga broke through the defense line of Yanyan's rear army, Rahul directly guided the Kushan soldiers with rising morale to launch the strongest offensive so far.
.
The frontal offensive was like a frenzy. When Durga's legion stabbed the Han army in the back like a dagger, it violently hit the Han army's frontal defense line. The Han army, which was attacked from both sides for a while, was forcibly
Several flaws were broken.
This huge crack in the formation was intertwined with the cracks created by Yan Yan. For a time, the Han army was almost in chaos. Moreover, unlike the flaws that Yan Yan had manipulated for guidance, this kind of forcibly attacked
The crack was filled with a large number of Kushan soldiers in an instant.
As a result, the Han army's Kushan soldiers were constantly looking at the length of the crisscrossed defense line. Yan Yan's plan to reduce the defensive area had almost not been fully launched before it was pulled in another direction. Even with Yan Yan's presence, the battle situation
Under his command, he also slid towards the abyss.
"Withdraw!" Lei Tong saw that the situation was not going well and immediately protected Zhang Ren, Liu Zhang, and Yuan Shu and withdrew toward the rear. Wu Yi and Wu Ban were using arrows to cover Lei Tong's retreat on the flanks.
However, before fighting from the front camp to the middle camp, Lei Tong, who is still in a stalemate, has long been on Kushan's blacklist, not to mention that Lei Tong's formation includes Zhang Ren, Liu Zhang, and Yuan Shu.
Big Fish guy, the moment the Kushan formation overwhelmed the Han army, two inner Qi separated from the body and led more than 2,000 Kushan soldiers to rush towards Lei Tong.
"Fire arrows!" Yan Yan constantly dispatched his soldiers to make up for the defense. However, facing the flanking attack of the Kshatriya Warrior Legion and the Peacock Legion, the defense lines constructed by Yan Yan did not have time to show their due effect.
Being torn apart by the opponent.
As a result, Yan Yan's desperate blocking did not buy much time, but he finally managed to withstand the attack before the two sides met. Although the battle line was still shaky, under Yan Yan's desperate defense, miraculously,
blocked the first wave of Kuishang's offensive.
At this moment, Yan Yan's brain had no time to think about other things. The sweat on his forehead kept flowing down. He almost instinctively dispatched his army, blocking, dispatching, and pulling the defeated soldiers back to the main formation to block and stop Gui again.
Frost soldier.
Cut off the outer defense circle and allow it to collapse. Reconstruct the internal circle array for defense. While reducing the contact area, maximize the use of its own deployable resources for defense.
The moment Yan Yan miraculously blocked the Kushan army with a crumbling circular formation, relying on various flashes of inspiration and exerting all kinds of instincts and talents to the limit, Yan Yan could not wait to rejoice that this wave of troops could retreat safely.
At that time, the Kshatriya warrior army and the Peacock army, which had penetrated the Han army, finally reunited.
The fierce momentum of both sides merged together, and Yan Yan clearly saw Rahul's smile standing on the elephant soldier's saddle. It was a victory smile that led to a complete victory.
Because at the next moment, Yan Yan clearly felt that the Kshatriya warrior army had taken the step of becoming an elite in the true sense by penetrating the Han army's main formation and raising its momentum to the limit.
At that moment, the momentum of the Kshatriya army was like an axe, cutting through the barrier blocking their heads. They were furious for a moment, and Rahul also looked up to the sky and laughed. They won. The Kshatriya warrior army folded back and forth.
No less than 400 were lost, but so what, this legion has taken this step, so who can stop it?
"Go up, destroy them!" Rahul pointed his sword at Yan Yan's circular formation and roared with some fanaticism. Since the restoration of the essence of heaven and earth, the first elite legion that purely refined energy into a gang appeared in front of mankind.
Powerful, extremely powerful.
As ordinary soldiers whose basic qualities have reached the point of refining Qi into Gang, their own strong qualities, when they form their own elite talents, will naturally reject the protection and talent effects formed by those who are weaker than themselves. The natural cloud energy will greatly suppress the legion.
The amplitude is reduced, and the cloud suppression effect of each legion is reduced.
As the Kshatriya Warrior Legion really took that step, Yan Yan had almost no way to resist Kushan's offensive. Just as Rahul estimated, Yan Yan's legion's talent was indeed terrifyingly strong, but after all, he had
A limit, and now this limit has been reached!
The Kshatriya warrior army cut through Yan Yan's circular formation almost as easily as a divine sword. The densely covered spears, defensive swords and shields, and the suppressing arrow rain faced this natural rejection of those weaker than themselves.
The gift of protective power has completely lost its meaning.
Even the strength of the Yan Yan Legion itself is not bad, but the cloud suppression formed by it is only 80% of the original level for the Kshatriya Warrior Legion!
