The benefits were only one of the reasons why the San Pass defenders could maintain their high combat strength. The most important thing was that the San Pass defenders had a relatively complete military system.
The San Pass garrison practiced the " separation of battle and defense " system. The army was divided into combat soldiers and defense soldiers. The combat soldiers were the best treated and had the strongest combat strength. At the same time, they were the largest unit, with a total of 40,000 people.
Soldiers didn't need to do manual labor. The only thing they needed to do was to train and defend.
The 40,000 soldiers guarding San Pass were all stationed at the front line of San Pass City, which showed how much importance Wang Li placed on Great Hun.
Forty thousand soldiers would never be expanded. It wasn't that Wang Li didn't want to, but the population of San Pass was only four hundred thousand. The ratio of one to ten was the limit that San Pass could afford. Any more would be a war.
Wang Li was only a general stationed at San Pass. His 40,000 troops were already his limit. If he had more troops, he would be suspected of having more troops and lose the trust and support of the Chu royal family.
There are two kinds of garrison soldiers, one is the county soldiers, the other is the private soldiers.
The prefectural soldiers were mainly responsible for the defense and security of the 13 counties of San Guan. They were also the reserve force of the soldiers. Once the prefectural soldiers lost too much, they would be replaced by elites from the militia to maintain the continuous combat ability of the soldiers.
As the name implied, private soldiers were armies provided by the aristocratic families.
In name, there were only 20,000 county soldiers provided by the Chu court in San Pass. The remaining 20,000 soldiers were privately raised by the Wang family and could not be considered a regular army.
The reason why Wang Li was assured to lead 30,000 troops to reinforce Dai County was that he believed that the remaining defenders would be enough to defend San Pass. However, he did not expect the Liu family to rebel at this time.
While everyone was worried about the current situation, Wang Teng did not panic.
Li Shoucheng's face was ashen as he gritted his teeth and said,""Not only did the Liu Family collude with the Great Xiongnu, but they also colluded with the Heavenly Saints Association. They deserve to die. If I had known today, I would have agreed to the lord to get rid of the Liu Family.”
"It's not to the extent of collusion. They should be using each other.”Wang Teng's eyes flashed as he sneered,""If my guess is correct, there should only be two or three representatives from the Heavenly Saints Association. The Liu Clan was only using the Heavenly Saints Association's name to recruit troops.”
"Young master, there is something I do not understand. Since Liu tribe already had five thousand people, why didn't they continue to attack the other counties to expand their strength? Instead, why did they stay in San Guan City?”Wen Da, who was standing at the side, asked in confusion.
"The Liu Family is just trying to boil a frog in warm water," explained Wang Teng with a cold smile. The Liu family has a lot of troops, but most of them are new recruits. He is afraid that if they attack everywhere and force our army into a corner, once our army gives up on defense and gathers all the garrisons at each city gate, their forces will be scattered and we will defeat them one by one.”
"That's why the Liu Family didn't attack the other counties. Instead, they defended the Liu Family's mansion to accumulate their strength. The 5,000 new recruits might not be able to attack, but their defense is enough.”
"The Liu Family has already predicted that the enemy is right in front of us. Our army will not waste too much of our strength on the Liu Family. If we can't do anything to them, our army will shift our main focus to the Great Hun Kingdom.”
"We will never give up on San Pass, and neither will the Great Huns. Once we lose too many soldiers, they will definitely send reinforcements. At that time, they will be able to sit back and watch us fight to the death with the Great Huns.”
Wang Teng spoke unhurriedly, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary matter. However, the more the listeners listened, the more shocked they were.
If what the young master said was true, this Liu family was too terrifying.
"When both our army and the Great Xiongnu's forces are almost exhausted, the Liu family can take down the enemy at the lowest price.”Wen Yuan gasped in shock.
Now he finally understood why Young Master was in such a hurry to come back and suppress the Liu family's rebellion.
"Although the Liu Family's plan is brilliant, there are always people better than you. I think Young Master already has a plan to defeat the enemy, right?”Li Shoucheng looked at Wang Teng expectantly.
In Li Shoucheng's memory, Wang Teng had always been a resourceful person since he was young, and he had never panicked at all. Therefore, Li Shoucheng believed that he also hoped that Wang Teng would have a plan to defeat the enemy.
"That's right. Although Liu tribe has a good plan, I won't let them have their way. Today, I will personally lead a thousand elite soldiers to fight Liu tribe to the death.”Wang Teng smiled faintly.
"Wen Da, where is Wen Yuan?"
"I'm here!"
"Are you willing to kill the enemy with me?"
"We are willing to follow the general to the death, kill the enemy, kill the enemy!”
The wolf cavalry and wolf guards let out a thunderous roar.
Li Shoucheng pointed at Wen Da and Wen Yuan and said sternly,""You're putting the young master in danger!”
Wenda and Wenyuan smiled bitterly when they heard this. Wang Teng smiled and advised,"Mr. Li, how can we not take risks in war? Don't worry, I'm confident.”
Seeing that Wang Teng still looked calm and composed, Li Shoucheng was also infected by his calmness. He sighed and said,""Since Young Master has decided, then I have nothing to say. In short, Young Master must pay attention to your own safety.”
If Li Shoucheng had known that Wang Teng was already a Grandmaster, he would not have given such instructions. Even if Wang Teng could not win, he could still retreat safely.
If a grandmaster wanted to escape, only someone of the same realm or a higher realm could stop him. Generally speaking, martial artists below the grandmaster level would not pose a fatal threat to a grandmaster.
