Chapter 905: Chapter 381 Northwestern Warfare_3

Facing such severe geopolitical challenges, the sense of crisis in Zhou Country was overwhelming.

So, after giving up Longxi Prefecture and evacuating the populace back to the country,

faced with immense pressure from all sides and consecutive losses of troops and generals, Zhou Country had no choice but to order the recruitment of another five hundred thousand soldiers, expanding its military force back to a million to meet the increasing demands of warfare.

With Zhou Country's remaining population of thirteen million, recruiting five hundred thousand troops and sustaining an army of a million was difficult, but not impossible.

While troops could be recruited, finding a general was harder.

Previously on the battlefield in Longxi, a Pillar State Grand General of Zhou Country was caught off guard by the Barbarians and directly surrounded by six Inborns. Without a chance to escape, he perished on the spot.
