All the generals were watching the sand table.

The geomorphological differences of Goguryeo are obvious. The terrain is inclined from southeast to northwest, showing obvious characteristics of high southeast and low northwest. It is bounded by the Great Black Mountain in the central part of the country, and can be divided into two major geomorphological areas: the eastern mountains and the central and western plains. The eastern mountains are divided into the middle and low mountain and hilly areas of the Changbai Mountains, and the central and western plains are divided into the central platform plain area and the western meadows, lakes, wetlands and sand areas.

The specific division of troops was explained by Guo Jialai, as the chief military advisor, this is his power and responsibility.

Guo Jia said: "We are divided into six armies to attack Goguryeo, and the strategy has just been said: step by step, all of them will be robbed!"

The first army is Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun is out of the ranks! ”

Zhao Zilong stood up: "The end will be!" Please, the military advisor commands! ”

Guo Jia pointed to the sand table and motioned to Zhao Yun: "I order you to take 15,000 iron horsemen of the Liaodong Army to sweep along the plains on the north bank of the Yalu River, what you need to conquer is here and here" Guo Jia pointed to the town targets on the sand table one by one with a wooden stick.

"The Last General's Order!" Zhao Zilong took the arrow.

"The second army is forbidden, and the ban is heard!" Guo Jia began to order again.

Yu Ban was very surprised, he didn't expect to call himself, and he reacted after a little flurging: "The end will be!" ”

"I order you to take 15,000 iron cavalry of the Eight Banners Army of Wuheng in Liaoxi, plus the 3,000 trapping camp in your headquarters. Sweeping along the plains on the south bank of the Yalu River, you need to conquer here and here," Guo Jia pointed to the town targets on the sand table one by one with a wooden stick. ”

"The Last General's Order!" Yu Ban also took the arrow.

"When I met the village, all the people were taken prisoner and escorted back to Liaodong! All the cottages were burned down! Guo Jia told them again: "This is the thousand-year-old plan of my Han people!" It is related to the life and death of the Han nation after a thousand years, and we must not be merciful and leave disasters for future generations! ”

Everyone was awe-inspiring, not only Zhao Yun and Yu Ban, but also other generals gave their hands together: "No! will live up to the instructions of the military advisor! ”

The third army was Tai Shici, who was responsible for leading 20,000 sailors into the Yalu River. swept away Goguryeo's ships and sailors; Pick up the army along the way, and carry and transport grain and grass. Tai Shi Ci also received the order to retreat.

The Fourth Route Army was Gongsun Gong, who commanded the 20,000 soldiers of Xuansu County, starting from Xuansu County and was responsible for sweeping the villages, tribes, and towns along the road until the Goguryeo Wangseong Maru converged.

Therefore, the end point of the armies of all walks of life is Marudu, and everyone must meet in Marudu.

After Gongsun Gong received the order, he did not immediately retreat. He had a difficult face, after all, it was the first time to lead an independent expedition, and he was not very confident.

Xu Miao saw his embarrassment at a glance, so he said: "I have an apprentice, Sun Li, who came to Liaodong eight years ago and is now 18 years old. He is proficient in military writing and strategy, and he is skillful in arranging troops. Can be given to you as the main thin! "In fact, it is for Gongsun Gong to be used as a military advisor.

Speaking of which, this Sun Li was abducted from Rongcheng, Zhuo County, when Gongsun Kang went to seek talent and visit the country. In the past 8 years, Gongsun Kang has summoned Sun Li every year and assessed several times. Knowing that Sun Li had indeed learned something, he nodded and agreed that he would be the master of Gongsun Gong.

At the same time, he opened his mouth and said: "I will send two more lieutenant generals Gongsun Mo and Zhang Chang to you, they are experienced in a hundred battles and have rich experience, and they can make up for the shortcomings of you and Sun Li!" ”

Gongsun Mo and Zhang Chang both started as small soldiers, fought step by step, and made military achievements. Among them, Gongsun Mo is still a member of the Gongsun family, and it is a branch. Because they also had a name in history, when they were promoted to the rank of thousand-commander, Gongsun Kang noticed them and began to focus on training.

Gongsun Gong was suddenly assisted by the three generals, and his heart blossomed, so he thanked him and retreated.

The Fifth Route Army was Xu Miao, who set out 20,000 soldiers from Shuai Lelang County from Lelang County and was responsible for sweeping the villages, tribes, and towns along the road until the Goguryeo Wangcheng Maru converged.

Xu Miao, this kid, can be literate and martial, and he is good at arranging troops, and he has the assistance of deputy generals. Guo Jia had nothing to tell him.

Instead, Gongsun Kang opened his mouth and said: "Jingshan, you can only command the Chinese army, and you must not charge into battle!" ”

Xu Miao asked puzzledly: "I'm a literati!" How could I charge into battle? "A pollution-free, obedient little white rabbit, everyone laughs.

The last way is Jia Yi. He led 20,000 Iron Cavalry of the Eight Banners of Goguryeo Army to support and protect the logistics of grain and grass transportation. The Goguryeo Eight Banners have all been naturalized as Han Chinese. They took pride in being Han Chinese and did not care about the looting and killing of Goguryeo.

Because Goguryeo itself was a tribal alliance, and the tribes often attacked and annexed each other, and had not yet formed a unified nation, they were easily naturalized.

Since it was a military training, Gongsun Kang did not set off first, and the military advisers did not act. Everyone waited in Liaodong, waiting for the armies of all walks of life to converge in Marudu.

After doing the math, Liaodong dispatched the six-route army this time, advancing by water, with a total of 113,000 soldiers. It can be said that the scale is huge! Ambition is bound to win!

Gongsun Gong led his troops from Xuansu County, and when he left the Great Wall, he faced the territory of Goguryeo.

The terrain he faced was meadows, lakes, wetlands, and sandy areas in western Goguryeo. The terrain is fairly flat.

The composition of the 20,000 soldiers of Xuansu County led by Gongsun Gong is very complicated, because Xuansu County itself is a multi-ethnic area, but the Han people still account for most of them.

Of the 20,000 soldiers, there were fifteen thousand infantry and five thousand cavalry.

There is no shortage of horses in Liaodong, but it is not possible to be a cavalryman who can ride a horse. The cavalry shall shoot arrows and slash on their horses.

In recent years, double stirrups, high bridge saddles, and horseshoes have been popularized in Liaodong, and these three-piece cavalry sets have doubled the number of iron cavalry in Liaodong.

In the three counties of Liaodong, most people have been dealing with horses since childhood, and more than half of them can ride horses. Now that I have a three-piece cavalry suit, with a little training, I can basically shoot arrows on horses and fight.

So three years ago, the number of Liaodong Iron Cavalry was less than 20,000; And now, you can pull out 60,000 iron riders casually.

is still the same sentence: saddles and stirrups were already being used at this time, and Gongsun Kang was not an invention, but only a promotion.

In the defense of Xuzhou, Xu Rong discovered Cao Ren's tiger and leopard rides, all of which were used with double stirrups and high bridge saddles.

Only the horseshoe, which is considered an exclusive product of Liaodong, has not been noticed yet. If you pay attention to it, you can imitate it the next day.

With this difference, you can use kite flying tactics to exhaust the alien war horses.
