The 10,000 temporarily recruited volunteers were not ordinary people, they were trained in idleness, conscripted into the army during wartime, and worked in factories on weekdays, and the discipline of these soldiers was not much better than that of the elite soldiers in the Central Plains.

Such a formidable army marched north in the fifth year of Zehan.

Since half a moon ago, the vicinity of this hill in the northern part of Kyushu Island has become a huge military camp, and every day it is boiling with horse-drawn wagons carrying supplies.

The heads of the various battalions were in order, and they practiced routinely every day, shouting to kill the heavens. The men who carried the goods and food would always look at this army with a look of envy or pride.

Secrecy measures? Such a large troop build-up is absolutely rare in the world in this land, and there is not much secrecy feasibility, and Li Yang adheres to one point: strategic contempt for the enemy, tactical attention to the enemy.

So at the same time as the troops were assembled, the secret agents and detectives had begun to infiltrate the north, and Li Yang's woman Chiba had already stayed in Miyako Island and was about to get moldy, this time there was a chance to go out, if Li Yang didn't agree again, it was estimated that there would be a tragedy of murdering her husband.

Li Liang, the general of his subordinates, was appointed to follow the flanks, and two hundred rangers were broadcast for two people to deploy, and a small half of the cavalry team of the Oriental Han Kingdom was sent out in this way.

"The team of 200 people is divided into two, and we will see what the credit is." As soon as the team left the barracks three miles away, Chiba said to Li Liang.

Regardless of Li Liang's bitter face, Chiba pointed with a horsewhip: "Wang Zongchang, beckon your son-in-law to come with me." "After saying that, he rode his horse away, and he couldn't stop it.

can only be carried out by this fierce woman, if there is no division of troops, a hundred knights are also a strong force, especially cavalry, they can't beat and always run, so Li Liang smiled bitterly and let this woman go.

Turning back to Li Yang's side, the team had already begun to march to the northern border in batches, and the vast army of 10,000 people directly slaughtered the terrain and combat characteristics of the Ryukyu Islands in the north.

In such a narrow terrain, the 5,000-strong army is already overwhelming and directly demolishes all frontal forces, not to mention that Li Yang is still under the direct jurisdiction of heavy armored infantry, and he is not afraid that you will not engage in battle, but he is afraid that you will fight guerrilla warfare.

However, the mobile force of the Oriental Han Kingdom is also quite strong, and the volunteers are considered light infantry but higher than the light infantry, they are equipped with iron cuirass, which is far stronger than leather armor, and the weight has not increased significantly, plus everyone is fully nourished, and crossing the mountains and mountains is just a warm-up exercise before meals for them, and this battle has been won without fighting.

Surrounded by 5,000 armor warriors, Li Yang arrogantly played a dragon flag surrounded by golden threads, which was conceived by Li Yang with his own kung fu before the expedition, and was carefully woven by the best weavers in Miyako Island.

It was still all black, and a five-clawed golden dragon stepped on the white sun, raised its head to the sky, opened its mouth wide, and a crescent moon seemed to be about to enter its mouth.

Swallowing the sky and spitting out the sun, domineering Lingyun, in this small realm of the East China Sea, Li Yang already has the strength to call everyone, so he doesn't need to hide.

This tall and two-foot banner is indeed very conspicuous, will it become the target of many enemy troops? Indeed, this banner is a double-edged sword, once the banner is there, the morale is full, and the warriors will definitely fight to the death, but if the banner falls, then it is likely to face a complete rout.

But in this place, Li Yang is rampant, and the five thousand Wuyi guards are divided into five armies: front, center, left, right, and rear, which are commanded by five commanders, and in front is the Chinese army with the strongest combat effectiveness of the former army Zhou Nai, and there are also pro-guards that have expanded to two hundred horsemen, not to mention that his current long-range firearms are only between them and Dakang, Li Yang can't think of anyone else who can threaten him in such a formation.

He may face more powerful enemies in the future, but at that time, Li Yang's own strength does not know how much it will swell.

And the Dongying army in the north of the defense line can no longer be described as trembling at this moment, they have long become poor insects with grass and trees.

The spy secretly infiltrated Dongying, but the two hundred rangers that Li Yang scattered were simply swaggering into Dongying, and when the already red-eyed lord of the mountain city roared and mobilized thousands of troops to search for these scouts, the other party magically disappeared.

Don't forget, these knights under Li Yang's command are also natural jungle warriors, although it is difficult to move with a big guy like a horse, but it is still easy to play a disappearance in this torn defense line.

Chiba's subordinates are only more than fifty horsemen left, and the rest of the people have been scattered by her into small groups to gather information, after all, this is her business, and she still knows this clearly.

At noon, she had already stared at a fat sheep on the road, and in the col opposite was a team transporting grain and grass and baggage, although the scout team of the Oriental Han Kingdom entered the mountain city country of Dongying, but there was no large-scale killing, so the vigilance of these teams transporting baggage was not high, and more than 20 carts were escorted by a platoon of less than 100 people, thinking that the inventory materials in the nearby towns were sent to the front line.

With a few soft sounds, several arrows pierced the sky and penetrated into the bodies of the escort soldiers walking on both sides of the convoy, and a scream rang out.

"Be careful, enemy, enemy." A terrible voice rang out, and a neatly dressed officer immediately commanded his soldiers to assemble against him, he had already found the enemy killed from the woods on the hillside, and what frightened him the most was that the enemy turned out to be cavalry.

In this way, you can't run away, you can only fight to the death, and the team officer is also a warrior, and after thinking about the consequences, he firmly commanded his subordinates to start the formation.

But then he lost the chance to continue commanding the team, and a sharp arrow happily pierced his neck.

Chiba withdrew the crossbow from which the arrow had been fired, hung it back in the saddle, and drew the short spear from the holster.

"Kill" "Kill" More than 50 horsemen rushed into the enemy formation with the sound of the wind.

Chiba glanced around the battlefield, there should be no living left, and the farthest one who fled was also stabbed by the cavalry who drove from behind after running a hundred zhang.

Although Li Yang had said to these generals before the expedition that the north was a conquest rather than a plunder, it was necessary to win over the hearts and minds of the people, and no bloody massacres were allowed except for frontal battlefield battles.

This is also due to the need to rule this area in the future, but the current situation is obviously different, they enter the enemy territory alone, once something goes wrong, it is an abyss from which they will never recover, so their whereabouts and specific combat power must be kept secret.

In the past few days, I have encountered a lot of small groups of enemy troops, who are hoarding supplies in the big border cities, but they always feel that something is wrong. By the way, I haven't even seen a neatly armored brigade of men and horses in the past few days. Chiba slammed his hammer into the dirt next to him, this is the crux of the problem, he has been wandering in the territory of the Beishan Kingdom for so long, and a decent army has not seen it, this is too abnormal.
