Chapter 253: Everyone trembles
As for the marquis of Guannei, Liu Yao asked the Luoyang Imperial Court to get one for all the meritorious generals and strategists under his command. Although he is the lowest-level marquis of Guannei, for them, this marquis is a dream thing.
As for the size, they really didn't care. In their opinion, as long as they can continue to follow Liu Yao, what is a Guannei Marquis, as long as they continue to gain credit in the future, the Marquis of Ting, the Marquis of Township, the Marquis of County, and these above marquises, it will be easy. Even the duke's position may not be impossible.
10,000 assault battalions, 10,000 trapped camps. 90,000 Youzhou light cavalry, 50,000 Karasuma cavalry, 250,000 Youzhou infantry. The total was 410,000 soldiers. In addition, Liangzhou Cheng Yu Ma Teng has 50,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry and 30,000 infantry Liangzhou Legion, and Tianfeng has 50,000 Liangzhou cavalry and 50,000 Bingzhou infantry Liangzhou Legion. and the 50,000 sailors and 10,000 medical soldiers who are still in training, a total of 590,000 soldiers and horses, this is all the combat power under Liu Yao's hands.
Of course, this so-called full combat power is just talk. These 410,000 soldiers and horses are definitely not all of Liu Yao's strength, these 410,000 are enough to deter them, so he Liu Yao probably still has at least 200,000 soldiers and horses to spare, and he Liu Yao can't be stupid enough to tell others all his strength, so that others can prepare early. Therefore, it is necessary to leave some reserve people, and if you add these people, the total number is exactly about 800,000.
And the navy and medical soldiers naturally can't get it on the surface. First, there is no training at all, and it is unsightly. And these two armies can be said to be Liu Yao's trump card. It will never be taken out lightly until the critical moment, and a good knife should be used on a good blade, which is also true.
However, this is more than the previous 300,000 horses. That's almost a month of recruitment, and of course it's impossible to train anything in a month. Therefore, Liu Yao only asked them to do one thing, that is, to stand in a military posture, so that those recruits were trained to be what they are now.
Liu Yao's order to recruit troops has just been issued. The next day, countless young men came to join the army, and the initiative was not at all like that of other princes, and sometimes there were some coercive means to recruit a soldier. It can be seen that Liu Yao's reputation in Youzhou and Bingzhou is high.
For a time, a total of 410,000 Youzhou soldiers and horses stood solemnly in the open space of this military camp, and it was densely packed as far as the eye could see. But I can't see half of the scattered, which shows the elite of Liu Yao's army.
"The brothers have all worked hard, and today is my Liu Yao's wedding. We have already prepared food and drinks for all the brothers, so let's celebrate together. Liu Yao looked at the faces of everyone below with great satisfaction and shouted.
"Thank you, my lord! Oh oh oh!! Everyone cheered loudly at the same time, what it was like for these half a million people to cheer at the same time. Now Liu Yao and others have a deep understanding. Fortunately, they all know how to measure. After a while of cheering, they all slowly retreated in a neat formation. And Zhao Yun and the others naturally returned to the high platform.
And on the high platform at this moment, all the princes were dumbfounded, and they were all worried about their respective lords for a while.
"What do you think of my Liu Yao's army?" Liu Yao casually glanced at the various envoys who were in a daze, and asked with a smile.
"The general's soldiers and horses really deserve to be called the first army in the world, and they are really majestic." Liu Yao's question immediately pulled everyone back from their shock, and the envoy of a small prince hurriedly echoed.
"yes. Yes, the general's soldiers and horses ......" For a while, everyone echoed in unison. The group couldn't stop praising the strength of Liu Yao's army. I can't wait to hold Liu Yao up to the sky. How dare they say no at this time? Except for Xu You, the others were shocked and made up their minds, no matter what, after going back, they also had to advise their lord not to be an enemy of Liu Yao, otherwise it would definitely end up dead without a place to be buried.
And now Xu You wants to scold Liu Yao for being shameless a few times in his heart, and give them a dismount as soon as he comes up, I am afraid that when they see Liu Yao's soldiers and horses in the future, there will be a psychological shadow. How can this be fought?
This Liu Yao has an army of 400,000 in Youzhou alone, plus the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou and Liangzhou, there are at least 600,000 men and horses. And how many people can there be under their own hands. Now that Dong Zhuo may be the most, with six or seven hundred thousand soldiers and horses, he may be able to fight with that Liu Yao. As for the next most, that is Yuan Shao, there are still more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under his hands.
But it's not a level at all. Besides, most of Yuan Shao's army came within this year, and they didn't have much training, and they didn't go to the battlefield and saw bloody recruits. And Liu Yao's side is a team that has been established since seven years ago. Every soldier under the command of the land is experienced in a hundred battles, from Karasuma to the Yellow Turban, and from the Qiang to Dong Zhuo.
Every veteran who survived was a person who had been through a hundred battles, and he had a few or even a dozen or dozens of lives under his hands. If you put the two together on the battlefield. The murderous aura on those veterans is not something that Yuan Shao's recruits can bear.
And this class. The 400,000 troops in front of them now actually have 150,000 cavalry, accounting for about 40%. In the north of the Han Dynasty, the cavalry is the king. should be a worthy king, otherwise Cao Cao would not have blushed and wanted to come to Liu Yao's side to buy horses.
What is the concept of 150,000 cavalry, just Yuan Shao. Among the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command Yuan Shao, there are only about 20,000 war horses in total. But don't think that 20,000 horses are 20,000 cavalry.
This also said that the land of Dahan is not a dull place, and there is no lack of gravel ground. If you encounter this kind of terrain and the horse runs on it, it can easily get embedded in the horse's paw at any time.
In this way, this horse can also be said to be wasted, and without the war horse, then the cavalry is completely useless. But this Yuan Shao doesn't want Liu Yao, there is such a thing as a horseshoe. You can directly fight one person and one horse without any scruples.
Like other people's cavalry, such as Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, it is all a configuration of one person and two horses, of course, this is also the reason why Dong Zhuo has enough horses. In this way, the combat effectiveness of this cavalry can be maintained at all times.
It is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao's 20,000 war horses, even if they are all used, will only be 15,000 cavalry at most, compared with Liu Yao's 150,000 army, it is not enough at all.
The last point is the equipment. Needless to say, how can Yuan Shao's equipment be compared with Liu Yao's. Otherwise, he would not have sent Xu You to congratulate him, and at the same time, let him find a way to inquire about the research institute.
For a while, even he Xu You had the idea of defecting to Liu Yao, but he just thought about it, and he didn't want to do things under Liu Yao until he had to. There are too many strategists for this Liu Yao, and it is difficult for him to occupy a place. Moreover, Liu Yao's suppression of the family is too powerful, which is really difficult for him Xu Yu to accept.
And that Mi Zhu saw Liu Yao's army, and his eyes were also full of brilliance. He also knew that Xuzhou, where he was located, was a place of four wars, and he would definitely be dragged into the war in the future, and Tao Qian was also old, and it was estimated that he would not live long. But his sons are straw bales, it is impossible to protect Xuzhou, and he Mi Zhu will inevitably suffer from the war if he continues to stay in Xuzhou, but Tao Qian has a lot of favors to him Mi Zhu, and he Mi Zhu is also a little hesitant for a while.
As for Mi Fang, who looked at Zhao Yun and the others with envy, going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and being a majestic general, that was his dream.
On the contrary, Mi Zhen looked at the scene in front of her with lack of interest, she is a girl, how can she be interested in the military, it is better to look at them than Liu Yao, a "big star". (To be continued......)
