June 4th of the first year of the Beacon Continent Era.

The entire Beacon Continent sent away the cold winter and ushered in a spring full of vitality. The land covered with mountains and wilderness is full of green, which makes people feel refreshed when they look at it. The cold weather has gradually begun to warm up, and the people of Beichen Kingdom have also taken off their thick cotton jackets and put on single coats.

Xiao Chen is also very happy now, his sister's has finally come out. After the counterinsurgency war, I have been resting for two or three months in a row, and my eggs that I have no spare are broken. Now, spring has begun, and the temperature is neither hot nor cold. At such a good time, if I don't brush up my presence in the world, I'm really sorry for myself.

So, under Xiao Chen's decision and the approval of the rest of the generals, Xun Yu, as the prime minister, had to agree to the request of this group of war maniacs. Beichen Kingdom once again entered the period of preparation for war, which is expected to last for three days, and on June 8, the army held a pledge meeting at Xiping Pass.

Originally, Xun Yu planned to recuperate for a few months, so that the supplies such as grain, grass, weapons and other materials could be more sufficient. But he was still defeated by Xiao Chen's few words, and if his Beichen Kingdom can recuperate, then those guys in the west who have just experienced the Battle of the Hundred Cities can also recover some vitality.

In this way, the city that could have been easily won had to take a lot of effort to get it, and it felt like the gains outweighed the losses.

In three days, it was enough for Beichen Kingdom to mobilize all kinds of materials. Now the number of slaves in Beichen Kingdom has exceeded one million, because Li Zhaoliang's gang actually brought back most of the slaves in his hands. All kinds of roads, ditches, and other things in Donglin County and Annan County were almost completed, and the more than one million slaves were all liberated and joined the brigade that transported supplies.

In addition, during this period of time, the population of Beichen Kingdom also increased from 1.07 million to 1.2 million (only Donglin County and Annan County). The huge population base naturally represents countless soldiers and civilians, and 300,000 civilians have been recruited to take full charge of the logistics and supply of the army.

In addition, the army of the Beichen Kingdom has now grown to 610,000 regular troops and 90,000 servant troops. Among them, there are still two cavalry associations, namely the first cavalry association and the second cavalry association. The naval division has 70,000 horses, nearly 400 warships, and 80 troop carriers, which is enough to transport 80,000 soldiers at one time.

The 70,000 naval divisions were divided into seven associations, five of which were combat associations, each of which had one building ship, two vehicles and ships, five fighting ships, and dozens of ships. The other two associations are transport associations, each with 40 troop carriers. However, these two associations can be blocked at any time when the combat cooperation forces are insufficient.

The establishment of the Guards Association and the Yulin Association remained unchanged, and Xiao Chen, who originally planned to expand the organization, had no choice but to give up under the opposition of a group of people. Because the group of bastards in the army said that as soon as they expanded, they would definitely have to draw out a large number of veterans. This kind of behavior really hurts the combat effectiveness of the troops, and besides, those two associations have a large number of veterans, but they don't participate in the battle, what are they doing when they are expanded, do they think they have too many soldiers?

Well, the reason is very strong, and this king will not say anything. If you don't let the expansion be expanded, it won't be expanded, in the end, I'm the boss, or you are the boss!

The infantry had the 50th Division, from the 1st Association to the 50th Division. A total of 200,000 sword and shield soldiers, 200,000 Changge soldiers, and 100,000 archers. The servant army is 90,000 men and horses, with nine establishments, namely the 1st Servant Association and the 9th Servant Association.

The 61 associations of the whole army are not all in the territory of Donglin County, among which there are six infantry associations stationed in the four cities of Julin, namely the 5th Infantry, the 6th Infantry, the 7th Infantry, the 10th Infantry, the 11th Infantry, and the 12th Infantry Association. There are four associations stationed in Donglin County, namely the Guards Association, the Yulin Association, the First Infantry Association, and the Second Infantry Association, all of which are elite units in the army.

In addition, the armies of the three associations were also stationed in Xiping Pass, namely the Third Infantry Association, the Fourth Infantry Association, and the Eighth Infantry Association. There were five associations in Annan County, among which two were stationed near Ping'an City, the Eighth Infantry Association and the Ninth Infantry Association, which shocked the entire Annam County.

In nearly ten cities in Annan County, a total of three associations of troops were stationed. The 21st Infantry Association, the 22nd Infantry Association, and the 23rd Infantry Association, the three associations were stationed in several cities.

In the hands of Li Zhaoliang, who is distant and does not know the direction, there are thirteen associations, namely the 13th Infantry Association, the 14th Infantry Association, the 15th Infantry Association, the 16th Infantry Association, the 17th Infantry Association, the 18th Infantry Association, the 19th Infantry Association, and the 20th Infantry Association, and the 1st Naval Army, the 2nd Naval Army, the 3rd Naval Army, the 4th Naval Army, and the 5th Naval Army 50,000 Naval Army. The other two naval associations have been responsible for transporting various materials and giving the greatest support to Li Zhaoliang's soldiers and horses.

In addition, there are three assistant servant armies, 1 assistant servant 1 association, 2 assistant servant association, and 3 assistant servant 30,000 horses. Coupled with the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Licheng (and 20,000 soldiers and horses were transported in the end), the whole army of 190,000 troops, according to the establishment of the Beichen Army, that is 19 associations.

With an army of nearly 200,000, it must be enough for Li Zhaoliang to sweep the surrounding cities. Hmm, it's possible that Li Zhaoliang has already started fighting now. Therefore, in the oath of the oath this time, although there are these 200,000 troops on the order, in fact, it is the Western Road army and the soldiers and horses led by the old wolf who participate in the oath.

However, compared to the last oath, this oath meeting is indeed more lively. There are thirty-eight infantry associations, and the army of three hundred and eighty-thousand, this is only the strength of Beichen Kingdom, not counting the army brought by the old wolf.

9 Infantry Association, 24 Infantry Association, Infantry Army 25 Association, Infantry Army 26 Association, Infantry Army 27 Association, Infantry Army 28 Association, Infantry Army 29 Association, Infantry Army 30 Association, Infantry Army 31 Association, Infantry Army 32 Association, Infantry Army 33 Association, Infantry Army 34 Association, Infantry Army 35 Association, Infantry Army 36 Association, Infantry Army 37 Association, Infantry Army 38 Association, Infantry Army 39 Association, Infantry Army 40 Association, Infantry Army 41 Association, Infantry Army 42 Association, Infantry Army 43 Association, Infantry Army 44 Association, Infantry Army 45 Association, Infantry Army 46 Association, Infantry Army 47 Association, Infantry Army 48 Association, Infantry Army 49 Association, Infantry Army 50 Association.

The 5th Association of the Infantry Army, the 6th Association of the Infantry Army, the 7th Association of the Infantry Army, the 10th Association of the Infantry Army, the 11th Association of the Infantry Army, and the 12th Association of the Infantry Army stationed in Julin City also set off with the army. In addition to the three associations that followed Li Zhaoliang, the nine associations of the servant army also went out with the army, and the establishment was 4 assistants, 5 assistants, 6th assistants, 7th assistants, 8th assistants, and 9th assistants.

In addition, there were also two cavalry associations, the 1st Cavalry Association and the 2nd Cavalry Association.

Thirty-eight associations, 380,000 troops will continue to advance on the path of the last westward expedition. At the same time, there were also Li Zhaoliang's 16 associations and 30,000 allied troops, totaling 190,000 troops. The army of this expedition to the west was nearly twice the size of the previous one, and nearly 600,000 troops were dispatched in unison.

No, the old wolf hasn't sent troops yet! So, it should be more than 600,000 horses. In fact, the old wolf was indeed worthy of Xiao Chen, and he pulled over an army of 50,000 in one go, which just made the number of troops on the expedition exceed 600,000.

Xiao Chen was a little puzzled, that is, where did the old wolf come up with such an army! Li Zhaoliang has 30,000 men and horses there, and now he has pulled out an army of 50,000, and it is estimated that there are also 20,000 troops in his family. If you calculate it this way, it is also 100,000 men and horses, how can you get so many troops with just those three small cities?

In fact, the old wolf feels that his character is quite good. During the two southern expeditions, each time the Beichen army rushed to the front, and his own army picked up the bargain behind. This is also the reason why Li Cheng and Donglin City have also gone through two southern expeditions, but the gap between the elite soldiers in a hundred battles is still so big.

With Donglin City's army fighting the guns in front, the loss of the old wolf's troops was naturally not large. It wasn't until the end of the Second Southern Expedition that the old wolf found that his army had reached more than 40,000 horses. After that, he followed the Beichen army to fight to the west, and it was still like that, his own army came to fight soy sauce.

It's not that the old wolf's army doesn't make a difference, but that there is no place to sprinkle the strength. Attacking a city, before the old wolf's army is up, the front has already rushed into the city, such a battle, what do you say you can grab. I can only scavenge some things to comfort my little soul after entering the city.

In this way, until the system opened the uprising system, after the old wolf returned to Licheng, he swiped the lottery a hundred times. As a result, an army of nearly 20,000 people was drawn in one go, plus the soldiers and horses trained before. No, it accidentally reached an army of 100,000.

Only 370,000 horses participated in the oath this time, and the six associations of Julin City were there ready to attack and kill the city to the west.

370,000 men and horses, how many people have to have, and how much space they have to occupy. People who haven't seen it with their own eyes can't experience that kind of feeling that makes people's blood boil.

The black pressure is overwhelming, Xiao Chen stands on the platform more than ten meters high, and he can't see the end of the army, what a concept! Fortunately, Xiao Chen asked the army to assemble and swear in Xiping Pass, otherwise with that little place in Donglin City, maybe the front army had arrived at Xiping Pass, and the rear army was still in Donglin City.

In addition to the number of people who can't be seen at a glance, the countless Changge, swords and shields are also terrifying. A neat row of infantry troops, more than six meters long in their hands, stood on the ground, forming a dense Goering. Hmm~ Have you ever seen that cornfield, it's almost the same as the towering corn stalks. After you count 200,000 corn stalks, I believe it should feel about the same when you look at the whole.

Ignoring the dense Goering, looking up again, it was still dense. It's just that this time it's just a flag. With an army of nearly 400,000, how many flags are needed, even if there are 10,000 people in an association and only more than 100 flags, it is still thousands of flags.

Coupled with the fact that the boss of his family is here, the number of flags has almost doubled. The red flag, carrying a long cloth tail, swayed gently back and forth in the spring breeze. Red dyed the whole world like a monstrous sea of blood.

With so many people, Xiao Chen didn't say anything. Every time I go out and speak for a while, it is really unbearable. So, Xiao Chen simply didn't say anything, and after the snare drum beat three links, Xiao Chen directly ordered the army to set off.

The 400,000-strong army set out for the west one by one, according to the position in which they stood. When the first 10,000 troops were gone, there were still nearly 150,000 people still standing in place. After that, Xiao Chen could only wait slowly.

Although he is in the middle army, he is not able to run first at this time. Besides, a front army and a rear army, how many men and horses can be needed. Therefore, Xiao Chen had to wait slowly until all the armies were on the road. Then ride a fast horse and go to find the middle of the army, and then there is the Chinese army.

Looking at the large group of generals behind him idly, the first to bear the brunt was naturally Wang Ping, the general of the current dynasty, followed by the hussar general Luo Cheng and the Zhenxi general Ma Chao. Behind is the military advisor sacrificial wine (equivalent to the staff officer) Chen Gong, and the Zhenxi general Zhang Han. There are also several old ministers such as Da Zhuang, Zhang Jian, Luo Cheng, two god generals, two historical generals, one historical general, and a group of young generals gathered together.

What makes people feel incredible is that in front of the two god generals and the two famous generals, Wang Ping, who is at the level of a historical general, is the largest.

After waiting for a long time, the army finally set off. Xiao Chen also led a group of generals under his command and began to ride horses around the circle. The marching column of the 400,000 army is very long, a full twenty or thirty miles, and this is still the Beichen army has always marched in a formation of six people.

The main occupation of the queue distance is the countless carriages, and the supplies on each carriage are crucial for the army. Grain, grass, arrows, weapons, armor, and of course, the transport team behind them were even more abundant.

Don't think that the 400,000-strong army will be done as soon as it sets out, it's impossible. No matter how large your army is, and you don't have a special convoy to transport grain and grass, sooner or later you will starve to death of 400,000 horses. Therefore, all the 300,000 people recruited by Beichen Kingdom this time were used to escort supplies.

Let those slaves do this work, Xiao Chen is extremely uneasy. The transport team carried a very complete range of things, weapons, armor, grain, grass, vegetables, and everything. If those slaves were to be escorted, half of the people on the road would not want to do it, and then they would grab the things and run away.

In this case, what kind of way do you say, so Xiao Chen had to let the people who are also Han people transport it. Although it takes some money, once there is a problem with logistics and 400,000 troops are killed, there is no place to cry for yourself.

After all, you can't buy back what has completely disappeared
