Regarding Huang Zhong's love of war, Yang Tian naturally couldn't ask for it, but since he asked Guo Jia just now, he naturally had to listen to his opinion first, otherwise wouldn't it seem that his lord was going back on his word? At that moment, Yang Tian smiled and said: "Hansheng, don't worry, let's listen to what Feng Xiao has to say first!" ”
Huang Zhong didn't pester Yang Tian anymore, and immediately turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and the expression in his eyes clearly revealed a hint of it, that is, if you kid don't let my Sun Legion go into battle, there will be no good fruit for you to eat.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Brother Hansheng's legion is strong, and you are naturally indispensable in this tough battle, so don't look at me like this." ”
Huang Zhong immediately smiled and waited for Guo Jia to continue.
Guo Jia said: "The scale of the army participating in the defensive battle of the Yuyu Pass this time is definitely very large, not only in the Waguo District, but also in the Han army organized by Xuanyuan Sword, so we don't need to make any more efforts in quantity, we only need to send a strong army that can fight tough battles." In the opinion of his subordinates, there are four major legions that are most suitable to participate in this war, the first is of course Hansheng's Lieyang Legion, although the Lieyang Archers are archers, but their shooting level after dismounting is no worse than other archers of the same rank. The second is Ziyi's Yanlong Legion, with him and Han Sheng, it is suitable for both near and far, and it can naturally exert its maximum combat effectiveness. In addition, it is the Lion Legion led by Gao Shun and the Vermilion Bird Legion led by Hua Xiong, Gao Shun's Lion Legion is mainly based on its trap camp and is used to defend against natural indestructibility, while the Vermilion Bird Legion led by Hua Xiong is mainly based on crossbow soldiers, which is also very suitable for city defense battles. ”
Yang Tian nodded, it seems that he also agrees with Guo Jia's analysis.
The current major legions in Baiyun City have not only made great progress in scale, but also in the configuration of the legion leaders. First of all, the commanders of the three major legions were replaced by more capable people, namely Yan Xing, a military general captured in the Xiliang Rebellion, and Gao Shun and Huaxiong, who were captured in the Dong Zhuo Rebellion. Yan Xing took over the Storm Legion in place of Chen Kui. Then the Storm Legion was supposed to be a cavalry-based legion, because Yan Xing himself was a cavalry general, and as for Chen Kui, he was also the deputy commander of the Storm Legion at this time. Although he has now become a deputy position, due to the improvement of Yang Tian's status, his official position has also risen by one level, not to mention that he also knows that his ability is not as good as Yan Xing, so there is no unhappiness. As for Gao Shun, he replaced Pei Yuanshao as the commander of the Lion Legion. Pei Yuanshao was also reappointed as the deputy commander, and Hua Xiong became the commander of the Suzaku Legion.
Of course, it is not only these that have changed, but also the historical generals who have been captured many times, including Bian Zhang, after their surrender. They are also placed in the major main legions, serving as deputy legions with their ability, or the commander of the legions under the large legions, leading these small legions that make up the large legions alone.
Therefore, although Guo Jia only ordered the four major legions, the number of legions has reached about 1.2 million, and these armies with an average strength of the eighth order definitely have the ability to make other player forces envious and jealous. Because so far, even if it is as strong as Yanhuangcheng. The number of eighth-order soldiers possessed may not exceed 100,000, and may even be far less than this number.
Yang Tian immediately said: "With these four major legions, it is barely enough, but I think our several major naval fleets still need to be sent to the battlefield." ”
Guo Jia smiled mysteriously. said: "Don't worry, my lord! For our sailors, we have long planned for it. Afterwards, Guo Jia whispered to Yang Tian and Huang Zhong about his plans, and Yang Tian and the others immediately praised him.
……
Yang Tian and the others continued to wait in Luo County, but it had been two days since Sun Jian's army entered Dongting Lake. Liu Biao didn't make the slightest move. He waited until all the troops of the three counties arrived in Jiangxia City, and immediately ordered the army to board the ship. Tens of thousands of warships docked densely on the Yangtze River. It looks magnificent. But after these people boarded the ship, Liu Biao did not give the order for the army to set off.
I don't know what this guy's idea is. Is he going to spend it on the river like this? Or did he feel that after he put on this formation, Sun Jian would be afraid, and then he would be caught?
On the third day, Liu Biao's army finally moved, and more than five million troops from the three counties took warships to the direction of Dongting Lake, of course, these five million troops were not all sailors, many of them were elite marine regiments, and the purpose of their boat was to enter Changsha County as much as possible and complete their set strategic goals.
Liu Biao's army is naturally not only the five million army, but also a large number of players have also joined Liu Biao's command, these people have a trace of luck in their hearts, because in history Sun Jian died in the battle with Liu Biao, if he joined Liu Biao's command, he could be lucky to stay by Sun Jian's side at the moment of his death, wouldn't it be possible to get the soul of a first-class historical general? It's definitely a very tempting thing to do.
However, the number of ships was limited after all, so these people had to stay north of the Yangtze River first, looking forward to the failure of Liu Biao's army to conquer Sun Jian in the navy, and then let Sun Jian fight to Jiangxia itself, and when Sun Jian died, they would have hope to get a piece of the pie.
Liu Biao naturally didn't know that those players who joined his command were expecting him to lose the battle, and if he knew, he would definitely dismantle these people, because he was in a bad mood now.
When he ordered to board the ship three days ago, he suddenly got news that Sun Jian had obtained a hundred Sea King giant ships from the sunshine. Liu Biao hadn't seen the Sea King Giant Ship with his own eyes, but this didn't prevent him from knowing the metamorphosis of the Sea King Giant Ship, not to mention anything else, the speed and volume alone were enough to frighten many people.
The tens of thousands of three-masted, four-masted, and even five-masted sailing ships under his command would not worry about anything if they encountered these hundred Sea King giant ships on the Yangtze River, but in this Dongting Lake, he had to be cautious. Because Dongting Lake is too wide, it is just right for the activities of a huge warship like the Sea King Giant Ship. If you fight on Dongting Lake, your own losses will definitely be very large. This is also the reason for his hesitation.
But after waiting for three days, Liu Biao received a message, which made him feel at ease and waved his troops south, intending to do his best to meet Sun Jian.
It is not very far from Jiangxia City to Dongting Lake, and it takes about a day or so at the speed of a three-masted sailing ship. However, on the Yangtze River, if you want to launch a surprise attack on Sun Jian's army at such a distance, it is a basically impossible task. Therefore, Liu Biao didn't plan to hide anything, and came towards Dongting Lake with great fanfare. (To be continued)
