Chapter 377: Southward Expansion Plan

The Great Qin Empire, the Southern War Zone, within the Yuezhou Battalion!

The Yuezhou Battalion is the largest in the Southern Theater of the Empire, and it is also the military camp with the largest number of garrisons in the Southern Theater.

The Yuezhou military camp was established on the edge of the 100,000 mountains in the southern wilderness, with tens of thousands of black military tents stretching across the land, from which the sound of soldiers shouting and killing was constantly heard, and the sound of war horses neighing was also endless.

From a distance, you can also see teams of Qin soldiers patrolling the barracks back and forth.

The sky was full of sand and dust, and there were also teams of Qin army iron horsemen running back and forth, as if they were practicing some special formation.

"General Li Mu, how is the army drill going now?"

In the Yuezhou military camp, a tall, sturdy, and handsome general wearing a high-grade black Qin Army armor was speaking to Li Mu, the commander of the Twelfth Legion of the Empire.

And beside the general of the Qin army, there was also a young man in a dark robe standing here, and he was actually ranked alongside the person who had just spoken, and it seemed that his status was not low.

Li Mu, the Twelfth Legion of the Empire, was once just a centurion in the Empire.

Later, because he survived the Great Wall Incident, he was valued by General Gongzi Ji and was personally summoned by His Majesty the Emperor.

Since then, he has been on the rise, and in the first military reorganization of the empire, he was awarded the post of commander of the army by His Majesty, commanding 100,000 soldiers of the empire, ranking among the few powerful figures in the empire.

"Back to the deputy commander and the division of the army, the Eleventh Army was originally composed of some Shanyue warriors, some Qiang warriors and some southern Chinese warriors. ”

"Although the corps attribute of the legion under the command of the last general is the third-line baggage C-type army, it is also defined as a field corps, and the legion officers themselves are hard-working, proficient in mountain warfare, proficient in the characteristics of deep mountains and Daze, and have strong adaptability to mountain field warfare!"

"Now that two years have passed, it has been basically honed into an army, and only waiting for His Majesty's order, the 100,000 soldiers of the 12th Army Corps will immediately advance into Southeast Asia to expand the territory of the empire and strive for living space. ”

Li Mu, the commander of the Twelfth Legion of the Empire, looked at the two and said.

It turned out that these two people were Wang Ling, the deputy commander of the march of the Southern Theater, and Huang Xie, the division of the army.

"Yes, General Li Mu, now Your Majesty has an order to order my Southern Theater to step up military drills. ”

"The training content, plus how to fight and survive in the swamp and rainforest, etc., is afraid that the Imperial Army will soon be directed at Southeast Asia. ”

"In this military operation, due to the natural geographical location occupied by our Southern Theater, it has been personally determined by His Majesty to become the protagonist of this military operation, and has taken on the important task of expanding the territory for the empire, seizing resources, and alleviating the gradual shortage of resources in the empire!"

"But at the same time, this is also a miraculous feat, a miraculous feat, a miraculous feat that is enough to go down in the annals of the empire!"

Looking at Li Mu, Wang Ling said with some sighs.

Although the former Wang Ling had a high status in the Great Qin, he and his brother Wang served as the guards of the Eastern Hangu Pass and the Southern Wuguan respectively, and were known as the Shuangjie of the Great Qin, with 70,000 strong elite soldiers in his hands and a prominent position.

There is a nephew Wang Jian in the family, who serves as the chief general of the armor-piercing soldiers in a hundred battles among the only three titled legions in the empire.

Brother Wang is also one of the generals of the Qin army, which is the first military family in the empire today except for the royal family, which can be described as full of famous generals and glory!

"That's right, General Li Mu, this time my Southern Theater will assume the main force of the Empire's southward expansion plan, not only the Twelfth Army Corps under your command. ”

"Even the other two third-line baggage C corps in my Southern Theater, General Zhao Gu's Thirteenth Army Corps and General Zhao Hao's Fourteenth Army Corps must be mobilized at the same time, and we must ensure the smooth implementation of the empire's southward expansion plan!"

"In addition, from the imperial capital Xianyang, an envoy from His Majesty personally came to tell the general manager Sima Cuo that in the next month and a half. ”

"The Imperial Ministry of Finance will use the other half of its forces in addition to naval construction to accelerate the creation of a number of large-scale, wide-ranging weapons suitable for field operations in the mountains, forests and rivers for the army of our Southern Theater. ”

"The Imperial Fire Department will also give priority to supplying various cultivation pills to the Southern Theater to enhance the combat power and physical fitness of a total of 300,000 soldiers of the three legions in our Southern Theater, and pave the way for the upcoming new environment operations. ”

"Under the leadership of Minister Sun Simiao, the Imperial Wood Department has begun to work day and night to speed up the refining of various medical drugs and healing drugs for the Southern Theater, as well as new drugs used to deal with the miasma and poisonous fog in Southeast Asia. ”

"In addition, a 1,000-strong Kibe medical team will be dispatched after January to assist in the southern theater of operations. ”

"General Li Mu, your responsibility is very heavy, but this is also an opportunity, you should understand what I mean. ”

After Wang Ling spoke, Huang Xie, the military division of the Southern Theater next to Wang Ling, also spoke.

A few days ago, an order came from the imperial capital of Xianyang, ordering all the troops in the Southern Theater to quickly enter a state of readiness and prepare to implement the southward expansion plan that had been drawn up two years ago.

The oracle conveyed that the major departments of the empire were also operating rapidly, serving the war in the southern theater of operations that were about to carry out the southward expansion plan and advance into Southeast Asia.

The war machine slowly moved and gradually increased its speed, and a war beast that dominated the southern part of the empire also slowly woke up, gradually showing its fangs!

......

"Don't worry, the last general understands that except for the three titled legions, the twelfth legion under the command of the last general will never be weaker than anyone, and Li Mu will definitely not disgrace the southern theater. ”

Looking at Wang Ling and Huang Xie, Li Mu also said firmly.

Although the Twelfth Army was defined as the second-line B Army by the empire at the beginning of its establishment, the foundation of the Twelfth Army was excellent, and almost all of them were the elite of a hundred battles left after the Chu War.

In addition, it is composed of Qiang warriors and Shanyue warriors who are already warlike and brave, fierce and unmatched, and familiar with mountain field battles.

In the early days of its establishment, the real combat effectiveness of the Twelfth Army Corps was not inferior to the first-line A army of the empire at all, and now after experiencing the national run-in, the combat effectiveness and tacit understanding have risen sharply, and it can definitely compete with the first-line A army.

Otherwise, how could Yingji let Li Mu, one of the four great military gods, lead an ordinary second-line B army in the empire?

Li Mu's Twelfth Legion is also the most powerful legion in the Southern Theater, and it is the first of the powerful legions in the Southern Theater.

Just like Lian Po, he led the Eleventh Army, which was a mixture of Hu warriors and Xiongnu warriors and part of the Chinese Northland Army.

The real combat power can definitely be among the first-tier A legions, even if it is among the best among all the first-class legions in the empire, but it is only because of the national run-in period that it is listed as the second-tier B legion.

But it is conceivable that in Yingji's arrangement, these two legions will definitely be promoted in the future, and the promotion potential is huge!

ps: Let me explain, Blood Dance remembered wrong, the commander of the First Army stationed in Guanzhong was Huangfu Song, and Chang Yuchun was the commander of the Eighth Army.

Eleven Imperial Legions, the First to Tenth Legions, and Sun Bin's Fifteenth Legion.

The 11th Lian Po and Li Mu's 12th Army Corps are the second-line B Corps.

The thirteenth to the fourteenth regiments of Zhao Gu were the third-line baggage C regiments.

The Anxi Army, the Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Soldiers, and the Golden Fire Cavalry are the three titled legions, with a total of 17 officially established legions, with a total strength of 1.7 million

There are also 50,000 Lantian troops and 200,000 prisoner troops (not counting the millions of prisoners of war near Lishan) who are not included in the official establishment.
