380 The poor army is in turmoil
There are still a lot of ruthless people in the old Liu family, although when he entered the palace, Liu Xie was lying on the dragon bed, and the wound was so tightly bandaged that he couldn't see the wound, but I heard the medical officer say that the wound had penetrated deep into the flesh, and Liu Xie probably lost a lot of blood, and his lips were white.
Lin Mo looked at the red blood marks on the bandaged wound, and couldn't help but scold: If you dare to play like this in this era, you won't be afraid of tetanus, right?
Just a simple greeting Liu Xie seemed to be weak and unwilling to say a word, of course, the most critical will was clearly conveyed, that is, to let Zongzheng Liu Ye go to Taimiao to worship his ancestors on his behalf, and the subsequent oath was represented by Taiwei Lu Bu.
It sounds like he still understands the righteousness, and he doesn't want to delay the last battle to recover the world because of himself, but Lu Bu already knows in his heart that his son-in-law's guess has been hammered.
This feeling is very amazing, you are acting, and I know that you are acting, but you don't know that I know that I am acting, for Lu Bu, Liu Xie's bitter tricks are just like clowns to entertain themselves.
On October 16, Liu Ye held the ghost and god diagram that symbolized that he could reach the heavens in both hands, and went to the Taimiao Temple to worship his ancestors under the guidance of the shaman;
On the other hand, Lu Bu had already summoned the generals above the military marquis level in the ministry to go to the school to swear.
In the past, when the oath was taken, in order to gather the number of people, all the team rate and above needed to participate, and even so, there were often less than 1,000 people.
But now only generals above the rank of military marquis are eligible to participate, but there are still more than 3,000 people standing.
In the sequence of military generals, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Ma Chao, Pang De, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others stood in the first column; In the Wenchen sequence, Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Lu Su and others stood in another row.
On the platform, Lin Mo was still wearing the official robe of the imperial court, and the sword at his waist could add a bit of majesty to him, and Lu Bu beside him had already taken off the official robe of the Tai Lieutenant, and re-put on his past head-swallowing beast face armor, Xichuan Baihua robe, and the purple and gold crown of the two dragon fighting treasures, plus the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand that formed a circle of light in the sun, the domineering in the world was nothing more than this.
The opening remarks, of course, are to denounce Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Ce as not being sons of man, and they are the one who is full of Hanlu and is a disaster, and the people of the world are devastated, and we, as the messengers of justice, must exterminate these traitors.
After some impassioned publicity, Lu Blanc made a final summary.
"Soldiers, this battle should be the last battle for us to dominate the world, after this battle, the soldiers can choose their own future, you can stay in the army to serve, you can also disarm and return to the field, return to your hometown with honor, and shine on the lintel!
No matter what you choose, I, Lu Bu, will never forget your merits!
But before that, you have to show me the momentum of the past battlefield and fight against each other. Calm the world! ”
"Victory! Win! Win! ”
The shouts of more than 3,000 people resounded through the sky, hovering over the entire Xuchang City.
Lu Bu was very excited, he liked this kind of scene, it could make his blood boil.
The soldiers were also very excited, they seemed to prefer to see Lu Bu in battle armor rather than the imperial lieutenant of the dynasty, because they all knew that Lu Bu in battle armor and Lu Bu with Fang Tian's halberd in his hand was the one who made the world fearful of Lu Bu, the invincible flying general Lu Bu in the world.
Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at Lin Mo behind him, who stepped forward willingly, pulled out the white rainbow on his waist, pointed his sword at the sky, and shouted: "Go on the expedition!" ”
At this point, the oath was over, and more than 3,000 generals went out of the city and returned to the camp to lead the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time to the south.
At the south gate of Xuchang City, Lu Bu, who was leading the wolf ride of Bingzhou, took the lead, and Lin Mo followed on a horse, not choosing a carriage, although it was comfortable, but it was too delayed.
On the road of Chengguan, Lu Lingqi held Chuan'er and supported Chengguo to watch her two most important men go on the expedition, praying silently in her heart.
Next to her is Guo Zhao, the black-bellied queen who is already four months pregnant, Xiao Qiao, who is always snow-white, and Zhen Mi, who is in charge of the world's business.
They stood in one corner of the city pass, and standing at the other end were Wei Yue, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were ordered to stay.
"This battle will definitely make countless brothers follow Taiwei and Sikong to go down in history," Yan Liang said suffocatingly.
Wen Chou glanced at him and said with a smile: "When Sikong asked you to stay, wasn't you very happy at first, why are you envious now." ”
"That is, Sikong and Taiwei treat our brothers as their own, can you not be happy, but envy is also really envious, our brothers have been absent from any major battles since the northern country."
Yan Liang only felt that his heart was tickled like a cat, and he watched them go farther and farther, and sighed: "I didn't cut off Guan Yu's head, I always feel that something is missing." ”
"Didn't you shave your beard?" Wen Chou laughed loudly.
Wei Yue patted one with one hand and comforted: "Okay, brother, didn't you hear Yunwen say, this place must be guarded by our own family, we still have big things to do." ”
"I love to hear Chu Nan's words!" Yan Liang exhaled a breath of turbidity and watched the former side-by-side battle robe go away.
"With this momentum, more than 300,000 troops, even the people with grain transporters, we are not an exaggeration to claim to be 800,000 troops, right? With this movement, after the news reached Jingzhou, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Ce were only afraid that they would be frightened.
It's interesting, in the past, fighting with Cao Cao has always been less and more, but this time it can finally be opened up to be a hero. ”
Lu Bu turned his head from time to time to look at the endless team behind him, not to mention how happy he was.
It's just that Lin Mo turned a deaf ear and didn't even respond to him.
"You seem to be a little absent-minded, but you were more excited than me when you went out in the past." Lu Bu, who was riding a red rabbit horse, tilted his head and looked at Lin Mo and asked.
He found that his son-in-law seemed a little dull today and didn't like to talk, so he quipped, "You can't be a lack of confidence, right?" Or are you worried about what kind of splash Liu Xie's kid can make? ”
"I don't know why, but I always feel that this time is different from the past, maybe it's because this is the last battle."
Lin Mo looked ahead, his eyes a little wandering, "It's not that I lack confidence, but I won't underestimate them." ”
At the end, he added, "I hope that Lord Yuezhang is too, and the crisis has always been approaching during the carnival." ”
Lu Bu smiled slightly when he heard this, and finally nodded, "It's a good thing to be cautious." ”
Perhaps because of the Battle of Chibi, which changed the pattern of the world in history, Lin Mo did not dare to slack off in the slightest from the beginning.
But at the same time, he also understands that his current self is completely different from Cao Cao in history.
At that time, when he launched the Battle of Chibi, there were actually many contradictions in the core, in addition to Jingzhou's civil and military affairs, the northern soldiers and horses were not adapted, the generals under his command were arrogant, and the rear was also unstable.
But Lin Mo not only has an absolutely stable rear, but even Liangzhou, which has just arrived, is also personally controlled by Zhang Xiu in order to prevent accidents, coupled with the joint efforts of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, Huang Zu and the four major families work together, plus the fierce sailor generals, it seems that there are really no fatal drawbacks.
If you have to say it, it means that there is only one Zhuge Liang who has never fought at all, which will make Lin Mo a little uneasy.
This is a legendary figure.
Of course, in this kind of alliance, it is actually unknown whether he Zhuge Liang can show his strengths, after all, Cao Cao is not Sun Quan, and just in case, this is also the only battle where all the strategists are united, even Liu Ye and Lu Su are all brought.
Lin Mo took a deep breath to adjust his mentality, I have already done everything I should do, and I must not be distracted at this time.
Cao Cao said well, the birth of a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Liu Jingsheng's son should be like a dolphin dog ear.
Originally, he was going to ambush Liu Bei, but if he didn't succeed, he was brainwashed by Liu Bei, and he felt ashamed, and he couldn't afford to be sick after being depressed for a long time.
But now the situation is urgent, Lu Lin's army has sworn in Xuchang, Cao Cao and Sun Ce have also begun to mobilize troops and horses to rush to Baqiu Ferry to assemble, Liu Qi is now unable to implement even if he has other ideas, so he can only hand over the power of soldiers and horses to Liu Bei again, at least in his heart, he asks for a down-to-earth heart, as if he is worthy of the title of Liu's descendant by doing so.
Of course, Liu Bei was appeased by holding Liu Qi, who was sick and had a blank face, claiming that this battle would definitely make Lu Lin have no return, and when the time came, he would definitely fight for him for the position of the lord of Jingzhou.
Liu Qi is not terminally ill, but Liu Bei's words no longer seem to be able to make him as excited as before, and now every step he takes and everything he does seems to be coerced, and nothing is done from his heart.
Therefore, Liu Bei's answer also seems very official, I just hope that he will not repeat An Feng's mistakes.
After Liu Bei, who had a heavy face, withdrew from Liu Qi's bedroom, he breathed a long sigh of relief, looking at the waning mountains on the horizon, and his mood was inexplicably heroic.
Lu Lin led an army of 340,000 to roll in, plus Jiangxia soldiers and horses, no less than four or five hundred thousand people, it can be said that the soldiers are good enough to eat, this rolling thunder is enough to sweep the entire Jingzhou, but this momentum not only failed to make Liu Bei's heart palpitate, but more of an excitement, even expectation.
The two Anfeng battles, one was calculated by Lin Mo, and the other was a careless defeat, especially the latter time, which directly led to the rebellion of Huang Zu and Wei Yan, and indirectly led to the change of ownership in Jiangxia, and at the same time, his prestige in the eyes of the Jingzhou military and civilians was swept away.
Therefore, for this battle, Liu Bei can be regarded as full of ambition, although the enemy is outnumbered, although the alliance is weak, but Liu Bei held his breath, just waiting for the shame, so as to rebuild his position in the hearts of the Jingxiang army and people.
"Uncle Huang, you called me here?" In the courtyard, Huang Zhong stepped over and asked.
"Hansheng."
In the face of this Changsha Daxu, Liu Bei has always been very respectful, patted his arm and asked after patting his arm to signal for exemption: "The big battle is imminent, Lu Lin's forward has arrived in the south of Run, how are the soldiers and horses prepared?" ”
"The sailors brought back by the lord from Jiangxia have been integrated with the original 3,000 sailors, a total of 24,000 people, and there are 18,000 people on the infantry side, led by Zhong Miao, and the harvest of grain and grass this autumn is good, and 50,000 stones can be raised, but"
Listening to the previous report, Liu Bei felt more and more angry in his heart, plus there were 42,000 people, plus his own garrison in Baqiu, it would be over 50,000, 50,000, I didn't expect it, it recovered to the number of 50,000 so quickly, but this 'but' made Liu Bei's heart tremble, and he raised his forehead and said: "But what? ”
"The ordnance is very tight, and the sailors brought back by the lord are not equipped, let alone armor, even the bow and crossbow can be done in a hurry, but there are only 50,000 arrows."
Hearing this, Liu Bei's brows couldn't help but tighten, the main battle of the navy is bow and crossbow shooting, and the 24,000 navy army only has 50,000 arrows, two per capita? What a chicken.
Huang Zhong didn't stop, "This is still secondary, mainly in terms of warships, our warships are very tight, there are only two hundred and twenty ships, two hundred red horses, fifteen fighting ships, and not a single sea hoof, not to mention the building ships." Moreover, most of them are converted from civilian fishing boats. ”
This, this, this. Liu Bei only felt cold sweat, the ship is the pioneer, two hundred and twenty ships, each ship can carry 30 people, that is to say, it can accommodate 6,600 sailors, Chima is a fast boat, 200 ships, each can carry 50 people, can accommodate 10,000 people, but the fighting ships are each carrying 150 people, the problem is only 15 ships, that is, more than 2,000 people.
In this way, the warship can only carry less than 20,000 sailors, and there are still thousands of people who need to walk, if a few more ships are damaged halfway
Liu Bei gasped, is he so poor?
Probably seeing Liu Bei's worries, Huang Zhong sighed, "Uncle Huang, this has already cost all our taxes to build, after all, the soldiers and horses brought back by the lord from Jiangxia not only have no warships, but also no ordnance. ”
"After working hard Hansheng, the warship will not be able to catch up for a while, as for the ordnance, I. I'll find another way, you can just let the soldiers set off as scheduled. ”
"That water master" Huang Zhong is embarrassed.
"The sailors who can't carry it will be incorporated into the infantry army first, and let's go to Baqiu with us."
"Whoa."
After Huang Zhong left, Liu Bei, who was still ambitious, was like being poured a scoop of cold water, cold from head to toe.
There are 24,000 naval troops, and most of the warships are civilian, which is naturally incomparable with the military, and this cannot be accommodated all, and the arrows are even poorer enough to be used as pants, two per capita.
Baqiu did have some weapons in stock, but they were only 20,000 arrows, which was far from satisfying the needs of a large army.
These problems not only affect Liu Bei's mood, but more importantly, they will affect the morale of the army, if the soldiers have nothing to do, they will probably not dare to go to the battlefield.
Thinking back to these days, Huang Zu led the navy to swagger back and forth in the Yangtze River to patrol, that battle, three building ships, equipped with eight sea birds, twenty fighting ships, thirty red horses, and fifty ships on the periphery, Liu Bei was drooling.
You must know that these are just brought out by Huang Zu for inspection, if everyone opens them out, God knows what kind of battle it is.
The only good news can only say that there are still 50,000 stone grain and grass, and the amount of money used in the early one or two months is no problem, but the people cannot be requisitioned, and the soldiers can only be helped.
After these two months, when the winter taxes arrive, it will be necessary to replenish the military rations.
As for the ordnance and warships, Liu Bei can only take Guan Zhang to the military camp of the navy now, and tell them that Baqiu is still there, don't panic, stabilize the army's heart.
I hope that Zhuge Liang can come up with some practical methods
