Chapter 459: The Million War
"My General Ge, this time the Son of Heaven has mobilized a million troops from seven provinces to use troops against Ding Province, recover the entire province, and severely damage the Natural Disaster Legion! And you are responsible for commanding the army of the Water Province, as long as you succeed in a battle, there is no problem compared to becoming a dust clan, and your Ge family will be reborn! A young man standing next to Ge Bang, that is, Liu Bang, said with a smile.
This person's surname is Shui, he is a member of the Shui family, and he is a noble clan. Unexpectedly, at this time, he was extremely close to Liu Bang, a pariah, and many times he would even involuntarily brag about Liu Bang.
If other untouchables were to see this, they would not be able to understand what was going on unless their skulls were lifted and their brains were taken out.
And this is the strength of Liu Bang himself, it is normal for him to be able to let Xiao He be his subordinate, let Xiang Yu marry him with Jinlan, and let several princes call him brothers.
This is also one of the important reasons why Liu Bang can sit firmly as the general of Shui Province, he has the support of a part of the Shui family, otherwise a pariah, even if he is appointed by the Son of Heaven, will die normally for various reasons, after all, it is not too simple for the Gong clan to kill a pariah.
Of course, Liu Bang also received a lot of opposition, and the Shui family wanted to kill him more than once, but they were all suppressed by the Admiral Shenshou.
It's not that this admiral likes Liu Bang very much, but this admiral understands that their water province can not only keep their own territory now, but even expand their territory in Ding Province, all because of Liu Bang, a peerless military talent.
After all, when the armies of other provinces were still letting soldiers bring their own dry food, Liu Bang was already leading his troops to stand in a military posture, and this ability to train troops was visible to the naked eye.
Not to mention that this time the Son of Heaven decided to mobilize the armies of 7 provinces, concentrate on using force against Ding Province, and take back some of the lost territory.
Although it was nominally said to help the Ding family regain the territory, this time the army of the seven provinces started at the same time, which is equivalent to the seven provinces eating this piece of meat at the same time, and the Ding family can finally get the land back.
In the end, as soon as the Admiral of the Ding family dies, the Ding family, the former prince, may be wiped out.
Therefore, the current dispatch of troops is to grab territory, and it is a justifiable land grab, the Shui family attaches great importance to this, and the Divine Commander personally came forward to suppress all the opposition voices within the Shui family, and did his best to support Liu Bang's position.
Of course, the premise is that Liu Bang has to win, and if he loses in the end, Liu Bang will be the first guy to have his head cut off.
"How can it be so simple?" Liu Bang sighed and said, "Actually, I'm not thinking about how to win now, but how to keep our army so that it won't dissipate again in the rout." ”
“??” The young man of the Shui family was full of question marks, "I said, General Ge, you don't think that we have all mobilized a million troops, and we can still lose this battle!" ”
"Hehe" Liu Bang laughed dryly and said, "Brother Shuiliu, sometimes this kind of thing is not necessarily a large number of people, last month we fought 100,000 natural disaster legions, didn't we also win?" ”
"The most important thing in fighting a war is actually command and the ability to control the battlefield. At present, the army of our water province can only barely understand simple orders, and a slightly complicated battle order will make the soldiers at a loss. ”
"And the situation of the army of the seven provinces is even worse, if it weren't for the food sent by the Son of Heaven and the strict prohibition of letting the soldiers hunt and forage for food by themselves, this million army may still have 800,000 people hunting for strange beasts all over the mountains?"
"Such an army rushing forward is basically useless except to block our way forward and retreat." Liu Bangdao. "Is this true?" Shui Liu's face was suddenly full of worry.
Others may scoff when they hear Liu Bang's words, but as a person who has fought with Liu Bang for a year, Shui Liu is convinced of Liu Bang, and the man in front of him is simply helpless, and can use all kinds of unbelievable methods to deal with the Cataclysm Legion.
When other provinces are powerless against the Cataclysm Legion, only Liu Bang can continue to recover the territory from the Scourge, which is why Shui Liu can let go of the prejudice of identity and be a brother with Liu Bang, it is really Liu Bang is too good.
And now Liu Bang actually predicted the defeat of the coalition army, which naturally made Shui Liu's face full of worry.
"Isn't there any way to turn defeat into victory?" Shui Liu asked.
"Yes!" Liu Bang nodded, and then said unashamedly, "As long as the Seven Provinces Alliance Army is handed over to me for command, and at the same time let me train them for another two or three years, then it will naturally be able to turn defeat into victory, and even completely expel the Cataclysmic Legion is normal." ”
Liu Bang dared to say such a thing cheekily, in addition to knowing that the other side would definitely cooperate with him to act, but more importantly, he understood that it was impossible for the princes of other provinces to hand over the army to Liu Bang's command, and Liu Bang was bragging about something that would not happen, which was naturally full of confidence.
However, Shui Liu heard this in his head, but he also understood that it was impossible.
Soon, the armies of the seven provinces arrived one after another, all gathered around Xujiacheng, forming a super camp that stretched for dozens of kilometers.
On the other side, the Scourge Legion also mobilized millions of troops one after another, preparing to fight head-on with the coalition forces of the seven provinces.
Next is this million-scale war, and it is also the first million-scale super war since Zhou Guoguo.
In fact, a war of this scale is extremely rare in China, or it does not exist at all.
After all, the princes of China have always understood the importance of bragging, such as our boss Cao, whose 300,000 army was simply blown into an army of 800,000.
But even in such a braggadocio environment, the only war with a scale of more than one million recorded in the Chinese history books was only the Battle of Weishui, so there has never been a battle in Chinese history with more than one million participants.
But a battle of this magnitude took place in the White Elephant World, which is very magical.
One of the main reasons is the particularity of the white elephant world, under the theocratic caste system, and when this god and divine power are still real, a single order can make a large number of men come out to serve as soldiers, and there is no such thing as catching strong men.
Second, the real problem of a million-dollar war is logistics, and no government can guarantee the logistical supply of millions of soldiers.
But this time, the gods directly gave the space artifact, which carried hundreds of thousands of tons of meat, enough for a million troops to eat for nearly a year, and perfectly solved the problem of grain and grass.
As for the Cataclysmic Legion on the other side, this simply did not need food and grass, so it formed a real war of one million people that had never been seen in the history of China.
