Chapter 368: The main force is 300,000
"The Guards Legion retains the three major legions, and the 'Tiger Ben' Legion is newly established. The establishment of the Xiliang Legion was abolished, and the three infantry legions and the three cavalry legions were retained, and four new corps of 'Tiebi', 'Qingzhou', 'Shensu', and 'Tiger and Leopard' were established. ”
Chu Tian thought about it again and again, and finally decided to set up four guard legions, ten main legions, and one servant legion.
The Tiger Legion is a heavy cavalry corps, with the Tiger Ben Army and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry as the main core, supplemented by ordinary heavy cavalry. The commander of the Tiger Ben Army is Tai Shi Ci, temporarily organized as a thousand cavalry, and the commander of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is Hua Xiong, with a thousand cavalry, and then three thousand ordinary heavy cavalry (fourth order) are configured, a total of five thousand heavy cavalry.
The Tiger Ben Legion directly eats Chu Tian's bonus, and only when Chu Tian divides his troops to Tai Shi Ci and Hua Xiong to pursue the enemy, Tai Shi Ci and Hua Xiong's bonuses are applied.
Although the establishment of the Tiger Legion, which is dominated by heavy cavalry, is only 5,000 people, the heavy cavalry, as a decisive battle branch, has a huge investment, and the cost of 5,000 heavy cavalry is equivalent to the cost of tens of thousands of infantry, or even 100,000 infantry.
There are five schools in the Northern Army, each with 3,000 people, a total of 15,000.
Chutian arranged Dian Wei to the fifth school of the Northern Army. Dian Wei has a special type of tiger guard, only 500 people, all of whom are selected pawns, and they often go into battle first in every battle.
[Name]: Dian Wei
[Commander]: 57 [Force]: 98 [Intelligence]: 35 [Politics]: 14 [Charisma]: 58
[Phase]: loyalty
[Trait 1]: Ancient Evil (SS-level trait, when trapped, self attack +30%, physical strength drop speed -30%, surrounding enemies are afraid of Dian Wei)
[Trait 2]: Strike first (S-rank trait, when attacking or trapping, your soldiers' attack is +18%)
[Trait 3]: Death Protector (S-rank trait, loyalty is not easy to decrease, when the lord/monarch/prince is in danger, the more serious the self's injury, the greater the increase in ability)
[Special Class]: Tiger Guard (Eighth-order heavy infantry, with a maximum of 500, high requirements for the quality of soldiers)
Dian Wei is a very practical escort general, but Dian Wei's command ability is only suitable for carrying a few soldiers and horses, and a thousand soldiers are already the limit. Dian Wei is the best fit to bring hundreds of people. The Tiger Guard is the most suitable class for Dian Wei.
In addition, Chutian recruited Mi Fang, Wu Anguo, Lu Kuang and other god generals to join the Fifth School of the Northern Army. The five schools of the Northern Army can have Chutian's bonus, and they need a group of god generals to take the lead in charging into battle. It would be a pity if Yang Ye and others were allowed to enter the Fifth School of the Northern Army. The Fifth School of the Northern Army is Chutian's troops, and Yang Ye and other fierce generals can better exert their abilities by commanding other troops.
The Scout Corps, still led by Mulan, has 15,000 light cavalry, of which 5,000 are Iron Eagle scouts.
The Women's Army, with Li Xiuning as the main general, recruited 10,000 women's troops.
Four Guards Legions, a total of 45,000 men. The number of the Guards Regiment was small, almost all of them were elite. The position of the Guards Legion is to protect Chu Tian, protect Xia City, and follow Chu Tian into any battle.
Ten main corps, including five infantry corps, offensive, defensive, warrior, ironwall, Qingzhou.
The first offensive corps, the main commander is Le Yi, and Le Jin, who is also good at siege, is the deputy general.
[Name]: Lejin
[Commander]: 82 [Force]: 93 [Intelligence]: 68 [Politics]: 51 [Charisma]: 65
[Phase]: Brave
[Trait 1]: Meritorious first (S-rank trait, when leading the siege, the attack power of the troops is +12%, and does not conflict with the characteristics of the siege master)
[Trait 2]: Unfortified (S-rank trait, when trapped, your soldiers' attack +18%)
[Trait 3]: Slash (A-rank trait, when trapped, self attack +25%)
[Special Class]: None
As one of the five good generals, Lejin's characteristics and abilities are good, and he belongs to the siege first, and his siege characteristics "first ascend meritorious" and Le Yi's characteristics "Seventy Cities" (siege troops attack +18%) have no conflict, and when the siege is total, Lejin's first troops have an additional siege bonus of 30%.
Lejin doesn't have a special class, but any infantry in his hands can be used to siege the city. At the same time, he is still a fierce general who can be caught in the field.
The offensive legion, with 5,000 Yan armor, 5,000 light cavalry, 5,000 ordinary heavy infantry, 25,000 light infantry and crossbowmen, a total of 40,000 people, is positioned to be used for siege and fortification, as well as to act as a sharp knife in field battles.
The second defensive corps, the main commander will be Zhou Yafu, and the deputy will be Li Guang. Zhou Yafu and Li Guang were originally a relationship between superiors and subordinates in history, and with Li Guang as a deputy general, they could strengthen the counterattack ability of the defensive army. After many days, Li Guang returned to Zhou Yafu again.
The defensive corps, the fine willow battalion has a strength of 10,000, the Western Han Dynasty border archers 4,000, the ordinary heavy infantry 6,000, plus 20,000 light foot soldiers and archers, a total of 40,000 people, positioned for defense, and to contain the opponent's main force in the field.
The third army of warriors, the main commander is Pang Juan, and the deputy is Li Ling, using a combination of heavy infantry and crossbowmen.
Li Ling has a special class, the Jingchu warriors, who belong to foot soldiers and crossbowmen.
[Name]: Li Ling
[Commander]: 80 [Force]: 86 [Intelligence]: 55 [Politics]: 11 [Charisma]: 68
[Phase]: Brave
[Trait 1]: Thousands of Crossbows (Grade A Trait, Own Crossbowman Damage +15%)
[Trait 2]: Combo Battle (A-rank trait, can increase morale twice in a row when engaged, can only be used once in a month)
[Special Class]: Jing Chu Warrior (6th Order Light Infantry/Crossbowman, up to 5,000)
Pang Juan's Wei Wushu and Li Ling's Jing Chu warriors can work wonders.
The military army has a strength of 5,000 Wei warriors, 5,000 Jingchu warriors, and 30,000 low-level troops, a total of 40,000 people, positioning both offensive and defensive.
The fourth "Iron Wall" legion, which is a newly established corps, will be Cao Ren, deputy general Cao Hong, can attack and defend, mainly used for defense and counterattack, with 40,000 people, including 5,000 heavy infantry, positioning similar to the defensive corps, containing the main force of the enemy.
[Name]: Cao Ren
[Commander]: 90 [Force]: 92 [Intelligence]: 62 [Politics]: 54 [Charisma]: 78
[Phase]: Brave
[Trait 1]: Iron Wall (S-rank trait, when on the defensive or defending the city, the defense of the allied team is +20%, and the morale drop rate is -10%)
[Trait 2]: Gang General (S-rank trait, when trapped, self attack +20%, morale of nearby soldiers +30%)
The fifth "Qingzhou" legion, also a newly established legion, will be Yu Ban, the deputy general Li Dian, with a strength of 40,000 people, of which 20,000 are Qingzhou soldiers (special troops, fourth-order light foot soldiers/archers).
Yu Ban's Qingzhou soldiers are not recruited with high conditions, and as a price, the grade is not high, and they are positioned as cheap cannon fodder in the infantry corps.
Five main infantry regiments, each with 40,000 men, for a total of 200,000 men.
In addition to the five infantry regiments, there were also five cavalry regiments.
The white-robed army, still commanded by generals Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun, has a total of 30,000 cavalry, of which 3,000 white-robed troops, 3,000 white-horse righteous servants, 5,000 Tang archers, and the rest are low-level light cavalry. The white-robed army had a maximum of seven thousand, but Chu Tian estimated that the budget was not enough for Chen Qingzhi to recruit seven thousand white-robed troops, and the number was set at three thousand for the time being. The white-robed legion is positioned to harass on both flanks, break through, or outflank in a roundabout way.
The Yulin Legion, with Wei Qing as the main general and Gongsun Ao as the deputy general, has a total of 5,000 Yulin cavalry and 20,000 light cavalry, a total of 25,000 cavalry, which is similar to the white-robed army.
In the Shensu Legion, Xu Rong served as the main general, and Xiahou Yuan served as the deputy general. Xiahou Yuan, as a demoted general, has a lower status than he joined Xu Rong earlier. The Divine Speed Legion is full of light cavalry, a total of 20,000, and the speed must be fast, and the positioning is to run out of food, sneak attack, chase and kill, and detour!
The invincible legion, Yang Ye as the main general, Zhang Liao as the deputy general, the establishment of 5,000 wolf cavalry, 5,000 heavy cavalry, 10,000 light cavalry, a total of 20,000 cavalry, positioning is a frontal break, heavy cavalry and light cavalry mixed, destructive power is second only to one of the four major guards legions, the Tiger Legion.
The Tiger and Leopard Legion, which is a legion prepared for Cao Cao, is currently led by Cao Chun, with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry as the mainstay, with only 5,000 members, 3,500 leopard cavalry of light cavalry, and 1,500 Tiger Cavalry of heavy cavalry, which is Cao Chun's troops, not Cao Cao's troops. The positioning is the same as that of the Invincible Legion.
Five cavalry regiments, a total of 100,000 cavalry.
Ten legions, 300,000 main army.
After the establishment is planned, it does not mean that there is a direct main army of 300,000, and it will take time to recruit and train new soldiers.
In addition, a number of local defense corps were merged to establish Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, four major defense corps, and the Tiger Prison Defense Corps and Huainan Defense Corps were set up, a total of six defense corps.
"It is estimated that it will take at least one or two years to complete the recruitment of all soldiers and horses."
Chu Tian expanded the establishment of Yan Jia and Wei Wushu to 5,000 each, and it is conceivable that it will take a huge price and a long time to replenish these high-level heavy infantry.
However, once the ten main legions are all replenished, Chutian has 300,000 main forces, as well as six major defensive legions, and will be invincible.
There is also a corps of Joan of Arc's servants and Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng's Fubo legion. The servant corps was completely lost, and it existed in name only, and Joan of Arc was also temporarily transferred by Chutian to the fifth school of the Northern Army to boost the morale of the fifth school of the Northern Army. Holy Joan of Arc, Dian Wei, as well as Mi Fang, Wu Anguo, Lu Kuang and other god generals, the strength of the five schools of the Northern Army has risen sharply.
After reorganizing the army, Chutian began to send troops to Qingzhou, intending to urge Cao Cao's generals to attack Qingzhou on a large scale and eliminate Zhao Gongzi who was entrenched in Qi, as well as Jinan and Le'an south of the Yellow River.
The difficulty in attacking Qingzhou lies in the strong Linzi City, which is a large city and has a top guard Tiandan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Ten rules to encircle, if you want to capture Linzi City, you need ten times the number of troops.
In order to capture Linzi in one fell swoop, Chutian decided to first capture Jinan and Le'an, besiege Linzi, and make Linzi an isolated city. Then 300,000 Xiangyong were requisitioned, and the fortified city of Linzi City was filled as soon as possible, and Linzi City was completely taken.
Linzi City has become an isolated city, and the degree of attack will decrease, even if the opponent is the defender Tiandan, it will be difficult to hold Linzi.
The Offensive Legion, the Iron Wall Legion, the Qingzhou Legion, the Divine Speed Legion, the Invincible Legion, and the Guards Legion were responsible for attacking Jinan. The Warrior Legion, the Yulin Legion, and the White Robe Legion contain the Yuzhou Army.
The establishment of each legion was not complete, and Chutian could only attack Qingzhou with an incomplete legion. Fortunately, there are not many enemy troops in Qingzhou, and even if the formation of each legion is not complete, it can attack.
At the same time, Chutian asked the imperial court to crown himself as the general of Zhendong and lead the Yanzhou pastor. In addition, please move Xia Liang to General Anton, lead Xuzhou Mu, please move Li Kui to Qingzhou Thorn History, and divide the land of Sanzhou.
Clear-eyed people could see that Chu Tian wanted to attack Qingzhou.
The Yuzhou people said that Tang was licking his wounds, and the princes of Hebei were preparing for the Youzhou War, and no one could stop him from fighting Qingzhou.
Chutian secretly issued the new legion establishment to the generals, and informed the generals who went to participate in the Battle of Qingzhou to get ready.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and other generals were ordered to go to Qingzhou to attack Qingzhou as a vote to join the Chutian forces.
"Wen Yuan, this time you and I are in command of the invincible legion, although there are main and deputy generals, but in fact, each commands 10,000 cavalry."
Yang Ye knew that Zhang Liao was a brave general, and the commander of the invincible army was Yang Ye, who was actually a double main general, each of whom divided his troops and cooperated in battle.
"Xuzhou Mu is going to use me so soon?"
Zhang Liao was slightly surprised when he received the news of the expedition. His identity was that of a general, but Chu Tian quickly activated them and incorporated him into the "invincible" legion.
Yang Ye is similar to Zhang Liao, not only is the special type of army a wolf cavalry in Bingzhou, but also dares to lead the cavalry to attack the enemy, which makes the enemy army fearful.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan and others received Chu Tian's order to send them to attack Qingzhou, and went to ask Cao Cao for instructions, but Cao Cao drove them away.
"I'm already planning to live in seclusion."
Cao Cao closed his door, except for going to Taixue and Du Fu Academy, Cao Cao basically did not interact with the family to show that he had no ambitions.
Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and others came to Xun You again.
"If you want to be good for Mende, you should not go to him again. Serving Xuzhou Mu, Meng De may be able to be reused in the future, otherwise, it will only hurt Meng De. ”
Xun Youdong watched the fire, and he was clear about Cao Cao's intentions. Cao Cao is avoiding suspicion, if Cao Ren and others still ask Cao Cao for everything, then Cao Cao's end is coming.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan and others had to go to meet their respective army commanders, Cao Ren was the army commander himself, and he needed to form an Iron Wall Army to participate in the Battle of Qingzhou.
The legion of the Chutian forces is not a tribal system, but a corps system, and as long as Chutian is willing, the legion can be revoked and the generals can be removed at any time. For example, the Xiliang Legion, Chutian directly revoked it and established the Shensu Legion.
"How is Cao Cao?"
"He didn't meet Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and others."
"It seems that Cao Cao is still self-aware."
Chu Tian was secretly observing Cao Cao's attitude.
As long as Chu Tian commanded all the armies and increased his influence on the generals, Zhang Liao, Yu Ban, Le Jin and other non-clan relatives and martial artists would gradually break away from Cao Cao's influence and become Chu Tian's subordinate generals. As for the relationship between Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and other clan generals and Cao Cao, it is naturally unlikely that they will be estranged.
