There are a total of seven princes in the middle of the coalition army, and it sounds like the number of princes exceeds that of the right flank, and it doesn't seem to be a wedge formation at all, but if you analyze them one by one, you will understand how much water these seven princes will have

A certain guy who is known as the prince of the road can actually be ignored, and this person is the titular Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang.

Wang Kuang, as a pawn used by Yuan Shao to test Dong Zhuo, was completely defeated by Dong Zhuo before the princes met with each other, and his Hanoi County has now become a golden lump in Li Shushi's pocket, and he will not spit it out.

In a certain way, it is precisely because of the fall of Wang Kuang that the allies united so quickly, because everyone saw the end of facing Dong Zhuo alone, which is another reason why Wang Kuang can still retain the name of the princes under the protection of Yuan Shao.

Of course, Wang Kuang, who has no territory in the army and no solid backer like Cao Cao, don't count on it, being able to provide a thousand people as a personal guard force to fill the façade is already the limit of Wang Kuang's now.

Then there are Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei, the four troops whose theoretical combat effectiveness ranks among the top five in the Allied forces. That's right, these four troops can definitely be called excellent or even outstanding in terms of soldiers' combat effectiveness, and in terms of generals, whether it is Gao Ran and Jiang Qi under Yuan Shao or Zhang Fei under Liu Bei, Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan and others under Gongsun Zhan are all generals with excellent strength and experience.

But......

But their numbers are a little too small.

If Gongsun Zhan's elite troops were mostly lost because of the battle with Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, then the troops of the other three families were completely because of Li Shushi's Bingzhou army in Hebei, not only Yuan Shao's main force did not come to Henan, but the other three troops had to send trusted generals to lead a considerable part of the troops back to Hebei in order to ensure that they would not be stabbed in the back, resisting Li Shushi's possible attack at the same time, looking for an opportunity to open up a second battlefield, so that Dong Zhuo was exhausted from multi-front operations.

Therefore, among the several princes of the Middle Route Army, only the two brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao are really all here.

The troops of the two brothers...... If Zhang Miao can finally get some guidance after being stained with Cao Cao's light, then Zhang Chao is completely black-eyed. Moreover, Chen Liu, because of the several "baptisms" of Li Shushi and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, the strong and powerful in the county were damaged, and the population was also greatly lost, Zhang Chao's Guangling was harassed by pirates nearby, and Haixi County in the northeast had long been unwilling to listen to his orders because of civil unrest.

By the way, the leader of the pirates in Guangling is called Xue Zhou, and he has a population of more than 10,000 households, which is said to be the population of a large county in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the early years of the Three Kingdoms, which means that this guy can also be called an independent kingdom of his own. In the end, it was the strongman Chen Dengenwei and the use of suppression and appeasement to finally solve this group of people, from this point of view, the level of governance of scholars Zhang Chao and Zhao Yu is so low, and these two seem to be celebrities at that time.

Think about the many celebrities in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then think about some celebrities in this era, in addition to being relatively famous, they are really useless.

To sum up, the total strength of Yuan Shao's Middle Route Army is about 50,000, but the combat effectiveness of half of them is quite questionable.

Of course, not all is bad news, at least Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao know their level very well, and they are also very convinced of Yuan Shao, the leader of Shilin, so there will be no problem of not obeying orders because of arrogance, and after driving the most unstable Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei to the forward position, the 40,000 people of Yuan Shao's army can be said to be completely obedient to Yuan Shao's troops.

As for the left wing of the coalition army, it is estimated that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, as the commander, both know in their hearts that as long as they can ensure that the left wing can not collapse before the right wing defeats the enemy on the opposite side, it is enough, and the rest should not be thought about too much, it is useless.

As the main force, it should have been Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops, and it stands to reason that with the ability of two people and his subordinates, the left wing should still be somewhat interesting.

It's just that......

Well, I'm afraid of anything this year, but such a turning point.

Sun Jian's problem, everyone on the earth knows that after the defeat to Dong Zhuojun and the loss of the general Zu Mao, although some troops were replenished from other places, these troops would never satisfy Sun Jian in terms of numbers, training level or difficulty of command, if it weren't for the fact that these soldiers had followed King Chen and Liu Chong, their strength was at least stronger than ordinary newly recruited soldiers and they were better at bows and crossbows, I was afraid that Sun Jian would have directly picked a small black house to vent. Therefore, Sun Jian had to rely more on himself and his subordinates to maintain the morale of the entire army to prevent a large-scale collapse of this new army.

Yuan Shu's troops actually faced some similar problems to Yuan Shao - Yuan Shao needed to leave a large number of troops to deal with the strong enemy Li Shushi in the north, and Yuan Shu also needed to leave enough troops to guard against Liu Biao, who seemed to be integrating Jingzhou quite smoothly in the south, and on the other hand, he also needed to clear out the disobedient forces in Nanyang and ensure that he had control over his favorite base.

It is precisely for this reason that the troops that Yuan Shu can put into here are actually not much more than Yuan Shao, although most of them are the elite of Yuan Shu's army, but the elite of Yuan Shu's army is far inferior to the real elite of Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao's army, so no one can say what kind of appearance Yuan Shujun can have, who has lost its numerical advantage.

As for the Yuzhou Assassin Kong Ling and Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, the combat effectiveness of these two armies is at the same level as Qiao Mao, Zhang Chao and others, although Yuan Yi is a studious person who truly practiced the most noble ideal of "living to death and learning to die", Kong Ling is also known as a person who is erudite and eloquent, but they are really lackluster in military affairs.

Kong Lingjun may be the only thing that can be stronger than Yuan Yi's army is because Kong Ling is the assassin of Yuzhou, so he can have more soldiers than Yuan Yi, whose strength is only more than 100,000 households in Shanyang County. Well, that's all, that's all.

The total number of soldiers on the left flank was about 30,000, and the combat effectiveness was low, and Yuan Shu, as the commander, had no experience in commanding battles, so the only thing they could rely on was Sun Jian's ability to be more active and what kind of "miracle" the azure dragon in the sky could bring to them.

All in all, for the officers and soldiers of the left wing, being able to survive this battle was their greatest success.

It's really not a big deal, but you want to get it done...... It looks like it's really hard.

On the other hand, Dong Zhuojun adopted a formation similar to the Fish Beauty Array, which is what we commonly call the Fish Scale Array.

The Fish Array of Fish Beauty, also known as the Fish Scale Formation, is the tactical guiding ideology of this formation is to break through the center - the purpose is to turn the enemy to the two sides, and after the enemy center is weak, the main force hidden in the formation will be fully invested, and the core of the enemy's army will be drilled through. If the enemy takes the opportunity to attack our flanks, you need to avoid meeting the enemy with both flanks, and let the hooked troops in the rear resist.

The core tactics of this formation can be summed up as concentrating forces to launch a fierce attack on the center of the enemy's formation, constantly weakening the enemy's forces in the central part of the area while pinning down the enemy's flank forces, and destroying the enemy's command system with a thunderous force.

The weakness of this formation lies in the tail flank - most of the troops are concentrated in the center and the main energy of the formation is also in the center, except for the hooked troops on the two flanks of the tail to contain the attacking troops on the enemy's flank, the entire formation has no more defensive troops, so once the defending troops are defeated, the whole formation will be blocked and cut off.

However, although the Yuli Array is a central breakthrough formation with full attack power, it can evolve into a variety of formations with different purposes, such as the Crane Wing Formation, the Glaive Formation, and the Spindle Formation, depending on the situation, so as to obtain the corresponding tactical purpose, so as to become attackable, retreat, and defendable. It's just that this has quite high requirements for the commander's ability as the commander-in-chief, and it is better not to use this formation when the situation is at a disadvantage, and it is better not to use this formation when the situation is at a disadvantage.

Of course, if you can really ensure that the formation works like a finger, then its multiplication effect is also amazing.

The total strength of the coalition army is about 16 or 70,000, and the strength in Dong Zhuo's hands is only more than 100,000 because there is still a part of it in Chenggao, but obviously in his opinion, at least more than half of the coalition army will be sold in Dong Zhuo's eyes, so he has enough confidence to put on such a formation, the purpose is to directly take Yuan Shao's Chinese army.

He didn't know Yuan Shao's arrangement, but he believed that Yuan Shao would put all the elites in the Chinese army, and he Dong Zhuo would be able to chisel through them, after all, most of the people in Yuan Shao's army were either literati who didn't understand military affairs, or they were the children of a family who had not been on the battlefield a few times, at most they were gilded, and the wolf pack led by a sheep could only cultivate a guy like the gray wolf who had been defeated repeatedly.

Of course, if Dong Zhuo knew that Yuan Shao had placed heavy troops on the flanks, maybe he would have applauded Yuan Shao's beating.

However, even if Dong Zhuo didn't know, he still cautiously made the corresponding arrangements.

Dong Zhuo used Li Dao and Guo Yan as the hook-shaped troops on the two wings of the Yuli array, and Hu Zhen and Yang Ding as the assault troops in the middle, hoping to arrange several strong generals of the Xiliang Army in the most important places in the formation to ensure the operation and solidity of the formation.

Li Zhuo and the Northern Army where the Bingzhou Gang was located were arranged on both sides of the rear of the "Yuzui", these soldiers of the Northern Army were quite excellent in terms of combat ability as long as they were properly commanded, but they could not be compared with the Western Liang Army in terms of fighting will, and the positions arranged on both sides behind the Western Liang Army before the breakthrough could not only provide sufficient support for the Western Liang Army, but also prevent them from directly facing the enemy because of the problem of willpower and could not effectively chisel the thick Chinese army that the enemy might have.

And the center of the entire Yuli Array is naturally the Chinese army led by Dong Zhuo, and as the vanguard of the Chinese army, it is Fan Chou, the favorite general under Dong Zhuo, whose strong personal ability is probably also the leader in the Xiliang Army, especially today when Huaxiong has been poached by Li Shushi.

Now, the two armies have set up their positions, just waiting for the "signal flare" sent by the two holy beasts in the sky to represent the sprint.

PS: My father occasionally felt unwell, so he went to the hospital to see a doctor, but the expert told my father that he needed to be admitted to the hospital for a full body examination for seven days. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but the first day of examination showed that my father had calcifications in his brain, and there seemed to be some problems with the nerves in his neck, so I was glad and a little worried at the same time. Affected by this, the updates in the past few days may not be stable, and after this period of time, it should be able to recover, please forgive me.
