Chapter 1000: The Battle of the Shrine (1)
Early the next morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sun rises but the sky is slightly dark, and the wind blows, blowing dust, paper, dust, etc., it is a standard cloudy day, and it may also be a stormy day.
Originally, it was the time of daily army training, but the city gate of Changshefu was wide open, and the tide of continuous vast troops poured out from the east, south, and north gates, covering the sky with clouds, adding to the cloudy atmosphere.
The Yellow Turban Army of Changshe is a large army besieging the city, encircling the Changshe Mansion City in a huge fan shape, but it is not a close siege, the military camp is from the city wall in the range of fifty or sixty miles to more than a hundred li, and also with the help of part of the terrain.
Such a distance can give the armies of both sides a buffer distance and time, which is also the confidence and defense of the Yellow Turban Army.
According to the deployment of Huangfu Song and other Han generals, the Han army was divided into three ways and attacked at the same time.
The Yellow Turban Army outside the East City Gate, the strongest and largest, is where the Heavenly King Zhang Man's headquarters is located, the number of troops is nearly five million, and the Zuo Zhonglang General Huangfu Song will be in charge, leading the army of 800,000 Han troops, known as one million.
The Yellow Turban Army outside the North City Gate is led by Zhao Hong, the king of the people, with an army of nearly two million, and will be led by Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, leading an army of 500,000 Han troops, known as 800,000.
The Yellow Turban Army outside the South City Gate is led by the king Sun Xia, with an army of nearly three million, which will be in charge of the Sanpin Pingkou general Diao Chan, with the assistance of his father-in-law Wang Yun, the famous man Kong Rong, Shang Shuang, etc., with 100,000 cicada recruits and more than 40,000 cicada elite soldiers, plus 300,000 Han troops, the total number is about 450,000, also known as 800,000 troops.
In addition, there are about 300,000 Han troops in the city of Changshefu, but they are basically reserve recruits, that is, the 1.6 million Han troops who went to war, in fact, most of them are recruits who have just been recruited and trained.
The Yellow Turban Army still has the army of the land king Bocai, even if it loses more than 100,000 elite soldiers in Mushenling, the army led by it still has about three million, which is still the reason why Bocai has the most battles and the number has decreased sharply.
The Diwang Bocai Army was originally supposed to be stationed in the west of Changshefu City, but Zhang Mancheng was quite self-aware, and chose the tactic of "encircling three ques" and did not let the Bocai Army go, so he stayed in the camp and used it as a mobile purpose, and was also responsible for logistics materials and everything outside the battlefield.
In total, the army of the Han army of Changshe was about 2 million, and the army of the Yellow Turban army of Changshe was about 15 million, which was more than seven times that of the Han army.
Of course, the Yellow Turban Army was much larger than the Han Army, and most of them were ordinary people who had no cultivation at all, and could only be called Taiping followers; some cultivators were less than one-tenth of them, and they could be regarded as registered disciples of the Taiping Sect, and they had never even come into contact with the Taiping Essentials; and it is estimated that only one percent of the Taiping Sect disciples who had actually come into contact with the Taiping Essentials.
Until the sun rises three poles.
The torrent of Han troops out of the city had just subsided, and the vanguard army of the three parties came to a halt a few miles away from the Yellow Turban camp.
The Han armies of the southeast, north and south, the formations are all clouds like layers of kind, endless and mountainous troops.
At this moment, the dense figure was like a swarm of bees swept up from the Changshe Mansion City, and ran to the three directions, with a momentum like a rainbow, which was quite powerful to cover the sky and the sun.
These are all monks who build the foundation realm and above, and they are also the elite of the Han army, and they can all fly with imperial weapons or take off.
There are tens of thousands of them, and the scale of the momentum is no less than that of a flock of birds.
The vanguard of the three-party army, a machine with a size ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of meters, appeared, like a steel giant beast, looking at the Yellow Turban camp.
There are catapults shaped like nine-tailed foxes, there are charging vehicles shaped like rhinoceros, there are giant ballistas like hundred-eyed monsters, there are thunderbolts like many monsters, and so on.
"This is the real war......"
The various deployments, situations and responses of the Han army appeared in Dugu Jialuo's "Sky Mirror", and Dugu Jialuo said with inexplicable emotion.
Such a high-end situation far exceeds the expectations of Wu Xin and Dugu Jialuo and others, and it is far from being comparable to the battle of the rivers and lakes.
The most obvious point is that although there are countless groups of flying monks in the southeast, south and north, the southern battle situation that Diao Chan is responsible for is obviously the least, with only a pitiful number of more than 10,000 people.
It is not the foundation building realm and above soldiers of the Southern Han Army, there are only more than 10,000 people, and there are more than one Flying Cicada Army.
It's just that the Cicada Army is all land riding, and there is no arrangement of the "Air Force" at all, and Wu Xin, Dugu Jialuo, Diao Chan and others usually don't have that concept.
Of course, Diao Chan may have thought of it, but he didn't interfere much with the Cicada Army, after all, the Cicada Army nominally belongs to Diao Chan, but in fact it is completely Wuxin's private army, and Wuxin and Dugu Jialuo have no concept of "air force" at all.
Wu Xin occasionally thought about the "air force", but he thought about it with the help of birds, how could he ever think of letting the soldiers take off directly or the imperial weapon?
If there is no air force with flying mounts, is it still called "air force"?
......
"Boom ......"
The actions of the Han army naturally can't hide from the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban Camp quickly became agitated, like an explosion of the camp, and the breath and momentum of the vast sea quickly turned into iron-blooded clouds, like stirring the wind and clouds, and the heavens and the earth changed color.
"As soon as the Cicada Army arrives, the enemy army wants to launch a full-scale counteroffensive? Is there any hole card or reliance? Only 50,000 elite Cicada Army ......?"
Countless pieces of information quickly gathered in the middle of the Oriental Camp where the Heavenly King Zhang Mancheng was located, Zhang Mancheng contemplated and muttered to himself in confusion, but he didn't hide it from others.
"Before, the elite of the Cicada Army was only 50,000. However, after the war, Lord Bowang caused the Cicada Army to swell to about 150,000......"
Sun Xia, the king of people, glanced at Wang Bocai and corrected meaningfully. After a pause, he continued as if shouting:
"According to reliable information, the nearly 100,000 subordinates of Lord Bowang who were captured were all recruited and surrendered by the Cicada Army, and they turned out to be convinced and sincerely surrendered...... How unpopular is that?"
"Huh?"
The earth king Bocai was furious, his eyes looked at Sun Xia fiercely, he was furious, but he didn't know how to refute it, and he couldn't refute it at all!
Facts are facts.
The battle of Mushenling is indeed the biggest stain on the earth king Bocai, even if he defeats the famous general Zhu Jun, it will be difficult to wash away.
The management, or leaders, of the Taiping Sect is divided into three princes, four emperors, and eight emperors, ten heavenly kings, twelve earth kings, and thirty-six human kings.
The former is not to be said for the time being, the latter are both kings, and naturally the competition is fierce.
What's more, the pyramid-like structure of the Taiping Sect is not a meritocracy, but mainly the two points of distance and talent, and more leaders are not convinced!
For example, the Heavenly King Zhang Mancheng, although he is the Heavenly King, but he is not convinced by the Force Emperor Guan Hai and the Sword Emperor Zhou Cang, who are one level higher than him, but thinks that he is a reckless man with a "simple mind and developed limbs", and he doesn't look at it in his eyes!
The situation of the human king Sun Xia is similar, in terms of grade, the human king is one level worse than the earth king.
However, Sun Xia doesn't think that he is worse than Bocai, at least now, judging from the armies of both sides, they are about three million. And Bo Cai has just suffered a big defeat, but he Sun Xia, who has won consecutive battles, has no major defeats, and he looks down on the king of the land, Bocai!
"As expected, this time the Han army is planning to fight to the death! Depending on the situation, the Flying Cicada Army will be in charge of the southern battlefield, and the king will personally meet the enemy at that time!"
His mind changed dramatically, and the king of the land Bocai did not argue with Sun Xia, but took the initiative to ask for help with a gloomy face. After a pause, he quietly transmitted to Zhang Mancheng:
"With the steady and cautious temperament of the two veterans of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, since I plan to fight to the death, I must rely on it, and I will go to the south to take precautions......
