The Jingzhou Corps of the Han Dynasty had a total of 20,000 sailors and 30,000 infantry. The commander was Zhendong General Gan Ning, and Cheng Gongying was the military advisor.
After Jiangdong formed an alliance with Cao Cao and Liu Zhang, Gan Ning had already begun preparations. He knew that there would be a big war in the coming year, and Chaisang would definitely be the main battlefield.
There were originally 20,000 naval troops stationed in Chaisang. After Gan Ning fortified the city wall, he transferred 10,000 infantrymen and asked Huo Jun, the general of the Southern Expedition, to guard the city.
Huo Jun had defeated the Jiangdong Army several times in Nanjun. The former governor-general Zhou Yu did not get any advantage from Huo Jun, and many generals suffered heavy losses. Therefore, having him stationed in Chaisang will put psychological pressure on Jiangdong's army.
The remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Jiangling, with Cheng Gongying as the commander-in-chief and Xiang Chong, Liu Min and Gong Zhi as generals. The first is to prevent Liu Zhang from suddenly sending out surprise troops to cross Baidi City and Kuiguan and raid Jingzhou; the second is to prevent Jiangdong from continuing to cross the Yangtze River from Yuzhang and attack the four counties in Jingnan.
Of course, this possibility is not high. If Jiangdong dares to do this, in addition to Cheng Gongying rushing to aid the four counties of Jingnan, Gan Ning's navy will naturally threaten Yuzhang, and even Jianye and Wu counties.
There are no troops stationed in the Xiangyang area. Even if Jiangdong dispatches a hundred thousand troops, it is almost impossible to attack Xiangyang. In the worst case, if Chaisang is lost, Jiangxia and Nanjun will be the last line of defense, and it is impossible to lose it again.
In Chaisang City, Gan Ning, Huo Jun, Feng Xi, Zhang Nan and others were discussing matters.
"General, there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses left in Jiangling. Isn't it a little short?" Zhang Nan said.
"Yes, General, in fact, our Chaisang has 20,000 soldiers and horses, which is enough to defend!" Feng Xi said with confidence, "We are armed with repeating crossbows, gale crossbows, etc., which were already very powerful, but now the lord has equipped us with invincible Heavenly Thunder, even if there are 100,000 troops in Jiangdong, we are not afraid."
When the Invincible Heavenly Thunder was first transported to Chaisang, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan both laughed at it. Even if it were hit on the head with such a ceramic jar, it would probably only scratch the scalp and not kill anyone.
But the soldiers from the Ministry of Industry tried it on them and almost shocked Feng Xi and Zhang Nan's jaws. Isn't this weapon too overbearing? If one of them falls into the crowd, how many people will die?
The invincible thunder is indeed invincible!
"Ha" Huo Jun smiled after hearing what Feng Xi and Zhang Nan said, "Wen Jin, Xiu Yuan, you haven't understood yet, General Gan doesn't just want to guard Chaisang!"
"What, General" Zhang Nan was startled, "Do we still want to"
"With General Huo Jun and these 10,000 troops, we are enough to defend Chaisang City!" Gan Ning also said with a smile.
"What about the water village?"
"The water stronghold is to protect Chaisang City. If Chaisang can defend it, then it doesn't mean much whether the water stronghold is defended or not?"
"The general wants to raid Yuzhang and build Ye like last time?" Feng Xi asked.
"It's no disrespect to come back. If Sun Quan sends 300,000 to 50,000 troops, then we will destroy it for the lord. If Sun Quan sends 100,000 troops, then I will directly seize his Wu Commandery!"
"Okay, the two of us are willing to serve as the general's lead!" Feng Xi and Zhang Nan looked extremely excited.
Gan Ning¡¯s eyes were also full of confidence, and he was once again glad that he had chosen Liu Cong instead of Jiang Dong.
"After this battle, the power of the world will change. The lord will become the biggest hero. From now on, we will completely turn our defense into offense!"
In the military camp outside Jiangling City, Cheng Gongying was also filled with emotion.
Twenty thousand soldiers and horses are not too many. At the beginning, Ma Teng and Han Sui often sent forty or fifty thousand troops. But what shocked him was that the Han army was too powerful.
Not to mention the veterans, these new recruits have only been trained for a few months, and their combat effectiveness has reached the level of the previous Xiliang Army. The weapons in their hands, especially the Han knives, are not only light, but also sharp and tough. The bulky horse-cutting swords used by the Xiliang army would break after three or five collisions at most. Some of the commonly used ring-head knives would Some of them could only hold up two or three times after being cut off by a knife.
In addition, holding repeating crossbows and gale slaves are even more powerful weapons. Whether defending a city or fighting in the field, two to three hundred soldiers can achieve the effect of thousands of crossbowmen.
What he didn't expect was the invincible thunder. This weapon had just been invented and had not been used yet. He could completely imagine what the enemy would be like when it appeared on any battlefield.
??Building medical centers and deploying military doctors in the army costs a lot of money and food, which many people did not understand before. But now, Cheng Gongying understands. If you look at the number of veterans in the Han army, you will know what its significance is!
"No wonder my lord is able to attack and conquer all battles!" Cheng Gongying was filled with emotion. He felt that his lord Liu Cong was really omnipotent.
"Outstanding literary talent, superb martial arts, discerning people, resourceful, and proficient in internal affairs, these have made him feel incredible. He did not expect to be so good at the Mohist theory!
Of course Cheng Gongying didn¡¯t know that Liu Cong had never read Mohist books at all. What he used was knowledge and experience that surpassed this era for nearly two thousand years!
Outside the city of Ancheng, the Yuzhou Government Office, 30,000 troops were stationed.
In the commander's tent, General Wei Yan and Military Advisor Pang Tong were studying the map.
"Military advisor, Qiao County should send troops to garrison!" Wei Yan said suddenly.
"Qiaojun?" Pang Tong looked at the map and nodded after a moment, "Chang Wen is right. Although Zhang Liao's army has gathered in Chenliu and seems to be aiming directly at Xuchang, if they make a detour, Qiaojun We will be the first to bear the brunt! Can Shouchun and Xiaopei have large armies stationed?"
"We haven't received any news yet, and that's what I'm worried about. Who do you think the military advisor should send?"
"General Huwei Tian Yu is the chief general, and Fenwei general Yan Xing is the deputy general. With these two leading 10,000 troops and horses stationed there, no matter who Zhang Liao sends? Where to make a detour? You can be sure of no worries!"
"Tian Yu is wise and Yan Xing is brave. The combination of the two of them is indeed foolproof, but"
"Don't worry, Mr. Wen. My lord has a saying: Don't trust those you employ, and don't trust those you doubt. Tian Guorang is a loyal man. Since he has submitted to us, he will never rebel again. As for Yan Xing, besides the lord, who else is worthy of his surrender?" Woolen cloth?"
"Okay, I'll give the order right away!"
Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan have already led 10,000 troops to station in Xuchang, and Xian Yufu has led 10,000 troops to station in Ruyin. Since Zhang Liao's movements are still unclear, Wei Yan and Pang Tong are also standing still in Ancheng.
"Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Yue Jin are all famous generals in the world. We still have to plan this battle carefully!" Since preparing for the war, Pang Tong found that Wei Yan was always very excited, so he reminded him.
"Don't worry, military advisor, I will never underestimate the enemy. I'm just looking forward to this battle! I want them to understand that our generals in the south are not only good at fighting along the river!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
