October 15th!
The sky is clear, the sky is clear, and the autumn harvest has come to an end!
Today is the day when an army of 100,000 people pledges to go out for battle. The entire Wang Yu army has a total of 100,000 people, plus more than 100,000 civilians, a total of more than 200,000 people, known as a million-strong army.
However, there is no need to follow all the more than 100,000 civilians. Most of them only need to transport grain, grass and materials from various places to the big cities along the way. There are many troop carriers connecting the major cities, and the rest can be done by troop carriers. generation.
There are more than 100,000 civilians. In fact, only a small part of them really need to accompany the army to assist in fighting.
Since the emergence of personnel carriers, it has not only greatly improved the efficiency of mobilizing troops from various places, but also greatly reduced the manpower required during marching and fighting.
】
There are one hundred thousand soldiers in Hebei Province, but these one hundred thousand refer to professional legions. In addition to these 100,000, there are still varying numbers of field troops in each county. Zhuge Liang is responsible for the first field army, and Zhuge Liang is also responsible for training this field army. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the garrison army cannot be compared with that of this 100,000-strong army.
After all, the garrison army trains when it is busy and fights when it is idle. It cannot compare with the regular army in terms of training intensity, soldier quality and even equipment. Even if Zhuge Liang, a military strategist, personally took charge of it, there was no way to compare with the 100,000 troops trained by Han Xin and others. What's more, Zhuge Liang has not yet reached a complete state.
The existence of the field army is not only to ensure Wang Yu's supply of food and grass, but also as a reserve force!
Therefore, it does not mean that after these 100,000 people went out to fight, Hebei Province would not have any resistance at all. Moreover, the autumn harvest is about to be completed, and these field troops are just in time to be put to use!
Moreover, isn't there Lan Yu's 10,000 horses in Hebei Province? Lan Yu's 10,000 troops are veterans who have experienced many battles!
Flags are flying, war drums are thundering.
One hundred thousand soldiers gathered outside the city in a cloud, like mountains and seas, like clouds covering the sky.
The main force of Wang Yu's 100,000-strong army is infantry, with cavalry only accounting for a very small proportion. In the past two years or so, it has been quite difficult for Wang Yu to help Meng Tian gather the 10,000 golden fire cavalry horses, and he can't ask for so much for the rest!
Even in Yanbei, the war horses were not blown by the strong wind, and it was impossible to say that tens of thousands of cavalry were assembled, let alone Wang Yu's place!
In the past two years or so, Wang Yu has been able to assemble a top-notch configuration of one rider and two horses for 10,000 golden fire cavalry. This is already the limit.
At the right time of the day, which was the auspicious time to send troops, the sound of drums, drums and horns in the military camp shook the heaven and the earth.
In the west of the city, a three-story platform was built, with flags from five directions spread out. On top of it were white and yellow axes, and military talismans and general seals. The generals were divided into left and right sides. Guan Zhong personally presided over the expedition ceremony and invited Wang Yu to ascend the altar.
Wang Yu dressed up and carried a sword. He came forward with emotion, burned incense and worshiped again.
It is said that the number of people exceeds 10,000, and it is boundless. However, a hundred thousand troops gathered together, and soldiers from all directions gathered together. The figure of the entire army stretched to the horizon, and the edge could not be seen.
Wang Yu said loudly: "In the whole world, is it the land of the king, and on the shore of the land, is it the minister of the king? The current false emperor Mingzhao, does not respect the destiny of heaven, does not act like a king, takes advantage of provocations, indulges in harm, kills his father and kills the king, They tortured the people. This man without a king or a father would not be able to raise the power of Da Cang unless he was killed. However, the Emperor of Da Cang had the virtue of a good life and did not want the people of Da Cang to suffer the disaster of war, so he issued a message to the north and south of Da Cang. The people must abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and welcome the king's master, otherwise the heavenly troops will suddenly arrive and they will all be crushed.
I serve as a general and go south on the orders of the Emperor. I should be the king's vanguard, march forward vigorously, work together, serve the country well, and maintain integrity as a minister. I must have the same ambition. The emperor, the queen, the earth, the ancestors are wise, we all learn from this fact! "
After Wang Yu finished speaking, someone led a horse. Wang Yu took a sharp chopping knife and severed his head with the knife. Blood spattered on the flagpole.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
……………
A sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami sounded, and a hundred thousand troops roared. How heroic this momentum was!
Even if Wang Yu is in such an environment, his emotions will be infected!
Then Wang Yu read out the emperor's edict, and then called Han Xin to the stage. On behalf of the emperor, Wang Yu came to the stage to pay homage to the general. He held the end of the ax and gave the handle to Han Xin, expressing that he would give him all the rights to control the army.
Han Xin took over the emperor's imperial edict and the seal of command of the army, and declared his control over the army.
In fact, general worship is usually a ceremony for the coach, but Wang Yu is also the coach in name. In order to establish Han Xin's authority and ensure that orders and prohibitions are enforced, Wang Yu still decided to give the protagonist of the ceremony to Han Xin, and this was the authorization in full view of the public. Deputy Commander.
Wang Yu's own family knows his own affairs, and they also know how capable he is.
This time, he might have to face Chu Xizhao again. With the means in Wang Yu's hands, if he directly faced Chu Xizhao, wouldn't it be a joke to fight?
If it were really Wang Yu who personally led an army of 100,000 to fight against Chu Xizhao, he might have defeated all of his 100,000 troops, but Chu Xizhao would not be able to get a single cent from him!
Therefore, Wang Yu had better leave it to Han Xin, a professional, to deal with Chu Xizhao. Even in this professional field, Han Xin is also the top expert in this profession.
Then Han Xin stepped forward and stood side by side with Wang Yu on the altar.
Han Xin wore a red armor and a sword hanging from his waist. The wind from the north caused the red tassel on his helmet to flutter back and forth. Han Xin held his sword and glanced at the generals, his eyes full of light and lightning, majestic.
"Today, I will take you south to Henan and directly to the base of the Puppet Dynasty. It is God who has given you this wealth. If you don't take it now, how can you wait?"
Han Xin's voice was like a bell, thunderous, and he won cheers from everyone as soon as he finished speaking.
"Through your contribution to quelling the chaos, you will be promoted to a higher position, and you will be blessed with beauties. Brothers, if you win this battle, all the glory and wealth will come to you..."
Everyone was holding their breath, and couldn't help but cheer loudly, resounding in the sky, without worrying about gains and losses before.
Han Xin is a master at drawing cakes, especially when it comes to drawing cakes for these soldiers, he is the best among masters!
It doesn’t matter whether this cake can be realized in the end, but this cake must be drawn in place for him first.
After drawing this cake, the soldiers will have the motivation to fight, and the warriors will risk their lives to fight!
After this, the Chinese army beat drums and gathered the generals.
Sitting on the raised tent, the generals below were arranged according to their official positions and titles. Although Han Xin is the deputy commander, this battle will be conducted under Han Xin's command. In order to maintain Han Xin's authority, Wang Yu took the initiative to have someone add a chair next to him, but it was half a seat down.
