"These natives are really the best soldiers in the world!" Liu Bang couldn't help but sigh after actually carrying out professional military training for these natives.
When the Han Dynasty chose soldiers, their favorite soldiers were those from good families, that is, simple farmers' children. Because such soldiers are very simple and obedient, able to unswervingly carry out the general's orders, and can be used easily in battles.
And these natives also have the same characteristics. Out of their belief in gods, they are extremely obedient in training, and can carry out Liu Bang's various orders without compromise. Anyway, as long as you can guarantee them three meals a day, they will Able to cooperate with Liu Bang's training extremely obediently.
Moreover, these natives have more or less divine power in their bodies. Once the divine power is activated, their offense and defense will become very terrifying. So during the training, Liu Bang invented an additional set of special training subjects for the indigenous people, which was to train these indigenous people to strictly obey orders and use divine power, so that everyone could burst out their divine power at the same time, and in a short time The ability to cause extremely terrifying damage, or the defensive ability, is simply invincible.
Liu Bang only led these people to train in the jungle for more than two months, and he couldn't help but have the illusion that even if Han Xin himself led 100 people opposite him, he would still have the confidence to defeat Han Xin with the 100 troops in his hands. Gave it to Yang.
Then Liu Bang really waited for the opportunity. The army's new general, the Shenshou Admiral, issued a new order, which was to launch an attack on another city controlled by the nearby Scourge Legion.
This city is not a small town that was captured before, but a real city. It is garrisoned by more than 100,000 Scourge Legion soldiers, and it is very powerful.
Liu Bang quickly reported the news to Liu Xu, and then asked whether he wanted to suddenly jump on the battlefield and give the water province's army a hard blow or something. As a result, a few minutes later, Liu Xu had only one reply to Liu Bang, and that was "Keep acting"
Ever since, the ensuing battle was like this. The army of the Water Province once again won the victory. After they had a "cruel" battle with the Scourge Legion outside the city, the soldiers of the Scourge Legion fled in confusion. , the Ministry of Water Resources successfully took back the city and achieved another victory after the war began.
This news naturally excited everyone in the Water Province, and made Admiral Shen Shou eager to express his merits to the Emperor. When he was bragging about himself, he found that the same situation had occurred in almost several other provinces.
The armies organized in that province all won a victory against the Scourge Legion. Each province achieved greater or lesser results and regained a lot of lost territory. For a while, the entire battle situation showed that everything was competing and full of vitality. situation.
Emperor Zhou was naturally very happy, and he declared without hesitation that this was all the emperor's fault, and that the emperor announced the immediate victory by organizing the army.
Therefore, the formation of the army cannot be stopped. Each province must continue to expand its army, and then launch a counterattack at the same time to completely wipe out the Scourge Legion.
Under the guidance of this spirit, the army of the Water Province once again ushered in an expansion. As for its normal performance in the last battle, it was mainly to lead the troops in a timely manner and appear on the battlefield at the time specified by the general, far exceeding The other 80% of the generals and soldiers, so Liu Bang was promoted again, from a hundred-man general to a thousand-man general, and he had an army of thousands of people.
Some people may find it incredible, who is Liu Bang?
Even if he faked his identity, he was just a pariah. How could he be promoted to a thousand-man general in a short period of time? Is there not even a single unspoken rule in this army?
Not to mention, there are really no unspoken rules for promoting generals, because the army is all composed of civilians, so those noble high castes simply cannot bear to live with this group of untouchables, so there are no high castes No matter how you want to be an officer, in the entire Water Province, except for a few hundred thousand generals and the general himself, there are no other high-caste people.
Therefore, when promoting officers, there was naturally no extra thought. The entire army unexpectedly promoted talents according to the rule of the most capable. This result was something Liu Bang did not expect.
But no matter how you put it, Liu Bang has become a serious general with a thousand men, and he can be regarded as a mid-level general among the enemies. This makes Liu Bang look confused.
I'm here to be an undercover agent, not a general!
In the next few months, after tasting the sweetness of the last two battles, the armies of various provinces began a full-scale offensive, constantly retaking the lost lands and cities.
The result of the battle is still the same as before. As long as the battle starts head-on and the troops of the Water Province rush forward, they can basically disrupt the entire natural disaster army and successfully win the victory.
However, the Scourge Legion quickly made a response strategy, which was not to engage in a head-on confrontation with the "powerful" Zhou army, but to play guerrilla warfare. When the army went to attack the next city, they would directly attack with a sneak attack. The cities that were lost before were brought back.
In desperation, Zhou's army could only fight back, but the Scourge Legion simply withdrew again and turned to attack the previously lost city. The one who stood out was a rogue.
The various provinces of Zhou had no choice but to fight fiercely while constantly expanding the number of soldiers and sending more hunters from the country into the army. By increasing the number of people, you can defend more cities.
Therefore, the total number of Zhou's troops is also constantly expanding. The army of one water province alone has reached a scale of about 500,000, which is indeed very scary.
Liu Bang has naturally made many contributions in this continuous war. In addition, he has an extremely good relationship with other generals. Almost everyone is his friend. Liu Bang even has friendship with two distinguished 100,000 generals. With the connection between generals and generals, Liu Bang naturally rose to the top. He was successfully promoted again in the war and became a general of ten thousand people, and his subordinates directly commanded an army of tens of thousands of people.
But at this time, another very serious problem also broke out, that is, the soldiers in the army were becoming more and more disobedient. The reason was simple: they were about to run out of food.
As mentioned before, Zhou's army does not need military rations. All soldiers forage for food on their own, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost of the army. This is why it can expand the army in just a few months. After all, there is no need to consider logistical issues because of the 500,000 people.
However, the number of alien beasts around the station was limited after all. Soon all the alien beasts within 20 kilometers were eaten up. The soldiers had to look for food in further directions and locations, and this time That’s more than 10 days.
For an army with a nominal strength of 500,000, the maximum number of people present in the military camp at the same time may not exceed 50,000, and the remaining 450,000 are all foraging for food.
But the problem is that at this time, the Zhou Kingdom and the Scourge Legion are engaged in a fierce battle, which means that fighting is possible every day. With a stroke of a pen, the noble 100,000 generals ordered that all soldiers are not allowed to leave the military camp to hunt, and everyone must stay in the military camp. Fight according to orders inside.
But these nobles had no intention of providing food, so many soldiers who had no reserves of animal meat and had fought fiercely for many days found themselves helplessly as if they were about to starve to death.
