"My General Ge, this time the emperor has mobilized millions of troops from seven provinces to attack Ding Province, take back the entire province, and severely damage the natural disasters! And you are responsible for commanding the army of Water Province. As long as the battle is successful, compared to becoming There is no problem for a Chen clan, but your Ge family will be completely transformed!" A young man standing next to Ge Bang, Liu Bang, said with a smile.
This person's surname is Shui, and he is a member of the Shui family, a noble clan. Unexpectedly, at this time, he had a very close relationship with Liu Bang, a pariah, and often even praised Liu Bang involuntarily.
If other untouchables saw this, they wouldn't be able to understand what happened without opening their skulls and taking out their brains.
And this is the strength of Liu Bang himself. It is normal for him to let Xiao He become his subordinate, let Xiang Yu become his sworn brother, and let several clans call themselves brothers.
This is also one of the important reasons why Liu Bang was able to secure his position as the general of the Shui Province. He had the support of some of the Shui family. Otherwise, a pariah, even if appointed by the emperor, would die normally for various reasons. After all, the prince would kill a person. Untouchables are simply not that simple.
Of course, Liu Bang also received a lot of opposition. The Shui family wanted to kill him more than once, but they were suppressed by Admiral Shenshou.
It's not that the admiral likes Liu Bang very much, but that the admiral understands that their Shui Province is not only able to maintain its territory, but is even able to expand its territory in Ding Province, all because of Liu Bang's peerless talent. Military talent.
After all, while the armies in other provinces were still asking soldiers to bring their own dry food, Liu Bang was already leading his troops in a military posture. This ability to train troops was visible to the naked eye.
Not to mention that this time the emperor decided to mobilize the army from 7 provinces and use force against Ding Province to regain part of the lost territory.
Although it was nominally to help the Ding family regain their territory, this time the armies of seven provinces attacked at the same time, which was equivalent to seven provinces eating this piece of meat at the same time. The Ding family could finally get the land back.
Finally, when the Ding family's spiritual guardian admiral dies, the Ding family, once a noble family, will probably be wiped out.
Therefore, sending troops now is a land grab, and it is a legitimate land grab. The Shui family attaches great importance to this. Admiral Shenshou personally stepped forward to suppress all the objections within the Shui family and tried his best to support Liu Bang's position.
Of course, the premise is that Liu Bang has to win. If he loses in the end, Liu Bang will be the first guy to have his head chopped off.
"How can it be so simple?" Liu Bang sighed and said, "Actually, I am not thinking about how to win, but how to keep our army from being completely dissipated again in the defeat."
"??" The young man from the Shui family had a question mark on his face. "I say General Ge, you don't think we can lose this battle even though we have mobilized millions of troops, do you?"
"Haha" Liu Bang laughed dryly and said, "Brother Shui Shui, sometimes in wars, it is not always better to have more people. Last month, didn't we win with 10,000 people against the 100,000-strong Scourge Legion?"
"The most critical thing in fighting is actually command and the ability to control the battlefield. Our army in the Water Province can only barely understand simple orders at present. A slightly more complicated battle order will make the soldiers at a loss. "
"And the situation of the army in the seven provinces is even worse. If the emperor hadn't sent food and at the same time strictly prohibited the soldiers from hunting and foraging on their own, there would probably still be 800,000 of this million-strong army hunting for exotic animals all over the mountains and plains. "
"Such an army rushing forward will basically have no other use than blocking our way forward and retreating," Liu Bang said. "Is this true?" Shui Shui's face was immediately filled with worry.
Others may sneer when they hear Liu Bang's words, but as someone who has fought with Liu Bang for a year, Shui Liu is convinced of Liu Bang. The man in front of him is simply helpless and can use all kinds of incredible methods. Deal with the Scourge.
When other provinces are powerless against the Scourge Legion, only Liu Bang can continuously regain territory from the Scourge Legion. This is why Shui Liu is able to put aside his status prejudice and become brothers with Liu Bang. Liu Bang is really awesome.
And now Liu Bang actually predicted the failure of the coalition forces, which naturally made Shuiliu's face full of worry.
"Is there no way to turn defeat into victory?" Shuiliu asked.
"Yes!" Liu Bang nodded, and then said confidently, "As long as you give me the command of the coalition forces of the seven provinces, and let me train them for another two or three years, then it will be natural to turn defeat into victory, and even completely drive out the Scourge Legion."
Liu Bang dared to say such things shamelessly, not only because he knew that the other party would definitely cooperate with him in acting, but more importantly, he understood that it was impossible for the princes of other provinces to hand over their armies to Liu Bang's command. Bragging about what happened naturally makes you feel confident.
However, Shui Shui heard these words in his head, but he also understood that this was impossible.
Soon, armies from seven provinces arrived one after another, and they all gathered around Xujiacheng, forming a super camp that stretched for dozens of kilometers.
On the opposite side, the Scourge Legion gradually mobilized millions of troops to prepare for a head-on fight with the coalition forces of the seven provinces.
What follows is a war with a million people, and it is also the first super war with a million people since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.
War of this scale is actually extremely rare in China, or simply does not exist.
After all, the princes of China have always understood the importance of bragging. For example, our boss Cao's 300,000-strong army was bragged into an 800,000-strong army.
But even in such an environment where bragging is common, the only war recorded in Chinese history books with a scale of more than one million was the Battle of Feishui. Therefore, there has never been a battle with more than one million participants in Chinese history.
But a battle of this scale happened in the White Elephant World, which is very magical.
The main reason is the special nature of the White Elephant World. Under the theocratic caste system, and the gods and divine power still exist, a single order can make a large number of men come out to serve as soldiers, and there is no need to capture strong men. matter.
Secondly, what really troubles millions-level wars is logistics. No government can guarantee the logistical supplies for millions of soldiers.
But this time the gods directly gave the space artifact, which carried hundreds of thousands of tons of meat, enough to feed a million troops for nearly a year, which perfectly solved the problem of food and grass.
As for the Scourge Legion on the other side, they didn't need food and grass at all. This resulted in a true million-man scale war that had never been seen in Chinese history.
