Jizhou, the main fortress city, was basically heavily guarded by the Yellow Turban Army.
Only after coordinating the basic information can we pass through these fortresses and attack Sili.
It is actually possible to attack Sili in advance, but it will be unsuccessful later, because Zhang Jiao knows that only by waiting for the heaven and earth dragon fortunes from various states and counties to gather together can he have the foundation to resist the divine capital Luoyang!
After all, the foundation of Taiping Dao is mostly the luck of Taoism, not the luck of the dynasty!
Chaoge City and Liyang City are both huge cities built between giant mountains, with only two walls. One side is facing each other, and the other side is facing the county. Between the two cities, there is a huge plain.
On the plains near the mountains, fertile fields have been cultivated, and some small rivers meander through.
However, severe drought and sudden changes in the sky caused many small rivers to dry up in China.
The land that was originally fertile land was cracked and dried up, and no food could grow.
The farmers who used to be busy in the fields have disappeared, and the endless green scenery has become a memory.
At this moment, Han soldiers holding various weapons were marching slowly on these 'fertile fields', approaching Liyang City.
At the same time, on the opposite side of Liyang Fortress in Wei County, Jizhou, a burly military general with a majestic aura, and a group of military generals with the same aura, looked at the Han officers and soldiers pouring out of Chaoge City.
At this time, a slightly thin man came out and reported: "General Dian, the imperial court sent the great scholar Lu Zhi to attack us! At present, he commands the five most elite legions of the Han Dynasty: the Tuen Cavalry Legion, the Yue Cavalry Legion, and the Red Dragon Legion, Long Water Legion, Shooting Sound Legion!”
It turned out that the people on the city wall were Dian Wei and a group of handsome men.
"Have all the five armies of the Han Dynasty arrived at Chaoge City?" Li Dian asked.
"Back to General Dian, according to [Dao Yu]'s report, only the Tunqi Corps and the Changshui Corps reached the border of Yu Sili in Jizhou first. The current number of the two legions is about 800,000!"
Generally speaking, the number of soldiers in a legion is usually 200,000. However, due to some special props or mysterious blessings, the number of legion soldiers can be increased.
During the Xu Zhao Rebellion, there were 300,000 Qinglong Jiao soldiers!
Afterwards, because he joined the Great Wilderness Territory and without the blessing, Zhou Tai's troops were reduced to a regular legion of 200,000. Other soldiers either became Popeye or served as sea guards.
The number of Han legions may not be small. Otherwise, there are only five legions and one million people. How can they defeat the Taiping Dao Yellow Turban Army that dominates Jizhou!
Jizhou has 123 counties and counties including Weijun, Guangping, Julu, Bohai, Hejian, Qinghe, Zhaoguo, and Zhongshanguo.
The garrison of each county, no matter how small it is, must be between 30 and 50,000!
In summary, millions of troops are not required! This is still a rough calculation. According to Zhang Jiao's temperament, the number of people must be more than this. Including the logistics personnel, it may exceed 20 million!
Jizhou is a populous state with hundreds of millions of people! Being able to recruit tens of millions of Taoist disciples shows that his ability is terrifying.
"There are 800,000 elites. We have 400,000 elites guarding the city. We are not afraid of them!" Dian Wei said confidently with a domineering tone.
"Yes! I'm not afraid of them!"
"As long as we hold on and wait for the dragon fortunes from various states and counties to gather, it is time to overthrow the Red Dragon Sky!" A group of people said enthusiastically, as if they were very confident that the future of Taiping Road would become bright.
"Yu Du, has the [Dao Yu] you are in charge of found out the information about the fifth school of the Northern Army in Longting?" asked a Qu commander.
[Dao Yu] is the intelligence agency of Taiping Dao. However, it is targeted at Sili and is not deployed nationwide.
"The Tun Cavalry Legion, the Yue Cavalry Legion, the Red Dragon Legion, the Changshui Legion, and the Shengsheng Legion. The first two are the Cavalry Legion, the third is the Infantry Legion, the fourth is the Equipment Legion, and the fifth is the Archer Legion."
"The five legions are all supported by Longting. Their weapons and equipment, precious armors and horses, military rations, wound medicine, etc. are all the best. Moreover, they are all legions recognized by heaven and earth. They have legion flags, legion attributes, and legion arms. At the same level, it may reach the epic level! The combat power is very terrifying."
"It is rumored that some of these generals have entered the mysterious Temple of Heaven and have incorporated mysterious props to be resurrected!" Yu Du introduced in a solemn voice while holding his breath.
"Hiss!" Everyone gasped when they heard this. Can the army general on the opposite side be resurrected? !
Resurrection, what an irony!
"Furthermore, according to a report from a certain channel, the commander-in-chief Lu Zhi also carries a lot of props at the bottom of the box, possibly including military talismans!"
The man's background is extremely profound. They have known this for a long time, but it was only mentioned in ordinary words. Now that they will actually face it, the feeling is completely different.
"Have you found out anything about Lu Zhi?" Dian Wei asked.
"Lu Zhi is a Confucian commander, upright, rigorous in military management, and good at command. As for his military power, our Dao Yu Department sent several people in the early stages of the Heavenly Stage to assassinate him, but he easily defeated them. According to I guess he might be a divine general!" Yu Du said with a solemn look in his eyes.
Among the people in the dynasty, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song had the most outstanding military exploits.
"Lu Zhi came to our Jizhou, Zhu Jun went to Yuzhou to conquer Bocai, and Huangfu Song went to Nanyang to deal with Mancheng. They all found our core lifeline. It seems that the Han army also knows us very well!"
"No matter what happens to them, Envoy Bocai and Envoy Mancheng are both great talents and should be able to deal with them. As long as these three troops are eliminated, the north and south will be safe and sound, and they can continue to wait for other states and counties. News!"
"Alas... What a pity, brother Yuanyi! Entering Luoyang, even if you have a god-level cultivation level, you will not be able to escape. Otherwise, we may consume the Han Dynasty's heritage and luck faster."
"Although the Han Dynasty was in a state of decay and had a weak ruler, there were still many talented people! Entering Luoyang, the capital of the gods, was a thrilling experience..."
"You don't need to be like this. They have the foundation, and we have the foundation too! As long as we can completely annihilate these five legions, it may have a decisive role in the invasion of Sili!"
"When the time comes, we will march straight in. Without the five legions, Hulao Pass is just a paper tiger! Break it with ease!" An elegant counselor stood up and encouraged.
"As for the death of Chief Ma, we will avenge him!!" They had learned the details of what happened in Luoyang through the Dao Yu Department who later entered Luoyang.
Originally, Ma Yuanyi was in charge of the Dao Yu Department, but after he was killed in battle, he was handed over to his deputy Yu Du. This unit is actually equivalent to the Night Shadow Department in the Great Wilderness Territory, except that it did not obtain props similar to the Ten Thousand Shadows Monument. Dao Yubu is just a Taiping Taoist priest who is good at inquiring about information.
If Lin Mu were here, he would definitely recognize this figure. It was the Guo Tu he had seen before!
Dian Wei, the divine general of Taiping Dao, and Guo Tu, the military advisor, have both come to the front line!
"Commander Commander, now, should we fight to the death to resist the enemy's invasion of Jizhou, or should we implement the advice of Military Advisor Huo Zhu, lead the army into the state, and attack them separately?" Dian Wei took a deep look at Guo Tu and asked in a solemn voice. .
"Of course, we follow the advice of the Huozhu military advisor! However, in the early stage, we will change our strategy and resist the enemy's attack first to consume their energy!"
"After all, they came all the way from Luoyang to fight, and they must have killed many of our lords. They came with victory and were as powerful as a rainbow!" Guo Tu analyzed clearly.
"Rumble!!" At this time, a series of roars came, and waves of slight earthquakes came.
The Han army is coming!
Everyone watched with bated breath.
I saw two bright lights slowly appearing on the distant skyline, one glowing with cold black light, and the other glowing with thick yellow light.
The black ones are clearly cavalry troops.
The cavalry was originally very fast, but the calm Lu Zhi did not let the cavalry go first, but came with the Changshui Legion.
An army of 800,000 people swept in like a giant wave in the ocean.
In the camp of yellow light, there are also huge ferocious instruments, which are constantly being pushed over by the soldiers.
"Report!!" At this time, an urgent voice came.
"Reporting to General Dian and the county magistrate of Guantao, they took the remnants of the fleeing troops and attacked the city again. Currently... Guantao has been captured!" the messenger panted violently and reported.
"Magistrate Guantaoju, that guy is not dead?!" Yu Du exclaimed.
"Didn't we send troops to encircle and suppress them? How come Guantao City was captured instead?!" There was a hint of surprise in Guo Tu's soft eyes.
