Huang Zhong, who is as famous as Guan, Zhang and Zhao, has been listed in history as a fierce general.
He has no talent for commanding an army, but his swordsmanship and archery skills have been honed to an unprecedented level.
Many people in the later generations of the Origin World believe that when Huang Zhong was young, his physical strength was at its peak and his strength could be compared with Lu Bu's, and he was the most powerful general in the world at that time.
This statement makes some sense, because in his old age Huang Zhong can still compete with Guan Yu, so his strength in his youth will naturally be overestimated.
However, there is also a possibility that Huang Zhong has a very good physique and can retain 89% to 90% of the strength of his youth in his old age...
At this time, Huang Zhong, who came together with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, was not as famous as the first three in many illusory worlds, so he did not receive much favor from the world, and he had just stepped into the heavenly realm.
The strength of those who are strong in the heaven realm is also different.
There are invincible generals like Lu Bu and Xiang Yu who have mastered the laws and talents that greatly increase their combat power. There are also generals who have exploited their potential to the extreme before barely stepping into the heavenly realm.
This kind of generals, Lu Bu and Xiang Yu can easily fight one against many.
Guan Zhang, Zhao Huang, and Zhuge, there are only five Heaven Realm powerhouses coming to Shu Han. They look very scary. Some people even worry that they can use the Heaven Realm powerhouses to mobilize city-breaking power and push all the way. The world.
But unfortunately, this is impossible. Heavenly Realm is not invincible, or in other words, there is not just one Heavenly Realm general. All major dynasties have such existences. If the Shu Han were really so arrogant, they would suffer severe backlash within a few months.
At this time, the Heavenly Change had just ended, and not long after the shackles of the Heaven Realm were broken, they had a first-mover advantage.
After waiting another one, two or several months, people such as Fu Youde, He Ruobi, Yuwen Chengdu, Yang Zaixing and others under Wang Jing's command will definitely be able to break through the realm and step into the heavenly realm.
Therefore, Shuhan now has several heavenly realms that look good, but soon their advantage will not be great.
Moreover, due to the lack of successor talents, they will even be surpassed by several other dynasties and gradually be at a disadvantage. Also, the civil servants and generals under Liu Bei may seem to be shining brightly. Zhuge Wolong is famous throughout the ages, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are omniscient among thousands of enemies. However, their strength, even if they receive blessings and bonuses from the world, may not be as strong as those who rely on their true strength. Bai Qi Wang Jian stepped into the heavenly realm.
At this time, the civil servants and generals who have the potential of heavenly realm are seizing all the time to practice.
Fu Youde, who went to Jiangling to take charge, had already initially touched the threshold of heaven...
In the future, perhaps as time goes by, the Heaven Realm powerhouses will gradually become the same as today's ninth-level powerhouses. Although they are still at the top level of the Chinese world, they are no longer rare.
Inside the Shuhan camp.
After hearing Ma Di and Wei Yan's suggestions, Zhang Fei's expression changed and he felt a little entangled in his heart. If possible, he wanted to duel Lu Bu alone and defeat his opponent with his own true strength.
But thinking of Lu Bu's strength and the importance of leading the army out of Sichuan this time, he could only suppress the fighting spirit and dissatisfaction in his heart, and reluctantly said: "Forget it, I will write a letter to Chengdu and ask the prime minister to transfer General Huang here. Help out!"
"Guard the camp gate for the next few days and activate the formation to prevent the Xia army from attacking the camp..." Zhang Fei reluctantly compromised.
Sometimes, the higher the status, the greater the constraints. Only the emperor with the greatest authority can not be suppressed. As the leader of the army, Zhang Fei must suppress his own heart for victory.
On the wall of Yiling City.
Lu Bu returned to the city, looked at the Shu army camp in the distance, and snorted coldly.
Chen Gong was a little surprised. He, Tan Daoji and others clearly saw that Zhang Fei was severely injured. They thought that Lu Bu could kill his opponent by going after him, but they didn't expect that Lu Bu came back empty-handed.
After asking Lu Bu about the pursuit, he understood the reason. "Is the Shu army's formation in danger?"
Chen Gong frowned. With Lu Bu's current invincible strength, he could feel the danger. Is the Shu army's battle formation so powerful? If it can really compete with the top heavenly warriors, the Shu army will not be invincible!
Tan Daoji was listening on the sidelines, with a deep expression on his face.
Said: "The most powerful military formation of the Shu Han Dynasty is Zhuge Wuhou's eight formations. Is this the formation that Marquis Wen encountered?"
Lu Bu and Chen Gong's expressions changed slightly when they heard this. Zhuge Liang's Eight Formations Behind the Wind will leave their name in history. It is normal for powerful people in the Heaven Realm to feel danger.
"It's very possible!" Lu Bu said solemnly.
Upon seeing this, Tan Daoji said: "General, don't worry too much. I heard that Zhuge Wuhou's Eight Fenghou Formations are focused on defense and are most powerful when defending camps and facing hundreds of thousands of troops. But apart from these two aspects, there are other advantages It’s not obvious. Anyway, our army only needs to defend Yiling. When the opponent attacks the city, the eight formation diagrams will be useless!”
"Even so, we should not underestimate it. In the past few days, you and I will work together to strengthen the city formation and consolidate the city's defense!" Chen Gong said.
Everyone nodded and agreed. -...
Inside Jinling City.
Hundreds of warships have assembled on the shore, and there are a large number of soldiers serving as sentries on the shore. As long as they are still in Jinling, the central ministers will leave the city under the leadership of the important ministers of the three provinces to see them off.
This kind of scene has happened many times in Daxia. In every battle, Wang Jing brought his personal guards and many generals to the enemy's formation and won great victories again and again.
The families of many meritorious officials who moved to Jinling are somewhat accustomed to this scene. Their faces are mostly praying for their husbands, brothers, and sons in the army, praying that they can make great contributions in this war. Don't be unlucky enough to die on the battlefield.
As for the defeat of the Xia army... they had no such thoughts in their minds.
The elites of the Great Xia were invincible, and the emperor personally led the expedition, and had never suffered a defeat. This kind of performance has created the domineering and tenacity of Daxia's army, and also made the soldiers and civilians of Jinling feel more confident...
On the royal boat, Wang Jing, after holding a military discharge ceremony, boarded the boat with the civil and military personnel accompanying him.
He noticed the expressions of the soldiers and civilians on the shore, and also saw the pride in the eyes of the personal guards. "The opponents this time are the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Shu Han Dynasty...it's hard to deal with them!"
Wang Jingke was not as confident as ordinary people in Jinling. Of course, he was not afraid of his opponents. It was just that the enemies this time were different.
There is a saying in the later generations of the original world that states are always lost due to weakness, while Han Dynasty is lost due to strength.
The history of the Han Dynasty lasted four hundred years. If Ji Han is also included, it would be more than four hundred years. In such a long time, countless civil servants and generals have been accumulated, including a large number of ninth-level civil servants and generals.
Those with the potential of the Heaven Realm are far superior to other dynasties.
Wang Jing can predict that as time goes by, the Shu Han may not have much change in the Heaven Realm powerhouses due to the lack of talents, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there will only be more and more Heaven Realm powerhouses.
Deng Yu, Wu Han, Geng Yan, Jia Fu, Ma Yuan...these Yuntai generals, as well as famous generals outside Yuntai, all have the potential of the Heaven Realm.
"The key to going to Jiangling this time is to quickly start a battle with the Eastern Han Dynasty soldiers and horses and defeat them as soon as possible... As for the Shu Han soldiers and horses, as long as the Yiling Waterway is blocked, they will not pose much of a threat!"
Wang Jing had thoughts floating in his mind.
In the eyes of many people, the Shu Han army was as menacing as wolves and tigers, but in Wang Jing's eyes, it could only be ranked second in threat. What really caught his attention was Liu Xiu's army in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
While Wang Jing was thinking, the boat started to set off under the command of Lu Xun. on the way.
Military information from Jiangling, Yiling, Linxiang, and Jiangxia, as well as information delivered by the Military Intelligence Department in Jiangbei and Jiangnan, were transmitted to the imperial boat through specially trained dragon eagles.
"The leader of the Shu army is actually Zhang Fei?"
Wang Jing was a little surprised after seeing the military information sent by Yiling. In his mind, Zhang Fei was an enemy of ten thousand people. He could easily kill generals by charging into the formation and had a great reputation.
But he is just a fierce general, not a general commander. His achievements in history, except for three heroes fighting against Lu Bu, monopolizing Dangyang Bridge, and driving away "a million" soldiers, there seems to be no other famous achievements worth mentioning. Well, Yi Shi Yan Yan also counts, but with this, there is still a big gap between him and a truly victorious general.
Many people comment on the Shu Han, saying that the only general among the Shu Han is Guan Yu.
one. There is some truth in what the famous general Weiyu said.
Let Zhang Fei command an army of hundreds of thousands. Does he have the ability to command an army?
Not just anyone can easily command an army of hundreds of thousands with ease.
Later, Wang Jing saw the advisors and generals accompanying the Shu army, the brothers Ma Liang and Ma Su, and Wang Ping of Wei Yan... This combination was pretty good.
If Ma Su can calm down and accumulate experience in commanding troops, and not be so ambitious and conceited, and practice hard, he may become a qualified general in commanding troops in the future.
But now, Ma Di is a qualified counselor. He can be valued by Zhuge Liang in history. He has repeatedly offered suggestions and been valued, which proves that he is still very good at making suggestions.
His eldest brother Ma Liang was not weak in ability, and his domestic and foreign affairs skills were remarkable. He was also known as the best white eyebrow among the five permanent members of the Ma family. It was a pity that in history, he followed Liu Bei to attack Yiling and died after being sent as an envoy to the Wuxi barbarians. In the army.
Needless to say, Wei Yan and Wang Ping are capable.
With the help of these counselors and generals, although Zhang Fei could not command the army like an arm and a finger, general command and dispatch was not a problem.
"The most important thing is that the restricted terrain of Yiling is more suitable for strong generals to attack... It is not conducive to large corps operations! Let Zhang Fei act as a general, just right!"
Wang Jing had an enlightenment in his heart.
The military situation in Jiangling, Jiangxia and other places was not serious. Fu Youde had already gone to Jiangling and was sitting in command with Xie Xuan, Han Qinhu and others. The surrounding counties and towns were all bowed down and obeyed orders honestly under the shock of the army.
Except for Gan Ning's small-scale exploratory confrontation with Huan Yi at Honghu, the Xia Army and the Eastern Han Army made no major moves. "Your Majesty, Xiangyang is reporting that Han reinforcements have set off from Nanyang..."
At this time, Liu Bowen, who was accompanying the army as a counselor, came to report the urgent information that had just been sent. Wang Jing opened it immediately and took a quick glance.
"Jia Fu, the leader of the reinforcements, commanded more than 200,000 elite troops and marched south to Xiangyang... Adding the troops from Xiangyang and Hanchuan and other places, the number of troops in the Eastern Han Dynasty was 600,000 to 700,000!"
"Including Huan Wen and Huan Yi's troops, the number is about 800,000! If we add the hundreds of thousands of Shu Han troops, the number of enemy troops will be more than 1.2 million!"
Wang Jing frowned slightly and calculated the enemy's strength.
The enemy army of more than 1.2 million was comparable to when Wang Jing faced the armies of Zhu Ming and the Southern Song Dynasty at the same time.
However, unlike last time, the Shu Han and the Eastern Han were closely connected, and the strength of both armies was not weak.
"Currently, the spies have only found information about the reinforcements commander Jia Fu. The names and identities of the other generals need to be further investigated... Jia Fu is brave and good at fighting, and Feng Yi is a god in command. The two of them join forces and pose a big threat to Jiangling! "
Liu Bowen sighed.
Wang Jing put the memorial together and said: "The Han army has now gathered. In your opinion, it is better for our army to strike first and take the initiative to attack Xiangyang before the reinforcements of the Han army arrive. Or we should stick to Jiangling." , is it better to brake statically?"
Liu Bowen thought seriously and replied: "It would be a good idea for our army to go north to attack Xiangyang before the natural change. But now, just after the natural change, some heavenly warriors have arrived. In a short period of time, these heavenly warriors are very crucial. It can affect the outcome of a battle!"
"Our army doesn't know how many heavenly realms there are in the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially if there are any heavenly realms in Xiangyang, so it's best to stay calm!"
"I heard that General Fu is sure to break through soon, and General Yang Zaixing also has signs of a breakthrough... Our army might as well delay the time until they succeed in breaking through. Whether it is to defend the city or take the initiative to move north, our army has Enough chance of winning!"
Wang Jing was noncommittal.
What Liu Bowen said makes sense, but there are strong men in the Daxia army who are about to break through to the heavenly realm, and there must be such people in the Eastern Han army.
"Your Majesty... Our main force is deployed in this battle, and the generals are gathered here! Your Majesty is also personally in charge. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty needs to deal with Li Tang and Cao Wei, there will definitely not be many generals coming to Xiangyang to help in the battle!"
"Even if the opponent also has generals who are about to break through to the heavenly realm, our army can still have the advantage. Time is ours.
! Liu Bowen seemed to see what Wang Jing was thinking and added.
Wang Jing nodded slightly.
"Yes, the time is mine now!"
The river was turbulent and the warships were overwhelming. They passed Jiujiang, Jiangxia, and Linxiang successively, accepted visits from Gan Ning, Lu Meng, He Ruobi and others, and finally arrived at Jiangling a few days later.
Fu Youde and Xie Xuan had already received the news and were waiting on the shore in advance. After the visit.
Wang Jing and his ministers and many generals entered the city.
The civil servants who came with the army this time were headed by Gao Xi, Zhang Juzheng, Liu Bowen, and Xie Hui, and the military generals included Shi Wansui, Yuwen Chengdu, Lu Xun, Lu Kang, Yang Zaixing and others.
Coupled with Fu Youde, Xie Xuan, and Han Qinhu, at least half of Daxia's military elites gathered here. Looking at Fu Youde and Yang Zaixing who are about to break through, and Yuwen Chengdu who is also on the verge of breaking through.
Wang Jingdun is full of confidence.
Unlike the Eastern Han and Shu Han who only sent generals to fight, he personally went out and brought so many famous ministers and generals with him. If he was defeated, would there be any justice in this world?
