Chapter 1081: Guantaoju County Magistrate
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 in vain later, because Zhang Jiao knows that only by waiting for the heaven and earth dragon fortunes of 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 faces the other side, 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, Changshui 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?" Dian Wei 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!
Later, 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 force in 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's 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, did the [Dao Yu] you were in charge of find out the information about the fifth school of the Northern Army in Longting?" a Qu commander asked.
[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 Shooting Sound 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, Commander Lu Zhi also carries a lot of props from the bottom of the box, 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 current 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 Bo Cai, 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 they do, God Envoy Bo Cai and God Envoy Man Cheng are both talented and should be able to deal with them. As long as we wipe out the troops of these three people, the north and south will be safe and sound and continue to wait for news from other states and counties!"
"Alas... It's a pity for Brother Yuan Yi! Entering Luoyang, even if you have a god-level cultivation, you can't escape. Otherwise, we may consume the foundation and luck of the Han Dynasty faster."
"Although the Han Dynasty is corrupt and the emperor is in power, there are still many talents! Entering the divine capital Luoyang is a thrilling thing..."
"Everyone doesn't need to be like this. They have foundation, and we have foundation too! As long as we can completely annihilate these five legions, it may play a decisive role in the attack on 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 Ma Kuishou, we will avenge him!!" They have learned the details of what happened in Luoyang through the Daoyu tribe that entered Luoyang later.
Originally, the Daoyu tribe was in charge of Ma Yuanyi, but he died in battle and handed it over to his deputy Yu Du. This unit is actually equivalent to the Yeying tribe in the Great Wilderness Territory, but he did not obtain props like the Wanying Gong Monument. The Daoyu tribe is just a Taoist priest of the Taiping Dao who is good at getting information.
If Lin Muruo were here, he would definitely recognize this figure. It was Guo Tu who had seen it before!
The god general of the Taiping Dao, Dian Wei, and the military strategist Guo Tu, both came to the front line!
"Military strategist, then now, should we fight to the death to resist the enemy's attack on Jizhou, or follow the advice of the fire-injected military strategist, lead the army into the state, and attack it separately?" Dian Wei looked at Guo Tu deeply and asked in a concentrated voice.
"Of course, we follow the advice of the fire-injected military advisor! However, in the early stage, we will change our strategy and resist the enemy's attack first to consume their spirit!"
"After all, they have been killing all the way from Luoyang. They must have killed many of our comrades. They come with victory and are full of momentum!" Guo Tu analyzed in a serious manner.
"Boom boom!" At this time, there were roars and slight earthquakes.
The Han army is coming!
Everyone held their breath and watched.
On the distant skyline, two bright lights slowly appeared, one with a cold black light and the other with a heavy yellow light.
The black one was the cavalry.
The cavalry was originally very fast, but the calm Lu Zhi did not let the cavalry go first, but cooperated with the Changshui Corps to come together.
The 800,000 troops came like a huge wave in the ocean.
In the camp of yellow light, there were also huge and ferocious machines that were constantly pushed over by the soldiers.
"Report!" At this time, a hurried voice came.
"Report to General Dian, the magistrate of Guantao County, with the remnants of the escaped troops, attacked the city again, and now... Guantao has been captured!" The messenger reported with heavy breathing.
"The magistrate of Guantao Ju County, 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?!" Guo Tu's feminine eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
