Chapter 534 Northern Expedition

Because the war was approaching, the welcome dinner also turned into a military meeting. Zhuge Liang was a little surprised that he heard that there were 800,000 troops from the north and nearly 400,000 troops from the south, but Xuzhou, whose total strength was only 500,000 In the new army, all the generals showed no sense of worry on their faces. On the contrary, they were enthusiastic. They all boasted that only 100,000 troops could defeat the 800,000 coalition forces in the north. As for the Liu Zhang-Zhang-Lu coalition forces in the south, Miss Lu even said that she could defeat them with 30,000 Gangnu cavalry.

Are the generals of the Xuzhou New Army so arrogant? This is not a good thing, the so-called arrogant soldiers must be defeated...

"Mr. Farmer, why are you shaking your head? Do you think we are arrogant?"

"Don't you think everyone underestimated the enemy?" Zhuge Liang admitted without hesitation.

"...What do you think of our military strength?"

"I accompanied Brother Yuanzhi to see the training of the Xuzhou garrison. They are indeed elite troops. If they face twice as many enemies in the wild, they can still fight. If the opponent is also a well-trained elite army, The probability of winning is not high!" This is the conclusion Zhuge Liang came to when he accompanied Xu Shu to watch the training of the soldiers, but he didn't see a lot of powerful equipment during the training, and he saw that it was actually a recruit training camp, or a defender. , is not a real field army, so it caused a huge mistake on Brother Yi's cart.

"It turns out that what you're looking at is the training of recruits from the local garrison, not the combat effectiveness of the field troops. It's no wonder you, Mr. Farmer, always stay at home farming. Of course you don't know how powerful our new army field troops are." Nizi I am quite confident about the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou New Army's field troops. Not to mention anything else, it is the Phoenix Legion that I am in. Although the CCP only has 10,000 people, if it is against the coalition forces in the north, even the 100,000 troops are sure. win.

"What's the difference between this field force and the defenders?" Hearing about the field force Zhuge Liang was also a little strange.

"As for the field troops, in fact, they are all cavalry, with a total strength of 120,000."

"It turned out to be cavalry, but there are more than 200,000 cavalry in the Northern Alliance..."

"Of course they are not ordinary cavalry. All soldiers are equipped with invulnerable chain mail. Their weapons are uniformly equipped with hundred-steel knives for melee combat, long-range three-bow crossbows or newly equipped steel crossbows. If it is an encounter in the wild, It's no problem fighting against people who are ten times as powerful as you!"

"All of them are equipped with swords made of hundred-refined steel?" Xu Shu also has a saber that is said to be made of hundred-refined steel. Zhuge Liang has also tested it himself, and it can be called a magic weapon. If you have already equipped this kind of magical weapon, you will naturally take advantage of it when confronting the enemy.

"Of course, my sword is also made of 100-refined refined steel, and it's all mass-produced from the Lujiang Arsenal." Nizi said, taking out a saber she was wearing with her.

"Equipment with such good weapons, as long as they are well-trained, can indeed double the combat power of the army, but it is still not enough to face ten times the enemy."

"Just a simple sword is of course not enough. Don't you wonder that the sword and gun can't penetrate the chain mail? When the lord took out the chain mail, it shocked all of us, and the steel crossbow is even more powerful... ..." Nizi introduced the various powerful equipment of Xuzhou's new army in detail to this pig brother village man. Zhuge Liang was dizzy when he heard it. He only had one concept, powerful, it is too powerful.

If what this girl said is true, with the current strength of Xuzhou's new army, as long as they plan well, they can wipe out the world. Why doesn't the lord still take the initiative to attack? Yes, it must be because the expansion is too fast, and I am afraid of indigestion...

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was in a daze, he stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, awakened Zhuge Liang and continued, "You are shocked by the new weapons of our Xuzhou new army. When you go south, I will take you to see the combat power of our Phoenix Legion. "

"...Thank you so much, girl. I am really ignorant. It turns out that our army's equipment is so good!" It seems that Nizi is really joking. No wonder the soldiers are excited when they hear that there may be a war. no.

In order to reduce losses, Li Yunfei personally led the army to the north, and his subordinates led the army to rescue. Although they are sure to defeat the coalition forces, even if they win, they will definitely suffer heavy losses...

After the last assassination incident, after seeing how powerful the crossbowmen are, they will definitely be on guard. According to the reports from the spies, many of the enemy's teams are equipped with thick wooden shields, which will move very slowly. The shield slowly advances. Except for the bed crossbow, which can be dealt with, the ordinary steel crossbow really can't deal with it. They will definitely be attacked by the opponent and then hand in short soldiers first, unless they abandon the city and flee. I would like to see the situation, because the city is an important supply point, without the supply of the city, the large bed crossbow cannot be put into use.

It would be more dangerous if the opponent was allowed to get close to fight shortly. The Northern Alliance can be said to be like a cloud of fierce generals. If those fierce generals who are known as the enemy of ten thousand approached and dispersed their formation, it would be quite dangerous. .

...

Li Yunfei bid farewell to his beautiful wife and concubine early the next morning, and set up his army horses to prepare for the Northern Expedition. Of course, Zhuge Liang also woke up early, preparing to go south to take over the affairs of Jingzhou. He was still a little excited, a young man in his twenties , you have to meet the Ming Lord, and you can flex your muscles. This is the luck of life.

I had a lot of conversations with Li Yunfei alone last night, and I learned countless new knowledge theories, which can only be described as shocking. In a blink of an eye, I became a fan of Li Yunfei, and even performed the ceremony of master and apprentice on the spot.

"I'll leave the matter of Yuanzhi Xuzhou to you."

"My lord, don't worry, the students will do their best."

"Kong Ming, this is my order talisman. You can do things cheaply about Jingzhou. I'm waiting for your good news!" Li Yunfei directly gave Zhuge Liang a order talisman. He is a person who sticks to the end. Since he came to vote, he would not have any other thoughts, so he directly gave the command talisman.

"Thank you, my lord, the students will definitely live up to my lord's trust!" Zhuge Liang bowed deeply and said.

"Young man, let's show the world your unparalleled talent!" Li Yunfei said with a half-smile, then turned his horse around and left, leaving behind a few stunned people...

"Congratulations, brother Kong Ming, finally got what he wanted, and can make great achievements."

"Thank you, brother Yuanzhi, for your recommendation, I am very grateful."

"Brother Kong Ming, you are too polite. It would be a waste of your talents if you don't benefit the common people."

"Brother Yuanzhi praised you absurdly, I'm ashamed to be my little brother."

"Brother Kong Ming, why have you become so humble?"

"Little brother talked with the lord for a few hours last night, and benefited a lot. Before, I was a frog at the bottom of a well."

"It turns out that my lord's profound knowledge is beyond the reach of human beings. No wonder Brother Kong Ming was convinced." Xu Shu also said with emotion. He had also communicated with Li Yunfei several times before, and he was completely convinced by Li Yunfei's knowledge. It wasn't until later that Li Yunfei admitted in a disguised form that he was the reincarnation of an immortal, so Xu Shu was not surprised by Li Yunfei's often incomprehensible remarks.

Now Li Yunfei's power, Lujiang City can be regarded as the headquarters, it is quite safe with Chen Gong sitting there, Xuzhou has Xu Shu, naturally there will be no problems, and Dongwu has Liao Li, although he is not well-known, but he is actually an extraordinary talent. Otherwise, those wildfires in Soochow would not have been extinguished so quickly. Now that Jingzhou has Zhuge Liang to manage it again, it is not a problem to think about it. These people are all wise people, and all their potential has been squeezed out by Li Yunfei.

Chen Gong is good at collecting and dispatching food and grass, managing local administration, etc. Although he may not be as intelligent as the others, he is very serious and rigorous, and he can't make mistakes.

Xu Shu is good at strategy. It can be said that he is a talent with both civil and military skills. In fact, Xu Shu himself is quite good at martial arts. He can be regarded as a general, but everyone doesn't know it.

Liao Li is good at scheming, and he is also good at governing the local area, so he should be able to manage the Jiangdong land without major problems. As for Zhuge Liang, after more than two hours of communication last night, it can also be seen that he is almost an all-rounder, a top master in formulating strategies.

With these few people helping to manage the rear, it would be much easier for me to fight outside. The rear defense has stabilized money, food, weapons and equipment, and soldiers will be sent in a steady stream. Then everything is not a problem...

...

The ice on the Yellow River has melted, but several pontoon bridges have been built long ago, so you can directly lead the horses across the river. More than 100,000 horses and horses cross the river on several pontoon bridges. The scene is still very spectacular.

But in a blink of an eye, he saw a rather short figure in the crowd. He was short when he was riding a horse before, but now he got off the horse and was leading him. He was at most 1.6 meters tall, which was really conspicuous among the crowd.

It's really weird, that kid is still dressed as his own bodyguard, and his bodyguards are all tall and strong men, how could there be such a short man, why haven't I seen him before? But it is unlikely to be a spy, because this head is too conspicuous, but there must be something wrong with it.

"Thirty-six, go and bring me the short guy in front!"

"...No!" Thirty-Six hesitated for a while, and finally brought the person over, but the little man didn't dare to raise his head, but it was useless to bow his head when he got close, it turned out to be Miss Xiao Qiao.

"Why are you?" I was a little surprised how the girl followed.

"General, please don't drive me away. I'm just following orders. The lady asked me to serve the general." Xiao Qiao quickly explained, but in fact she was the one who asked Lu Lingqi for help.

"What a nonsense...Forget it, just stay with me for now!" Now that it's so far away, it's not appropriate to send someone back, so I can only take it with me.

"Thank you, General!" Xiao Qiao was also a little surprised that things had passed like this, but she was really happy.

"Stay in my tent at night!"

"Oh!" Xiao Qiao responded softly, but her face turned red.

"Little girl, what are you thinking, I'm just afraid that you will be eaten alive by those wolves!" He pinched Xiao Qiao's face and said.

"Yeah!" Xiao Qiao replied again, obediently following Li Yunfei's side.

Although she didn't quite understand what the general meant, she felt that the general cared about her, and she felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart. When she lived in the general's tent at night, the lonely man and widow shared the same room...
