Chapter 321 Before the War (2)

Suddenly, countless troops poured into the vast plains.

After more than a month of confrontation, both the Caesars and the ancient Taoist beard accumulated enough strength.

At the same time, without any warning, they chose today almost at the same time as the day of the decisive battle.

In the south, the Han army was lined up in batches. On the east, there were the 50,000 Canglang Legion commanded by Wang Honghan and the Huanglong Legion commanded by Liu Zhengmin.

To this day, whether it is Wang Honghan or Liu Zhengmin.

Under the appointment of the new emperor Liu Zhengting, they have been transferred from deputy to chief and served as the commander of the second legion.

These 100,000 coalition forces are among the top elite soldiers and generals in the Han army. They stand in the wind and are full of momentum.

On the west side, flags embroidered with golden eagles flying spreading their wings dancing in the wind. The 80,000 Sky Eagle Legion was already ready under Zhang Jinzhong's command.

To everyone's surprise, the central government was actually the Cheng family's 100,000 private troops.

Whether it is fame, morale, or combat effectiveness, they should be the weakest link in Gu Daoyan's hands. However, Gu Daoyan chose the most difficult task they had to serve as the central garrison.

Not to mention the enemy, even their own people are thinking about it but can't figure it out.

Behind the Han Central Army, a tower several meters tall stood.

Above the tower, ten feet long and wide, a group of senior generals such as ancient road beard are here. They look at the battlefield from afar and guide the country.

Far away from them were the gathering of all the Golden Wolf Army, Pegasus Legion and hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Xianbei, Di, Jie and Qiang tribes.

The 100,000 Golden Wolf Army occupied the central position with great confidence. They were the most powerful army on the mainland. They were famous all over the world and were intimidating. Therefore, they became the central army of the Huns without any dispute.

On the east side, the one that is far away from Huanglong and Canglang, the 100,000 coalition forces, is the coalition forces of various ethnic groups in the grassland. In addition to the four major ethnic groups, there are still 10,000 reserves for the Huns.

In the battle of the Northern Frontier, the red ocean was indeed more than half of the damage, and it suffered the most severe blow in history. However, the four northern tribes were not feeling well. In addition to the cunning Di tribe Nan Yiliao, who preserved his strength, the other three tribes were also seriously injured. At this point, the 100,000 army was only 70,000 left.

However, on the plain, the place where the cavalry can play its greatest advantage. Although the number of people is slightly inferior, they may not be at a disadvantage.

In the west, the 80,000 elite soldiers of the Sky Eagle Legion were the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Pegasus Legion and the 10,000 Xiongnu reserve troops.

From 60,000 to 80,000, it also tends to be weaker in terms of number of people.

In addition to the central army and the two major forces had the same number, the numbers of the two armies and the Han army had an absolute advantage.

The number of people from the Huns has always been the biggest pain in the hearts of Shanyu in all dynasties.

Even at its peak, their regular army never exceeded 300,000.

In the battle of the Northern Frontier, the Golden Wolf Army, like the Pegasus Legion, lost nearly 20,000 elite troops. They drew strong men from the reserves of the clan to supplement their previous losses.

Another 20,000 reserve troops were mobilized to follow the army.

This - is already the largest force that the Huns can mobilize.

In the north, the more places they occupied, the more they were short of their manpower. Although some surrendered Han officials were activated, their loyalty was still to be examined, and it was still necessary to stay a certain number of troops.

In their hometown, a guardian army must also be left to deal with any possible mutations.

The Huns were able to gather more than 150,000 troops on a battlefield, which can be described as full bloom.

Fortunately, such a vast plain can accommodate such a large number of people than ever before.

This is also the biggest reason why both sides chose this place as the decisive battle site together.

There are horns and drumbeats.

The troops were marching like countless giant dragons in various colors, winding and squirming on the emerald green fields.

In the Golden Wolf Army, Hami Thorns looked at each other from a distance, with a solemn expression.

"National Master, is he crazy about Gu Daoyan?"

The person who asked was the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun, who seemed puzzled by the actions of Gu Daoyan to actually place the Cheng family's unknown 100,000 private soldiers in the center.

Everyone knows that the combat power of private soldiers is far from comparable to that of regular legions. No matter how powerful they are, can they still be stronger than the three legions of the empire?

Hami sneered sarcastically: "I don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd of Gudaoyan." He took a deep breath, and the voice actually had a bit of admiration:

"However, twenty years ago, I had fought with him in the northern border. He was both cautious and bold. Hehe... I have never seen such a general except for one person. So I can't explain why he did this, and I can't even be sure whether he was making a fool of himself."

Twenty years ago, the Huns marched south in large numbers and invaded the border.

The Red Ocean and the Canglang Legion were defending and waiting for assistance, but gradually became ineffective. Gu Daoyan was ordered to lead troops to support him. The Sky Eagle Legion went north to fight against the enemy, and fought several battles with the 50,000 Golden Wolf Army commanded by the Hami Sect, but returned with a small victory.

This is the only defeat in Hami Tsai's life, and how could he forget it?

"One person is there? Who is it?"

Maodun asked, as if curious, he was asked.

"Jiang Kongming..."

The name of this person that worried him slowly came out of Hami Tsui's mouth.

The Battle of Taiyuan is a battle that determines the fate of the Central Plains. However, this person was trapped in Wolong City and could not be in person. He did not know that it was a kind of luck, admiration or a deep regret.

Ten miles away from the main battlefield, a group of men dressed in fancy clothes and painted with colorful oil on their faces were sitting cross-legged on the ground without doing anything.

Gengyang said indignantly: "We are here to help them fight, but they are guarding us like thieves. Hum..."

Xu Haifeng paused a little. Although he did not tell Geng Yangming, as long as he saw that he changed his appearance and refused to reveal his name openly, he knew that there must be a reason for it.

Gengyangyuan also guessed how many times he could do, so he cooperated very well along the way. Even when facing the messenger sent by Gu Daoyan, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Xu Haifeng came forward to take care of everything.

However, looking at the three thousand infantrymen stationed in front of him, he felt a hint of anger in his heart.

In front of them, the three thousand private coalitions formed by the southern family were waiting for the battle.

Although they were on the same level as them, they seemed to be defending against the Huns on the surface. However, Gengyang could see at a glance that these people were guarding against their own fake barbarian soldiers.

In his heart, no matter what kind of abacus Xu Haifeng had, he helped the Han people.

But Gu Daoyan's actions disappointed him.

He was so proud of his prestige among the barbarians that he was rarely treated like this. He was naturally dissatisfied with his heart.

"cough……"

He coughed gently, for some reason, Xu Haifeng also developed this habit. Before speaking, he coughed to show that he had something to say.

Geng Yang's head turned around and looked at Xu Haifeng.

"Brother Gengyang, the battle is about to begin." Xu Haifeng said lightly as if aimlessly.

“That’s right.”

Xu Haifeng's voice suddenly became stern: "Okay, then Gengyang obeys the order."

Geng Yang was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, Xu Haifeng immediately seemed to have changed a different person, and even his name changed immediately. He is also a great man of his generation and immediately understood.

During the war, there was no such thing as red tape. The division between the upper and lower parts was even more strict, so how could we call ourselves brothers?

Not only did he not think he was upset, but he felt a little relieved in his heart. This is the person who does big things.

Gengyang looked serious and said loudly: "In..."

"After the war comes, the Black Flag Army moves, and you will take your tribe and baggage out of the battlefield without any mistakes."

"Hmm? Yes..."

Gengyang was puzzled by this order, but he just lost his mind and immediately made the decision to obey the order.

In this battle, he was not the main general, and his three hundred tribesmen were not the main force in the battle.

In such a confrontation of tens of thousands, I am afraid that even a little splash can't be splashed. Instead of doing this, it's better to obey the order and be a turtle for the time being.

Moreover, he still had a little doubt in his heart, and he didn't know how far Xu Haifeng could go in this war, which was the biggest basis for him to decide to stop in the future.

If the Black Flag Army was wiped out in one battle, then all Xu Haifeng's promises would be empty talk and there would be no chance to fulfill them again.

Xu Haifeng smiled slightly, and he naturally understood Gengyang's hesitation. However, after today, he could be sure that the barbarians would become one of the most loyal troops in his army.

Because they will see a brand new black flag army, a real, invincible black flag army.

"Lin Jiahui..."

"exist……"

After looking at him deeply, Xu Haifeng asked:

"Did you remember your mission?"

"Don't worry, lord, I will never let my lord down."

Frowning, Xu Haifeng said dissatisfiedly:

"What I want is the living Lin Family Wedding, the Lin Family Wedding that I have issued the order, rather than asking for a dead person."

Lin Jiahui's face flushed, and he said aloud: "Yes, lord, you will definitely live up to your expectations."

After patting his shoulder, Xu Haifeng turned his head to Li Guanying standing beside him and said, "General Li, you are the same..."

"Yes..." Lee Guanying bowed deeply to the end: "I will do my best."

Xu Haifeng looked at the handsome face and slowly said, "If today's battle can be successful, you will be responsible for sweeping the enemy in the north - how about?"

Li Guanying suddenly looked up, and he looked at Xu Haifeng for a moment. The surprise in his eyes turned into hesitation. Finally, endless fighting spirit gradually surged. He said softly: "Thank you lord."

Xu Haifeng had a smile on his lips, and his eyes moved to Liu Junshu.

The latter bowed slightly to him. Although he didn't speak, his firm eyes had already given Xu Haifeng the best answer.

"The war is coming."

Xu Haifeng said slowly, and he raised his hand and waved his hand. More than 300 people immediately retreated with him. Behind him was a short mountain, one of the few highlands in Taiyuan.
