The terrain of Youzhou is mountainous, which is not conducive to the use of Zhou's cavalry, but I don't know if it was for the purpose of marching from Youzhou to the imperial capital of Qian Kingdom.
This time the Zhou army chose to march outside Youzhou Pass.
The march of hundreds of thousands of troops was naturally easily discovered, so the Zhou army had not yet arrived outside Youzhou Pass.
Qian Guo has already made sufficient arrangements.
Yu Guanglong, the governor of Youzhou, arranged for the government to evacuate the people in various places early, along with the craftsmen who were mining iron ore in Yunshan Mountain.
Xiao Linglong and others had been among the army during this period. After receiving the news, they immediately mobilized the army and came to Youzhou to guard it.
At this moment, we are in Feiyan Pass in Youzhou, and the army's artillery has also been pulled into the pass.
Zhao Kang, who returned from Jingguo, rushed straight to Feiyan Pass without stopping. Eight of his horses were killed before he finally reached Feiyan Pass.
Xiao Linglong and others were overjoyed when they heard that Zhao Kang was coming, and quickly sent someone to meet him.
Seeing that Her Majesty the Empress, Yufeng, Xiao Xuance, Wu Qingluan and others were all safe and sound, Zhao Kang's heart finally dropped.
"You're all fine, that's great."
Knowing that Zhao Kang was worried about people like her, Xiao Linglong comforted her and said, "After receiving your letter, all of us will follow your arrangements and come to the army."
Zhao Kang said softly, "That's good. That guy's cultivation level is too high, so we have to guard against him."
When Xiao Xuance heard this, his face was full of murderous intent, "He actually dares to come back. We must not let him escape this time!"
Xiao Feiyu's existence has completely threatened everyone's safety. Zhao Kang can't even sleep peacefully without him dying.
Zhao Kang sneered, "Of course, but I didn't expect that in just one or two years, he would gather such a huge force, and now even the Kingdom of Zhou has been persuaded by him. The people who led the troops in the Kingdom of Zhou who is it?"
"General Wu Xiong, this person should not be underestimated.
, it is more difficult than Horn who was defeated by you back then." Xiao Linglong said quickly.
During this period of time, as the scouts conducted investigations, they had almost figured out who was leading the troops on both sides.
Zhao Kang asked, "Have you drawn a military map?"
Xiao Linglong sighed, looking a little helpless, "Wu Xiong's troops are arranged in an extremely organized manner, without any omissions. Our scouts can't get close at all."
"That's it, it doesn't matter if you don't have it."
After everyone sat down, Zhao Kang asked again, "How many troops do we have in Youzhou now?"
The army was all mobilized by Xiao Linglong, and Her Majesty the Empress knew it very well, and said, "The 50,000 cavalrymen of the Blue Dragon Army are here, and the 30,000 cavalrymen of the White Tiger Army are also here."
"Nine thousand artillery troops, a total of twenty-five cannons, and twenty thousand rounds of artillery shells were also delivered yesterday."
"Zhou Long's 30,000 elite troops are on standby in the imperial capital. In addition, 50,000 Xuanwu troops have gone to Tongzhou. I'm afraid that their attack on Youzhou is just a pretense."
"In addition to the remaining 30,000 Suzaku troops transporting gunpowder, there are a total of 10,000 Divine Thunder troops in the pass."
In addition to the 30,000 elite troops under Zhou Long's command, the Qian Kingdom's four armies, Qinglong, Xuanwu, Suzaku and White Tiger, are all new armies trained these days.
The Qinglong Army was commanded by Li Long, and the entire army was light cavalry.
The White Tiger Army is commanded by Sun Fang. The entire army is infantry. It is divided into three thousand Mo Dao soldiers led by Diao Ge and one thousand Xiaolong Guards under Zhang Long. This White Tiger Army of the Xiaolong Wei clan is a well-deserved ace army!
Good at operating behind enemy lines.
In addition, there are 6,000 personal guards of Sun Fang, who were trained according to the training method of Tianyu Army.
Habayashi Wei.
The remaining 20,000 men, 10,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 10,000 spearmen.
It is worth mentioning that the marksmanship practiced by these 10,000 spearmen was taught by Zhao Kang. You will only know how effective they are on the battlefield.
The Xuanwu Army was also an infantry force, and the leader of the army was Wu Yu, an infantry captain who had been in a trance with Zhao Kang.
As for the Suzaku Army, that's interesting. Strictly speaking, the Suzaku Army, which numbers only 40,000, is the most elite ace in the entire Qian Kingdom.
They are also the Qianguo army that has burned the most money in recent years! .??.
Suzakus belong to fire, and they are responsible for the use and research and development of firearms!
Among them, the 10,000 artillery corps responsible for operating cannons is the Suzaku Army.
In addition to the 10,000 artillery troops, there are also 10,000 divine thunder troops. These 10,000 people were carefully selected according to Zhao Kang's requirements.
There is only one requirement, be strong!
There is only one training subject every day, which is to throw stones. A stone weighing two kilograms. Whoever throws it far and accurately will have a higher official position!
The grenade that Zhao Kang obtained at Xiantian Pass was a simple version.
But the grenades in Qianguo are different. They are the result of research by craftsmen from Yuanjiang County and the Ministry of Industry during this period of time.
The time from ignition to detonation has been unified, and this Ten Thousand Gods Thunder Army is used to throw grenades.
The commander of this Suzaku Army is none other than Zhao Kang.
It can be said that the entire Qian Kingdom now has a total of 200,000 troops, and 60% of the elites are here at Feiyan Pass, totaling 109,000 people.
As for the Zhou army that came to Youzhou this time, Xiao Linglong and others had almost done their research during this period.
At least around 300,000, it can basically be said that the entire army was mobilized.
In less than ten years, there have been several wars, and even the most powerful Zhou State can only make up these people.
Yu Guanglong, the state pastor, was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty's Imperial Preceptor, my subordinates are a little confused. Why did the people of Zhou start from Youzhou this time?"
"We really need to march more concealed from Tongzhou, so we won't discover it so quickly."
Xiao Xuance said at this time, "This must have an ulterior motive. The terrain in Youzhou is not conducive to the cavalry, but they still came."
"Youzhou is close to the imperial capital. If it is breached, it will expose the country to the enemy. For this reason, we have to concentrate all our troops in Youzhou as a precaution."
Hearing what Xiao Xuance said, Her Majesty the Empress and Zhao Kang both nodded with satisfaction.
Wu Qingluan, who was already the prince's concubine, had little stars in her eyes. She didn't expect Tiedan to be serious and still have a lot of skills!
"Old Zhao, am I right?" After Xiao Xuance finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Kang.
Zhao Kang laughed and said, "Yes, he looks more and more like an emperor, but there is a second point."
Xiao Xuance quickly pricked up his ears and listened.
Zhao Kang whispered, "The Zhou people are here to hold us back."
Qin Yufeng on the side realized and thought, "Jing Guo!"
Zhao Kang's eyes were stunned. "Yes, their real goal is Jingguo. Now Jingguo, Xiao Feiyu and at least 500,000 to 600,000 barbarians are attacking Jingguo."
"The purpose of Zhou State sending troops is to prevent us from sending troops to support Jing State. Their purpose is to intimidate rather than actually fight us!"
Zhao Kang chuckled, "Li Muyi is really good at scheming after he became the emperor, but since you dare to come, I will make you regret being born!"
