The sun was rising, but the sky was dark, and the gentle wind was blowing up dust, paper, dust, etc. It was a standard cloudy day, and it might be windy and rainy.
It was originally a time for daily army training, but the city gates of Changshefu City were wide open, and an endless stream of mighty troops poured out from the east, south, and north city gates. Evil clouds covered the sky, adding to the cloudy atmosphere.
The Changshe Yellow Turban Army was a large army that surrounded the city in a giant fan shape, but it was not a close siege. The distance between the military camp and the city wall ranged from fifty or sixty miles to more than a hundred miles, and they also took advantage of part of the terrain.
Such a distance can give both armies a buffer distance and time, which is also the Yellow Turban Army's confidence and defense.
According to the deployment of Huangfu Song and other Han generals, the Han army divided its troops into three groups and attacked simultaneously.
The Yellow Turban Army outside the East City Gate is the most powerful and largest. It is where the headquarters of the Heavenly King Zhang Man is located. The number of troops is nearly five million. Huangfu Song, the general of Zuo Zhonglang, will be in charge and will lead an army of 800,000 Han troops, known as one million.
The Yellow Turban Army outside the North City Gate is commanded by the Human King Zhao Hong. The number of troops is nearly two million. Zhu Jun, the right middle man, will be in charge and will lead an army of 500,000 Han troops, known as 800,000.
The Yellow Turban Army outside the South City Gate is commanded by the Human King Sun Xia. The number of troops is nearly three million. It will be led by the third-rank Pingtou general Diao Chan. Assisted by his adoptive father Wang Yun, celebrities Kong Rong, Shang Shuang, etc., there are 100,000 flying cicadas. The new soldiers and more than 40,000 Feichan elite soldiers, plus 300,000 Han troops, totaled about 450,000, also known as an 800,000-strong army.
There are also about 300,000 Han troops in Changshefu City, but they are basically reserve recruits. The 1.6 million Han troops who went to war are actually mostly recruits who have just been recruited and trained.
However, the Yellow Turban Army still had an army of King Bocai of the Earth. Even though they lost hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers at Mu Shenling, the army they led still numbered around three million. This was because Bocai had the most wars and his numbers dropped sharply.
The Diwang Bocai Army was originally supposed to be stationed in the west of Changshefu City, but Zhang Mancheng was quite self-aware and chose the tactic of "surrounding three buildings and one". He did not let Bocai's army go and stayed in the camp to serve as a maneuver and also responsible for Logistics and other matters outside the battlefield.
In total, the Changshe Han Army's army was about two million; while the Changshe Yellow Turban Army's army was about 15 million, which was more than seven times that of the Han Army.
Of course, the status of the Yellow Turban Army is much greater than that of the Han Army. Most of them are ordinary people with no cultivation, and can only be called Taiping Sect followers; some have less than one-tenth of the cultivation level, and can be regarded as registered disciples of the Taiping Sect. I have never been exposed to Taiping Yaoshu; it is estimated that only one percent of the Taiping sect members have actually been exposed to Taiping Yaoshu.
Until three poles high in the sun.
The flood of Han troops out of the city had just subsided, and the vanguard armies of the three parties stopped a few miles away from the Yellow Turban camp.
The formations of the Han armies from the north, south, south, and south are all layered like dark clouds, stretching as far as the eye can see and covering the mountains and plains.
At this moment, a dense swarm of bodies, like a swarm of bees, swarmed from Changshefu City and scattered in three directions. Their momentum was like a rainbow, with the power to cover the sky and the sun.
These are all monks at the Foundation Establishment level and above, and they are also elites of the Han army. They can all fly with weapons or fly in the air.
There are tens of thousands in number, and their momentum is no less than that of a flock of birds.
At the vanguard of the three armies, instruments ranging in size from tens to hundreds of meters appeared, as powerful as giant steel beasts, eyeing the Yellow Turban camp.
There are catapults that look like nine-tailed foxes, battle chariots that look like rhinoceroses, giant ballistas that look like hundred-eyed monsters, thunderbolt chariots that look like monsters, and so on.
"This is the real war..."
The various deployments, situations and responses of the Han army appeared in Dugu Jialuo's "sky mirror", which made Dugu Jialuo sigh inexplicably.
In such a high-end situation, Yuan Wuxin, Dugu Jialuo and others were far away from everyone's expectations, and it was far from being comparable to a battle between rivers and lakes.
The most obvious point is that although there are countless groups of flying monks in the north, south, south, and south, the battle situation in the south where Diao Chan is responsible is obviously the least, with only a pitiful number of more than ten thousand people.
There are only more than 10,000 soldiers of the Han Army in the South who are not at the foundation level and above, and the Feichan Army alone is not the only one.
It's just that the Flying Chan Army is all riding on land, and there is no "air force" arrangement at all. Wu Xin, Dugu Jialuo, Diao Chan and others usually don't have that concept.
Of course, Diao Chan may have thought of it, but she didn't interfere much with the Fei Chan Army. After all, the Fei Chan Army belonged to Diao Chan in name, but in fact it was Wu Xin's private army, and Wu Xin and Dugu Jialuo had no concept of an "air force" at all.
Wu Xin occasionally thought about the "air force", but he thought about using birds to form it. He never thought about letting soldiers directly fly into the air or control weapons?
If the air force does not have flying mounts, is it still called an "air force"?
…
"boom……"
Naturally, the actions of the Han army could not be hidden from the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban camp quickly became restless, as if it were exploding, and the breath and momentum, as vast as the sea, quickly turned into iron-blooded evil clouds, which looked like stirring wind and clouds, and the color of the sky and the earth changed.
"As soon as the Flying Cicada Army arrived, the enemy thought of a full-scale counterattack? Do they have any trump cards or support? A mere 50,000 elite Flying Cicada Army..."
Countless intelligence flew to the middle of the Eastern Camp where the King of Heaven Zhang Mancheng was located. Zhang Mancheng frowned in deep thought and muttered to himself in confusion, but he did not hide it from others.
"Before, there were only 50,000 elite members of the Flying Cicada Army. However, after the war with King Bo, the number of the Flying Cicada Army increased to about 150,000..."
Human King Sun Xia glanced at Wang Bocai, and corrected him pointedly. After a pause, he continued like a yell:
"According to reliable information, King Bo's nearly 100,000 subordinates who were captured were all surrendered by the Fei Chan Army, and they were actually convinced and sincerely surrendered. How unpopular is King Bo... how unpopular is he?"
"Um?"
Earth King Bocai was furious and looked at Sun Xia with sharp eyes. He was furious, but he didn't know how to refute, and he couldn't refute it at all!
Facts are facts.
The battle of Mu Shenling was indeed the biggest stain on Earth King Bocai. Even if he defeated the famous general Zhu Jun, it would be difficult to wash away.
The management, or leadership, of the Taiping Religion is divided into the Three Gongs, Four Emperors and Eight Emperors, the Ten Heavenly Kings, the Twelve Earthly Kings, and the Thirty-six Human Kings.
Let’s not talk about the former for now, the latter are both kings, so the competition is naturally fierce.
More importantly, the pyramid-like structure of the Taiping Religion is not based on meritocracy. It is mainly based on distance and talent. There are many people who will be dissatisfied!
For example, although the Heavenly King Zhang Mancheng is the Heavenly King, the Li Emperor Guan Hai, the Sword Emperor Zhou Cang, etc. who are one level above him are not convinced. Instead, they think that he is a reckless man with a "simple mind and strong limbs", and they don't even pay attention to him.
It’s in!
The situation of Human King Sun Xia is similar. In terms of grade, Human King is one level lower than Earth King.
However, Sun Xia does not think that he is inferior to Bocai. At least now, judging from the armies of both sides, they are both about three million. Moreover, Bocai has just suffered a major defeat, but Sun Xia has won consecutive battles without any major defeats.
I can’t even look down on Wang Bocai!
"As expected, the Han army is planning to fight to the death this time! Depending on the situation, the Feichan Army will be in charge of the southern battlefield, and I will personally face the enemy at that time!"
With his thoughts changing, King Bocai did not argue with Sun Xia, but took the initiative to ask for help with a gloomy face. After a pause, he quietly sent a message to Zhang Mancheng:
"With the steady and cautious temperament of the two veteran generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, since they plan to fight to the death, they must have support. When I go to the south, I will also prepare for a rainy day..." 8
