In addition to the 30,000 Green Dragon Army, the 50,000 Shenwu Army plus the White Tiger Army, Xuanwu Army, Suzaku Army, etc.
Zhao Kang reluctantly gathered a hundred thousand troops and rushed to the frontline battlefield.
In addition, Xu Ning had previously asked Yu Chenggong to lead 100,000 people and Wu Yu had previously taken away 30,000 Xuanwu troops.
Zhao Kang now has 230,000 people at his disposal.
230,000 compared to Xiao Feiyu, now at least 400,000 plus the two troublemakers Long Han and Wu Xiong.
It seems that it is not enough, but Zhao Kang doesn't think so.
During this period of time, he has been studying maps. He can say that he has completely memorized the topography of Yizhou, Bingzhou and other places after Xuzhou.
The rugged terrain along this stretch was a natural barrier. Xiao Feiyu's highly capable cavalry was basically unable to move forward in this area and could only dismount and fight.
Then it’s time to play. ??
"Handsome."
Hua Feng, the commander of the Shenwu Army, rode his horse from far away and called out respectfully.
Zhao Kang smiled and asked, "What's wrong with General Hua?"
As the commander of Jingguo's most elite troops, Hua Fengyuan is naturally a rare talent.
He hesitated before saying, "Commander, the general is a little confused. Now that Xuzhou has been captured, why don't we march to Yizhou to join the army stationed there? Instead, we have to go directly to Cangshan to face the enemy. The gap in strength is so big.
I’m afraid we are no match for them.”
Hua Fengyuan's words undoubtedly meant to make others' ambitions destroy his own prestige, so he was very cautious when he spoke.
Zhao Kang said happily, "General Hua, don't worry. I already have a process in mind on how to fight this battle. Soldiers are more important than having more troops. In the future, wars will not be won by just having more people."
There were some very hilarious things about the previous wars. At that time, they were called righteous wars. Before fighting, we had to explain why we were fighting and when we were going to fight.
> Lead people from both sides to charge for a while, whoever has more people wins.
Later, gradually, the generals of various countries also learned to be cunning and no longer fought so-called righteous wars.
The intrigues begin, but some things remain the same.
For example, if the number of troops is falsely reported, 30,000 horses and auxiliary troops are counted as no more than 50,000, so in order to build momentum, it is said to be an army of 100,000.
If it exceeds one hundred thousand, it is said to be three or four hundred thousand!
So much so that some generals made a joke. They heard that the enemy had an army of 100,000, but according to the rules, that was only 30,000 or 40,000.
As a result, when the fight started, Nix discovered that the other party had really brought an army of 100,000 troops.
Jokes like this happened often before.
But now, Zhao Kang believes that since firearms have become available, future wars will really not be decided by the number of people.
Hearing what Zhao Kang said, Hua Fengyuan was relieved. He had already seen what Zhao Kang was capable of in the previous battle to relieve the siege of Huajing City.
At least it would have been impossible for him to lead those tens of thousands of people to break through the enemy's encirclement and push them all the way.
Because they suffered heavy losses in Xuzhou City and more than 100,000 troops perished in the flames, even Xiao Feiyu felt a little panicked and ordered the entire army to be on alert and did not attack rashly.
This gave Zhao Kang time to march.
After a few days, Zhao Kang and his army also felt the scope of the Cangshan Mountains. The Cangshan Mountains behind Xuzhou were a barrier to Bingzhou.
If the enemy army crosses this line, then Bingzhou, which owns the imperial capital, will basically be meat on the chopping board.
Cangshan is still a long way from Yizhou, so the order of 800 li plus
