Huaizhou, Tongyang City.

Mu Lin, the general of the second army of Xubian Army, was giving orders to the soldiers in front of him.

Huaizhou was closer to Shangjing than Beilin, so it received the secret order in advance.

He made arrangements in advance, and all armies had arrived at the border and were ready.

Now he wants to give the final order.

"You will send this order to all the generals without any mistakes!"

"yes!"

"Go ahead."

A group of soldiers went to deliver the secret order, and batches of fast horses galloped out of Qingyang City.

It will be delivered to the generals at daybreak for preparation during the day and action at night.

This raid was also mainly based on cavalry.

Hao Cang, the commander-in-chief of Xubian Army.

There are two deputy commanders at the same level: Cao Bin, the general of the first Xubian army, and Mu Lin, the general of the second Xubian army.

The strength of the two armies is roughly the same, each with more than 200,000 troops, which does not include the permanent Zhenbei army.

Because the Zhenbei Army is independent.

Since there has been no war in these years, the Zhenbei Army finally had some free time. After successive replenishments, it finally reached its full allocation of 300,000!

The recruitment of the Zhenbei Army is different from other legions, and the requirements are even stricter, especially regarding the source of soldiers.

All come from the north.

In other countries, the biggest difficulty in forming cavalry is not the strength of the troops, but the horses!

But for Daning, the most indispensable thing is war horses.

With the back garden of Nanman, we can continuously provide war horses. If they are not excellent, we don’t want them, but they are so willful...

Now, because the war is about to break out, all the 300,000 Zhenbei Army troops have been transferred to the border, and 200,000 troops have been placed on the Second Army's side.

One hundred thousand troops were placed there!

It stands to reason that the Liang State's army is stronger and has more troops, and the focus should be on Beilin Province.

This is not the case.

The main attacker in this war is Wei!

In other words, we must attack Wei first.

The reason is simple!

Wei State provided military supplies and food for Liang State. As long as the support was cut off, Liang State would naturally be unable to support it.

Even the 30,000 Guan Ning cavalry were allocated 20,000 for the Second Army, leaving 10,000 for the First Army.

This explains the problem very much.

Yes!

Guan Ning’s cavalry is also here!

For this war, Guan Ning mobilized almost all the troops he could use!

The north was completely liberalized and no troops were stationed.

With the Kled tribe here, the troubles in the north don't exist at all.

In addition, the 30,000 northwest troops have not been mobilized. This is to maintain stability in the northwest.

In addition, the 200,000 new recruits have also arrived!

The first army and the second army are divided into 100,000 each!

In other words, the total strength of the Second Army now totals more than 500,000 troops!

This force is already quite large.

Guan Ning once told Wu Liangxian, the envoy of the Wuliang Ministry who came to Daning as an envoy, that Daning had millions of troops.

It's an exaggeration, but it's not too outrageous.

Even so, there is still a big gap compared with the enemy...

So crazy!

This was what Mu Lin had felt for a long time. He was stationed at the border and had a good grasp of the enemy's situation.

Wei, which was not considered a strong military power, had about 700,000 troops, not counting the two legions transferred from Liang.

Crazy!

Really crazy!

According to intelligence, east of Huaizhou, the intersection between Daning and Wei is no longer land, but a large river named Changjiang.

On the other side of the Changjiang River, a series of military camps were set up!

It was obvious that they had plans to cross the river.

This has made the people in several southern states extremely uneasy...

The scale of the war is so great that it covers almost all intersecting borders, and no mountains or rivers can stand in the way.

These countries are betting on their national fortunes to fight this war.

If you win, you will go to glory!

If you lose, you will never recover!

Mu Lin was thinking, feeling very calm inside.

The State of Wei and the State of Liang had obviously reached an agreement long ago. According to the information he had received, when the war officially started, Emperor Jianwu of Wei would personally lead the expedition.

As long as Wei Jun does not arrive, there will be no preparations for war.

Then their raid will be successful!

yes!

How could they have thought of that?

Not only is Your Majesty not afraid of war, he is also determined to take the initiative to attack...

The day passed quickly.

The time came to January 20th.

The first month has not passed yet.

This day is destined to go down in the annals of history. The war that will be recorded by later generations as having the largest scale and longest duration, and being called the War of Destruction, has begun!

Destroy the world!

These two words say it all.

It started on this ordinary night!

The starry sky is bright, and the bright moon in the sky tears through the darkness under the night, bringing a little bit of light.

Black shadows moved together.

This is a cavalry, a huge cavalry!

The dark-coated war horse and pitch-black armor make this combination seem to blend into the night!

This is a Zhenbei Army with 50,000 people, led by General Bai Shaoyuan.

Bai Shaoyuan is known as a legendary general.

He is the most famous general in the Zhenbei Army after the great military aircraft Pang Qingyun.

Legends are due to their merits.

In the first battle with the Liang Kingdom, he was ordered to lead his lone cavalry deep into the Liang Kingdom to complete Guan Ning's strategy of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao"!

Fortunately he lived up to his fate.

Finally, he attacked Bianjing, the capital of Liang State, completed his important task, and returned safely with his troops.

During the war with the Northern Yi, he was ordered to lead a lone cavalry to attack the royal city of Asote and bring back countless gold and silver.

His military exploits are outstanding and dazzling.

After the Battle of Beiyi, Guan Ning named him the Champion Marquis.

He also asked him what reward he needed.

He said that he only wanted to lead troops, not command them.

One word difference makes a world of difference.
