Chapter 72 Departure! Target Bayu Land
Liu Hao looked at the training blueprint in his hand, but he still couldn't calm down. This special unit came too suddenly and was too surprising.
Liu Hao knew clearly that the Iron Buddha was considered to be the ultimate unit of cavalry in the cold weapon era.
The weight of more than sixty kilograms gives people endless safety. This iron pagoda is the same as the foot armor, which is covered with armor from head to toe. Only a pair of eyes are left outside. The left hand is equipped with a prototype riding shield, and the right hand holds
They have guns, hammers hanging on their waists, and their horses are also heavily armored. From a distance, the men and horses look like iron towers.
An overwhelming murderous aura is approaching. In the era of cold weapons, it is estimated that it is difficult for any military unit to pose a threat to the Iron Buddha Tu under the same conditions.
Liu Hao felt that if he could really train this army, he would definitely be able to shock the other princes of the Zhou Dynasty when he faced them in the future.
Thinking of this, an evil smile appeared on Liu Hao's lips.
A few days later, as Wei Shen's envoy, Wei Shen was ready to go back. Liu Hao took hundreds of officials to see him off outside the city. The two said goodbye reluctantly, as if they had been friends for many years.
Wei Shen once again assured Liu Hao that after he returned to China, he would immediately send someone to deliver weapons and supplies so that Liu Hao could wait with peace of mind.
And Liu Hao also promised Wei Shen again that he would definitely follow Wei's lead and stand on Wei's side in the future.
But when he stood at the top of the city and couldn't see Wei Shen's back, Liu Hao's face immediately turned cold. Without saying a word, he walked down the city wall.
When Liu Hao returned to the Qin Palace and sat on everyone's seats, he looked at Zhuge Liang and others who had just sat down and asked: "Everyone, now that we have stabilized Wei, what should we do next? Let's talk about it.
Bar."
Liu Hao said this, but he kept looking at Zhuge Liang, Huang Mao and the others who he had placed his hope in.
Liu Zheng and Shen Yu are typical military generals. Is it okay if you let them go on the field to kill people and make suggestions? Forget it.
"To inform the king, I believe that before fighting foreign affairs, we must first stabilize the domestic situation. If the domestic situation is unstable, foreign affairs will be unpredictable." Zhuge Liang spoke up first.
"Oh, do you have any good ideas?" Liu Hao asked.
Zhuge Liang, Huang Hao and others looked at each other and said, "Your Majesty, we should take two steps. The first is to make arrangements for domestic defense, and the second is to expand externally."
"What you said makes sense, but what exactly needs to be done?"
"Reporting to the king, in my opinion, if our country of Qin wants to send troops, we need to arrange three places."
"Hmm? So where are those three places?"
"The monarch is now at the beginning of autumn and needs to be on guard against Eastern Dijon. Although according to reports from spies, there has been civil strife in Eastern Dijon in recent years. Xiao Huan, the Right Xian King, was dissatisfied with the old Khan Xiao Bing who passed the throne to his second brother Xiao Zhen.
, and raised troops to rebel. Now they have an overwhelming advantage.
Although Xiao Zhen has not yet been completely defeated, it is not far behind. Therefore, Liyang, which is closest to East Dijon, still needs to station troops for defense."
"In your opinion, who can be sent to guard Liyang?"
"I think we can send General Shen Yu to Liyang." Zhuge Liang glanced at Shen Yu and said to Liu Hao.
"Why Shen Yu?" Liu Hao asked in confusion. In his mind, Liu Zheng was the one to guard Liyang.
"Your Majesty, General Shen Yu used to be the city guard general of Liyang and is very familiar with the situation in Liyang.
In addition, General Shen Yu has a calm personality and is calm in situations. But more importantly, the general needs to be in charge of Xia Yang.
Because the geographical location of Xiayang City is very critical, with Chen State in the east and Qiang Wei in the north.
Although we made peace with the Northern Wei Dynasty, we still have to be on guard! Chen Guo was newly defeated last year, but it failed to break the bones, so we need to be on guard even more.
Therefore, it is most appropriate for the general to be stationed in Xia Yang!" Zhuge Liang explained when he saw that Liu Hao did not understand why Shen Yu was placed in Liyang.
Liu Hao heard this and thought it made sense, so he said to Shen Yu, "Shen Qing, would you like to garrison in Liyang?"
"I am willing to defend Liyang to the death! I am here in the city!" Shen Yu said loudly to Liu Hao.
"Okay, okay, there's no need to say whether you'll die or not, just do your best!" Liu Hao waved his hand and said.
Then Liu Hao turned to Liu Zheng and said, "Uncle Wang, I'll trouble you to garrison Xia Yang!"
"I accept your order!" Liu Zheng said.
Then Liu Hao asked Zhuge Liang again, "Qing, how do you think we should attack the land of Bayu?"
"When I returned to my country, I thought that the land of Bayu and Chongqing was full of mountains and rivers, making it inconvenient to travel. Also, sending too many soldiers would put too much pressure on logistics.
The land of Bayu is all a fortified city, and the number of soldiers is not important. We only need 50,000 elite soldiers to sweep the land of Bayu."
"Fifty thousand?" Liu Hao was surprised. Previously, because the barbarians in Bayu were plundering everywhere, the surrounding princes gathered an army of 200,000 and failed to attack Bayu. Now Zhuge Liang told him that 50,000 soldiers would be enough. The attack on Bayu had to surprise Liu Hao.
"Yes, Your Majesty, our expedition against the barbarians this time requires Huairou as the main force and siege of the city as a supplement. So we don't need many soldiers."
Liu Hao thought about it and realized that Zhuge Liang seemed to be right. So he nodded in agreement, and then said, "In this case, Zhuge Aiqing, how do you think we should arrange the candidates for the conquest?"
"Your Majesty, I think we only need to send 10,000 recruited troops, 20,000 fighting troops, and 20,000 garrison troops. After all, we still need to guard against Beihu."
"Well, that makes sense. In your opinion, I will personally lead an army of 50,000 to the land of Bayu!"
"Please be the vanguard!" Yan De and Bai Lun said at the same time.
Then Bai Lun and Yan De looked at each other again. Yan De immediately said to Liu Hao, "I would like to report to the king that since I entered Qin, I have not made any achievements. I am facing the king shamelessly! This time, please do me a favor." Pioneer! I am willing to serve as the king, paving the way when encountering mountains and building bridges when encountering water!"
Seeing that what he said was serious, Liu Hao couldn't refuse. After making eye contact with Zhuge Liang, he said to Yan De, "Since you are willing to be the vanguard, then I promise you that I will give you 10,000 troops to go first! Do it for me." The army opens the way!"
"Here!" Yan De saluted Liu Hao and said.
The next day, the 50,000-strong army that had been assembled was neatly lined up outside Xia Yang City.
Under the service of Chu Qingyou and Liang Rui, Liu Hao put on special armor. Under the reluctant eyes of the two women, he mounted his horse and walked towards the outside of the city.
When Liu Hao clicked on the general platform and looked at the mighty army below, Liu Hao's heart was filled with pride!
"Soldiers! We have finally come this far! We have come to a step for the expansion of the Qin State! This is the first step for our Qin State to strive for supremacy in the world! It is also a step for our Qin State to use the sharp sword in our hands to build an eternal foundation for future generations!
Are you willing to use the sharp knives in your hands to fight bravely for our country, Qin?"
"war!"
"war!"
"war!"
"I said! Whenever our great Qin warriors go to war, I will personally send them off!
This time, I will not only send you off personally, but I will also lead you to conquer Bayu together!"
"Wonderful victory! Ten thousand victory! Ten thousand victory!"
"Ding, in view of the current situation in the host country, the second phase of the "Rising Sun" main mission is now released, and the third phase of the "Sword Points at Bayu" mission requirement: annexing the land of Bayu. Completing the mission can obtain rewards: two big draws.
, one small lottery, and one random troop lottery.”
