The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

However, the soldiers of Xu Huang, Guan Hai and others are still there, but Guo Jia did not mention these two people, mainly because Xu Huang needs to guard Jizhou and Youzhou.

Guan Hai and Zang Ba need to guard Qingzhou.

Although Tai Shici also wanted to protect Xuzhou, but Xuzhou was very close to Jianye, and Jianye's troops could guard it in a short period of time to prevent trouble.

As for the newly trained soldiers and horses of Wenpin and Sun Ce, they can easily go to support various places.

"Yes, these troops are more than enough for Liu Bei's [-] army."

"It's just that if Liu Bei joins forces from all parties to fight us in the final battle, then we will inevitably face more troops, and these troops will not be enough."

"Our troops are still short."

Liu Zheng couldn't help shaking his head.

In the elite soldier system he adopted before, soldiers and horses depend on being good, not many.

But now it seems that sometimes, all the elites are not enough, and some more reserve forces are needed in an appropriate amount, otherwise there will be not enough manpower at all.

The Wei State at its peak in history had 70 million soldiers and horses.

But now Liu Zheng's territory is not much different from Wei's, but he is full of tactics, no more than 30 soldiers and horses.

There are still some gaps. Thinking of this, Liu Zheng decided to expand his army.

On the existing basis, promote several new legions.

He first calculated the existing nine legions.

Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Zhou Cang, Wen Pin, Tai Shici, Sun Jian, Zang Ba, and Sun Ce.

Chapter 1000 two hundred 29 analyzing the situation

The nine legions currently under Liu Zheng's command all have an establishment of 2 horses.

But in the entire legion, there are not 2 people neatly.

Some corps recruit more soldiers and horses, there may be more than 2 people, not just 2.

But each regiment has at least 2 people, which is the number Liu Zheng counts when he pays them every month.

Other dynasties had serious military redundancy, but it was impossible for Liu Zheng to do so.

The team system he implemented allowed him to clearly know the number of people in each team, their names, their positions, and their responsibilities.

Moreover, the responsibilities of each of the nine legions are different.

The first legion established by Liu Zheng was the cavalry legion under Xu Huang.

Xu Huang is the legion that has followed Liu Zheng the longest and has been established for the longest time.

It was Liu Zheng who got more than 100 war horses from the very beginning.

There is a cavalry regiment formed with heart.

After more than 10 years of development.

The horses and even the soldiers under Xu Huang's command have been changed, I don't know how many batches.

Up to now, his cavalry regiment has finally taken shape.

And there is no shortage of horses and soldiers.

It's just that during the Northern Expedition, the cavalry under his command fought south and north, and suffered heavy losses.

Now there are only more than 8000 people left.

Although a large number of troops were re-enlisted last year, the cavalry corps was re-enhanced, and the cavalry was expanded to 3.

But these people, after all, are still newly recruited.

Still can't completely go to the battlefield to fight and fight.

It will take several months of honing to be able to give full play to the advantages of cavalry on the battlefield.

In addition, now Xu Huang is guarding Jizhou and Youzhou.

Be prepared for the attack of the northern grassland people at any time.

So although Xu Huang's strength has become stronger, he can't leave the north.

He must sit in the north.

The second legion established by Liu Zheng was the shooter battalion led by Huang Zhong.

Because archers need to practice for a long time and are carefully selected, they are selected from the hands of many soldiers, and there are not many people who can be competent archers.

So it is the shooter battalion under Huang Zhong, and the number has always been maintained at 2.

It is difficult to increase.

First, the number of soldiers who met Huang Zhong's requirements was insufficient.

Of course, it is also because the shooter needs a long time of training, and many times the number of people trained has not had time to be added in the future, and new troops will be killed.

As a result, the number of shooter battalions under Huang Zhong's command has always been around 2.

In the last battle of Hanzhong, they also lost a lot.Fortunately, after two years of training, the soldiers and horses under Huang Zhong's command have recovered very well.

The soldiers and horses of the third battalion were the infantry under Gan Ning.

Although Gan Ning was born as a water thief, he seldom commanded the water army under Liu Zheng.

Leading the infantry most of the time.Moreover, the training of the soldiers under his command is quite elegant.

It can be regarded as one of the few pawns under Liu Zheng who can dare to fight.

Of course, Gan Ning's troops are not just infantry, because you are good at water warfare, so a large part of his troops are also good at water warfare.

It can be regarded as a combination of amphibious and amphibious.

He is an elite teacher, and his soldiers and horses have been guarding the Jingzhou area in the past two years.

Only Jingzhou is suitable for the combination of land and water to fight.

The fourth battalion is Zhou Cang's first battalion of soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses under Zhou Cang's command are pure infantry.And it is a sword and shield soldier who has an advantage in close combat.

It's a pity that these sword and shield soldiers under Zhou Cang's command followed Liu Zheng to guard Funan when Liu Zheng conquered Funan a few years ago.

Haven't returned to Dahan for a long time.

So even if these tribes under Zhou Cang's command are strong, it won't help at this moment.

And the troops under Tai Shici's command in the fifth battalion.

Somewhat similar to Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses.

It's just that Tai Shici followed Xu Huang for a long time.

He borrowed many war horses from Xu Huang.

Cultivate soldiers and horses under your command, train shooting on the one hand, and horseback riding on the other.

The direction of focus is riding and shooting, which can be regarded as unique.

Dismounted can be used as infantry, archer can be used, mounted can be used as cavalry.

A unit that is relatively versatile and has no specialties at the same time.

It's a backup.

This is also why Tai Shici's men have always needed to go to the battlefield in the recent period.

Because once the main force is lacking on the front line, Tai Shici's troops will be needed to support them.

In addition to these five legions established before, Liu Zheng added three more legions a few years ago.

These three legions were built later.

Including Sun Jian's Seventh Army.

When Sun Jian took refuge in Liu Zheng, he had a part of his own remnants, and Sun Jian's power was already good, so the Seventh Army formed by Sun Jian was also very powerful.

And it succeeded Zhou Cang, a legion dominated by all infantry.

His role is to garrison Jingzhou.

Linkage with Gan Ning.

Zang Ba and Guan Hai of the Eighth Army were originally headed by Chen Deng, but Chen Deng was later transferred to the cabinet by Liu Zheng and became a member of the cabinet.

Therefore, Zang Ba took over as the commander of the Eighth Army, and Guan Hai assisted him at the same time.

Their purpose was originally to guard Qingzhou and Xuzhou, but later they gradually became mainly stationed in Qingzhou and linked with Xu Huang of Jizhou.

During the Northern Expedition, Guan Hai and Zang Ba's troops also suffered great losses. Fortunately, they recently recruited a lot of troops from counties and counties to supplement them.

Most of Guan Hai and Zang Ba's men were former Qingzhou soldiers. After Qingzhou's hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops were occupied by Liu Zheng, all of them belonged to Liu Zheng.

Although the Yellow Turban Army had been disarmed and returned to the fields, there were still many elite soldiers who became the second echelon soldiers in the counties.

Replenishment of troops is still very easy.

As for the men and horses under Sun Ce of the last Ninth Legion, there was no loss.

The 3000 men they brought with them increased after the surprise attack on Xianbei.

And those who belonged to Liu Zheng did not suffer much.

In the end, the battle was over, and among the entire Northern Expedition army, only Sun Ce's battalion suffered the smallest loss.

In this way, only Sun Ce's men can go to help Jingzhou's war.

In addition to the nine armies, Liu Zheng also had three battalions of sailors.

They are the water army led by Zu Lang, Zhou Tai and Cai Mao respectively.

Fortunately, Zu Lang has been stationed in the area of ​​the Yangtze River, and is also responsible for the defense of the river, while Zhou Tai was sent to Kyushu Island, and now he is serving as a border official in Kyushu Island.

Only Cai Mao, who controls the navy and is in charge of shipping, often transports by the sea, has not many people who can fight.

Last time, he was defeated by pirates on Kyushu Island.

In addition, there are Liu Chong, who is an additional establishment in Yuzhou, as well as the Jinyiwei, the trapped camp, and the women's battalion, which are not included in the army's strength.

Liu Zheng can mobilize more than 20 troops, but not more than 30.

Chapter 1000 Two hundred and thirty additional troops

These manpower cannot be completely mobilized by Liu Zheng.

After all, Liu Zheng is not only a small prince of Jiaozhou now.

The territory he occupies stretches from Xianbei Grassland in the north, Funan Prefecture in the south, Shangyong City in the west, and Kyushu Island in the east.

The territory that can be touched here is too vast, although many places have been ruled by him for many years, there is no threat at all.

But there are still many places that Liu Zhengcai has just occupied for a short time, and the ruling power in these places is not yet complete.

Uprisings and riots may break out at any time. If soldiers and horses are not sent to garrison these places, it is easy to lose control.

Therefore, Liu Zheng's more than 20 troops need to garrison various areas, and at the same time guard against the enemy's attack on the border.

There are at least three places to be stationed.

Youzhou and Xianbei Grassland in the north, this is the place Liu Zhengcai captured last year.

The foundation is not stable, and it has not been long since. The wealthy families here have not been fully incorporated, so they cannot withdraw their troops here.

Xu Huang has to sit in the town himself, and not only can't transfer the troops here, but he has to send more people here.

After all, Liu Zheng is also worried that once he launches a war in other places, Youzhou, which has just been occupied, and the Xianbei tribe will take advantage of this time to make a comeback.

At that time, Xu Huang will have only 2 troops, most of them will be recruits, and it will be difficult to hold back the scene.

Therefore, some people must be left to support Xu Huang and guard against all parts of the north.

According to Liu Zheng's temper, these people would have preferred Tai Shici from Xuzhou to go north to support Xu Huang, but he decided to let Tai Shici go to support Gan Ning.

Naturally, Tai Shici couldn't be allowed to go.

After thinking about it, Zang Ba and Guan Hai's troops stationed in Qingzhou could only be ready to support Xu Huang at any time.
