Twenty-one year of Jian'an.

spring.

With Liu Ba, Wu Tu Gu, and 1,500 "Tiangang Axe Guards", Xing Daorong returned to Changsha.

As for Pang Tong, of course he couldn't leave. If he wanted to monitor Lu Xun's army, Xing Daorong would be worried without Pang Tong.

"I will pay homage to the lord!"

As soon as he saw Xing Daorong, a burly figure and wearing a strange vine armor, he immediately stepped forward to visit him.

"Don't need to be too polite!"

Xing Daorong said with a smile:

"Let's go and take someone to see your vine armored soldier!"

After saying that, he didn't go back to the city, and followed Wu Tuifeng to inspect the military camp outside the city.

The Changsha defenders had already received the order from Xing Daorong, so when Wu Tuijin came with 30,000 vine armored soldiers, they were soon placed in the military camp.

...

"good!"

Accompanied by Wu Zhiming, Xing Daorong led Liu Ba to patrol the military camp. After half an hour, he looked at the entire military camp.

The vine armored soldiers are very different from many military groups in the Central Plains, and the details are not explained. Xing Daorong’s most concerned about the issue of the soldiers’ ranks was finally confirmed during this inspection.

There are more than 10,000 people with 30,000 vine armored soldiers, and the rest are top "warriors" with force 19.

As for the "elite" with 30 force, that is, the "warriors" who can fight against one hundred, there are only one hundred people.

Although Wu Tuefeng has the training technique of "elite" level vine armored soldiers, he obviously doesn't know how to use it.

First, the military discipline is slack and the array is not intact. Second, the soldiers of the three levels of "warriors", "reeks" and "warriors" are all mixed together, causing some of the combat power to be seriously reduced.

Despite this, it is also a powerful force.

Especially the vine armor on these soldiers, Xing Daorong specially tested it. After wearing it, it can really float without sinking and carry people across the river. It can be called the advanced lifebuoy of this era!

After inspecting the military camp, Xing Daorong pondered for a while.

Wu Tui Fen is very good at training vine armored soldiers, but when leading troops to fight, the military formation and array are in a mess. He can only be a powerful general who rushes to the formation and is unable to assume the responsibilities of the chief general of the army.

So he took action to rectify the army.

First, soldiers of the three levels of "warriors", "sharkers", and "warriors" were respectively formed into an army, and were named "primary vine armored soldiers", "medium vine armored soldiers" and "higher vine armored soldiers".

One hundred "elite"-level vine armored soldiers, Xing Daorong was woven into evil guards, and named them "Vine armored iron guards"!

Later, when Wu Tui Fung charges in the battle, the "Vine Armor Iron Guard" is his best helper, Yuan Sheng brings tens of thousands of mixed Vine Armor soldiers to fight.

Then, it was time to divide the 30,000 vine armored soldiers out.

Wu Tuefeng, who has a loyalty of 100% to Xing Daorong, has no objection to this.

Xing Daorong thought for a long time and recalled Chen Ying from Huang Zhong's army and handed over the 10,000 high-level vine armored soldiers of the "Raic" level to him.

Since Chen Ying surrendered to Xing Daorong, he has always fought bravely and must be the first to fight every time. He is qualified to lead a powerful army of "Rui Shi".

As for Liu Pan, he is currently the commander of three thousand cavalry, and there will be more additional subsequently, so there is no need to bring these vine armored soldiers anymore.

The remaining 20,000 "Warrior"-level vine armored soldiers are ordinary elite soldiers, and they are trained by Wu Tui Fen in normal times and are distributed according to the situation in wartime.

It took five days to complete the sorting of the rattan armored soldiers.

Afterwards, Xing Daorong stayed Liu Ba in Changsha City, took Shamoke and his ten thousand barbarian soldiers, plus 30,000 vine armored soldiers, and drove towards Jiangling, Nanjun in a mighty manner.

The ten thousand barbarian soldiers of Shamoko were also quite elite, with 3,000 "Richs" and the rest were all "warriors".

In this way, after Xing Daorong led an army of 40,000 to the outside of Jiangling City and joined Huang Zhong's army, he had a strong army of more than 80,000.

After more than a month of fierce battle, Huang Zhong originally had 50,000 troops, but only 42,000 left.

Among them, the original three thousand "Ruiz" suffered little loss, and were all adapted into three thousand cavalry with force of more than 30.

The "Warriors" lost 3,000, and there were 12,000 people in the battle, and the remaining 30,000 were elite soldiers of the 9th Martial Power.

Including the cavalry, although Huang Zhong's troops suffered about 8,000 losses in battle, their combat power increased instead of decreasing.

When Xing Daorong came to the site of Huang Zhong's army outside Jiangling City, Huang Zhong, Jiang Wan, Liu Pan and others had already come out to greet him from afar.

"Han Sheng fought well in this battle, destroying Guan Yu's majesty, haha!"

As soon as he saw Huang Zhong, Xing Daorong laughed and praised.

After hearing Xing Daorong's praise, Old Huang Zhong was full of joy.

"Just Guan Yu, nothing!"

Huang Zhong bowed and smiled:

"The lord defeated Jiangdong in Fuhe, killed 50,000 enemy troops, and forced Lu Xun's son into Poyang Lake to hide. That is the most martial arts!"

"hehe!"

Jiang Wan smiled and said:

"The lord is invincible, and the old general Huang is not old, so you don't have to be modest!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone laughed at the same time.

Immediately, they entered the tent of the commander, gathered Jiang Wan, Liu Pan, Chen Ying, Wu Tujie and others to discuss military information together.

After discussing for a long time, they went down to rest in peace and did not mention it.

the next day.

Xing Daorong inspected the newly established first cavalry in Jingnan.

"good!"

In front of the three thousand solemn cavalry, Xing Daorong nodded to express his satisfaction.

These cavalry were originally "sharp soldiers" in the army. Although they were just the first to be converted into cavalry, their combat power was no longer simple.

The cavalry is also divided into three levels: first, middle and high. These three thousand cavalrymen are intermediate and advanced cavalry!

Name: So painful

Occupation: Cavalry

Level: Intermediate Cavalry

Force: 34

Physical strength: 34

Evaluation: Very good riding skills, professional cavalry.

Most of them are intermediate cavalry, and a few are high-level cavalry with force of 35.

The force of cavalry is between 25-29 at the primary level, the intermediate level is 30-34 at the intermediate level, and the advanced level is 35-39.

This refers to ordinary cavalry, because these cavalry are adapted from the "reeks" in the army, and the strong foundation is there, so once the cavalry is transferred, they will immediately become intermediate or even advanced.

But even cavalry that is one level higher than infantry is limited to less than 40. If you want to break through this number, you can only be promoted to the "elite"!

No matter what, the combat power of these three thousand cavalry in the Jingnan army is considered the strongest army except the "Tiangang Axe Guard"!

In addition, in terms of Huang Zhong and Liu Pan's "good at the army", there are also additional "cavalry" troops.

It seems that the behavior of training cavalry in the past two months has allowed Huang Zhong and Liu Pan to master the cavalry's training techniques.

This is normal. Whether it is Huang Zhong or Liu Pan, they are all generals who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years and are not unfamiliar with cavalry.

In the past, there was no horse, but now there is no shortage of war horses. With their experience in fighting, it is not surprising that they have mastered the cavalry training techniques.

Of course, it is unlikely to go further to elite cavalry, at least not now.

"Lord, the last general has recovered most of his skills. You can use the general's skills once. It's better to attack Jiangling City tomorrow. This time I will definitely capture Guan Yu alive and offer it to the lord's account!"

After inspecting the army and returning to the commander's tent, Huang Zhong said impatiently.

Xing Daorong was inspecting his army, so why didn't he observe the 30,000 vine armored soldiers brought by Wu Tuifeng?

The elite level of the vine armored soldiers surprised Huang Zhong, and he was overjoyed. In addition, he learned that he could float and not sink, and his characteristics of crossing people across the river were full of confidence in capturing Jiangling City.

Jiangling City is not only tall, but also has a moat outside the city with a wide range of meter outside, which is difficult to attack.

Therefore, although Huang Zhong led his troops to confront Guan Yu at the city these days, he had never attacked him once.

Now that he has received more than 40,000 new forces brought by Xing Daorong, Huang Zhong immediately began to get ready to fight.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Xing Daorong laughed to the sky and said:

"I came here this time to break Jiangling and capture Guan Yu in one fell swoop, ask him about his responsibility for invading our borders for no reason. I will go to meet Guan Yu with Han Sheng early tomorrow morning!"
