"Innocent!"
Lin Yi's assessment of this behavior consisted of only two words.
This plan seems feasible, as it leverages the advantage of the Zhennan Dynasty's local operations to continuously send troops and civilians to provide support.
With this shift in power, victory will inevitably belong to Zhennan.
But the problem lies in this ebb and flow, whether it will actually "disappear" or not. Obviously, Nan Ke doesn't understand this deeply enough, which is why he has such unrealistic expectations.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right!"
Upon hearing his emperor's words, Jiang Wei couldn't help but laugh and said disdainfully, "If it were an ordinary army, they might be overwhelmed by sheer numbers, but the army of Great Liang has always been known for its combat prowess. This is just providing more targets."
In theory, as long as Great Liang has enough follow-up weapons and equipment, even if the enemy sends ten million, it will only be a few more casualties. Zhennan ultimately made a bad move!
The so-called gourd is utterly powerless in the face of cannons and explosives.
Nan Ke's choice was somewhat out of his mind. If you want to overwhelm the million-strong army of Great Liang, you should at least consider whether you can even withstand that million-strong army.
The things you're doing now are only making your death happen faster; they serve no other purpose.
"Wow, the Zhennan Nation is quite clever, actually coming up with such a plan. But here's the problem: can he stop Lü Bu, Zhang Liao, Sima Yi, or Guan Yu, and also Qi Jiguang who has mastered new weapons?"
Zhang Juzheng, unable to bear it any longer, couldn't help but ask with a puzzled expression.
Looking at the generals who participated in this battle against the Great Liang, what gave Zhennan the courage to trap these people?
Although he hadn't been with the Great Liang for long, he was aware of the Great Liang army's top combat strength. Several of these men were among the Great Liang's most elite generals. This king was really acting irrationally.
"Haha, all I can say is that you have commendable courage!"
The group was looking at the sand table when they heard Zhang Juzheng's words and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Zhennan was indeed overthinking things, because Great Liang's lineup this time was too luxurious, a lineup that made people feel completely at ease.
Among them, Zhang Liao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the ace unit, need no introduction. They were already All Under Heaven throughout the north, and their combat power was simply off the charts.
Then there's Guan Yu, who swept through the southeastern region. This guy was supposedly a secret agent planted by the emperor in the southeast, but his martial prowess was also extremely ferocious. He fought his way from the sea to Jiangling Commandery, and was practically invincible.
Not to mention Lü Bu, the number one warrior even the emperor himself commented on, known as the Red Hare among men, who was said to be incredibly ruthless, killing people as easily as slicing melons and chopping vegetables.
This also includes the newly emerged ruthless Qi Jiguang, as well as the two strategists Sima Yi and Li Ru, who can be said to have maxed out both offensive power and battlefield wisdom.
This is Zhennan, what the hell are we going to do?
"Your Majesty, some of the Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors gone. Why don't I go and check on Zhennan as well?" Qu Yi's eyes lit up as he looked at the gourd; he loved hard-fought battles.
With the enemy so well-prepared, boasting a million-strong army to block their path, this is an opportunity for the Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors.
Cough cough!
Gongsun Zan also stepped forward, saying awkwardly, "Your Majesty, my White Horse Volunteers can also be of service. Any Gourd Mouth is nothing but dust before my White Horse Volunteers; we'll outmaneuver them until they're exhausted!"
"Look at what you're saying. My White Feather Army isn't to be trifled with either. Mountain warfare is our specialty, and I'm confident I can handle this battle." Chen Dao rarely stepped forward, taking the initiative to escalate the conflict.
Forehead!
Lin Yi was speechless. Zhennan was just a place whose weapons were Great Liang. If it required a million troops and reinforcements, that would be a joke.
He shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Leave the matter of Zhennan to Li Ru and Zhang Liao; they are more than capable of taking down a small place like Zhennan. Adding you would be a complete waste of resources."
"As for you, don't worry. Great Liang will have no shortage of wars in the future. You just need to get your troops and new weapons working together."
Although the combat strength of the major legions is currently very strong, with the continuous development and strengthening of the Heavenly Craft Workshop, the weapons and armor of the Great Liang are also constantly being improved, which all require time to refine.
Once the transformation is complete, the major legions will undoubtedly see a significant increase in strength, making their future western expeditions even more powerful.
Everyone's eyes lit up; they were wide awake at the mention of this.
"Your Majesty, it is said that there are powerful countries in the Land of the Far West, even comparable to the Great Liang. Is this true?" Chen Dao forward, unable to contain his curiosity.
Although he claimed to be indifferent to worldly affairs, his brothers were all making meritorious contributions, and even the Wudang Flying Army, which joined later, participated in the battle to conquer Zhennan, while he remained a spectator on the sidelines. In the end, he could no longer sit still.
In short, I want to fight!
"Good!"
Seeing his eager expression, Lin Yi sighed, realizing that he had ultimately taken advantage of the honest man, leaving this veteran who had followed him idle for so long.
He nodded slightly, glanced at Chen Dao and Zhao Yun beside him, and decided to give them a choice.
He said in a deep voice, "In the future Great Liang will not lack enemies. Not only will the Great West Empire and the Frostwest Empire block your way, but there will also be the mysterious country in the Land of the Far West and the chaotic land in the northwest. This is all your stage!"
I am not the kind of person who would discard a good bow after the birds are all gone, so you all have the opportunity to fight.
When the time comes, Shuzhi and Zilong can go and make their mark. I've wronged you a bit before; in the future, you will leave your mark on this land!
To be honest, it's a bit of a pity about Chen Dao and Zhao Yun.
Both men possessed exceptional battlefield talent, especially Chen Dao, who was a commander-level talent. It was somewhat unfair that he was placed within the territory to guard a region.
There's also Zhao Yun's Hundred Riders.
Unlike Liu Bei, who was wary of Zhao Yun, Lin Yi had him form Hundred Riders because he didn't want to mistreat Zhao Yun.
The reason for this is that the Great Liang no longer lacked traditionally organized cavalry.
With the existence of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the White Horse Volunteers, and even the cavalry of Northern Liang, there were already four super cavalry legions, which basically met the needs of cavalry.
As the war situation changed, the battlefield gradually shifted to the west, and opportunities for long-distance raids became less frequent. The west had cities and fortifications, so single cavalry units were destined to be replaced and needed to be further strengthened.
In that time, cavalry warfare will need to Yuanhua, no longer just about charging and breaking through enemy lines; it will also need to involve sieges.
For this reason, the Great Liang did not form a new cavalry corps, and the placement of Zhao Yun became a problem. After all, he had made great contributions and could not be disposed of casually.
With Gongsun Zan and Yan Gang, the creators of the White Horse Volunteers, still alive, it was naturally not Zhao Yun Yun's turn. So, he was asked to start his own Hundred Riders unit, which was a sign of their reliance on him.
However, it would be a bit of a waste to put such a capable soldier in a security position; it would be better to let him go out and have some fun.
