Notes on Generals: Leader of the Xiliang Army in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, father of the Five Tiger Generals Ma Chao (monarch-level generals)
Sitting in the marching carriage, Chen Ze looked at the general he had just purchased and fell into deep thought.
After successfully convincing the two city lords, Xiyun Biping's united army finally set off.
Because it had to deal with the problem of the Poison Mist Forest and wait for Yang Siming to lead the Biping Army to come for reinforcements, it had already been delayed for some time. Therefore, the army did not advance in large units, but first divided up the troop allocation in the barracks.
, and then rush to their respective predetermined supply lines in small units on a rapid march.
In addition to the necessary defenders, the combined army has a total strength of 110,000, with Yang Siming and Zheng Yuanlong each leading 20,000 troops, and the two captains Biping leading 25,000 troops each. Finally, Chen Ze was also assigned 20,000 troops.
In this way, the 110,000 troops were divided into five waves, and all rushed from Xiyun City to the predetermined location.
Chen Ze's share of troops was equivalent to that of the two city lords, and less than that of a lieutenant-level general. This does not mean that his status in the minds of everyone has caught up with a governor-level general.
On the contrary, because Yang Siming still had some scruples about him, Chen Ze was assigned the innermost supply line in the battle line allocation.
From the analysis of the map, if there is an enemy infiltrating, it must enter from the east of Bo'an. If you want to cut off all the supply lines, you have to build a connection from east to west. In contrast, the one assigned by Chen Ze
The supply line in the far west is the safest and least vulnerable to attack.
As long as the supply line in front was defended and the enemy army could not advance, Chen Ze didn't even need to take action and safely won the battle.
As for their subsequent departure, I’m not too worried.
The Forest of Poison Mist launched an attack on Xiyun City five days ago. Regarding this time, Chen Ze also discussed this time with the two city lords Yang and Zheng, including Mr. Jing, who was later summoned to the city lord's mansion by Zheng Yuanlong.
Choosing to take action five days ago was not a random decision, but a deliberate decision.
The first step is for Zhu Yan's army to approach Bo'an City. If Bo'an City is under tight military strength, it will inevitably send a signal to surrounding cities for help.
Bo'an is the gateway to Anluo. If Bo'an is lost, Anluo will surely fall. Such a heart-breaking situation has no reason for the surrounding city lords not to be nervous, so it is inevitable to send reinforcements.
Taking into account the distance of the messenger asking for help and the time for each city to dispatch troops, it was just right to stay at this point five days ago. After all, at that time, even Xiyun City, which was at the edge of Anluo Province, had already sent reinforcements on the road.
, it is the time when the military strength of each city is the most empty.
So the Poisonous Mist Forest in the west is like this, but what about the east?
Of course the same is true!
Although the east side is vast and sparsely populated, the only two cities are stuck in the throat. If these two cities are full of troops, it is impossible for the Zhu Yan Empire's raiding force to pass through them.
Therefore, it is most likely that both the east and west sides will attack at the same agreed time. In the end, there will be a two-phase attack. The west side troops will mainly focus on destroying the city, and the east side troops will mainly focus on cutting off the supply lines. This is the most reasonable.
The attack of the poisonous fog army gave such a signal, so even though five days had passed, judging by the distance, excluding the abandoned supply line, there was still enough time.
As for Chen Ze, although he received the safest line, for the sake of safety, Chen Ze decided to add another level of strength to himself.
After all, guarding the supply lines is of great importance. Even if you are only guarding one of them, the combat merit mission assigned by the Military Aircraft Department has reached 100,000 points!
The General Star System naturally follows closely behind, and also gives Chen Ze the task of defending the supply line. The reward for combat merit is also 100,000 points, and it also comes with 20 universal fragments. The reward is quite generous!
In order to securely win this generous reward, the general star Ma Teng was created.
After experiencing the last non-chief incident, Chen Ze was cautious about extracting general stars, and finally chose to directly purchase the fragments to synthesize an epic general star.
Although all the generals he saw on the fragment page were question marks, Chen Ze could use his knowledge of the Three Kingdoms to try his best to select suitable generals.
For example, the supply line he was defending had a mostly plain geographical environment, and there were three points on this line that were easily attacked, which required his troops to be highly mobile.
It is precisely for this reason that the troops assigned to Chen Ze are mostly cavalry.
Then he needs a general with the command type of cavalry.
The leadership types of Wu Anguo and Bai Rao are not in this category, and their grades are also lower. Last time, Meng Yang possessed Wu Anguo and fought against Zhu Yan. If Cheng Yu hadn't secretly helped, I'm afraid he would have to do it again.
It's impossible to kill until the sky is dark and the earth is dark.
He does have Cheng Yu, an epic general, but unfortunately he is a civil servant and is not suitable for charging into battle.
Based on these three considerations, what Chen Ze needs at this time is a high-level general with a command type of cavalry.
Although most of the generals of the Three Kingdoms fight on horseback, when it comes to horse warfare, they are very likely to command cavalry. The Xiliang Horse Family is a relatively safe choice.
Of course, he couldn't afford Ma Chao, who was a legendary general, so Chen Ze could only rummage through the epic ranks.
Then Ma Teng came into his sight.
What aroused Chen Ze's interest was the character "jun" following Ma Teng's fragment, and the price of the fragment, which was 100 points more than the other fragments.
A king is a monarch, and Ma Teng's commentary on general stars confirms this.
Chen Ze also went to look through the fragments of Liu Bei, Cao Cao and other generals, and sure enough he also saw the character "jun".
As the leader of the Xiliang Army, Ma Teng once divided Liangzhou and became the king, and he deserves to be called a monarch.
This was the first time that he discovered that there was a monarch-level term among the generals. It just so happened that since he was the leader of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the possibility that Ma Teng's command type was a cavalry was naturally very high.
Partly out of curiosity, partly out of real need, although Ma Teng's fragments are 100 points more expensive than those of other epic generals, and buying them in total will cost you 10,000 points more, Chen Ze currently has nearly 80,000 points in combat merit.
Totally affordable.
Of course, if you want to buy it, you have to buy it well. It must be expensive for a reason. Otherwise, how can the legendary general be sold for 250,000 battle credits?
Looking at Ma Teng's specific numerical values and comparing them with those of Cheng Yu, who was also at the epic level, Chen Ze knew what made him valuable.
It is in terms of overall attributes.
Cheng Yu's generals can become epic generals if only one of them has an intelligence of 80 or more points, but Ma Teng's has two attributes of 80 or more points!
Chapter completed!
