Cao Pi sent out a 200,000 army and had to join the 50,000 naval forces from the Huaihe River generation to supply millions of civilians along the way. The scale of the war was extremely magnificent. Although he set out in May, it was actually fast that he could reach the Ruxukou battlefield in August!

Compared with him, Zhuge Liang's advancement speed was much faster. In June, the news was heard that in July, the 120,000 army had already reached the gate of Tianshui County, outside the Chencang Road, and the Qinling Mountains were gap!

After all, while doing business, Zhuge Liang was also particularly guarding against Wang Hou. After Liu Bei died in Jingzhou, Shu Han deployed 10,000 troops in Wuling to defend against Eastern Wu, but there were as many as 40,000 troops stationed in Hanzhong. Later, after the attack on Nanzhong, the war was in a rush, and he was transferred back to the battlefield on the southern front. However, the war rarely improved. He mobilized 20,000 Hanzhong troops in the northern border, and then recruited a large number of troops in Nanzhong, and continuously recruited barbarians from Nanzhong to Hanzhong, increasing the Hanzhong troops to 60,000.

Moreover, the trading station is located in Hanzhong, with a large amount of grain storage and no need to carry any supplies and equipment. Zhuge Liang directly led the main light troops to set off from Chengdu, and joined forces with the Hanzhong garrison to form an army and launch an attack.

The Wei army in Guanzhong has not increased much in many years. It was the two major corps built by Wang Hou to control the two states when he entered Guanzhong. In addition, the Third Mixed Brigade and Cavalry Regiment stationed here in Liaodong for a long time, a total of 30,000 troops, but in three years, the local troops have increased by more than twice!

It has become an industry, and the Guanxi cavalry that has served Cao Pi for a long time is 8,000 to 12,000, but Wang Hou can still mobilize more than 20,000 elite soldiers of landlord knights and knight entourages.

The gap in force is close to 2.5.

But there were only more than 23,000 people stationed at the Chencang Roadkou, Liangzhou Corps, more than 10,000 landlord cavalry, even the Mixed Brigade and the Knights, but no one thought that Zhuge Liang's twelve armies were superior, and the morale of the entire army was particularly high.

During this campaign against Nanzhong, Zhuge Liang also added many special troops to his army, including Southern barbarian infantry wearing leather armor and exposed their chest muscles. They also had tall and majestic battle elephants wearing leather armor and daggers on their teeth.

In the narrow valley of Chencang Road, the 50,000 troops as the vanguard were arranged in a slender and thick olive shape. In front of the battle formation, twenty-six armored war elephants lined up in the front like beasts, carrying narrow leather chest protection on it, large pieces of beautifying skin were exposed, with ochre red marks on it, and colorful elephant taming witches were touched on their faces. They were like the soldiers in the game were actually slapped. While they were still beating the snare drum at hand, they were grinning and roaring in front of them.

The Southern Barbarians were still at the cannon fodder level. Behind the battle elephant, the Southern Barbarian infantry standing in a scattered group were carrying axes and wearing leather armor that was so thin that they could only protect their chests and key parts between their thighs. They also exposed the mountain forest to survive and trained their strong and strong muscles, and moved forward slowly with arrogance.

There were five or six hundred people in a regiment, a total of more than a dozen. Behind these scattered infantry were the Shu army infantry wearing iron-clad yellow leather armor, helmets, and guns and swords. They were neatly arranged in five rows, which seemed to be under the formation, and the meaning of supervising the army was probably stronger.

The front row is the cannon fodder, probably the barbarian soldiers who are not trusted, and there are also trusted later. After the Shu army, the Wudang Flying Army of the South Central, which was reorganized by the Shu army, these people were wearing iron armor and iron helmets. However, they were not wearing anything under the armor, and their arms and thighs were also unarmed, so they were exposed directly. On the one hand, in order to reduce weight, on the other hand, the people of the South Central Central are not resistant to heat, which is conducive to cooling.

He also held a Zhuge crossbow in his hand and an axe on his waist. He had a very strange style, like a steel axe that was turned upwards with an octopus legs, and a machete with extraordinarily wide and extraordinarily alien characteristics. He was arranged in two large horizontal guards in the middle of the central army. He was probably responsible for the assault mission of the two wings after the war.

The central army was the elite Shu army trained by Zhuge Liang himself. It is estimated that the Tiger Infantry Army is talking about them, similar to Wang Hou's Wei army. Everyone was wearing heavy armor, holding guns in their left hand and shield in their right hand. The lineup was extremely neat, lined up in a row of hundreds of people, totaling four rows, and a square array like iron blocks. With their pace, the earth kept making dull sounds.

However, Zhuge Liang did not have Wang Hou's financial resources. The number of such carefully trained elite infantry was only about 3,600 in nine square formations.

Finally, it was the fat and bloated rear army. Zhuge was particularly rigorous in command of the army. There were some characteristics here. In addition to the wooden ox, flowing horse, and heavy Zhuge crossbow chariot I saw last time, there were fifty Wang Housings behind him. Shu Han didn't know where to get the structure. The medium-sized Hui Cannons imitated were like giants' arms, swaying with a sequential murderous intent.

In this medieval era, the Shu army was well-equipped and well-trained. Unfortunately, they were fighting against Wang Hou, a cheater. At the end of the canyon, a dark Wei-like flag floated proudly. The front of the military formation was squatting on the ground, with more than two thousand small tiger squatting cannons, and behind them were two Wang's crossbows.

Wang Hou's heavy infantry formation has been seen many times, and there is no need to repeat it. This time, the Wei army barrier turrets fixed on Taibai Mountain and facing Chen Cang's old road are also newly appeared on the battlefield.

A towering fortress was built on the steep mountain with steel bars mixed with cement, which looked like a Western medieval castle. A towering garrison building was built against the mountain. On three equally towering walls, two hundred garrison guns were placed, and dense muzzles were aimed at every corner of the narrow mountain road.

Zhuge Liang's army was equivalent to the equipment level in the early Crusade era, while Wang Hou's army was equivalent to the equipment level in the late Middle Ages and late Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Zhuge Liang also wanted to imitate artillery, but Wang Hou established this Eternal Fire Taoist Group to reveal the power of most alchemists and charlatans in the country under his hands. Without these old Taoists, Zhuge Liang was really a clever woman who could not cook without rice. He had not penetrated a single gunpowder in three years.

Seeing Prime Minister Zhuge who was pushed into a small wheelchair, shaking his feather fan with a particularly pretentious look, but frowned, and was worried that he was as worried as a bad artist who was banned in later generations, Wang Hou once again sat in the eight-person shoulder chariot with the style of a governor of the East Factory, and arrogantly greeted him.

"I haven't seen you for three years, Prime Minister Zhuge's style remains the same! But the Prime Minister's stubbornness is still the same! The Prime Minister is not in Chengdu to enjoy the leisurely mountains and rivers, and he has to come to me, the poor mountains and rivers, and fight with this iron knot. Why bother? "

Sitting on the tall chair of the same style as Eunuch Cao in the Dongchang, looking down at Zhuge Liang who was sitting in the wooden car. Wang Hou deliberately tried to shake his big head with a bitter face, but the scent of teasing was full of words. Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and it was right to shake the goose feather fan.

"A few days ago, the Daxingtai encouraged a group of scholars to travel west. On the platform of Didao Station, one sentence made Zhuge remember it deeply!"

He also stood up, his eyes met Wang Hou and the iron forest behind him, and floated straight to Qinchuan for 800 miles. Zhuge Liang's originally handsome and charming eyes gradually narrowed, becoming particularly sharp and greedy.

"As human beings, you have to have dreams, don't you?"
