Summoning Fierce Generals: I Want to Be Emperor

In the summer of the 387th year of the Great Liang calendar, several northwestern prefectures of Liang suffered a century-long drought. Due to the government's ineffective disaster relief, wide...

Chapter 67: The First-line Soldiers and the White Horse Volunteers

Before Sun Hao led his troops to fight the second coalition force, he had already used up all the extra sign-in opportunities he had obtained from the thirty-five new concubines.

With thirty-five sign-in opportunities, Sun Hao signed out more than 2,800 cavalrymen, including two new types of soldiers: the Hundred-Man Vanguard Death Soldier General (Three Kingdoms) and the Hundred-Man White Horse Volunteer General (Three Kingdoms).

The first batch of death squads will be dressed in black heavy infantry armor. Each of the hundred men will be equipped with a three-meter-long spear, a horizontal sword, a dagger, a powerful crossbow that can shoot three arrows at the same time, and three pots of crossbow arrows. There will be light yellow tassels on their helmets, and their combat power values are all 80 points.

The Baima Yicong are light cavalrymen wearing white armor and riding white horses. Each of the hundred men is equipped with two broadswords, a dagger, a longbow and five quivers. There are light blue tassels on their helmets, and their combat power values are all 80 points.

It will take 300 points of conversion value to redeem 100 vanguard warriors from the "Hero Converter", and 400 points of conversion value to redeem 100 White Horse Volunteers.

In addition, Sun Hao also signed out twelve powerful generals: Di Qing (Song Dynasty), Yang Zaixing (Song Dynasty), Lu Bu (Three Kingdoms), and Pan Feng (Three Kingdoms).

Zhao Yun (Three Kingdoms), Ma Chao (Three Kingdoms), Guan Yu (Three Kingdoms), Zhang Fei (Three Kingdoms).

Hua Rong (Water Margin), Xu Ning (Water Margin), Yang Zhi (Water Margin), Suo Chao (Water Margin).

Among them, the combat power values of Di Qing, Yang Zaixing, Lu Bu, and Pan Feng are all 100 points, the combat power values of Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are all 99 points, and the combat power values of the remaining four are all 92 points.

The intelligence values of the twelve generals, except Di Qing, are all between 80 and 89 points. Di Qing's intelligence value reaches 90, making him the third general under Sun Hao with an intelligence value of 90 points.

When Sun Hao learned that the second coalition army had gathered 700,000 troops, he absorbed some of the gold and silver in the Iron Lion City Palace into the "General Converter" and exchanged them for a group of 100-man generals.

At this time, among the troops gathered by Sun Hao outside Lishui City, there were Xuanjia Cavalry, Beiwei Cavalry, Hubao Cavalry, Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Baima Yicong, each of which had 10,000 cavalrymen.

There were also 20,000 Wei Wu soldiers, 20,000 Qin Ruishi, 10,000 vanguard death soldiers and 10,000 Modao soldiers.

As well as the four cavalrymen of wind, rain, thunder and lightning expanded to two thousand people, the Blue Wolf Cavalry expanded to four thousand people, and the four thousand tiger soldiers expanded from the red tiger soldiers and white tiger soldiers.

In addition, more than 20,000 people from the Western Region Army's Left Guard also arrived outside Lishui City.

The Western Regions Army, now under the jurisdiction of the Daliang Western Regions Protectorate, still has only two guards, the left and right, and Geng Jing is still the commander-in-chief of the left guard.

The four Lang Jiangs, four deputy Lang Jiangs, sixteen Xiaoweis and sixteen deputy Xiaoweis of the Left Guard were still officers originally transferred from the three towns of the imperial guards.

However, since many officers from the Imperial Guard had died in battle, most of the eighty captains and eighty deputy captains of the Left Guard were centurions from the "annual contract system".

In order to effectively control the Left Guard, Sun Hao filled the Left Guard's organization with 4,800 centurions from the "annual contract system", occupying all the positions of 400 team leaders, 400 deputy team leaders, 2,000 squad leaders and 2,000 deputy squad leaders.

As for the soldiers of the Left Guard, and even the soldiers of the Right Guard of the Western Region Army, they were all newly recruited locals. The surviving soldiers of the Left and Right Guards were all transferred by Sun Hao to the wing military camps in various cities to serve as low-level officers.

The difference between the Right Guard and the Left Guard of the Western Region Army is that all of its officers come from the "annual contract system". Currently, the commander-in-chief of the Right Guard is Xue Rengui, the deputy commander-in-chief is Yuwen Chengdu, and the four generals are Shi Wengong, Luan Tingyu, Bian Xiang, and Du Fu respectively.

Currently, the main force of the Right Guard is stationed in Iron Lion City and did not follow Sun Hao to fight against the coalition forces.

This time, Sun Hao also dispatched a total of eighty-five military camps affiliated with the Western Regions Protectorate from various cities to help transport food and serve as reserve troops.

Each wing army camp had more than a thousand people and as few as five or six hundred people. Its captains, deputy captains, team leaders and deputy team leaders were all centurions from the "annual contract system". The eighty-five wing army camps had a total of about sixty thousand people.

In other words, Sun Hao assembled a total of 200,000 troops to fight against the 700,000-strong coalition force.

In addition, within the city of Lishui, there were two thousand Wei Wuzu led by Di Qing, two thousand Qin Ruishi and six wing army camps with more than a thousand people, who could leave the city to participate in the battle at any time.

Sun Hao saw that the coalition forces suddenly sent 20,000 to 30,000 cavalrymen to rush over while the Western Region Army was building a camp, and immediately ordered Hulugu and Gao Aocao to lead 10,000 black-armored cavalrymen to fight.

The 20,000 heavy cavalry of Puwan State are indeed quite powerful, but who can they compare their scores with?

Faced with 10,000 black-armored cavalrymen with a combat power of 80 points each, and led by two "level 100" generals, the 20,000 heavy cavalrymen of Puwan Kingdom were quickly defeated in a head-on confrontation.

Fortunately, Hulugu and Gao Aocao only led their troops to attack for a while and then retreated, allowing most of the Puwan heavy cavalry to escape back to the coalition camp.

When Puwan's general Dagati gathered the defeated soldiers who had retreated to the coalition camp, he found that just a tentative attack had resulted in the loss of more than 5,000 of the 20,000 heavy cavalry.

What made Dagati even more uncomfortable was that he was watching the battle from behind and saw with his own eyes that the Liang army's cavalry losses were not many, probably less than 500 cavalry.

In fact, Dagati still overestimated himself. Of the 10,000 black-armored cavalry led by Hulugu and Gao Aocao, less than 200 people were killed in the end.

In a high-speed cavalry confrontation, once the cavalry of both sides collide with each other, it is basically difficult to survive. Even the black armor cavalry wearing sturdy armor cannot avoid such casualties.
