Seven days later.
The alliance between the countries of the Western Regions was formed.
With Wusun, Dawan, and Kangju as the leaders, they united with Shache, Shule, Great Xia, Pishan, and more than ten other small countries, totaling twenty countries.
The twenty countries had gathered a total of more than 100,000 troops. Among them, Wusun Country, Dayuan Country, and Kangju Country had gathered 80,000 troops. They had almost exhausted all their resources to send troops. He vowed to drive the Linfeng Army out of the Western Regions.
...
On the other side.
Lin Feng also received news that the various kingdoms of the Western Regions had joined forces.
After Lin Feng heard this news, he didn't panic at all. The corners of his mouth curled up as a happy expression appeared on his face.
When Liu Bowen saw this scene, he stood up and cupped his hands.
"My lord, the alliance of the kingdoms of the Western Regions gives us a chance to finish our work in one go. As long as we defeat the allied army of the Western Regions, we can take over the entire Western Regions without bloodshed.”
"That's right, that's exactly what I'm thinking. The Western Regions was vast and sparsely populated, and the countries were far apart. Just the journey alone would take a lot of time. If they could gather together and wipe out their effective strength in one fell swoop, the remaining small countries could be settled without fighting.”
Lin Feng replied.
Right now, Lin Feng's three armies had already been on the battlefield for more than half a month. In truth, they didn't spend much time on attacking cities and seizing territories. The main reason was that the journey was too long and they had wasted a large amount of time.
If this continued, Lin Feng would need at least a few months before he could unify the entire Western Regions.
This wasn't a joke. Even if Lin Feng's army was all cavalry, it would be easy for them to travel a hundred miles a day.
However, the entire Western Regions was simply too large.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Regions included the western border, part of the territory of the Furious Bear Country, and several countries in Central Asia.
From the eastern province of Suzhou to the Aral Sea in Central Asia in the west;
The Kunlun Mountains in the south and the Altaic Mountains in the north.
The territory covered an area of more than two million square kilometers!
In addition, some of the deserts and Gobi areas were impassable, causing the expeditionary army to have to take detours.
In this way, the journey required was even further.
Thus, even if Lin Feng had all his cavalry, it would still take several months to traverse the entire Western Regions.
In addition, every time they attacked a place, they had to put up a notice to pacify the people, kill corrupt officials, tyrants, and collect the hearts of the people.
This also caused the speed of their advance to be too slow.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng asked,"
"Where are the troops of the Western Regions stationed?”
"The alliance of the Western Regions will be held in Shu-lik. That will also be the location of our decisive battle with the enemy.”
Liu Bowen replied.
"Shu-lik."
When Lin Feng thought of this, he glanced at the map of the Western Regions on the chopping board and analyzed,
"Shu-lik borders the Dayuan Kingdom in the west, the Kangju Kingdom in the north, the Shache Kingdom in the south, and the Gumo Kingdom in the east. Not only was it located at the crossroads of the Western Regions, but it was also at the front line of the battlefield. It was indeed the best place for the alliance meeting.”
At this point, Lin Feng said to Liu Bowen,
"Inform Li Cunxiao to station troops in Gumo Kingdom for the time being. When all of our troops arrive, we will head to Shu-lik together.”
"Yes!"
Liu Bowen cupped his hands and went down to inform the others.
Upon seeing the upcoming battle, even though Lin Feng was extremely confident in his army, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
After all, this decisive battle would be a large-scale battle in which both sides had invested more than 100,000 soldiers. It would be a lie to say that they were not nervous.
As he thought of this, Lin Feng once again looked for his omnipotent golden finger-the system.
"System, what is the exchange method for the soldiers and horses in the population function?”
Replying to the host, the soldiers in the population function are exchanged with the host's money as a medium.
The soldiers in the system are divided into regular soldiers and elite soldiers
The classification of regular soldiers and elite soldiers was: Infantry, Archers, Cavalry
A regular infantryman needs one gold to exchange
A regular archer requires three gold coins to exchange
A regular cavalryman costs ten gold coins to exchange for
The price of elite soldiers is five times that of regular soldiers
Upon seeing this, Lin Feng glanced at the amount of money he had.
As he had recently destroyed eight kingdoms in succession, Lin Feng's inventory had increased by quite a bit. In addition to the money that he received from signing in, Lin Feng now had a total of 2,060,000 gold.
From this, Lin Feng could exchange for 2.06 million regular infantrymen, 680,000 regular archers, or 260,000 regular cavalry.
Of course, even though he said so, he definitely couldn't do so. Otherwise, just the amount of grain alone would be enough to cause the Linfeng Army to fall into a crisis of running out of food.
At that time, not to mention a million troops, even ten million troops would all die.
As he thought of this, Lin Feng asked the system,"
"System, what is the general combat strength of regular soldiers? Compared to the military forces of the various feudal lords at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who was stronger and who was weaker?”
[Host, can you please not ask such humiliating questions?]
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the so-called soldiers and horses of the various feudal lords were nothing more than a group of farmers who held wooden sticks, pointed weapons, and some iron weapons. They did not even have leather armor on their bodies. How many of them had truly undergone systematic training? Can those be called soldiers? At most, he could only match the militia level in the system.
"Haha!"
Lin Feng didn't know how to reply. After all, the system was right. The majority of the soldiers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were just like what the system said. They were just a group of farmers who put down their hoes and picked up sticks. There were very few who had truly undergone systematic training.
Otherwise, in the original history, Yuan Shao occupied the entire Jizhou and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but he could not even do anything to a Black Mountain Thief.
If it were hundreds of thousands of regular soldiers who had been trained systematically, how could they not even deal with a group of Yellow Turban bandits made up of farmers?
