King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 968 The Last Battle (1)

tough!This is the evaluation of Li Lin's men and horses by the various princes who are against Li Linduo. Although Li Lin is very dissatisfied, it reflects the strength of the Liao army!The strength of the Liao army is reflected in the quality of soldiers, and it is even more reflected in individual combat. Looking at the world, except for some special troops such as tiger and leopard cavalry, euphorbia soldiers, and white eucalyptus soldiers.Is there any army that dares to claim that its strength is superior to that of the Liao army?
The Liao army, especially the veterans of the Liao army, such as the chief and the chief, are the real elites!Although they are only chiefs and chiefs, the battles they have experienced are enough to make them proud!Li Lin treats soldiers very harshly, but he also loves them very much. Just like his brothers, under strict discipline and generous treatment, he also forged a strong Liao army, and among this strong army The most elite part is undoubtedly the people who followed Li Lin across the north from Youliao. Those hairy heads who didn't understand everything at the beginning gradually became the extremely competent bosses in the Liao army. This is a veteran, An elite growth path!It is not so easy to become an elite. First of all, you have to survive on the battlefield. Of course, this does not mean that you should run away for your own safety. If you become a deserter, you will most likely die faster. Say you can't see the movement behind you while running for your life, and those generals who supervised the battle later will not show mercy. The elimination rate of newly enlisted soldiers in the first battle was almost 40%, because they panicked When facing the ferocious enemy army, when they are in danger, they panic, but on the battlefield, the more panicked, the closer to death!Only those who have survived the battlefield can be called "soldiers." Otherwise, it is just a dead body. From recruits to veterans to elites, the replacement rate is really shocking. A rough estimate is probably ten. Among the recruits, only three can be called veterans, and among them, only one can be called elite!But right now, the 30 Liao army in the serial boats on the river, except for the 8 Jingzhou navy, in Li Lin's eyes, the 4 army under his command actually only has more than [-] Liao troops, which can be called For veterans, these are all people who have followed Li Lin along the way, plus veterans who have surrendered from various princes. Moreover, about [-] of them are first-class elites, and some of them are Li Lin. The soldiers and horses of the Youliao army are all experienced veterans who have experienced more than ten battles, and they are the backbone of the Liao army!One can imagine what a scene it would be if these soldiers were defeated in this battle!

Li Lin is sitting in the north, and there are indeed hundreds of thousands, or even millions of soldiers under his command, but they are not elite soldiers, not even veterans!More than [-]% of them are just soldiers guarding the gates of the city. How many times have they encountered wars?How can those soldiers guarding the city in the rear compare to those soldiers who have been fighting hard on the front line for a long time?Even Li Lin is not a soldier for them but an auxiliary soldier!In Li Lin's eyes, the real elites are those who have fought countless battles, reorganized many times, and buried the corpses of soldiers, so that an elite team can be built!It may take four or even longer to cultivate an elite. The ancients said that raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, so how can training for a thousand days be ruined once?As the commander of this army, Li Lin, how does he feel right now?Whenever Li Lin heard the sound of fighting that could not be concealed, how many of those screams and muffled sounds came from his subordinates?Li Lin didn't want to think about it... Ever since he raised his troops from Le Lang, Li Lin had kept up his strategy of being an elite soldier, with only tens of thousands of troops under his command, and only after defeating Liu He could Li Lin truly be considered The expansion of the army started......

Sometimes a large number of people does not necessarily guarantee victory. From the beginning to the end, what Li Lin puts his best hopes on is only the elite troops under his command.You must know that since Xinye, the casualty ratio of Li Lin's soldiers to Liu Bei's soldiers is six to one. brave.

And now whether the previous bravery will be defeated by the plague, and the belonging of this world, have been given to these tens of thousands of elites. This is also the result that Li Lin will use all his strength to achieve in the end. Victory, but there must be a result. I have to give the soldiers an explanation, even if I want to let them die, I have to let them die clearly...

In the early morning of November 40th in the sixth year of Chengye, the sky was not yet bright, and the river was slightly misty. Among them, thousands of warships sailed across the river, like thousands of prehistoric beasts, slowly driving on the river. This time, the Liao army came out in full force. In the Hanyang Water Village, only thousands of warships were left. Sick and weak soldiers were guarding, and the rest of the Liao army, who could still fight, boarded the ship and left. They had the momentum of not giving up on Jiangdong. The sky was gray and the sun had not yet risen. On the river, only the creaking of the boats could be heard Apart from the sound, there was no abnormal sound at all. The [-] Liao troops were all ready to go, silently standing at their posts, waiting for the war to come.Hundreds of warships, warships, and thousands of boats are all connected by iron cables and covered with wooden boards. Looking from a distance, they look like an island.

"Boom, boom, boom!" This is the sound of the Liao army's drums. It sounds a bit dull today, as if there is an indescribable depression.

In the center of the serial ship is a large building ship connected by 40 warships. Flags are densely planted on it, and the golden Liao flag flutters with the wind. In terms of momentum, the momentum of an army of less than [-] is comparable to that of a million soldiers.

"Finally it's about to start!" Slightly exhaling, Li Lin glanced at the direction of the sunrise in the east, only feeling a little oppressed in his chest, that heavy, slightly worrying about gain and loss feeling, which fluctuated in his heart for a long time.

"Father! It's ready! All the generals are waiting outside for the lord's order!" Xia Houba said with a stern face.

"Okay!" Li Lin nodded heavily and went outside.

"Eh? My lord!" Everyone couldn't help being startled when they saw Li Lin's image, and looked at Li Lin in a daze.

"Oh?" Li Lin twitched his lips, looked at everyone, and joked, "What's wrong? Could it be that you don't recognize me?"

"No!" Zhao Yun on the side shook his head and said, "It's just that I haven't seen the makeup of the lord for a long time!"

"Haha!" Li Lin burst into laughter suddenly, touched the breastplate on his chest, and murmured: "Yes! I almost forgot the feeling of wearing this armor!"

Li Lin has hardly worn any armor since he came down from the south of the Yangtze River. He has always been wearing a white shirt and soft armor for body protection. When his condition worsened, he was always sitting in a wheelchair, let alone wearing armor. The world is dead, after several months of stalemate with Jiangdong, everyone has forgotten Li Lin's armor and the heroic figure of the Lindao at his waist!

Li Lin asked with a smile: "How is it? How do I wear this?"

Everyone immediately said in unison: "The lord's heroic appearance remains undiminished!"

"Hey!" Li Lin rubbed his breastplate and said with a smile, "Stop talking about that useless thing!"

Immediately, his face straightened, and he said coldly: "Brothers, the most critical battle is now!"

"It's better than death!" Li Lin, whether it was Wen or Wu, bowed his hands and shouted in unison.

"Crack!" Li Lin patted the armor on his chest, and shouted: "Okay! Today, let this little grandson Liu see how powerful my Liao army is! Fuck him, his mother doesn't even know him!"

"Drink! Drink! Drink!"

"Beat the drums and cheer for our soldiers!"

"Promise!" Cai Mao clasped his fists in response, and Dang Li waved the flag in his hand, and suddenly the drums on the river surface were loud, like thunder and thunder.

When the sun rose in the east, the fog on the river gradually dissipated, and an army could be faintly seen coming from the direction of Jiangxia.

"Report, enemy traces are found in the east!"

"Zhengdong?" Li Lin was stunned, and immediately came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Haha! The reaction is so fast, it seems that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang are thinking of going together! Degui! Order the whole army! Let's fight!"

"No!" As the drums of the Liao Army became louder and louder, the battle began slowly...

"Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know how powerful the Liao army is!" On the other side of the river, looking at the ferocious Liao army horses, a red-haired and blue-eyed man stood on a high platform and sighed.

"My lord!" As soon as the words fell, the guard beside him chuckled and said, "Right now, the Liao army is just showing off its appearance. I heard from the general governor that a disease broke out in the Liao army. As a result, the Liao army can still have some combat power. ?”

"Having said that, the 40 Liao army should not be underestimated! But, even if the Liao army has [-]% combat strength, I, Jiangdong, will not be afraid! Send orders! Beat the drum!"

"promise!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" With an order, Jiangdong's side was also beating drums.

Yes, it was Sun Quan who fought such a big battle. Although Sun Quan was not familiar with water warfare, as the lord of the six counties and 81 states in Jiangdong, why didn't he come to the scene of the life-and-death battle?After receiving Zhou Yu's news, Sun Quan heard Zhou Yu's certainty of victory from Zhou Yu's tone. Sun Quan was even more happy when he saw it, and immediately sent more troops. Jiangdong had nearly 3 troops, plus Liu Bei's 13 troops, a total of 13 troops , For modern people, it is an unlucky number, but for Sun Quan, for Jiangdong, this [-] army is their last hope...

Just above the Jiangdong warship, Zhou Tai looked solemnly at the endless Liao army warship in front of him, shook his head and frowned and said, "I am afraid that today's battle will be very difficult." As he spoke, he shouted to the Jiangdong soldiers behind him: "Brother Listen, everyone, when the Commander-in-Chief gives an order, we will be the pioneers. I hope that all the soldiers will remember me in Jiangdong and fight bravely. If anyone dares to take a step back, I, Zhou Tai, will recognize you, but I will not recognize you with the sword in my hand! remember?"

When Jiangdong soldiers and horses heard it, they immediately shouted excitedly: "Remember! Don't worry, general!"

"Then..." Turning his head to look at the direction of the flag blowing on the ship, Zhou Tai shouted sharply: "Order the front army, form an array and prepare for battle!"

"drink!"

"I'm afraid that boy Zhou Tai is very imposing right now!" Veteran Huang Gai said to the lieutenant beside him with a smile.

"Hmph!" Lieutenant General Chen Qi sneered, and said dissatisfiedly: "If the old general hadn't just recovered from his injury, this vanguard position must belong to the old general. How could Zhou Tai be as cautious as the old general? In terms of his combat experience, he was not as good as the old general." General!"

Yes, after the battle on the Eastern Front, Huang Gai and Gan Ning survived, but they were also seriously injured, but they were not missing any parts. They were luckier than Zhao Hu. This was the last battle between Jiang Dong and Li Lin In the great battle, Zhao Hu has already been entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Li Lin, how could he miss it when he served Huang Gai for three generations of the Sun family?
"Where are you talking!" Huang Gai stroked his long beard, looked down at his military uniform, and said mockingly: "This old man is old, and it is enough for my lord to use me as a general. It is not as good as when I was under the old lord's tent." When listening to it, there are a lot of talents in Jiangdong right now, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Ling Cao, Zhou Tai, Lu Meng are all rare and powerful generals, my Jiangdong is prosperous, the old master has a spirit in the sky, and he can rest in peace! It's a pity..." As he spoke, Huang Gai's eyes darkened, thinking of Cheng Pu who died when he fought Zhao Hu again.

"General!"

"Hahaha!" Consciously slipping his tongue, Huang Gai smiled and waved his hands and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. It is a happy event for Jiangdong's outstanding people to come out in large numbers. , I waited for help from the left wing before, raised soldiers for a thousand days and used them for a while, so don't embarrass my Jiangdong disciples!"

"promise!"

"Li Lin occupies two-thirds of the world, so it's hard to deal with."

With the same qualifications as Huang Gai, Han Dang, who is currently in charge of the right-wing warship, is looking at the Liao army fleet in the distance.With a wry smile.

"Did the governor give the order?"

"General Qi, the order has not been issued yet!"

"Yeah!" Han Dang, who was over half a century old, nodded, stood on the bow of the boat with his sword hanging, and said seriously: "Although the commander-in-chief has not yet issued an order, we must be prepared, if there is any change in the former army Zhou Tai! I and the right wing must immediately go to help, this battle cannot be neglected, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, general! The last general will understand!"

"That's good!" Han Dang exhaled heavily, shook the sword hanging in his hand, his palms were a little sweaty, the Liao army's strategy of the serial boat, even if there were some storms on the river, it would not harm the Liao army, but May the governor come early!

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The roar of the Liao army resounded through the sky, and the Chibi Jiangdong water village on the opposite side was also ready to fight, but Zhou Yu did not give the order to enter the battle with the Liao army. Listening to the clamor of hundreds of thousands of Liao troops, they have been patiently holding their weapons tightly in their hands. They are waiting, waiting for the order from the governor Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu, he is also waiting... ………

"Everything! It's all for today..." Zhou Yu murmured as he stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back.

"Gongjin!" Maybe he couldn't help it anymore, Lu Su said eagerly: "The Liao army is so clamorous, and our army has not fought for a long time, which is very detrimental to the morale of the army!"
