Three Kingdoms headhunting system

Chapter 16 Building an Ace Legion

Sure enough, when Yuan Shao saw that Hu Li did not take the opportunity to attack Quyang City, he temporarily put aside Hu Li's threat and concentrated on dealing with Gongsun Yanlai.But Hu Li is not idle here. Although he has no idea of ​​attacking the city for the time being, Hu Li vowed to win the territory of Changshan Kingdom. While digesting Yuan Jun's prisoners, Hu Li sent three thousand light cavalry and one thousand heavy infantry all the way. The Wubao built by the landlord Haoqiang who swept through the cottages and villages in Changshan Kingdom.With the mobility of light cavalry and the powerful attacking ability of heavy infantry, in less than three months, there were only a few isolated county towns in Changshan Kingdom that still had the banner of Yuan Jun planted.

Because Hu Li's army only killed bandits and landlords who bullied the people, and never plundered the people, and would distribute the confiscated land and some money and food to the poor people, the Langtou banner of the Changshan Army was received in Changshan. With the warm welcome of the people, under the strong support of the people, the counties in the Changshan Kingdom all chose Kaesong to surrender after waiting for the reinforcements for a month but failed.

At the beginning of July 196 AD, all the cities of Changshan Kingdom were planted with the wolf-headed banner of the Changshan Legion, and the entire Changshan Kingdom became the territory of Hu Li. It went well, because most of the Yuan Jun who surrendered came from Jizhou, and even 7% of Yuan Jun's hometown was in the territory of Changshan.Since then, Hu Li's army has reached as many as 70, but those with combat effectiveness can only count the 5 soldiers in the three cities of Zhending, Jiumen, and Gengxiang and the surrendered Chunyu. The 2 Yuan soldiers under Qiong, and the remaining [-] soldiers from more than ten counties in Changshan Kingdom still need several months of training before they can gain combat effectiveness.

The combat effectiveness of the army is not so satisfactory, and the internal affairs are even more troublesome for Hu Li. Because Hu Li almost wiped out all the landlords and tyrants, although this move has made the people support him, but in this aristocratic family, the tyrants master knowledge and talents, and poor people generally read In the era when he couldn't afford books, Hu Li's disadvantages of wantonly offending the powerful families were finally revealed. Hu Li didn't have a single internal affairs talent under him, so he could only be short and tall, and promote some capable officials with good reputation to the top. The status of the lord of the county, and then dispatched henchmen to control the army in the county. This system similar to military management can guarantee the stability of the territory, but it cannot promote the prosperity and vigorous development of the territory, and the high-pressure policy that lasts too long will also stimulate a large society. contradiction.Therefore, Hu Li invested in the construction of a large number of schools to promote knowledge, and at the same time called on the poor students who studied abroad to return to Changshan to build their hometown together.

While Hu Li was worried about talents, he had to build a defense line to deal with Yuan Shao's army's attack. He invested 1 people in each of the four cities where Yuan's army in Jizhou was most likely to attack, Tang, Jiumen, Pingji, and Gaoyi. The ten or so counties in the territory were all wiped out due to banditry and tyranny, and only 300 people need to stay behind. Hu Li still has 6000 people left in his hands. There are also two cities, Shangai and Jingxing, that need to be defended against the Yuan army of Bingzhou who may attack. Hu Li, who always felt that the army was stretched, had no choice but to recruit another [-] recruits. Fortunately, the people in Changshan Kingdom were loyal, and the people all had their own land to cultivate. In order to protect this hard-won life, there were countless young and strong who volunteered to join the army. , [-] recruits were quickly recruited, but it still takes time to train to form combat effectiveness. Now Hu Li only hopes that Yuan Shao can give himself more time.

Resignation to fate is not Foxy's character. In order to protect his territory, Foxy decided to build an ace army and re-domesticated Foxy's first pet brown bear. After that, Foxy took three hundred guards all over Changshan Relying on the vision of golden eagles and the sense of smell of big bears, Hu Li captured more than [-] bears, [-] tigers, and [-] wild boars by virtue of his domestication ability.

After secretly transporting these big guys back to the mountain forest outside Zhending City, Hu Li asked the craftsmen to build suitable armor for them, and at the same time cooperated day and night with soldiers who had experience in raising Siberian tigers and wolves in the grassland to tame these big guys. After a few days, Foxy, who felt that the progress was slow, decided to use the remaining 100 points of charm to strengthen Xiong Da. After strengthening Xiong Da, his standing height reached three meters and his weight reached 1600 catties. Armor specially made for it, holding a six-meter-long iron rod with a thick bowl mouth, beat up more than 80 big guys one by one. After the beating, those big guys really became much more honest. With the interlaced use of Conquering People with Virtue and Conquering People with Xiong Da's Power, the taming process has been accelerated a lot.

Two months later, those big guys were able to obey the simple orders of their dedicated breeder soldiers. Of course, the premise was that there was a big bear on the side to deter them with force.As for Xiong Da, Hu Li gave it to Zhu Zi, a 12-year-old boy who has grown into a qualified soldier. After Hu Li canceled Xiong Da's pet quota, Xiong Da, who had been strengthened and greatly improved in intelligence, was able to obey Zhu Zi. But if you want to use the stick that hurts the skin but not the flesh, you have to control it yourself. However, if you rush into the enemy's line, the fully armed Xiong Da is definitely a killing machine.

In mid-October, the scout sent the information that General Yuan Jun Wen Chou led an army of 80 troops from Wuji County to Jiumen to Hu Li through Xinying. Hu Li immediately replied and asked Zhao Yun to prepare to defend the city and wait for him to lead the ace army to arrive. Think again about a good strategy to defeat the enemy.Hu Li rushed to Jiumen with more than 200 big guys, their breeders and more than 150 personal soldiers. At the same time, he sent a letter eagle to let Zhending's two thousand light cavalry join him. There are still more than [-] miles away from Zhending City Through the sight of the golden eagle, Hu Li found the five thousand Yuan Jun ambushing in the woods on the left side of the road twenty miles ahead. If the golden eagle's eyes were not sharp enough, and he was looking down from a high altitude, Hu Li would not have been able to spot it. This ambush circle, mainly because the ambush circle was set up big enough, two miles away from the road in the middle, was obviously not intended to kill Hu Li's support army, but to cut off their retreat after Chang Shan's army passed by.

Of course, Hu Li, who found the ambush, would not rush in. He quickly ordered to camp and rest, and then thought about the strategy to defeat the enemy. When he saw the withered and yellow grass by the roadside, he thought about it.In the evening, Hu Li led two hundred soldiers under the guidance of the owl's vision, and carefully surrounded the five thousand Yuan army in the woods. Then he took out the prepared kerosene and dry firewood, and started to set fire. It is October now. In the middle of the month, there were dry branches and leaves everywhere in the woods. After a while, the whole forest caught fire. It really burned five thousand Yuan's troops, throwing away their helmets and armor, crying for their parents and mothers, and less than a hundred people escaped.
