Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

Sure enough, fifteen hundred Qiang soldiers from Xicheng attacked Luofu.

The Qiang people grew up tall and mighty, and their individual combat capabilities were extremely strong, but Luo Fu had already prepared for it.

He laid his main force on the avenue and rushed forward with Qiang soldiers. Archers suddenly appeared on the hillsides on both sides of the avenue.

These archers were condescending, shooting arrows at the Qiang soldiers on the road,
The rain of arrows came in waves, and the Qiang soldiers charging on the road were caught off guard, and hundreds of them were shot and killed in one encounter.

Their individual combat ability is strong, but they have a weakness, that is, their technological strength is far inferior to that of the Han people.

These Qiang soldiers seldom wore armor, and even if they wore armor, they could not withstand the arrows of the Han army.

In just one cup of tea, the Qiang soldiers couldn't resist, and they retreated one after another, leaving behind a pile of corpses or war horses that lost their masters.

Fifteen hundred Qiang soldiers came from Xicheng and immediately retreated to Xicheng.

Luo Fu saw that more than one-third of the Qiang soldiers had been killed or injured, so he immediately led his troops to pursue them.

Before they retreated to Xicheng, they killed some more.

The Qiang soldiers were defeated and huddled in Xicheng, not daring to come out.

Liu Zhang bombed Fuping with catapults for one day, and continued the bombing the next day.

Fuping City is small, and finally on the third day of the bombing, the city wall couldn't hold on and collapsed a few battles wide.

Liu Zhang immediately ordered the army to attack, and entered the city from the collapsed city wall in one fell swoop, beheading Wudang.

There was no leader among the dragons in the city, so Liu Zhang quickly killed some of the enemy troops, and the rest surrendered.

Wudang died, and no one in Beidi County could stop Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang quickly dispatched troops and occupied Lianxian and Lingzhou counties, all of which belonged to Beidi County.

Beidi County governs the next six counties, with a vast area. Although the north is located on the Loess Plateau, which is not conducive to the production and life of the people, the south is mountainous.

Among them, Han and Hu live together, and their strengths are intertwined.

After Liu Zhang occupied Beidi County, he immediately re-appointed county magistrates and other officials in the six counties, and ordered them to check the household registration population, land and other information.

In Beidi County, although there are only 1.8 registered Han people, the number of Hu people is not small.

After controlling the six counties of Beidi County, Liu Zhang stationed troops in each county, and then used the county as a base to radiate around.

Liu Zhang sent troops to exterminate all Hu tribes who did not surrender in the territory.

For all the Hu tribes who surrendered, Liu Zhang allowed to do business with them and gave them appropriate concessions.

The Hu tribe, who had tasted the sweetness, gradually forgot their hatred and surrendered to Liu Zhang.

After Liu Zhang occupied the six counties of Beidi County, he completed the task and obtained a thousand tigers and light cavalry.

However, he didn't stop there.

After five days of recuperation in Beidi County, Liu Zhang sent his army south again, aiming at Anding County.

With the expansion of his territory, the army under his command is also gradually expanding.

The composition of the army has also become more and more complex, and it is no longer an all-Han army.

During the expansion, he absorbed the Hu people from Liangzhou and formed several Hu people cavalry.

Anding County is located in the southwest of Beidi County, surrounded by Wuwei and Hanyang counties. Occupying Anding County means that Liu Zhang will directly border on Han Suimateng's territory.

Since it was decided to segregate Guanzhong, Liu Zhang had already made preparations. He led an army of more than [-] troops and invaded Anding County.

Several princes in Anding County were hard to resist, but Liu Zhang evaluated them one by one in just over a month.

In just over two months, he took over the two counties of Liangzhou. When he set off, his army had grown from [-] to [-].

However, it was already winter, the weather was cold, and the roads were different. He decided to station his army on the spot and wait for the spring of the next year.

However, Han Sui and Ma Teng couldn't sit still.

Ma Teng and Han Sui each called their subordinates to discuss.

On Han Sui's side, most of them are Qiang people, and they have no friendship with Liu Zhang.

The result of their discussion is that the fight will start after the spring of the next year.

On Ma Teng's side, he sent envoys to Chang'an to investigate Liu Zhang's purpose.

Liu Zhang personally received Ma Teng's envoy, and flicked him for a while, showing that he had no hostility.

In the spring of 191, when the weather was warm, Liu Zhang did not wait for Han Sui to make preparations. He led his army from Anding County, attacked Jincheng County in one fell swoop, and defeated Han Sui.

Han Sui led the defeated army and fled to Wuwei County. Liu Zhang continued to pursue, defeated Han Sui's army again, and killed him.

His subordinate Yan Xing surrendered, and the rest of the generals died in battle.

Liu Zhang collected his remnants and got more than [-] men.

In this way, Han Sui, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, Wudang, Li Tong and other Liangzhou princes were all killed, leaving only Ma Teng alone.

Most of Han Sui's subordinates were Qiang people, but most of Ma Teng's subordinates were Han Chinese.

Liu Zhang sent troops to attack Ma Teng from both sides of Jincheng County and Fufeng County. Ma Teng couldn't resist for a while, and within a month, he lost the entire Hanyang County.

Ma Teng retreated to Longxi County, and Liu Zhang sent people to persuade him to surrender.

After thinking about it, Ma Teng decided to surrender.

Liu Zhang won his generals, among whom Pang De was the most powerful.

Ma Teng's descendants Ma Chao, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu and Ma Yunlu are young.

Among them, Ma Chao is over fourteen years old, and his force has reached the adult level.

Three or five men in the army are not his opponents.

Liu Zhang took advantage of the victory to pursue and went south to capture Wudu County, opening up the channel with Yizhou.

In such a short period of half a year, Liu Zhang occupied the seven counties of Wuwei, Jincheng, Beidi, Anding, Hanyang, Longxi and Wudu in the south of Liangzhou.

The essence of Liangzhou has been taken, and the northern counties are thousands of miles away. With Liu Zhang's current strength, even if it is captured, it will not be able to hold it.

So, he took Ma Teng and others back to Chang'an.

In this way, he was able to control the entire Guanzhong area.

The population under Liu Zhang's rule also increased to one million, and the army was 8.

For the fertile land in Guanzhong, it is enough to support this population.

After Liu Zhang occupied the entire Guanzhong, he began to integrate Guanzhong.

Checking out the hidden population, and at the same time including Hu people into the household registration system, finally after more than three months of hard work, the population of the household registration has reached 150 million, of which more than [-] are Hu people who surrendered to him.

When Liu Zhang integrated Guanzhong, the princes of the Guandong also started large-scale annexation activities.

Great changes have also taken place in the Luoyang area.

Dong Zhuo controlled the territory of three counties, but he had to feed an army of 20. After a few months, his food and grass could not hold up.

Situ Wangyun used a divorce plan, and Wen Hou Lv Bu suddenly killed Dong Zhuo when he was offering sacrifices to heaven, and Dong Zhuo's army was in turmoil.

Unable to resist, Lu Bu led the Bingzhou army to leave Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo's former troops, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Duan Yao, Xu Rong and others controlled part of the army from each other, conducted their own affairs, and attacked each other.

Hongnong County and Henan Yin County are in dire straits.

Dong Zhuo's 20 army collapsed in just a few days, leaving only 10,000+ people.

Liu Zhang took the opportunity to open Tongguan and allow them to enter Guanzhong.
