The total number of cavalry led by Shengliang also reached 50,000.

In comparison, Chen Hansan's troops in Fengshan were not replenished, but the terrain of Fengshan and Bailian River was steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although the Chizhou Army had twice the strength, it had no confidence that it could attack Fengshan——

Chen Hansan himself was a fierce general, and he was also a strong general whose retreat was blocked. His subordinates were all heinous and vicious people.

Seeing the depressed looks on Yue Lengqiu and Liu Tingzhou's faces, Lin Fu knew their worries, so he just smiled and invited them inside to talk.

Indeed, in terms of military strength, the Huaidong Army plus the Chizhou Army did not have an advantage at all.

Of course, the strength of the Huaidong Army is not as lacking as it appears.

Due to the rapid expansion of the Huaidong Army, the early scale of the engineering camp, which had tens of thousands of people, shrank rapidly last year, once reaching less than 50,000 people. However, after the Jiangning War, one of the most important tasks of the Huaidong Army was to re-large the army.

Expand the scale of the labor and supply camps to ensure sufficient reserves of soldiers.

This work focuses on Xuzhou, Luzhou, and Jin'an, and strives to expand the size of the supply troops in Xuzhou, Luzhou, and Jin'an to more than 50,000 people.

After the Shangrao War, Zhang Gou led his troops from Fuzhou to the south to attack Shaowu, and cooperated with Zhao Qingshan of eastern Fujian to attack along the west of Fujian and Jiangxi to build Anfu. The remaining troops of the She family in northern Fujian only had 10,000 people, and they were attacked by 40,000 soldiers and horses.

The next step is to abandon the cities along the Min River and retreat into the deep mountains and old forests.

Lin Fu left Zhao Qingshan in Jian'an and continued to suppress the remaining forces of the She family in northern Fujian, and ordered Zhang Gou to lead his troops north to join the war. In fact, at the same time, Lin Fu secretly ordered Chen Dingbang's troops from the Eastern Fujian camp to be organized on the spot.

The Second Division of Changshan Camp went north together.

Zhang Gou led his troops north to join the battle. The strength of the troops was actually not the full strength of the fifth brigade of 15,000 as predicted by outsiders, but the overstrength of the seventh brigade of 24,000 elite troops.

Chen Zhi's troops suffered heavy casualties in the Shangrao War. Nearly 2,000 generals were killed and more than 4,000 wounded. Therefore, after the Shangrao War, Lin Fu transferred Chen Zhi's troops to

Go to Ganzhou for rest and recuperation. In addition to rest and recuperation, another purpose of Chen Zhi's troops stationed in Ganzhou is to absorb the resistance forces in southern Ganzhou. In addition to strengthening Chen Zhi's troops, it also consumes hidden dangers to local security.

Chen Zhi led his troops north to participate. The strength of the troops was not the full strength of the fifth brigade of 15,000 soldiers predicted by foreigners, but the overstrength of the sixth brigade of 22,000 soldiers.

In Jiangzhou, Yuzhang's garrison troops and horses, Lin Fu, all transferred troops to replace the elite soldiers. In Yu Wencheng, Zhang Jiheng and other troops passed Jiangzhou and crossed the river north to Qichun, then entered Huangzhou, and then

Part of the supply troops were recruited as combat soldiers. Although the establishment of the five brigades of the two town divisions remained unchanged, each brigade and each battalion had an excess of 20% of the combat soldiers.

Not counting Tang Fuguan, Liu Zhenzhi, Sun Zhuang, Huang Zuyu and other troops in Luzhou as partial divisions, the infantry and battalion combat forces that Lin Fu could mobilize in Huangzhou included Zhang Jiheng, Yu Wencheng, Zhang Gou, and Chen Zhi.

Up to 85,000 people.

Zhou Pu led a cavalry camp of five thousand men.

The naval force led by Ge Cunxiong, Su Pinxiao, and Hu Yuer was not only 30,000 men in name, but actually had to be overstretched by 10,000, making a total of 40,000 men.

In addition, Lin Fu has ordered Zhao Hu to lead the Jiangning Forbidden Camp Infantry with 10,000 soldiers and horses to immediately march westward, leaving only 10,000 soldiers and horses for Qin Chengzu in Jiangning to sit in the center. However, there is no threat around Jiangning, and 10,000 defenders are enough.

.

Not counting the Chizhou Army and the Chaishan Offensive Division, the number of troops Lin Fu could gather in front of the eastern Hubei defense line would reach 140,000. If the Chaishan Offensive Division was included, the number of troops Lin Fu could directly mobilize in Jingxiang would be 140,000.

Nearly two hundred thousand; including Chizhou Army and Jinghu Army, the strength of the entire southern front was actually not much lower than that of Yanhu.

Compared with before, Lin Fu could only mobilize 20,000 troops from Huangzhou to assist in the battle. Therefore, he issued a land grant order to attract and encourage civilians, tenant farmers and urban poor to come to Huangzhou to assist in the battle to supplement the army.

The shortcomings of common people.
