Chapter 0477: What a Great Honor
Qi Tian had Marquis Ma lead the way to the Northern Expedition Army's Grand Camp for inspection.
The Northern Expedition Army totaled around 350,000 men, primarily from three sources. The first source was a part of the Great Zhao Nation's border defense force, which was also the nation's most elite army, battle-hardened and valiant. The second source was local troops, mainly local garrison forces stationed in various counties and local private armies bred by local magnates. Most of them were average in combat and lacked the experience of warring, but they had decent military literacy. The third source was the new recruits summoned after the establishment of the Northern Expedition Army, composed mainly of peasants and townsfolk, fresh faces on the battleground.
