Alexander Invades China and Korea

(Anachronistic bonanza!)

And then from the Mountains of Goguryeo, General Eulji Mundeok arrives with 100,000 Gema Cavalry, 200,000 Axemen, 150,000 heavy infantry, and 300,000 crossbowmen and Archers.  An aditional 500 have been recruited from the Okjeo region and the Malgal Chieftans have agreed to send 100,000 of their finest tribal warriors.

Messages are then sent promptly south to Shilla, Gaya, and Baekje. 

Shilla has sent 400,000 infantrymenmen led by General Kim Yushin, which is augmented by the legendery Bamboo Leaf Army of about 200,000 infantryman/bamboo people and about 150,000 calvalry.  With him, General Kim carries The Flute to Calm 10,000 waves, which when played wreaks destruction on enemy lines.  An extra 200 men have been recruited from the neighboring tributary Usanguk.

In the federation of Gaya, the two major powers, Dae Gaya and Bon Gaya have set aside their rivalries to help fight the common evil.  They each send 50,000 heavy plate armoured infantrymen. 

Baekje, decides to send a good  350,000 infantrymen led personally by General Gyebaek.  In addition to this, the good general commands 100,000 of Baekje's finest cavalry.  With him, General Gyebaek carries the 7-pronged sword with which he is able to carve large swaths into enemies in a 1 li radius.  An extra 200,000 Wae (Japanese) Tanko infantry have arrived from the Wae tribes to the south and from Tamna have come 500 horsemen, famed for their skill. 

From all the temples of Korea, Buddhist monks have amalgated to form the "Subdue Western Demon Corps", a massive force 400,000 of sinewy martial arts madness. 

Oh...and they also have about 1000 Shingicheon Hwachas...yea those rocket launcher thingies.  Have Alexander take a bite of that!

Oh and China can come along too.

There was no professional army in Alexander's time that could have numbered that many. 600,000 was the entire population of a kingdom at that time. Without even looking at the logistics or the enormous cost to maintain it, to gather such an army you would have to conscript untrained, ill-equiped levies. As shown in the Persian Wars, such an army, no matter what the size, will be slaughtered by the professional arms of a nation. Against a technologically superior foe in China (I do not know about Korea), a nation who could also 'out-levy' the Macedonian Empire, Alexander's army would be wiped out to a man.
