Chapter 474: Mixed Legion (I)
Su Su had many identities when she was a mortal in the past.
Horse thief chief, mage chieftain, realm noble, noble, king...... Wait a minute.
No matter what position she sits, she controls the style of her subordinates extremely strictly.
As she said, when she was still a king, if any general dared to engage in flashy means such as welcoming guests with military music in times of war, even if it was a pat on the back, she would send down thunder and anger.
But after experiencing a fiasco, being knocked from the peak to the mortal dust, and even the soul was forced to split, Su Su's style of acting has changed greatly.
The means of managing her subordinates have become very soft - well, she is now reduced to the point where she has to be managed by her subordinates a lot of the time.
In terms of temperament, she has also become like a real little girl, and she likes to be touted very much.
The guard of honor under Zhennan City, if she didn't welcome her, then she would definitely have to sneer under jealousy. But since it is clear that it is set up for her, then she is triumphant. One by one, I praised the Southern Military Region Command, and the adults had a good look. Even Li Qing complained, but she was beaten up with palladium unreasonably......
However, denying what he just said, Li Qing can still tolerate it. But if Li Qingzong is slandered/over-directed to kidney loss, then he can't bear it.
"Susu, I solemnly declare that my kidneys are very good, and I don't have backache seven times at a time. Lingfeng, Xiao Si, Long'er, and Sister Yuanyuan can all testify for me, and General Ben is a real kidney fighter! β
"Knight, I'll leave that later. Didn't you see that there was a major general with a guard of honor to welcome us? Strictly sΓΉ point, the shelf is up. You are also an imperial major general, what kind of noisy and noisy thing is it? β
Seeing Su Su put on a goddess-like shelf, smiling at the guard of honor like an inspector, Li Qing grinned for a while, and barely endured it.
He said in his heart that in front of outsiders, I will save some face for you. When there are no outsiders, see how I clean you up!
Well, although Su Su has restored the strength of the legendary realm, Li Qing psychologically still regards herself as her guardian and protector. I didn't see her as a true monarch at all.
And Su Su actually has no consciousness of a monarch - a monarch with enough majesty, can he be as reliant as Su Su?
Therefore, to the point where he is often managed by his subordinates, that is also Su Su's own fault. It was she who swept away the majesty of the monarch by herself.
The Southern Theater extended a warm welcome to the arrival of Li Qing and others. Even in wartime, the etiquette of reception should be simplified, and the commander of the theater still sent a welcome and etiquette team led by a major general to play music outside the city gate to welcome him.
After entering the city, he arrived at the headquarters, the commander of the theater, the veteran of the empire, and General Mu Ye, known as the "King of Yan", led the generals in the southern city of the town to greet him collectively, and also made an exception to set up a grand reception banquet, which gave Su Su enough face.
That's right, this face is just for Su Su.
Although Li Qing is also considered to have great military achievements, and Xiaolongnu also has the hope of becoming the next Dragon King of the East China Sea, compared with Su Su, who single-handedly decided the victory or defeat of Zhongshan Island, killed thousands of Tianzhao Land Divisions with one move, killed legendary mages, and laid the foundation for the victory of the Tianzhao Navy, Li Qing and Xiaolongnu's face is still not big enough.
Although Su Su is petite and looks like a cute little girl, her record is real, and she even won the county lord and noblelord and real fief with her military exploits.
With such a strong person who has no shortage of strength and status, even if Admiral Mu Ye is a veteran powerhouse of Zhenguo, he does not dare to ignore her in the slightest.
Moreover, recently, the Holy Light Alliance launched a million servant armies and launched a massive series of offensives against the southern defense line. There were also five major Guardian Knights gathered in the south, and even Carthage, one of the thirteen glorious knights, the "Thunder Prison General", appeared in a bright light, and Mu Ye was under great pressure for a while.
Although the defense line was generally intact, and only some less important areas had fallen, Mu Ye still desperately hoped that the empire would send strong reinforcements. And now, although there is no army to the front line for the time being, there is a Zhenguo mage - the so-called "legendary mage" in the West. And the lethality of legendary mages has always been recognized as far beyond their peers.
Only Su Su alone, on the frontal battlefield, can reach 10,000 elites.
Of course, having a legendary mage pour fire like a turret on a frontal battlefield is just the crudest and most inefficient use of a legendary mage. What if it can reach 10,000 people? Now it is a world war, and both sides are fighting in large armies of hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and 10,000 people are nothing in it.
Like Su Su, although she also likes to pour out firepower, when she really fights, she never thinks of herself as a battery. Instead, most of the time, he blesses his own fighters with buff spells and casts curses on his enemies.
During the battle of Zhongshan Island, her biggest role was to use the transcendent forbidden area to abolish the overwhelming magic power of the Amaterasu Army, giving Li Qing and others the opportunity to defend to the death. The second is to reach a confrontational balance with the legendary mages in the Amaterasu Army, so that the legendary mages of the Amaterasu Army have not been able to play any key role from beginning to end.
With Su Su's mastery of all kinds of spells, he can not only be used as a turret to pour firepower, but also be good at various auxiliary spells, while strengthening his own side, he can also weaken the opponent's super legendary town, and an army of 10,000 people can be used by an army of 100,000.
Therefore, leading a legion and sitting on one side is the most suitable for Su Su.
General Mu Ye, the commander of the Southern Theater Division, knew a lot about the details of the battle of Zhongshan Island and knew very well what key role Su Su played in it. Therefore, for Su Su's arrival, he was looking forward to strong reinforcements for a long time, and it was natural for him to give her a very high courtesy.
As for Li Qing and Xiaolongnu...... The two of them have a good record and reputation, and they are also the seeds of the future town.
However, a seed is a seed, since it has not yet grown into a towering giant tree that can suppress the national fortune, then in the eyes of Mu Ye, a veteran powerhouse of the town, the weight is far from enough. At least until they really grew into the powerhouses of the Zhenguo, Admiral Mu Ye would not compare them to Su Su. will only treat Li Qing and Xiaolongnu as two fierce generals who charge into battle.
Of course, regarding the relationship between Li Qing and Su Su, after a while on Zhongshan Island, the upper echelons of the empire should know almost all about it. As the commander of the Southern Theater of Operations, Mu Ye naturally knows it.
He knew that Su Su had a cold temperament and didn't like to deal with trivial matters. In the battle of Zhongshan Island, she showed her back in the war purely because of Li Qing's relationship. After the war, she didn't even attend the celebration banquet of the three admirals of the East China Sea Fleet, and it was obviously very difficult to deal with.
Therefore, although Mu Ye valued Su Su the most and was the most courteous, he never snubbed Li Qing. After the reception, Mu Ye announced on the spot that he would hand over a mixed army of 10,000 people to Li Qing and let him be responsible for guarding a key line of defense - Mu Ye, who knew the details of the Battle of Zhongshan Island, knew the true scope of application of Su Su.
He knew that a legion with sufficient strength could bring out the greatest power of Su Su. So on the surface, he handed over this army to Li Qing to lead, but Mu Ye, who knew the relationship between Su Su and Li Qing, knew very well that if he used Li Qing well, it would be equivalent to using Su Su, the lord of Yunyang County. Because Su Su will inevitably give Li Qing the greatest support.
And since he wants to give full play to Su Su's power, the mixed army of 10,000 people that Mu Ye handed over to Li Qing will naturally not be an ordinary army. Although there were less than a thousand Imperial regular troops in that legion, and the rest of the troops were all servant troops of different origins, there were also powerful elites in the servant army, which could also play a big role.
In the afternoon, the middle-aged young general who had greeted him with a guard of honor outside the city gate led Li Qing and others to a large camp outside the city to receive the mixed army of 10,000 people.
On the way to the camp, the middle-aged young general introduced the regiment to Li Qing: "This mixed regiment was newly formed by the commander half a month ago after receiving the notice that the county lord of Yunyang, General Li, and General Long were about to take up their posts. Although most of them are elites drawn from the exiled servant armies of Western countries, there are also imperial descendants of 800 wolf riders......"
The Eight Hundred Wolf Riders are the only Imperial descendant troops in this mixed legion. Its soldiers are all from the southwestern part of the empire, a small tribe called "Mu Xiao".
Legend has it that the ancestor of the Mu Xiao tribe was once in the eastern land, and after the end of the mythical era, the general of the first mortal dynasty was sent by the ancestor of the dynasty to open up the southwest with the clan, and since then it has taken root in the southwest and gradually formed the Mu Xiao department.
Legend has it that the general who pioneered the southwest has the blood of an ancient mountain god, is the best at mountain warfare, has the power to move mountains and pull mountains, and can command wolves. As a descendant of the general's clan, the current Mu Xiao Department also has some abilities.
They grew up in the southwestern mountains, and in the mountains and forests, they were as agile as apes. Even some treacherous mountains that even real apes can't climb can't overcome.
They are not burly, but they look a little thin, but they are natural wrestlers. Although they can't move mountains and pull mountains like their ancestors, the adult Mu Xiao people also have the great power to uproot the weeping willows.
The Wood Ray Department is good at taming wolves, and its mount is a specially cultivated wolf through ancestral secret methods, which is only slightly smaller than a war horse, and its agility and endurance are better than that of a war horse. The explosiveness of the short sprint is slightly inferior to that of the war horse.
The Wood Man who rode the wolf was called the "Wolf Rider", and was a traditional strong soldier in the southwest of the empire. Compared with ordinary cavalry, not only is the knight powerful, but the wolf is also not weak. And the wolf is the best at intimidating war horses, and the average excellent war horse can't keep calm in front of the wolf, and it's easy to run away in fright. Therefore, the Wood Wolf Rider is a natural nemesis of ordinary cavalry.
The eight hundred wolf horsemen in the mixed legion are the backbone of the legion on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also undertake some kind of task of supervising the army. After all, the remaining 9,200 people were all servant troops from Western countries, and their composition was complex, and a strong imperial lineage was needed as the backbone to supervise them.
After introducing the eight hundred wolf riders, the middle-aged young general began to introduce the composition of the other nine thousand two hundred people one by one:
"The servant army, from the fallen kingdom of Celt, is five hundred longbowmen. Everyone is a strong man who is two meters tall and his arms are longer than his knees. Make a two-meter long bow, with an arrow weighing a heavy arrow of one or two or seven coins. Ordinary archery can penetrate ordinary leather armor 300 meters away, and if you use magic marksmanship, within 300 meters, it is a knight's plate armor forged from ordinary steel, and it is also an arrow and two eyes......"
