Chapter 273: New Mode of War
"Saruman's army is approaching, judging from the information from the scout, he has dispatched more than 10,000 troops, this is not a timid life like an orc or an orc, but a powerful monster like a strong orc, they will arrive at us in a few days, and now we can't resist Saruman's army at all!" At a meeting summoning the Fellowship of the Ring, Theudon spoke as soon as he came up.
"......" Xi Youton's words were finished, but the result was inexplicably cold, it turned out that Xi Youdun, Dried Tofu and Yaragon were all looking at Li Xiaoyi, and when Li Xiaoyi looked at Chu Xuan, he found that Chu Xuan was eating some snow fruit, shouldn't you put forward a suggestion for guerrilla warfare, why don't you speak.
"What are you all looking at me for?"
"Don't wait, if there is anything good, take it out quickly, the price is negotiable!"
Li Xiaoyi went crazy all of a sudden, what is the meaning of "take out good things quickly", making himself look like a profiteer who takes advantage of the fire to rob, although he is really ready to do this......
"Ahem, that, there is indeed a new batch of goods, it's just ......"
"As for the power stones, according to the price of you and Boromo, it is guaranteed to meet your requirements, and you will have a thousand muskets first." Heyedon said.
“! Thousands of ......" Hearing this, Li Xiaoyi turned his head to look at Xi Youton.
"The country of Rohan is indeed relatively barren, but at the moment of the great enemy, what is there to be reluctant to give up these belongings, if you can't repel the strong orcs, there will be no people, and keeping wealth will only cheapen the enemy."
"I have discussed with Legolas in the past few days, and he will provide a guarantee, some of the energy stones that the Rohan Kingdom cannot take out for the time being will be replenished by the elves, you have already been to Roslorian, you should know their abilities!" Dried tofu also said from the side, and Legolas nodded in confirmation, now Li Xiaoyi knows that this matter is reliable, and human elves are more than human beings.
"......" But looking at Xiyoudun, Dried Tofu and the elf handsome guy Legolas, Li Xiaoyi was simply speechless, who said that the plot characters have no brains, and the ancient people were stupid, just a few days these three people actually reached a transnational and cross-racial financing plan, although they don't know what the specific conditions are, but they inadvertently created a new mode of war, proxy war!
Among them, the elves are responsible for the money, the Rohan is responsible for the people, the dried tofu is responsible for the business, and Li Xiaoyi is responsible for collecting the money......
"You just said a thousand muskets, how many soldiers can you have here?" Li Xiaoyi was still surprised by the change in the characters in the plot, but Chu Xuan suddenly asked.
Hearing Chu Xuan's words, Xi Youdun and Dry Tofu both had a stunned face, "Hey, because of Saruman, many warriors have been excluded and exiled, and there are only a few hundred cavalry in the country at the moment, including two hundred royal guards, although the cavalry we once met knew that the king had recovered and would definitely come back, but now they are at least fifteen hundred kilometers away from here!" ”
Listening to Xi Youdun's words, Li Xiaoyi couldn't help muttering, "Fifteen hundred kilometers, the translation function of the main god is really powerful, and even the units have been converted...... Can dried tofu bring people back at such a distance? ”
Li Xiaoyi's worries are not unreasonable, because if it is 1,500 kilometers, even the elite cavalry of the Mongolian army, relying on one person, three horses, or even four horses and five horses, will take at least ten days.
Contrary to popular imagination, most cavalry did not have much stronger strategic and tactical mobility than infantry, because horses could not gallop continuously, and they could not travel continuously for a long time, and needed to rest and feed, so in order to maintain mobility, the Mongolian cavalry adopted the method of one person and two horses, and the riding horse and the war horse were separated, and if conditions permitted, more horses would be rotated.
In addition, the pressure on the logistics of the cavalry is extremely huge, feeding the horses not only needs forage, but also needs protein-rich concentrate, especially the more delicate the horses, so even if the Mongolian horses are known for their tolerance to rough feeding, the cavalry also has many horses that carry luggage, judging from the Luohan cavalry that Li Xiaoyi has seen, they are all one person and one horse, so the sustainability is very problematic.
According to the records of the American cavalry, during the Mexican-American War, the American cavalry was one man and one horse, and as a result, as long as the march distance exceeded 300 miles or the time exceeded 5 days, the cavalry could not move as fast as the infantry, so that when the cavalry marched long distances later, the cavalry marched with the infantry, otherwise they would be left behind by the infantry......
Is this the change God has made? In case the reinforcements can't catch up!
“…… Therefore, I intend to move all the people and armies to the Valley of the Holy Helm, and with the natural walls there, and with your muskets, we will be able to stand against this army of more than 10,000 strong orcs. Li Xiaoyi was still distracted, so he didn't hear Xi Youton's words clearly.
"Are there still a hundred elite knights? I mean the most elite Rohan knights with a fighting spirit, and these knights are also proficient in mounted archery. ”?
Li Xiaoyi couldn't understand for a while, why Chu Xuan was only talking about guerrilla warfare now, so he listened to Chu Xuan continue, "Give me a hundred elite knights, and I will be responsible for holding down Saruman's army, so that you can have time to train the soldiers, and the musket also needs time to get used to it." ”
Ossie Desnay, Chu Xuan slyly and cunningly, first held back and let Xi Youton place an order, and then said his own idea, otherwise when it came to the life and death of the battlefield, I am afraid that Li Xiaoyi would not have the time to bargain with Xi Youton, but as soon as he shrank his head like this, he pushed Li Xiaoyi to the front to attract firepower.
At that moment, Xi Youdun was flickered by Chu Xuan's eyes, if it weren't for being the king, I'm afraid he would have to end up in person, and immediately selected the cavalry according to Chu Xuan's suggestion, and several plot characters of the Lord of the Rings Expeditionary Force had no worries, so they naturally joined one after another, and even the dwarf Jin Pi followed, but he didn't know how he rode on the horse.
During the preparation of the cavalry, Zheng Zhan finally came out of the medical cabin, just in time for Chu Xuan's action, Dry Tofu looked at Zheng Zhan's regenerated broken arm, and also felt incredible, although the Lord of the Rings World has magical magic, things like limb regeneration are still very difficult.
Li Xiaoyi proposed 1,000 magic ring rifles according to what Xi Youdun said, and arranged for Cheng Xiao to select a group of good-eyed young people from the people for training, after all, this guy is also mixed in the army.
Then select a hundred people with good marksmanship and can ride horses, pull them out and set off with Chu Xuan, after all, Chu Xuan's plan can fool people, and it is quite reluctant to really go to the battlefield, and it depends on Chu Xuan's preparation of one horse per person and three days of food for people and horses, you know that this guy is the second generation of Zhao Kuo.
I'm afraid this thing doesn't know that horses also have to eat grain, and they eat several times more than people...... (To be continued.) )
