Chapter 255: The Central Plains

At the same time, on the vast Central Plains Continent, Luo Yi, who had changed into a yan-blue robe, was riding on a horse with a spear in his hand, quietly watching the torrent of iron horses under his command break through a city not far ahead.

When the rest of the Yandi Nine Horsemen were cheering, Luo Yi was the only one, looking at the south with his eyes, but he didn't know what he was looking at, this abnormal behavior made the young man in the Yandi Nine Horsemen feel puzzled in his heart, no, he rode to Luo Yi's side and asked

"Boss, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so sullen, didn't we just take a city, why do you cry with a sad face, just like who owes you eight dollars. ”

This person's words were quite interesting, anyway, the people who stayed next to Luo Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing his words.

Seeing these people laughing, Luo Yi's complexion did not change at all, and after glancing at them, he closed his eyes and said with some emotion

"Boss, we are still a few days away from Xinye."

The guy who was called the boss by Luo Yi pursed his lips, and after thinking for a while, he replied without thinking

"It won't be long, after dealing with the affairs of this city, we can set foot on the Jingxiang Ancient Road, after stepping on the ancient road, we only need to go all the way south, and there will be no obstacles similar to the various obstacles encountered a few days ago, I estimate, according to our current marching speed, there should be five or six days, and we should be able to get to the vicinity of Xinye City."

Lao Mi's analysis is still good, because the marching route of this iron cavalry army has been arranged by him for a while, so for the judgment of the distance, what he said is more credible than many people.

Luo Yi also nodded, opened his eyes, first sighed, then blew his nose, and sighed

"Yes, it didn't take long, after entering the Jingxiang Ancient Road, that is, the avenue of Pingchuan, according to the speed of the iron cavalry, it is indeed possible to reach it in five or six days in the state of rapid marching, but if that is the case, after arriving near Xinye, the energy of the soldiers will be exhausted."

Luo Yi's experience is more experienced than that of Lao Yu, the reason why their marching speed has been maintained in a state of rapid march in the past few days is nothing more than because of the current Central Plains Continent, the power to defeat their iron cavalry no longer exists, and it can even be said that even the strength to compete with their iron cavalry has already gone south, as for the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, they do still have the strength to stop their iron cavalry, but it also takes a lot of effort, so it is because there is no opponent to watch out for, Luo Yi gave the order and promised to keep the state of rapid march to the south.

But if the tens of thousands of iron horsemen of their tens of thousands of people still marched all the way after entering the Jingxiang Ancient Road, then they would fall into great danger.

After all, no matter how much it is said that there are still 100,000 Central Plains coalition troops stationed there near Xinye City, if they march in a hurry, when they reach the vicinity of Xinye City, the remaining combat power of their iron cavalry will not be the opponent of the Central Plains alliance army at all, and the outcome caused by this process is also an ending that Luo Yi and the little emperor of the Beigen Empire cannot accept.

"What do you mean, boss?"

Although the old man is inexperienced, his brain can be regarded as a quick response, and it didn't take long to sort out another layer of meaning contained in Luo Yi's words.

"After entering the Jingxiang Ancient Road, I ordered to go down, the normal march does not need to march in a hurry, leave an energy for the soldiers to rest, there are seven or eight cities to conquer the city for a while, and the energy of the soldiers is believed to have been almost consumed by now, and after entering the ancient road, it is time for them to rest and recuperate, after all, there are still 100,000 Central Plains coalition troops waiting for their cavalry guns in Xinye."

After Luo Yi pondered for a while, he said these words, although his experience is old, but if he leads the troops to fight, he can only be a beginner, so he can only make this decision, but just such a decision, Luo Yi would not think that such a decision would cause the tens of thousands of iron horsemen under his command to suffer a catastrophe.

Why?

Just because of the Central Plains Continent, there is no country, no party has this existence that can eat their tens of thousands of iron horses.

In the eyes of the iron cavalry of their Beigen Empire, only those main battle legions of the Nanli Empire who can be called their opponents in the world have that qualification.

As for the armies of other countries, in the eyes of the iron cavalry of the Beigen Empire, they are just a group of people who sell their heads, and they are not their opponents at all.

If they were to destroy a defeat, it would only be an indelible shame for the Beigen Empire and for their iron cavalry.

The pride of the Iron Cavalry exists in the hearts of everyone up and down the Beigen Empire, even if the tens of thousands of Iron Cavalry under Luo Yi's current command were just the border troops stationed on the border of the Beigen Empire before this, because this still could not affect their contempt for the Central Plains army.

In their opinion, in the huge Central Plains Continent, among the hundreds of countries, only a few countries are qualified to compete with them, and the rest of the countries and armies, if they face each other on the battlefield, there is no doubt that they will be slaughtered one-sidedly, which is the source of their self-confidence.

However, although self-confidence is a good thing, if you are blindly confident, it is not self-confidence, it will only be arrogance.

Blind arrogance will cause irreparable consequences, which Luo Yi still knows in his heart, not to mention that he also knows in his heart that the number of troops invested by the Nanli Empire on the battlefield in the north is not even enough for the number of iron cavalry under his command, although Luo Yi does not know the elite level, but it will definitely not be where the elite of the comprehensive strength is.

Relying on those people to resist the coalition army of at least 200,000 in the Central Plains is simply a fool's dream, even if the Nanli Empire has the advantage of city walls and geographical advantages, Luo Yi still feels that this is a situation in which the Nanli Empire is at a natural disadvantage.

Therefore, at this juncture, the 50,000 iron cavalry of their Beigen Empire will become a new force that can completely change the tide of the war by surprise.

If the timing of their appearance is perfect enough, Luo Yi believes that it will definitely make the Central Plains Coalition pay a terrible price, and it will also surprise those who left the Southern Empire in the northern army to know about it.

Leading troops to fight, I Luo Yi don't understand, but I Luo Yi can learn, not to mention that I have a full 50,000 Beigen Iron Cavalry in my hands, and the existence of this force alone is enough to sweep a powerful storm that is difficult to stop on the land of the Central Plains, there is no doubt about it.

In terms of individual strength, in this Iron Cavalry Legion with a number of 50,000 people, there are nine horsemen like Yandi who can compete with top monks, not to mention that there are many high-grade monks in this Iron Cavalry Legion, and the grades are not low.

If you talk about the comprehensive strength, let alone look at the entire Central Plains, it is simply rare to find a legion that is comparable to the comprehensive strength of this Iron Cavalry Legion.

Therefore, this army will be able to conquer cities effortlessly even if it maintains a state of anxious march along the way during this period of southward movement, and even captures seven or eight cities with a negligible number of battle losses along the way.

Once caught in the siege and defense of the city, the cavalry's previous advantage will be lost, and the battle losses they will pay will only be similar to the infantry, or even higher.

The same battle damage sounds like nothing wrong, but cavalry and infantry, the training value of these two types of troops is not the same at all.

In the Beigen Empire, the amount of money it takes to train an iron knight is completely worth the money spent on training five or even ten infantrymen, and the cost of training one of the more elite iron knights is the cost of training twenty or even thirty or forty foot soldiers.

This huge difference in the cost of cultivation makes it absolutely difficult for them to accept the price they have to pay when they encounter this kind of war in the siege and defense of the city.

Although they are empires, they are not empires that are known for their economy, and they have not yet reached the point where they can spend lavishly and at will.

The cavalry training value basis of the Beigen Empire is like this, and on the other hand, the cavalry on the mainland is also good in the Nanli Empire.

Anyway, in the Yulin Black Cavalry, which has the nickname of the strongest cavalry in the Nanli Empire, the basic cost of cultivating a black cavalry is the cost of cultivating a hundred foot soldiers at the level of the Nanli Legion.

Therefore, this is also the fundamental reason why the number of the Feather Forest Black Cavalry of the Nanli Empire has remained at about 1,000 even now.

It's too expensive, even if it's the heritage of the Nanli Empire, they won't be allowed to invest too much money on a Feather Forest Black Cavalry that rarely has a chance to appear on the frontal battlefield.

No matter how you say it, the daily task of the Yulin Black Rider is nothing more than to defend Jinling, except for some important battles, the Yulin Black Rider basically rarely goes out.

And this can also reflect the weakness of the Central Plains Coalition Army in the rear now.

The countries with names and surnames have all been conscripted over, and although there are still dozens of remaining countries, unless Luo Yi leads troops to bully them, otherwise just one or two cities will be attacked, and they will only turn a blind eye and treat it as if it never happened, after all, they don't have the confidence to let them provoke the Beigen Empire that can crush them with a finger.

Coupled with the low quality of their own military quality, it is difficult for many countries to compete with the 50,000 iron cavalry under Luo Yi's command even if they do their best, and it is already their wish to be able to defend their country from being destroyed by this iron cavalry army.

It can be said that after Luo Yi's iron cavalry army showed the banner of the Beigen Empire these days, they basically rarely encountered some friction along the way, because the national armies in the Central Plains all recognized the banner of the Beigen Empire, especially after they saw the tens of thousands of cavalry in the black press, where did they still have the mind to fight?

Just hugging your head and running around hoping that you won't be bumped into by others, where did you come from so many and some of them, they don't have no numbers in their hearts, they naturally know that they can't beat it, and whether they are qualified to fight with others.

As the saying goes, adults fight, they, children, don't come forward to make a fuss, it doesn't matter, they don't know how to die when they die.

You must know that Luo Yi's combat strength of the 50,000 Iron Cavalry Legion can completely fight a war at the level of annihilation in the Central Plains Continent without any effort.

Because of the hundreds of countries in the Central Plains Continent, to be honest, there are really not many things to see, as long as Luo Yi's brain is not pumped, except for the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han and some of their vassal countries, basically the remaining Central Plains countries will only be like paper paste in front of them, and there is no chance of winning at all.

Of course, the main reason for this is because the 200,000 troops of the Central Plains Coalition Army are all unable to move on the battlefield in the south, and their rear defenses are empty.

Even the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han have to weigh how not to anger the Beigen Empire on weekdays, not to mention them, the chess pieces that the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han can throw away at any time?

Therefore, the seven or eight cities that have conquered the city along the way, the average time to capture the city is basically half a day, the fastest one, Luo Yi and their iron cavalry army have just arrived in the city, and they have not yet started fighting, and the city gates over there have been opened, so they directly bowed down in front of the Beigen Iron Cavalry Legion and begged for surrender without saying a word.

Any will to fight is gone in front of those small countries, because they are too afraid, in the Central Plains Continent, it is common to destroy a country, but who would want that common thing to be themselves?

To be able to make one's own country exist in the Central Plains, and wait until the future to completely occupy a place in the Central Plains and wrestle with Zhao, Wei and Han, until the final unification of the Central Plains Continent, this is the unification desire of hundreds of countries in the Central Plains Continent.

Why did they still choose to build a country in the Central Plains despite knowing that the war was raging on the Central Plains Continent?

Because in addition to the Central Plains Continent on the continent today, they basically have masters in all the other places, and the powerful countries around them can crush them at any time.

There is the Beigen Empire in the north, the Nanli Empire in the south, and there are five major dynasties in other places, only the Central Plains, there is no empire and dynasty, only the three powerful countries of Zhao, Wei and Han are here to make a fortune.

Any new country without any assistance, any dynastic country can sweep them into the dust of history in an instant, and become a thing of the past forever.

But in the Central Plains, occupying a city and having a thousand soldiers can become a country of its own, this powerful temptation, why don't they stop moving?

Moreover, the temptation of the Central Plains is not just a mere founding of the country.

Unified the Central Plains, it is a universally recognized rule that it will immediately become an empire-level country.

How many years ago, didn't the Zhongjin Dynasty, which did not unify the Central Plains, also become a posture that could compete with the Nanli Empire a little?

If the Middle Jin Dynasty at that time unified the Central Plains, how could they be so easily divided by the three families?

Even if it is the trend of the times, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, which inherited the Zhongjin Dynasty, will become a dynasty-level country, not similar to the current one, which can only be condescended to the land of the Central Plains, even if it is to launch a foreign war, it is necessary to wait for a good time, pull a bunch of junior brothers, and form a huge army before daring to declare war on the Nanli Empire?

The unification of the Central Plains and the scattered countries of the Central Plains are two concepts.

When a country emerges on the Central Plains Continent that will have the posture of unifying the Central Plains, at the very least, the Beigen Empire will not arbitrarily throw the number of 50,000 iron cavalry in the Central Plains, because at that time, even if the Beigen Empire is facing the Central Plains, it needs to be cautious and cautious, because when that time comes, 50,000 iron cavalry may become the meal on the plate of that country.

Instead of being like now, let a Luo Yi, who had never led troops to fight before, run rampant in the Central Plains with 50,000 iron horsemen, without any power that could eat them in one go.

The three major empires in the world, the Nanli Empire occupies the Southern Continent, drives the Xikun Dynasty into Xichuan, suppresses the Dongxun Empire in the Jiangdong Continent, occupies three-fifths of the territory of the Southern Continent, governs thirteen states, raises hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the military service of the Nanli Empire has always been an elite military policy, with good combat effectiveness, and the status of economic development and literature is far ahead of the countries on the mainland, not to mention the significance of the monks.

And the Dongxun Empire, although it was suppressed by the Nanli Empire in the Jiangdong Continent, but how can the Jiangdong Continent have the Yangtze River natural danger, over the years, in addition to the barbarians from the north and south from time to time to invade the border, the Dongxun Empire has always been in the development of its own body with peace of mind, proud of the world with a naval army, and Taihao Fuxi, the Ming monarch, the art of divination transcends the world does not know how many steps, the name of the empire, Dongxun is naturally responsible.

And the Beigen Empire is not to mention, the iron cavalry swept the world, except for the Nanli Empire, no one on the frontal battlefield is the opponent of the Beigen Iron Cavalry, if it were not for the Beigen Empire Now there are contradictions in the country, I am afraid that the Beigen Empire has already gone south and started to attack the Central Plains.

Although the outbreak of wars in the Central Plains for many years has caused the economy to slow down, the foundation of the Central Plains is still good, and it can be said that the Central Plains has only owed an opportunity over the years, and a suitable country has appeared to unify the Central Plains.
