Chapter 45
Because of the special terrain of the Eastern Xun Kingdom, its infantry is extremely poor, as for the cavalry? There is only one horse farm in Dongxun, and the horses in that horse farm are even more shameless to mention in Dongxun.
I don't know if it's a curse or what, the horses in the horse farm are compared to the horses in the Central Plains and the horses in the northern horse farms, they are simply foals, small in size, although the endurance is good, but can that thing really be used to train cavalry? Who would dare to believe it?
The use of these horses in Dongxun is currently only for miscellaneous work such as consignment of goods, and because the northern countries are extremely strict about their own horse sources, Dongxun has no real cavalry establishment until now, and only occasionally a few dignitaries have the opportunity to have a mount of their own.
And in addition to the cavalry, the infantry strength of the Eastern Xun Kingdom is also miserable, even the militia of Nanli is estimated to be much stronger than them, and the only bright spot of the infantry of the Eastern Xun is estimated to be the archers.
Heaven has deprived the Eastern Xun Kingdom of its talent for melee combat, and it will also give the Eastern Xun soldiers the talent for bows and crossbows, and if there is one of the countries with the most marksmen, it is undoubtedly the Eastern Xun Kingdom.
In addition to the unsatisfactory level of the army, what can still be handled by the Eastern Xun Kingdom is their naval army.
Due to the geographical location of the Eastern Xun Kingdom, they are surrounded by water, and various river basins shuttle through the Eastern Xun country, which makes the fishing and animal husbandry of the Eastern Xun country extremely developed, so the water army of the Eastern Xun country is naturally proud of the countries.
It is precisely because of this naval army that the Dongxun Kingdom has rarely experienced wars since its unification, except for fighting the barbarians next door, it is a routine drill, a battle between the two countries? Not to mention, there are very few spacious rivers in other countries, and they don't bother to train such things as the navy, and there is no place for them to train.
Therefore, the Yangtze River basin has become a natural danger of the Eastern Xun Kingdom, and the outside countries must cross this natural danger if they want to enter it, and if the Eastern Xun Kingdom wants to go north, they must also cross this natural danger and then let their own army like cannon fodder to attack the city.
This is also the reason why the Yangtze River is also defeated and the Yangtze River is defeated, but it is worth mentioning that the junction between Dongxun and Nanli is not within the scope of this natural risk, so if there is any country that is easiest to enter Dongxun, it is Nanli.
However, in the past hundred years, Nanli has not even figured out his own domestic affairs, where does he have the leisure time to expand abroad.
Lingyang County, is the bridgehead between the East Xun Kingdom and the South Departure Country, the original Lingyang County is sparsely populated, and the south of the country of Wuyang County is almost the same, but now the number of Lingyang County in this period of time has increased sharply, rangers from the two countries are active in this mediocre small county, which inevitably has some spies from the South.
But Lingyang County Zun has nothing to do about this, he can't see a Nanli person and order to arrest that guy, anyway, paper can't contain the fire, and there is nothing to hide about his country's war against Nanli now, a few days ago, there was news in Chengdu City, that the central army has mobilized tens of thousands of people to come to his Lingyang County in batches, what he has to do now is to prepare the needs of the army, and sort out a grain storage place, after all, the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, even children understand, It was very troublesome for them to assemble a large army of food and grass, and he didn't want to make a mistake in this matter, otherwise he might lose his head.
As for the terrain of Xikun Country, it is diametrically opposed to Dongxun, not to mention the navy in their country, and they can't even find a river, the navy? The Xikun Kingdom still doesn't know what a navy is, and which country does they need to prepare their own navy?
There is no naval army, and there is no cavalry, there are not many places in Xikun that need horses, and there is no horse-producing land in Xikun itself, so the cavalry is reasonably canceled directly.
And why can the Xikun Kingdom, which only has infantry, overwhelm the countries by force alone?
Actually, there are two reasons for this
The first point is that there was a peerless ruthless man in Xikun Kingdom to lead the army at that time, and that peerless ruthless man was also the black-robed Saint Monarch, and it was rumored that although the strength of the Xikun Army was good, it was also ranked among the armies of the countries, but if this army did not have a black-robed Saint Monarch to lead, they would only be able to rank high, and the strong army would have nothing to do with them.
At that time, how strong was the black-robed Saint Monarch in terms of military commanding ability? If he hadn't been conceited at that time to challenge the uneven wind and cause serious injuries and run back to Xikun overnight, then the commander jointly elected by the alliance of all countries later would definitely be his black-robed Saint Monarch instead of the old commander with average strength.
When the alliance of all countries was completely defeated by Zhou Dunyi in the first battle, there were many people who looked up to the sky and roared, sighing why the commander was not the black-robed saint-monarch, assuming that the black-robed saint-monarch came to lead them, in their hearts, how could Zhou Dunyi beat them like this, if they were under the leadership of the black-robed saint-monarch, I am afraid that they would have been killed under the city of Jinling and forced the emperor to sign the alliance under the city.
And that battle also achieved the prestige of Zhou Dunyi's tiger handsome, although many people think that Zhou Dunyi's reputation is flashy, and think that it is because Zhou Dunyi did not face the black-robed saint-monarch, but who made the black-robed saint-monarch at that time flee for his life, and he couldn't even take care of his own country's army, how could he have spare time to take care of these others.
So until now, Zhou Dunyi has never confronted the two armies of the black-robed Holy Monarch, and there is no accurate answer to who is the military god of this era.
As for the second reason, it is that the overall folk customs of Xikun State are strong, its people are martial, each is strong and strong, and the basic quality of individual soldiers should be the top of all countries, and its people are numerous, which can be the first among all countries.
Xikun country for thousands of years, it is rumored that their founding monarch is a female monarch, with a domineering cultivation for the power of the Quartet, can be called the top of that era, no one can match, her status as a monk at that time, is equivalent to today's uneven status in general, no one dares to provoke its might.
After the thirteenth generation of Xikun Kingdom, it was already the fourteenth when the current Kun Emperor arrived, and their founding monarch was also respected as Emperor Wa by the people of Xikun Kingdom, and many sculptures were built for her in the country to commemorate her great contribution to Xikun Kingdom.
It is very strange that every generation of Emperor Kun of Xikun Kingdom has a unique personal cultivation, and if the monarchs of other countries judge Ming Jun from the beginning by looking at the level of governing the country, then the status of the monarch of Xikun Kingdom is suppressed purely by his own domineering cultivation.
Take the current generation of Emperor Kun as an example, the cultivation has already reached the standard of top combat power, although he was forced to eat the body of the black-robed saint monarch by the uneven wind at that time, but it cannot be denied that this Emperor Kun's cultivation is real, according to the current point of view, even if all the monarchs of the mainland join together to fight him, the outcome can only be that he wins easily.
The main reason why Xikun Kingdom was selected as one of the five small countries on the mainland was that his population was large enough, and at the peak of his population, it could even be said that the population of Dongxun Kingdom was more than twice the number of people.
With the population, there is also an army, and the fact that Xikun has raised a million troops from the land of one country alone is also real, in addition to this main reason, plus the people of Xikun are not bad, and Emperor Kun's cultivation is also extremely strong, these reasons add up to make Xikun Kingdom among the five small countries, ranking first among the five small countries, if it weren't for the three permanent powers above that are too powerful, it is estimated that Xikun Kingdom would not be just a five-small country long ago.
Compared with the Dongxun Kingdom without a hundred years of war, the Xikun Kingdom has launched a lot of wars in the past few decades, and the coalition forces that have left the country in the south several times, each time the advocate is his Xikun Kingdom, although each time it has to be defeated for various reasons, especially the last time it was directly wiped out by a regiment, but the Xikun Kingdom seems to have nothing to do, how many soldiers were lost in the last battle, and in a blink of an eye, it was supplemented by domestic conscription, the baptism of war after war, among the army of the Xikun Kingdom, The number of those veterans has slowly reached an extremely terrifying number, those veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, but they can be seen everywhere like cabbage in Xikun Country, maybe for a populous country like Xikun Country, even if the 100,000 troops sent out are all folded outside at one time, they will only secretly say a pity, and then they will not hesitate to sign the 100,000 army out again, right?
It is a miracle that the Xikun Kingdom can still live firmly among the countries on the mainland.
This deformed conscription has long caused riots in other countries, but it is commonplace in Xikun Kingdom, the elder brother died in battle, and the younger brother went up without blinking his eyes, and after the younger brother died in battle, the woman also changed into a military uniform instead of her husband to join the army, and over time, the family all died in the war launched by Xikun Kingdom.
The small countries around him can't beat him, and the big countries have only one Nanli, but Nanli is deeply mired in the quagmire of imperial power struggle, and he doesn't have the extra heart to fight such an incredible country.
On more than one occasion, the monarchs of all countries thought that the people of Xikun Kingdom were all poured with ecstasy soup, and they only knew how to obey the orders issued by the state, but they did not think about whether this order was correct or not, they were like puppets, and they had no ideas of their own.
Some old men said that this is because the little ghost of the underworld is doing trouble, because at that time, the one of the gods in the five directions escaped a trace of divine soul and needed a large number of human souls to heal his injuries, so he reached an agreement with the king of the underworld to turn this land into a ghost domain, simply put, the people in this land may not be living people, and the guy who is chatting with you is happy may be just a walking corpse without his own soul.
may think that what the old man said is too nonsense, and many people don't think so, after all, if Xikun Kingdom is really the appearance that the old man said, where did they come from so many outstanding talents, such as the black-robed Holy Monarch, aren't they all the top people who were active in the previous era?
Could it be that you want to say that the black-robed Saint Monarch is actually just a walking corpse?
That's, isn't it?
