Call~

"Why is it so cold today?"

Gongsun Du walked out of the door and moved, and a biting chill came, and he shivered and muttered.

"Huh? Snowmelted? ”

Gongsun Du seemed to have discovered something new and was very surprised. But then it became a matter of course: "Before you know it, it's already March, and it's time for the snow to melt." ”

The snow is not cold, the snow is cold.

Gongsun Du naturally understood this truth, but then he felt a headache.

The snow has melted, which also means that the attack of Xianbei is not far away.

"Someone!"

Because of the cold weather, Gongsun Du did not let his soldiers guard the door day and night, but specially built a small single room not far away, haha, a single room, let them garrison. So use the shouting.

"Lord!"

Needless to say, the reaction speed of the pro-soldier appeared in front of Gongsun Du's eyes almost in the blink of an eye.

Gongsun Du nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead, your captain will call so-and-so." ”

"Yes, my lord."

The movements of the pro-soldiers are very fast, and although Yangyi does not follow Gongsun Du all the time, as the captain of the pro-soldier team, he naturally can't be too far away, so he comes quickly.

Gongsun Du had just finished the preparatory activities, and Yang Yi came to the front.

"My lord."

"Hmm." Gongsun Du nodded and said, "You immediately send people to various cities and ask about their training." ”

"Yes, my lord." Yang Yi finished speaking, but couldn't help but wonder, "Lord, is something wrong?" ”

Gongsun Du glanced at him and said flatly: "Xianbei is coming soon, does it count?" ”

"Uh~" Yang Yi subconsciously replied, "So fast? Isn't this just the beginning of the snow? ”

It's not surprising that the snow has already melted, but when all the snow melts, it's definitely April, and it's still early.

However, Yang Yi saw that Gongsun Du didn't pay attention to his thoughts anymore, and started the strange boxing technique that could be seen basically every day, so he put out his thoughts, and retreated after a salute to arrange for someone to summon him.

With the arrival of the people of Youbeiping, Changli and other counties, the population of each city under the rule of Gongsun Du increased differently.

Among them, Xiangping is the most, which has exceeded 200,000 people, accounting for nearly one-third of the population of the six cities in the two counties of Xuanfu and Liaodong. followed by Gao Guli, who also had nearly 200,000 people, a difference of less than 10,000. The other four cities, there are not many, except for the Liao team, because Gongsun Du started here, the population is a little more, there are eighty or ninety thousand, the other three cities are almost fifty thousand.

The population is large, so that Gongsun Du also has the confidence to resist Xianbei.

Although there is still less than one million, there is still a big gap compared with Xianbei, but it is not less, anyway, it is impossible for Tanshi Huai to let Yanmen and other counties not go, but to do something to him in this remote place!

Of course, Gongsun Du did not relax because of this, but became more vigilant.

The main thing is that I am afraid of capsizing!

For this reason, even if Gongsun Du was advised by Wei You not to be in a hurry, he ignored the nonsense and scolded the reckless army, and ordered to increase the number of conscripts. With an army of nearly 100,000, it is a strong strength!

30,000 in Xiangping, 4,000 in Xinchang, 10,000 in Liao, 25,000 in Gaoguli, 6,000 in Liaoyang, and 5,000 in Houcheng, a total of 80,000 horses. It almost wiped out the young and strong of the six cities, and if they died in a battle, even if they were victorious, what could they do? Will you rely on the old, weak, sick and disabled to block Xianbei's next attack?

It is inevitable that Xianbei will succeed in this big move, and then he will definitely free up his hands to clean up Gongsun Du, not only the second time, but even the third and fourth times, until Gongsun Du perishes.

But is Gongsun Du that stupid?

Naturally not!

These 80,000 horses are not only to resist Xianbei, but also Gongsun Du's idea of subjugating the entire Liaodong in one fell swoop. But don't forget, Dongyu and other cities still have a very large number of people, and if they are taken, it will be a great addition. Because according to the long-planned exploration, Gongsun Du learned that the cities of Dongyu and Zhuzhu combined were about 600,000 people, much more than he imagined. It is almost equal to the six cities that Gongsun Du now controls.

Gongsun Du was not surprised by this, because according to the information found, in addition to these cities, there were not many people who had little contact with the outside world, and there were also the reasons why Liaodong had fallen and people fled here in desperation. There are also Lelang and Belt Fang in the south, I don't know what went wrong a few years ago, but there are many people who have migrated here.

Dongyu, Zhuzhu and other cities are not big cities, they can't accommodate so many people, but the geographical location here is too good, they can't enter the city, they are not too far outside the city to establish a village, and gradually formed a city as the center, the town as the hub, hooking up many villages.

When the time comes, even if you can't take Dongyu and other cities, it will not be bad to bring back the people of these villages and towns.

It's far away, tens of thousands of troops are recruited, and Gongsun Du also has a plan, a plan that he has long wanted to implement.

Whether it is from the experience of his three lifetimes, well, this life has only not been long ago, but he has a great opinion about the troops in the cold weapon period.

In addition to infantry, that is, cavalry, which is also too uncreative.

Great means that the infantry must also divide the archers, and the cavalry must also divide the heavy cavalry.

Oh, and the very famous school knife hand in Romance. But what is the difference between him and the spearman?

For this reason, Gongsun Du decided to train some different, but extremely strong fighting troops.

First, the heavy shield soldiers, equipped with dozens of pounds of heavy shields, and more than ten pounds of broadswords, are mainly defensive and positional warfare. However, at present, the requirements of the heavy shield soldiers are too high, and the problem of equipment is not counted, with the iron ore of Shoushan, as long as the time is enough, even if it is equipped with thousands of heavy shield soldiers, it will not be possible. But the problem is that being able to hold a heavy shield of dozens of catties and carry a big knife of more than ten catties is not something that ordinary people can do, and it must be strengthened.

Therefore, even if Gongsun Du cut his head, he only formed five hundred heavy shield soldiers.

The second, the round shield soldiers, the idea came from the far west, armed with round shields and scimitars. Although this does not require high physical fitness, it is not good if the skill is poor, because because of his characteristics, the round shield soldier is far inferior to the heavy shield soldier, archers, and cavalry in large-scale battles, and it is more small-scale and chaotic battles, and if the skill is not good, the possibility of death is extremely high.

Therefore, the number is not much, and it is even less than the heavy shield soldiers, only two hundred. Due to its characteristics and the small number of them, Gongsun Du included them in the pro-army team.

In this regard, everyone, including Wei You and Xu Rong, agreed. Because of the previous battle, the pro-soldier team was completely lost, and although it was later replenished to a thousand people, the combat effectiveness was not so easy to improve. With these two hundred round shield soldiers who were obviously not weak in combat, they felt that Gongsun Du's safety would be guaranteed.

Third, the light cavalry, which seems to be no different from the cavalry in the past, is actually very different. What Gongsun Du wanted was a cavalry with a high-quality war horse with extremely high speed, plus a light but not low defensive leather armor to match. In order to give full play to the cavalry's other great advantage in addition to charging with huge inertia, that is, cavalry shooting!

The reason why the Mongols were strong for a time in later generations was that their unique cavalry archery was a very important reason.

Therefore, the role of light cavalry is mainly booby traps and sabotage attacks.

However, high-quality war horses are hard to find, and high-quality leather armor is not far behind. This is still the current animal is not a protected animal, you can hunt as much as you want, as long as you have the ability. If not, it's hard!

Originally, Gongsun Du was also worried, but fortunately, with the collective surrender of the original Tuoba tribe, he had hope. But there are only 2,000 people, which is not a lot of them.

Fourth, heavy riding, to be precise, should be called Tiefutu. This great and famous heavy cavalry, if it can be made now, it will not be considered if it can be properly hung and beaten Xianbei.

However, this is even more difficult to find than the heavy shield soldiers.

Without him, it is not enough to have people, but also to have horses, and to have heavy cavalry guns, which have great lethality after being protected by heavy armor.

Therefore, the number is also scarce, only three hundred, which is a little more than the round shield soldiers. But Gongsun Du is not discouraged, after all, if there is a flame, sooner or later there will be a time when it will grow into a sea of fire.
