Chapter 263: Pioneer Regiment

The four Luo Cheng brothers lost their interest in shopping, and returned to the barracks in silence all the way.

It didn't take long for Luo Yi to send someone to recruit the four of them.

"How are you going to mess with that wild head if you have nothing to do?"

Po Ye Tou is the surname of the Yuwen family, and Luo Yi is also very jealous of this Po Ye Tou, all because Yu Wenhua and his father Yu Wen Shu has the merit of supporting the dragon to be the son of today, and he is one of the core families of Guanlong, and he was also the head of the army who came out of Wuchuan Town.

"This Yu Wenhua doesn't look at his usual smile, but this person is the most ruthless, greedy and violent. Today you have offended him, no matter what the reason is, you will be okay for the time being, but you must not be careless. I don't think you can continue to stay in Huaiyuan, so you will go north early tomorrow morning and act as a pioneer. ”

At the end, Luo Yi said again, "I think Yu Wenhua may really like Xiaoliu, if Xiaoliu really wants to recognize him as his father-in-law, he will have an unlimited future in the future." ”

Luo Cheng rolled his eyes, "Our brothers don't like to recognize their father!" ”

"Hahaha." Luo Yi laughed and passed, Luo Cheng didn't want to inherit the title of Duke of Xiangyang County and his huge family business, and now Luo Shixin didn't want to recognize Xuanhe's Yu Wenhua as his father-in-law, and he was really a brother.

"Hey, you guys leave tomorrow morning, be careful on your own road, don't rush to the road, go slowly, in short, don't stay here in Huaiyuan, I have to stay here for a few days, and when it is dealt with, I will take the army north to join you." Remember to be careful, this is out of Huaiyuan Town, which is the border, on the west bank of the Liao River, there will also be many Goguryeo people to explore horses and ride. ”

When the brothers left, Luo Yi also specially pulled out a batch of crossbow machines, 300 crossbows, 200 horse crossbows, and 100 winch crossbows.

The range of the crossbow is 300 paces, the range of the horse crossbow is 200 steps, and the range of the winch crossbow is 700 steps.

Of course, this range is actually the farthest range, and the actual effective range will definitely not reach this far, and the lethal range will definitely be much shorter.

However, the winch crossbow is still very powerful, and it is a heavy ranged weapon.

Even if the range of the crossbow and the horse crossbow is closer, if the general enemy charges, he can only shoot two shots, after all, the crossbow takes longer than the bow to draw the string, but the advantage of the crossbow is that it does not require much training, or even too much strength. Again, the strongest lethality of the crossbow lies in the random shooting of arrows, and the crossbowmen fire in a field array, so there is no standing soldier in front of them, and there is no horizontal formation.

For example, a standard field regiment of the Sui army, with 12,000 soldiers, is equipped with 12,000 bows and 2,500 crossbows, and the crossbowmen account for 10% of the total number, and the bow is equipped with 100%.

The winch crossbow is to carry the crossbow on the ballista, and the crossbow gun used is like a spear shaft, a crossbow shoots hundreds of steps, and a crossbow pierces several people.

Not only can it be used to shoot enemies from a distance, but it can even shoot crossbow guns into the city walls to help them fight in battle. This kind of crossbow carried on a car, using a winch crossbow, can hold three to seven crossbow guns at a time, and is automatically wound, which can be called an ancient version of automatic weapons.

However, this kind of crossbow has a large weight and low rate of fire, so it has to be mounted on a special crossbow cart.

Luo Yi gave them a hundred crossbows at a time, which was equivalent to equipping a regiment with a hundred self-propelled guns.

"It seems that this out of Huaihua Town will be really dangerous, otherwise we wouldn't have pulled out such a big killing weapon."

The fourth child touched the crossbow carts and the crossbows on the car, like touching a beautiful girl.

"Although our infantry regiment is said to be an infantry regiment, we have a hundred black light iron cavalry, three hundred light cavalry, six hundred mounted infantry, and a thousand fully equipped foot soldiers, not to mention that there are so many crossbows now, even if there are really eyeless Goguryeo barbarians who dare to come to us, then it is really impossible to ask for it."

In terms of equipment, the wild land of Goguryeo is definitely inferior to the Great Sui in the Central Plains. Even if they fished, hunted, farmed, and rode and shot, the equipment of the Sui army could greatly make up for the shortcomings in this regard. Not to mention anything else, just the Mingguang armor can greatly reduce the riding arrows that these Goguryeo barbarians are proud of, thinking that even the Turkic iron horsemen who crisscrossed the steppe back then had to hit a wall in front of the Mingguang armor with their bows, let alone the Goguryeo barbarians.

Luo Cheng ignored the excitement of the fourth child when he heard the battle, since Luo Yi wanted them to go out of the city to avoid it, it was better to do it first. In front of Yu Wenhua and this kind of top second generation, the Luo Cheng brothers really don't have the slightest confidence.

Heroes don't suffer immediate losses.

The third and fourth always fantasized about stepping on the Liao River, breaking through Pyongyang, and capturing the king of Goguryeo alive, but he didn't want to. In this great battle, even if they had 2,000 men, they were only a small part of the force.

If you're not careful, you may become cannon fodder.

He didn't want to make any achievements, he just thought that he could protect himself as much as possible, and it was best to survive this doomed war, and then it was enough to return to his hometown in Qi County with all his brothers.

Do you really think that a small partial general can change the general trend of history?

A person like Yang Guang, not to mention that he is just a partial general, even if he is the prime minister, it is estimated that he will not be able to change him anything.

finally became a partial general, in this million-strong army, at least he has a little self-protection ability, and now he has got so much equipment, Luo Cheng thought to himself that when he went back, it would be good if he could bring these equipment back together.

The first regiment of 2,000 men and horses is really nothing in Liaodong, but if it is brought back to Qi County, it will be a very good force.

The next day.

Get up on the fourth watch, and cook on the fifth watch.

The sky was slightly bright, and in the camp of the First Army outside Huaiyuan City, Luo Cheng rode a horse, Kan Ling held his flag, and the first regiment of 2,000 soldiers rushed out of the camp.

There were also two regiments of 4,000 men who followed behind, driving many chariots and horses, carrying a lot of ordnance, grain and grass.

Luo Yi stood on a watchtower in the camp, looking at the departing soldiers and horses from afar.

"Since the general takes such a fancy to Luo Cheng so much, why did he let them go north alone? This is 300 miles to Wuli Luo City, all of which are borders, and this mere 2,000 people and horses are just a tempting piece of fat. ”

Lao Wang is a veteran who has followed Luo Yi for many years, he is much older than Luo Yi, and his pale hair seems to be telling the years when he followed the old master of the Luo family to fight in the south and the north.

"I don't believe it, the county is really just letting them hide from Yu Wenhua."

"Don't underestimate that gentleman, that person is not an ordinary gentleman, many people are deceived by his appearance, in fact, ·······" Luo Yi shook his head, but didn't continue.

"General, these sons of Da Lang are really very good, and each of them has a little bit of the demeanor of the old county prince." Lao Wang said, thinking that Luo Rong was just a farmer in Xiangyang back then, but later he also earned the title of county duke with the sword in his hand, and was named his wife and son.

"If a carp wants to turn into a dragon, it has to jump over the dragon gate, and if it can't jump, it will always be a carp, but if it jumps, it will be a dragon." Luo Yi didn't say this in his heart, but he thought that if my sons hadn't died young, I'm afraid they would all be so big now.

The four tigers of the Luo family, he still likes the fifth Luo Cheng the most, and he really wants to accept this Luo Cheng as his heir, but unfortunately this kid has a bit of a bad temper and is not moved at all.

"Give me the order to go down and get ready. Ten days later, I will lead the army north on time, and I will lead the first army to capture Wuliluo. Back then, I lost the title of Duke of our Luo family, and now I want to earn him back with my own hands. ”

However, to whom will this title be passed on in the future?
