Although the endless trivial matters are annoying, they cannot be escaped, even if it is only in the face of a war with cold weapons, Lao Luo can only pay 100% patience. In the future, street gangsters will have to prepare a stone slab brick kitchen knife or a steel water pipe throwing stick and the like in advance, not to mention the cold-blooded fight that is about to start with a huge disparity in numbers.

Fortunately, after the run-in and rectification along the way, the overall situation in the camp is not bad, at least Lao Luo will not have any problems if he is not there for ten days and half a month.

"Alk, are you saying that the enemy of Herat is moving?" Lao Luo was in the tent discussing with Gonzhas about the cavalry school, Alg hurriedly walked in from outside the tent, this Visigoth's fast Latin made Lao Luo a little stunned, the integration of sixty or seventy thousand troops is not a simple matter, let alone in this era of such a place.

"Yes, Lord." After resting all day, Alk was now much more energetic, "Four of our men were in Herat to keep an eye on the local garrison camp, and someone had just come back to report that the Ghaznavid Turkmen there had begun to prepare for their departure. ”

"Well, time is still a little short......" Lao Luo whispered, flipped through the map on the table, and found the topographical map between Mashhad and Herat, "Alk, according to your observations, what do you think of the speed of the Ghaznavids' march?" How long does it take to get to Mashhad? ”

"General, the Ghaznavids do not have many horses, many of them ride camels, and most of them have only one mount...... Moreover, their military discipline was very poor, and I estimate that it would take them at least five days to get from Herat to Mashhad, and as for the warriors requisitioned from the tribes, they were even more scattered, and many looked like ordinary herdsmen, no different from the bandits we met on the road. "Having traveled all the way from Athens, Alc is already familiar with the battle points of the entire scout, and when it comes to intelligence, he is naturally full of confidence.

Lao Luo is naturally very familiar with this change in Alke, and this change in the other party is not only the result of gladiator training, but also from his daily guidance. According to Alk's predictions, the combat strength of the Ghaznavids was not really good, and the main thing was to rely on the multiplicity to win, and Lao Luo calculated in his heart while moving his finger around the map, the main focus was on Mashhad and Herat.

"What is the environment like here, here now? What about the topography, water sources and population? Lao Luo pointed to the middle ground between Mashhad and Herat.

"There isn't much population there now, and there are only a few small nomadic tribes nearby," Alke replied with ease, looking at the place of Lao Luo's finger, "but the nearby river is the only source of water in the whole area, and wild beasts are often infested at night." ”

Lao Luo refers to the place where there are often wars in later generations, the name is Kariz, the north of Kariz is Torbatjam, and the east is the most famous Hari River in this area, the full name is Rudhhane Hari River, Lao Luo once served in the Western Xinjiang period, it is a famous ethnic conflict zone, he has been to the vicinity many times to carry out missions, although there are many differences between the terrain of this era and later generations, but the general trend is always the same.

"If I'm not mistaken, this will be the only way for the Ghaznavids, at least those elite soldiers of Herat will definitely go here, as long as these eighteen thousand elite soldiers are defeated, we will no longer have to worry about the threat of the Ghaznavids!" Lao Luo pondered for a while and asserted.

"General, didn't you say that there are still fifty or sixty thousand warriors from the rest of the tribes?" Maybe it was because he didn't have a good night's rest, and Gonzas's voice was a little urn-like.

"Don't worry, those fifty or sixty thousand people are just a rabble, and even if there are those who are outstanding in battle, they will not pose any threat to our Lord. When we wipe out the elite soldiers who came from Herat, how can the remaining tens of thousands of people compare with us? "Although there are many enemies, Lao Luo is also a little worried, but at this time, he can't say anything discouraged.

"But......" Gonzhas really didn't know the bottom of his heart, if the enemy was only seven or eight thousand, even if it was only more than ten thousand, he wouldn't care, but now the garrison camp was dragged down by civilians and their families, and the comparison between the number of cavalry schools and the other party was too great.

"Don't worry, Gonzas!" Seeing the somewhat muffled Gonzas, Lao Luo snorted, "Are those Makai prepared for Heraclesma complete?" ”

"It's ready, Lord!" Gonzhas came back to his senses and said with a flushed face, "The previous neck armor cuirass and the recently completed body armor have been completed, and even the leather armor lining has been completed. ”

"I think it's thirty-eight Heracles, and these can wear a full body of horses, and the rest seem to be only a hundred or so that can wear light armor, right?" Lao Luo thought for a while and asked, the matter of armoring the war horse was planned as early as Smyrna, and he had been preparing for it when he arrived in the Sylvan Plain, but because the horse was much more troublesome than the warrior armor, it was not until recently that it was gradually completed.

Heraclisma is also known as Hercules horses, Lao Luo's black cloud type, those big guys with a shoulder height of generally two meters have a very good weight-bearing capacity, and they are used as heavy cavalry charges in this era as unstoppable as the era when tanks were just born. As for other war horses that are slightly inferior in size, there are also excellent ones that can be armored, but in order to maintain the physical strength of the war horse for a long time, only a mixture of leather armor and metal armor can be designed, and it is estimated that it is completely sufficient to assist the charge of Heracles' horse.

"There were thirty-eight Heracles, and one hundred and thirty Alabas and sixty Iberian horses, each of which had been carefully tuned and fully equipped." Gonzhas has been staring at this lately, and he knows the numbers.

"Very well, this time we will mainly use the frontal rush to solve the opponent, Gonzas, this is what you like!" Lao Luo himself liked this way of fighting, but without Ma Kai, the casualties of the soldiers were difficult to control, so the large-scale battles along the way were never used.

"Yes, Lord!" Gonzas's face was a little red, this guy who was accustomed to the fighting in the gladiatorial arena had not faced the enemy head-on for a long time, and even in Dhamgan a while ago, he had not been able to fulfill this wish - he had been overwhelmed by his men.

"Also, has the oil tank I told Stan to transfer to the Cavalry School arrived?" The fire oil canisters had been made in huge quantities as early as the time of Sylvan and had been stored in Lao Luo's space, and only a few hundred were used in the time of Dhamgan, and now they are still the best face killing weapons in the face of a large number of enemies.

"It's here, but it's not distributed yet. However, Lord General, this time the jar seems to be relatively small, will it not be easy to use? "Gonzas, though often a little rude, was by no means careless.

"No problem, this time the fire pot is added, specially for cavalry, you don't have to worry about this." It is indeed added, and it is one of the few that adds white phosphorus and sugar. When he was a mercenary in later generations, Lao Luo didn't dare to say that he was a good demolitionist, but in this era, he was a master weapon.

"General, can you provide some of that kind of thing for us as well?" Next to him, Alker, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke.

"You go to Stan's and bring up to twenty of them, and make sure that they are properly placed and not broken, otherwise you will be in trouble." The scout team also accompanied more than 300 people this time, and although the frontal combat strength was not necessarily comparable to that of the cavalry colonel, flexible operations such as sneak attacks were first-class. Lao Luo has already planned for this, even if Alker doesn't say it, he will arrange it.

"Thank you, Lord, hehe, with such a thing as a fire pot, I guess my scouts will be able to make the Ghaznavids eat something good." Alc's laughter was a little sinister, and it felt a little weird when combined with the white eyeshadow he was wearing on his face right now.

"You......" Lao Luo shook his head helplessly, this guy has been taught repeatedly, his national habits have been deeply rooted, Lao Luo still turned his gaze to the muscular man Bulgarian, "Gonzas, the purpose of this battle is to defeat the courage of the Ghaznavids, so the use of head-to-head confrontation, although the number of enemies is larger, but the weapons in our hands are not to be played with." ”

"Understood, Lord. In fact, with you, we are not afraid of anything! As he said this, Gonzas's face was as gruff as ever.

Of course, Lao Luo knew what the people around him thought, "Okay, don't say these words more, do what you need to do well, you know that all this is nothing big deal." ”

"You" of course refers to Gonzhas and Arke, who were present, as well as Nurralman, who had been writing and drawing, and several former gladiators waiting outside the tent. The expressions of the people were no different, as calm and confident as their leaders.

It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, except for a few special former gladiators who followed Lao Luo, the rest have learned Lao Luo's cold face, talk less and do more, and even when killing, they have become accustomed to being silent, including Gonzas, who used to like to shout during battles.

Because during training, Lao Luo said that shouting does not represent momentum, and silent shock is sometimes more intimidating than loud voices. And this effect is spreading throughout the ranks of the cavalry school.

Whether this kind of impact is good or bad, sometimes Lao Luo is not clear, because the people around him have begun to become silent, and he sometimes feels that there is a lack of people to communicate, but the "woods" around him are more and more tacit with him when fighting, and there is no way to do it.

After being silent for a while, Lao Luo gestured on the map, and his eyes became firm.

"This is it!" Lao Luo's hand slapped on the table and made a muffled sound, "Gonzas, check all the personnel of the cavalry school, each with two horses, and prepare to set off when the moon rises tonight!" Alc, you too, leave thirty people on the main camp to deliver the news, and the rest of the people will act with the cavalry school. ”

"Yes, Lord!" Gonzhas and Ark stood up in full force, and after a military salute in front of Lao Luo, they went back to prepare.
