Chapter 323: Help Comes
Heading to the Shangrou River Front, it's not too far. Along the way, there was Ban Huachi, the governor who opened the way, and the Chaoge army finally lived an unimpeded life. As soon as Ban Huachi gets out of each checkpoint, the Chaoge army behind him can be released.
Approaching the Shangrou River, you can already see all kinds of teams. They walked on the avenues in teams, hundreds or thousands, escorting grain and grass, patrols, militia, and so on. War horses, chariots, battle flags, everywhere. Even if he was a civilian who had never participated in a war, he could feel the atmosphere of war within a minute of his arrival.
"It seems that it is still not wrong to follow your prison army, and there is no need to check along the way. The soldiers here are in a hurry, and even the pace of walking is much faster than that of ordinary soldiers. β
Ban Huachi said: "Of course, this is still the periphery, and it is not close to the real battlefield. A little further on, you will find out what a price it has cost us to hold the Shangrou River these times. β
I can't say how long the long front is, but the banks of the Shangjo River are occupied by regular troops, militia, and civilians. Fortifications were erected on the banks of the river, and further inside were the soldiers who defended the formation, and an avenue stretched almost along the river Shangjo. Both sides of the avenue are lined with camps.
These camps are inhabited not only by the regular army, but also by many logistical troops. Grain and grass storage, militia, war horse breeding enclosures, huge medical places, and further inward, there are even simple houses, markets, planting plots. There were not too high hills, and those high slopes were occupied by strong logistical troops, who were stationed together. A powerful and terrifying logistical support was formed.
If you look at it from a distance on the other side of the river, it must be a vast expanse, and if it is night, you will definitely see a thousand lights, as if the whole land is an enemy.
Yi Zhengqi was secretly surprised as he led the team forward, the battlefield here was too big. The surging waters of the Shangjo River are lined with huge sailor boats. On the shore, huge bunkers were built, on which could stand two heavy bed crossbows. There are not many of these hidden forts, one is erected every ten meters, and it stretches all the way out, with no end in sight. And the walls of these dark castles have long been tinkered with, and it can be seen that they have been damaged countless times.
Behind the bunker are the walls of a meter or two high, which are provided for the shooters to stand on. Even in the daytime, braziers are lit on it. Rows of archers stood with crossbow arrows in hand. As soon as they spot the orcs on the river, they set their crossbow bolts on fire and shoot rockets.
Not far behind the city walls are moats and deep ditches, on which are either water or mud. This design is to prevent the beast soldiers from attacking and directly impacting. With such a delay zone, the streamers can react. The crossbow arrows relied on by the regular army can also be used to the extreme.
The avenue is straight, and it is estimated to be about fifteen meters wide. The long avenue was lined with soldiers.
Yi Zhengqi exclaimed: "Who built such a road, and who came up with the idea?" Very good. In this way, the battle line of the Kamiyuhe River can be quickly supported wherever it is attacked. Not bad, that's good. β
Ban Huachi was very proud and said, "This is the idea of our Governor Mu. β
Looking at the logistics team on the side of the avenue, Yi Zhengqi sighed secretly: War is about the economy. There is nothing wrong with that. The soldiers in front of them are certainly worthy of singing and crying. But such a large logistics force behind him can be regarded as an unsung hero. It is hundreds of miles, hundreds of miles of territory.
That dense logistics supported one battle after another.
Yi Zhengqi asked: "How many people are there in Shangrouhe?" When our 100,000 Asaga troops entered here, it was as if they had disappeared in an instant. I can't find a sense of existence. β
Ban Huachi sighed: "We don't know how many people there are. Anyway, our Far Eastern Empire has never had a war on such a large scale. It can probably be calculated that the expeditionary force, the first, second, and third snow divisions, their total will not be less than 450,000. We have 300,000 supervising troops, 500,000 senate troops, 500,000 protector troops, and 700,000 security forces, not counting the huge logistics troops, not counting the militias that have swarmed throughout the empire, and not counting the civilians who have produced and paid silently in the back. Now add 100,000 of your Chaoge army. β
Yi Zhengqi swallowed his saliva and said, "Then these soldiers and civilians combined, it must be millions." β
"Hmm. There weren't millions of people on top, and the beast soldiers on the opposite side would have already attacked. On the other side of the Finnish province, there are more than a few million beast soldiers. Oh yes. There are also 100,000 Imperial Guards. In fact, I am only, and the sum of all people is more than 10 million. β
"The Guards are here too?" Yi Zheng said curiously.
Ban Huachi smiled, not knowing what he was laughing at, and said, "Yes." However, Mu Huatu did not come. His 100,000 Imperial Guards didn't know what they were doing. And Mu Huatu took the rest of the soldiers and horses to toss in Renman Province. In the name of pinning down the orc troops. It seems like there are a lot of people, but there aren't so many of them. It is separated by this long river of Shangrou. It's kind of our barrier. β
Of course, Yi Zhengqi knows, but now this is a protracted battle, and it is more than endurance and fresh blood. If everyone is two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and they will be killed in two days, what else will be consumed. As soon as the long front is distributed, these millions of people seem small.
"In short, almost all the forces of the empire are gathered here. I'm not afraid to tell you that Governor Mu almost moved over the two royal artisan cities. β
At this time, a group of troops in front of them rushed to support. When Yi Zhengqi saw this, he immediately called out to stop his Chaoge army and make way for them. The officer on the other side saw it, and although everyone didn't know each other, they also nodded in thanks.
After the long procession passed by, Ban Huachi said, "Your position has been vacated. Let's get your troops stationed first! Hey, it's a bit of a philistine to say it. Originally, because of the location of your army, we ran several times. I can't find a place anywhere. These logistical thorns are also playing tricks, shouting and saying, 'Support is coming, support is coming all day long, where do we have so many advantages in a good place, if we want to be stationed, we will be stationed in the 15th East District.' 'It's a big deal. The place is far away and miscellaneous. There are refugees everywhere. It is estimated that even your Asagaku Army steals every day. Later, you gave this heavy gift. Hum. I don't know who spoke to you. Immediately vacated a good place. Rest assured, now you are stationed in South 6th District. It's all a great place for the regular army. You can sleep soundly. Won't be woken up. β
Yi Zhengqi smiled helplessly, all in order to resist the invasion of the wind, these small difficulties should be overcome by themselves.
Before the Chaoge Army arrived in the South Sixth District, Ban Huachi said: "As a support, you Chaoge Army needs to be registered and organized immediately. At the very least, I want to give you an identity. Now I'll take you to the formalities! You let the troops be stationed first, and you can come along. Rest assured, no one will assassinate you here. Just bring a few guards. β
Yi Zhengqi nodded, and after arranging his team, he followed Ban Huachi. Along the way, there were walking soldiers everywhere, and they wore different costumes. Even at one moment, people have the illusion that this is a military region, not a war zone.
Yi Zhengqi said: "Who is responsible for the daily order in normal times?" β
Ban Huachi smiled, this question seemed simple, but it was to the point, he replied: "The front front is all their own army in charge of their own area. As for the back, such a large area is in charge of the security team. β
"Sheriffs? Will their combat capabilities be able to withstand it? Yi Zhengqi wondered.
"It's hard. After all, it's all the army here, and it's very difficult to have a detachment to manage the army. There are often fights and troublemakers. But now the security team is much better. At least they also changed their equipment, it was not a large-scale disturbance, they were able to hold it. The most troublesome are the militias, some of whom have to go to the front to fight, and some of whom do not like our troops. It won't take long for you to realize the contradictions. Ban Huachi sighed.
Yi Zhengqi laughed: "Experience a ghost." Our Asaka Army is a militia. Their own people do not fight their own people. β
"Haha!"
The two came to the war zone reception. It is easy to collect relevant information, fill in the form, and go through the relevant procedures. These forms are very cumbersome, but necessary. Otherwise, such a large war zone would not have known about your existence at all.
"Excuse me, what's the name of your troops?" The beautiful female officer asked gently.
Yi Zhengqi replied: "Chaoge Army, 100,000 people, the supreme leader, Yi Zhengqi." Here are my documents. We belong to the support forces, the militia. β
The female officer glanced at Yi Zhengqi in surprise and said, "Oh, it turns out that you are the Chaoge Army." And what about your commanders? β
"I am!"
"Ahh
"How?" Yi Zhengqi tilted his head and deliberately leaned closer to ask him.
"It's okay, ahemβ" The female officer blushed and took a step back.
Yi Zheng also paid special attention when he went through the formalities, as mentioned above, the highest commander in the theater here is Mu Zhijing's military division. All militias are called by the Great Army.
The beautiful female officer saw Yi Zhengqi stunned and said in a low voice: "What? What do you think of when you see the beautiful name of our Wood Governor? Hee-hee. β
Yi Zhengqi laughed twice and said, "Your staff here is quite humorous. It seems that the job is easy, but are you still hiring? β
Ban Huachi smiled beside him: "What humor is humor." You tell the outside world that you came to your aid because of Governor Amumer. This incident was spread by the female soldiers, and I got tired of hearing it dozens of times a day. Hurry up. β
Yi Zhengqi had just completed the formalities, and before he walked out of the door, he suddenly heard an urgent whistle outside.
"Support, support. Asking for supportβ"
