Chapter 133: The Suppression of Bandits (I)
The first thing to do when sending troops is to concentrate troops. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But at the moment, even such a simple thing doesn't seem to be so easy - the reason is very simple, if the control of the territory is set at a maximum of 100 points, then it turns out that the little Earl Tang can get 90 points by virtue of his prestige - don't expect 100 points out of the full, it is completely a god, the kind that can make people die willingly with just one word.
But now, it would be good for the little Tang Grand Duke to get a passing score of 60.
The reasons are naturally varied, one is because of the sudden increase in territory, originally the Earl of Little Tang only had one county in Desmond, but now the Grand Duke of Little Tang has three counties of North Munster, Ormond and Desmond at the same time, not to mention Dublin and Moe Island, the control area has expanded more than four times, it is like a snake swallowing an elephant, and it is almost dying.
Another is the increase in population, originally Desmond only had a population of 50,000, and it was easy to say that it was managed, but now almost one-third of Ireland is under the direct jurisdiction of the Archduke of Don, and the population has also increased several times.
And we all know that people's hearts are unpredictable!
All sorts of careerists, vagabonds with unrealistic dreams, bandits, robbers, or mercenaries licking blood...... Even, there are the remnants of Prince Dialmat.
Although it was said that Prince Diarmat and his reactionaries were wiped out in the castle of Dukara, there were also thick and thin nets, and there would always be some fish that were not big enough, or lucky enough, to escape, and there would always be two or three of these fish who were not good enough in their brains and had only seven seconds of memory, who would jump out to rebel against the rule of the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang and summon the spirits of their masters, even though their masters were dead.
In addition to this, there was a vast knightly class. Desmond's loyalty to the Grand Duke of the Tang Dynasty is of the same order, but the new 'inheritance' - note that this is inheritance - inherits the land, and thus inherits this chaotic human relationship...... But it's nothing, interpersonal relationships or something, as long as the Duke of Xiao Tang still has a transcendent status, some people come to him.
However, the most lethal thing is that the Grand Duke of Little Tang exiled more than a dozen knights in one go, North Munster and Ormond have experienced several major chaos, and there are few knights, and the exile of Grand Duke Xiao Tang is simply equivalent to expelling the vast majority of knights, and he is making enemies with the entire class!
You're so fucking desperate, you don't have a problem with the brothers opposing your mother, right?
That's pretty much it...... Although the expulsion order has been issued for several days, it has only been carried out better in North Munster (because your army is all here, bastard), like Ormond, there is hardly any movement - no, there is still movement, I heard that even the expelled knights have rushed to Ormond, and many knights with their own armed forces are colluding to prepare against the fuck!
But...... I still have to say that these are nothing.
In terms of high-level, the other three earls have long been coerced and lured by the Duke of Xiao Tang, and they have been obedient and obedient, and now they are all plunging into the fields of their own earls to plant clover, this is a big plan to make money, how can you have time to care about your. On the bottom, I have said before that the Duke of Xiao Tang is simply a savior in the eyes of the peasants...... The followers of the savior, the followers of the savior, are all canonized existences!
Foreign aid is cut off, domestic aid is not, what kind of climate do you think they can have? What's more, these knights were just fighting to the death, like a rabbit being forced into a corner and having to kick the wall twice.
Although it is just doing useless work.
"Folks, we're cracking down on bandits! Do you understand the bandits? The suppression of bandits is to make the life of the villagers better, today the bandits, tomorrow the villagers can travel at will, the children can play alone on the street, and the women can also go to the market alone, which is convenient for everyone's life! ”
The wind and sand were rolling, the horses' hooves were trampling the ground, and in the stunned and panicked mood of the people of Ormond, round after round of cavalry rushed in front of them like the wind, and every half hour there would be a steady stream, and the smoke and dust on the road raised seemed to cover the sky and the sun.
However, in fact, there were only about 200 cavalry in total.
Horses were readily available, and in the dealings with King William, which had lasted for two years, there were already quite so many horses that it was no problem to give each soldier a horse, but there was no one to find enough to ride them.
The average peasant does not know how to ride a horse, and a farmer who can ride a horse does not mean that he can ride a horse to fight. It was not until before that the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang issued the "Regulations on the Administration of Knights" and officially began to recruit all the wandering knights in Western Europe, and the cavalry under his command began to increase.
The current scene is not so much a battle as a drill. These new knights and their servants, each wearing double chain mail, a standard heavy cavalry equipment, and then one person and three horses, constantly running back and forth, to see where their physical limits are, or where the limits of their horses are-with this drill, when the little Tang Grand Duke uses the heavy cavalry again in the future, he will have a number in his heart, so as not to exhaust the heavy cavalry.
The logistics department behind the heavy cavalry, they are all driving carriages, and the only purpose of their existence is to provide logistical assistance to the heavy cavalry, along with loud propaganda, to appease the people.
This time, the cavalry unit was followed by no infantry.
It's rare, it's very rare that this time it's not that the enemy is strong and I'm weak, but that the Duke of Xiao Tang bullies the weak, and this situation doesn't allow me to take a wave? Heavy cavalry charge, heavy cavalry charge, heavy cavalry charge, important things are said three times, so that every normal man will be bloody, I have been through three years, or the first time I can organize a heavy cavalry cluster charge!
Moreover, since the army has now marched to the Duke of Connaught and is preparing to fight with Duke Eddard, the infantry, as the majority of the army, has already begun to advance early, and these cavalry units have been pulled out for training because of the reorganization, grouping, or transfer of commanders.
And now, it's time to take the first combat test.
"The charge of the heavy cavalry, the deterrent power of the heavy cavalry, the combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry, what is the ability of the troops that have been sung for thousands of years...... Let me see it. ”
At that time, following behind the heavy cavalry, watching the heavy cavalry spinning and running back and forth like an armed parade, Xiao Tang Dagong thought silently in his heart, this test is not only about the heavy cavalry, but also about the test of the basic configuration of the army in the future.
