Chapter 13: Spectating the Battle
On the screen, several modules are rapidly switching, and the multi-purpose processing function makes the CPU peak reach 30% in an instant. The caravan's hides were scanned in a matter of seconds. In the other operation window, the real-time picture displayed is a hundred miles away.
A thousand light armored cavalry was fighting with as many as 5,000 sand thieves, and in the center of the team, a fine sixteen horses and a dozen four-trailer carriages were tightly guarded.
This was the first time Renault had seen Da Chu's regular army, not to mention that it was just a light cavalry unit, under the command of a general in silver armor, bursting out with terrifying combat effectiveness.
In order to protect the central convoy, this silver-armored cavalry general could only divide half of his forces to fight, even if it was only half, he would still kill ten times as many sand thieves. Wherever the light cavalry passed, there were corpses everywhere.
Da Chu's light armor refers to leather armor, mostly made of buffalo leather and rhinoceros skin, and people and horses are wearing armor, and the weight is not light. This light armor is compared with heavy armor. The heavy armor of Da Chu is made of steel armor, which is also armor of men and horses, three times the weight of light armor, and the defense is at least five to eight times higher, which is the strongest cavalry of Great Chu.
Renaud turned and got on his horse, his eyes straight, looking at a screen that no one else would ever see. It soon became clear that among the light cavalry, there was a hundred-man team that was particularly strong, and there was hardly a single enemy wherever it passed.
The analysis module quickly gave the data, and above the head of each cavalryman, a row of numbers appeared. The silver armor general, the physical strength is ninety-nine, the hundred-person general, the physical strength is seventy-one, and the lowest one in the hundred-person team has a strength of thirty-two, this is an all-martial arts team.
In addition to this super strong all-martial arts team, the remaining nine hundred people are much worse, most of the soldiers have a physical strength of nine, only a very small part, reaching ten, and the highest is only in their early thirties.
Compared with this light armored cavalry, the sand thieves on the opposite side could not be seen, the highest was only seventy-nine, and the number of warriors was three hundred and eighteen, and they were very scattered. It can be seen from the performance on the battlefield that the warriors in this sand pirate are all the leaders of one side, but the level of their command can be seen even by a layman like Renault, which is miserable.
Renault felt that he would be in command much better than the sand pirates. Of course, it is not comparable to the silver-armored general, the five hundred-man team under the command of the people, moving smoothly, mercury leaking the ground, Renault, as an outsider, feels pleasing to the eye, this is a general with great command ability.
The problem is that the battlefield a hundred miles away happens to be the Golden Ancient Road, that is, if there is no accident, at this time tomorrow, Renault's convoy should go there.
It is not easy to do business on the golden road, and the ancestors used their lives to point out the easiest and safest route for the younger generations.
Of course, the so-called ease and safety, is relative, out of the Yellow Sand Pass, sand thieves, sand wolves everywhere, this is a blood road paved with life, but also a gold road paved with gold coins, this is the origin of the name of the ancient golden road.
When he first crossed over, he experienced a night attack by a sand wolf, and from that moment on, Renault added a vigilance function to the Fortuna scanning system, a small piece of uncomplicated code. As a resource satellite, the God of Wealth originally did not have this function.
The alert function is very simple, all the horses in the convoy are scanned and imaged, entered into the database, and set to green, which means safety. All those that cannot be matched by the database, with a body length of more than one meter and a weight of more than 30 kilograms, are all set to yellow, and the sand wolf is set to red.
In order not to occupy too much system resources of the God of Wealth, Renault initially set the warning range very small, and with the application of these ten days, Renault found it ridiculous. As a national-level resource satellite, the God of Wealth is far more powerful than Renault's intern imagined, even if the multi-purpose module was used just now, and more than a dozen modules were started at the same time, the system resources only reached 30%, which was still the reason for the instantaneous start, and then the resources occupied quickly fell back to 10%.
Knowing that he underestimated the God of Wealth, Renault continued to increase the weight of the God of Wealth, and since the day before yesterday, the warning range of the God of Wealth has been expanded to a diameter of fifty kilometers. The scanning range and density have also been increased tenfold, and even so, the God of Wealth is still very easy to work.
There is a huge difference between the system resources that need to be mobilized to serve one person and one country. This is also because the God of Wealth is a resource satellite, and try to replace it with a communication satellite, the communication satellite with the worst level of science and technology also has hundreds of thousands, millions of communication channels.
The warning area was expanded again, and the original 50 kilometers were directly expanded by 10 times. As soon as he confirmed it, Renault regretted it, the warning code he compiled was the simplest, so the scanning speed was extremely fast, and in less than a second, the warning sound sounded, which made Renault have a headache.
The lens is pulling up, the screen is shrinking, and the red marked squares soon turn into small red dots, so many that Renault's scalp is numb. The system resource has risen to 65 percent, and it continues to rise.
The most conspicuous thing is that one hundred and fifty kilometers away, countless red dots form a thick red line, moving from west to east, without looking at the data on the screen, just by that thick line, Renault thinks that there are at least a million numbers.
His gaze swept over the right side of the screen, three million seven hundred and eighty-nine thousand six hundred and forty-two, this number was still rising rapidly, exceeding four million in the blink of an eye, and the speed of rise did not decrease at all.
What kind of play, the number can exceed four million, less than ten seconds, more than five million, and there is still no intention of stopping.
With this thick red line, the other red dots in the warning range made Renault turn a blind eye, and those little red dots were not farts compared to the red line.
Stretching the lens, Renault had to know what it was. By the time the data exceeded seven million, Renault was no longer too worried, and it was clear that it could not be the army.
Sure enough, when the camera zoomed closer to the ground, it was an endless herd of cattle. Renault couldn't see what kind of cow it was, it was different from any other cow on the planet, but on the whole, it was a cow. It has a huge body, three sharp horns on the top of its head, four hooves the size of a sea bowl, a height of one meter seven at the shoulder, and a body length of three meters.
Big guys, each one is a big guy, fortunately, from their size, it is not difficult to judge that these guys are grass-eating, as long as they are not carnivorous, it is not worth worrying about.
Take a photo and enter it, name it the desert cow, and set the creature to a yellow alert level. Later, Renault would be wary of any creature he didn't know, no matter how they looked like herbivores.
The data has been increasing until thirteen million years later, and it has slowed down, and the data is still changing, and there are still desert cattle entering the 500-kilometer range set by Renault.
Renaud is a person who has seen the animal world, and the herd of cattle on the screen makes him instantly think of the migration of the cows, and only the migration can see such a spectacular scene.
The herd turned yellow, the map looked much more pleasing to the eye, in addition to the battlefield a hundred miles away, there were a few red dots, the number was in thousands, less than this number, Renault was too lazy to look at it for the time being.
The sand bandits, sand bandits again, this army of more than six thousand people were marching, fifty miles from the herd, from west to east, towards the battlefield where the Silver Armor General was.
After scanning the flags, a few seconds later, the data shows that there are eight different flags in the two sand pirates. The sand pirates on the battlefield have four flags identical to those approaching. There is no doubt that this 6,400-strong sand thief is here to support.
Renault cut out two windows to show the battlefield and the sand thieves who came to support him, and he couldn't figure it out. Even if there are many sand pirates, there is no reason to attack the regular army.
Renault has no military talent, and he doesn't even have a military vision, even if his knowledge is poor, he can see that if the 1,000 lightly armored cavalry lets go of fighting, more than 10,000 sand thieves are really not enough to see.
Zooming in on the battlefield and looking at the tightly guarded sixteen-horse luxury cars, it is clear that the problem lies in these cars. Renault knew too little about Da Chu's rules to see what these cars represented. However, he would guess that this car is obviously not loaded with supplies, it is so luxurious, it should be pulling people.
A thousand light armored cavalry, facing five times the enemy, also have to divide half to protect the luxury car, so that the other half of the people fight with one as ten, which shows that the people in the car are very, very important.
There are only a dozen cars, and obviously they can't hold much cargo, and even if they are all gold, the sand thieves may not be willing to fight hard.
There's a conspiracy!
Renault is not very good at intrigues, after all, he lives in an ivory tower, and he doesn't have much opportunity to experience. Fortunately, there are enough novels, film and television dramas, and I have watched a lot, and Renault is very smart, and under the few known conditions, he quickly judged the results.
A regular army of 1,000 people protects important people to go to Dingjun City, or pass through Dingjun City. The frantic attacks of the sand thieves were scattered again and again, and they refused to retreat with heavy casualties, and dozens of miles away, there were 6,000 sand thieves to support.
Quickly operate the central computer, set the path conditions, and four more dotted lines appear in an instant. With the addition of the previous 6,000 reinforcements, there were less than 5,000 sand thieves on the battlefield, and the number of six sand pirate teams was as high as more than 27,000.
That's a scary number!
The light cavalry is indeed powerful, but when the number of sand thieves reaches nearly thirty times, even if they are tired, they can exhaust these thousand cavalry to death, and they don't even need to attack, as long as they keep harassing day and night, seize the opportunity to bite hard, and it doesn't take much to wipe out this cavalry in five days.
Even Renault, a layman, can think of a way, he doesn't believe that among the nearly 30,000 sand thieves, there is no one who understands, and in terms of quantity, this light cavalry is dead.
Unless they can give up a dozen carts and ensure their mobility, they can turn defeat into victory and eliminate 30,000 sand thieves in the movement.
Even if you don't understand sports warfare, Renault has at least heard of it, and it's in textbooks.
