Chapter 426: Support
"I see, Jiang Yang, this suit is so expensive, you won't ask for it for nothing, right?" When Zhou Yue heard this, he couldn't help but joke, Xiao Guanyin really invested in this heavily armed wolf cavalry. Fastest update {Launch}
"How can we, Brother Zhou, do you think we are that kind of people?"
"Okay, this matter is mine, Commander Xiao, you continue, and what is the last key?" Zhou Yue then asked, after seeing the power of these four thousand heavily armed wolf horses, it was necessary for him to have a deeper understanding, if he could, he didn't mind continuing to develop on a large scale.
"Okay, lord, the third key to this heavy cavalry is the terrifying impact, such as shaking the mountains and the sea, the sky and the earth cracking, and with a single face, you can shock the opponent's array to pieces! However, the hoplite cavalry is usually speaking, and only the first charge is the most powerful, especially the large-scale charge, even more so, in this case, it is necessary to have an incomparably powerful wolf head in front of the lead, so as to ensure that the charge is not chaotic, will not be left alone, secondly, it is necessary to talk about the weapons used by the heavy wolf cavalry, if it is a small-scale hoplite cavalry, for example, under 500 people, then the most suitable weapon to use is the heavy cavalry spear, that is, the kind you saw at the beginning, This heavy cavalry lance weighs 120 pounds, and once it charges with all its might, it can easily penetrate dozens or even hundreds of people. â
"However, the control of this heavy cavalry spear is very difficult, not that the master can't control it at all, and this requires the corresponding skills, that is, the cooperation of cavalry charging skills to play to the fullest, so in this camp, those who can be qualified to use heavy cavalry guns are only 1,500 people, and the rest of them are more suitable for using maces, thistles, heavy machetes, etc., and this is also in line with the array formation."
"In this battalion, the four thousand heavily armed wolf cavalry are divided into ten squadrons, each team of four hundred people, of which the specific distribution is as follows, one hundred and fifty people with heavy cavalry guns, two hundred and fifty with other types of weapons, once a full charge is launched, it will never rush up, but in turn, the distance between each squadron is one hundred zhang, the heavy cavalry with a spear in front of the breakthrough, the rear of the person is responsible for consolidation, so that not only can ensure the penetration of the target array, but also ensure the maximum effect of penetration, That's why their weapons and equipment are different. â
"Brilliant! Teachable! Zhou Yue couldn't help but high-five and sighed, "Commander Xiao, after this battle, I plan to continue to expand and reload the Wolf Tooth Battalion, what do you think?" â
"No! Lord, please forgive my subordinates for bluntly saying that our efforts to build these four thousand heavy wolf riders are already the extreme, almost already making the treasury a lot of debts, and the monthly maintenance costs of this heavy wolf rider are also very high, and it is impossible to build more heavy wolf riders, but under the current situation, our taxes for the next month have all been overdrawn, and even the daily construction of the workshop has shrunk by sixty percent. Xiao Guanyin solemnly persuaded.
"So strict?" Zhou Yue was stunned, and then thought about it, indeed, Fang Cai Liu Yue had something to say, but first, she had just been transferred to a quasi-legendary general, she couldn't bear to be disappointed, and secondly, she was in a hurry to fight, and on the eve of the decisive battle with the Mongols, there was no need for her to say it.
It seems that this economy is really a very important thing.
"The lord actually doesn't have to worry too much, we currently have these four thousand heavily armed wolf horses, whether we can beat the Mongols' iron horses, it is not yet certain, but it is no problem to defend the black city within a radius of two hundred miles, and if our black city can be upgraded to three stars, maybe, perhaps, we can improve the specific attributes of the heavy wolf horse, although it cannot be upgraded to a strong storage zĂ i similar to the tiger and leopard riding and the Xuanjia elite horse, but it is no problem to upgrade to be comparable to the iron floating tu of the golden vulture."
"Of course, the best case scenario is that the lord's fame can attract some strange people, in this case, they may have a way to increase the strength of an army." Xiao Guanyin comforted.
"Strange man, maybe?" Zhou Yue shook his head and smiled, sister, his current world reputation is more than a thousand points, and he has won the title of fame, but so far, the people who come to the black city are some lonely ancient refugees, at most a small rich man in the countryside, or a small family of dozens of people, not even a big family, let alone the so-called strange people.
It seems that there is still a long way to go!
Next, Zhou Yue first ordered two hundred scouts with the army to open the way, and launched a search and advance within thirty miles ahead, and then Han Yi's elite light cavalry battalion, the five hundred heavily armed wolf cavalry led by Xiao Bieli as the vanguard, leading ten miles forward, and then the Chinese army led by Zhou Yue, Xiao Guanyin, etc., as for the rear army, it was led by Xia Zhi The elite bow cavalry battalion, and Jiang Yang led the five hundred heavy wolf cavalry to break off, and the mighty and mighty slaughtered to Jinzhou Heicheng.
This time, Zhou Yue specially let Xiao Guanyin command the battle, and he specially pulled the tiger skin to make a big banner, after all, this kind of pure cavalry combat, in addition to knowing how to rush and rush, that is, to rush and rush, professional things, or to professional people, although Xiao Guanyin is not a real commander general, but he is much stronger than Zhou Yue.
The speed of their march is not fast, and there is no need, because they have to know the two military regions in advance, and then the two sides communicate with each other, determine the strategy, and then march together and echo each other, otherwise it will definitely be a very bad thing if they plunge headlong into the tens of thousands of elite Mongol troops.
From the place of departure to Jinzhou Heicheng, it was only about one hundred and fifty miles, Zhou Yue and they traveled for three hours before they arrived at a place thirty miles away from Jinzhou Heicheng, and then dismounted and camped, waiting for the opportunity, at this time, they had already encountered a large number of scouts from the Mongols, very arrogant, like flies, relying on fast horses and accurate archery, two or three miles away, brushing and shooting arrows, although there would be no threat, but it was really disgusting.
According to the scout's report, this Jinzhou Black City has been surrounded by the Mongol army in three layers and three layers outside, and the specific strength has reached nearly 100,000, known as 150,000, led by Temujin's fourth son, Torre, and the momentum is amazing.
As for the defenders in Jinzhou's black city, there are three regular divisions and five reserve divisions of the Jingbei Military Region, plus a large number of militiamen and refugees, with a total of more than 200,000 people, especially there are many bigwigs in the Jingbei Military Region.
This is especially true after the destruction of Chishan Castle.
According to the news from the two major military regions, the Northeast Military Region is currently making every effort to assemble in Tieling Heicheng, preparing to rely on Tieling Heicheng again to fight a protracted war, just as it did when it dealt with the Eight Banners Army, and drag it down stiffly, in this regard, the Northeast Military Region is very advantageous, after all, the number of elites in Tieling Heicheng exceeds 100,000, plus those refugees who are also not weak, and the army that supports from all directions, there is a great chance of victory.
Only the Jingbei Military Region is a little difficult, because their elite has basically spread to Jilin Province, and in a short period of time, they can't be transferred back at all, so they are so anxious to ask Zhou Yue for support!
