Chapter 20 Vertical and horizontal, long-distance and close-range attack
In this way, Ying Zihan trained them every day, occasionally busy with other things, and everything was developing rapidly.
At first, Yang Yuan was still confused, but after three months, he found that the previously chaotic Yulin Army had become a well-disciplined elite soldier. The order is forbidden, the ranks are neat, and if you add a baptism of war, it will really become a powerful army.
During this time, Yingzihan's food encountered another crisis, but fortunately, when he ran away from the goblins, he saved a lot of food from suffering. Ying Zihan asked the system for sweet potatoes and potato seeds. Then let Incomb arrange the planting. Then he planted cotton and mulberry trees in the open field, just to the north, and let Wang Jian take good care of them.
Three months have only passed half of the time before the army was formed. But they've trained well. And Hunt's Violet Cavalry Regiment was also replenished, and there were several hundred reserves. When their equipment is finished, they can form a violet cavalry regiment of five hundred people, although the combat effectiveness is not as good as the genuine violet cavalry, but they do not deny the power of the heavy cavalry.
Yang Xixi's Shenji Battalion also had to spare half an hour every day to train bows and arrows. You must know that war is not a contest of who shoots accurately, it is more than who draws the bow more times. In the past, they used straight bows, but Ying Zihan finally made a batch of recurve bows for them to use. These recurve bows are made according to the divine arm bows of the Song Dynasty, with one stone bow and two stone bows, which depends on personal ability.
But Ying Zihan's current series of developments have exhausted the resources of the territory. Iron is gone, and food is only enough to consume. There is not much money. This is also the reason why Ying Zihan grows a series of food crops and cash crops.
Ying Zihan didn't go to train this day, because Yang Yuan was enough to train them these days. Ying Zihan doesn't have to suffer every day, although his physical fitness has increased a lot these days.
Ying Zihan looked at the city that had already been built a little bit, and thought about whether it was time to do something profitable.
Ying Zihan looked at the map and thought about where he could make a profit. He was surrounded by deserts, wastelands, and the domain of a viscount. Ying Zihan saw that they were only 800 people, and he already had the intention to attack them, but he still had to plan carefully.
Just do it, Ying Zihan has grown a lot during this time. He began to plot this, but he hadn't told anyone else yet.
Attacking others first is a manifestation of death, and Ying Zihan doesn't believe that his cheap father and the person who wants him to die don't know. If he dares to fight that Viscount Merlin, I'm afraid he will usher in the army of the Empire.
Being famous is not only a principle in ancient China, but also applies here. Ying Zihan is ready to blame others. There is a principality next to the Viscount of Merlin, although the strength of this principality is not as strong as the Dawn Empire, and at the beginning their army fought bravely, so that some kingdoms did not dare to underestimate it.
Several lords in the north, including Earl Yingzihan, Viscount Merlin, and the other two viscounts were all prejudiced to come here. Because it's so desolate, it's a land of chicken ribs. The food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it, so these people are sent to station.
Although the territory is not small, the population is also quite large. But the land is barren and resources are scarce. So the empire doesn't pay much attention. In particular, there are still a lot of people here with yellow skin. In addition to Ying Zihan's Shacheng territory, the other three lords' territories also have some yellow people, but there are relatively few. And the central and southern parts of the empire had almost no yellow existence.
Ying Zihan's first strategy was to win four territories. Raising 30,000 troops like that can barely support it. also has the capital to compete with the Dawn Empire. However, judging from the information he has gathered recently, it seems that this Heilin Principality has the will to get involved here. They joined forces with the enemies of the Dawn Empire, attacked the rear when the Dawn Empire and other countries went to war, and then took these four territories under their command after the battle.
However, the Dawn Empire is not stupid, and has also stationed heavy troops in the north. So the two sides are facing off for the time being, and what Ying Zihan wants is to get a little benefit like this.
It is said that the elves have been at war with the Duchy of Heilin. Ying Zihan started the idea of the elf.
Ying Zihan didn't hide it from everyone, and directly called everyone to talk.
Ying Zihan is in the upper position, the first place on the left is Ying Zheng, and the back is Ino... The first on the right is Hunter, Yang Yuan, then Yang Xixi, followed by Bai Ling, Yang Jian, Shen Zhen...
It is worth mentioning that in the three-month training, Bai Ling and Yang Jian both began to show their abilities, so Ying Zihan promoted them to 100 generals, and everyone was not unconvinced.
Ying Zihan said: "Everyone, now we have just grown stronger, but the wolf ambition of the Heilin Principality next to us is eyeing the four places to the north of us. So this time, we are here to discuss a countermeasure. Ying Zihan obviously wants to go to others to get benefits, but the righteousness is to condemn others.
Yang Yuan replied first: "My lord, the disparity in strength between our two sides is too great. We only have more than 5,000 soldiers despite our best efforts, but the Principality of Heilin has an army of 100,000. This does not mention the combat effectiveness of both sides..."
Hunter objected: "I think we should do something about it......"
Yingcheng spoke again: "We are short of food, money, iron tools, horses... Not suitable for war. ”
Hunter said: "Then it is more important to feed the war with war." Besides, we can ask for help from the Empire. And the others didn't speak, or
Don't dare to say it.
Ying Zihan saw that they were about to quarrel, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Then you give yourself your advice." ”
Ying Cheng: "We should now keep our heads open and train the army while developing the economy. Then we will form a militia group, and in three years we will have the strength to fight even if they come to invade us. "Of course, the idea of the economy and the militia was told to him by Ying Zihan before, and it is not yet time to start.
Hunter: "Three years later, we'll be three feet tall on the grave. Now it's time for us to unite the empire and the other three lords and defeat them in one fell swoop. So that they will not have the strength to invade us again for several years. ”
Yang Yuan snorted coldly: "Who doesn't know that the empire doesn't want to care about our life or death now." Otherwise, they would have sent troops to attack the Heilin Principality a long time ago, and it would be their turn to be here to show their prestige. ”
Everyone was suddenly quiet, because of Yingzi's cold hair to the north, the Dawn Empire had fallen out with the church. That's why the Church's dog-legged Principality of Heilin sent troops to garrison the frontier. Then the Yinxing Kingdom also wanted to wash away the shame of the defeat of the year.
Although many empires and kingdoms did not like the church, they still did not fall out, and the Dawn Empire can be said to be the first. Because the long-established countries want to get rid of the control of the church over their own country, but the newly established countries worship the church to the extreme. This conflict is that the church finds that it does not have enough control over the Dawn Empire, and then wants the territory of Sand City, and then slowly encroaches on the other three territories, so that if the Dawn Empire wants to rebel in the future, it will be surrounded on three sides.
When everyone was quiet, Bai Ling suddenly said, "I have a suggestion. ”
Ying Zihan "suddenly" became interested and said, "Tell me about it." ”
Bai Ling said: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, I heard that there are often wars between the Heilin Principality and the Elf Clan. So I think we can unite the elves to deal with the Principality of Heilin..."
(Why do you jump a little fast, some plots can't be written, and it feels like the chapter I wrote yesterday is really ugly.) In addition, ask for collections, recommendations, and only when the results are good will there be a recommendation bit. )
