Chapter 127: Reinforcements Arrive

The werewolf army retreated, although it was not a complete defeat of the werewolves, but the war was generally won, and now that the army had returned, a triumphal celebration was indispensable. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Not to mention the recruits recruited during the war, the original 10,000 soldiers in Songhai City were almost lost after the war.

The White Dragon Legion is three thousand five hundred people.

Among them, the two battalions that remained in Donghe City were guarding the border, and half of them were left.

There are thousands of people in Xihe City, and only Zhao Xiaodao is disabled.

Among the more than 1,000 infantry troops and 500 cavalry led by Zhao Yunqin, there are now 800 cavalry, and all of them are rangers, and the infantry army is less than one battalion, all of which are second-order troops.

The increase in cavalry is not a miscalculation.

After the werewolves retreated, Burton, as the commander of the Two Realms, naturally wanted to go back.

Of the 3,000 cavalry he brought out, most of them were killed or wounded, but the remaining cavalry was improved because of the strength of the talismans, and in the end there were only about 1,000 cavalry left, and the surplus war horses were given to Zhao Yun, so there were 800 rangers.

The Guards Regiment did not fight for long, but lost three hundred men.

The 5,000 men of the Tuntian Regiment suffered the greatest losses, and they almost rushed to the front in the border defense, plus the 3,000 recruits who were replenished in the back, and now there are only more than 4,000 people left.

After the war, the garrison and private soldiers of the two cities were replenished a lot, and some new soldiers were recruited.

After Zhao Yun took the initiative to propose, the White Dragon Legion was stripped of its infantry and only the cavalry troops remained.

There were 3,000 Guards Legion, 5,000 Tuntian Legion, and 3,000 recruits, with a total strength of more than 10,000.

Due to the complete surrender of the three cities, Shaoyang originally wanted to recruit more soldiers, but was dissuaded by Xu Shu.

"Our army is short of equipment, recruiting more infantry troops does not make much sense to improve strength, and the soldiers we currently have are enough to guard the four cities. Instead of spending money and energy on the infantry army, it is better to slowly increase the number of cavalry and ballista troops. ”

Shaoyang pondered for a while, and also felt that it was reasonable, just take this war, the number of werewolves killed by the infantry defending the city is not much more than that of the cavalry attacking the camp.

If there were twenty or thirty thousand cavalry, Shaoyang even felt that he could really defeat the werewolf army.

There are more than 200,000 people in Songhai City, and it is not convenient for tens of thousands of troops to enter the city again, so the celebration was placed outside the city, and in the cheers of the soldiers and the people, Shaoyang announced the soldiers' pensions, most of which were rewarded with Tuntian.

The celebration lasted all day, and the next day it was immediately rebuilt.

Songhai City Craftsman Division, here gathered all the craftsmen of Songhai City and Wilderness City, and now there are many craftsmen in Donghe City, and Jeff's order to mobilize craftsmen has been on the road, and there will be more than 300 craftsmen and thousands of apprentices here in the near future.

The reason why Shaoyang came here is that someone reported that the construction of the ballista has progressed, and in the craftsman division, Shaoyang not only saw a ballista, but also gained a talent.

"Your Highness, this is Master Ma Hun in Donghe City, and it is with his help that our ballista can be completed so quickly. The director of the Craftsman Division introduced a young man to Shaoyang.

At first, Shaoyang thought that he had finally found a good talent from the native humans, but after the supervisor said Ma Hun's name, Shaoyang felt a little familiar, and after confirming with the system, he realized that Ma Hun was also the military general of the Three Kingdoms summoned by himself, and Ma Hun was the military general who was disliked by him before.

"Your Majesty, this ballista needs to be made of high-quality wood, and if there is not enough wood, we can't look at building it. "Ma Hun looks ordinary, perhaps because he has been working for a long time in iron, and his physique is very strong.

"Isn't it okay to be blackwood?" Shaoyang thought that Zhang Fei came from Blackwood City, which is rich in black wood, the material is hard, Songhai City iron ore is insufficient, and most of the shields are made of black wood.

Ma Hun explained: "Although the texture of black wood is hard, it lacks toughness, at least ordinary black wood is not enough to make a ballista, and at least more than 20 years of black wood can be satisfied." ”

"Then try your best to procure, anyway, there are so many blackwood in Blackwood City, there should be a lot of more than twenty years old. Shaoyang said this to the head of the craftsman department.

As the head of the Craftsman Division, his main responsibility is to manage the craftsmen and be responsible for purchasing and preparing the required materials, but at this time, he is a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, it is easy to purchase black wood, but once it is older, especially the black wood that is more than 20 years old, the strict control of Black Wood City is not easy for us to obtain." ”

Shaoyang didn't care and said: "What His Highness wants, will Heimu City still not give face?" ”

In the past, the name of the third prince was useless, but now it is different, especially in the Northern Wilderness.

"Gu now appoints Ma Hun as the supervisor of the Craftsman Division, and Ma Hun will be responsible for the technical affairs of the Craftsman Division in the future. Shaoyang doesn't know anything about the craftsman's technology, but he believes that the Ma Hun produced by the system will definitely live up to expectations.

Later, under the guidance of the supervisor, Shaoyang visited other places slightly, especially in iron smelting, which was particularly concerned about iron ore and could not be measured to build iron preparations, so he should focus on quality improvement.

Shaoyang didn't understand it doesn't mean that he hasn't heard of what coal smelting iron, clay furnace steelmaking, although it is only a few words, but who is Ma Hun?

"Oh no, Your Highness, there's a big army outside the city. "Suddenly, someone came rushing to him.

Shaoyang: "The army, heh, how long have the werewolves been gone, they can be counted as coming." ”

The army that will appear here at this time, except for the reinforcements sent by the Northern Legion to deal with the werewolves, who else can there be?

Knowing who it was, Shaoyang was not in a hurry, and slowly came to the outside of the city.

5,000 cavalry, 50,000 infantry troops, this number, if the werewolf army did not leave, Shaoyang didn't think it could play much of a role in occupying it.

"Your Royal Highness, clean up your camp and let our army settle in. ”

Simon is the commander of this support army, and he doesn't take the three princes of the kingdom seriously at all, and he doesn't have the slightest respect for Shaoyang.

He looked at Songhai City, and found not many traces of war, and was very surprised in his heart, it was right that the werewolf had retreated, but after nearly a month of war, why did Songhai City not seem to have suffered many losses?

And the werewolf heads outside the barracks are piled up, if not 30,000, but also 20,000, which makes Simon drool when he looks at it, this is all military feats.

The more he looked at it, the more his heart became hotter, and Simon had no time to worry about anything else, and secretly wondered how he could take these heads for himself.

"Who are you?" asked Shaoyang as he looked at Simon, who was about to drool.

"This general, Saimen, who belongs to the Northern Legion, has been ordered to come to the aid of the cities against the werewolves. Simon almost didn't speak through his nostrils.

"The werewolf army has retreated, and there is no need for support, and the general can go back to his life. ”

"Whether the werewolf has really retreated still needs to be carefully verified, Your Highness should hurry up and pack up the barracks for us to settle in, there is no need to prepare food and grass, we bring our own, and prepare some wine and meat." ”
