It can be said that a Praetorian Guard is equivalent to one and a half armies, and in the case of this cavalry division alone, although it is only the establishment of a division, a division has five cavalry regiments, and each cavalry regiment has five battalions, that is, 2,500 men, and there is also a baggage regiment. The strength of a cavalry division reached 15,000 men, nearly a third more than that of ordinary divisions.

"Where is Hou Junji?" When Luo Shixin retreated, my eyes fell on Hou Junji.

"The minister is here, I don't know what His Majesty commands?" Hou Junji strode forward and bowed deeply to me.

"I want to take Shudun City and cut off the rear road of the 50,000 Tuyuhun army, if you go, how many soldiers and horses do you need?" I looked at this guy and said lightly. Hearing this, several generals couldn't help but have red eyes, and glared at Hou Junji, who was also stunned, viciously.

Hou Junji grinned, bowed down again, and said very excitedly: "Your Majesty, if the minister goes, only two thousand people are needed, but at least ten thousand grenades are needed." ”

"Two thousand foot soldiers, a little less." Pei Renji heard what he said, and after a little thought, he whispered to me. "Also, can this person really do it?"

"I believe in him." I nodded and smiled at Bae In-ki. Although Hou Junji is in the General Staff, he is also serving as a staff officer of the Praetorian Guard, and he is not only brave, but also quite wise, which is not only my evaluation of him, but also the Janissaries.

And what he lacks is an opportunity, an opportunity that allows him to stand up and be seen by everyone in the Huaxia Rejuvenation Army.

I thought about it for a moment and made a decision: "I will give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, and in addition, 20,000 grenades, how many days can you stop the enemy at Shudun City?" "There are 20,000 grenades, which is one-third of the total number of grenades brought by this son.

In this campaign, I brought a total of 60,000 grenades, and when I divided the troops with my mother-in-law, such weapons were naturally divided, half of one person, and now, it was lost to Hou Junji two-thirds, which shows my son's expectations for him.

"If it is 5,000 foot soldiers, the minister will definitely be able to stop the enemy until His Majesty whips the army to Shudun City." Dressed in plate armor and lined with heroic appearance, Hou Junji replied loudly.

"Okay, I hope you don't disappoint me, come here, order the sailor to start sending reconnaissance ships immediately, and be sure to know every move of the Tuguhun people along the river. Within two days, 5,000 foot soldiers were to be sent to the outskirts of Shudun City. I nodded, and immediately began to dispatch.

The Tuyuhun people are indeed not the slightest wary, on the bank of the river, except for the daytime, there will be ranger patrols, at night, there is no one on guard at all, perhaps, these guys have thought that they are invincible in the world, and the Huaxia Revival Army is completely a worthless opponent.

The Tuyuhun people are so relaxed and ashamed not to sneak attack Shudun City, I am really sorry for myself, and I am even more sorry for the unlucky 13,000 people in Heyuan County.

A group of heavily armed soldiers walked from the dock to the boats, which had two large round wheels on each side of the hull, and it was these two wheel-like paddles that made the vehicles and ships have speed and agility that other ships could hardly match.

This kind of warship, whether it is in the rivers or the vast oceans, has a great use. In particular, when used as a reconnaissance ship and an air attack ship, it is the most unexpected.

"Your Majesty, the minister will leave first." Hou Junji, who was the commander of this partial division, hurried over and bowed deeply to me.

"Well, go ahead, I hope you don't live up to my trust, these five thousand elite warriors of the Chinese Revival Army, please leave it to you." I stepped forward, helped the young Hou Junji, and solemnly admonished.

"Your Majesty is relieved, and the minister will not let you down." Hou Junji looked so righteous, but his expression still seemed very calm, and he no longer had the joyful and angry appearance of a young man. It seems that the long-term tempering has finally paid off.

Watching Hou Junji stride towards the warship docked on the dock, I couldn't help but slowly exhale the turbidity in my heart, to be honest, although I am very optimistic about Hou Junji, but before the result of the war appears, no one dares to guarantee that it will be the victor in the future.

However, I believe that with their strong armor and sharp weapons, as well as those powerful explosive packs, it is not a problem for these 5,000 elites to take down a small Shudun City, and the only thing that worries me is that if the Tuyuhun people find out in advance that the back road is cut off, then can they rely on the not very strong walls of Shudun City to stop the crazy attack of these Tuyuhun people.

"Your Majesty is worried about Hou Junji, that guy?" Luo Shixin, this buddy squatted behind my ass, heard my exhalation, and couldn't help but say curiously.

"Yes, this guy has been sharpened by me for so long, and he has never brought soldiers and horses, and the first battle is so critical, I am not worried that he will not be able to take Shudun City, but I am worried that he will not be able to hold it." I nodded and voiced my concerns.

You must know that this is the first royal expedition after the founding of the country, and of course I hope to get a hearty victory, rather than a heavy loss.

Ben Gongzi's worries, not only did not meet, but rolled his eyes, with a very speechless expression, seeing Ben Gongzi's vicious eyes, this guy scratched his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that your worries are superfluous, our Huaxia Revival Army is so strong, how can these Tuyuhun barbarians be compared, not to mention that the five thousand foot soldiers are carefully selected elite divisions, all of them are one enemy and ten generations, even if the 50,000 Tuyuhun army attacks with all their strength, it is not easy to take down." ”

"Well, that's right, I just want to see how many catties and taels Hou Junji can have." I nodded, even a mindless person like Luo Shixin can have such views and ideas, it seems that there should indeed be no big problem.

On the first night, more than 50 chariot-like warships transported 2,500 heavily armed foot soldiers to the mountain recess near the river about 50 miles from Shudun City, and were not detected by the Tuyuhun people, and the next night, the second group of 2,500 foot soldiers also arrived at their destination.

At this time, our side sent a regiment of 2,500 Praetorian Cavalry cavalry to intercept and kill those Tuyuhun lone rangers who dared to stay away from the Tuyuhun base camp. In just one day's effort, he killed more than 700 Tuyuhun rangers.

Frightened by the Tuyuhun people, Murong Daxi was furious and sent 5,000 cavalry, intending to kill the cavalry of the Huaxia Revival Army who dared to attack his army.

However, after chasing for two hours, the 5,000 Tuyuhun cavalry caught up with our cavalry, and then the two sides experienced a fierce battle, and in the end, the 5,000 Tuyuhun cavalry threw down more than 1,000 corpses and fled.

On our side, the loss of less than a fifth of the opponent's soldiers and horses, one hundred and eighty-seven killed. An important reason here is that the cavalry of the Chinese Revival Army is all wearing plate chain composite armor, which far surpasses the Tuyuhun cavalry, which is dominated by leather armor, in terms of defensive power.

The opponent's scimitar slashed over, leaving only a bent and white mark on the plate armor that was pressed by the hydraulic heavy hammer, even if it was cut in the gap of the armor, it would be blocked by the light and tough chain mail.

Therefore, those unlucky Tuyuhun cavalrymen would often scream and wield their scimitars and slash down viciously, their eyes would be round in shock, and they would see that the opponent's iron armor was not damaged at all, and sometimes even the scimitar in their own hands would shatter on the opponent's armor.

Then in the screams of despair, he died under the swords of the Praetorian Cavalry of the Huaxia Renaissance Army, and when he opened up the formation to meet the enemy at the beginning, the sudden crossbow bolts alone caused the Tuyuhun cavalry to lose hundreds of people. Sophisticated equipment and hard training have created this Chinese Imperial Praetorian Cavalry Division to be brave and heroic.

2,050 received 5,000 enemies, and not only won the victory, but also captured more than 700 Tuyuhun prisoners of war. Such a record made everyone show their high fighting and full confidence, and the commander of this battle, Luo Shixin, naturally made the first contribution.

Such an encounter was like a slap in the face, which woke up Tuyuhun's coach Murong Daxi. This guy's eyes straightened, and he saw the originally high-spirited Tuyuhun Iron Horse under his command, beating people like a group of lost dogs whose nests were even occupied by wolves, and after hearing the report of those remnants of the defeated generals.

Murong Daxi immediately ordered the whole monarch to assemble, but he was not really stupid, although he gathered a large army, he did not mean to avenge the five thousand cavalry, but just waited for the battle, and sent reconnaissance cavalry again, wanting to find out the military situation on our side.

And I, the news that the emperor of the Chinese Empire is in the barracks, Murong Daxi can see it as long as he has eyes, after all, the royal flag representing the Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire has stood tall in the barracks of the Chinese Empire.

At the same time, they also found out that this brave cavalry was the Praetorian Guard beside me, the Emperor of China, but only one division of the Praetorian Guard was brought. When he learned the news, Murong Daxi breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps in his eyes, the reason why there was such a cavalry on the battlefield.

That's because the army of the Chinese Empire has been defeated in successive battles and has lost too many times, and I, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, in order to boost morale, will send the guards around me to fight, so that the soldiers of the Chinese Revival Army can see that there is still hope for victory.

Therefore, this guy didn't care too much about this kind of intelligence, or that the many previous victories had already carried him away, one victory didn't mean anything, and seven defeats should represent the true level of the Huaxia Renaissance Army.

And for this reason, Murong Daxi, who thought that he had expected what his son thought, made a decision and sent a messenger. A general Tuyuhun brought a letter of war.
