Gould smiled, wiped the blood stains on his armor casually, and said lightly: "Leave these things to me, just draw cavalry from the banner regiment of Yaroke, and you have to personally arrange it with the deputy commander, I don't dare to take care of your soldiers, haha!"

When Yarok heard him say this, he naturally knew that the fat man was deliberately teasing him, and he just smiled bitterly, and then said to Joseph: "Lord Jose, I will arrange this matter, among the soldiers under my command, there should also be those who can ride horses, but it may not be much, after all, they are originally infantry troops."

"This is not in the way, you can draw as much as you can, after all, they are all your soldiers, if the 2,000-person flag regiment is too serious, it will naturally weaken the infantry. Jose pondered for a moment before asking, "What about the casualties on our side?"

When Gould heard this, the excitement on his face lightened a little, and he had a hesitant look.

Instead, Alok shook his head before he said slowly: "We are mainly the main force of the two thousand men of the Second Banner Regiment, and Gould will take your private army as the vanguard. According to the results of the battle afterwards, three people were killed and more than 50 were wounded in the private army of the adults, while in the second banner regimental army, more than 30 people were killed in battle, and no less than 200 people were lightly and seriously wounded. ”

Jose couldn't help frowning, and said with some doubts: "Isn't the other party only one or two hundred people? Why did it cause us such a large number of casualties, and we ambushed and surrounded these guys in advance, under such an advantage, we can also lose so many soldiers?"

Yarok smiled bitterly before shaking his head and saying, "Although the number of the steppe people and the Northwest Army is only one or two hundred, they are all cavalry teams, and they are also quite well-equipped. Especially the grassland people, almost all of them are masters of horses, and it is even more difficult to resist when they break through.

Most of my soldiers are infantry, and although they have the advantage of ambushes, it is difficult for even ten times more infantry to eat an elite cavalry team on the flat terrain of Moxi. Fortunately, my lord's order was to be half surrounded and half loose, and I deliberately did not let the soldiers stop them when they broke through, otherwise I guess our casualties would have been even greater. ”

Yaroo's words made the eagerness that had just been born in Jose's heart quickly calm down, and the steppe people and the Northwest Army easily broke through the encirclement of Yarook's thousands of soldiers with only one or two hundred cavalry troops. Although he deliberately only ordered Alok to bring a thousand troops because he was afraid of exposing the target, this advantage only barely defeated these guys, and even the casualties were much larger than the other party!

It seems that in such an era of cold weapons, the strength of a powerful cavalry is really unparalleled, and what worries José even more is that such a cavalry army, the Northwest Army, has at least tens of thousands of people, if the empire really falls out with the Northwest Army one day, then can this little force under his own command really stop the cavalry corps of the Northwest Army?

This is only the immediate crisis, and what is even more alarming is the grassland people, such a nation that can almost all the people are soldiers, and the army of tigers and wolves that can pull up hundreds of thousands of cavalry to set foot on the border at any time, is indeed the great disaster in the northwest, and the great disaster of the entire Bright Empire! It is not uncommon for backward nomads to exterminate advanced farming peoples, and if the steppe people are left alone, I am afraid that in a few years, another war will break out in the northwest of the empire!

It is no wonder that the Kant master attached so much importance to the northwest, and even named Jose to hold Sadland and not let the steppe people drink the Maturan River. Hmph, once you cross the Turan River Moxi Pass, the rich mountain hinterland of the Bright Empire will be exposed to the iron hooves of the steppe people.

However, what worries Jose even more is that although the two problems of the steppe man and the Northwest Army have not yet reached the level of threatening the Bright Empire, if these two problems break out at the same time, what will happen then? A Northwest Army is still difficult to deal with, let alone the brave and savage steppe cavalry?

However, no matter how critical the situation will be in the future, it is not something that can be considered now, but just now Gould said that he could not command the Yaloque army, which made Jose feel a tense in his heart: Although the fat man's words were a joke, there was a problem in this! Whether it was the Northwest Army or the soldiers in his own Sadland City, it seemed that the Northwest Army had one characteristic, that is, it was seriously personalized!

Whether it is Heru, Ronkedo, or Gould, or Aloke, they all have a group of their own descendants. Like Gould's former Sadrantze anti-garrison, or the Banner Regiment infantry under Aalok's now. Although he is nominally the prefect of Gould and Allocke, if the two of them are not willing to follow their own arrangements, I am afraid that if they go to the army to arrange it themselves, those soldiers will not buy it, right?

This kind of problem is almost very common in the Northwest Army, and the army is even equivalent to the private armed forces of the generals of the unified army in terms of nature! But Joseph knows very well that the appearance of such a situation in the army is a dangerous signal!

He really wants to build an elite army that belongs to him and is loyal to him, but at the same time, he must try to put an end to this situation of only recognizing generals and not leaders. Although he has great trust in Gould and Allocke, if he is now a leader, he can only concentrate power in his own hands, whether it is military and financial affairs.

If Sadland builds his own army in the future, then the change of army discipline and thinking is definitely an important aspect! And he also intends to let Gould lead the cavalry and Allock be in charge of the infantry, not only because they are good at commanding different types of troops, but also because they have a certain sense of decentralization, and they cannot excessively concentrate military power in the hands of a certain general.

Although Jose didn't have such clear thoughts in his heart, these thoughts already unconsciously carried a bit of the thought of a leader......

In the morning of the next day, a notice was posted again in the garrison mansion, which attracted many onlookers in the city, and the small notice board clearly read:

Yesterday morning, the Second Banner Regiment of the County Garrison was conducting a routine exercise in Norma, the county town of Sadland, and accidentally discovered a suspicious caravan on the outskirts of the city.

After fierce fighting, the grass bandits were defeated by our Second Banner Regiment, killing a total of 18 grass bandits, more than 100 escapers, and capturing more than 500 horses. Notice is hereby given to boost the morale of the Second Banner Regiment and all the garrison soldiers and civilians in the county......
