Chapter 66: The Expedition
On the morning of the day after the arrival of the letter for reinforcements, the governor's palace of Valen City issued an order to assemble the army, because Moxi had already entered a wartime state, and most of the troops were concentrated in the capital Valen, which also made the troop dispatch extremely flexible.

However, to the surprise of the senior officers, the troops deployed this time were not the superior infantry in various parts of the province, but a few cavalry regiments stationed on the outskirts of Valen. Moreover, the intensity of this dispatch was also very large, almost all of the cavalry regiments of nearly 20,000 people in the province were included, leaving only a standing cavalry regiment of 2,000 people, and the remaining more than 20,000 cavalry were completely reorganized into a reorganized corps.
"The First Cavalry Corps of Moxi Reorganization" is the name of this cavalry, as the first cavalry corps in Moxi Province, the lineup of the First Cavalry Corps can be called gorgeous. In addition to the standing number of more than 20,000, which far exceeds the strength of the "legion", the First Cavalry Army almost contains more than forty percent of the senior officers in Moxi, including two generals at the general level and twelve officers at the commander level!
Moxi has always been located in the western frontier of the empire, and is close to the border of the steppe people and Macedonia, so there are naturally many perennial wars. During the years when Heru was the governor, he fought hundreds of battles large and small because of border troubles such as grassland aliens and horse bandits. The generals who can rise step by step under him are naturally all honed by real swords and guns. It can be said that the name of the Northwest Army, even compared to the most elite Central Army of the empire, is not too much!
The barracks on the western outskirts of Wallen City were crowded, and on the vast school grounds, the First Army was now making the final assembling before setting out for the battle.
"The third regiment of the first cavalry corps of Moxi has been assembled, and all of them are on standby!"
"The Fifth Regiment of the First Cavalry Corps of Moxi has been assembled, and all of them are on standby!"
"The Sixth Regiment of the First Cavalry Corps of Moxi has been assembled, and all of them are on standby!"
"The Third Cavalry Regiment of the First Army of the Central Army has been assembled, and all of them are on standby!"
............
Because Perry's Third Cavalry Regiment is subordinate to the Central Army, in this division of forces in Moxi, in addition to the three corps of the First Cavalry Corps, the direct leadership of the Third Cavalry Regiment of the Central Army is still Perry. After all, in the eyes of many soldiers of the Third Cavalry Regiment, they have always been subordinate to the Central Army, and any rebellion in the northwest is just a routine matter. At most, wait another year and a half, and after the rebellion in the northwest is put down, the Third Cavalry Regiment will definitely be transferred back to the imperial capital.
Several of the slightly more senior commanders knew in their hearts that the so-called support for Moxi was not an ordinary dispatch, and it was only a reason to support the northwest. After all, even if the situation in the northwest is chaotic, troops should be transferred from neighboring provinces, rather than directly sending thousands of central regular troops from a cavalry regiment. The northwest has been in turmoil for a long time, and although the transfer at this moment is not explicitly stated, they can still guess a little bit about the deep meaning of it. Although they are all military generals, after all, they can fight in the Central Army, and they still have these few eyes.
Even so, the struggle for power in the imperial capital is by no means something that a small officer can participate in, as long as he honestly implements the military order, the open and secret battles above will not touch him.
Thinking of this, several officers knew it, and looked at the cavalry regiment of 20,000 people gathered on the school ground, and couldn't help but stand up straight, but their eyes all focused on a few people on the high platform in the distance.
Su Ya, Heru and Perry and others were standing on the high platform of the parade school at the moment, and the total number of 30,000 horses and horses were all Moxi's elite cavalry, and the momentum looked even more spectacular. The northwest is hard, but it is also a good place to train soldiers, Heru looked at these tens of thousands of elite people at the moment, they were all battle-hardened, calm and fierce looks, and his heart suddenly gave birth to a heroic feeling, and even the boredom of many days was swept away!
The empire has such a heroic division, why worry about the northwest!
Even if I, Heru, lose power, I'm afraid that those rats in the imperial capital will not dare to move themselves, after all, I have been running Moxi for 20 years, and my prestige in the northwest cannot be found in the empire to find a second general who can suppress the northwest! This is also the reason why I know that the military department wants to do it to myself, but I am still willing to carry this black cauldron, on the one hand, I can protect Su Ya, on the other hand, before the military department makes a move, it must always weigh its own weight, and will never rashly make any dead moves.
It is a pity that His Majesty Mondevideo IV of the Empire has hardly paid attention to the situation in the northwest since he succeeded to the throne. It is rumored that His Majesty does not seem to care about any military and political affairs, but is very keen on the power struggle with the temple, and the situation in the imperial capital has been quite complicated in the past few years, and it is not unrelated to these rumors, whether true or false.
When Heru thought of this, he also sighed secretly. And for this expedition, he always had a faint worry in his heart: although Moduo City had to be defended, this surprise attack by the Macedonians was not only a little strange, but even the generals of the enemy's army had not yet received accurate information. However, having been at war with Macedonia for many years, Heru also knew something about the strength of several Macedonian generals on the frontier, and he thought that he was just those old opponents.
However, soon, his attention was focused on the school field, and Su Ya, as the supreme commander of this campaign, naturally took on the task of mobilizing the whole army. After the adjutant general on the side signaled the whole army to be ready, she blessed herself with a wind system of voice raising magic, ensuring that her voice could be heard by tens of thousands of people:
"Everyone!"
Although Su Ya's voice was crisp, it maintained this kind of calm confidence and faint majesty: "I! I think you also know the purpose of our expedition this time, so I won't talk nonsense. ā
"I know that many of you here may be my Suya's predecessors, you may have followed my ancestor General Ellios into battle, you may be the rising stars of the Empire, but there is one thing we all have in common!
That is, we have all fought the hardest battles, and we have faced the most cunning and cruel enemies! And as soldiers, we have no choice and no way out, because all this is for our people, our empire!"
"For the Empire!" immediately resounded in the audience with a thunderous echo.
Su Ya was born in a family, and since she was a child, she followed the old duke into the army, and she knows the way to be a general, but there is no pretentious aristocratic style in her words, but she is straightforward, and she has a bit of heroic taste, which is very appetizing to those upright and rough northwest generals. After a generous speech, not only the soldiers were enthusiastic, but even several Moxi generals looked at her with a little more convincing in their eyes.
Seeing it in Helu's eyes, he was naturally a little more satisfied with Su Ya in his heart, and finally reined in his thoughts, looking at the tens of thousands of horses under the black pressure under the stage, like a torrent of steel like dark clouds covering the sun. Looking at the fiery look in the soldier's eyes, Heru finally let out a deep sigh and gave a brief military order:
"The whole army of the First Cavalry Regiment of Moxi is obeying the order! Hurry to the border of Tadamu to resist the Macedonian alien race, and send troops to the northwest, Moduo City!!"

The tribes on the Geerqin grassland are dotted, and most of the stronger tribes live in the grasslands where the water and grass are abundant. For example, at the eastern foot of the Hang Ai Mountains, because the terrain is steep and tall, and there is plenty of water vapor, there are many rivers that originate in the mountains. In the vast grassland, there can be abundant pastures with rivers, and there can be grasslands with cattle and sheep all over the mountains and burly grassland men!
Such a tribe is naturally easy to survive in the cruel competition of the grassland, and the grassland people are all wolves, and even have always followed the most primitive principle of competition, the strong are respected!
Only the strongest and most ruthless people can survive on the grassland, which is a simple and cruel principle of competition, but it is this environment that creates the tenacious and ferocious nature of the grassland people like wolves!
The political system of the steppe people is also very simple, modeled after the system of the Chatai Khanate hundreds of years ago, with seven powerful steppe tribes as a unit, called the "Seven Tent System". The most powerful of them is the "Golden Tent of the Royal Court" of the King of the Prairie King, and the tribal leaders of the other six accounts are all courtiers canonized by the King of the Prairie and are subject to the restrictions of the royal court.
However, with the nature of the steppe people, the succession to the throne is not as legal as that of other kingdoms. Therefore, whenever the throne changes, the Golden Horde of the Prairie King is naturally the strongest force on the Prairie River, but in the history of the Prairie People, there is no lack of precedent that the Golden Horde is weak and other ministries take its place.
Of course, in addition to the powerful Seven Tents, there are more smaller tribes on the grassland, because of the scarcity of numbers or the barren geographical location, they can only rely on the neighboring slightly larger tribes. Moreover, although there are many such tribes, their status is very low, they are either annexed by other tribes, or they are reduced to slavery due to war, and even if they take refuge in larger tribes, they often play the role of cannon fodder in war.
It is not easy to make a living on the grassland, because most people's lives are as worthless as the grass mustard on the grassland.
