Chapter 162: Gathering Together (I)

Because of the conscription order, Nie Zhen also quickly sent a message to Qin Yu, the content of the letter was very simple, Ye Yixiao, Wei Heng and Chu Ce and the others were slowly gathering their strength, and these people would go to the Western Wilderness with him.

And Qin Yu was also in full swing to prepare, and the conscription order was quickly issued to the nobles of various families in the imperial capital, although the main destination of the conscription order had not yet been said, but some well-informed people had already gotten the news from the palace.

The Western Wilderness and Northern Xinjiang are the closest frontier places to the hinterland of the Central Plains in the vast land of Zhongzhou, and on these two sides, no matter which side loses, it will be Luoyuan City that will be disadvantageous in the end.

So the time on the call-up order was urgent, and only three days were given.

The power of the iron cavalry of the alien race in the Western Wilderness is famous all over the world, and there are also heavy iron horses known as infantry killers hidden in the Western Wilderness, these heavy iron horses are like mobile fortresses on horses, and ordinary weapons cannot cause them a certain amount of damage at all.

And this heavy iron cavalry can kill dozens of infantry with a wave of his hand, and these heavy iron cavalry, which can be called offensive and defensive weapons, have always been the killer weapon of the alien race in the Western Wilderness.

The physique of foreign races outside the territory is often stronger than that of the people of the Great Zhou, because these people live in poor mountains and bad waters, and a good body is the guarantee of survival, so these people can afford to carry heavy iron armor.

Moreover, their mounts are all specially cultivated Warcraft mounts, and a pair of heavy iron armor surrounded the cavalry from head to toe, leaving only a pair of eyes, and the power of the heavy iron horse machine was very poor, but this huge and incomparably lethal power made the Great Zhou soldiers helpless.

The only thing that can restrain this kind of cavalry is the city-breaking crossbow produced by the Ministry of Industry of the Great Zhou, this kind of city-breaking crossbow requires more than a dozen big men in the army to join forces to launch, and a crossbow arrow can destroy a corner of the city, and the lethality can be called terrifying.

It's just that the materials for making this kind of city-breaking crossbow are extremely precious, and some of them are not even available in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so they can only be snatched outside the territory, such as the earth dragon tendon, which is a valuable treasure in armaments.

Therefore, generally speaking, the number of city-breaking crossbows in the legion also represents the combat effectiveness of the legion, as well as the importance that the commander in the army attaches to the legion.

And under the city-breaking crossbow, there is the broken spirit bow, and the broken spirit crossbow, and there is a special army-breaking crossbow, which is a sharp weapon for the decisive battle on the frontal battlefield.

It is also an important indicator to measure the combat effectiveness of the army.

According to the information collected by Qin Yu and the information given to him by Wei Yuan and Chu Ce, the Great Zhou Legion was divided into three levels of legions, and each legion had a commander, which was the so-called general of Pingnan or Pingbei.

Each legion has about 10,000 soldiers, and the legion has three battalions, each battalion has nearly 3,000 soldiers, and then there are five people for one flag, five flags for one general flag, two general flags for one hundred households, and ten hundred households for 1,000 households.

Among them, the heaven-level legion has the highest combat effectiveness, and the defense is generally the most important central city, and in wartime, the heaven-level legion is the main combat power, the prefecture-level legion will defend the second-tier cities, and the human-level legion will defend the border cities.

Under the human level, it is the so-called cannon fodder legion, such a legion, the army's combat effectiveness is extremely poor, and the discipline is also very poor, and it will not participate in drills on weekdays, but on the battlefield, if necessary, they will be the army that charges on the front line, and the main army will use them to consume the combat power of the alien race as much as possible.

And then there will be the echelon charge.

These cannon fodder regiments are often the worst in combat effectiveness and the least valued, and they also have a function, that is, tuntian, these sergeants are soldiers in war and for the people in leisure time, and their main role is to prepare food and salary for the higher regiments.

The Heaven-level Legion is the most combat-effective legion, and the ordinary soldiers from the Legion here will be non-commissioned officers, colonels, and even low-level generals of the lower-level Legion.

Its combat effectiveness and quality are the mainstay of the Great Zhou Army.

In the Western Wilderness, there are only two heaven-level legions, one blood wolf and one wind-tearing.

Only the Heaven-level Legion has such an honor and can have its own unique title, and Qin Yu guessed that the Thirteen Guards stationed in the Imperial City were actually also Heaven-level Legions.

The prefecture-level legion and the human-level legion are said by number, just like the Western Wilderness, from the first army map to the ninth legion, it is the prefecture-level legion, and the lower ranking is the human-level legion, and the heaven-level legion is relative to the military system of the entire Great Zhou.

The prefecture-level legion and human-level legion are ranked according to the combat effectiveness of the local army, such as the first legion in the Western Wilderness, which is a prefecture-level legion in the Western Wilderness, but in northern Xinjiang, in other regions of the Great Zhou, there is also the first legion, but the combat effectiveness will be different depending on the region.

This is the military system of the Great Zhou in the Western Wilderness, after Qin Yu read this, he let out a long breath, unlike Chu Ce's guess, his location has already been chosen, it is Qingyuan City in the Western Wilderness.

It seems that the three ministers of the cabinet have interfered with the implementation of the conscription order this time, because according to the regulations, these conscripts must be allocated combat territory through the Yangwu Marquis and Pingyun Marquis in the Western Wilderness, but now the cabinet has directly parachuted each conscription to various cities.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, according to Nie Zhen's flying pigeon transmission, Ye Yixiao, Wei Heng and Chu Chen were all in Qingyuan City, and Qin Yu was in the Thirteenth Legion, which was also a human-level legion.

The order he received was to be promoted to the hundred households of the Thirteenth Legion of Qingyuan City, and Ye Yixiao and the others became his subordinates, seeing such an appointment, Qin Yu could only be silent.

Since most of the alien races in the Western Wilderness fought on iron horses, Qin Yu relied on the relationship between Wei Yuan and Chu Ce to purchase three hundred broken spirit crossbows, three hundred broken spirit bows, and more than a thousand feather arrows in the household department and the Ministry of Industry.

Dealing with cavalry, crossbowmen are definitely their nemesis, although Qin Yu also wants to use cavalry to form his own cavalry team, but he also knows that he has received a lot of these things, if he wants iron armor and war horses, the old men of the household department and the Ministry of Industry will definitely kill him.

Chen Boyou is not enough, this old housekeeper doesn't know where to get a hundred cavalry and a hundred soldiers, Qin Yu couldn't cry or laugh, he had to explain: "Uncle Chen, the meaning of the conscription order is obvious, we can form a private army, but this ordnance grain and grass are self-raised, I went to the Western Wilderness to fight, this way is thousands of miles, there are hundreds of people's team, not to mention anything else, just grain and grass, we are not enough." ”

Uncle Chen's face was pale, Qin Yu had no choice but to accept the hundred cavalry, as for the hundred infantry soldiers, Qin Yu said that he would not bring anything anymore.

In his hand now, he has three hundred broken spirit bows, three hundred broken spirit crossbows, and a thousand arrows, which is already a lot, and these ordnance materials alone will have at least fifty people to escort them, plus a hundred cavalry and horses, which is a big expense, not counting Wei Heng and Chu Chen, if you count them again, this will be even more.

Seeing that Qin Yu insisted, Uncle Chen couldn't say anything, he could only silently wish that this cavalry of the 100 Iron Blood Guards could be useful.

If Qin Yu knew that the hundred cavalry under him were actually the iron-blooded knights who belonged to the iron-blooded guards of the capital, I don't know if this guy would be dumbfounded.

Xu Chang, the main general of the Iron and Blood Guard, had already taken refuge under the command of Zhaowu Hou when Qin Yu was imprisoned, and over the years, he had been guarding the Iron and Blood Prison, desperately thinking about making meritorious contributions, but if he wanted to make meritorious contributions, he had to help Qin Yu first, so when Chen Bo proposed to him to borrow troops, Xu Chang happily agreed.

In the barracks, such a thing as eating empty salaries does not happen all the time, and there are a hundred fewer people, which is really nothing to the thirteen guards guarding the royal city.

On the third day, outside Luoyuan City, people roared and neighed, in this short period of three days, these conscripts had gathered an army of no less than 10,000 people in Luoyuan City alone, and the object of the conscription order was not only Luoyuan City, but all over the Great Zhou.

From this, we can already see the great power of this conscription order.

Most of these people under Qin Yu were cavalrymen, and the cavalry squad leader was named Wang Meng, who was a taciturn man, and a scar on his face made him a little more angry than others.

Qin Yu wanted to join Chu Chen and the others in his heart, so as soon as he left Luoyuan City, he hurried up.

Wang Meng is a man who licks blood with a knife in the army, and he has always looked down on a rich boy like Qin Yu, but Qin Yu has been sleepless all the way, and it seems that he is going to gallop more than 100 miles and drive directly to Dingjun Mountain!

This man only then had a new understanding of Qin Yu.

Qin Yu's strategy is very simple, this place is still located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, so Qin Yu asked the cavalry of the brigade to be active, and the grain, grass and ordnance followed closely behind, even if he couldn't catch up, it didn't matter, because Qin Yu just wanted to rush to Dingjun Mountain and rest for one night first.

Dingjun Mountain is only more than 100 miles away from Luoyuan City, and by the time it was late at night, this horse team had already arrived at the foot of Dingjun Mountain.

Dingjun Mountain, at the foot of the mountain.

The huge military camp is like a giant beast lurking in ancient times, with its mouth wide open, quietly waiting for the invaders.

There was a sound of horses' hooves, and the whole barracks began to operate like a sophisticated instrument.

The scouts had already been sent out.

Now in this barracks, there are Chu Chen, Wei Heng, Ye Yixiao, and an unexpected woman, Qingmo, who are all waiting anxiously.

Nie Zhen said: "With Qin Yu's speed, if he sets off this morning, if he is the fastest, I'm afraid he will arrive at noon tomorrow, you don't have to worry." ”

Chu Chen was still shouting and screaming, and he said loudly: "General, you don't understand this, this guy is in the imperial capital, but he has left all our good brothers behind."

Now this kid is coming, I'm going to show him the good sergeants under my command, let him open his eyes, don't always look down on people!"

Wei Heng also laughed, "Yes, just let this kid take a look and see our power!"
