Chapter 168: The Five Great Legions of Great Xia! Marching pills
In the next ten days, the battlefields of Yunbo and David completely entered the stage of bloody and hard fighting.
Overall, both the attackers and the defenders who resisted to the death fought extremely hard, and a large number of soldiers were killed and wounded every day.
However, the defender's damage was significantly greater, and their defensive line gradually became shaky, and it was uncertain that it would collapse at any point.
On the first day of August, in the northwest of the imperial capital of Great Xia, the Black Dragon Garden Foundry.
In view of the huge size of the Jinpeng battleship, it is difficult to ensure the secrecy of continuing to build the warship at the headquarters of the Black Dragon Garden, so the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War has set up a new foundry here, and all the relevant facilities and personnel have been relocated here.
In the middle of the foundry, in the eighteen-story attic, more than a dozen figures were staring intently at the dense battleship in front of them, looking excited.
The smallest of those warships was like a medium-sized boat, and the largest was like a mountain, which was extremely spectacular.
Looking at it, the total number of all warships is close to a hundred, and the impact is extremely strong!
"Your Majesty, this is the Jinpeng Battleship?"
Yuwen Chengdu asked loudly, his eyes were extremely hot, as if those were not battleships, but a group of extremely charming beauties.
"Not bad."
Xia Ao smiled lightly and glanced at Guo Jia.
"Guo Shangshu, you can introduce it to the Aiqing."
"Yes!"
Guo Jia bowed his head respectfully, and then smiled kindly at Bai Qi, Wang Jian and other generals.
"Generals, there are currently a total of five blueprints for the Jinpeng battleship, and except for the fifth, the other four have been released."
"The five types of warships correspond to five levels mainly based on size, range, and the attack capability of the battleship itself. The higher the level, the stronger the relevant ability. ”
"Among them, the first one is called the hunting class, which can carry 100 people, is equipped with five Huiying crossbow launchers, and has a maximum range of 10,000 miles."
"The second type is called the cruising class, which can carry 800 people, is equipped with 30 launch mounts, and has a maximum range of 20,000 miles."
"The third type is called the town guard class, which can carry 3,000 people, is equipped with 120 launch blocks, and has a maximum range of 30,000 miles."
"The fourth type is called the expeditionary class, which can carry 10,000 people, is equipped with 300 launch mounts, and has a maximum range of 50,000 miles."
"The fifth type is called the Storm Class, which is designed to have a loading capacity of 100,000 people. However, the Storm-class Jinpeng battleship is still in the exploration stage, and it may not be possible to launch it in a short time. ”
"The distance from north to south is 20,000 li, and the distance from east to west is 35,000 miles. In other words, in terms of voyage alone, even if it is the lowest level of hunting level, starting from my Great Xia, it can go directly to most of the area of Tiannan at one time! ”
"As for speed, the fastest at the moment is the hunting level, and the fastest one hour can fly over three thousand miles, which is equivalent to the limit speed of a ninefold powerhouse in the Spirit Body Realm."
"There is not much difference in the speed of the other four warships, and they are all between 2,000 and 2,200 miles in an hour."
"On the Attack Capabilities of Battleships and the ...... of Defense"
After listening to Guo Jia's introduction, Rao Shibaiqi, Wang Jian and others were used to seeing strong winds and waves, but they couldn't help but gasp.
Because this Jinpeng battleship is too demonic, not to mention the flight altitude that can pass through the top clouds, not to mention its terrifying flight speed and powerful carrying capacity, the aggressiveness of the battleship itself alone is enough to make the enemy frightened!
Especially the Expedition and Guardian tiers!
The power of a Radiant Eagle crossbow arrow is equivalent to the full force of a Void Body Realm Ninefold Master, and there are three hundred Radiant Eagle crossbows on the expeditionary-class battleship, under this round of salvo, what kind of city gates and walls can be blocked?
Moreover, the rate of fire of the Huiying crossbow is only one shot per ten, as long as the Yuan Stone and crossbow arrows carried are enough, an expeditionary-class battleship is enough to raze a Xiongguan to the ground!
"Unbelievable, unbelievable! There is such a terrifying weapon in the world! ”
Cao Chun muttered to himself, his expression extremely shocked.
Even Zhou Ying, who had a dull temperament, couldn't help nodding in agreement at this time.
"With the help of this sharp weapon, it is easy to send troops out of the five directions at the same time and sweep the five major dynasties!"
Wang Jian took a deep breath, stared at Guo Jia with burning eyes, and asked the most critical question.
"Guo Shangshu, dare to ask this Jinpeng battleship, how much do we have?"
"It's all here."
Guo Jia smiled and pointed ahead.
"Ten Hunter-class, fifty Cruiser-class, thirty-two Town-Guard, and two Expedition-class."
"Among them, the Hunting class and the expeditionary class were the latest to be built, so they are the least numerous. Especially the expeditionary class, it is a big gold eater, and if the cost of each ship is said, I am afraid it will scare people to death......"
Wang Jian blinked, and immediately coughed lightly: "The cost, Guo Shangshu doesn't need to talk about it." Anyway, if we use these treasures, we will definitely get feedback far beyond their value! ”
Obviously, Wang Jian was worried that Xia Ao would reduce the number of ships built after hearing that the cost was too great......
In fact, the output of Black Dragon Garden has exceeded the guarantee that Guo Jia made to Xia Ao at the beginning.
Among them, five more ships were built in the Cruiser class and two more ships were built in the Guardian class.
For this result, Xia Ao is naturally satisfied.
"Your Majesty, the Chaos Legion, as the central legion of my Great Xia, shoulders the most important mission. Therefore, the minister suggested that the first two expeditionary-class warships should be allocated to the Chaos Legion. ”
At this time, Bai Qi, who had not made a sound, suddenly opened his mouth.
And as Bai Qi spoke, the rest of the people were also anxious, and Wang Jian turned his head and glared angrily.
"General Bai, you're thinking too beautiful, aren't you? Hum! ”
"Your Majesty, as the legion guarding the east, the Qiqi Legion is about to start a critical battle. As the saying goes, this good steel has to be used on the blade. ”
"So, Your Majesty, the minister requests that these two expeditionary ships be allocated to the Poor Qi Legion first!"
After Wang Qian, Yuwen Chengdu, Meng Tian and others also spoke out, and several people fought for their ears and thick necks.
Xia Ao shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, don't fight."
Hearing Xia Ao speak, everyone immediately shut up, and stared at Xia Ao with burning, expectant and apprehensive eyes.
Three months ago, Xia Ao ordered the adjustment of the military structure of Great Xia, greatly reducing the number of city guards, streamlining the border army, and reorganizing the five major army corps.
The five major legions were Chaos, Qiqi, Gluttony, Hanji, and Bifang, which were responsible for garrisoning the central, eastern, southern, western, and northern parts of Great Xia, respectively.
Each side has 600,000 legions, and a total strength of 3 million!
Among them, the commander of the Chaos Legion is Bai Qi, and the core of the legion is the 200,000 Iron Eagle Warriors under Bai Qi's command.
The commander of the Qiqi Legion is Wang Qian, and the core of the legion is the 200,000 armor-piercing army under Wang Qian.
The commander of the gluttonous army is Yuwen Chengdu, and the core of the army is the 50,000 Xiaoguo army under the command of Yuwen Chengdu.
The commander of the Hanqi Legion is Meng Tian, and the core of the legion is the 100,000 Golden Iron Cavalry under the command of Meng Tian.
The commander of the Bifang Legion is Zhou Ying, and the core of the legion is the 800 trapping camp under Zhou Ying, and the 50,000 tigers and leopards under Cao Chun.
As for Yan Yunqi, at present, like the Tiger Guard, he is incorporated into the forbidden army system together, which is equivalent to the sword guard in front of the emperor.
In addition, after nearly four months of rapid development, the strength of the elite troops has reached a higher level, and the worst have reached the innate triple.
In addition to the regular soldiers of other legions of elite troops, the proportion of congenital realm and above has also reached more than two percent, nearly one percent more than one or five percent of the Qingqiu Dynasty.
There is no doubt that with the current military strength of Great Xia, coupled with the assistance of the Jinpeng battleship, it will be easy to sweep through Tiannan!
The key is whether Xia Ao wants to reduce casualties as much as possible.
……
Xia Ao slowly swept the expectant eyes of the crowd and smiled lightly.
"There is no need to rush, in a few years, all legions will be able to get enough warships."
"As for the moment, if any of the legions feel that they have suffered a loss, they will endure it first. When new warships are built, they will be supplied first. ”
"It's all up to Your Majesty!"
The generals didn't dare to say more, and honestly clenched their fists and expressed their attitudes.
"First, the Hunting-class warship, each legion has its own one. As for the remaining five, assign bad guys and nets for possible secret missions. ”
Hearing the first distribution plan, all the generals were stunned, and Zhao Gao and Yuan Tiangang, who were shrinking in the rear, were also stunned.
But after being stunned, the two were surprised and delighted.
I thought that this sharp weapon would definitely have nothing to do with them, but I didn't expect that Your Majesty would still be thinking about them here!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gao and Yuan Tiangang hurriedly thanked them, but the generals could only look at each other helplessly.
It's a game where wolves have more meat and less meat, but I didn't expect to kill two more meat players in the middle of the road.
Although the size of the Hunting-class battleship is inconspicuous, no one will ignore its existence, and some people have even planned some kind of action.
It's a pity that at the moment, most of their plans are going to be shelved.
After all, there is only one per legion.
"Second, cruise-class warships, ten per legion."
"Third, the town guard-class warships, six of each legion. As for the remaining two, they were allocated to the forbidden army. ”
"Fourth, an expeditionary-class battleship, one each for the Chaos Legion and the Poor Odd Legion."
After listening to the last distribution plan, Bai Qi and Wang Jian both had smiles on their faces, and the other three legion commanders were a little disappointed.
However, this disappointment quickly faded, because even without expeditionary-class warships, each legion could have more than 26,000 elite soldiers at a time.
With more than 20,000 elite soldiers, plus the attack power of the Jinpeng battleship itself, it is basically enough to carry out some covert missions.
In addition, if you really want to send a large number of troops, it is not impossible.
The Jinpeng battleship is extremely fast, and it can fly above the clouds, so it can go back and forth a few more times, and it will naturally be able to project a large enough number of troops to the enemy's rear!
At this time, Bai Qi suddenly asked an important question.
"Your Majesty, according to what Guo Shangshu said, although the interior of the Jinpeng battleship is designed to contain other strategic equipment, the space is limited after all, and I am afraid that it will not be able to reload more than three days of grain."
"Considering this problem, will the actual crew of the battleship drop significantly?"
Xia Ao chuckled lightly and said calmly: "Don't worry, the problem of grain and grass has been solved by Bian Que." ”
Bai was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty means that the marching pill has been successfully developed?"
"Not bad."
Xia Ao bowed his head slightly, and introduced: "The marching pill is the size of a quail egg, and each marching pill can support three days of nutritional consumption. ”
"In the future, each soldier will be given at least ten marching pills before he sets out for battle. As for the supply, it is natural that the transport warships built in the back will also be responsible. ”
"In addition, Bian Que's side is still continuing to study the taste melting of the marching pill with the Dan masters of the Pill Division to meet the taste buds of the soldiers."
After listening to Xia Ao's story, all the generals were overjoyed.
Without the constraints of grain and grass and long supply lines, the Great Xia army will no longer be constrained!
