Chapter 518: The Birth of the Brave Fighting Legion
Mu Sen didn't know why Wang Yong insisted on retaining the commando wing with more than half of the dead and wounded, and after listening to the subordinates who knew about it, he knew that Han Dan'er sacrificed himself to save Wang Yong.
Under Wang Yong's instructions, Mu Sen and his subordinates replanned, and finally broke up and reorganized the two wings, and formed the first 'brave battle' regiment with its own title in the coastal province with almost 10,000 people in the nine combat wings and half of the logistics wing, and the establishment of the army in the coastal province was also changed from the original 5,000 people per regiment to 10,000 per regiment, which was five times the establishment of other imperial legions.
Faced with Chris and others' doubts about the expansion decision, Wang Yong smiled slightly, and then asked Chris: "Why do you think the convention is that each legion has only two thousand wings?"
Chris thought for a moment and said: "According to the standing armies of various countries on the continent and the scale of the war, during the war, the command of 2,000 men in each regiment is more flexible, and in peacetime, each regiment is divided into various places, which can more comprehensively assist the local security maintenance. ”
Wang Yong smiled and said, "It's not to maintain law and order, but to supervise the local area and prevent rebellion and rebellion, right?" Chris smiled slightly and nodded in acquiescence.
Wang Yong said his reasons: "I don't have ambitions, I just want to live in peace, so even if we have that ability in the future, I don't plan to expand my territory." Our soldiers and army are defending the coastal province, and our coastal province is such a big place, there is no need for decentralized supervision. Speaking of flexibility, when needed, we can carry out various combat missions in a wing unit, and the strength, speed and flexibility are no worse than that of a two-thousand-strong legion. ”
Seeing that Wang Yong insisted, Chris and the others didn't say anything, because if it was just to defend the coastal province, Wang Yong's decision would not affect anything, and even if he left the coastal expedition. In fact, there is no disadvantage to the establishment of a 10,000-strong legion, but Chris and the others have become accustomed to the continuation of this kind of composition, so they are a little unaccustomed to it for a while.
After explaining the expansion, Wang Yong asked Chris and Mu Sen with some doubts: "I can understand the addition of officers to strengthen the execution of the troops, but are we in too much of a hurry to reorganize the soldiers' original combat units at this time? The soldiers don't have enough time to adapt." ”
Chris explained: "We are not attacking the enemy in the field, but defending the city, so the proficiency of the soldiers in the formation is not high, and the soldiers are guided by the military flag, maybe it will be a little uncomfortable at first, but it will be fine after a while." It will not affect the overall combat effectiveness of the troops, and we also have time to adapt. ”
Wang Yong was puzzled and asked: "Is there time to adapt? Didn't the wolf head say that he had heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance? The enemy should be almost there, right? Where is the adaptation time?"
Chris said very firmly: "Even if the enemy arrives now, they will definitely not attack immediately, they need to prepare siege equipment, and report and communicate with their superiors, it will take time." Wang Yong looked thoughtful, nodded and turned to leave, without disturbing Mu Sen's work and Chris's thinking.
After Wang Yong left the headquarters, he went straight to the east city wall, and he was still a little uneasy. The plan is to guard the city walls to prevent a surprise attack from the enemy.
When I came to the city gate, I found that the city gate was opened, and Wang Yong was startled. I thought that the enemy was really coming, but when I saw that the soldiers and officers in and out of the city looked leisurely, and they didn't look like they were being attacked, I hurriedly ran over to check what was going on.
The east side of Shenlong Pass. Although there is also a certain slope, there are not many trees on the entire hillside, but a large area of lush grass. It is very suitable for cavalry galloping.
After walking out of the city gate and looking at Wang Yong, he realized that the soldiers were placing their horses in the open space outside the city, creating obstacles for the enemy's cavalry, so that they could not gallop and cruise under the city.
Wang Yong looked at it for a while, and found that the all-iron repulsion horses brought by the logistics department with the Spirit Void Ring were only placed in a row within three hundred meters outside the city wall, enclosing the city wall in a semi-ring, and the farther away was still empty.
Seeing that the soldiers were gathering and preparing to return to the pass, Wang Yong frowned, called the logistics personnel who carried the large-capacity Spirit Void Ring and asked, "How many rejection horses have you brought here, why don't you put more of them?"
The logistics staff replied honestly: "Bring a lot, about 600 more." ”
Each rejection horse is more than three meters long and two meters long, and the design is like a stabbing ball, so that it can defend against the impact of the enemy in all directions, even if it is pushed, it doesn't matter.
Wang Yong counted and saw that there were only about 100 rejecting horses near the city wall, so he pointed to the grass outside the rejecting horse defense line and said, "Go, put two more rows of rejecting horses, each row is fifty meters apart." The logistics staff wanted to say something, but seeing Wang Yong's undoubted face, he sighed, and helplessly beckoned the soldiers to help, adding two layers of rejection according to Wang Yong's request.
An hour later, Wang Yong, who had returned to the castle tower, could already hear the chaotic and numerous sound of horses' hooves in the distance, but there was no trace of the enemy, and the scouts reported that the vanguard of the enemy's cavalry had reached thirty miles east of the pass, and was now collecting the remnants of the fleeing troops in the pass, and the main force of the enemy's own troops was only fifty miles away from the Shenlong Pass, and it would be possible to join their vanguard at about dawn.
The next time is the battle time of the scouts on both sides, because the seashore has a flying monster mount, there is no need to spy on the enemy's movements through the ground, but in order to restrain the enemy scouts from recklessly investigating outside the city because they have no opponents, so, Iron Mask, who is preparing to be ashamed, and a group of black hand members such as Iron Mask made a cameo appearance, and launched a one-sided ambush and massacre with the enemy's scouts in the dark.
Iron Mask and the others did not go out with all their members, leaving most of them to rest, and Shadow Dance and Light Spirit returned to the asphalt Hu base to find the dwarf Robert to rebuild weapons, and Iron Mask only took Hanmei, Youlan, Qingzhu, Ao Ju and Hu Niu out of the Shenlong Pass through the rope ladder, and fought against the scouts of a squadron of the enemy with the strength of six people.
When the first light of dawn appeared on the edge of the sky, Tie Mian took Hanmei, Youlan, Qingzhu, Ao Ju and Hu Niu five people, led more than 30 war horses left nearby by enemy scouts, and returned to Shenlong Pass with a proud face.
When entering the pass, the iron mask with still bruised eyes sat on horseback, waved frequently to the soldiers at the head of the city, and entered the gate of the pass with high spirits in the warm cheers. (To be continued......)
