CHAPTER XLVI
Wrong, that's not how it was calculated!
This is already a generational difference!
If you outperform the enemy in attack, defense, and even mobility, you will have more tactical options and be able to exert greater power.
If the command is good, it will not be a problem for 30,000 Great Qi dragoons to defeat Ivan Shaki 100,000, or even 200,000 Ivan Shaki dragoons!
And how many dragoons did Ivashaki have?
It's a secret.
However, no matter how you estimate it, it will not exceed 200,000.
The breeding of the black hippopotamus is a secret, but it certainly will not be so easy to bred.
Not to mention, there are still 5,000 cavalry in Daqi. It can even be said that these 5,000 heavenly cavalry don't look at the small number, but the combat effectiveness is definitely not weaker than the 30,000 Great Qi dragoons!
However, quite unexpectedly, the dragoons of Daqi followed the path of Ivan Shaki's heavy cavalry.
However, the 5,000-day cavalry seems to be light cavalry, at least only medium cavalry.
Because the horses under their crotches were not wearing horse armor, and even the cavalry themselves were not equipped with full body armor.
This may seem strange!
Looking at the war horses they are riding, although they are also Pingshan dragon horses, they are all cultivated with the water of life in the Pingshan base.
However, they were not as tall and majestic as the dragoons' horses, not only were they a head shorter, but they also became more narrow and long.
Obviously, the fighting style of the new cavalry of the Sky Cavalry will definitely not be the same as the Dragoon!
Yin Shengzhi had Ivan Shaki's captives taken up.
Several unlucky Ivan Shaki officers were directly pressed to the ground.
They were all unlucky captives who were caught in the border conflict with Daqi.
There were even captives among them, as was the custom of fighting on the continent of Loba.
In general, officers will not be killed, and even more so nobles.
As a rule, nobles and officers were treated with courtesy.
Because the captive country, or relatives, will pay to ransom them.
Originally, these Ivan Shaki people thought that they would be treated like this in Daqi.
Moreover, some time ago, although they were captured, the Daqi people did not embarrass them, which also made them have this illusion more and more.
It wasn't until the first Ivashaki captive was beheaded that the rest of the captives became terrified.
"Stop, what are you barbarians trying to do? I'm a nobleman......"
No one paid any attention to their words, just knocked the captives down one by one and cut off their heads.
There were soldiers, pouring the blood of the enemy on the flags and then on some weapons.
It's called the Sacrificial Flag!
It is a pre-expedition ritual handed down from the oldest antiquity.
This ritual is certainly not just a ritual......
If the hopeful person is watching, he will be able to see the banners and weapons of the army, and after drinking the blood, they will make a whining vibration.
The evil spirit in the army, which was originally calm, suddenly became high-spirited under this stimulation.
It was as if a calm fire burst out all at once, and suddenly there was a momentum of fire, and then it was as if the fire was rising, turning into a fiery dragon and soaring into the air.
"Let's go!"
The long sword pointed north, the men and horses were like dragons, and the most elite and valuable cavalry troops of Daqi headed towards the border.
"The emperor of Ivan Shaki doesn't seem to be awake enough, this time he must be beaten and woken up......
Yin Shengzhi pressed his sword and looked at it, his face cold.
Admittedly, Ivan Shaki's dragoons were very strong.
But the dragoons of Great Qi are even stronger!
Coupled with the 5,000 Heavenly Cavalry, Yin Shengzhi believed that even if the Wuhe cavalry could not completely annihilate Ivan Shaki, they would be able to defeat them.
At that time, it was no longer Ivan Shaki's cavalry that harassed the borders of Daqi.
Rather, the cavalry of the Great Qi will penetrate deep into the borders of Ivan Shaki to harass.
Even responsible for sabotage, attacking the construction of the Evashaki Eastern Railway, so that the possession of the Eastern Railway of Ivan Shaki could not be completed.
The next step was for the Great Qi army to advance and occupy the disputed territories on the border between the two countries, and then gradually advance to swallow up the eastern territory of Ivan Shaki.
Ivan Shaki did not have enough population to fill the eastern territories, while Daqi had a surplus population.
In fact, now feeding more than 500 million people on the scale of Daqi's land has fallen into a situation where there are too many people and too little land.
When Yin Shengzhi was studying abroad, Daqi only had a population of about 400 million.
But with the past 20 years or so, there has been no major turmoil, especially the rapid development of Yin Shengzhi in the past five or six years of his ascension to the throne.
The latest population statistics have shown that Daqi has a population of more than 500 million.
And in the next decade, more than 600 million.
The eastern territory of Ivan Shaki, though cold, is by no means barren.
The land is fertile and minerals are abundant. With more than 5 million kilometers of land, no matter how conservatively estimated, it should not be a problem to resettle about 100 million people.
Of course, all this has to be done by defeating Ivan Shaki first!
A few days later, the Sky Cavalry, who had taken the lead, had already fought a battle with Ivan Shaki's Uzhe cavalry.
In this battle, 2,000 Wuhe cavalry were annihilated, and no casualties were inflicted.
The battle situation is not too brilliant, it can only be said to be a small test.
The most important thing is that in just seven or eight days, the heavenly cavalry actually galloped more than 2,000 kilometers and encountered the enemy cavalry.
This may seem like an inconspicuous statistic, but it is extremely dazzling, and this speed is too fast.
It would take at least two months of marching for traditional infantry to reach that far.
And this can already be considered a strong army!
Even for ordinary cavalry, it will take at least more than a month.
It took only seven or eight days for the cavalry to arrive, and they were able to continue fighting without any rest.
That's an incredible speed!
What's even more terrifying is that in the next few days, every day, one or two Wuhe cavalry that penetrated deep into the territory of Daqi were wiped out.
In just three days, the Wuhe cavalry that was wiped out has exceeded 10,000.
It was not until this time that the commander of the Wuhe cavalry realized that something was wrong, and he no longer dared to send a small team of cavalry into the Great Qi country.
However, no one could have imagined that on the night of the fifth day, the heavenly cavalry actually quietly crossed the Wuhe River and attacked the headquarters of the Wuhe cavalry under heavy guard.
The commander of the Wuhe cavalry was killed in battle, and a large number of officers and staff officers were captured.
The entire Wuhe cavalry was leaderless and encountered a merciless attack by the heavenly cavalry.
Everything seems to be a repeat of the first battle of divine punishment.
At that time, the Ivan Shaki army, which had gone through the Shenwu Revolution, with the power of mages and stormtroopers, defeated the million-strong army of the Great Qi expedition to the Northern Desert in a sneak attack.
At that time, Ivan Shaki had no more than a corps of about 50,000 men.
