Turbulent Times Chapter 1565: Li Shimin’s cottage production base

After a brief rest, Luo Shixin led nearly 20,000 cavalry from the Whirlwind Battalion to the aid of Wu Si.

Wu Si successfully confused Liu Hongji for half a day. Liu Hongji's deep fear of the Far Eastern Army and his single-minded attitude of seeking stability gave Wu Si more than half a day to build a defensive position.

The ability of the soldiers of the Far East Army to build defensive positions was once again proved.

Under the cover of the fence and tents of the camp, in strict accordance with the requirements of the "Regulations on the Construction of Defense Positions" of the Far Eastern Army Snake Island, trenches were quickly dug in the camp, parapets were built, and stone catapults and catapults were erected. The giant crossbow. Spear, hidden the hundred-shot fast crossbow chariot, the whole army is ready to wait, it depends on when Liu Hongji reacts, and then leads people to attack.

Wu Si led an army of 50,000 horse thieves from the Western Regions and occupied Mayi County for three years. Three years ago, Wang Junlin asked Nie Xiaoyu to transfer some of the instructors she trained on Snake Island to Mayi County. At the same time, Fan Yang The Chamber of Commerce also transported the full set of weapons and equipment of the Fanyang County model to Mayi County through various channels, completed the training and refitting of the Far Eastern Army model, and became the real First Battalion of the Far Eastern Army. Bestowed as the battalion number of Pegasus Camp.

Wu Si led the Pegasus Battalion with 50,000 horses and fought in the harsh and harsh areas of the Western Regions for many years. The combat experience and personal combat ability itself are much better than ordinary soldiers. The only difference is the combat formation and tactics. , with each other.

Now that the shortcomings of the 50,000-strong Pegasus Battalion have been filled, the overall combat effectiveness of the troops under Wu Si's command will not be inferior to those of the Far East Army Battalions such as the Whirlwind Battalion and the Tiger Battalion.

Although Liu Hongji fought conservatively, he was not a fool. He quickly realized that when a large number of sentinels had not come back for a long time, and they never noticed the arrival of Chai Shao's men, Liu Hongji immediately noticed Something was wrong, and thinking of some possibilities, he broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.

"Damn it, the other party's ulterior motives are not about drinking, but the 20,000 cavalry led by Chai Shao who made an appointment with me." Immediately before Liu Hongji's eyes flashed a scene of the whirlwind battalion led by Luo Shixin madly attacking the cavalry led by Chai Shao , although he thinks that Luo Shixin can be transferred right now

The maximum number of troops is 20,000, and Chai Shao also brought 20,000 cavalry, and they are also elite soldiers, but what if the Far Eastern Army still has ambushes!

After all, the Far East Army can come to Luliang County and Xinkou County without anyone noticing from Luliang Mountain, so more reinforcements can come at any time. Who knows how many troops the Far East Army has in Mayi County.

Although Liu Hongji didn't like Chai Shao's handsome face very much, and he was once jealous that he was able to marry Tang Gong Li Yuan's daughter because of his noble background, he would never trip him up on the battlefield. Crouching down without any movement.

However, although Mr. Tang, under the strong suggestion of the second son, has also paid close attention to the training of the county soldiers in the Hedong counties, the combat ability of the 50,000 county soldiers they gathered is indeed no worse than that of the field army.

However, most of the 50,000 horses are infantry. Without the cooperation of enough cavalry, they can only retreat into the camp and fight passively.

Obviously, the two **** Luo Shixin and Wu Si fought each other, so he couldn't wait any longer.

"The whole army is attacking!" After Liu Hongji came to the conclusion, he was a little bit ignorant and became angry. With 50,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, against the 20,000 cavalry in front of him, since the opponent also set up a camp to look like a long-term battle, he still has a certain degree of confidence.

With Liu Hongji's order, the gates of the camp were opened wide, and tens of thousands of troops rushed out, and quickly lined up under the yelling and orders of their respective generals.

In the newly built camp of the Pegasus Battalion of the Far Eastern Army, Wu Si looked at the aggressively approaching enemy troops, laughed dryly, and said, "It's been more than two hours now, and it's earlier than I expected. One point, this Liu Hongji is indeed a leader of the younger generation under Li Yuan, he still has a few brushes!"

The Pegasus Battalion under Wu Si's command has a relatively mixed composition of men and horses. There are the personal troops who followed Wang Junlin when Wang Junlin was a general in the northwest at the beginning, and there are also warriors from various ethnic minorities in the Western Regions, Turkic, Tubo, and Khitan. , Tuyuhun, Uyghurs, Persians, etc., can be described as a hodgepodge of ethnic groups.

Of course, most of these people themselves are famous horse thieves in the Western Regions, and even

Many of them are well-known horse thieves in the Western Regions, and their abilities are not small.

The most famous ones are the eight thief kings known as the eight wolves under his command.

Among them, killing the wolf is the bravest.

Shagger, who is known as "Slaying the Wolf", is a horse thief who used to be in charge of tens of thousands of horses. He has been active in the sandbar area of ​​the Western Regions. It took Wu Si more than half a year to defeat him, and he was captured alive. He used many methods Only then will it be subdued.

At this time, the Shapolang Shager was eager to try, and said: "General, I will lead my wolf cubs to charge!"

Wu Si glanced at him sideways, and said: "We have always used cavalry tactics. Although we have learned infantry tactics, we have never had the opportunity to use them. Now is an opportunity. If the opponent wants to evacuate, We all got on the horses and played them to death by riding. But if the opponent wants to attack our camp, then we will defend according to the camp first, just to let the brothers get familiar with the defensive foot battle. If the defense can't do them, then you will It's not too late to lead your people to charge. So, you just stay aside for now, even if we don't need cavalry to charge when defending, but after Luo Shixin leads the whirlwind battalion to charge, you will charge with your wolf cubs When killing the enemy."

Sha Polang looked depressed, turned around and went back to continue sharpening his knife.

Wu Si's expression was serious at this time. He realized that he might have underestimated the Li Yuan Group or Liu Hongji. Great and excellent.

He even discovered that the opponent's trebuchets, giant guns, and crossbows were somewhat similar to some of the equipment produced by the Far Eastern Army's weapons and equipment production base in Yancheng, Fanyang County.

Wu Si didn't know that Li Shimin searched for skilled craftsmen from all over the world, and even used all means to kidnap or lure some craftsmen and workers from the weaponry production base in Fanyang County or lure them here at high prices. The Yancheng weapons production base in Fanyang County even almost completely adopted the model and system of the Far East Army in Yancheng, and even the institutional mechanism, which greatly improved the status of craftsmen, and the salary was so high that the Li Yuan Group unanimously opposed it.
