Power and Empire Chapter 3066: Dongfeng Lei (2)
Kaishan direction, the Long Family Army has not yet felt the danger from the empire. The cold winter night winds ravaged the withered grass in the mountains, blowing these poor vegetation layer by layer into the sky, and the Long Family soldiers were all in the second half of the night. Entering the tent, only a few sentry remained at their posts, and the dots of fire were extinguished a lot. Several illuminated wind lanterns were hung on the outer sentry tower and several bonfire pots.
"Attention, I'm back to camp" There was a noise in the camp, the closed wooden gate suddenly opened, and the rumbling of horses hoofs approached from far away. More than a hundred southwestern Longjia cavalry entered from outside the camp, causing a cloud of smoke. , The mountain is foggy, even if it’s doing nothing, it’s full of water vapor when you go around outside, especially the night watchmen returning from the outside. All the clothes in the iron armor are soaked in the fog of this cold night. When the wind blows and the cold is biting, the Southwest Dragon’s Army are typical southerners. They belong to a nation in a warm climate. They do not adapt to the tradition of the northern nomads who eat and drink on horseback. Therefore, in the middle of the night, the night patrol cavalry Will return to camp
"Thank God, I finally came back. I thought I was afraid to wait till dawn tonight?"
The figures squatting by the fire near the camp gate, one by one quickly stood up, and ran towards the cavalry that was about to stop. They were wearing fire-branded clothes and no armor. These are the things in the dragon family’s army. Logisticians, they are not strictly speaking the regular soldiers of the Long family, but the debris personnel recruited from the refugees by the Long family.
does not need to go forward to fight, so naturally there is no need to wear armor, even without weapons, their duty is to assist the army in logistics.
An officer of the Long family stopped the horse first, jumped off the horse with a cold look, and handed the reins of the horse to a running logistics veteran, and said, "Old money." Please pay more attention this time. In the past few days, I have spent a lot of time traveling in the mountains. The horses have lost a lot of fat, and the horseshoes are probably worn out a lot. Feed them well and let the King Tiesmith rebuild overnight. The horseshoe is nailed up, otherwise, the adult will give an order tomorrow, and the horse will not be able to leave the camp. Under the military order, it will kill people!"
"Don’t worry, my lord, I can’t miss you"
It was an older logistics soldier with a smile on his face. He was about fifty years old, his hair was white on both temples, and he promised to take the reins of the warhorse. I saw him a few days ago because of delays. In the scene of being executed, this veteran also knew that the officer was kind, so he was not dissatisfied with the reprimand of the young Long family officer at all,
The army is not outside, not to mention that it is still wartime. Under military orders, it is common to kill people every minute. These temporary recruits are also punished for making mistakes, but none of them choose to escape.
"Then go!"
The officer waved his hand impatiently, and he was lucky enough to be recruited by the Long Family.
Although the compensation given by the Long Family is poor, the Long Family Army’s treatment is good. A Long Family soldier can receive half a catty of rations a day, and these logistics soldiers can also receive three to two rations every day. Members can also receive another three or two grains as a reward. This is real grain, not depreciated money after discounting the grain. Now the grain is so expensive that it has long exceeded the price set by the Long Family. If you follow If you limit the price at a discount, you will lose a lot, and in many cases, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food.
This kind of real treatment is only available in the Long Family Army. As long as you save a little province, at least you can get a sip of porridge and soup to drink. More than a million refugees are still stuck. Outside the southwest gate, more than a million people died of starvation in the northwest. They were recruited by the Long Family, at least not to starve to death. As long as they survive this period, when the spring starts tomorrow, they may not be unable to find a way out.
The old logistics soldier, known as the old money head, hurriedly led the horse to the back porch. The manger was covered with a thick layer of forage, and ground beancake was mixed inside. This way The treatment of the old money, the old money can not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, murmured in a low voice
"What kind of world is this, even horses eat better than humans. These expensive war horses purchased from the Western Continent are consumed every day, I am afraid that they will feed tens of thousands of people."
Old Qiantou sighed, his eyes were complicated and his mouth was full of bitterness. His name was Qian Ke. Strictly speaking, he was still a small nobleman living in the Eighth-Rank family near Linhang. Good fortune, clothes and food,
But there is no need to worry about food and clothing. As a result, Linhang was attacked by the Prairie Army in one fell swoop, and the surrounding areas were also beaten into white ground by chaos.
was also the Battle of Linhang. The old man living in the south saw the horses of the prairie people raging and killing people for the first time. In order to avoid the war, the old man took his relatives all the way to turbulence, and almost bumped into it along the way. The bandits, finally found an in-law in the southwestern area to settle down.
But the situation in the southwest is not as good as outsiders think
Qian Keben thought that the Southwest has been surging in the past two years. The Long Family Army deterred the world and hid in the Southwest. There is no need to fear the prairie people, but the actual situation is that the Longjia Yanzhou battle, Patriarch died in battle, tens of thousands of elite were killed and wounded, and vitality was severely injured.
In order to restore vitality in the shortest time, the new owner, Long Po, immediately broke the limit of no more than 300,000 soldiers in the West of the Long Family, and began a large-scale army expansion.
The Southwest Dragon’s Army was in its heyday. With a population of more than 10 million people in the southwest, the Western Army supported at most 170,000, and with some regional auxiliary troops, the total number did not exceed 300,000. Become a new owner, continue to proactively attack externally, and fully recruit internally. The total population of the Southwest is still around tens of millions.
And now, the Long Family Army that heads northward from Guanglinchuan has exceeded 300,000, plus the registered and recruited auxiliary soldiers, the total has reached more than 600,000.
There is no other way. The entire Central and Piazza only saw how the Long Family was invincible, but few people saw it. The elite Western army forged by the Long Family for decades has already been consumed by several wars. , Launched an action battle against the prairie people. Although the prairie people who fought lost their helmets and unarmed, the Long family himself was not thousands, tens of thousands of battle damages, infantry fighting cavalry was originally filled with human lives, and there were so many elite troops, which can withstand the consumption of several times. , So later, the Long Family has already used elite troops as commandos, recruiting civilian soldiers on a large scale to fill the gap in combat effectiveness
The standard for recruiting soldiers in the Long Family was 16 years old and above, 50 years old and below, and they also need to be physically strong young adults
And now, all men under the age of 70 are registered as auxiliary soldiers of the Western Army, and all men under the age of 40 are enlisted and incorporated into the various armies of the Western Army. Even women are responsible for the transportation and transportation of the army. Ready, and old people like Chan Ke will also be recruited as front-line logistics soldiers, and they must also advance and retreat with the same line of combat troops.
The military gap in the southwest is unsolvable. Unless the southwest is completely opened to allow the refugees from the Central and Biya area to influx, the result will inevitably be the entire southwest in turmoil. Long Po chose to lead the main force northward, hoping to be able to move from The Northwest has been supplemented by unexpected soldiers
Otherwise, it will continue to consume like this. Even the Long Family doesn’t know how long it can last in the Southwest. The current Long Family is like a horse-drawn carriage that has been forcibly accelerated. It can only move forward madly. Once the brakes are applied, the result may be a rush. Out of the cliff, fell to pieces!
The night was deep, and no one noticed. A group of black cavalry stopped their horses two miles away from the Kaishan Dragon’s Barracks, and the bloodshot eyes of Muli River swept across the flames in the wilderness of the mountain valley ahead. , Raising his hand, countless black cavalry teams began to gather towards his position
The last quarter moon in the middle of the night is like a bright sickle, illuminating the almost bare ground ahead, and the horseshoes of the horses slam on the small mountain stones, killing them.” With the force of the Muli River Waved his hand, in the shadowy night, the imperial cavalry in black armor was under the water-like moonlight. The sharp lances began to level, and the wind blew over, mixed with the cold fog of the night, and no one spoke, only scratched. When the wind blows, the military flag slaps, and in the billowing mist pushed by the horses, there is a huge shock force that makes people feel staggering.
The rumbling of horseshoes immediately attracted the attention of the police posts outside the camp. A police post opened his eyes and looked forward. The excitement before the killing was completely out of biological instinct. The imperial cavalry chose to tighten their bodies and roll. The forward shock queue, starting from the first hundreds of people, gradually thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, densely covering the earth, like the whole earth rolling forward, like a rushing torrent, appearing at once. In front of this Long Family military police post, the enemy attacked! "The screaming cry sounded,
The dragon’s soldiers ran out of the tent in a panic, and saw that the gate of the camp was directly knocked open by the strong horses, and the front of countless horses were hung with spiked cavalry, like an avalanche
Sudging from the front, the entire camp is like a sieve shot through by countless arrows. Countless cavalry slams on the fence around the camp, like a group of spinning spiked flail. On the thin piece of armor, fragments of the wooden fence splashed out. It was originally a temporary camp, and I would never think of a counterattack one day. The fence outside the camp was just a display, and I heard a crackling sound directly. Countless black armored cavalry fell directly,
"The enemy... the enemy!"
The old money head was frightened by the scene before him. He fell down on the meadow in the stable. He saw countless black cavalry flashing past. The weapons of these attackers were like The light gleaming in the morning dawn is extremely sharp, piercing the armor of the Long Family Night Watchman as if piercing a thin layer of paper,
"Ah" the tragic cry, mixed in the collision of metal and flesh
was almost a face-to-face, a night patrol team in the camp was submerged, swords and swords shadows, flesh and blood flying all over, the fighting was so tragic that the old Qian’s face was pale as paper, and many Long’s soldiers had not yet got up from the tent. They were directly involved by the galloping war horses and turned into a mass of fleshy mud on the ground. Some of the soldiers of the Long Family who had not yet reacted, were shocked to see a trail of black shadows rushing out of the white mist, and they had been sharpened by their opponents. The imperial spears were like lightning. They used their horsepower to pierce them through their bodies, chuckles, a dragon soldier who had not had time to react was pierced on the spot, blood mixed with internal organs poured out from the incision, and the corpse was heavily hit by the horses. It flew out and hit the wooden pillars of the nearby tent,
"slap" the wooden pillar was hit and broke in the middle, and the whole tent collapsed. You can see someone struggling inside.
"My lord, we were attacked!" The anxious voice of an officer of the Long family woke up Long Xueshan who had drunk the night before. Long Xueshan jumped out of the bed with a pair of bloodshot eyes. Lift the saber placed on the head of the bed and walk out,
"What's the hurry, a night attack, did it break the courage of my Long family?"
Longxueshan hasn’t realized the seriousness of the situation. After all, it’s a camp of tens of thousands of troops. Looking around, whoever has the courage nearby is probably caused by the deliberate harassment by Lanzhi City, but when he is angry Chong Chong lifted the curtain of the tent, the scene in front of him almost made him stupid
The sound of horseshoes like thunder in heaven and earth has completely concealed all the sounds between heaven and earth, rows of cold black armor, dark red reflected by the scattered bonfires in the camp, like a row of leaping slaps The tide of iron and steel on the coast, the impact of the camp is scattered ~ IndoMTL.com~ The camp is full of running people, most of them are the soldiers of the Long family who ran out of the tent even in single clothes and without weapons. , Under the squeeze of the black armored cavalry who rushed forward almost in a straight line, they had not run far, either they were hacked to death, or they were trampled to death. The red-brown human blood has stained the ground of the barracks.
For the Long Family soldier who was suddenly awakened, the scene before him was simply a nightmare. The black cavalry and the excellent horses weighed more than half a ton. When the heavy object of this tonnage exceeded the speed per hour Fifty yards of high speed crashed, and the only result of the flesh and blood body was being knocked into the air like a toy, the wind whistling above the head, the sound of horses hoofs neighing in the ears, the blades billowing, and the human limbs flying away, like hurricane black. The cavalry smashed all the living creatures in front of them, and the shining knife light instantly turned into blood light,
"Puff" blood exploded like a mist, half of his body was cut off by a madman-like cavalry, and his face flew out with a surprised expression. The lower body was already engulfed by the horse hooves of the armored war horse,
If it is the real elite of the Long Family, or will organize resistance, but most of these soldiers are recruited civilian soldiers. Where have they really dealt with such a situation, just think that the farther you can run, the better, don’t It is said that the battle is resisted, even the weapons feel too heavy, and a lot of them are directly lost
"Impact, crush them!" The black armored cavalry who attacked in the distance shouted loudly. It was obviously a foreign language that made Long Xueshan shudder, the empire! It's an imperial cavalry! There is no need for any explanation. Cavalry like a flood releases the battlefield, except for the prairie people, it is an empire.
