Iron Dynasty

Chapter 792: Majestic and arrogant

A cool north wind whizzed past the head of Shanhaiguan. E┡ Novel WwㄟW. Ω1XIAOSHUO. COM

Xiao Ming and Niu Ben and a group of generals stood at the head of Shanhaiguan and looked at the vast grassland in front of them. In the days to come, the Great Yu Kingdom will have a war with the barbarians to determine the fortune of the country.

Unlike contemporary haze-filled environments, the vision of this era is extremely clear, leading to a place that Xiao Ming can see through the telescope.

"The emperor, this is a plan negotiated by ministers and others."

Lu Fei told Xiao Ming about the marching strategy he discussed with Luo Xin and Lei Ming a few days ago.

Turning around, Xiao Ming looked at the dozens of generals behind him, and said: "It took too long to build Wubao, and the preparation of materials is quite cumbersome. This time I have assembled all the tanks and sent them to the tanks. You can rely on the battle. Every twenty miles, the car builds an interdependent chariot bastion, which is much more flexible than Uborg.

Lu Fei glanced at the densely packed tanks outside Shanhaiguan. These years, the country of Da Yu has been manufacturing tanks, and now there are 1,800 tanks.

On weekdays, in addition to their normal training, they will also exercise with chariots and encounter barbarian cavalry.

Niu Ben said: "Using the tank as a stronghold, you can attack or defend, and you can quickly evacuate in unfavorable situations. This time the barbarians will inevitably devote their efforts to the country. For safety reasons, they will still rely on tanks. It will not be too late to send a construction battalion to build Wubao..."

Luo Quan nodded upon hearing this.

The three Lu Fei glanced at each other, and at the same time bowed and said, "Yes, the emperor."

Xiao Ming turned around and looked at the grassland again. "The supply of ammunition for this war is extremely important. Once the ammunition is exhausted, the advantage will be lost. Therefore, as long as the supply of ammunition is guaranteed, we will be able to win the war. Otherwise, it will be dangerous. ."

All the generals looked solemn, and the establishment of a country in Dayu has never had such a big war.

This is not a civil turmoil in Da Yu, but also a small battle at the border, but an all-out war between Da Yu and the barbarians.

After inspecting the city defenses of Shanhaiguan, Xiao Ming and a group of generals led down the city wall. Along the way, the soldiers looked at Xiao Ming with reverence.

The emperor they worshipped day and night appeared in Shanhaiguan and would fight alongside them, which made the soldiers inexplicably excited.

Xiao Ming looked at the soldiers with smiles. His purpose of coming here was to boost morale. He would stay in Shanhaiguan during the entire war instead of going with the army.

The reason for this is that he doesn't want to burden the generals, because once the barbarian knows that he is in the army, he will attack at all costs.

In this way, the generals would concentrate their efforts to protect him and forget his goal. He didn't want to make the mistakes of Ming Dynasty Tumubao.

Coming down from the city wall, Xiao Ming did not rush to set up the staff here, but went straight to Shanhaiguan Camp.

Now the soldiers coming from all over the country of Dayu are concentrated here.

When they arrived at the barracks, Xiao Ming and the generals entered the camps of the soldiers and asked them one by one, and asked the soldiers about their current needs.

"The emperor... Come on, we don't need anything..."

A soldier who was only eighteen years old was broken and straight, his throat rolled, and he stammered nervously. When he was chatting with a soldier in the camp, Xiao Ming walked in.

Xiao Ming patted him on the shoulder, and said loudly: "There is going to be a war soon. You may not be able to return after going to the battlefield. Now is not the time to tell lies."

Hearing the words, the young soldier glanced at Lu Fei nervously. He was Lu Fei's soldier.

After swallowing, the soldier said, "I want a lady."

All the way, the generals laughed, and Niu Ben said: "This emperor can't give it to you, but when you come back from the war, you will make a contribution, and the matchmaker at your house may break the door."

The soldiers scratched their heads when they heard the words, and he shouted: "Yes, General."

After chatting with other soldiers for a while, Xiao Ming continued to patrol the barracks in other places.

After he left, the young soldier sat on the ground and said, "I must tell my mother that I saw the emperor when I go back, and the emperor patted me on the shoulder."

The other soldiers were also excited. One soldier said: "I didn't expect the emperor to be so approachable."

When the soldiers were discussing, Xiao Ming went to another five or six camps. At noon, he and the soldiers ate in the same camp. This kind of behavior of being close to the people caused the soldiers' emotions to rise.

In the afternoon, he and the generals gathered at the staff to plan the second day of war.

According to the offensive plan, the army will go out of the city and march towards Pingzhou City tomorrow. According to the news from the cavalry hunters, the barbarians have assembled 120,000 cavalry near Pingzhou, and Pingzhou City has also stationed more than 200,000 slave soldiers.

"According to the information provided by the secret guards, the total number of barbarian cavalry is 350,000. After the Battle of Bashu, there should be 290,000 left, and some of these 290,000 cavalry are in the west to defend the Ottoman Empire. Now the Barbarian has mobilized 120,000 cavalry and deployed in Pingzhou City. This must be the majority of the cavalry in the eastern part of the Barbarian.” Luo Quan analyzed.

Xiao Ming nodded. It is a terrible thing for any country to have more than 300,000 cavalry in this era.

Because just the consumption and maintenance costs of more than 300,000 cavalry are enough to drag down the finances, if it were not for the barbarians to have a large grassland and raise horses in groups, it would be impossible to spread the cavalry to this scale.

However, in addition to the cavalry, the barbarians also have a large farming population. In addition to the slave soldiers, there are also the barbarian infantry. When combined, the strength of the barbarians should not be underestimated.

"The number of barbarian cavalry in the west should be around 100,000~www.wuxiaspot.com~. Counting this, there are still 70,000 cavalry that have not been mobilized. These cavalry should be the troops to guard the golden tent." Niu Ben said.

Lu Fei said at this time: "And we added a total of 110,000 recruits, including 80,000 infantry, 30,000 cavalry, 30,000 cavalry under Qi Guangyi, and 30,000 infantry under Ye Qingyun, with a total strength of 170,000. "

"The number is huge." Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes, but the number of modern armies is not comparable to the number of feudal armies.

Looking at the sand table of the General Staff, he continued: "The most threatening to us is the barbarian cavalry. As long as the barbarian cavalry is destroyed, the other infantry is no more than a rabble and cannot face us head-on."

The generals also knew the truth, exchanged their eyes one by one, and nodded one after another.

After analyzing the forces of both sides, Xiao Ming and the generals determined the enemy's deployment position on the sand table, and at the same time formulated the marching method for the second day, which was disbanded.

In the early morning of the next day, a red sun had just risen to the horizon. The gates of Shanhaiguan gate were wide open. The soldiers wearing green military uniforms and armed with captive guns and flintlocks marched arrogantly towards Pingzhou City.
