Chapter 243 Nanzhao Bandit
The Qiang Independent Mission stayed in Dingjun City for seven days. After resting, he left Dingjun City with Shangshu Qiu and headed towards Huangshakou. Thirty thousand Desert Western Army were accompanied by the Desert Western Army.
Renault has prepared almost the same. The number of carts is sufficient, and the jerky meat is loaded. In addition to the harvest in recent times, thousands of people set off, left the south gate of Dingjun City, and headed towards Qiandingburg.
This road is different from the desert. It is an endless grassland. Looking around, the green grass is shaded and the sheep are like clouds under the sky.
When the herdsmen saw the convoy, they were not afraid. There were curious sheepmen who came to watch the horses. These herdsmen were border residents of Dingjun City, and the cattle and sheep were owned by the Desert Legion, and they were not worried that anyone would dare to make their decisions.
Leaving Dingjun City, every three hundred miles, you can see a battle fort, four cities and sixteen forts in the southwest, from north to south, pulling into a straight line, spanning five thousand miles, becoming a barrier to the southwest of Great Chu.
After seeing the first battle fort, the convoy turned southwest and the fleet took off. This was a training plan formulated by Renault. As long as possible, try to let the pilots fly in the sky. Renault had only a little knowledge of the Air Force, and what he remembered the most was the quality of the pilot, which seemed to be related to flight time. It can often be heard that a certain ace pilot had a flight time of thousands of hours.
Since you don’t understand it very much, you can’t just follow what you see in the news. How good it is to fly without requiring it. As long as you are fine, you will fly in the sky. Over time, you will always be able to fly out some experience.
Before arriving at Dingjun City, the Flight Brigade damaged several aircraft, and now not only have all been filled, but also fifteen more aircraft were added.
Nowadays, there is no shortage of personnel in the convoy. I heard that if you choose a new pilot, there are more people who sign up. Liuyun warriors and retired veterans all have their eyes red.
At this time, the disadvantages of the peripheral members were reflected. Renault only gave Liuyun three groups of pilots, and most of the pilots were selected from veterans.
Warriors above the fifth grade have the chance to be selected. Renault needs more pilots and has equipped each aircraft with three sets of crew. Before dark, the aircraft basically kept flying in the sky, people can rest and rotate, and the aircraft cannot stop.
As a result, Zhangtan couldn't bear it in a few days. He flew continuously, which made the transmission mechanism on the plane too much. When he was in Dingjun City, he prepared a lot of accessories, but if this continued, it would not take long for all the planes to fall into bed.
In desperation, I could only fly for half a day, maintain and repair it for half a day. When I landed, I hung it behind the cart and pulled it away.
The result of the Zhangtan inspection was that the retired veterans of the Dingxi Army were too dark. Although they were disabled, they were very strong, and they were used to using all their strength, which naturally could easily cause metal breakage and fatigue.
When Renault had to teach retired veterans when he was camping, he not only taught them to fly planes, but also knew how to read and count.
"Sir, why do we need to learn this?" The first person to stand up against Gai Yong, a famous general in the Desert Legion, who was at the peak of the ninth rank, lost one of his right arm. He was promoted from a soldier to a general of the Central Army. He could not recognize a few words in total. He had a headache when he saw the words, let alone those twisted numerical symbols.
"If you want to be an air force, these are the foundations, and you won't even make any progress? Don't rush to refute it, listen to me finish it." Renault said, drawing grids casually on paper. On each grid, mark the numbers.
"Look, this is a map. We divide the map into grids with straight lines, and each grid has a number. The battle began, and the Air Force received an order to bomb the 631 area. Gaiyong, come and tell me where the 631 area is?" Renault asked, pointing to the grid on the map.
Gai Yong was stunned. He couldn't read.
"Don't be anxious, there's something else. Air bombing requires calculation of the advance amount. Tell me, 50 kilograms of bombs, 200 meters altitude, and a flight speed of 100 miles. How many meters do I need to drop bombs in advance if I want to hit the target?"
"How do you calculate the opponent's position as a marker when you find an enemy general and pass it back to the command center?"
"On the cloudy day, there is no sun, and you are in the air, how can you identify the direction?"
Renault asked one question after another, and Gai Yong was stunned. He couldn't answer any of them. He thought it was fun to fly a plane, but he didn't expect there were so many comments.
Last year's war caused the 48 countries on the plateau to be greatly damaged. Now the grassland is in a peaceful state. The herdsmen of Dingjun City can shepherd sheep with confidence even if they are thousands of miles away from the city.
The convoy walked on the grassland for more than ten days, and occasionally saw border people herding sheep.
Qiandingburg is the smallest of the sixteen forts. It was originally planned to be stationed by a thousand people, but as a result, with several wars, it became bigger and bigger. Now it can be stationed for tens of thousands of people for a long time.
The convoy did not enter Qiandingbao, and bypassed Qiandingbao, the southernmost southwest, and entered the Gobi area. From Qiandingbao, there was an 800-mile Gobi Desert south. After passing this Gobi Desert, it was Nanzhao.
This Gobi Desert is not large in size, and even the thieves and horses don’t look down on them. Whether it is north or south, horses can run away in one day. In addition, the water source in the Gobi Desert is sparse, making it a truly barren land.
Shortly after the convoy entered the Gobi Desert, the Flying Brigade sent back the news and found the Ranger two hundred miles away.
As the convoy penetrated into the Gobi Desert, the number of rafts increased. Renault was too lazy to pay attention to it. The convoy slowly headed south according to the itinerary of a hundred miles a day.
Seeing that the convoy ignored them, the Ranger became more and more courageous. Sometimes he dared to run several miles away from the convoy and observe the horse.
"Sir, do you want to give them some ruthlessness?" Jing Lan found Renault and asked. He was General Hu Ben of the Desert Legion. He had dealt with Nanzhao people before. These guys were greedy and bullied the weak and feared the strong. As long as they killed a group of them, they would escape far away and dare not take the convoy.
"No hurry." Renault smiled. The team members were complicated and needed integration. No matter how good the training was, it was better to fight a few battles.
"Jing Lan, how is the reorganization of the Guard?" Renault asked.
"There is no problem with the flight brigade, the cavalry is far behind." Jing Lan shook his head and said. The 1,000 retired veterans he brought, naturally there is no problem. Liuyun, rain forest, black phoenix, and slave soldiers are too far behind, and riding alone is far behind.
Cavalry can't just be able to ride horses. People from the Great Chu can ride horses, but fighting on horseback requires professional training.
Da Chu had a complete military training system, one year in infantry, three years in archers, and five years in cavalry. This is the minimum requirement. If the training is insufficient, sending soldiers to the battlefield is murder.
These thousand veterans are skilled in tactics and have good combat power, but after all, they are incomplete and cannot be calculated completely based on normal combat power.
These days, the flight brigade is training, and the black phoenix, rain forest, liuyun, and slave soldiers are also conducting cavalry training under Jing Lan's command. In more than a month, it looks like it is. But in Jing Lan's eyes, it is just a good thing.
The advantages are not lacking. Liuyun's warriors are all warriors, with strong individual strength. With more than 400 warriors, they can withstand two thousand or even three thousand light cavalry with a little training.
Now Jing Lan has 4,000 guards under her command, and she can fight to face the regular army with 8,000 or even 10,000 people head-on.
Of course, if you really do this, the result will not be too good. Even if you defeat the opponent, your own losses will be unbearable. At least half of them will be killed before you will have corresponding results.
Not only is Renault unable to satisfy such combat power, but Jing Lan is not happy either. The conditions of the Shengong Temple are much better than those of the Desert Legion. Not only are the food good, but he also distributes a sammonia pill every month, which is something he dare not imagine.
When he was in the Desert Legion, even as General Hu Ben, he did not have many wild ginseng or ginseng pills every year. The Shengong Hall was distributed to every soldier. According to the level, the ginseng pills issued are also different. The Shengong Hall is too rich.
After going deep into the Gobi Desert for 500 miles, the number of rafts is so annoying that it is annoying. When walking during the day, every quarter of an hour, a team of rafts will be exploring in the distance. At night, they will become even more arrogant. After three consecutive nights, they will catch up to hundreds of spies who want to sneak into the camp.
After Jing Lan understood what Renault meant, she didn't care who was coming. She even saved the interrogation. Any spy caught cut off his head and placed it on the stone outside the camp. If it weren't for the sparse trees here, he could have someone hang the corpse with a wooden pole and dry it.
The convoy made a desperate move, and the number of rafts dropped significantly in the next few days. After all, it was a team of more than 5,000 people, and there were thousands of big cars. Those with slightly weaker power had already retreated and gave up this business.
The powerful ones began to connect with each other. With such a large convoy, there was no force in Nanzhao who could swallow it in one bite with its own strength.
When the convoy walked out of the Gobi Desert, the connection was completed. With Nanzhao's top three forces as the main body and dozens of small forces as branches, more than 15,000 combat soldiers were gathered and ambushed thirty miles in front of the convoy.
After leaving the Gobi Desert, there are large forests. The more you go south, the more lush the trees, the rivers crisscross the roads, and the roads become more difficult to move. There is no official road here, only the paths that locals step out of. The ruts are very narrow, half narrower than the ruts of a cart, which makes the convoy's travel slower.
The Nanzhao horse bandits hid in the woods and were preparing to attack the convoy. In their opinion, they were already very secretive. In Renault's eyes, they were all jokes. Not to mention that the God of Wealth was monitoring at any time, the Flying Team would also send the latest news back every hour.
The number of horse bandits, flags, hidden locations, equipment...
Renault originally wanted to train troops with Nanzhao Horse Bandits, and had very high requirements for his subordinates. He required air reconnaissance to be accurate in every detail, with the number of horses and horses to be accurate to ten, and the banner of horse bandits was even more unmissible to report it.
"Sir, the Nanzhao Ma bandits dispatched all the soldiers and equipment garbage. Only one-third of them had leather armor, and the number of iron armor was no more than 800. Facing the battle head-on, our army will win." After reading the reconnaissance report sent by the Flight Brigade, Jing Lan was so happy that she wanted to howl. There was such a detailed military newspaper that as long as the general was not an idiot, it would be impossible to lose this battle.
If you are not strong enough, you can escape in advance.
"Oh, what price do you think it will cost to defeat the Nanzhao bandit?" Renault asked, he wanted to give this desert hero a good class.
