Chapter 670 The combat effectiveness of the Praetorian cavalry

The organization of the Imperial Guard is naturally different from those guards and field troops. It can be said that an Imperial Guard is equivalent to an army and a half. Take this cavalry division as a merely division, although it is only the division's organization, one division has five cavalry regiments, each cavalry regiment has five battalions, which is 2,500 people, and there is also a baggage regiment. The strength of a cavalry division reaches 15,000 people, which is nearly one-third more than that of an ordinary division.

"Where is Hou Junji?" When Luo Shixin retreated, my eyes fell on Hou Junji.

"I am here, I wonder what your Majesty has to give?" Hou Junji stepped forward and bowed deeply to me.

"I want to seize Shudun City and cut off the road behind the 50,000 Tuyuhun army. If you go, how many soldiers will you need?" I looked at this guy and said lightly. After hearing this, several generals couldn't help but turn red and stared at Hou Junji who was also stunned.

Hou Junji grinned and bowed again, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, if I go, I only need two thousand men, but at least ten thousand grenades."

"Two thousand infantrymen, a little less." Pei In-ki heard the words, thought for a moment, and whispered to me. "Also, is this person really OK?"

"I believe him." I nodded and smiled at Pei Renji. Although Hou Junji is in the General Staff Department, he is also serving as the staff officer of the Imperial Guard. He is not only brave, but also quite wise. This is not only my evaluation of him, but also given by the Imperial Guard.

What he lacks is an opportunity, an opportunity that can allow him to stand up and let the Chinese Revival Army see.

I thought about it and made a decision: "I will give you five thousand soldiers and horses, and in addition, 20,000 grenades, how many days can you block the enemy in Shudun City?" Twenty thousand grenades, which is one-third of the total number of grenades brought by me.

This battle brought a total of 60,000 grenades. When I and my wife divided the troops, such weapons were naturally divided, half of each person, and now they are thrown to Hou Junji for two-thirds, which shows the expectations of this young master for him.

"If there are five thousand infantrymen, I will definitely be able to stop the enemy from the time your Majesty's army will whip to Shudun City." Hou Junji, who was wearing armor and looked heroic, replied loudly.

"Okay, I hope you don't let me down. Come on, and order the navy to start sending reconnaissance ships immediately, and be sure to know the every move of the Tuyuhun people along the river. Within two days, five thousand infantrymen will be sent to the suburbs of Shudun City." I nodded and immediately started dispatching.

The Tuyuhun people did not have any warning. Apart from the daytime, there were a ranger patrolling on the river bank, no one was on guard at night. Perhaps, these guys already thought they were invincible and the Chinese Revival Army was a completely unworthy opponent.

The Tuyuhun people were so embarrassed that they would not attack Shudun City. I am really sorry for myself, and even more so for the unlucky people of Heyuan County.

Teams of fully armed soldiers walked from the dock to the ship. These ships had two large round wheels on both sides of the hull, which were the two wheel-shaped paddles, which made the ships and ships have speed and flexibility that other ships could not match in speed.

This kind of warship has great use, whether in rivers, or in vast oceans. Especially when used as reconnaissance ships and air strike ships, it is the most shocking thing.

"Your Majesty, I will say goodbye first." Hou Junji, as the commander of this partial master, rushed over and bowed deeply to me.

"Well, go ahead, I hope you don't let my trust down. These five thousand elite Chinese Revival Army warriors will ask you." I walked up, helped the young Hou Junji up, and solemnly reminded me.

"Your Majesty is lenient, I will definitely not let you down." Hou Junji seemed so loyal, but his expression still seemed very calm, no longer the way young people were in the face of joy and anger. It seems that after a long period of hardship, it has finally achieved results.

Seeing Hou Junji stride towards the warship docked on the pier, I couldn't help but breathe the turbid air in my heart. To be honest, although I am very optimistic about Hou Junji, no one can guarantee that he will be the final winner before the result of the war appears.

However, I believe that with their strong armored sharp weapons and those powerful explosive packs, it is not a problem to take down a small Shudun City. The only thing that makes me worried is that if the Tuyuhun people find out in advance that the trail is broken, then can they rely on the not-so-solid city wall of Shudun City to block the crazy attack of these Tuyuhun people.

"Your Majesty is worried about that guy Hou Junji?" Luo Shixin, the guy squatted behind my butt. Hearing my breathing, he couldn't help but say curiously.

"Yes, this guy has been tempered by me for so long and has never brought his troops. The first battle is so important. I am not worried that he can't take Shudun City. I just can't hold on." I nodded and expressed my concern.

You know, this is the first time that my son has personally led the imperial army after the founding of the country. Of course, he hopes to win a refreshing victory, rather than a tragic victory with heavy losses.

This young master's concerns were not in line with them, but rolled his eyes and looked speechless. Seeing the look of this young master glaring fiercely, the guy scratched his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, I think your concern is unnecessary. Our Chinese Revival Army has a strong combat power, which is comparable to these Tuyuhun barbarians. What's more, the five thousand infantrymen are carefully selected elite troops, all of which are against ten people. Even if the 50,000 Tuyuhun army attacks with all their strength, it is not easy to take it down."

"Well, that's true. I just want to see how much pounds Hou Junji can weigh." I nodded. Even a stupid person like Luo Shixin can have such a view and idea. It seems that there should be no big problem.

On the first night, more than fifty chariot-like warships transported 2,500 fully armed infantry to Heshankan, about fifty miles from Shudun City, and were not detected by the Tuyuhun people. The next night, the second batch of 2,500 infantry also arrived at their destination.

At this time, we sent a regiment of 2,500 Imperial Guards to intercept and kill those Tuyuhun alone who dared to stay away from the Tuyuhun base camp. In just one day, more than 700 Tuyuhun cavalry were killed.

The Tuyuhun people were furious. Murong Daxi sent five thousand cavalrymen to destroy the Chinese Revival Army cavalry that dared to attack his army.

However, after chasing for two hours, these five thousand Tuyuhun cavalry caught up with our cavalry. Then, the two sides experienced a fierce battle. In the end, the five thousand Tuyuhun cavalry threw down more than a thousand corpses and fled.

On our side, the loss of less than one-fifth of the opponent's troops, and 187 of the fallen soldiers were 100% of the enemy. An important reason here is that the cavalry of the Chinese Revival Army was all wearing composite armor with chains, which far surpassed the Tuyuhun cavalry, which was mainly leather armored.

When the opponent's scimitar came over, it would only leave a concave and white mark on the plate armor plate pressed by the hydraulic heavy hammer. Even if it was cut in the gaps of the armor plate, it would be blocked by the light and tough chain armor.

Therefore, when those unlucky Tuyuhun cavalry often howled and waved the scimitar and slashed down fiercely, they would stare in shock and stare at the other party's iron armor without any damage. Sometimes even the scimitar in their own hands would shatter on the other party's armor.

Then, in the screams of despair, he died under the sword of the Chinese Fuxing Army's Imperial Guard Cavalry. In addition, when he was first set up to meet the enemy, the sudden crossbow arrows alone caused the Tuyuhun cavalry to lose hundreds of people. The excellent equipment and hard training made the Chinese Empire's Imperial Guard Cavalry Division's unparalleled bravery and heroic fearlessness.

Two thousand five thousand enemies won five thousand, not only won the victory, but also captured more than 700 Tuyuhun prisoners of war. Such a record made everyone show high fighting and full confidence, and Luo Shixin, the commander of this battle, naturally made his first contribution.

Such an experience was like a slap in the face, awakening the head coach Murong Daxi of Tuyuhun. The guy's eyes were straightened. He saw the Tuyuhun Iron Cavalry under his command, which was originally energetic. He was beaten up like a group of stray dogs that even wolves had their nests occupied. After hearing the reports of the remnants and defeated generals.

Murong Daxi immediately ordered the Quanjun to gather, but he was not really stupid. Although he had assembled a large army, he did not intend to avenge the five thousand cavalry. Instead, he was ready to fight and sent another detective cavalry to find out the military situation on our side.

As for the news that I, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire in the military camp, Murong Daxi could see as long as he had eyes. After all, the royal flag representing the emperor of the Chinese Empire has stood tall in the military camp of the Chinese Empire.

At the same time, they also found out that this brave cavalry was the imperial guards beside His Majesty, the Emperor of China. However, they only brought one division of the imperial guards. After learning the news, Murong Daxi breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps in his eyes, the reason why such a cavalry appeared on the battlefield.

That's because the Chinese Empire's army lost many times and lost many times. In order to boost morale, I, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, sent the guards around me to fight so that the soldiers of the Chinese Revival Army could still see that there was hope for victory.

Therefore, this guy didn't care too much about such information, or the previous many victories had already lost his mind. One victory did not represent anything. Seven failures should represent the true level of the Chinese Revival Army.
