Chapter Five Hundred
It seems that the people of the Western Regions have prepared for a protracted war in this battle.
Anyway, the horse is tall and fat.
Even throughout the winter, they have time.
Chen Lin comforted with a smile.
"Old man, your fourth brother can stand alone long ago."
"At the beginning, you lost to Jinzhou and have no life or death."
"He decisively organized the Czech Retreat, so he did a great job!"
"Lanzhou is in his hands, and his soldiers are so good that he can't help but fight?"
"Don't worry, my whistleblower is watching all night!"
Lu Zhichang and Murong Dongsheng were playing with their beloved monocular telescope.
With this treasure, you can see it in the wilderness for more than ten or twenty miles away.
The Western Regions army outside Lanzhou cannot escape any movement.
Murong Dongsheng smiled happily.
"We have to step up our training now and wait for our hard work."
"When the first batch of standard armored soldiers of the governor arrived, the Iron Front Army would be enough to arm 50,000 iron cavalry!"
"Hahaha, I don't think that the 100,000 Western Regions coalition forces can be stopped."
Lu Zhichang's heart also relaxed a lot. He stroked a handful of messy white beard and smiled.
"To be honest, we have never fought such a lazy battle in our life."
"In the past, every snowy day, more than a thousand miles of walls were blocked three times a day."
"We just have those few people to dig out the people who stayed in the mainland."
"There are only 120,000 to defend against the wall."
"Which year hasn't you been worried?"
"This year is good. Even though we know that there is a 400,000 army, we feel much more at ease!"
Of course you feel at ease.
There are 400,000 cavalrymen.
The Western infantry and cavalry guarding the border occupied the fortress and the city walls and terrain was advantageous.
Isn’t there a whopping 300,000?
Even if there are more than half of the recruits, their combat effectiveness is worse.
With castle protection, can it be the same as field battles?
Even though the two armies commanded by Chen Lin did not come.
The Western Army did not have the ability to fight.
Just guarding the city, there is a chance of winning 50%.
Why open halfway?
Because the Western Army could not afford more troops.
The Western Regions coalition forces can still mobilize reinforcements from the rear, but they still have enough strength.
Those guys who are right away.
Just one piece of leather armor, a bow knife, and two horses are enough.
These equipment are also provided by yourself.
Tribes and alliances only need to provide food and drink.
Chen Lin smiled.
"What I mean!"
"As long as Lanzhou, Huizhou and Tongxin three cities are not at risk of being breached."
"Let's just stop moving."
The above three border cities are enough to restrain 240,000 to 50,000 people from the Western Regions.
The pressure on other border fortresses is not as great as expected.
More than 100,000 cavalry in the Western Regions were scattered on the border line of more than a thousand miles.
So what if you focus on attacking a few places?
Lu, Zhe, who did not keep 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry movements in the Yangsan family?
Reinforcements are available at any time.
Murong Dongsheng pondered.
"Governor, are you worried about being alerted?"
Chen Lin laughed loudly.
"Who said no!"
"Believe it or not, our more than 200,000 people from Dingxi Village will be taken to Lanzhou."
"Just pretending, maybe you can scare the people of the Western Regions away."
"The reason I squatted around and covered all the avenues and border trails."
"I just don't want them to be shocked!"
Time passes day by day.
The weather is getting colder and colder.
The finished characters of the three armies are clearly divided.
In the first month, the Iron Front Army was the leader in training ranks, marching and popularizing literacy.
By the way, carry out grassroots officer education.
In addition to the necessary array, Murong Jun strengthened archery and knife training.
There are 60,000 new recruits in the two armies, and their original riding skills are basically passed, so there is no need to spend too much effort.
Lu Zhichang's 80,000 recruits were a lot short of that, and he had to practice everything from scratch.
His ambitions are quite large.
This group of new recruits is also trained according to cavalry.
Since we will fight sooner or later, there may be no shortage of war horses in the future.
Prepare for the future and have to work hard.
There are iron front troops training from morning to night, and they keep going every day.
Murong Jun and Yongxing Jun had to follow suit.
Originally, the army of this era could be hardworking every three days.
There is nothing else, the more harsh you practice, the more you consume.
Few troops can afford it.
But now I have endless fish tonic.
There are also waterways running grain and fodder day and night, and the inventory is piled up more and more.
In just one month, the soldiers had red faces and were fat and strong.
No matter how hard the training is, can you compare to fighting for life on the battlefield?
Eat and drink enough, be energetic, and need to vent, right?
After a long time, I get used to it.
Lu Zhichang boasted more than once.
He felt that the 100,000 Yongxing Army in Dingxi Village was the one in Dingxi Village.
It is the best training, the strongest discipline and the most determined will in his life.
Murong Dongsheng attacked him.
"You can pull it down!"
"Whether it is a duel drill for individual soldiers, small flags, hundreds of households, and thousands of households."
"Your Yongxing Army can't even defeat me, Murong Army."
"Not to mention the Iron Front Army under the Governor."
Lu Zhichang was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him.
"Why don't you say it?"
"He has all the best soldiers picked out?"
"And you guys, don't say sarcastic words."
"Your soldiers are also the first to choose."
"By the way, my seven or eight granddaughters arrived with the boat in the afternoon."
"You can pick two."
"You are twenty-three or four years old, so the Murong family cannot keep a seed?"
Murong Dongsheng suddenly blushed.
So is there anyone who forces people to get married like this?
Also, we are your children and nephews, what is it like to give away a batch of granddaughters?
What do you call it in the future?
"This...this is that!"
Lu Zhichang said without saying anything.
"It was such a pleasant decision."
"I know you have a high vision, but our granddaughter is not bad either."
"I really don't have the right ones. The Zhe family and the Yang family still have a lot!"
Shen Lin quipped with a chuckle.
"Or, let's choose one or two?"
Lu Zhichang rolled his eyes and said unhappyly.
"Your family already has three beautiful wives, by the way, I have to add Wanqing girl."
"You are still young, don't be addicted to women, it's not good!"
Shen Lin had to retreat speechlessly.
Treat differently, it is not like this, right?
Fortunately, it's just a joke.
Chen Liang's fleet came later than expected.
It took Shen Lin a full fifty-four days.
It was snowing in the sky.
The Western Army is too poor, and what needs to be solved at the moment is winter clothes!
Fortunately, there is no choice for having a white snake at home.
Liang Zizhong, Shen Zhonghe and others can also make up for the gaps.
There are 600,000 sets of cotton coats, cotton pants, military uniforms and quilts that came with the ship.
It can almost be replaced by the Iron Front Army, the Murong Army and the entire Western Army.
There are also quite a few forty-year-old armor.
Seven thousand heavy riding sets.
Light riders have 33,000 sets of armor.
Twenty-six heavy cavalry has 3,000 sets of armor and 12,000 sets of light cavalry.
Of course, there is no shortage of supporting horse lances, the cutting horse saber and the Miao Knife compound crossbow.
No wonder it took so long.
I'm afraid that all the forces at home have been devoted to military production during this period.
Yang Wenhan, who rushed over after hearing the news, was so happy that Lao Huai was comforted.
