About two days away from Seth City, a large army was slowly approaching.
10 teams of heavy armored infantry with 1,610 men
10 teams with 2,410 heavy pikemen
4 teams of heavily armored soldiers with 644 people
4 teams of Euphorbias with 644 people
4 teams of heavy crossbowmen, 644 men
4 teams of Yanyun Cavalry with 436 people
Team 4 Baima Yicong 436 people
4 teams of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry with 436 people
1 team fell into camp with 161 people
A total of 7,421 people, plus 1 team of trapped camp, 1 team of tiger and leopard cavalry, 1 team of Yanyun cavalry, 1 team of white horse Yi Cong and 2 teams of white horse archers in Seth City, excluding 2 teams of leather infantry, a total of 706 people, the army will
There are 8127 people!
This does not include the troops escorting grain and grass logistics. These troops will be served by 4 teams of light cavalry from the Acropolis and 2 teams of light armored infantry from Dragon City. Fortunately, Sais City will be used as a grain and grass base for the army to go out, and Zhou Yunfei is planning to recruit some more.
Leather infantry is a force dedicated to guarding the city of Sais.
The battle of this army is quite amazing. As for the main formation, the heavy armored infantry and euphorbia soldiers serve as the main formation of the central army, which can be said to be as solid as a rock, while the heavy armored spearmen can perfectly protect both sides of the main formation. Baima Yi
Both Cong and White Horse Archers can serve as light cavalry for guerrilla missions, and the assault force composed of Yanyun Iron Cavalry and Tiger Leopard Cavalry is terrifying to think about! It’s just that the number of heavy crossbowmen is slightly insufficient. According to Zhou Yunfei’s idea, long-range strikes
Naturally, the stronger the force, the better. There is a thick phalanx in front as a rock, and crossbowmen attack the enemy formation in the rear (there is no such thing as crossbow in this world). Fortunately, the white horse Yi Cong and the shooter can take on the long-range strike force to temporarily make up for it.
Below are the shortcomings in this aspect.
Compared with the hardwood longbow, the crossbow is undoubtedly a powerful weapon for killing enemies at close range. Zhou Yunfei is considering replacing the short bow of the white horse shooter with a crossbow. The Academy of Science in Longcheng has developed a lighter repeating crossbow, but there are not many of them. This time
He brought them all, with only about 50 of them. They were all given to the trapped camp for use. It seemed that Zhuge Liang was still worried about Zhou Yunfei's safety. He even told Xu Sheng that the trapped camp was not allowed to be included in the combat effectiveness, and that he must implement the plan of not leaving Zhou Yunfei.
!Xu Sheng had no objection to this.
When the army arrived outside Seth City, Zhou Yunfei led everyone out of the city to greet them, accompanied by the third prince and Yuna.
Since the third prince left that day, Zhou Yunfei sent someone to notify Yuna to meet with the third prince. Both of them were extremely surprised after meeting. They didn't seem to have thought that the other party was in Sais City, but these were not important. When the third prince and Yuna interacted with each other,
After the confession, an offensive and defensive alliance was quickly established. The third prince will use Yuna's superiority to compete with other forces, while Yuna will use the third prince's name to suppress the resistance within the clan. It can be said to be a win-win situation. But the premise is that Zhou Yunfei sends troops to help, otherwise
Everything was empty talk. So both of them were anxiously waiting for Zhou Yunfei's action. However, they didn't see any action from Zhou Yunfei for several days. Both of them were confused and even wanted to go and ask. Fortunately, the third prince stopped Yuna, and the two
The people waited for a few more days. It was only now, when they saw this luxurious army in front of them, that they realized for the first time the unfathomable strength of the young lord in front of them!
"There are more of them than I thought!" The third prince thought to himself after scanning the groups of soldiers, while Yuna was much more excited. With this army in front of her, she would have enough capital to compete with the Presbyterian Council. Maybe
I really need to consider whether I really want to marry this cute little brother!
"Lord!"
Xu Sheng, Pang Tong and Jia Xu dismounted and saluted, while the soldiers behind them looked excitedly at Zhou Yunfei in front of them, the lord they were willing to serve!
Zhou Yunfei's series of reforms made almost everyone in Longcheng rich. The previous coolie jobs were replaced by a steady stream of slaves who landed from Longgang. A new class of civilians also emerged. However, as the citizen class as the voters of the system, all of this was
It was given by the lord! Whether they are officers and soldiers, rich farmers, mine owners, or businessmen, they are all grateful to this young lord. They may not know how to say nice words, but they use practical actions to express gratitude, and soldiers sacrifice their lives! Even if they die in battle
, his family will not blame Zhou Yunfei, because Zhuge Liang said that he would lay down a large territory for future generations! Moreover, after his death, his family will not have to worry about their future life. The generous pension and the help of the fellow citizens will allow the citizens to join
The army is proud of it! It is a pity that Zhou Yunfei did not dare to recruit on a large scale. There must be enough citizens to rule. Fortunately, Yandi Temple can add nearly a hundred citizens every month. With the influx of slaves in the future, the increase in the base will inevitably make the number of citizens
Geometric growth.
Zhou Yunfei and others stationed the soldiers outside the city. Saisi City could not accommodate nearly ten thousand soldiers.
After a simple camp was built, Zhou Yunfei and others discussed the marching strategy in the main tent, including Yuna and the third prince.
"Wen Xiang (characterized by Xu Sheng), except for 2 teams of leather infantry, all the rest of the troops will be handed over to you. This time, Zhao Yun, Ma Chaodian, Wei Gaoshun and four others will accompany you on this expedition. Shi Yuan, you will assist from the side. Zijing (Lu Su)
) You stay in Saisi City and make arrangements from there. If you are a filial piety, please stay with me." Zhou Yunfei said. He and Zhuge Liang discussed the arrangement of Xu Sheng as the commander. Among all the generals, Xu Sheng may not be the best at attacking soldiers, nor is he the best.
The best strategist is one who is steady, motionless as a mountain, arranges his troops in a steady manner, and defeats the enemy with force. This is the kingly way of conspiracy! For Zhou Yunfei, this is the first large-scale battle, and he does not ask for anything.
How glorious! Only one can win! So it is most appropriate for him to be the commander-in-chief.
"Yes!" Xu Sheng stood up and answered, then turned to everyone and said, "Where are the generals!"
"The general is here!" The generals stood up and answered loudly.
"By order of the lord! Zilong is the ranger commander and leads all the cavalry in the army!"
"The last general gets the order!" Zhao Yun clasped his fists and got the order.
"By order of the lord! Meng Qi is the commander of the cavalry and leads the Yanyun cavalry!"
"The general has your order!" Ma Chao stood up and responded.
"According to the order of the lord! You will be the commander of the Euphorbia warriors. From now on, you will not be allowed to leave the line without an order! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"The last general has an order! I am not allowed to leave the line without orders! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Dian Wei Dering repeated loudly.
"According to the order of the lord! Gao Shun leads the camp and is not allowed to leave the lord! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Xu Sheng stared at Gao Shun seriously, letting him understand the importance of this order!
Gao Shun nodded and promised: "The general has an order! No one can threaten the lord until all the trapped troops are dead!"
Zhou Yunfei was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, thinking that this was Zhuge Liang's arrangement, and everyone probably thought so too. He is really delicate.
"According to the order of the Lord! Zijing leads the leather infantry to guard the city of Sais and transfer food and grass!"
"I have my order!" Lu Su replied solemnly.
After arranging their positions, the generals left one after another and went to their own armies.
Pang Tong and Guo Jia arranged the cooking together.
Xu Shengze and Jia Xu looked at the march map, while Zhou Yunfei, the third prince Yuna, and Diao Chan Gao Shun who followed them returned to Seth City.
On the way, Yuna seemed a little silent. Because Zhou Yunfei did not ride a horse, the third prince had to follow Yuna back in the carriage. In Yuna's carriage, the third prince said a little absent-mindedly: "Cousin, it seems that this Lord Zhou's
The strength is much more than this. I guess there are a large number of troops in Dragon City. With the army in front of me, the entire empire cannot put together such a luxurious configuration."
Yuna said: "Both the infantry and the cavalry are elite. With the financial resources of Dragon City, we can probably arm such an army." When she saw those heavy armored infantry passing by, Yuna immediately thought of the legendary Austrian army.
Although I have never seen the heavy-armed army of the Cree Empire, I think it is not much different. An empire as big as Oaklee only has a few thousand such soldiers, and Dragon City has come up with nearly a thousand (actually only 644 of them).
, but it looks like a lot at first glance), I really don’t know how rich Dragon City is. It is rumored that the rapid development of Dragon City Chamber of Commerce will soon replace the Alton Empire Chamber of Commerce. It seems that they have really underestimated them. If they have more financial resources at this time, Austrian
The Dalton Chamber of Commerce was completely defeated.
Then Yuna thought that when such an army appeared under Mok City, it would be very interesting to think about the surprised faces of the people! The corners of her mouth were slightly curved, making the beauty even more gorgeous.
After the residents of Sais City spent a night in fear, the first batch of logistical equipment arrived in Sais City, which meant that the army could set off today.
Zhou Yunfei invited Yuna and the third prince to go together, so that they could use Yuna's power to communicate along the way, and also use the upcoming battle to let them understand what kind of existence Dragon City is.
The army is moving out in an orderly manner. The city of Sais will be closed for a few days. After the army has gone far, it will be opened again and the spies will rush back to report. I think when the intelligence arrives with the army, the faces of those people will be very strange.
It looks good, Zhou Yunfei thought with a little naughtiness.
Although the Presbyterian Church has no hatred against itself, this world is a world where people eat people, isn't it? Since you are chosen as the test knife, if I want to blame you, I should blame you for your bad luck!
Zhou Yunfei looked at the army passing by and looked into the distance and said calmly.
