Under Brandley City, looking down from the towering city wall is simply despairing. [Text starts with densely packed troops like locusts. It really feels like a company of hundreds of miles, at least at the moment they are stationed in Brandley
The garrison officers in the city were a little desperate when they saw such a scene.
Although the Phillips family had high hopes, before they saw the enemy, these "elites" were still very confident about their future. But when they actually saw the legendary invincible army, the confidence they had built up suddenly disappeared.
It collapsed.
They know the trebuchets, and there are several such things in their city. But the problem is, there are at least a thousand of those things in the Dragon City army below! Could it be that Dragon City is planning to flood Brandley City with a massive number of trebuchets?
?
Just like what Li Lan, a rising star in the military, did in Bree City in the north, he could actually flood Brandley City with just a massive amount of stones without spending a single soldier at all!
But obviously, Longcheng is not so calculative.
So what are Zhou Yunfei and Xu Sheng planning?
Training!
No one may believe it, but Zhou Yunfei and Xu Sheng really had this idea.
If you carefully analyze the composition of the troops in the southern theater, you can get a glimpse of it.
Apart from the First Army as the main force, only the 51st Army is the only force in the entire theater that can be considered to have fought in actual combat. The rest is the reserve force of Longcheng. Unlike the northern theater, the elite Second Army and Lu Meng
The Fifty Army were all units with outstanding military exploits, and Li Lan's newly formed Third Army was basically composed of elites drawn from the rest of the main forces. Even in the end, Zhou Yunfei rushed to support Zhang Liao
, and even dispatched the resurrected First Cavalry Division. These many main troops accounted for almost 70% of Dragon City's elite troops.
Therefore, looking back at the glory of the northern battlefield, it is not inexplicable.
In the south, Xu Sheng felt like a clever woman could not make a living without rice. Except for his First Army and Taishi Ci's 51st Army, which had strong combat effectiveness, the rest of the troops were reserve forces.
Although the 52nd Army and the 53rd Army are regular establishments, the actual combat capabilities of their two units have yet to be examined. After all, unlike the system forces, these two units were reorganized from the original Byvost Northern Army.
Aboriginal troops.
There were only a few troops in Longcheng, and Zhou Yunfei didn't have any good ideas. The policy of elite troops advocated at the beginning of the founding of the army allowed Longcheng to complete the military reform first. Later, it took advantage of this to win several victories with less.
Many miracle battles. But as time goes by, the shortcomings of this reform will also be revealed.
The disadvantages can be summed up in one word, and that is money!
Is Zhou Yunfei short of money? Yes, a simple calculation shows that there are five regular Type A group armies in Longcheng at this time.
They are composed of the First Army, the Second Army, the newly formed Third Army, the 50th Army and the 51st Army. These five armies are completely constructed in accordance with the multi-arms group army model proposed by Zhou Yunfei, but these five armies
The troops account for almost 40% of the Longcheng military's annual military expenditures!
Not to mention the money-burning 1st Cavalry Division. The cavalry is not something ordinary people can afford, especially when Longcheng takes the elite route and expands its number to a full division level of 20,000 people.
This guy is burning so much money. The annual expenditure on the First Cavalry Division alone accounts for 20% of the total military expenditure!
What is this concept? To put it into perspective, if Zhou Yunfei replaces the cost of the First Cavalry Division with the Army's Type A Army, then he can at least equip two and a half First Army units!
After excluding the expenses of these main forces, we come down to the 52nd Army and the 53rd Army. Because they are the Army's B-level Army, the expenses are much less. Compared with the First Army, these two armies are quite expensive.
It feels like the father does not care for the mother and does not love the mother. Even during the usual competitions, the presence of the two units is very low. However, do not underestimate them. As the second-line substitute of the military, the number of the group army is basically the same as that of the first-class troops.
, which means that the number of combatants in both armies is around 50,000.
Because Longcheng implements the institutionalization of military pay, the regular army includes two establishments, A and B, so the soldiers' pay is the same, with little fluctuation. As for the reserve troops and the Royal Guard, it is another set.
The 52nd Army of the Royal Army is stationed in Hummingbird City in the Far North. The defense zone covers almost the entire Far North. As a strike force in the Far North, the 52nd Army's combat methods tend to be more focused on mountainous and snowfield operations. Therefore, it is called by Zhou Yunfei.
Mountain Army.
The 53rd Army of the Royal Army is stationed on the outskirts of the town of Parris, twelve kilometers north of Clare City. This position is quite special, as it is right on the outskirts of the First Army on the south bank of the Hengduan River in Dragon City and the Clare family defense zone.
The middle part of the 51st Army. As the core mobile force of Longcheng's military, the 53rd Army mainly consists of light infantry. Therefore, like the 52nd Army, it basically abandoned Longcheng's original set.
Ways of fighting.
It is obvious that the strength composition of these two troops does not include the pikemen that are most obvious in other Longcheng troops. Instead, they are all light infantry.
From the moment he formed the army, Zhou Yunfei attached great importance to these two troops. Why? Because these two troops were almost all "aboriginal" troops composed of the original Bywast people. Zhou Yunfei knew clearly that relying solely on Long
It is almost impossible for the Han army in the city to achieve its grand hegemony. Dragon City cannot be isolated forever, but must be integrated into the Rus continent. Zhou Yunfei understands this, Zhuge Liang understands it, and Pang Tong also understands it.
Therefore, the aboriginal army was established in the third year of the divine calendar.
Now, it's time to pull them out for training. Troops that have never seen blood will always lack vitality. It was with this idea in mind that Zhou Yunfei moved the two troops from their respective stations to the front line of the southern theater.
The commander of the 52nd Army is Anthony Das. He is 41 years old. He once served in the Far North Fortress and experienced several orc attacks. Later, due to some reasons, he was transferred from the Far North Fortress to serve as
A deputy commander of the Five Northern Fortresses. After incorporating the Five Northern Fortresses in Dragon City, he joined the newly established 52nd Army. He performed well in training and was selected into the officer crash course to enter the Royal Military Academy for further studies. 1
Years later, he served as commander of the 52nd Army.
Anthony Das is a very typical Byvost general. To put it simply, he is extremely brave in combat and likes to lead the way. The scars all over his body illustrate this characteristic very well. But this
However, the characteristics were gradually changed among the Longcheng army.
Like many northern men, Anthony Das is very cheerful. With his big beard, he has a high reputation among the 52nd Army. He is a first-rate expert in leading troops in battles. This is Guo Jia's evaluation of him.
At this moment, the 52nd Army left the white extreme northern plateau of Zhongnan and came to the familiar but unfamiliar southern part of the empire. Anthony Das felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He used to be a soldier of Byvost, but now, he is a dragon
As a soldier in the city, this change in identity not only means a change in stance, but it is also a farewell to the past life.
For the legendary figure Zhou Yunfei, Anthony and Das are more in awe. Even though Zhou Yunfei looks frail, he looks like a handsome young man. But there is an indescribable smell in him.
Antony Das couldn't explain this taste, but he gave a vague definition of the air of an emperor!
After living in Dragon City for several years, Anthony Das deeply understood that if the young man in front of him really sat in that position, maybe the future would be really exciting. He is a soldier, and he longs for glory. Ordinary
Life is boring, and the bitter cold in the far north is a challenge, but it lacks a bit of excitement.
Now, finally arriving at the battlefield, Anthony Das felt as if he had taken a sip of strong wine in the middle of winter, and he felt so relieved.
The 52nd Army's eagerness to try made Zhou Yunfei smile and shake his head, and Xu Sheng beside him also smiled a little. It seemed that the years of hard training had driven them crazy. Simply, this time the war on the southern front was mainly about training troops.
For the Lord, let them go.
After receiving the order, the 52nd Army immediately became excited, while the First Army and the 53rd Army, which had not had their turn to attack, were a little depressed. After finally encountering a big battle, they could not take on the main attack. This matter was left to the First Army.
The army also felt uncomfortable. But an order was an order, and the rest of the troops could only watch the 52nd Army set off with a proud expression.
Dragon City’s usual engineering model, the trebuchet goes first.
Nearly a thousand trebuchets were divided into several teams and began to bombard Bradley City one after another.
The poor garrison soldiers crouched with their heads down, listening to the whistling sounds above their heads, praying that the nightmare would pass quickly.
There is a very obvious difference between the panic in Bradley City and the relaxation in Dragon City.
By the way, the trebuchet troops began to experiment with many tactics, such as stepped bombing, key barrage coverage, and other teaching plans and courses in various schools. They might have performed it if it weren't for the protests of the logistics department.
They really wanted to try filling Brandley with rocks!
The trebuchet's advance made other long-range troops unable to sit still.
Zhou Yunfei waved his hand, and artillery, crossbows, and long-range longbow troops all took turns to go into battle. For a time, Brandley City suffered a hellish blow. The city wall was ravaged into shape in a few breaths. If it weren't for
The city wall itself is quite strong, but I am afraid it will collapse under the first round of blows. Even so, the city wall at this time gives people the feeling that it may collapse with just a slight touch.
For two hours, Brandley withstood two hours of brutal and one-sided blows. Two city walls collapsed, and the guard posts on the city walls were almost flattened. Some key areas in the city suffered an almost devastating blow.
Seeing the hell-like Bradley City, those who vowed to hold off the Dragon City army for three months all shut up. This gap is really too big!
