The Art of War says that the end of a strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu's silk.
The Holy Holy See's mainland spans nearly 2,500 miles from south to north and more than 1,700 miles from east to west. It is the second largest country in the Eminor continent after the Amy Empire. According to incomplete statistics, the total population is between 10 and 12 million.
.
Three full months have passed since Chi Aotian set foot on this land of blue sky and green grass. In the past 100 days, the Black Dragon Knights were like a violent beast that broke into the boundless flock of sheep.
Passing through a pool of blood, those who follow me will live, those who go against me will perish. Wherever the black dragon banner and the flying winged rattlesnake banner point, they are invincible. There is almost no general in front of the horse. They are known as the sweat and blood of the first mercenary group in southern Xinjiang.
The iron cavalry mercenary group with two dragon knights ranked in the top 20 on the fighting spirit list also had to be defeated before Li Long.
However, as time goes by, as the war continues to move into the Huayu Plain, the balance of the war is tipping towards the Holy See...
The first is the enhancement of the combat power of the teaching troops. Except for Gifu City, which was really fell into the hands of the Black Dragon Knights, almost all of the other five major towns and more than 30 villages and towns were destroyed by the local people and the Holy See who were brought by the Black Dragon Knights.
Deep reflection from top to bottom, why, which herdsmen who once only knew how to be submissive, can burst out with such powerful war power? Why, which professional soldiers that the Holy See has trained for about half a year, perform so poorly? After learning from the pain, the Holy See has since
The Fanos training camp has transferred three thousand-man teams to train and teach soldiers. The Fanos orcs are far better than humans in terms of hard work and hard work, and their requirements for human soldiers are also much stronger than human instructors. The training camps in each city
At least three digits of recruits died during training in Zhongdu. However, in such cruel training, batch after batch of training soldiers showed their true war capabilities.
Secondly, the Holy See’s series of bloody suppression methods against villages and towns that provided houses for rebel bandits in the southern part of the Huayu Plain were widely exaggerated within the Holy See as positive teaching materials. After hearing about the crazy killings again and again, the local residents of the Holy See realized one thing clearly: in the towns
If they defend to the death, they will definitely be massacred by Chi Aotian's expeditionary army; however, if they are not massacred by this expeditionary army, then the Holy See will definitely charge the crime of collaborating with the enemy and eradicate it completely. In this case, under Chi Aotian
Large areas of uninhabited villages may have begun to appear within 100 miles of Tian's army's route - civilians left their homes crying, and the instructors came to burn them on the back to completely cut off the supply of Chi Aotian's expeditionary force.
Thirdly, after more than two months of repairs, especially through the recruitment of new soldiers, Mengton has now become stronger and stronger, with a combat strength of 45,000. Originally, in the planning of the base camp, Mengton was expected to play the role of Bianzhuang, but unexpectedly
Yes, the 4,000-strong iron army led by Tieshou Banjiang collapsed in a few days, and Chi Aotian's army was not seriously injured at all. Under such circumstances, the base camp would certainly not be stupid enough to fight with Tieshou Banjiang first and last.
Let Chi Aotian take advantage of this situation, the original plan was quietly revised. Fanos officer, who was originally on the periphery, quickly contacted the Grand Duke of Iron Hand Banjiang and provided him with the best campsite and
Priest. Under this premise, Mengton has sent several elite teams of thousands to constantly appear near Chi Aotian, oppressing the area where Chi Aotian is replenishing food and grass.
Finally, religious jihad is often the cheapest and most effective propaganda method of the Holy See. Groups of ordinary Catholics were quickly armed by the Holy See. Of course, there were many people whose relatives died in the expeditionary force.
Simple weapons were waiting for opportunities to attack the lone expeditionary force on the grassland, day and night, seemingly without stopping.
Three days after the expeditionary force of the Black Dragon Knights repaired in Rhodes City, the expeditionary force continued to move forward. Several senior officers clearly felt that the surroundings were full of strangeness. The elves kept seeing black smoke pillars on the horizon. When the large group of people arrived at the smoke pillars,
I discovered below that villages were burning in the wind. There was no one in the village, all the houses were burned, all the wells were filled and poisoned. In such a completely destroyed town,
, of course there is no need to expect to find food supplies.
It was nothing like this on the first day. After five or six consecutive days, the exact same thing was discovered. Everyone in the expeditionary force understood what had happened. The elf knights then discovered something outside the attack range of the expeditionary force.
There are several Fanos armies, each of which has as many as a thousand men. With so many people already above the water, what about the ones who have not been exposed?
At night, after the 20,000 troops of the Black Dragon Knights were stationed, Chi Aotian summoned all senior officers to hold an emergency meeting. When Chi Aotian briefly said that more than a dozen villages around him were deserted, the huge handsome tent was filled with silence.
You can hear the breathing of the soldiers.
What should we do? Now the expeditionary army needs at least 200,000 jins of grain and grass every day to feed the people and horses. Even if part of the forage can be replenished on the spot, the food will still need about 50,000 jins. If it is 50,000 jins a day, what about 10 days? What about 20 days? At least.
One million kilograms of food! The expeditionary army could only carry about 300,000 kilograms of food with them. In the past stage, every six days or so, the expeditionary army had to find a villager gathering point to replenish it.
If the enemy really clears out all the villages within 100 miles of the expeditionary force, then there really won’t be enough food and grass to replenish it. Then, from now on, all soldiers must start eating meat and give up food to their war horses.
If the dried meat is gone, then the only choice is to slaughter the war horses. The war horses have been eaten...
I heard that in previous similar wars, there were soldiers who ate human flesh. Sigh... Needless to say, there were such cases in the war history of the Black Dragon Knights. Otherwise, there is one of the most famous poems among soldiers: "Laughter"
Eat the meat of barbarians, drink the blood of knife heads when thirsty, and search for feudal princes thousands of miles away." Don't think that this is the coquettishness of literati, it is 100% fact! Even the famous Yue Wumu in ancient times left behind: "Aspirations are hungry and hungry.
Hun meat, laughing and talking about drinking Hun blood." That was the true portrayal that the soldiers at that time added on the spot.
In ancient legends, when the Hussars made their first expedition to the Huayu Plain, because humans did not have a large-scale war mechanism at that time, after the supply line was stretched to 1,000 miles, it was no longer possible to make up for it - a cart of grain
If sent to the military camp, at least 10 cars will be consumed on the road or even snatched away by the enemy. In this case, the hussar general had no choice but to order to forage on the spot. After the local cattle and sheep were eaten, the local residents were killed.
Finally, it was crushed with a war hammer, and part of it was placed on the roof of the chariot to be dried in the sun for later use; the other part was wrapped with clean grass leaves and placed under the saddle. After the war horse galloped continuously for several hours, the horse
The heat emitted by the body and the friction with the saddle will cook the minced meat raw. After arriving at the camp, you can start eating after getting off the horse, which saves the trouble of the fire-headed army - there were no fire-headed soldiers at that time, and the body would be weak early.
They were abandoned, and those who were physically strong were transferred to the combat team.
In January of summer, the Huayu Plain in the subtropical region was already quite hot, and that's it... A small wind blew by, and all the officers who graduated from the Imperial High School of Knights had cold sweat on their backs. No wonder... in
The courses of the Senior Knight School specifically talked about the cannibalism of the Hussars General during his expedition. The lecturers from the army very calmly commented on the inappropriateness of the Hussars General's method of eating meat at that time - the meat was placed under the saddle.
A large amount of sweat flows out of the human body and the horse's body. This sweat dissolves into the meat and is evaporated by heat. Repeatedly, the salt in the sweat is retained in the meat. In this way, the meat tastes very delicious even without adding salt. However, this
The method is extremely unscientific. Sweat, especially the sweat of herbivorous animals like horses, is slightly toxic - the grass eaten by horses is poisonous, and humans will die if they eat it. In the careful brewing of this special condiment
Yes, this minced meat is slightly toxic, and many soldiers suffer from migraines and other occupational diseases.
To this day, these senior officers can still remember the homework assigned by the teacher after that lesson: "How to roast meat during a forced march." Thinking of this, the officers' mouths felt bitter, and they glanced at each other at the other officers.
I found that everyone's face was uniformly pale.
What was the standard answer at that time? Several officers couldn't remember it for a moment. Alas... what a failure... The officers' faces were burning with fever. However, I heard that General Chi Changyun graduated from the junior knight school and the intermediate level.
The Knight School, all the way to the Imperial Advanced Knight School, all won with first place results. I wonder if Chi Aotian also has such excellent results?
Several senior officers felt something floating in front of them in a trance. Before they could react, one of them received a solid slap on the head, and his blue-green tasseled helmet was almost knocked off his head: "What are you three doing?
?Do you want a wife or are you considering how to surrender to the enemy?"
Vicious words were spoken unscrupulously from the mouth of the super bright head that was reflecting the candlelight in front of him: "General Chi Er, your subordinates, you have to be careful. You see, you are dreaming in broad daylight.
Either there is something wrong with my nerves, or I worked too hard last night, causing kidney deficiency and internal fire."
"Where have we done those things? We have never..." An officer wanted to explain something else.
"Hehe... there is no chance at all, is there? I know that you nobles are all prudes on the surface, but you are all the same stuff on the bottom... Well... of course, General Chi Er, I don't include you when I say this." The old priest said.
He looked like he didn't have three hundred taels of silver in this place.
Several officers even looked at each other with a wry smile. Among the original officers of the Black Dragon Knights, except Qu Jianhong who didn't sell Tayang's account very much, everyone else was willing to bow down to the old priest when they met him. There is no way.
The thing is, this old guy who should be in a coffin due to his age is extremely nimble with his hands and feet. If they fight with bare hands, these officers may not be able to defeat him, let alone the monsters he summons.
Qu Jianhong is still recovering from his injuries, and ever since Qu Jianhong was injured, Tayang has taken great care of him and visited him every three days, even though all he said was: "You're not dead yet." "Damn, what a good person.
If you don't live long, you will be in trouble for 1,000 years." "Thousand-year-old bastard, ten-thousand-year-old tortoise, you kid seems to have the physique to live for ten thousand years." Wait, but anyone can feel the concern hidden in Tayang's cold words.
, now that Qu Jianhong has met Ta Yang, his attitude has obviously changed. Alas... This does not mean that the officers will have no backing in the future. The key is that in the future, if the two of them get into trouble, the famous aristocratic family in the Tongyunguan War Zone will
Couldn't it be that there's another one...cough, cough...why do we say another one?
"You're a bunch of useless snacks. You can't fight, and you can't use your brains. Tell me, what else can you do?" Tumo stars flew in Tayang's mouth, and the three officers really had nothing to say.
Tayang still has one advantage. If the other party is obviously subdued, Tayang will generally not continue to bully him. According to Tayang himself: "He is not as knowledgeable as his juniors."
Immediately, Tayang returned to his seat and patted the table: "Fortunately, there are talented and knowledgeable people like me in the expeditionary force. If these bastards from the Holy See continue to blockade us like this, the solution will be lost.
It’s not like there’s nothing at all…”
"Is it possible? The military advisor also wants to..." At the same time, several senior officers remembered the old priest's previous actions. Based on everyone's understanding of him, cannibalism... does not seem to be an unacceptable fact. Maybe,
This guy was still regretting why he didn't marinate all the corpses in the previous war. The three officers all felt something deeply stirred deep in their nerves.
