Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 129 Emergency Support!
Yunzhou County, Yunwang Mansion.

"Report! Nanli County Emergency Military Report!"

In the palace, Zhao Jun, who had just finished breakfast, was about to go to some activities, when he suddenly received the news of an emergency military report, he stopped and asked Wang Huaien to take him to the study.

The messenger from Nanli quickly submitted the military report from Nanli County.

After Zhao Jun watched carefully, he slammed the table!
"How dare they!"

It turned out that the counterattack of the poisoned Central Army was stated in detail in the military newspaper.

Due to the small number of people, in order to defend the whole territory, most of the troops were stationed in various cities.

But the opponent, relying on the large number of people, started besieging and killing the various cities of the guard army with an absolutely superior force.

A big city with a large garrison is okay. With the advantage of advanced weapons and the advantages of defending the city, it can still fight back and forth with the opponent, and even make the enemy suffer heavily.

But those small cities on the border are miserable, and most of them only have a few hundred people stationed in each city.

The opponent sent ten times as many troops to each city. Although the soldiers of the expeditionary army had the advantage in weapons, the gap in numbers was too great. When the enemy army was willing to pay a heavy price, heaps of lives could still save the city. They piled to death!

This caused heavy losses in the small cities on the line. Each city lost about [-] people, and the total number of people lost was as high as [-]!

Five thousand!When has the Guards suffered such a large loss since its establishment?
This is simply a painful blow to the guards!
Now stationed in Nanli County is the second batch of soldiers who have changed defenses. There are only more than 1 people in total. Now, except for the remaining 6000 people in those big cities, the rest of the small cities are almost completely wiped out!
boom!
Throwing the battle report heavily on the table, Zhao Jun wanted to get angry, but he didn't know how to do it. With such a big loss, if you say that the soldiers were not brave in fighting, neither was he.

On the contrary, which of the cities that were nearly wiped out in this battle did not fight to the last moment?
It can be said that all the staff are honored, and there is no coward!

Zhao Jun was very pleased with this, at least his money was not wasted!

But this battle itself suffered a huge loss!
Zhao Jun believes that if his own army gathers together, even if the King of Body Poison attacks with ten times more troops, the guards will be able to defeat him without such a big loss. resulted in the present result.

But the city is there, and the number of people is there. If you don't divide the troops, you can only give up the city. Giving up the city means losing land and land. Of course, this is absolutely impossible!

After all, there are still too few people and the weapons are not advanced enough.

Due to the population problem of Yunzhou County, I have always pursued the strategy of elite soldiers. This is true. Although there are few guards, they have never lost a large-scale battle against enemies that are much larger than them since its establishment.

But in the current situation, it will be numb. It is impossible for the enemy to fight with your army every time.

You also have so many cities to defend, it is impossible not to send people out.

At this time, the disadvantage of the elite soldier strategy is revealed, manpower!
Seriously understaffed!

If there are fewer people, they can use superior forces to wipe out every one of your strongholds little by little, and the accumulation can cause you huge casualties.

There are too many people and you don't have so many people!

As for weapons, it's not that Zhao Jun doesn't remember the formula of gunpowder, but he is hesitating!

Hesitant to invent gunpowder in this era.

Gunpowder is a monster. It is completely different from the existing cold weapon system. The early gunpowder is very weak, and it can be said that it only explodes.

Only in the middle and late stages can gunpowder gradually show its power.

And at this time, the gunpowder from the previous life gradually appeared on the battlefields of various countries.

The powerful armor-piercing ability far exceeds that of arrows, and it is much easier and cheaper to train a musketeer quickly and cheaply than to train a soldier.In addition to the big trouble of logistics, it can be said that in the middle and late stages of the development of gunpowder, cold weapons have gradually withdrawn from the battlefield after the appearance of gunpowder.

Today's Yunzhou County has a huge output of iron smelting under its own development.

Yunzhou County was able to quickly form a fully armored army that has always been far superior to other people's equipment at a much faster rate than others, and the cost is not high.

Enough to make the combat power of the army under his command surpass anyone in this era.

This is his own advantage. Even if other people learn to smelt iron like him in the future, he can still maintain his leading advantage with the first-mover advantage.

It can be said that as long as he continues to go on like this, sooner or later his troops will be able to sweep the world directly!
But if gunpowder appears, and is quickly pushed to the middle and late stages by myself.

To be honest, the population of Yunzhou County is still at a disadvantage. Compared with other forces, what Yunzhou County lacks is people!It was also time, after the cheap Musketeers were quickly popularized, those forces with a large population advantage could really crush themselves.

You can think about it, now you have a leading advantage, all your soldiers are armored, and when you fight against an army that doesn't wear armor or only wears half armor, you dare to fight with soldiers ten times less than the opponent because you wear armor , As long as the formation on the opposite side is broken, most of the army will be broken.

It doesn't matter how many people there are.

But in the era of hot weapons, when you line up to shoot, you only have 500 people here, and the opposite side pulls out 5 people to line up with you to shoot in minutes. Your armor will not work in front of muskets at this time. You solved it, what a fart!

Unless your anger can lead to another era, let the machine gun appear, then you no longer have to worry about the superiority of numbers.

But that is doomed to be impossible. Zhao Jun is developing firearms now, and he may not be able to see that day until he dies. There are too many hurdles to overcome.

Among the people who come out with machine guns, the number is the last word!

So firearms can't appear now, at least not when the population of Yunzhou County is still at a disadvantage!
But research can be on the agenda.

Large-scale equipment cannot be concealed, but private research without equipment can keep the secret well and prevent other forces from knowing.

Thinking about these clearly, Zhao Jun called Wang Huai'en and asked, "Wang Banban, how are the recruits doing now?"

Wang Huai'en immediately replied: "My lord, the original plan was to envy [-] recruits. As of the day before yesterday, all the recruits have been recruited, and the recruits are now undergoing training."

Zhao Jun nodded, and asked again: "I remember that this recruitment is staged, and training is not started only once the recruitment is full. How many can be directly drawn to the battlefield now?"

When asked here, Wang Huai'en couldn't answer. Even if he didn't know soldiers, he knew that these recruits had only trained for less than three months, and even the first recruits had only trained for more than a month. Such a short period of time. It is a bit difficult to pull people into the battlefield.

Zhao Jun saw his hesitation and directly limited a range.

"You just tell me directly, how many have more than one month of training time?

Now is a special period. If the battle on the front line is heavy, there is an urgent need to replenish troops, otherwise Nanli County may fall, and there is no time for them to train slowly.

One month is enough time for them to master the various weapons in the army, and let them go to the battlefield to learn the rest. "

Hearing what his lord said, Wang Huai'en sighed, and could only answer: "My lord, at present, only the first and second batch of recruited soldiers have been trained in the barracks for a month. The number of refugees recruited by these two groups is Not too many, the number is around [-]."

"Thirty thousand."

Zhao Jun nodded and thought about it, and then ordered decisively: "6000 is [-], the round guards will send [-] people this time, and let them continue to train recruits for the rest.

And these [-] recruits were all filled into the army, forming a new army in the way of veterans leading recruits, and immediately rushed to the front line! "

Every five new recruits should be led by a veteran. Even if the combat power drops, it will not drop too much. This is the best way Zhao Jun can think of so far.

"Yes, servant girl, let's go!"

Wang Huai'en nodded in response, and immediately rushed to the military camp and the county guard's mansion to deliver the prince's order.

When the army goes out, the logistics, food, weapons, equipment and so on must be arranged with the cooperation of the county yamen.

Soon, the county guard's office and the military camp received King Yun's vassal order, and they began to prepare.

On the third day after the feudal king's order was issued, everything was ready, and a new army of 6000 people led by [-] veterans rushed to the front line of Nanli County immediately!
But at the border of Nanli County at this moment, the flames of war have begun to spread to the territory.

Although several important cities were not lost, the small towns on the border were almost lost.

The Shendu Central Army directly followed these small towns and launched an attack deeper into Nanli County.

Most of those counties were only guarded by these servants, and they were not their opponents at all. Soon, except for the cities behind a few big cities, most of the cities in the west of Nanli County were caught in the flames of war.

The defenders stationed in several big cities wanted to stop them, but they couldn't find any manpower. They could only hold back the enemy's large troops as much as possible, guarding important passages to prevent the enemy's large troops from entering Nanli County unscrupulously.

Otherwise, they went out to support, so that these big cities fell, and the opponent's 10,000+ army entered from here, and the loss of Nanli County will be even greater!
Now the soldiers of the guards stationed in Nanli County are no longer able to take care of other places. The disadvantage of numbers makes them restrained everywhere. They may only be able to launch a counterattack after the new force from Yunzhou County joins.

Now it's time to see when the support will arrive. Before that, the guards can only continue to support it.

At this time, the new army is on the way...
