Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 46 Chu Shizhao's Black Armor Cavalry! We have to charge in the simulation!
Chu Shizhao doesn't have many choices now.

In the overall situation, most places were in a state of separatism, forming a situation of each being the master. At this time, there was theoretically nothing wrong with Chu Shizhao becoming independent.

Who knows, it might even be able to eliminate the negative impression brought about by the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty’s credibility.

However, Chu Shizhao's current identity was given by the Great Zhou Dynasty. His rash decision to establish himself as an independent state was unethical and unreasonable.

In addition, the central court is also very dependent on Chu Shizhao's current power, so the Wang family, who controls the center, is very likely to win over Chu Shizhao.

He will gain nothing by following others in overturning the table.

Because Chu Shizhao did not turn the table, he also enjoyed a high degree of autonomy in Shandong and Hebei. Most of the officials there chose to depend on him, and there was no resistance to his rule. Even the officials sent to the local areas by the Great Zhou Dynasty were willing to obey Chu Shizhao.

Some people turned the table over in order to consolidate their power in the local area and completely sever the Great Zhou Dynasty's ties with the local area.

After all, the Zhou Dynasty ruled for long enough, and it is still difficult for many people's behavioral logic to jump out of the framework, and they are not aware of the changes in the situation.

Those who were able to realize it, such as Li Jin, Huan Jie, Ma Su'an and others, were the ones who were recorded in history books the fastest and began to write their legends.

After thinking about it, Chu Shizhao felt that he didn't need to be independent at all.

Whether he is independent or not, he is highly autonomous.

The conquered territory was ostensibly recovered to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the actual control was in the hands of Chu Shizhao.

However, when it came to becoming emperor, Chu Shizhao had no idea what to do in this situation.

After all, Chu Shizhao didn't think he had this ability.

Shandong and Hebei alone are enough to pacify the world for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In this situation, Chu Shizhao was able to conquer it, and he can almost be said to be a low-end Li Shimin.

[In April of the first year of Zhenping, Ma Su'an took the title of governor of Youzhou in Fanyang and took the initiative to attack Dou Li who was guarding Cangzhou.]

[In order to ensure the safety of Fanyang, Ma Su'an executed all officials in Fanyang who were loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty within one day on the day he launched his rebellion.]

【Ma Suan launched a surprise attack. 】

[He personally led more than 60,000 cavalry and infantry from various tribes, marched at midnight, ate at dawn, and advanced 60 miles a day.]

[Trying to use a surprise attack to directly capture Cangzhou, which had just been summoned by the Great Zhou Dynasty.]

[Dou Li had never expected that after being summoned to the throne, he, who had become a general of the Great Zhou, would be ambushed by Ma Su'an, who was previously the governor of Fanyang and also a general of the Great Zhou.]

[However, Chu Shizhao had already reminded him to be on guard against Ma Suan.]

[This allowed Dou Li to prepare the defense line in advance and carefully blocked Ma Suan's surprise attack plan.]

[At first, Dou Li thought that Chu Shizhao deployed his troops to Fanyang because he had some plans for Fanyang, but he didn't expect that Chu Shizhao had seen through Ma Suan's rebellious intentions.]

[In May of the first year of Zhenping, Dou Li followed Chu Shizhao's instructions and deployed the battle line in time to directly intercept the offensive of Ma Suan's troops.]

[In the same month, Chu Shizhao appeared in Cangzhou. He issued a strict order for rectification and had already assembled a group of soldiers who were ready to fight to the death.]

[In both places, Chu Shizhao has always enforced the discipline of the generals and executed most of the soldiers with poor military discipline in order to enhance the respect of the generals for the orders of the generals. ]

[In order to improve the combat quality of the entire new army, Chu Shizhao incorporated the elite troops who surrendered from the Huan family into these new armies and promoted them to middle and low-level generals of the new army, thereby deepening his control over the army and its momentum.]

[In June of the first year of Zhenping, a cavalry clad in dark but fluorescent heavy armor appeared on the battlefield.]

[Chu Shizhao used all his savings accumulated over the years to create armor specifically for cavalry.]

[This cavalry is wearing Ming Guang armor, and the biggest highlight of this metal armor is that it has complete protection. The shoulders, chest, arms, waist, knees and other parts are all protected. This greatly enhances the cavalry's protective ability and has the ability to charge into battle. ]

[Even the war horses were equipped with protective gear. ]

[Chu Shizhao named this cavalry unit the Black Armor Cavalry.]

[This was a heavy cavalry unit that was originally built with only 300 Liangzhou cavalrymen as its base.]

[It was later expanded to 2,000 people.]

[Their leader is Chu Shizhao himself.]

[After appearing in Cangzhou, this cavalry formation named Black Armor Cavalry immediately arrived at the front battlefield where Ma Suan and Dou Li were constantly fighting.]

[While Dou Li's frontal troops were engaged in a stalemate with Ma Su'an, Chu Shizhao immediately led the black armored cavalry to attack. ] [Chu Shizhao accurately judged the weak point of Ma Su'an's troops, and directly bypassed them, cooperating with Dou Li's frontal troops to attack the enemy from the front and back. ]

[With this sudden cavalry, and Chu Shizhao as the commander, they plunged into the sea of ​​troops at the risk of their lives. ]

【Ma Suan's troops' morale collapsed as casualties rose sharply.】

[Soon, the Cangzhou army led by Dou Li and Chu Shizhao's Black Armor Cavalry will join forces to fight, with dust flying and shouts everywhere.]

[Chu Shizhao rushed directly to the rear of the formation and hung up his military flag.]

[Ma Su'an's troops looked back and saw the flags of the government troops. The entire army had already collapsed after being hit by the continuous attacks.]

[Chu Shizhao immediately pursued the remnants of the defeated army, and pursued them for more than thirty miles. The Black Armor Cavalry beheaded more than 7,000 bandits and captured 50,000 of them.]

【Ma Suan was captured alive by Dou Li. 】

[In July of the first year of Zhenping, Ma Su'an, who was captured alive, expressed his willingness to submit to Chu Shizhao, hoping to save his life.]

[However, Chu Shizhao enumerated Ma Suan's crimes, believing that as a foreigner, it was a blessing for him to be favored by the court. Now he did not appreciate the grace of the country and repeatedly rebelled. This time he was even more rebellious against the court. He was worthy of death, so he immediately ordered him to be beheaded. ]

[In August of the first year of Zhenping, after Ma Su'an died, his son Ma Wei saw that the situation was hopeless, and immediately led his few personal troops to abandon Fanyang and flee to the Xiongnu.]

[In the same month, Chu Shizhao pacified Fanyang.]

【With the power of one person, he governed three places. 】

[In September of the first year of Zhenping, Wang Shouyi, who proclaimed himself emperor in the south, decided to lead his troops to the north to show his determination to unify the world.]

[In October of the first year of Zhenping, Chu Shizhao went to Datong to discuss important matters of assisting the state with Xu Hao, the governor of Datong.]

【Xu Hao deeply felt Chu Shizhao's deep sense of justice, and he also knew clearly the terrain where he was. If he did not make plans early, he would be overwhelmed by Chu Shizhao's army sooner or later.】

[Chu Shizhao is a member of the Zhou royal family, and now he is being wooed by the Wang family. In terms of justice, legal principles, and military strength, he is no match for them.]

[He immediately prostrated himself on the ground, expressing his willingness to serve Chu Shizhao.]

[In November of the first year of Zhenping, Xu Hao, the governor of Datong, declared his loyalty to Chu Shizhao. After Xu Hao, the governor of Datong, surrendered, Lü Zhuo, the governor of Daning, also quickly chose to pledge his loyalty to Chu Shizhao.]

On the small map, the two places of Datong and Daning were immediately lit up.

Xu Hao had 30,000 troops, and Lu Zhuo had 20,000 troops.

However, although these two people are loyal to Chu Shizhao, their positions and attitudes are not high. If Chu Shizhao's situation is good, they will help; if the situation is bad, they may wait and see; if the situation is bad, they will most likely follow suit and surrender.

Therefore, Chu Shizhao will not use these two people too much, and their power will be reduced.

[Emperor Growth Plan] It's a pity that you can't see the loyalty of these minister cards. You can only see their positions and judge whether they can be used based on their positions.

Unfortunately, some people are treacherous but appear loyal. They seem to be very loyal to Chu Shizhao, but when something happens, they become fickle and change their attitude.

Chu Shizhao thought about it. After all, this [Emperor Growth Plan] was a simulation based on reality. It was normal that it was difficult to make accurate judgments about something as fickle as human nature.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Chu Shizhao loves to lead by example is very simple.
Leading the army in person can permanently increase the morale of your soldiers by 10 points. As long as you arrive at the battlefield in person, the morale of your soldiers will unconditionally increase by 10 points.

These 10 points of morale are enough to change the situation of the battle.

After all, the lower the morale, the more likely it is that as long as the battlefield loss ratio exceeds 10%, there will be defeats and routs that will continue to affect the entire army.

That kind of team that would fight to the death was extremely rare in ancient times.

If 10 people go to war, it is normal for them to run away after 2 die.

The fact that they were able to hold their ground even after three deaths shows that this is a well-trained new army.

If a force can hold on even if five of them die, then it is definitely an elite force.

Chu Shizhao naturally makes use of every available value. Being present on the battlefield in person can boost the morale of the team, ensure the accurate timing of the Black Armor Cavalry's advance on the battlefield, and enhance the cavalry's dominance on the battlefield.

Why can't we lead by example?
If you are afraid of death during simulation and deduction, then what’s the point of simulating it!

In simulation exercises, Chu Shizhao usually practices to death.
