"This matter has to be decided by Tukan's army." Gavin waved his hand, and a holographic phantom map of the Eastern Territory appeared in front of the Xianglong officers.
Pointing to the situation on the big map, Gavin said eloquently: "The Tukan army that successfully crossed the lake has actually sent itself into a desperate situation.
That's it. Just now, we have fully recovered the Leatherman Kingdom and established an unprecedented totem dream here. The collective dream you triggered earlier is one of its uses.
If they try to escape from Leatherman again. The Kingdom of Man retreats and they need to face That’s right, it’s not just the triple attack of open air, land and water, you also need to always be alert to attacks from the dreamland, even if there is a possibility of the Golden Horde Army retreating into the endless wilderness to attack from the front and back, they want to break through the Leatherman Kingdom’s defense line again. Almost zero.
To the north of them is the dense virgin forest Misr, which is an insurmountable barrier for them. It’s okay if they don’t come in. Once they come in, the natural people in the forest will definitely let them go. There is no way out.
Although the Ser Kingdom in the south has secretly formed an alliance with them, it is absolutely impossible for them to lend a road to the Tukan people.
This country's behavior is notoriously selfish and evil. For the sake of profit, they will betray even their own people, let alone temporary allies. Once Tukan's army is in dire straits, they will not hesitate to cut off all ties with them. All their connections and collaborations can even add insult to injury.
The only thing they can do is to move westward, but there is a coalition of countries on the west coast of the Starfall Sea gathering here, numbering nearly 200,000.
It won’t be long before Tukan’s army becomes a turtle in the urn, and it is only a matter of time before it is defeated. "
After listening to Gavin's analysis, the Xianglong officers present were not stupid. They immediately realized and couldn't help asking: "General, after you want to defeat Tukan's army, Capture a large number of Tukan prisoners and exchange them for our people? ”
"This method is feasible. The Tukan people have always saved a hand during this western expedition. The Golden Horde Army behind them is actually the seed they left behind. In order to prevent the army from having problems, the Tukan people can still hold on tightly. Dominate the endless wilderness
But with only one hundred thousand. It is difficult for the Golden Horde Army to control the vast and endless wilderness. They will definitely be extremely eager to rescue more Tukan soldiers and strengthen their own strength.
Exchanging Tukan prisoners for Xianglong slaves, even if it is. One to three, one to five, they are also willing, even if they only need to release this Feng, the treatment of our people among the Tukan people will also be greatly improved. At least the Tukan people will not easily kill or starve them to death."
"The Golden Horde Army is not one hundred thousand, but one hundred thousand. Less than 80,000. In order to cooperate with Tukan's army to cross the lake, they had to attack Mosantir. The city was hit with a bloody head, and the battle damage was as high as 20,000. "In this way, the prisoner exchange ratio will be higher. But do the locals agree with the general? This is a disguised form." Help the enemy and let those Tukan people recover faster."
These Xianglong officers knew the situation of the Tukan people very well, and they all nodded in agreement with Gavin's plan, but then they raised new questions.
"Everything in the world is for profit. As long as you are willing to pay the price, it is not difficult for me to get those Tukan captives. I still have some face here."
Gavin changed the subject and said, "But This matter concerns your relatives and friends, so you can’t place your hopes entirely on others. Only by taking action yourself can you ensure that this matter develops in the direction you most want.”
In a roundabout way, the topic goes around. Finally arrived at the real key point.
“Please also ask the general to give us a weapon and a war horse. We are willing to follow the general to conquer those Tukan people. We do not ask for military exploits, but only ask for the Tukan people we captured to be used in exchange for our People, we will be loyal to the general from generation to generation.”
"Even if you don't have a war horse, a weapon will do."
"Please have mercy, General."
The general named Hu Bianguan is the most quick-witted among all Xianglong officers. He had more or less guessed Gavin's true thoughts, and not only did he not reveal it, but instead followed suit, knelt down in front of Gavin and said loudly.
The other Xianglong officers followed suit and knelt down to pray in unison.
Now it is no longer just Gavin who wants to form the Far East heavy cavalry. These Xianglong people are more eager than him and want to capture as many prisoners of war as possible in exchange for their own people.
In terms of enthusiasm, they are different.
"Generals, please get up quickly. If you are determined to kill the enemy and save your own people, this is the best thing." Gavin couldn't hide the smile on his face, and he personally helped Hu Bianguan up. , while holding his arms and walking together, he said, "Generals, please follow me."
Everyone didn't know what Gaiwen wanted to do, so they stood up and followed Gaiwen.
They left the Xianglong prisoner camp and went directly into the Leatherman Berserker camp.
When the berserker soldiers who were responsible for guarding the prison camp saw them, they not only did not stop them, but instead beat their chests and saluted them.
The object of their salute was definitely not their group of prisoners, but the young general leading the front. This silently showed that his reputation and popularity among these Leatherman Berserkers were very high. Even the ordinary soldiers knew him and treated him with courtesy. Yes, this naturally enhances the credibility of his previous promises.
"This is... Mingguang Armor, there are so many Mingguang Armors, this is such a waste of natural resources."
"This is Ma Cha, this is the best Ma Cha, how could it be possible? Are they piled here like garbage?"
After entering the Leatherman camp and seeing the two mountains clearly, all the Xianglong officers couldn't help but take a breath of air and couldn't help but feel sad.
Of these two mountains, one is filled with extremely precious Mingguang Armor, and the other is a mountain of weapons formed by countless weapons thrown together.
Most of the armors and weapons were stained with frozen blood, indicating that they had just been ripped off the corpses of the Tukans not long ago.
Gavin explained: "The time is too short, I only had time to collect them, but not enough time to sort and clean them up.
These Leathermen are not good at it either. Their careers and lives Customs dictate that they will not use this kind of full-body armor. br>
The horse is a unique alien weapon of the Xianglong Empire. For them, it is too soft to use as a gun and too hard to use as a whip.
So, it is a treasure in your eyes. , where they are, it’s just a pile of expensive garbage.”
Hu Bianguan, who is a master of Ma Cha, couldn't help but nodded and said: "Without ten years of immersion, there is no way to use Ma Cha well. Even in Xianglong, not everyone can use Ma Cha. Most of those Tukan generals are also arty. , It can’t bring out three-tenths of the power of a horse.”
“A good horse with a good saddle, a good sword with a good scabbard, even if it is a magical weapon, whether it can exert its power depends on the use. People.”
Gavin stretched out his hand and took out a cold horse spear out of thin air, threw it to Hu Bianguan and said, "Only a spear master like the general can exert the power of this weapon."
"Ice-breaking armor!" Hu Bianguan took the horse spear, surprised and happy, "Everything that happened before was not all a dream?"
This horse spear was strikingly different from the one he used in the dream. That one is exactly the same.
Gavin smiled and said: "The dream you were in before is called the real dream. It has both illusory and real parts. Your weapons, armor and horses are not fabricated out of thin air. They are all extracted from these weapons and armor piles. prototype, From now on, they belong to you.”
“The General wants to distribute these equipment to us prisoners?” What does Wen want to do.
But when it was finally confirmed, I couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning and was stunned by the other party's generosity.
The number of Mingguang armors piled up here must be at least ten thousand. The weapons cannot be estimated. There are always tens of thousands of handles.
It's enough to arm them to the teeth. With this level of luxury, even the Royal Guards in the Imperial Capital can only do this.
Many of them have only worn Mingguang Armor for others in their lives, but have never worn it themselves.
Well, you can’t say that, they passed through it in a dream before.
“Not only weapons and armor, but even war horses have been prepared for you. What is missing now is people. As many people as you can bring out, there will be as much equipment as possible. I have only one request.”
"Whatever you want, just ask the general."
"I only want elite soldiers, not those who are just trying to get through. Those who can't even fight out of their dreams or simply give up resistance are not qualified to join the army."
Gavin said seriously, "War is not a child's play, there is no A chance to start all over again, but don’t worry, I will take care of those Xianglong people who are unable to go to the battlefield. Arrange them.
The repair and maintenance of broken equipment requires craftsmen who are proficient in them.
The large plantation I opened in the Giant Valley also requires a large number of farmers who are proficient in farming. There will always be suitable ones for them. Work and lifestyle. "
He had made clear arrangements for the whereabouts of these Xianglong people. The vast and sparsely populated giant valley is a good place for fallen leaves to take root.
Since those Jugu people don’t like farming, he arranged for a group of people with unimaginable obsession and attachment to the land to go there.
I believe that these hard-working and simple Xianglong people will never miss Shu when they get there.
If they could take over their family again, they would definitely take root here and spread their branches.
It doesn’t matter if all the family members die, just give them a new home.
Hu Bianguan sincerely praised: "The general's arrangement is very appropriate. Not everyone can adapt to the battlefield. Forcibly sending them to the battlefield will harm others and ourselves.
Instead of doing this, it is better to let They play a role in their areas of expertise, and we will definitely do our best to cooperate with the General to select the most suitable people for the battlefield to form an invincible iron army."
"This is exactly what I want to see. of ." Gavin suggested, "You have experienced the power of dreams for yourself. You can cooperate with the dream to select soldiers and train the army.
Next time you enter the dream, I will not ban you again. The memory allows you to enter in a sober way, up to three times a day."
"That would be the best. In this way, the speed of our army's formation will be greatly increased."
< br>
"Your first task now is to select suitable soldiers, first transport the weapons and armor back for distribution, and then cooperate with the Leatherman Berserker Legion to escort those who are not suitable for combat to the Giant Valley.
You can walk as you go. While reorganizing, the time left for you is very limited, and the war will continue It will break out again."
Gavin directly assigned the task, "As for the number of troops, we are not pursuing full strength. Eight of you will be promoted to generals. Each of you will command a thousand men. You will first organize eight thousand-man cavalry regiments. Come out."
"Yes." The eight Xianglong generals bowed to the order at the same time.
The formation of Far East heavy cavalry is different from the formation of a chariot corps.
The chariot corps is purely recruiting troops on the spot, created from scratch, bit by bit.
Most of these Xianglong people themselves were Xianglong soldiers, and they served as slave soldiers of the Tukan people for a year. They had a complex network of relationships and had their own commanding hierarchy.
Gavin only needs to select the available leaders, and they can use their influence to build a corps framework as quickly as possible, many of which are even ready-made.
As for the issue of loyalty.
They didn’t talk about it from beginning to end, but it was all about this from beginning to end.
Compared with verbal allegiance, there is no stronger bond where both parties share common interests.
So, there was a plan to exchange Tukan prisoners for Xianglong slaves.
What Gavin wants is the loyalty of the Xianglong people, and the Xianglong people need Gavin's help to save their family members.
Each side gets what it needs.
But both sides know that Gavin’s control over them will definitely not rest entirely on this point.
The most important thing is the logistics supply. Without enough food and grass, no matter how sharp their weapons are, no matter how strong their armor is, and no matter how good their horses are, they are still the monkeys in the palm of the Tathagata Buddha's hand and there is no way they can jump out.
As for the collective defection to the Tukan side.
Let’s not talk about how the Tukan people treated them. Looking at the overall situation, the Tukan people are indeed not optimistic. Are they preparing to be captured again by defecting?
The next time, the treatment will not be so good.
The right thing to do is to follow this young general and fight to the death with those Tukan people.
After the chaos caused by the Ser Kingdom, the Leatherman Kingdom missed the best opportunity to attack Tukan's army at night.
When the sun rose the next day, their vanguard army had already appeared outside Double Star Town.
This small town with less than 10,000 people fell without even being able to withstand a single charge from the Tukan vanguard.
This has become the new gathering place for the Tukan army. The army on the verge of collapse regroups and rests here.
"Tian Khan, in this battle across the lake, we not only suffered heavy casualties, but also lost 80% of the army's baggage. The food and grass we carry with the army now are not enough to supply the entire army for ten days. I suggest reducing the supply of slave soldiers by half to prepare for emergencies.”
"Absolutely not. We have just experienced a bitter battle. The morale of the army is already weakened, and the supplies of those slave soldiers are at the lowest level. If they are halved again, a mutiny is likely to occur. Our military strength will be seriously weakened. Now is the lowest point. When we need them.”
“Reducing food supply is indeed not a long-term solution. I think expanding the source of supply is the best way. I We used the wolf pack tactics that we were best at before, killing all the animals on the spot and making them into dried meat, allowing the warriors to carry them with them to enhance their mobility, and then break them into pieces and attack everywhere. From these Seize rations from the locals.”
“I am opposed to using wolf pack tactics. This is not an endless wilderness, but deep inside the enemy. Once a large number of people are dispersed. Soldiers can easily be defeated by the enemy individually. The most correct choice is to assemble the army completely, launch an attack on the surrounding big cities, seize more cities as quickly as possible, and obtain food from them. "< br>
“The risk of the method you mentioned is also huge. Once our army is held back by a certain city and unable to attack it for a long time, we ourselves will collapse. The risk is that it is better to spread out like a pack of wolves, each looking for targets to eat. When they encounter a big target in the city, it is safer to gather together and launch an all-out attack."
"Why don't we start from those. Are the red-robed mages squeezing some of the food out of their hands? We are charging forward, but they have been sitting back and enjoying the harvest."
"They are willing to ally with us because they want to use our troops to severely damage the old enemy Leatherman Kingdom. Now that we have changed the target of our attack, they are afraid that they will no longer provide strong assistance, especially when a powerful coalition force is about to arrive. "
"If they don't give it to us, we will take it ourselves. We can't help them."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy. The thing is, there are huge fault zones between the Ser Plateau and the Sesk Plain where they are located. Most of the places are steep cliffs hundreds of meters high, which are difficult to climb on a large scale. The southwest is relatively low and has seriously deviated from our attack direction. The gain outweighs the loss."
"I insist on the wolf pack tactics"
"I think it is safer to attack with the whole army."
The leaders of the Tukan chiefs were quarreling over the next battle plan, and there were serious differences of opinion.
The biggest impact the Leathermen had on them during the Assen Lake sniper battle was not the horrific battle damage, but the fact that a large amount of military supplies were blocked by the ice wall, making it impossible to follow them. Cross the lake together.
This is the fatal shortcoming of Yamen Khan.
His killing power is powerless in this regard.
Yamen Khan, who was surrounded by heavy blood mist, could not see his true expression at all, and said coldly: "I will give you one day, starting tomorrow, we will go to Teflam as quickly as possible Advance and strive to capture this city before the Faerun coalition forces land in large numbers
As long as this army cannot land, there will be no enemy strong enough to compete with us, and we will be at our mercy. Moreover, there is a large amount of military supplies prepared by the Faerun coalition there, which is enough for us to survive the food crisis. ”
“My God, God, this method kills two birds with one stone, just as it should be. "
"We immediately started preparations to bring our marching speed to the extreme. ”
All the Tukan chiefs and generals responded with praise.
They knew the character of Yamen Khan well. He was not asking for their opinions, but giving an order. , they only have the right to execute and have no objection
And there really is no more appropriate decision than this. Whether it is obtaining supplies from the Kingdom of Ser or plundering from villages and towns, there is great uncertainty. After all, the amount of food and grass they need is too huge.
But it is known that Teflam has a large amount of food and grass, which is the food and grass of the Faerun Alliance.
As long as this city can be captured, not only will their food crisis be solved, but they will also be able to deal the greatest blow to the enemy. (End of this chapter)
