Chapter 198: Army Adaptation
Shen Guzhi and Guo Fenghua's first reaction to Feng Buping's proposal was that it was a fantasy.
It is true that there are 100,000 troops on the southern border, but do those 100,000 troops really dare to rebel?
Even if it was the other way around, would they really be able to defeat the 200,000-strong army stationed in Los Angeles?
Not to mention that the 200,000-strong army in Luocheng is composed of the forbidden army with quite good combat effectiveness, even if it is more than 200,000 people, with Xiao Chen's gang of brilliant generals, it is not a mere 100,000 Man can conquer.
However, Feng Buping said: "I know you are afraid that the 100,000 army will not be able to defeat Xiao Chen, but we are not just the 100,000 army."
Guo Fenghua and Shen Guzhi didn't quite understand what Feng Buping meant, so they asked, "Can we find other helpers besides the 100,000 army?"
Feng Buping smiled mysteriously: "What do the two patriarchs think about the Tianpeng Kingdom and the Xianglong Kingdom?"
Guo Fenghua and Guo Fenghua were shocked by the two foreign aid Feng Buping mentioned.
The relationship between the three great families and the Xiao family, who is a royal family, is not good, but in the final analysis, this is an internal matter of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Once the Tianpeng Kingdom and the Xianglong Kingdom intervene, the matter will be complicated.
The existing interests of the Great Zhou Kingdom have already been divided up by several major forces, and the introduction of foreign forces can only trigger new great changes, and even lead to new disputes over the distribution of interests.
At that time, how much oil and water can be divided among the three major families will only be left to fate.
After all, those aristocratic sects in Tianpeng Kingdom and Xianglong Kingdom are stronger than those in Dazhou as a whole.
Therefore, Guo Fenghua and Shen Guzhi resisted from the bottom of their hearts.
Feng Buping also knew that it was not easy to convince the two old guys on this matter, so he quickly added another fire.
"Two Patriarchs, please rest assured that Tianpeng Kingdom and Xianglong Kingdom will not interfere in Dazhou's internal affairs, and they have already offered their conditions."
"The Tianpeng Kingdom wants the right to use Longtan Mountain for one year, and the Xianglong Kingdom only needs five dynasties to join forces, so this deal is a good deal!"
Shen Guzhi smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that the Feng family has already planned everything! I'm afraid we are just telling us today, whether we approve or not, you have to go your own way!"
Feng Buping smiled but did not quibble.
Guo Fenghua said yin and yang strangely: "I don't know what is in Longtan Mountain, but the master of Feng has come up with the quota of five dynasties for martial arts. This is too much!"
Feng Buping smiled indifferently and said, "Patriarch Guo is joking. Naturally, these five quotas are not deducted from our three families. The royal family takes more than five quotas every year."
Since the quota is deducted from the royal family, the two of them have no problem.
The interests of the family and the fear of Xiao Chen made the three major families finally choose to cooperate with the enemy country.
"Patriarch Feng, have you decided a specific action time and action plan with the two kingdoms?"
Feng Buping replied: "The specific action time is half a month later. The Tianpeng Kingdom is responsible for assisting the southern army to go north. The Xianglong Kingdom is based on Broken Blade City, harassing the western border, and involving the army in Los Angeles."
Although Xiao Chen sealed off Luocheng, each of the major clans had a jade talisman to communicate with the outside world. It was impossible to completely cut off the connection with the outside world. Xiao Chen was negligent in this matter.
...
Xiao Chen didn't notice the conspiracy of the three great families at all, he was busy with the issue of army reorganization.
The arrival of Meng Tian, Huo Qubing and others made the distribution of the army a big problem.
The original two 100,000-person legions, the Tenglong Legion and the Huolin Legion, have not changed as usual.
As for the Imperial Forest Army in charge of the defense of Los Angeles, Xiao Chen made a great change.
The original garrison army of 80,000 people was divided into two parts by Xiao Chen, one part was the cavalry corps, led by Meng Tian, and its name was the Golden Fire Cavalry.
The other part was the infantry corps. The arrival of Meng Tian inspired Xiao Chen, so he directly named the infantry corps Hundred Battles Armor Piercing Soldiers, and Yu Wen Chengdu temporarily acted as the leader.
Originally, Yu Wencheng assisted Zhang Liao in the formation of the Tenglong Legion. Now, because he was transferred to the Hundred Battles Armor Piercer, the newcomer Le Yi was the deputy general of the Tenglong Legion.
The Tenglong Legion is Xiao Chen's main force to retake Broken Blade City in the future. Letting Le Yi, who is good at siege, get acquainted with the situation in advance, it will also be of great benefit to future wars.
The Golden Fire Cavalry and the Hundred Wars of Armor Piercings were originally planned by Xiao Chen to be 50,000 each. However, there is currently a shortage of troops in Los Angeles, and for the time being, only 40,000 have been gathered, and each army is still short of 10,000.
The lack of soldiers is not the most important thing, but the most important thing is the lack of dragon horses necessary to form cavalry.
Dragon Horse is the best choice for cavalry formation on Tianluo Continent. This kind of horse is a first-order monster, with a strong physique and strong endurance, especially for short-distance charge speed is extremely fast. Therefore, every kingdom will choose this kind of cavalry to form cavalry. horse.
It's a pity that this kind of dragon horse is produced in the northern barbarians. Only a small amount of dragon horses exist in the wasteland in the Great Zhou Kingdom. In recent years, the remaining dragon horses have also been hunted down by the warriors of the major sects.
Therefore, the biggest dilemma Xiao Chen is currently facing is the shortage of dragon horses.
Moreover, three of the four armies formed by Xiao Chen were cavalry armies, and the demand for dragon horses was even greater.
The demand for dragon horses is close to 250,000, and the Luocheng Imperial Army plus the dragon horses of the Four David City are less than 150,000, and the gap is as high as 100,000.
This made Xiao Chen have no choice but to reach Shangguan Qingmeng, who made her a businessman?
Xiao Chen decided to find a chance to talk to Shangguan Qingmeng again recently. The mist congealing grass mentioned last time had gone down, and he didn't take the time to look at it.
The imperial guard was originally in charge of Gao Shun, but after the shadow guard entered, he was no longer needed for the time being.
Xiao Chen put him and the new Huo Qubing into the Huo Lin Army, and asked them to help train the army and accumulate military merit.
The shadow guards took over the defense of the palace in an all-round way. One-third of the original guards were cleared out, and the remaining two-thirds were also handed over to Zhang Han and his shadow guards.
The shadow guards are all masters, and many trivial matters do not require them to do it, leaving some people with low cultivation in the palace, and they also have their role.
With Zhang Han, Li Yuanba didn't have to stay in the palace to protect him all the time. This guy was also happy and went to Xiaohuangshan to practice alone.
After Master Xu came, he was warmly received by Xiao Chen, and then arranged for him in the palace near Sun Simiao.
One of the two is a craftsman, and the other is a pharmacist. They are both people with eccentric personalities. After living together, they each have a partner.
Now, the only thing Xiao Chen regrets is that the super expert Yan Lu has not come yet.
