Chapter 440 Iron Armored Beast Legion

Ouyang Shuo glanced at Song Jia with pity in his eyes.

Silly girl, you are still so strong.

"Give me the scale armor, and I'll give it to Qing'er. There are so many scale armors, enough to sew three or four sets of inner armor."

The inner armor is second, the key is that with these precious materials, Qing'er is expected to hit the grandmaster. Xiao Nizi was still complaining to him last time, saying that there was no top-level material to hit the bottleneck.

The scale armor that Ouyang Shuo collected from the Iron Armored Beast did not catch her attention.

"it is good!"

Song Jia readily handed over hundreds of scales to Ouyang Shuo, "Oh, yes, and this." Saying that, Song Jia took out a booklet from the storage bag.

"what is this?"

Ouyang Shuo took a look and was dumbfounded.

[Iron Armored Beast Taming Technique Manual]: After using it, you will automatically master the Iron Armored Beast domestication technique.

"Is this also dropped by the king beast?"

"Yes indeed."

"sure."

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, and there was no big surprise in his heart.

You know, even in Qiongzhou Island, iron armored beasts are rare species. Therefore, even if the domestication technology is mastered, it is useless without a certain number of breeding animals and groups, and there is no way to domesticate them.

"You."

Song Jia glanced at Ouyang Shuo speechlessly, rolled her beautiful eyes, and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't underestimate people. What if I said that I also found a valley with thousands of armored beasts living in it?"

"what?"

Ouyang Shuo didn't notice it, his voice was trembling, and his whole mind was shocked by the information revealed in Song Jia's story.

A valley inhabited by thousands of armored beasts? What kind of concept is this? Combining the two, a brand new cavalry unit is about to be born.

Armored Beast Legion? It's exciting just thinking about it.

You know, the Iron Armored Beast is a serious desolate beast, an existence comparable to spirit beasts. If the armored beast is used as a mount, it will be even better than the green clam horse.

After all, no matter how compared the green clam horse was, it was just an ordinary war horse.

Reminiscent of the huge body, tyrannical strength and terrifying explosive power of the armored beast, such a cavalry galloping on the battlefield is simply a nightmare for the enemy.

The only fly in the ointment is probably that in terms of endurance, the armored beast is slightly inferior to the war horse.

But it doesn't matter, if you really want to form an armored beast cavalry unit, it must be the most powerful heavy cavalry, a terrifying existence that can determine the outcome of a war.

Heavy cavalry don't need long-distance raids.

It is their destiny to shred the enemy and smash all obstacles on the frontal battlefield.

Of course, to control such a powerful mount, the requirements for cavalry are also very high. The first thing Ouyang Shuo thought of was the mountain barbarians.

Perhaps, only the same powerful mountain barbarians can control wild beasts like iron armored beasts.

Soon, a preliminary plan was formed in Ouyang Shuo's mind. Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo turned his head, looked at Song Jia affectionately, and said, "Jiajia, you are really my lucky star."

As he spoke, he suddenly hugged Song Jia with a joyful expression.

"Dead wood."

Being attacked by Ouyang Shuo, Song Jia was caught off guard and blushed.

"Haha~~"

Ouyang Shuo looked very happy.

The personal guards who were guarding outside the hall turned a deaf ear to the noise of playfulness coming from inside the hall. These guards are soldiers of Shenwuwei, and they are also Ouyang Shuo's most loyal and reliable guards.

After a moment of tenderness, Ouyang Shuo remembered the business.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Please Du Ruhui, Ge Hongliang, and Xia Houying, the three directors, come to the hall to discuss matters."

"promise!"

Seeing that Ouyang Shuo wanted to discuss something, Song Jia was about to say goodbye and leave.

Song Jia is very measured. Although she is already the mistress of the Hou Mansion, she never interferes with the government affairs of the territory. She knows very well that with the improvement of Ouyang's status, some taboos cannot be touched.

Especially behind her, there is still an uneasy family standing.

It has always been a taboo for the harem to interfere in politics.

The dictatorship of foreign relatives is even more taboo.

Song Jia is a strange woman, and influenced by her family environment, she knows how to set an example.

Regarding this point, Ouyang Shuo was also very pleased.

"Wait a moment."

Ouyang Shuo called Song Jia to stop, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, invite uncle and aunt to visit Shanhai City."

Now that Song Jia has returned, how to arrange the Song family's future is on Ouyang Shuo's agenda.

Zhaoqing County was already caught in the flames of war. Every day, the high command will write the latest battle situation into a briefing, and send it to Ouyang Shuo through the post station for reading.

Ouyang Shuo knew the battle of Zhaoqing well.

Compared with the Battle of Leizhou, on the Zhaoqing battlefield, the Southern Border Protectorate only invested three divisions, namely the second and fourth divisions of the Longxiang Army and the first division of the Baotao Army.

Among them, the first division of the Leopard Tao Legion has just been formed, and its combat effectiveness has yet to be tested.

It stands to reason that Zhaoqing County should increase its troops at this time.

But Du Ruhui took stock, and could only shake his head and say no.

The first division of the Longxiang Army and the third division of the Huben Army have assembled in Duanren Mansion at this moment, preparing to cross the Shiwan Mountain and directly attack the hinterland of Wuzhou County.

The third division of the Longxiang Army was stationed at Mulan Fortress as usual.

With the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the digestion of Zhen'an County and Guilin County, according to reliable information from the Military Intelligence Department, the number of troops in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has doubled, approaching the 200,000 mark.

Correspondingly, the South Camp of the Taiping Army stationed north of Mulan Fortress has also increased to 40,000 troops at this moment. The third division of the Longxiang Army was stationed at the Mulan Fortress, already trembling.

With a division against an army of 40,000, there is no big problem with Mulan Fortress.

The point is, what if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom suddenly increases its troops?

In that case, the Mulan Fortress cannot be said to be as stable as a rock.

The ambition of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not impossible. After all, if the Mulan Fortress is taken down, it will be a big temptation for Hong Xiuquan to direct the soldiers to Lianzhou County.

The premise is that Hong Xiuquan does not know how many elite troops are stationed in Lianzhou County. Otherwise, he would definitely stop thinking about it.

After Shanhai City established the Military Intelligence Department and the Black Snake Guard, in terms of intelligence confrontation, it can be said that the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom has completely fallen behind, and is not at the same level at all.

Shanhai City knows every move of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

On the contrary, they knew nothing about Shanhai City and Tianping Heavenly Kingdom. Mulan Fortress does not accept any outsiders to enter, not even a fly from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can fly into Lianzhou County.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo had the confidence to subdue Tianping Heavenly Kingdom.

The other three divisions of the Huben Legion had just experienced the Battle of Qiongzhou and needed a period of rest.

In addition to trimming, there is another reason, that is, there are still some sporadic indigenous tribes in Qiongzhou County that have not surrendered. The intermittent resistance and sneak attacks in various places have seriously affected the local construction of Qiongzhou County.

These natives are also extremely cunning, they dare not attack such a large city as Yashan City, but specifically pick out some settlements or villages.

Destroy a village today and burn a mile tomorrow.

In this situation, Ouyang Shuo naturally couldn't mobilize the Huben Legion.

He sent a letter to Sun Bin, head of the army, and Tian Wenjing, the county guard, asking them to cooperate with each other, and the government should govern flexibly, and then cooperate with the army's tough suppression, one strong and one soft, so that the riots in Qiongzhou County must be quelled as soon as possible.

Although in the official letter, Ouyang Shuo didn't criticize anything harshly.

However, both Sun Bin and Tian Wenjing felt the prince's anger.

Junhou Lei Ting was furious, and Qiongzhou County was once again bloody.

Before entering Yazhou, Ouyang Shuo already had a premonition that the natives of Qiongzhou Island would be difficult. But he didn't expect that there would still be troubles after stationing an entire legion to guard it.

The resilience of these natives was beyond Ouyang Shuo's expectations.

He can only hope that Sun Bin and Tian Wenjing can help him clear the obstacles. Otherwise, Ouyang Shuo didn't mind waving the butcher's knife at the stubborn natives.

In the entire battle of Qiongzhou, none of the indigenous tribes had been completely wiped out. When the situation was about to get out of hand, Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to make a fool of himself to frighten the idiots.

Apart from the two major armies, the only remaining field armies were the Imperial Guard Division and Habayashi Guard.

Unfortunately, in the Battle of Julu, the two ace troops suffered heavy losses. The loss of their soldiers cannot be replenished in a day or two.

Fortunately, Habayashi Wei directly selected people from the Imperial Guard Division, and quickly restored to the establishment of 3,000 people. At the same time, the army was officially renamed Shenwuwei.

The Imperial Guard Division is more troublesome. There was a large shortage of people in the first place, and now they have been taken away by the Shenwu Guard by 1,400 to 500 people. It is really traumatic.

Division head Lin Yi ran to Ouyang Shuo to appeal every three days.

Reluctantly, it is wartime again now, in order not to affect the combat effectiveness of the frontline troops, the Military Affairs Administration can only send troops from the third division of the Longxiang Army stationed in Mulan Fortress, the first division of the Longxiang Army stationed in Duanren Mansion, and the Huben Army. In the third division of the Legion, soldiers were temporarily transferred from the three divisions to supplement the Imperial Guard Division.

The vacancies of the three master groups can only be filled slowly.

Regarding this, Shi Wansui and other generals also complained a little in their hearts. You know, although they are not front-line troops, they are about to go out soon.

At this time, the sudden transfer of hundreds of elites was not enough to hurt the bones, but it was enough to cause headaches for several division heads.

Ouyang Shuo, a prince, does not have a bowl of water.

To the complaints of several generals, Ouyang Shuo could only promise to replenish them with troops as soon as possible, and at the same time give them some priority in the supply of equipment and food.

Only in this way can the matter be settled.

The family is big and the business is big, that's the trouble.

As the head of the family, Ouyang Shuo couldn't just protect the Imperial Guard Division and Habayashi Guard. Otherwise, other troops really have to have opinions.

The soldiers drawn by the three master regiments are not immediately available. They also need to go to the special operations training base for two weeks of special training.

Ace troops like the Imperial Guard Division and Habayashi Guard are strong, but once they are damaged in battle, it is not easy to recover. Otherwise, why didn't Ouyang Shuo form an ace army directly.

Therefore, after calculation, it is impossible to increase troops in Zhaoqing County.

Bai Qi and Han Xin could only lead three divisions to attack Zhaoqing County.

In addition, it is the cooperation of Tianshuang County City Guards.

Compared with the Battle of Leizhou, the entire Battle of Zhaoqing had an advantage in logistics support, but it was much more difficult in other aspects.

The battle of Leizhou caught the enemy by surprise. When Leizhou was captured, not to mention the lords of Zhaoqing County, even the lords of the entire Lingnan province were shouting: Wolf is coming!

At this time, it is impossible to launch a surprise attack again.

The only way is to just face it.
