Chapter 1204 Cavalry
Above the blue sky and white clouds, six aerospace aircraft carriers are heading south rapidly, but they are not advancing at full speed, and they are quite leisurely. These six aircraft carriers belong to Li Xian, Li Yulong and his party.
At this time, Li Yulong was discussing the war with Li Xian. Li Yulong and Li Xian were also aware of the situation of the war in the rear, but they were not worried and continued to go south.
For Li Xian, the current business country does not need much influence from him in a short period of time. The country is already on the right track, and he just needs to look at it. Moreover, Shang Guo swallowed four Golden Immortals in one go, and the speed of Shang Guo's rise has been getting faster and faster.
With four golden immortals, it means that the Shang Kingdom can get more knowledge of the fairy world, which is very important for the future development of the Shang Kingdom. At least, Shang Guo teammate Xianjie is no longer ignorant.
As for the war that broke out at this stage, although Li Xian was a little worried, he was not too worried. Li Xian firmly believes that the current Shang country is sufficient to deal with the current crisis. If even such a crisis can't be dealt with, then the country of Shang will have nothing to say about the future.
The current wars in the Shang Dynasty include not only wars on the battlefield, but also information wars, espionage wars, commercial wars, economic wars, cultural wars, righteous propaganda of the fairy world and the human race, etc.; through a series of means, Shang Guo has reduced the morale of the remaining countries to the limit.
Then the Shang Kingdom also cooperated with the propaganda, vigorously promoting the happiness, freedom, and brightness of the Shang Kingdom; incidentally, it also vigorously promoted the violence, army, arms, past glory, etc. of the Shang Kingdom. All of these add up to give Shang Country an overall lead.
However, the situation in Tang State is not optimistic; however, Li Yulong is not worried either. Li Yulong thought very well, even if Tang Guo disappeared, it would be fine, at worst, I would ask my youngest son for a piece of land, and start over! Moreover, the development of the core area of the Tang State is not bad, and at critical times, they can still call on Shang Guo to assist in defense.
…………
When the Shang Kingdom on the Sanctuary side began to attack, the war on the Yingzhou side was also raging. Surrounding the border of the Shang Kingdom, an unknown number of legions are attacking. Of course, the powerful and standardized industrial warfare model of the Shang Dynasty also left a deep impression on the enemy.
Relying on a strong and complete industrial system, the missiles of Shang country are flying all over the sky. Faced with this still somewhat unfamiliar war mode, it is still difficult for the armies of various countries to adapt to it-thousands of missiles hit in the middle of the night, making it difficult for people to rest.
It's just that the war broke out too suddenly after all, and the Shang country was still a little hasty, and the whole country was in the defensive stage.
The Kingdom of Shang was under attack, and the Kingdom of Tang, which wore the same trousers as the Kingdom of Shang, was naturally besieged. Unlike the Shang Kingdom, which has formed a national air transport network, a god-conferring strategy, and a networked missile defense system, the Tang Kingdom has not yet broken away from low-level tastes... Ahem, it has not yet broken away from the traditional national model. There are all loopholes in national defense. With the combination of fist attacks from various countries, the Tang country was stretched, and the borders of the country kept retreating.
In just seven days, the border of Tang State has retreated more than 1,000 kilometers, and it is still retreating.
Previously, the crazy expansion of the territory of the Tang Kingdom, relying on the support of the Shang Kingdom and the weakness of the surrounding countries, the expansion of the Tang Kingdom was unstoppable; but now the result of the crazy and blind expansion has also been revealed, the foothold is unstable, and it was beaten back!
Not only were they beaten back, but they also lost a lot of military power. Many important legions of the Tang State were swallowed up on the front line, and then many rebelled and turned their heads to attack the Tang State!
In this world of practice, loyalty is a luxury wish; cultivators are the most selfish group in the world.
To say that Li Yulong didn't notice this problem, the reason why the Tang Kingdom continued to expand was actually for wealth. With wealth, these cultivators could be attracted, and a virtuous circle was formed. Among them, it is like a snowball effect in capital inflation.
However, once the capital chain is broken, the problem becomes serious. For example, right now, Tang's road to expansion and development is equivalent to a broken capital chain, the entire perfect cycle collapses instantly, and high-speed vehicles plunge into the quagmire.
The consequences of the break are serious, and the Tang State is simply unable to protect its huge territory.
"Your Highness, you should immediately shrink your defenses!" Yang Zhong, the left minister in the capital of the Tang Kingdom, looked at Li Liang with a anxious tone. In just a few days, Tang State lost one-tenth of its legion. Although most of them were recruits and reserves, it was so heartbreaking!
As for Li Liang, at this moment Li Liang had lost his mind. Li Yulong, Li Xian, and Li Wei had all left. The Shang Kingdom was fine, but the Tang Kingdom was a bit stretched. Everything had to be decided by the king.
At this time, Tang Guo and Li Liang were facing unprecedented pressure, and this situation was also unprecedented. Li Liang was not a king who was hard to find through the ages, but at this time he was a little powerless.
Strictly speaking, Li Liang should belong to the king of success, far from Li Yulong's ambition and means, nor Li Xian's ability to cheat.
But Li Liang has one advantage, he is not a fatuous person, and with Li Xian as a role model here, he keeps urging Li Liang to improve.
A new war plan was quickly drawn up, and Tang State began to retreat. The land area with a radius of 50,000 kilometers is too large to be defensive, not to mention, it will also consume a lot of national resources. The best way is to gather all the forces and resources in these places, and then retreat and defend... Bah bah, it is a strategic shift and shrinking defense.
The order was issued, and the national forces retreated to the southeast. The current capital of the Tang Kingdom is still the original Luquan Mansion, which has been standing next to the Shang Kingdom without moving.
But only half a day after the order was issued, the various places had just taken action, and the bad news came!
A servant hurried over: "Your Highness, there is news from the north that they have been attacked by cavalry from the Kingdom of Jin. The rear of the Northern Million Army Corps has been cut off, and a large amount of military supplies and machinery cannot be transported out."
"Cavalry?" Li Liang suddenly stood up. In this world of practice, ordinary horses cannot be used as military horses; therefore, although countries have cavalry, the number is very small due to mounts. Especially now that locomotives are becoming popular, there are even fewer cavalry.
However, there are still countries that are vigorously developing cavalry, and that is...the countries in the north! The most representative of the northern countries are Qiang, Liao, and Jin. These three countries have swallowed up the land after the Yaozu's retreat. Each country is sparsely populated, which is very suitable for grazing, and they themselves have inherited grazing.
However, what these countries graze are not ordinary cattle, sheep and horses. What they graze are descendants of domesticated monsters, and even descendants of divine beasts. Although this bloodline is already very thin, it is the bloodline of a divine beast after all!
Right now, there is such a legion that has penetrated into the north of Tang State, but Tang State has not received specific information for the time being, and it is not known what kind of legion it is.
"For the time being, I only know that it is a kind of tall gray wolf mount. Judging by the costumes, it is the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin. They move like the wind, and they can leap over no matter whether it is a highland or a river valley. Ordinary city walls can't stop it at all.
And when they charge, they don't charge in an organized way, but in groups of three or four, attacking freely, much like wolf pack tactics. Once there is a hole in our defensive circle, they will rush over in a swarm and tear up all targets.
And because they are completely free and spread out their attacks, shells, missiles, guns, etc. are almost useless. What we can rely on is the close combat of masters.
But..." At the end of the speech, the servant couldn't bear to continue, but it was military intelligence after all, so there was no hesitation, "But the other party is like a real wolf, who can always find our single personnel, and then attack them in groups. Or gather together suddenly and eat up our entire team in one go.
Now the Northern Million Army Corps had to crouch in the military town for the time being, not daring to come out. "
Creak... Li Liang clenched his fists, feeling angry. The industrialized warfare model of the Shang Kingdom has made decisive achievements in the rise and expansion of the Shang Kingdom. However, there is a saying that goes well, one thing conquers one thing. After the Shang country's industrialized warfare model encountered the cavalry model, problems appeared!
At least here in Tang Country, there is a problem! The soldiers of the Tang State were blocked in the city by the cavalry and dared not come out!
Li Liang immediately called a meeting of civil servants and military generals, and everyone didn't think of a good way for a while-the wind and water were used to it, and there was no excellent and feasible countermeasure for a while!
Then, they can only ask Shang Guo for help. Li Liang's face was a little red, he was half an emperor now, and he had to ask other countries for advice when encountering a problem, this... is really a bit embarrassing! But well, the sky is big and the earth is big, the Million Legion must be kept!
No need to think about it, this information reached Li Xian in just a few minutes. And Li Xian, Li Yulong, and Li Wei also participated in the discussion.
The military staff of the Shang State is also thinking about it, because the problems facing the Tang State are also the problems facing the Shang State; if the Tang State cannot solve it here, the Shang State will also suffer in the future.
Li Xian looked at the video material sent with a serious expression. The cavalry of this world and the cavalry of another world are completely different things.
Just look at the three cavalrymen dressed in the costumes of the Kingdom of Jin. Sitting down are three gray giant wolves with a height of two meters; three people and three wolves are like a whirlwind. They can even fly on clouds!
These cavalrymen were very flexible, and they would come and go like ghosts and ghosts. Every time, no matter whether there was any gain or not, they would all fight and leave.
Their attacks are like swallows copying water, and they leave as soon as they touch it; but when hundreds of thousands of swallows come to copy water, they are terrifying. Nothing!
After reading all the materials, Li Yulong concluded: "A team of three to five people cooperates tacitly. Generally, five to ten teams form an action team. The scope should be variable, but each action has a clear goal; and no matter whether the target task is completed or not , touch and go, waiting for the next opportunity to attack!
From team building to strategic attack, all are free to play, but everyone's abilities can be brought into full play, and they can be united to form a powerful army. This kind of fighting style and combat thinking is indeed difficult to decipher.
We intercept and kill one or two teams at most, but may fall into the enemy's siege and trap. Second child, what do you think? "
After a moment of silence, Li Wei said: "Before formulating a strategy, first analyze the goals and objectives of both sides. The enemy's goal is to prevent us from retreating, while our goal is to be able to withdraw the elite and main military supplies.
Wherever our elite and military supplies are, the enemy will pursue them. That being the case, we can make a plan.
If it were me, I would split the army into teams of thousands of people, and keep circling around the army to form a protection circle, a detection circle, and a strangling circle.
The legion is advancing like this, and there will definitely be some losses in this way, but it should be possible to withdraw the elite and main military supplies of the legion.
In addition, the country must do a good job of coordinating, and when necessary, they can jointly strangle the enemy. "
"Inappropriate!" Li Yulong immediately shook his head in denial, "Don't forget, although we have millions of legions, there are a lot of people and supplies that need to be evacuated, and it is very difficult to protect them. And there are a lot of these cavalry, at least it can be determined now, no less More than 200,000! With so many cavalry rampaging, once we leave the city wall and leave the protection, the consequences will be disastrous.
Can you imagine the scene of a piece of fat walking among wolves, then it must be the result! I'm afraid we haven't defeated the enemy yet, we ourselves are exhausted! "
Li Yulong's analysis made sense, but Li Wei got stuck in an instant. But then he said: "If you don't come out, waiting in the city is not an option. Once the military supplies are exhausted, we will be even more dangerous. The current industrialized warfare is powerful, but the consumption of ammunition is bottomless. We stay According to the current consumption of ammunition, the army in the north can last up to five days."
There was no smile on Li Yulong's face either, it was a million legion, and it was quite an elite legion; most importantly, once the million legion was wiped out, it would be an immeasurable blow to Tang's morale!
Even if it is a Shang country with a strong military force, how many 'million legions' can there be!
Li Yulong, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, naturally turned his attention to his youngest son—it seems that this youngest son is the most up-to-date right now!
"Third, what's your plan?"
Li Xian smiled: "Father, I'm waiting for the decision of the staff department."
What? Li Yulong and Li Wei looked at Li Xian, you didn't use your brain?
Seeing the doubts of the two, Li Xian explained a little: "Father, second brother, I am now a standard hands-off shopkeeper in Shangguo. In state affairs, there are Yan Ze'an and officials at all levels, in the military, there are staff departments and officers at all levels, and in scientific research. The people in the group are responsible. What I have to do is to live and live nourished; and then, to prop up a free sky for Shangguo."
When Li Yulong heard this, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes. Li Xian's words touched Li Yulong's heart.
Li Wei was envious: "Little brother, aren't you afraid that the power will fall? What will happen if the country loses control?"
Li Xian smiled, but did not explain; Li Yulong wanted to know the answer, so he had to ask; but at this time Li Xian received a message from the staff: "There is a solution!"
"What method?" Li Yulong and Li Wei asked at the same time.
"We also use cavalry!" Li Xian smiled mysteriously!
