MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1080 Opener!

   Chapter 1080 Opener!

The Gyeonggi Imperial Army originally consisted of 16 Zhechong houses, each with a different number of people. According to the upper, middle and lower levels, the superior Zhechong house had twenty or thirty thousand people, while the lower Zhechong house might have only about 10,000 people or even less than one. Thousands of troops.

   When Li Xin was on his westward expedition, he took three Zhechong residences with nearly 50,000 people, crossed the Motianling, attacked Jiangyou Pass by surprise, and then captured the most crucial Mianzhu.

However, the sixteen Zhechong Houses were when the Gyeonggi Imperial Army was at its peak. Since the Emperor Taikang, the imperial court kept sending soldiers from the Gyeonggi Imperial Army to the southwest. The Hanzhong Army and Ankang Army that appeared later in the southwest were mostly based on Gyeonggi. The Imperial Army was established as the backbone of the army. After the Gyeonggi Imperial Army was recruited, although it was quickly replenished, the combat effectiveness of the recruits had to be discounted. Up to now, there are only 16 Zhechongfu in the capital, but in fact there are only 134. The combat power of Zhechongfu.

Of course, all of Pei Jin's Ankang Army withdrew to the capital, and Xie Jing's Hanzhong Army also withdrew a small half. These two armies can at least be worth two Zhechong Houses, and the defense force of the capital is still 16 Zhechong. around the government.

A few days ago, Hou Jingde led two Zhechong mansions from the Zuoying of the forbidden army out of Beijing. Li Shuo broke up the two Zhechong mansions overnight. Now the troops that can be used in the capital are about fourteen or five Zhechong mansions. about.

   And now, there are about four Zhechong forces, which are about to collide with the Southwest Army.

Li Xin had been in charge of the Gyeonggi Imperial Army for a long time, about seven or eight years before and after. During this time, although he spent most of his time as a shopkeeper, he was still very clear about the establishment of the Gyeonggi Imperial Army. of.

The strength of the four Zhechong Houses is good to say. With the strength of the Ningzhou Army and the firearms, it can be calmly dealt with, but these forbidden troops brought the "Tianlei" of the imperial court out of the city, although I don't know what the firearms of the imperial court have reached. , and how many have been created by the competition, but after all, this thing was created by Li Xin first, and he knew the power of firearms better than anyone else.

   Although this thing is very limited, it can be of great use on the battlefield with only the ability to kill in one area, and it has to be guarded against.

Li Xin watched on the high **** for a while, and after the formation of the forbidden army was almost formed, he also rode to the Ningzhou army camp. At this time, in the handsome tent of the Ningzhou army, Li Shuo had already summoned the Ningzhou army. The main generals up and down began to assign specific tasks. After seeing Li Xin's arrival, Li Shuo immediately got up and bowed to Li Xin and clasped his fists: "I have seen the general!"

   When he said this, all the generals of the Ningzhou Army bowed to Li Xin and clasped their fists: "I have seen the general!"

   "It's time, you're welcome."

  Li Xin sat directly on the main seat and said, "Everyone sit down and talk."

   The group sat down according to the words, and Li Xin said: "The Gyeonggi Imperial Army is only more than ten miles away from us, and it will be there in half an hour at most. At this time, we will make a long story short."

   He asked Li Shuo directly, "What is the strategy of the Ningzhou army to meet the enemy now?"

Li Shuo lowered his head and said: "Back to the general, the last general has already prepared a defensive position. The firearms battalion will fight the first round first. After the first round of firearms, the fire gun soldiers will play the second round. At this time, the enemy's formation is almost the same. It was disrupted, and the main force of our army could take the opportunity to send troops and fight the enemy head-on."

Having said this, he paused and said solemnly: "The number of people in the forbidden army is quite large this time. According to the estimates of the last general, firearms are useful, but in a while, there is no way to kill the main force of the enemy, and most of them have to rely on the front to fight. "

   "This is... an uphill battle."

   After listening, Li Xin nodded and said, "There is nothing wrong with the general strategy, I will correct it a little."

   "This time, the forbidden army... There are about two or three thousand cavalrymen who followed them out of the city. If I read correctly, these cavalrymen have more or less thunder on them."

The imperial court occupies the world, and the resources it has are far from the southwest. a lot.

   Most of the Gyeonggi Guards were infantry, but there were exceptions. The two battalions of Guards added together had about 5,000 cavalry, which could be said to be insignificant compared to the total number of hundreds of thousands of guards.

   Now there are only four Zhechong Houses in the capital, but almost half of the cavalry in the Imperial Army has been dispatched!

   After hearing this sentence, the expressions of the generals of the Ningzhou Army changed slightly.

   Southwest was the first army to have firearms. Although the Ningzhou army had access to firearms a little later than the Hanzhou army, they were also very familiar with firearms. Now that the enemy has firearms, these people are all frowning.

Li Xin was expressionless and continued: "Most of the cavalry of the forbidden army are going to bring Tianlei to disrupt our army's formation. They are here to fight the first battle. I mean, our gunmen and bows and crossbows Soldiers go out to meet the enemy, and use firearms and crossbows to deal with these cavalry."

Cavalry is a very difficult unit to limit, especially such guerrilla intrusion, not the cavalry that fights with you head on, it is difficult to limit, even long-distance weapons such as bows and crossbows are also difficult to hit high-speed moving cavalry. .

  In history, it seems that only the Mo Dao Array in the Tang Dynasty achieved good results, other than that, cavalry can only be defeated by cavalry.

   But fire guns are different.

   Although this thing is simple, the speed of the lead bullet is still much higher than that of the arrow, which should bring a lot of casualties to the cavalry.

Li Xin took a deep breath and continued: "These cavalry are used by the enemy to throw thunder, if they are allowed to break into our army's formation, you must act accordingly, disperse the formation, and do not blow up our army's formation for them. Chance."

   "Also, the thunder of the imperial court... It should be much less powerful than ours. We have to take precautions, but we don't need to be afraid."

Having said this, Li Xin stood up, glanced around the generals in the camp, and said solemnly: "Everyone, this battle is the most important battle for me in the Eastern Expedition. If I win, the general trend is up to me. If I lose, I can only be embarrassed. Escape back to the southwest and face the frenzied revenge of the court in the future."

   "At this time, everyone in the world is watching the capital. If they win this match, at least half of them will fall to our side!"

The Southwest Army has attacked the capital from Hanzhong all the way to the capital with a tyrannical attitude, and has the name of the sixth prince, but until now, Li Xin has not received much support from the forces, because most forces are still not very optimistic about the Southwest. military.

   After all, the mistakes of the Pingnanhou Mansion are still clearly visible.

   But after winning this important battle, it will be very different. At that time, many people who are watching will bet on the field, and Li Xin will get the support of many forces, even full support!

   Li Xin shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone, fight him and win the forbidden army, the Ningzhou army will be famous in the world today!"

  Li Shuo took the lead and half kneeled on the ground, clasped his fists and bowed his head, shouting: "Wait at the end of the general, I will definitely live up to the great general's trust!"

   After saying this, he took the lead out of the camp and began to assign specific tasks to the dozens of generals behind him.

   The fire guns, which have been upgraded to a thousand people, are arranged in the positions on the two wings, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Imperial cavalry.

   It was still early in the morning, but there was no sun in the sky, and the thick dark clouds accumulated, making people very depressed.

   A battle has begun!
