Lord of Riders

According to Shao Yu’s plan, the armed militia of the Shao Ming Kingdom is as high as 20,000, accounting for one-third of all residents. In addition, Shao Yu’s regular army has also recovered to 7,000, and the offensive force only retains five hundred Mo Knife knights. , The others are mainly defensive infantry and newly formed cavalry units, still continuing the configuration of swords, shields, spearmen, and archers.

The Kingdom of Shao Ming has suffered heavy losses in recent wars. The army has suffered heavy losses and the elite veterans have suffered a lot. Therefore, Shao Yu does not intend to rush to expand. Development is the last word. First, stabilize the country's situation.

Today, the main powers surrounding the Shao Ming Kingdom, the Vigia Kingdom was maimed by pirates, the Dasta Khanate was destroyed, the Kujit Khanate also suffered a new defeat, and the threat of the Shao Ming Kingdom gradually disappeared.

Attracted by a series of social welfare provided by the Shao Ming Kingdom, more and more refugees came to defect to the Shao Ming Kingdom, and many Kujit grassland tribes also came to defect to Shao Yu.

The Kujit herders on the prairie brought a large number of horses to the Shao Ming Kingdom. Relying on seizures in battle and brought by herdsmen, Shao Yu has no fewer than 50,000 horses in his country. This is very beneficial to the formation of cavalry. As a horseback nation, the Kujites have first-class riding skills on the mainland. Horseback riding and shooting are the attributes of the Kujit herdsmen.

Light armoured Cavalry Archers have always been the main force of the Khergits. They are flexible and quick to move. For those infantry countries, part-time jobs are a nightmare. However, Shao Yu does not intend to use the Khergits’ cavalry and shooting troops. The adaptability of the environment is not high enough, and they lose the mobility that they depend on for survival in the alpine woodland. Their low melee ability to dismount is also their shortcoming.

At present, the Shao Ming Kingdom’s field army only has cavalry, but in the future, Shao Yu plans to form a mixed army composed of many arms. The first is to promote the spirit of martial arts throughout the country.

Although the guards of the Shao Ming Kingdom are all militia reserve, their weapons and equipment are not much worse than those of the Kujit Khanate. It is definitely the configuration of the regular army. In order to cultivate the people’s martial arts spirit, Shao Yu established a state-owned weapons market in Aichemore, selling weapons at low prices. A sharp sword with a market price of 100 dinars only costs 50 dinars here, the same. , All weapons are sold at half price.

The Shao Ming Kingdom is not big, it only occupies one town in Aichemore, Sagitcherburg, Schulersburg, the original plus forty villages that have been continuously expanded. More than 60,000 residents live on a small land.

In order to prevent the intrusion of the rebel army and the ringing horses on the Shao Ming Kingdom, the guards of each village must send patrols every day to maintain law and order.

Each village appoints a brigade leader who will serve as the instructor and commander of the militia guard.

The regular infantry set up one battalion for every thousand people, one battalion commander, one adjutant, one battalion of 500 people, and one squad of one hundred. All commanders were appointed by Shao Yu.

The cavalry is divided into special operations cavalry units and conventional cavalry units. The special operations cavalry units are composed of five hundred knights under Shao Yu. The conventional cavalry units are commanded by Alain commander, adopting the same organizational system as the infantry. The cavalry unit has just been formed, and most of them are recruits, recruiting a total of 2,000 troops. Although they are cavalry units, their current task is to assist the infantry in defense and be responsible for harassing the enemy in the battle for the city.

Shao Yu seized 3,000 kilograms of pig iron in the iron ore of Tianwangling and prepared to process chain armor to equip infantry. Each chain armor was built at 10 kilograms, and it could produce 300 pairs. The iron ore reserves in Tianwangling are rich and will not be exhausted in a short time. At the same time, there are many skilled workers left over from the Dastar Khanate in Tianwangling. Shao Yu also recruited them to his own hands, and at the same time greatly improved their lives. Conditions, let them work for themselves. At present, the iron ore in Tianwangling can produce at least two hundred kilograms of pig iron every day, and Shao Yu also recruits new workers to go to the Tianwangling iron ore to learn iron smelting technology. Now Tianwangling can only produce iron. Shao Yu plans In the near future, Tianwangling will be allowed to mass produce more widely used wrought iron and steel. However, due to the limited skills of the workers, only a large amount of pig iron can be produced. According to the current production level, it will take a long time to equip all infantry with a chain armor. But Shao Yu had no better solution for a while. After all, the country has just been established and productivity is limited.

Shao Yu pondered for a long time about the equipment of the troops. After arriving at the arsenal, looking at the chain armor of the Nord pirates who were being repaired, Shao Yu suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Nordren are such a fast and cost-effective supplier" Shao Yu said happily, slapped his head.

Half of the pirates wear chain mail. Although many of them are worn out, they are better than none. Thinking of this, Shao Yu can't help feeling that it is a pity that so many chain mails are worn on the pirates.

Although the chain armor is light in weight, the protection is good. The Nord pirates are equipped with chain armor in large quantities, which is also one of the important reasons for their strong combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, Shao Yu couldn't help but have the idea of ​​robbing the pirate’s equipment. If he could **** a large amount of chain mail from the pirate, then his infantry defense power could definitely be greatly improved by a level, better than the current army. The cloth armor of the equipment is much stronger. Although the cloth armor is rough and durable, it will break a big hole when it is cut down. The soldier wears no protection at all. Unless it is a rusty blunt knife, these nomadic cloth armor like air can't be cut~www .wuxiaspot.com~ This is also an important reason for the low ability of the Kujites to attack and defend the city. Shao Yu is determined to build a strong army, and first of all, he must improve the equipment of the army.

Now Shao Yu’s army is equipped with the equipment captured by Kujit and Dsta Khanate, which simply cannot meet Shao Yu’s requirements.

Therefore, among the methods Shao Yu can think of, the fastest is to grab, the simplest and most efficient way to accumulate primitive wealth. Shao Yu looks at the former blue star powers. Most of them have started by plundering, and have taken some plundering to the extreme. The empire even supported the cultivation of a very large-scale pirate group.

A few days after the newly defeated Kujit Khanate, in order to strengthen the country as soon as possible, Shao Yu decided to lead his army to the Kingdom of Vaegiya again in order to plunder the Nord pirates in the war.

Those Nord pirates naturally did not expect that they, who had lived on plunder for hundreds of years, would one day be targeted by others and become the target of plunder.

Less than a week after the war, Shao Yu had roughly finished arranging the domestic affairs. Before they could be fully implemented, he led the army to leave again, and handed over the affairs of the state to Elaine and others.
