Lord of Riders

Chapter 167: Border friction

Shao Yu and Fatis Elaine discussed for a long time, and finally decided to send three thousand cavalry soldiers to Swadia in batches. In order to hide their identity, the sent cavalry did not use their own special weapons, and Elaine led them to cooperate. Vidim fights.

As a Vigian, and a former noble of Vigia, Eleon's identity is more convenient for communication and cooperation with King Vidim. However, the troops sent by Shao Yu are ordinary cavalry units, and there is no Modao knight. After all, Modao knights are the elite divisions of the Shao Ming Kingdom, which is very important to the safety of the Shao Ming Kingdom.

After Eleon left, Fatis still commanded the Modao knights, and Shao Yu directly commanded the remaining cavalry units. As the Shao Ming Kingdom gradually became stronger, Shao Yu's ambitions continued to expand.

Shao Yu first focused on the vast prairie north of Shaoming Kingdom, Turbuk Castle.

The Turbukburg area was once deeply affected by the grassland ringing horses. The population was small and poor, but the land was very vast. The land controlled by Turbuk Castle is almost equal to that of the Shao Ming Kingdom. Looking at such a vast piece of land, Shao Yu will naturally not be unmoved. However, due to the northward shift of the strategic center of the Kujit Khanate, the Kujit Khanate deployed a large number of troops in the north. Once war started, it would be disadvantageous to the Shao Ming Kingdom.

Therefore, Shao Yu did not want to fight hard with the Kujit Khanate. At this time, the underground organization that Shao Yu worked hard to cultivate came in handy. The spies under the dark guards began to infiltrate the Turbuk area early, and continued to spread comments that were not conducive to the Khergit Khanate.

Residents in the Turbuk area were already impoverished because of the previous plundering by ringing horses, the subsequent continuous wars, and heavy taxes. In contrast, the residents of the Shaoming Kingdom lived in a vivid and colorful place. Residents under the rule of Turbuk Castle have long been envious of the Shao Ming Kingdom. This also gave Shao Yu a chance.

There are five to six thousand inhabitants under the rule of Turbukburg. These nomads usually live together sporadically.

In order to further intensify the contradiction, Shao Yu sent thousands of militiamen disguised as ringing horses running around, looting and blackmailing the local Kujit herdsmen. It makes life more difficult for the herdsmen in the Turbukburg area.

At the same time, Shao Yu continued to send travelers to spread rumors in the Turbuk area that the Khergit Khanate would increase taxes significantly, and at the same time promote the preferential policies of the Shao Ming Kingdom. The spies under Shao Yu were pervasive, not only infiltrating the herdsmen, but also infiltrating the defenders of Turbuk Castle and inciting riots.

To this kind of insidious trick to break through from within the enemy, the dark guards have already used them handily and are familiar with the road. Shao Yu's actions in the Turbuk area continue to aggravate the conflict between the local herdsmen and the ruler, and Shao Yu also secretly armed his troops.

Shao Yu once again replenished the regular army from the 40,000 militia guards, and replenished the domestic cavalry to tens of thousands. The infantry was replenished to tens of thousands, and Shao Yu also started to form a new car battalion of 500 people.

The car battalion formed by Shao Yu did not use an old-fashioned horse-drawn chariot, but a special field chariot.

Shao Yu has installed a large number of launching mechanisms on the tank. Each tank is equipped with a launcher that can fire ten crossbow arrows three times in a row. The range of the crossbow arrows can reach 100 meters, and it can also launch five large crossbow arrows up to one meter long. , This crossbow has a range of up to 400 meters. All the crossbow bolts can be filled in advance, and the thirty-five crossbow bolts on the chariot can be launched in a short time during the battle. There is a row of sharp steel spears one meter long at the front of the chariot, and the front of the chariot can effectively resist the cavalry charge. The chariot has two wheels and wooden tires. Shao Yu uses Bluestar's wheel design. As he does not have the ability to produce steel balls, Shao Yu uses smooth iron sheets where the wheel axles and the car are lifted, plus grease for lubrication. In order to reduce the friction, although the friction is not as small as the use of steel balls, it can barely push and move quickly. Each of the two wings of the tank has a sharp blade one metre long and half a metre wide.

There is a chariot for every five people in the camp, and the cost of each chariot is as high as thousands of dinars, and one hundred chariots cost 100,000 dinars.

The body of these tanks is two meters wide, and with the blades of the two wings, one tank can block a space of four meters. Because of the limited military strength, Shao Yu discovered that he invested a lot of money in the weapons industry. During this period, the military industry of the Shao Ming Kingdom has developed rapidly, including chemical weapons.

The corrosive liquid in the throwing bottle used by Shao Ming Kingdom was sulfuric acid produced from sulfur. Shao Yu changed the throwing bottle into a launching bottle. Shao Yu specially set up a factory to produce special pottery bottles, each with only thumbs and thumbs. The size and the wall of the bottle are very thin to ensure that the sulphuric acid bottle can be cracked after launching and release the sulphuric acid. It contains only a small amount of concentrated sulfuric acid. Using a special launcher, the launching bottle is placed in a catapult made of bamboo tube and beef tendon. The launching bottle can shoot a distance of more than 30 meters.

The soldiers who used sulfuric acid bottles were also specialised by Shao Yu from the infantry. There were thousands of people. In addition to launching sulfuric acid bottles, these soldiers were also responsible for using incendiary bottles to set fires. Basically, they belonged to an ad hoc chemical weapon unit.

The cavalry unit commanded by Elaine has slowly left the kingdom of Shao Ming in batches. Then Elaine met with King Vidim and discussed the cooperation in combat. At the same time, Shao Yu wrote a letter to King Harous. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ said that sending troops to cooperate with Vidim is also a matter of supporting the Kingdom of Swadia. Regarding the reinforcements, King Haraus would naturally not refuse. With Vidim's recovery and Shao Yu's reinforcements, the army of the Swadia Kingdom can also relieve a lot of pressure.

Now the connection between the kingdom of Swadia, the kingdom of Shao Ming, and the three kingdoms of the perished Vaegiya Kingdom has become closer under the attack of the Nord Kingdom. A close alliance is formed quite naturally.

For half a month, the combined forces of the Nord Kingdom and the Kingdom of Swadia fought several times. The Kingdom of Nord could not defeat the city of Dherim, which Swadia was defending, and suffered from frequent conflicts. With the harassment of Gia's rebellion, the fighting between the two sides in the Dehrim area has reached a deadlock.

Also during this period, Shao Yu personally went to the Kingdom of Rhodok, visited Bandak, and finally succeeded in persuading Bandak to join the Kingdom of Shao Ming. And Shao Yu also accidentally learned that Bandak had long respected Shao Yu, and both appeared to help Shao Yu secretly and deal with the real assassin. Shao Yu was naturally very happy, and returned after taking Bandak. Shao Ming Kingdom.

Lord Turuk of Fort Turbuk had a headache in the past half month. The crowd of ringing horses from an unknown source made their own territories smoggy. This group of ringing horses is not only large in number, but also well equipped. Turuk has sent troops to fight against them many times, but to no avail.
