The Empress’ Livestream

Chapter 557 Chapter 557: Drought, Refugees (3)

The people did not know the news of the death of Princess Anina. Even if they knew it, it was only a royal member who had died.

In fact, this news is enough to stir the situation in the north.

Jiang Yanji calmly asked about the status of the recruits and the training of the recruits.

If it is a war, no one can do it.

Because of the drought in the north, many members of the Tsing Yi Army or the Red Lotus Church felt that they could not survive, and they broke away from the organization and became exiles. Fengyi County is an oasis in the desert for these exiles, reducing their heads to move closer come.

Jiang Yanji made them carefully screened and selected high-quality recruits to enter the barracks.

Thanks to the women's camp's household registration policy, the recruitment work is quite smooth, and many women who are persecuted by life also want to come in. However, Jiang Yanji raised the threshold of the women's camp and only selected women who are physically strong, agile, and determined to ensure the women's camp's combat effectiveness. .

In this era, the population can only be reproduced by women, but the women's camp stipulates that they can marry and give birth after retiring at the age of 24. If too many women enter the women's camp, the population under her rule will inevitably be affected. This is Jiang Yanji Unwilling to see.

Moreover, fighting does not mean that you can win with more people. The overall quality is also important.

She would rather have half the number of women's battalions than men's battalions, but the fighting standard must not drop.

Bing Guijing is not expensive!

Jiang Yanji asked solemnly, "How about the iron ore?"

Feng Jin said, "The Tsing Yi Army that was captured before has already sent out mining in the past. The iron ore veins are still abundant, but in the smelting area ... there is no way to catch it. I am afraid that it is necessary to carefully search for skilled craftsmen. This is not difficult. Jin can find a solution. "

The territory has iron ore, which means that they don't need to buy it at a high price and can save a lot of money.

I bought several thousand sets of simple infantry equipment last year, but it hurt Jiang Yanji's heart and spent money like flowing water.

Even if the money was contributed by the prodigal daughter of Beijiang, her money was in her coffers!

He said embarrassedly, "It's just ... just like that, I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with the cavalry in northern Xinjiang ..."

To deal with northern Xinjiang, they must face their cavalry.

According to previous understandings, the three territories of the northern Xinjiang army are generally composed of infantry and cavalry, the ratio of the two is about 1: 2.

More than ten years ago, the three ethnic groups of the northern Xinjiang attacked Shangyu County, Chongzhou, and used 100,000 troops, including cavalry of 60,000!

After the First World War, the people's situation was like a bamboo shoot, and they went down to the six cities.

If it wasn't for the rapid response of Zhenbeihoufu, it would be more than ten days later, I'm afraid the whole Chongzhou would be beaten down by them.

The three ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang are nomadic people. They deal with horses all year round and say something awkward. Children of seven or eight years old can ride horses on the plains of northern Xinjiang. If the nobles of Dongqing did not have the help of horse stables, even Can't climb on horseback.

The horse stables have just appeared and are not popular. Only a few nobles can equip their horses with simple and fancy horse stables. Riding is not easy, but many high-riding people do not like to use stables, such as Li Yan's goods, often riding horses without stables, so they were teased by the audience in the live broadcast studio, praised the youth's unparalleled strength, and later his wife was blessed Slang words like that.

The stables can be further improved to assist the cavalry to fight immediately, even those who are not good at riding can quickly learn to ride.

But in terms of cavalry, even if Jiang Yanji is now preparing, it is difficult to beat North Xinjiang in quality, let alone quantity.

unless--

While training her cavalry, she trains special units that can restrain her cavalry.

When Jiang Yanji's eyes darkened and his brain began to move, Feng Jin saw that she was in a state of contemplation and could not help but offset her ten fingers. Then she knew that her owner was just thinking of a way, so she didn't say anything, but just waited for her thinking to end.

"It's not impossible to deal with cavalry--"

For Jiang Yanji, no arms are invincible.

Even if it is the genetic special forces formed by the human federation, they are not invincible and can still meet "natural enemies".

Similarly, humble cavalry like the three northern territories is even more unlikely to be invincible.

Feng Jin asked, "I don't know what the Lord can do?"

Jiang Yanji said, "I want to train an army dedicated to horse-cutting. Dongqing's horse farms are all over Cangzhou, and Cangzhou is Meng's territory. They are not with us. I want to buy enough through this channel. War horses are afraid that they will lose their homes. If northern Xinjiang starts a war, they will also keep an eye on the horses. It is unrealistic for us to temporarily expand our cavalry.

Zhang Pingdao aside, "Does the protagonist want to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, avoid confrontation with the cavalry, and instead develop ways to restrain the cavalry?"

When it comes to horse battles, the entire Kyushu and the Five Kingdoms, even the Zhongli, who is the strongest in national strength, dare not say that they can beat Northern Xinjiang.

Rather than fighting for strength in cavalry, we might as well find another way to study special forces that specifically restrain cavalry.

This is indeed an idea.

Jiang Yanji nodded and said, "The war horse is another life of the cavalry. Once the war horse is gone, the cavalry is as vulnerable as a snail without a shell. We can now produce iron ourselves, we can make long swords, and we can make heavy shields. Different types of arms cooperate. For example, some soldiers specifically held heavy shields to resist the first wave of cavalry, and other soldiers stabbed and killed warhorses with long swords or spears ... "

This is just an idea, and actual implementation requires experimentation.

For example, how strong the cavalry charge is, and what kind of heavy shield and strength can block the enemy and protect the rear formation from chaos.

Jiang Yanji said again, "Huaiyu has seen the penetration of the bed crossbow before?"

Bed crossbow?

Use a crossbow against cavalry?

Feng Jin nodded, wondering, "But the crossbow is bulky and difficult to move. If you are against a cavalry, you are afraid that you have nothing to do."

Zhang Ping shook his head and said to Feng Jin, "Huaiyu was wrong. The protagonist meant that if the crossbow can move like a cavalry, how much damage it can cause to the cavalry. The crossbow can be placed on a chariot. Naturally, it is more convenient to move. Of course, it is also possible to put wheels on the bed crossbow, but the bed crossbow is extremely tensioned. Once the arrow is fired, it will move the entire body ... "

The thinking of the technical house is more agile than normal people, and Zhang Ping's direction is naturally different from Feng Jin.

"This can be tried."

Feng Jin thought about the penetrating power and range of the crossbow.

Jiang Yanji poured a basin of cold water, she said, "Adding wheels to the bed crossbow or placing it on the chariot can indeed make the bed crossbow flexible, but it is still too slow compared to the cavalry. Want to rely on this to deal with the cavalry , Tian Fang Ye Tan, at best unexpectedly, threatened the first wave of charge. When the enemy reacted, this trick would not work. "

Jiang Yanji added, "Although the improved crossbow is not as good as a crossbow, its mobility and flexibility are far better than the latter. If a troop is established to restrain the cavalry, the soldier can use the modified crossbow. Such a soldier can be called Crossbow infantry. "

Feng Jin can understand that it is equivalent to the previous sequel, enlarging the number of people ten times.

Jiang Yanji's words opened up new ideas for him.

Feel like you are all enthusiastic (; ⌒ ⌒), this is the seven-year itch curse has come into effect?
