From Soldier To Emperor

"Haha, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry really lived up to expectations and achieved the set goal. Then let the Xiliang Iron Cavalry let go of their hands and feet, and the battle damage ratio of 1 to 6 is enough to eliminate the greenskin army that penetrated into our hinterland one by one.

Tell the Revival Army to pay attention to the small strands of greenskins that have been defeated during the suppression, and they must not be allowed to enter our human villages and towns to cause damage! "

Richard, who had just received the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Report, gave the order comfortably.

The 5000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry confronted an army with more than 10,000 green-skinned orcs in the wild, and was able to achieve a battle loss ratio of 1 to 6, which is already a very good record.

Of course, the battle damage ratio here only counts the green-skinned orcs, not the scum of the green-skinned goblins and farts.

This battle damage ratio can only be achieved when the regular human army relies on the city defense system. The Xiliang cavalry can achieve this record in the wild, so Richard is naturally satisfied!

However, this battle damage ratio looks good, but other human countries still dare not to consume it like the greenskin army!

There is no other reason, the life of Green Skin is far less expensive than that of human soldiers!

Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a real elite cavalry. This elite cavalry can be as good as 10 human regular infantry soldiers. Ordinary human militias are even more incomparable.

Use this elite cavalry to play a war of attrition with the green-skinned army, even if the battle damage ratio is 1 to 10, the ruler will feel distressed!

Generally speaking, normal rulers will use peasant soldiers who have been trained for a few months to fight the greenskins. The popularity of muskets makes this style of play possible. The reason why the Southern Song Dynasty can block the trend of greenskins nowadays, It is because they have installed muskets on a large scale, and a farmer can shoot and kill a strong green-skinned orc, and even powerful individuals such as the big green-skinned orc and the mad orc after a few months of training!

Elite veterans are not many for the Southern Song Dynasty, but ordinary peasant musketeers have as many as they want!

The population base of East Asia has always been very high. At the beginning, Richard encountered tens of thousands of encirclement and suppression forces in a county in the Western Regions. What's more, the more populous mainland of East Asia?

What's more, the Southern Song Dynasty also accepted a large number of ordinary refugees from the Central Plains. In order to solve the survival problems of these refugees and eliminate the hidden dangers of refugee riots, Song Taizu simply incorporated the refugees into the army and armed them with muskets.

The training requirements are not high. These armed refugees will use muskets to shoot, can understand military orders, and simply march in a queue.

In the shortest three months, the military instructors of the Southern Song Dynasty could make the refugee armed forces understand this.

In this way, not only did the Southern Song Dynasty solve the pressure on the army's source of greenskins, but also fundamentally eliminated the crisis of the refugee group rioting and grabbing food.

These refugees are armed very well to feed, and as long as they have two meals a day, they are willing to work for the Southern Song court.

Moreover, the refugees who fled from the Central Plains have feuds with Green Leather. Killing Green Leather is absolutely politically correct!

Even if you don't want to kill Greenskins, it doesn't matter. Throw it to the front line of the battlefield. Is it possible that you can still surrender to Greenskins?

Even if you are a deserter, you must first be able to run past the green-skinned orcs!

Even young children know that humans can't beat the green-skinned orcs at all, whether it's a short sprint or a marathon-style long-distance race!

People Green Leather marches with two feet every day, and there is no trace of being dragged down!

Therefore, as long as you are drawn to the front line of confrontation with Green Leather, you will bite the bullet and fight hard with Green Leather whether you want to or not, otherwise even your corpse will become a lump of **** pulled out by Green Leather...

In this way, the morale problem of the refugee armed forces has been solved.

Knowing how to use a musket, being able to follow orders, and having a certain morale to fight Greenskins, a team that meets these three criteria is enough to play a war of attrition with the Greenskin Orcs in Song Taizu's eyes.

As for the true elite of the Song Army, they stayed in big cities and would never be pulled out and consumed by the green skin.

As for ordinary peasant and refugee armed forces, they were equipped with muskets by the Song army, and then pulled out to the field to dig out fortifications and temporary fortresses to connect the wilderness between the two cities to create a defensive army of green-skinned orcs. The line of defense flooding into the hinterland.

To put it bluntly, the Southern Song army's "infiltration warfare" facing the green-skinned army was to fight in a daze.

Set up a small fort every 5 miles, and build a large fort every 20 miles. Relying on the defense system of the fortress, Song National Soldiers with muskets can naturally cause huge damage to the greenskins.

In addition, Song Guo also developed a wide-mouth firearm based on the Thunderbolt Cannon, which is similar to a tiger squat cannon, which fires fragments such as gravel and iron beads.

It's a mortar!

The shooting range of this thing is very short, even the range of a matchlock gun, but one shot is a big side, under the power of the violent burning of black powder, even the skin of the green-skinned orc can't hold it!

This is the confidence of the Southern Song Dynasty court to establish a fortress line of defense!

Even if the small fortresses were broken by the green-skinned army, the only ones who died were the refugee armed and peasant warriors who were stationed there~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The elite of the Song army were unscathed, so that the green-skinned army could be kept intact. It is gradually consumed during the advancement, and field battles can be effectively avoided!

However, this approach has a flaw and is extremely expensive!

The labor force repairing the fortress can requisition the refugee and farmer’s arms for free, but the construction materials have to cost money, and the cost of the bowl-mouth cannon arranged on it is much higher than the matchlock gun. Each fortress is equipped with several or even More than a dozen doors, the cost is quite high!

Even if the Southern Song Dynasty relied on the coastal trade inherited from the Tang Dynasty to obtain a large amount of financial income, coupled with the Song Dynasty’s population and a large influx of capital from the Central Plains, the consumption of this fortress battle gradually made the Southern Song Dynasty feel difficult.

At this time, the military power between the Ming and Song Dynasties was not far from the outside world. The quality of Li Cha's Dao soldiers in the Ming State was higher, but the number of troops in the Southern Song Dynasty was much larger than that in the Ming State!

There are more troops in the Southern Song Dynasty than the Ming State, because the Southern Song Dynasty has far more money than the Ming State!

The rise of the Southern Song Dynasty was not a result of brutal warfare. At the beginning, it was entirely based on the use of southern Jidu to attack each other to gain advantage, and then used firearms to achieve a huge strategic advantage.

Then came the devastating war, which wiped out the entire south and southeast coastal areas without fought a few tough battles.

Later, the battle for the demise of the Tang State took advantage of Green Skin. The officials and the army of Tang State who had not only received the surrender in a battle were gone...

Therefore, the Song State did not lose much of its national power during the war, not to mention, it also inherited a large amount of Tang’s heritage, coupled with its geographical location is supported by coastal trade, the rivers in the south are crisscrossed and the water transport is developed, which promotes economic circulation, and makes Song The country’s financial situation is very good!
