From Soldier To Emperor

The main force of Richard's army and the forwards of the Turpan Kingdom was first a fierce battle between scouts, but both sides knew some details of the other side, and after a trial, they did not launch all the scouts to the front line.

　　 This avoids the consumption of elite scouts on both sides.

　　 When there is no absolute certainty to control the entire battlefield, it is a very common behavior to avoid meaningless battle deaths by elite scouts.

　　 After all, those who can serve as scouts are the best in the army, and they have to master a lot of professional knowledge of scouts. The cost and cycle of training are high, and too much loss is not good for anyone.

　　 Of course, if the opponent's strength is insufficient, any commander will grasp all the opponent's military intelligence at any cost, and then set up a perfect ambush circle in a favorable location.

Fortunately, after successive victories, Richard captured a large number of Jade Guardian soldiers. These people are very good scouts. They have greatly enriched his scout team and may not have enough ability to cover the entire battlefield, but he still protects his home court. Not a problem.

　　 Both sides are here to seek a decisive battle. Naturally, they will not engage in hide-and-seek games. Tens of thousands of troops are out. The food and materials consumed every day is an astronomical figure. No matter how thick the family is, it will not be consumed meaninglessly.

　　 Richard can support the main force of 20,000 marching battles, relying on the spoils captured during the siege of the city and the support of the materials in the local warehouse, which is even more embarrassing than the army of the Tufan Kingdom...

　　 Therefore, Songtsen Gambo didn't want to consume it, but Richard couldn't afford it. The two sides hit it off and chose a wide plain to prepare for a decisive battle.

The main forward force of the Turpan Kingdom gathers the essence of the entire army. Naturally, it is not possible that all of them are infantry. Although the Turpan Kingdom is located in a mountainous plateau area, it does not have any horse breeding area. It can still be pulled up by a national search. A cavalry contingent of thousands of people.

　　 In addition, after the Turpan army entered the Western Regions, it expanded its cavalry force by controlling the Western Regions and buying or extorting war horses from the warlords of the Western Regions.

　　As a precious cavalry team, Songtsen Gampo naturally uses it as an absolute main force. All cavalry teams are all in the core main force, which is part of the 30,000 armored soldiers.

　　 Nearly 10,000 of the 30,000 armored soldiers were cavalry with horses, including a separate cavalry regiment of the rushing cavalry, and the Cavalry regiment of the Turpan Guards.

　　 These nearly 10,000 cavalry soldiers are the baby bumps in Songtsen Gambo’s eyes, and they are also his trump cards to control the Richard Cavalry.

　　 In this area of ​​the Western Regions, there are nearly 10,000 cavalrymen who can be regarded as the most important warlords in the entire Western Regions.

The two sides gradually approached during the trial. When they were ten miles apart, Richard and Songtsen Gambo began to extend the main force completely. After tens of thousands of troops were deployed, they occupied more than ten miles of the cross-section of the battlefield. The mountains and plains were densely packed. Head!

As the so-called number is endless, in a battle of this scale, even in a flat area, the commander can’t put his team into his vision at a glance, and must rely on a large number of messengers to maintain control of the entire army. .

　　 This is also the reason why many generals who talk about war on paper are dumbfounded when they get on the battlefield. Planning on the sand table is a completely different concept from stepping on the battlefield in person.

　　 Soon, temporary wooden shelves were erected from the ground. This was built by Richard in order to facilitate his own observation of the battlefield. It is very common to set up temporary command platforms in field operations, unless the coach personally leads troops to charge!

　　 The high command platform allows the coach to collect his own and enemy forces as much as possible. The entire military formation is also arranged around the command platform.

　　 Because there were few people on Richard's side, the army did not spread for more than ten miles like the Tufan Kingdom. Standing on the high platform, Richard still barely had a panoramic view of his army.

　　 On the opposite side, the Tufan army was densely packed with human heads, and spears rose into the sky, slowly approaching here.

　　 In this environment, except for the commander who has the commanding heights vision, the frontline officers and men can't see the enemy's rear at all. In the eyes of the frontline officers and men, the enemy is spreading from the horizon like endless.

　　 Therefore, in the eyes of frontline officers and soldiers, it is difficult to see how big the gap between 10,000 and 100,000 is...

　　 Of course, if you are surrounded, the frontline officers and soldiers will be able to experience the horror of the enemy's strength.

In addition, the strong side can also prepare more reserves, lay out more lines, and form a wider army depth, which can make its own side more stamina during combat and will not be defeated. The whole army is defeated!

For this reason, on the ancient battlefield, the number of people is a huge advantage. Of course, the people here refer to the situation where the quality of the soldiers of the two sides is not very different. If there is a rabble, the number of people will only give the other party heads and heads. Battle exploits...

　　 At the very least, a soldier needs to undergo systematic military training and can be regarded as a real soldier.

　　 When the soldiers leave the ranks of the mob, the number advantage will be truly manifested ~www.wuxiahere.com~ The rest is the time to test the morale and command and dispatch ability of the commander.

　　 However, more than half of Richard's army are soldiers and horses of the system who are absolutely obedient. Even if Richard is only a general from halfway through, he can command very smoothly.

When generals command a large army, the most important thing is to estimate and discipline the strength of each army. If the estimate is too high, the army sent to a certain direction is instantly defeated by the enemy, which will cause a gap in the entire front, or even Ultimately defeated.

　　 If the estimate is too low, it will result in a waste of combat effectiveness, and it is also an act that does not equal the gain.

　　 As for discipline, it is even more indispensable. Discipline is not enough. Even if the commander issues an order, they will delay the battle!

However, for the soldiers and horses of the system headquarters, these are no longer problems. The strict level system and the introduction of arms made Richard fully aware of the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the system soldiers under his command, saving even estimates, and he is always faithful. Morale can also allow system soldiers to execute Richard's various orders perfectly!

　　 As for the uncertain field army, Richard only needs to place them in a fixed position on the front line.

　　 In this way, the field army does not need to be mobilized frequently, and at the same time, it can be the first barrier of the system's soldiers and horses on the battlefield, reducing the loss of the system soldiers.

　　 The first attack of the enemy is definitely when the morale is strongest, so Richard naturally wants to push out the field army to kill the enemy's morale!

　　 This is the main reason why Richard spends a lot of money to raise a large number of officers and soldiers of the field army.
