From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 360: Reconstruction of the Auxiliary Army

The Battle of Shule, which broke out in the Ming calendar month, was a decisive battle that reversed the strategic situation of the Ming and the Ottoman expeditionary forces.

Among them, Mingguo lost almost all of the Revival Army drawn by Richard in the battle, as well as thousands of temporary militia forces formed in the surrounding area of ​​Shule Army Town. The core force of Xiliang Iron Cavalry was completely annihilated, and it will take a year before it can be recovered. Re-raised in the Empire Age System Building.

In other words, within a year, Richard will have no Xiliang Iron Horse to use...

In addition, the Undead Army also suffered heavy losses in this battle, and only more than a thousand grave guards were beaten.

Afterwards, the walking corpses were all absorbed by Genevieve's soul fire and used as a source of magic power. After all, the tens of thousands of walking corpses were not good at fighting, and they needed to consume magic to maintain their survival. The gain was not worth the loss... …

This time the battle gave Genevieve a sense of crisis-the two-headed giant is no longer the invincible existence, and the mana consumed by the injury caused by a shell is more than the sum of the mana consumed by capturing a city before!

If it is a close volley of dozens or hundreds of artillery, it is really possible to take down the two-headed giant on the spot!

Therefore, Genevieve needs to prepare more magic ball reserves to provide for his recovery from the two-headed giant's injury during the war.

Since the defensive power cannot resist the artillery, we can only make up for it in the resilience...

As for the loss of the Ottoman Expeditionary Army, it was of course endless. The 150,000 army went directly to more than half and lost all the artillery.

The field artillery was captured by Richard, and the siege artillery was destroyed by himself...

In other words, the artillery advantage of the two sides has undergone a magical reversal!

In the past, the Ming Army had no artillery, but the Ottoman Expeditionary Army had artillery, but now it’s just turned upside down...

After all, the battle commanded by Euan personally drew on all the artillery carried by the Ottoman Expeditionary Army, and lost everything at once. There is no supplement in the Western Regions. Even if the rear is temporarily increased, the long journey will be at least half a year later. Something...

But the artillery that Richard captured did not bring him much surprise.

After using the artillery to turn the muzzle and bombard the Euan's troops on the battlefield for a while, the artillery shells were almost consumed.

After all, the Ottoman Expeditionary Army had already consumed most of its artillery shells all the way to siege the city and land. The artillery shell reserve itself was very small during the Battle of Shule. After being shot for so long before being captured, naturally there would not be many shells captured by Richard.

However, the greatest effect of this batch of artillery on Richard was not to exert lethality in the war, but to be transported to the rear for the craftsmen of the Ming country to make samples for imitation!

Most of the artillery pieces of the Ottoman Expeditionary Army are obsolete second-hand goods, but here in the Ming State, that is a realist artillery development history!

Even the most outdated and old artillery of the Ottoman Empire is of great reference to the artisans of the Ming Dynasty!

Later, when the Southern Song Dynasty learned that Ming Guo had seized a batch of Ottoman artillery pieces of various eras, his envy and jealous eyes were red. Suddenly, the Southern Song Dynasty sent a large number of spies into Ming country at no cost, just to get a cannon!

The Ottoman artillery available in various era versions greatly reduced the difficulty of imitation by Ming Dynasty craftsmen.

After all, the most advanced three-pound regimental gun is too difficult to imitate compared to the craftsmen who are still in the cold weapon era. With an older version of reference, a step-by-step learning process can be formed and it is easier to master related artillery casting techniques.

Therefore, in addition to leaving more than a dozen easy-to-use three-pound field guns, the rest of the guns were drawn to the rear as samples, and the few remaining ammunition were also used as reference materials for samples and test guns.

However, even if the number of artillery is reduced to a dozen, the captured artillery shells are only enough to fight a battle, not the kind of fierce battle, because the captured ammunition is not enough for a dozen three-pound artillery to fire a few rounds...

However, even though Richard had won the battle, Ming Guo was always in a two-line battle. The main force was still shopping with Greenskins and could not be tuned out. What Richard brought over this time was already at the limit.

During the battle, he even sent out his own guards, and the more than two thousand Ming dynasty frontier troops were all lost in the previous charge...

Today, Richard only has more than 50 Ming dynasty Shenji battalion infantry and more than 900 five army battalion infantry as personal guards.

Of course, there are also 20 innate admirals of the East Factory.

After this battle, Richard discovered that he had not obtained any Qiyun coin. The first Ming Dynasty template was officially declared eliminated. The only thing that still worked was the prestige mission. After completing the prestige mission, he could be promoted to the Ming Dynasty. The highest level of 20 prestige in the system opens up unknown surprises.

All the Qi Luck Coins on the book are all spent, and now I am waiting to defeat Green Skin and complete the prestige task.

The large number of corpses produced in the Battle of Shule provided Genevieve with enough raw materials~www.wuxiahere.com~ to repair the grave guards with severe bone armor defects, and also provided Genevieve with a large number of dead souls as magic power. The source is stored.

And the more than 30,000 prisoners of war were mixed by Richard into a large number of Renaissance Army remnants and veterans of the Shule Army who survived the battlefield to establish an auxiliary army.

In order to recover these 30,000 prisoners of war for their own use, Richard promised them in public that as long as they worked for themselves, they would each get 50 acres of land!

The land is allocated in the occupied area west of Congling!

Anyway, the occupied areas have been slaughtered by the Ottomans and there are fewer people and more land, some of which are deserted fertile fields...

These fertile fields were originally used by the Ottoman Empire to reward meritorious soldiers and subsequent immigrants in this expedition, but they were used by Richard to reward newly formed auxiliary soldiers...

However, Richard made a promise to the prisoners of war with a great victory. These Ottoman prisoners of war have personally experienced the collapse of the main force of the Ottoman expeditionary army, and they are in awe of Richard from the heart.

So they still believe that Richard can achieve this victory.

After all, even the most capable Anatolian legion in the expeditionary army is gone. How long can the Ottoman expeditionary army resist?

The prisoners of war were very aware of the distance between the Ottoman mainland and the Western Regions, and there would be no reinforcements in a short time!

Therefore, in the eyes of the prisoners of war, Richard's promise of their land is still very reliable.

As for serving as a soldier and eating food, this was the job of these prisoners of war. They didn't have much loyalty to the dark elves. Many of the prisoners of war were strong men who were forced to be pulled in the famine area, and now there is no burden in their hearts to change the boss.

It’s just this kind of big-headed soldier who doesn’t have much faith, just to fill his stomach, so it’s so easy to switch camps...

After all, the reward of 50 acres of fertile land is much higher than the reward of the Ottoman Empire!
