Chapter 750 (1/2)
With the autumn after midsummer, the cool cold wind has swept the whole green sea in advance.
After completing the assembly of Qianzhang City, relying on the migration of horseback people led by Da Boyi and the army directly under the central government led by Da Boyi, Archduke Laslo Varna successfully assembled 100000 elite Hussars and began a huge March to Da Boyi occupied by centaurs along the ancient grassland and river course of the big green sea.
In addition, in order not to let this March repeat its mistakes, but also to completely kill the Centaurs and drive them back to the Centaur Gobi, Duke Varna specially reassigned count Seth braha to Pobo Yiling to mobilize local vassals.
The Varna family, which has served as Archduke for three generations in succession, has completely surpassed Jonah of daboi; With full mobilization, at least 100000 horseback people can be recruited to participate in the war.
In a short week, 100000 Hussars have been divided into three routes, successively sweeping the important grassland in daboyi, and attracting more Nomadic Settlements scattered in the previous battle to join. While supplementing logistics, the army is also further growing.
Vast and mighty, block out the sky and the sun!
Such a huge army, in addition to expanding the momentum of Archduke Varna's March, is not all good.
The first is the management of the army - in addition to 40000 Hussars directly under the central government, Archduke Varna's army is mostly horseback people led by daboi, who do not fully obey the Archduke's orders;
What Laszlo Varna can do is to divide them into several parts to manage according to the way of hunting; This is also the custom of the Boyi people. Hunting is war, and war is hunting.
In addition, although there are supply lines provided by Qianzhang city and Bain, and the Boyi people have the custom of herding with the army, water is always scarce on the vast grassland.
This is also why ancient wars had the rule of ”separate advance and attack together”; If they do not do so, a large number of troops will die of thirst and starvation, and even there is a risk of outbreak of plague because of dense and poor living conditions.
Of course, all these problems are only small problems for Archduke Varna, not even problems.
Compared with the situation in other principalities where wars are rare all year round and the mobilized troops are often only thousands or 12000, the Boyi people who have been fighting and hunting all year round have rich experience in large-scale Corps operations; Hundreds of thousands of horseback people come and go at once.
Not only did he fight at home, Boyi in the ancient kingdom often went south with tens of thousands of horseback people to help Byrne fight the dwarves; In the sixth generation of the Empire, Duke Jonah waved and immediately 100000 Hussars went north on an expedition to duanjie mountain.
The long rule gave Archduke Varna the prestige to surpass other dukes, withstand the pressure of the Lord's resistance, let Boyi follow the Imperial military system to reform, and establish an elite standing army and a huge conscription army.
In addition, horseback people are better at supporting the war than farmers. He can even recruit one out of three!
Therefore, Archduke Varna was different from the Archduke Boyi of previous dynasties. He was not afraid of the Centaur to fight him with all his strength; Even hope that their enemies can be ”stupid” to take the initiative to send them to the door, and then be eaten by themselves.
Even if the Centaur is savage, burly and strong, it can't be the opponent of well-trained and well-equipped silver armor cavalry and the large-scale boa Hussars who are used to fighting.
When the number of people is small, individual bravery may be able to turn the war around; But when the number of troops participating in the war reaches tens of thousands or even tens of thousands, discipline and training are the odds of victory!
With 40000 elite standing armies, 60000 valiant hussars, and a steady stream of horseback people who came to take refuge after entering daboi's territory, Archduke Varna had already more than 100000 troops under his command.
When the army led by Xiao Boyi in the rear gradually comes to meet, his army will be no less than 250000, or even 300000!
Such a huge total force scale gave Archduke Varna sufficient confidence to annihilate the Centaur in one fell swoop - even if the other party poured all the troops of the eight Centaur flag Department, it could not be more than himself.
But there has never been such a good thing as ”everything goes well” in this world.
After the front-line army swept several meadows with great momentum, except for a small group of Centaur Rangers, they met almost no enemies, almost no enemies and resistance.
At first, Laszlo Varna thought it was a trap set by the enemy to relax his vigilance; As a result, after successively recapturing and even controlling more than half of the Boyi collar, he was convinced that this was by no means a complete set.
