Chapter 769: Armament
"Simmons Wright (Pompeii Hughes) meet the lord!"
The Wind Spirit and the Maple Leaf God both bowed down at the feet of Shang Ji and said loudly.
After Guo Jia's persuasion, the two top combat forces in Macao finally "repented" and surrendered to Shang Ji with a clear sense of righteousness.
In fact, it is not possible not to surrender, Shang Ji attaches far less importance to these two people than they themselves expected, and if they really can't eat the ancients, they will pull them out and slaughter them to collect the inheritance.
"Ding, congratulations to the player Shang Ji, Simmons Wright, the god of magic civilization, and Pompeii Hughes, the spirit of the wind, want to recognize you as the master, do you accept it?"
"Accept!"
Lai is also two top-level combat powers, and it is naturally much more cost-effective to be able to surrender alive than to kill and change the inheritance.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, forgive us for our sins against the king!"
The Maple Leaf God is obviously more knowledgeable about current affairs than the Wind Elf, and immediately after recognizing the master, he recognized the situation and began to fart.
And the inherent elves of the wind elves are arrogant, their lips squirm, but they can't open their sycophants.
"Well, the two of you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and the general will be very comforted. Come on, get the blades of the two! ”
After speaking, Shang Ji clapped his hands, and immediately there were guards holding a delicate elven longbow and a red magic staff.
"Thank you, lord!"
Now even the Wind Elf had to say thank you.
"It's just that the things are returned to their original owners, and Xie doesn't have to. As long as you can be faithful! ”
After speaking, Shang Ji pondered for a while and said, "Xiusi, you go to the Sun Shooting Legion, and first make a deputy to General Hansheng." In the future, when the time is right, you will choose a day to rebuild the elven archer army and let you lead the army alone. ”
"Thank you, lord!"
After the wind elf thanked him, he said with some hesitation: "Lord, my subordinates have a reluctant request, and I ask my lord to fulfill it!" ”
"Speak!"
"The subordinates hope to personally recruit the captured clansmen, and then lead the clansmen to serve the lord together."
"Yes, take my warrant to the prisoner of war camp to lead the people, and after receiving the people, go to Hansheng to report! As long as you can do your job faithfully, Ben will guarantee that you will be treated the same! ”
In the previous battle, the Pingzhou army captured almost a thousand elven archers. These elven archers are quite arrogant and resolutely refuse to surrender, and Shang Ji is planning to use the Golden Condor to force the surrender, and the proposal of the wind elf is exactly what Shang Ji wants.
"Thanks to the merciful general!"
At this moment, the expression of the wind elf was much more submissive, and even the sycophants were much smoother.
The Maple Leaf God next to him looked at Shang Ji eagerly, the Maple Leaf Magic Legion was captured by Shang Ji Seven hundred people, almost half of the legion was in the Shang Ji camp, the Maple Leaf God very much hoped that the Wind Elf would be treated with him and continue to lead this group of people.
Shang Ji turned a blind eye to Mage Maple Leaf's expectations, and turned around and said, "Mage Simmons, you can stay with the general for the time being and take on the position of magic advisor!" ”
The Maple Leaf God's expression quickly dimmed, but he quickly regained his spirit, bent down and stroked his chest and said, "Your order, my mission!" ”
Shang Ji dared to let the Wind Elf continue to dominate the remaining elven archers, and that was because he had a Huang Zhong above him. Whether it is personal force or ability to govern the army, Huang Zhong is a steady victory over the spirit of the wind. In this case, if Huang Zhong was overturned by the Wind Elf, then he could wipe his neck and commit suicide.
However, there is no suppression of this level of character in the mage legion, and Shang Ji is definitely not at ease to let the Maple Leaf Magic Legion continue to be handed over to the Maple Leaf God Commander.
Although the Pingzhou Army also has a spellcaster legion composed of nearly a thousand Five Elements Daoists, the hastily formed Five Elements Daoist Legion is obviously inferior to the long-trained Maple Leaf Magic Legion in this aspect of fighting in the Great Legion.
Moreover, the strongest person in the Five Elements Daoist Legion is a disciple of the Huangyang Daoist, but he is also equivalent to a magician of the Great Demon Master (super first-class), and he is far inferior to the Maple Leaf God in terms of experience and combat power.
In fact, even if the people of Huangyang Dao are in person, they may not be stronger than the Maple Leaf Law God in terms of spell-casting attainments. Although the Maple Leaf God did not play any positive role in the war, it was not the fault of the Maple Leaf God, it was really a bit too much for Shang Ji to open this time.
If it is a normal confrontation between the two armies, the Maple Leaf Magic Legion led by the Maple Leaf God is definitely a strategic killer!
After arranging the two of them, Shang Ji ordered to convene the generals to discuss the matter.
"General, although our army won a big victory before, the coincidence factor was too heavy, and the situation is not good for our army now. There are five new giant cities, five large cities, and dozens of small and medium-sized cities, and the area controlled by our army has nearly doubled. However, the total strength of our army has dropped by hundreds of thousands, and the strength is very tight. Although the Australian region has temporarily lost the power to counterattack, in order to prevent the intervention of third parties, the subordinates suggest that they immediately stop expanding and expand their armaments! ”
As soon as the meeting began, Xi Zhicai took the lead in getting up and bluntly pointed out the current predicament of the Shang army.
As Xi Zhicai said, Pingzhou originally had 18 garrison corps, 14 field corps, 13 main battle corps and 4 independent corps, with a total strength of 4.5 million troops.
The eighteen garrison corps could not be moved, and four of the field corps had to be set aside to guard Lequan City, and the mobile forces that Pingzhou could really use were only more than 2 million.
In the previous series of battles, although the Pingzhou army won successive battles, its own damage was not small. Especially in the decisive battle just after entering the Australian area, the Pingzhou Army killed hundreds of thousands of people before and after, including the Silver Dragon Legion, the Lieyang Legion and other main legions were disabled.
So far, the total number of troops that the Pingzhou Army can mobilize in Australia is less than 2 million. With such a small number of troops and such a large area, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is overstretched.
It has been determined that the eastern part of Australia is the Huaxia Zone, but God knows which countries are on the other three sides. In case it is also a mainstream country, once they complete the reunification and march to the Australian area in a big way, it is not good that the merchant will become the sandpiper or mussel in the fisherman's profit.
"What the military advisor said is very true, and the expansion of the army is imminent under the current situation. I just don't know if the military division has expanded the army's abdomen? ”
"In the humble opinion of my subordinates, combined with the current situation, my subordinates believe that we need to expand the garrison corps and field corps, and the main battle corps is not recommended to be expanded for the time being due to objective reasons, but it is necessary to replenish the battle damage in time to ensure the combat effectiveness of the main battle corps."
Shang Ji quickly calculated in his heart, and according to Xi Zhicai's suggestion, at least 3.2 million reserve soldiers would be needed to expand the number to the maximum limit.
After pondering for a while, Shang Ji opened his mouth and asked, "Military Division, is there any difficulty in expanding the army?" ”
"There are two difficulties!"
Xi Zhicai was not polite, and directly stretched out his hand and said: "First of all, the expansion of the army is enough, but there is a serious shortage of high-quality soldiers who meet the requirements. ”
In the previous wars, the Pingzhou Army captured more than 3 million Australian soldiers. And in Kakuki City, there are still more than 900,000 troops who voluntarily surrendered.
But there are some problems in terms of quality, the Australian army is mainly a fourth-order army, and it is not a problem to expand the garrison corps, but it is not qualified to expand to the field corps and the main battle corps. To put it bluntly, the requirements of the Pingzhou Army are too high!
"In addition, the high-quality weapons and equipment of our army are somewhat insufficient. The reserves brought by the general from Pingzhou were almost used in the last round of army expansion. In this military expansion, we are also facing the problem of equipment shortage. ”
Although a large amount of Australian military equipment was captured this time, the equipment of the magical civilization and the equipment of the historical civilization are obviously not the same thing. Especially for special classes, they all need exclusive equipment, which is difficult to swap easily.
After pondering for a while, Shang Ji slowly spoke: "The problem of personnel is still the old way, strengthen training. We won't have any big moves in the near future, training is the first priority, and high-intensity training is enough to make up for the lack of quality.
As for the maintenance problem, Yan Huang will send a large number of craftsmen to come over later, so that Wen Ruo in Lequan can be resettled as soon as possible. In addition, let Robert (because of the dedication of the city, Robert is still the city lord of Kakumu City) quickly arrange for people to build military equipment. The equipment captured from the Australian army can also be adapted as appropriate, and the necessary equipment can be procured as soon as possible. ”
"In addition, if necessary, boldly use some Australian troops or aboriginal generals of the Australian Dead Continent to form troops with the characteristics of magical civilization. Inclusiveness is my Chinese tradition, and this will not be a pedantic person! ”
The complexity of the classes and races in the area of magical civilizations far exceeds that of historical civilizations. There are hundreds of strange races, many of which are powerful fighting races.
Not to mention the elven shooters and dwarven warriors that have already been seen, it is worth mentioning that Shang Ji has encountered before is also worth mentioning the ogre warriors, troll warriors, centaur warriors, minotaur warriors and so on.
These are all arms with quite good combat effectiveness, but the number is too small, as few as one or two hundred, more than thousands, and they are simply unable to form a separate corps, and they cannot change the fate of the defeat of the Australian army.
However, the strong combat effectiveness of these units also left a deep impression on Shang Ji, and the number aside, the single combat power was not inferior to the average water starter of the Pingzhou Main Battle Corps
Even the most mediocre-looking Terran armies have something to offer, with the Demon Swordsman Legion and the Golden Knight Legion all top-notch units that can compete head-on with the Black-Armored Knights. In the magical civilization, the human race can firmly grasp the supremacy position, and it does not simply rely on numerical superiority.
With the title of Alien Ruler, Shang Ji is immune to the negative effects of the mixing of armies of different races to the greatest extent. Moreover, it can greatly reduce the probability of rebellion among foreign generals, and with Guo Jia's humanoid lie detector, the possibility of rebellion by foreign generals is basically eliminated.
"My lord, there will be a suggestion at the end."
Seeing that the general policy of expanding the army had been determined, Zhao Yun couldn't help but get up and say.
"Zilong has any suggestions, please speak up!"
"My lord, military advisor, all robes!"
Zhao Yun first hugged his fist at the people around him, and then said: "In this battle, the battle losses of several main battle legions are quite serious. Whether the main battle corps is fully established or not is related to our army's embarrassment, and the speed of recovery after battle damage is also directly related to our army's long-lasting combat capability. Therefore, the last general suggested that auxiliary corps be formed for the major main battle legions. ”
"Oh? The auxiliary corps of the main battle legion? Zilong elaborate on your thoughts. Shang Ji suddenly became interested when he heard this, and asked with interest.
