Chapter 543 [Great Victory of the Luodun Plain]

"So, Panin won this battle?"

In the world-famous castle in Loulan City, in the warm study, Du Weiwei stood by the fireplace, staring at the burning fire, picked up a piece of firewood and threw it in, and asked in a low voice.

Standing next to Du Weiwei was the middle-aged nobleman.

"Panin really won this battle."

Du Wei sighed slightly: "Although with Panin's ability, winning a battle cannot be considered too unexpected... but I am still very curious about how he won."

"Panin has been in Nulin Province for half a year, and the biggest thing he has done is to rectify his arms.

After taking over the military affairs of the Nulin Province, he did something that everyone was shocked. He broke up the troops of the two divisions of the original Thunder Whip. He drew out the two cavalry regiments that were originally directly under the two divisions, and added the personal guard cavalry battalions of the division generals of the original two divisions, and formed the elite cavalry alone. The temporary number was called the First ** Cavalry Regiment.

This ** cavalry regiment is a reinforced regiment, which consists of two cavalry regiments of the original Thunder Whip and the personal guard cavalry battalions drawn by various generals, with a force of about 4,000."

The middle-aged man said slowly in a very careful tone: "In addition, the local garrison troops on the second line, as well as the original logistics and supplies troops, drew all the horses, and used the elite backbones selected from the second line garrison troops to form a cavalry unit. The elite level of this cavalry unit is naturally far from the one mentioned. But after all, it was the elite troops selected from the local garrison troops in the second line, and its combat effectiveness is relatively weak.

The temporary number of this cavalry regiment is the Third Cavalry regiment. The force is about two thousand."

Speaking of this, the tone of the middle-aged nobleman was a little funny: " Speaking of which, these actions of Panin once aroused the opposition of the generals under his command. After all, the cavalry are elite in the army. Especially Panin forced the generals to contribute all their personal guards, which was equivalent to cutting off other people's flesh. But all this was done by him under Panin's iron fist.

In order to gather more than 7,000 cavalry teams, almost all the people who could fight on horseback in his army were removed. Even when he was nervous, only the messengers could maintain their horse mounts in the northwest war zone controlled by Panning. In other troops, no one could find horseback riding people, all of them were infantry."

Du Weiwei frowned. After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "Even if he has tried his best to get his family's assets, the seven thousand cavalry he has collected can be used - well, I admit that the elite combat power of Thunder Whip is still very good. The Thunder Whip failed to block me at the beginning, purely because their commander was scared by me, the combat power of the army is still very good.

But even so... seven thousand cavalrymen fought on the plains, even if they were ambushing and caught the grassland people off guard... it would be difficult to get such a great victory."

"Yes. According to the news I received, there is another key to Panin's victory. What I told you just now is that the two cavalry teams under him, the First ** Cavalry Regiment and the Third Cavalry Regiment."

Du Wei nodded: "Well, with the first and third, then there must be a second cavalry regiment?"

"Yes." The middle-aged nobleman smiled bitterly: "In fact, we have not received much information about this Second Cavalry Regiment. Now we only know that this Second Cavalry Regiment is composed of Panin's own personal guard cavalry unit."

"Even if he is a duke, how long has his new duke been? How long can there be so many elite cavalry guards? It's better to have hundreds of people. How could there be so many cavalry regiments?"

"It's true. I heard that Panin formed the Second Cavalry Regiment with his own direct cavalry team. The number of people has never exceeded eight hundred. The most accurate guess we have obtained is that the number is about six hundred to eight hundred."

"Between six hundred and eight hundred...that's just a strengthening camp."

"Yes, but the combat effectiveness of this strengthening battalion played a key role in this battle!"

"You don't know! I'm afraid that guy Ning is so amazing!!"

Ade sat on the chair, gasped, picked up a cup of tea, and gusted two gulps, swallowing all the tea and tea leaves into his stomach, smacked his lips, and quickly continued: "He has a cavalry unit under him, all of which are Panning's own personal guards. This cavalry unit is known as the Second Cavalry Regiment, but its actual force is only more than 700. But these cavalry of more than 700 people are really amazing!

As you told me, I have been working as a liaison officer in Panning. I am the position of "military observer" you mentioned. To be honest, I really don't know what to do. Anyway, I only have one. When Panning walks there, I will follow him. What kind of war is Panning, I must watch him fight.

This battle is simply amazing!!”

Ade said it was so spitting...

...

…………

Next, according to Ade's description, Chen Daolincai had a rough understanding of this ambush in the Lodon Valley.

Panning deliberately replaced a group of second-line garrison troops on the defense line of the Rodon Valley to show their weakness, deliberately letting the grassland people break through the defense line at this point, and actively expose a big flaw in its originally complete western defense line. The grassland people's cavalry troops finally got a dream breakthrough.

And behind this torn hole is a flat area that seems to be very suitable for grassland people to fight!

The flat area, which is thirty miles long, is enough to allow the iron hooves of the grassland people to fight.

This bait is not afraid that the grassland people will not take the bait!

In fact, the grassland people have indeed taken the bait.

The Grasslanders broke through the defense line of the Roton Valley in the morning. In order to prevent the Roland army from counterattacking, the Grasslanders did not make any delays and quickly crossed the defense line and the army went deeper.

This thirty-mile-long small plain of river valley is enough for grassland people to swallow bait.

At about noon, more than 30,000 cavalry from the grassland people entered the Lodon Valley.

The most important thing is that the grassland cavalry that entered the Roton Valley are all directly affiliated with the royal court of the grassland king!

In other words, this cavalry is the most powerful army among the various tribes of the grassland. The king's army of the grassland king.

The grassland is still a tribal system, and there is no so-called concept or system of the central government army. Every tribe of all sizes has its own people. The so-called king's royal court of the grassland king is just the most powerful tribe. Because of its strong soldiers and horses, other tribes can surrender and regard him as king.

The king of the grassland king has the direct military force. It is said that the king's tribe controls 100,000 strings - this is of course an exaggerated statement, but there are definitely 60,000 or 70,000 cavalrymen.

For other tribes on the grassland, if a single tribe has 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry, it is already considered a top-notch big tribe.

Therefore, the military strength of the king's prairie king's court was enough to make other tribes surrender, which was the biggest reason why he could sit firmly on the throne.

In the previous battle, the cavalry team of the King of the Prairie King's head of the attack on the Roton Valley was naturally the main direction of the Prairie people's attack, and the reason was naturally behind the defense line of the Roton Valley. The thirty-mile-long valley plain!

In the concept of grassland people, who can break through the defense line here? Then after entering the thirty-mile-long plain, you will naturally drive straight in and look at vegetables. This is a good thing, the grassland king of course left to his own royal court headquarters.

In fact, things are also going on.

The grassland people are moving forward very quickly.

In the afternoon, more than 30,000 cavalry poured in from this opening and entered the thirty-mile valley plain that they believed was the "land of victory".

Here I want to talk about the terrain of this Lodon Valley plain, which is very interesting.

From the map, this is a very interesting terrain like a cookie.

It looks like the word "three".

The top horizontal line is the Lodon River, which is not too wide.

The horizontal line in the middle is equivalent to this plain, about thirty miles long. The widest place is five or six miles, similar to a flat area with irregular long strips.

The bottom horizontal line is a typical loess hilly terrain in the northwest. The loess hillside with intertwined teeth is located on the northwest wilderness. The terrain is complex and rugged. Most of the places are various large and small loess hills. The mountain roads are winding and twisting, which are not suitable for the army to fight.

After the 30,000 royal cavalry of the grassland people rushed into the valley plain, they advanced all the way east, with a fierce momentum - after all, they had just wiped out the defense line in front of the Roland Valley.

And just around three o'clock in the afternoon, the grassland people were ambushed by Panin for a long time.

Panin's attack is very interesting.

At the top, he arranged a fleet!

Yes, it's right, it's indeed a fleet!!

The northwest is a water shortage place, but Panin has set up a fleet of ships in the northwest!!

This fleet is not large in size, with only more than a dozen small and medium-sized ships.

This fleet descended from the upper reaches of the Lodon River, and the ships were civilian ships and even small merchant and fishing boats found by Panin from the Lancang Canal and the eastern part of the Nourin Province!

These ships were formed into a team by him and drove to the Lodon River. There were not many soldiers on the ship, but they were loaded with many weapons.

The crossbow, the long-range longbow, and even a few relatively large ships, Panning actually sent people to load a small stone catapult!

It is said that this small stone catapult is assembled and is the latest product of the Dishi Academy in recent years and has not been mass-produced.

This fleet, on the Lodon River, began an invasive attack by the grassland team on the plains on the opposite bank.

Bows, arrows, crossbows...

This plain was originally long, with the widest place only six miles, and the narrowest place only two or three miles... Two or three miles, only one or two thousand meters, so there is almost no need to consider the range of the crossbow and longbow.

The grassland people who marched on the shore were attacked from the water.

This is a headache for people in the grassland.

The grassland people lack long-range and heavy weapons... No, to be precise, it is not to lack, but not! At least this cavalry does not... Their combat purpose is to advance east as soon as possible, to ensure the powerful maneuver of the cavalry. Where can they carry heavy and long-range weapons?

The result is... the grassland cavalry on the shore stopped fighting, but they had no way to fight back!

Panin's fleet of surprise troops fought happily on the water, and rushed toward the heads of the grassland people walking on the shore.

This brought a large degree of chaos to the grassland people - the situation of being beaten and unable to fight back, which made the grassland people a little helpless.

After all, they can't ride war horses and swim into the river to fight.

Use the fleet on the water to attack the invading grassland people, delaying their progress and bringing chaos to them.

Panin's fleet was very bad. The grassland people ran on the shore, and they followed them all the way on the water. They ran and fought all the way.

Such an attack arrived around the evening!

It's northwest, and it's winter, and it's dark very early.

At about four or five o'clock, the sun had basically set.

At this time, the fleet on the water began to use small stone catapults to project a firearm into the ranks of grassland people on the shore!

It was a kind of gunpowder jar, a black pot, when thrown out, it was like a bomb, landing on the ground, and the gunpowder exploded.

To be fair, this kind of thing looks a bit scary, but its lethality is actually limited.

But I can't stand it's already night!

On a dark night, the light was already dim, and I saw a buzzing fire pot from the head of the stone throng, and there were fires everywhere.
To be continued...
