King’s Kingdom - Chapter 284
During this period, some tactics may be mixed, but in the end, the soldiers of both sides are entangled like meat grinders, fighting each other.
But if he can have such a group of mobile troops in his hand, he can let these steppe hussars interspersed into his country from the beginning, attacking various transportation hubs, breaking their logistics supply system, and preventing their food from being delivered to the front line. , at that time, it only needs to delay for a few days, even if the enemy does not collapse, the initiative of the war will fully fall on the side of the Lanyin Kingdom.
Whether they wanted to go to war before they ran out of food, or they wanted to withdraw for supplies, or whatever other decision they made, Theodosius could do whatever he wanted, and by that time, no matter what, he would have More ways to make enemies more uncomfortable.
April 15, 869 in the Hilkati calendar.
Today is the day the army goes out.
The four first-class military regions in the north have already gathered outside the city of New Lanyin and are stationed with the Central Military Region.
The five infantry divisions consisted of more than 7,200 men, more than 800 Varangian Guards, 1,000 steppe hussars, 502 knights, 4,500 archers, a total of 10,000 Four thousand people, fully armed, gathered outside New Lanyin City.
In the room, Theodosius stood in front of the door holding a long sword, and Critidos and two maids were helping Theodosius to put on the armor.
In addition to the underwear, an armed suit made of eight layers of fabric is worn on the body, and the outer layer of the armed suit is a set of hooded full-body chain armor, weighing 22 kilograms, made of ordinary steel. Otherwise, given his size, a full-body chain armor made of one-third fine gold would have to weigh at least 30 kilograms.
After putting on the full-body chain armor and tying the fixed belt, Critidos came to a set of full-body tie armor lining the leather armor, and with the help of the maid, greeted Theodosius in parts.
The iron armor weighs 68 kilograms naked, and after the leather armor is lined, the weight reaches an astonishing 78 kilograms. With only two sets of armor on his body, the weight has reached 100 kilograms.
Afterwards, the boots with armor pieces and the fine gauntlets were all worn. Finally, there was a throat armor that protected the neck and chest and overlapped with the chest reinforcement armor.
“I’m leaving, you’re fine at home, wait for me to come back, I’ll ask you here!” Theodosius smiled at Kritidos, and was about to push the door and leave.
“Be careful!”
In the past, Critidos didn’t know what hypocrisy was, but now her personality has changed a lot. Although she can’t see it on the surface, she can still say a few words of exhortation.
“Understood, don’t worry!” Theodosius waved his hand, pushed the door and walked out.
When her husband went out, Kritidos stood there without saying a word, then returned to the bed, and the whole room fell into silence.
Theodosius carried a two-handed sword made of a large amount of fine gold, and with Vico who had been waiting at the door and a large group of personal retinues, he walked mightily towards the outside of the palace.
In the palace, everyone has already learned that today is the day of the expedition, so the atmosphere is very solemn, no one dares to make a loud noise, everyone stands in place, watching their king leave.
After walking out of the gate of the palace, I saw dozens of war horses **** here, and a dozen grooms hurriedly kneeled to greet the king when he brought people here.
Theodosius walked in front of his warhorse. This was a group of excellent warhorses with a height of 2.6 meters. Even among the iron-boned horses, they stood out from the crowd. Generally speaking, the height of iron-boned horses is two meters. Five or so.
Stroking the strong warhorse that was a head taller than himself, Theodosius put his face on it, patted it a few times, and then turned over and jumped on the horse’s back.
In fact, in this step, the groom should kneel on the ground as a pedal, and let Theodosius step on the horse.
However, Theodosius’ weight is now completely out of line with normal humans. In addition to being thick and tall, muscle density, bone density, and visceral strength are stronger.
Now his weight has reached 250 kilograms (Hafubo, who plays the magic mountain, is 2.05 meters tall and weighs 205 kilograms), and then puts on a suit of armor that weighs more than 110 kilograms and holds 8 kilograms. The two-handed sword, the weight of nearly 800 pounds can really trample the groom to death.
That is to say, this iron-boned horse is as powerful as a monster, otherwise an ordinary war horse would not be able to support the terrifying weight of Theodosius no matter what.
What’s more, this iron-boned horse had to wear a heavy horse armor of more than 100 kilograms, and Theodosius himself had to run fast with a weight of nearly half a ton on his back.
But after Theodosius got on the horse, such a terrifying weight was on him, his mount lacked as if he could not feel the weight, he still snorted lightly, and even flipped his front hooves twice, as if he wanted to run. .
Theodosius patted his neck and calmed the male beast weighing more than a ton, waiting for the others to mount.
Soon, dozens of personal guards mounted on the war horses, and Vico was holding a 5.4 meter long lance.
Since Theodosius’ height has skyrocketed again and his physical fitness has been further strengthened, his previous lance length is somewhat insufficient.
Of course, this is not strictly enough, but the length of the lance is further strengthened, and it will not affect his degree of control.
Without any influence, it is natural to make as long as it takes~www.mtlnovel.com~ So after many experiments, Theodosius replaced the original 3.9m iron gun with the current one. The 4.8-meter iron, plus the 60-centimeter fine gold spearhead, is exactly 5.4 meters long.
After counting the gun barrel, the weight of the entire lance reaches 38 kilograms, which is just right for Theodosius. It is difficult, after all, this thing can not only be counted as weight, if you give him a 36 kg iron rod, it will be no problem, but after all, this gun is too long, and a lot of weight is distributed on the front end, which is not easy to grasp.
Of course, in addition to strength, his height also has a huge impact on the length of the lance. Otherwise, if the strength is only increased, but the height does not increase, he will not be able to use the 5.4 meter lance, because His wingspan determines that he can no longer flexibly use weapons of this length on horseback. His two-meter-five wingspan and strong physical strength have long since developed this unparalleled weapon.
Fortunately, Vico’s physical fitness is also quite good, otherwise it would be a big burden for him to ride with such a heavy weapon.
Only listen to Theodosius softly: “Drive!”
The iron-boned horse under his crotch trotted, and it seemed that it was carrying nearly half a ton of weight without feeling the pressure at all, not even panting.
