Chapter 1189: Split Into Two Groups
Suddenly being called by Su Cheng made Deng Jiaer stunned for a moment.
It was not until Su Cheng had almost finished speaking that Deng Jiaer finally reacted, gave Su Cheng a standard military salute, and said loudly:
"Yes!"
After Deng Jiaer responded, Su Cheng moved his eyes again.
He cast his eyes on the tallest figure among the generals in front of him.
"Gary Langman."
Unlike Deng Jiaer who was slightly confused just now, when Su Cheng called his name, Gary immediately stood up straight, saluted in a standard military salute, and responded loudly:
"Yes!"
"Gary Langman will be the deputy commander of this mixed force."
"The task of blocking the mouth of Zlu will be fully responsible by Deng Jiaer and Gary!"
"Deng Jiaer, Gary. I will transfer 3,000 cavalry from the 1st Army, 6,000 infantry from the 2nd Army, 2,000 Delan Immortal Corps, 1,600 Winged Cavalry Regiment, and 2,400 Armored Warriors to you."
After Su Cheng's voice fell, many people in the venue swallowed their saliva in shock.
Although the total number of troops Su Cheng transferred to Deng Jiaer and Gary was only 15,000, the names of the various troops that made up this mixed army were all very impressive.
Because the North is rich in high-quality horses and northerners are good at riding horses, the cavalry of the Michael Knights has always been known as the "No. 1 Cavalry of the Britannia Empire".
Each army of the Michael Knights has 3,000 cavalry.
Although the number of cavalry in each army is the same, the overall combat effectiveness is different.
The 3,000 cavalry of the 1st Army is recognized by everyone as the strongest cavalry in the entire regiment.
So, in simple terms - the 3,000 cavalry of the 1st Army of the Michael Knights are the elite of the elite across the country.
The 1st Army is stronger than the cavalry, while the 2nd Army is stronger than the infantry.
In terms of the overall combat effectiveness of the infantry, the 2nd Army is firmly above the armies of the Michael Knights.
In addition to transferring the elite infantry and cavalry of the 1st and 2nd Armies to Deng Jiaer and Gary,
even the Delan Undead Corps, the Winged Cavalry Regiment, and the Armored Warriors, which are well-known elite divisions throughout the continent, were also handed over to Deng Jiaer and his men.
Delan Undead Corps - There is no need to elaborate on this unit.
Since its formation, the total strength of Delan Undead Corps has always been around 2,000 people.
Su Cheng generously handed over all of his ace troops to Deng Jiaer and Gary.
The total strength of the Winged Cavalry Regiment was originally 2,000 people. After the fierce battle under the walls of Pendragon West, nearly 400 people were killed and wounded, and its total strength was only 1,600.
In order to support Su Cheng's eastward expedition, the Duke of Connaught, Ron McRudier, generously handed over his Winged Cavalry Regiment, which had only 1,600 people left, to Su Cheng for use.
In addition, Ron also handed over his five senior generals headed by Hans to Su Cheng for his dispatch.
Although these five generals of Hans were only military officers recruited by Ron personally, and they were not even knights, in terms of the command ability of the troops, any knight in the Knights of Michael might be better than Hans and others.
But Hans and others are quite familiar with the Winged Cavalry Regiment.
This is a huge advantage that all the knights in the Knights of Michael cannot compare with.
The reason why Ron handed over the Winged Cavalry Regiment to Su Cheng at the same time as he handed over Hans and others to Su Cheng was to allow the Winged Cavalry Regiment to burst out with stronger power.
The Winged Cavalry Regiment led by Hans and others, and the Winged Cavalry Regiment led by Su Cheng's subordinates - which side can burst out with stronger power?
The answer to this question is obvious.
Su Cheng naturally understands this truth. 666 Literature Network
Therefore, after accepting Ron's generous loan, Su Cheng let Hans and others continue to serve as the commander of the Winged Cavalry Regiment.
He did not change the organization of the Winged Cavalry Regiment, nor did he add his subordinates to it, so that Hans and others could fully exert the full combat power of the Winged Cavalry they were familiar with.
In addition to taking away Ron's Winged Cavalry Regiment, Su Cheng also took away all the armored warriors.
When the Pendragon Defense War was completely victorious, they captured a lot of rebel generals and soldiers.
Among them, the armored warriors alone captured nearly 2,400 people.
There should have been 4,000 armored warriors, and the remaining 1,600 people should have either died on the battlefield or escaped during the war.
Although the armored warriors have the bad record of aiding and abetting the country, the empire is now in need of people.
In order to drive all the Frankish troops in the east back to the east bank of the Rhine, all the forces that can be gathered should be gathered.
Therefore, under Ilsa's amnesty, these 2,400 armored warriors temporarily gained freedom.
But their freedom was not obtained for free.
Follow Su Cheng to the east, if you can achieve good results in the east, you will be pardoned for the felony of treason before - this is Ilsa's promise to the armored warriors.
Thanks to Ilsa's promise, the morale and fighting spirit of the armored warriors are extremely high.
They are all eager to fight to the death with the Frankish army.
Many of the Iron Knights actually had no idea what they were doing before.
Because Allen was their old boss, he had a very high prestige among them.
In addition, the phrase "military orders are hard to disobey" has been deeply engraved in their minds, so they do whatever Alan asks them to do.
Most of the armored warriors don't know that their actions are actually treason...
Inexplicably "betrayed", inexplicably became prisoners, inexplicably charged with treason - these inexplicable things are extremely frustrating for the armored warriors who actually don't want to betray the country at all and don't know what happened before.
Now there is finally an opportunity to wash their names, and they naturally try their best to fight for it.
……
……
When they learned that the troops transferred to their command were all elite divisions in the army, Deng Jiaer and Gary's faces became solemn.
Deng Jiaer and Gary both felt tremendous pressure.
A swordsman was participating in a sword fighting competition. Suddenly, a person he respected very much took out all his wealth to bet on him to win. If the swordsman lost, he would not only lose his reputation, but also the person he respected would go bankrupt. Deng Jiaer and Gary felt the same as the swordsman at this time. It felt like several big stones were filling their chests, and their whole bodies felt several times heavier.
"Deng Jiaer, Gary."
Su Cheng lowered his voice slightly and said to the two of them in a serious tone:
"I will transfer all the troops I can to you."
"Unless the generals of the Frankish army are fools, they will definitely send out a large force to attack you and lift the blockade of Zlukou after learning that Zlukou is blocked by our army."
"That is to say - you who are responsible for blocking Zlukou may face the attack of the Frankish army whose military strength is several times that of yours."
"I will give you two a death order now."
At this point, Su Cheng's tone became more serious.
"Even if the Frankish army that comes to lift the blockade of Zlukou is several times larger than yours, you must not retreat!"
"Block Zlukou at all costs and defeat all enemy forces that come to lift the blockade - this is what I ask of you two."
