The army, logistics, and intelligence are called the three elements of war.

Whether an army is strong or not depends not only on its frontal combat effectiveness, but also on its speed of marching and its durability on the battlefield.

In many cases, the time for the enemy and us to fight on the frontal battlefield is very limited, because most of the time, the enemy's and our armies are either confronting each other or on their way to the confrontation.

In a large-scale war, because the defender has geographical and city advantages, it is difficult for the attacker to break through the defender's position in a short period of time.

So in many cases, the attacking army will be divided into many groups.

In addition to the main army that is responsible for containing the enemy on the frontal battlefield, other armies are generally assigned to some combat missions deep behind enemy lines.

For example, go to the enemy's rear to cut off the enemy's logistics supply line, or block the channel the enemy wants to support, intercept the enemy's reinforcements behind, or simply go to the enemy's rear to carry out various harassment and destruction, in order to disturb the enemy's military morale.

Under normal circumstances, those who perform these missions deep behind enemy lines are usually cavalry or light infantry with superior mobility.

Because fighting deep behind enemy lines is a very dangerous thing. When the enemy and we are evenly matched in strength, if you are not careful, the army that goes deep behind enemy lines may be surrounded and eaten by the enemy.

Therefore, if you want to complete the mission deep behind enemy lines, mobility is essential.

...

In modern society, people often say that time is money.

In the era of cold weapons, for an army, time is likely to directly determine the outcome of a war.

Because when both the enemy and ourselves want to occupy the same strategic location, the side that reaches the target location first will often have an absolute advantage, so the marching speed of an army is crucial.

In the era of cold weapons, the most important reason why the cavalry was king was that the cavalry had the strongest mobility on land.

In addition to being able to cover the same distance in the shortest time with strong maneuverability, you can also take advantage of the enemy's time difference in intelligence to directly catch the enemy off guard.

In this regard, the most convincing example is the blitzkrieg launched by cavalry.

Facing the cavalry that came and went without a trace,

Unless you also have a cavalry regiment under your command, once you encounter a large-scale guerrilla war launched by the enemy's cavalry, you will find that you can't do anything.

Because before your order has been conveyed to the designated location, the enemy's cavalry has already changed the target of the attack.

So if you want to deal with a smart cavalry, you either have a cavalry that can compete with it, or you can only build defenses in advance.

Once the enemy's cavalry is discovered to be invading, beacon fires will be lit immediately and everyone in the rear will be notified to hide in strong fortifications and defend to the death.

After the Condor Empire occupied the entire Mongolian Plateau, there was no shortage of war horses in the army.

It can be said that as long as Ning Yuan is willing, the cavalry regiment of the Condor Empire can expand indefinitely. There is no way, there are only so many war horses.

However, horses are generally suitable for riding by high-level creatures of normal size such as humans and elves, such as bear-men and tauren, who are tall orcs with large horses. Ordinary war horses really cannot withstand their strength. Huge weight.

So even if the Condor Empire has inexhaustible war horse resources, for those powerful orc soldiers, they can only wait and see.

There is no way, their weight is too great, no matter how high-quality the horses are, they cannot bear their huge bodies, so they are destined to be infantry in this life.

Although most of the orcs are good at walking and have outstanding endurance.

But no matter how fast the infantry moved, they were as slow as a snail compared to the cavalry.

For example, a one-hundred-kilometer journey may take an hour or two for cavalry, but for infantry, they may have to walk for a whole day.

As the absolute main combat arm in cold weapon warfare, infantry is indispensable in many cases.

After all, cavalry is only good at fighting in the wilderness. Once it encounters steeper terrain or solid fortifications, it must rely on infantry to attack the enemy.

In many large-scale wars, the cavalry is often used as a vanguard to test the strength of the enemy. The battles that truly determine the outcome often require the infantry and cavalry regiments to fight together.

So no matter how fast your cavalry regiment is, if you want to truly occupy the enemy's land, you have to wait for the infantry regiment to follow up, because only the infantry regiment can attack the enemy.

In the defensive battle around the Rainbow Bridge that had just ended, Ning Yuan deeply felt the importance of the infantry regiment and their disturbing marching speed.

Although the final winner of that battle was the Condor Empire, that battle was the most thrilling battle that Ning Yuan had fought in so many years.

Because it was not until the final stage of the war that the situation on the battlefield gradually became clear.

If the marching speed of the orc infantry legions of the Condor Empire could be faster at that time, then Xiangyang City could be captured faster, and the main legions of the Condor Empire could support the Rainbow Bridge battlefield faster, and Ningyuan over there There is no need to fight so hard.

So although Ning Yuan finally won the battle, and he took advantage of the situation to directly unify the entire China, he was always worried about the speed of the army's support.

In ancient China, there was a professional unit called dragoon.

The so-called dragoons are infantry on horseback.

In order to improve the mobility of the infantry legions, the rulers directly equipped the elite infantry with the best war horses.

During the march, the dragoons rode on their horses just like real cavalry.

During battle, they would dismount their horses and form formations, transforming into infantrymen again to fight.

In an era when cavalry was a treasure, few rulers would waste precious horse resources on infantry, so dragoons rarely appeared at that time.

However, for the Condor Empire, war horse resources are very abundant.

Not to mention equipping some elite infantry with war horses, even equipping all infantry with one war horse is more than enough.

With Ning Yuan's character of loving soldiers as his own son, he would definitely not be stingy about opening up war horse resources to the infantry regiment.

Facts have also proven this. Many infantry regiments of the Condor Empire have war horses specially used for traveling.

It's just that most of these infantry legions are human legions and elven legions, and the orc legions and barbarian legions are not included in this group.

There is no other reason. The size and weight of powerful orcs and barbarians simply cannot ride those ordinary war horses.

For those barbarians who were loyal to him, Ning Yuan once considered using the ice and fire moose on Ice and Fire Island to form a barbarian cavalry.

Unfortunately, compared with the war horse, the ice and fire moose had many obvious shortcomings. In the end, the plan was stillborn before it was officially launched.

After that, Ning Yuan came up with many plans, such as building carriages for orcs and barbarians specifically for traveling. In this way, they can save a lot of energy and travel more roads. .

Although it was very luxurious to equip an army with carriages for marching, it was not a big deal for the wealthy Ning Yuan.

However, not long after the carriage plan was launched, Ning Yuan stopped it because of a huge shortcoming.

Although horse-drawn carriages are much faster than normal walking, they have very strict requirements on roads.

Once the road is uneven or there is no road at all, riding a carriage will not only not save time, but will also cause considerable suffering.

Ningyuan equipped the soldiers with carriages for the journey. The essential purpose was to allow the soldiers to get a better rest.

When the carriage bumps constantly due to the road, the soldiers will only suffer on the carriage. In this case, it is better to let them walk on the ground than to let them ride in the carriage.

After the carriage plan was dropped by Paz, Ning Yuan could not think of any other solution for a while.

Just when Ning Yuan was about to put this issue aside for the time being, he accidentally saw the first bicycle he had seized from Jun Moxie.

After seeing the bulky bicycle placed on the exhibition stand as a trophy, Ning Yuan suddenly smiled as if he had seen a new world.

Considering the height and weight of the barbarians and those powerful orcs, Ning Yuan knew that ordinary bicycles would definitely not be able to withstand their troubles, so he directly made the drawings of human-powered bicycles taller, wider, and stronger.

Finally, when Ning Yuan completed the complete drawing of a bicycle suitable for riding by barbarians and powerful orcs, he suddenly realized that this was not a bicycle at all. It was simply a motorcycle without an engine.

The weight of a motorcycle is much greater than that of a bicycle. For ordinary people, even pushing it is very strenuous, let alone pedaling on the two huge pedals.

However, for barbarians and powerful orcs who are not normal people, the weight of the motorcycle should not be a big problem. After all, their own strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.

If he can really build a human-powered motorcycle in the game that does not use an engine, then barbarians and powerful orcs will no longer have to walk hard.

Just do it as soon as you think of it, and soon Ning Yuan took the drawings he drew to find the top craftsmen of the Condor Empire for discussion.

Facing the big guy Ning Yuan drew, the dwarf craftsmen said that as long as there was enough steel, they could make as many of these stupid-looking iron frames as Ning Yuan wanted.

However, they were only able to build an iron frame. As for the two pulleys under the iron frame, they were unable to do anything because the pulleys required by Ning Yuan were neither wooden nor solid rubber, but divided into inner and outer straps. Rubber tires.

Although Ning Yuan once taught the craftsmen how to make rubber tires, due to the lack of many corresponding tools, the craftsmen could only use molds to make the simplest solid rubber tires.

Solid rubber tires are indeed much stronger than wooden and iron wheels, but they are also very heavy.

After it is installed on a bicycle, the increased weight will seriously affect the riding efficiency of the cyclist. Most people will lose their physical strength after riding for a while.

Wheels in the real world are divided into rims, inner tubes and outer tires.

The inner tube is a circular elastic tube with a valve. When in use, air needs to be injected into the inner tube through the valve to inflate the inner tube.

After returning to Shending City and arranging some basic work, Zhang Wei attracted Huang Zhong's attention again. Zhang Wei has offended many players now. In order not to be recognized by the players, he specially disguised himself and selected thirty guards with high martial arts skills before he dared to go to Wancheng.

After leaving the teleportation array, the guards had already prepared the carriages and horses. After getting on the carriages and horses, the group went directly to the Huang Mansion.

In the Huang Mansion, a young man with a sallow complexion was lying quietly on the bed. Next to him, a girl in her twenties was carefully wiping the sweat from his face. Huang Zhong looked at the young boy with a face as golden as paper and weak breathing, and his heart was as sharp as a knife. twist.

His wife died early, leaving him with a son and a daughter. His son had been frail and sick since he was a child, and now he is even more terminally ill. He invited countless famous doctors to diagnose and treat him, but they were unable to do anything. Later, a miracle doctor told him that this was a congenital terminal disease. , only the legendary miracle medicine can bring his youngest son back to life, but where can he, a little captain, go to find the legendary miracle medicine?

All he can do now is stay with his son every day and accompany him on the final journey. Just as he was sighing, the housekeeper came to report that the Marquis of Zhenhai had come to visit him.

Huang Zhong stayed at home every day, so he didn't know who the Marquis of Zhenhai was. However, since he was a Marquis, he didn't dare to neglect him and ordered someone to invite him into the living room first, and he would arrive soon after.

Zhang Wei sat in the living room and looked around boredly. After a while, Huang Zhong rushed over.

Huang Zhong is about 1.8 meters tall and looks to be in his thirties or forties. His eyes are bloodshot and his face is full of sadness. It seems that he has not had a good rest for a long time.

The situation was special, so Zhang Wei and Huang Zhong exchanged a few polite words and then went straight to the topic. Huang Zhong was overjoyed when he heard that the Marquis of Zhenhai had come specifically to treat his youngest son, and led Zhang Wei to Huang Xu's room.

After Zhang Wei sent everyone out of the room, he slowly came to Huang Xu. He was curious about what kind of disease Huang Xu had, and it couldn't be cured without magic medicine. After using the Eye of Truth on Huang Xu, his attributes indeed contained a description of his condition.

Status: The oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry - the innate inexhaustible pulse. Innate inexhaustible veins are growing every day. It continues to absorb energy from the host. As it continues to grow, it requires more and more energy. With innate inexhaustibility, People with weak pulses have been weak and sick since childhood, and few survive to adulthood.

Zhang Wei has seen the introduction of this disease in Shen Nong Yao Jing. This is a congenital meridian disease. The fetus's meridians are not fully developed in the mother's body and are congenitally deficient after birth. People call this bell meridian the innate terminal meridian. Instinctively absorb energy to supplement yourself
