    Section 4 Battle of Haisha Port (Part 1)

    "Reporting to the Baron, Bertand's army has set off, with nearly a thousand people. It is expected to arrive at Haisha Port within an hour." The light cavalry quickly conveyed the detective's information through the messenger in the meeting hall of the hall.

    Lin Fenghan looked at the officials and generals below with a stern expression, and said seriously: "Gentlemen, the most serious moment is coming. There is not much time left for us to prepare. Put aside politics first, I want to talk about it in detail.  Let¡¯s talk about the specific strength of our current army and the number of militiamen recruited.¡±

    Corland stood up bravely and said loudly: "Baron, we still have one hundred and thirty-seven Guards soldiers and fifty-two Guards cavalry."

    Platt touched his snow-white beard under his forehead, frowned and knocked on the table and said: "There are currently 347 soldiers in the Haisha Port garrison camp, including 50 cavalry and more than 200 navy soldiers.  . What a pity! The Elantes fleet has already gone out to deal with the Duke's fleet, otherwise there would still be two hundred soldiers gathered."

    Hapu looked bitterly at the people around the round table and said in a low voice: "There are one hundred and twenty security guards in Haisha Port Town, and there are more than thirty private soldiers in my mansion. If we urgently recruit citizens, we can gather them together  Three hundred to five hundred militiamen"

    "Oh!" Motel coughed lightly, looked at Hapu and said with dazzling eyes: "I heard that you are doing well in maritime trade, and some pirates have given you some stolen goods to handle, and there is also a small business outside.  There must be more than thirty guards and private soldiers!"

    "Butler! I was wrong. My private soldiers totaled 192 people. They are all around my mansion now." Hapu depressedly picked up his handkerchief and wiped his cold sweat, and said with a frown.

    Lin Fenghan shook his eyebrows, smiled softly, and said loudly: "Uncle, it seems that you are living a good life here! There are nearly two hundred private soldiers. The Elant family has raised you for so many years, and now the time to repay the family is coming. Send them immediately.  Send word from my trusted aides to assemble the troops in the center of the town square, where I will reorganize them.¡±

    After a pause, Lin Fenghan looked at the officials with all his energy, and said seriously: "Although the Duke's army is elite, our strength cannot be underestimated. I have decided, now while Bertand despises us,  Do you agree with fighting a defensive war with him?"

    Pulet stood up solemnly, looked at Lin Fenghan, and after a while, he said seriously: "Little Yilan, you have grown up. It seems that your father has taught you a lot about war. I want to tell you now.  The most important thing is that most of the last information of the Elant family is here. If it fails, it will be difficult for the Elant family to rise again. I hope you can take this war seriously, and I will be by your side to assist you until victory."

    "We agree too!" Everyone looked at Pulet and expressed their opinions one after another.

    "Uncle Pulet, thank you." Lin Fenghan looked at the nearly sixty-year-old man who was still sticking to his post, his glasses moistened and he said.

    "Haha! Kid, I'm very optimistic about you, come on. The most important part of victory lies in Hapu. I will send troops now to firmly control his cronies and family. Don't be soft at the critical moment. Let's go and talk while walking.  I want to test your military accomplishments to see if you are qualified to be a commander." Pulet smiled slightly and took Lin Fenghan's hand and walked forward.

    Along the way, Lin Fenghan¡¯s understanding of the military was gradually integrated with the tactical experience of total war in the earth world and the war system and format of this world, and his understanding of the military gradually deepened.  War in this world is in the era of cold weapons and aristocracy, which is similar to the era of cold weapons on earth. An army ranges from a few hundred to 10,000 people.  The army has unique combat units at each size.  Generally, an army of 1,000 people is assigned a commander-in-chief, and then the main combat units are divided into brigade, squadron, and squad according to the number of arms, and are under the direct jurisdiction of the general.  An army has different combat units depending on the situation.  There are about ten people in a small group, about thirty people in a squadron, and about a hundred people in a large group. Commonly known as centurions in the kingdom, they are the smallest nobles and officers who can get on the stage.  Squad captains, squadron captains, centurions, thousands captains, generals, and their adjutants and flag bearers, that's basically all the officers in the entire army.  Going up to the army of 10,000 or even 100,000 people, Pulin Fenghan, who lives in a small country, has only heard of it in legends.

    ¡­¡­

    "Baron, after recruiting more than 400 militiamen and distributing weapons, armors, and leather armors in stock, we are now reasonably armed with: one hundred multiple sword infantry, one hundred multiple armored pikemen, and one hundred multiple armored pikemen.  Mounted cavalry, more than a hundred light cavalry, more than 200 light pikemen, more than a hundred light infantry, more than 300 archers, five ballistae and three catapults, more than 200 troops." Platt checked his hands.  Information, said seriously.

    Lin Fenghan stared at the citizens who were dissatisfied with the forced conscription, frowned and said: "Now we have gathered a total of 1,200 people.Of the troops, 400 of them are militiamen, which are a branch with extremely low morale. I inserted them into the crossbow and archery troops. If the war goes well, these people will definitely be brave in fighting, but once the morale is low, these people will  They will definitely run away, and we will definitely be defeated by then.  I plan to organize these people into twelve independent teams, including one hundred heavy infantrymen in one group, fifty light cavalrymen in one group, fifty cavalry archers in one group, and one hundred heavy swordsman infantry.  One team, one hundred heavily armed pikemen, two hundred light pikemen, one team, more than one hundred light infantry with mixed weapons, one team, three hundred archers and catapult troops, four teams directly from me  Jurisdiction, what do you think?  "

    "It's a bit much to set up twelve squads, but once the war starts, you can only command the men and horses in your own hands. The heavy cavalry is in charge of Knight Colander, the infantry is in my hands, and the long-range army is up to you. War  It's coming soon. Although the temporarily assembled troops don't coordinate well in combat, they are still much better than the previous combat units. Now let me help you assign suitable officers!" Pulet touched his beard.  Nodding with satisfaction.

    Fifteen minutes later, various weapons, various formations, and various flag numbers were in place.  Lin Fenghan stood on the high platform in the center of the market square and touched the general's horn on his waist. Looking at the densely packed crowd of more than a thousand people in front of him, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "My brothers, Duke Brant  Without declaring war, his subordinate Sir Bertand led a large group of troops to capture the main castle of Elante this morning. However, the warriors of Elante would never give in. We bravely resisted the invaders and caused them great harm.  But now - these reckless bastards have forgotten the lessons of bloodshed and are continuing to attack Haisha Port, our beloved city. Along the way, they robbed the citizens and defiled women, which is heinous. Here I want to represent the people and  Justice will punish them."

    Lin Fenghan clapped his hands, and six soldiers carried three large boxes onto the high platform. Facing the more than a thousand people below, Lin Fenghan opened the top of the wooden box three times, and dazzling golden and silver lights shone.  The crowd below.

    "I hope you can stand up bravely and face the invaders. After this war, each warrior who sticks to the battlefield will receive one gold coin, one for killing an invader, and five for capturing an intruder.  A silver coin. In the end, all the warriors who fought for Elantre and made outstanding achievements will get their own land."

    "Glory! Wealth! Land! It's right here, what are you still hesitating about?"

    After a brief silence, a shocking roar broke out from the battle formation.

    "Long live the Baron!"

    "Long live the Baron!"

    "Long live the Baron!"

    ¡­¡­

    Motel looked at Lin Fenghan who came down from the high platform sadly, and asked seriously: "Baron, you are too generous. Although we have tens of thousands of gold coins, hundreds of thousands of gold coins in the treasury in Haisha Port. But I  I feel that the money you gave them is too much. One gold coin! It is equivalent to more than 10 silver coins and more than 1,000 copper coins. That is a farmer's reward for a year of hard work! What's more, you are going to give land to those with outstanding military exploits.  , In what form do you plan to give it to them? This is a policy that can cause a revolution!"

    "Hey!" Lin Fenghan sighed softly. He looked at the farmer in his fifties and wearing densely patched clothes on the street five hundred meters away. He pointed at him and said seriously: "Grandpa Motel, don't you  Do you think the farmers work too hard? Most of the wealth created by their hard work throughout the year is given to the lords. They pay too much and get too little. Life is too hard. In the territory of the Elant family,  The land is rich and the coastal resources are abundant. In this way, they can only make ends meet for a year. Maybe they can buy a new piece of clothing or a new piece of furniture in a few years. But once they have children, they will have to live the poor life again.  , This is really not what I want to see, I am now the lord of Elantra, and I feel that I must change everything."

    "Little Elante, you are a kind-hearted man and a good lord. I am very happy to have such a kind lord in this world, but any reform needs to be carried out properly. I hope you can accept everyone's opinions on things.  , so that there will be no big chaos." Motel looked at the direction Lin Fenghan pointed, his vision was blurred, his heart was shaking, recalling the distant legend of the Elant family, he sighed happily.

    "Well! The reform I decided on is first of all the political system, then the land, and finally the social system, the comprehensive reform of the system. This plan is too huge, and I need to think carefully before it can be properly launched. Now we will carry out land reform,  That is to first give one to five acres of land to meritorious warriors. As long as the owner does not die, the sovereignty of these lands belongs to them, and they only need to pay 10 to 20% of the tax. Unlike before, in the territory?Only a very small number of free people or knights and other powerful people can own their own sovereign land. Now I want to transfer land power to the majority of the people.  Just like before, the era when farmers had no sovereignty over their land and worked as slaves for lords was about to pass.  This is the reform I want now.  "Lin Fenghan looked at the sky, opened his arms, and told his plan quietly.

    "Really? If you really want to do this, it will definitely be an earth-shaking change, but have you considered the external situation, such as the attitudes of other nobles?" Motel looked at the young man in front of him in shock,  Be careful.

    "I have considered it, that's why I need a strong army to ensure peace and justice." Lin Fenghan smiled slightly and walked slowly outside the big town.  ;
