Lin Fenghan, Pulet, Ali, Bonos, Bonodong and others stood on the city wall with excitement, looking excitedly at the six huge square formations below.
Pulet clapped his chest excitedly and said with a smile: "I never thought that I, Pulet, would be able to command such a huge army in my lifetime. I couldn't believe that I would be here today."
"hehe!"
Lin Fenghan smiled softly, looked at Pulet seriously and said: "Old general, what does this mean? In the near future you will have to command at least an army of more than 100,000 people. Only such a general can be considered a true general. Commander-in-Chief."
"Haha! I'm waiting for that day to come." Pulet looked at Lin Fenghan with admiration and said boldly.
"By the way, Yi Liuyun, we still have 1,600 sets of heavy equipment in the warehouse, why don't we use them to arm our army?" Pulet asked.
"yes!"
Bonos also stood up and said to Lin Fenghan: "Our navy has packed up the remaining leather armor, iron swords, and spear weapons, but this heavy equipment is so heavy, we don't need too much, you Why not arm the army with it? With so much equipment,So our army is stronger after all. "
"I want it too!"
Lin Fenghan shrugged and said helplessly: "These armors, bronze armors, each weigh 10 to 20 kilograms. Generally, soldiers will be exhausted after walking 1,000 meters on their backs. Although their physical strength and strength can be increased through training, Combat strength, but it is too late in time. What's more, each arm has its own role and value. It is unreasonable that we cannot arm all the army into heavy infantry. We cannot let the archers also Put on your iron armor and your bronze battle armor!¡±
"Bronze weapons are very fragile. Although spears, broad swords, and halberds are constantly broken, fighting is a very important thing. Bronze as a weapon has fallen behind for us. I am ready to eliminate bronze weapons step by step. .¡±
"Of course, it is still very important to use new alloy bronze to make heavy helmets, armor, and shields. After previous battles, we have captured many equipment and weapons. After investigation, the kingdom's border troops, the rich and powerful people in the country The powerful nobles and their soldiers have already used the latest development of iron swords and advanced weapons such as steel swords. Our future enemies will be them. We must not fall behind them, and we must also develop."
"The Elantra Academy of Sciences will conduct research on specific technologies, resources and minerals, and new metals. Brothers, the next step is for us to unify the entire southern continent of Dambreth Kingdom. I hope you will not underestimate the weapons and tactics of the army. In the development of strategy, we must stand at the forefront of the entire military era." Lin Fenghan raised his hands and explained to the crowd passionately.
"Um!"
"Yeah! That makes sense!"
"I will pay attention."
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, thinking seriously about what Lin Fenghan said.
Vera patted her chest passionately and said loudly to Lin Fenghan: "Baron, Kelande, Mayoden, Ramsay, Ross, they have all achieved great achievements, and I don't want to fall behind them. Please appoint an army to be under my command now! I will also achieve a strong record!"
"Very good! I am optimistic about you. This time you will command a 300-man fast mobile cavalry unit! I hope you can cooperate with everyone. As for the war and achievements you want, you will definitely not be able to get it now. The nobles around you They have been frightened by us. As long as our army moves over, they will basically surrender. This dispatch of troops is to give you and all your officers an independent opportunity to lead troops. I hope you can cherish this opportunity. .¡±
Lin Fenghan looked at the prepared army in front, waved his hand, and the whole army set off.
