Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since I vomited blood last time, I have been very restrained in writing, so I have been slow to update, and now I don¡¯t want to do that anymore.  Living in confusion every day, living without success is more uncomfortable than dying. From now on, I will work hard, even if I risk my life, I will pay any price, as long as I can see hope.

    Section 5 Disagreement

    The battle on the evening of March 6 was unprecedentedly fierce, and the total number of casualties was finally calculated after eight o'clock in the evening.

    Coland stood in front of the dining table and shouted loudly: "Baron, after the statistics we just made. The navy's preliminary statistics show that 37 people were killed and more than 100 injured. In the army, the urban militia suffered the most serious losses. A total of troops participating in the war on the east and west fronts  More than 200 people were killed and more than 300 were injured."

    Tablostra stood up slowly at this time, and said sadly: "There are more than 3,100 soldiers stationed in Tacojian Fortress, and more than 1,400 merchants and pedestrians. Now more than 700 soldiers in the fortress have fled and died in the battle.  There were more than 400 people, more than 500 were injured, and there were more than 1,500 people left, of whom almost all the noble officers had fled. Most of the remaining 2,000 people were from the south. I excluded more than 300 officers from all levels.  The remaining 1,700 people are civilian troops we can control."

    "very good!"

    ¡°Tablostra you did a great job!¡±

    Lin Fenghan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I will give you seven days. You must cooperate with Commander Balida to control and train this unit. If you have any requests, you can make them to me at any time."

    Tablostra hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "I'm very grateful to the Baron for trusting me. But I still have a few small requests that I want to make."

    "explain!"

    Lin Fenghan raised his hand and said.

    Tablostra requested: "Most of these warriors are children of ordinary civilians. They are willing to fight for whoever gives them money, and most of them have heard of your deeds.  Everyone admires you, so I hope you can continue to help those injured soldiers until they recover."

    "And I have been stationed here for 5 years. I hope you can release some of the ordinary noble knights and retainers."

    "I object!"

    "I object too!"

    At this time, several centurions in navy and militia uniforms sitting in the corner stood up and shouted loudly.

    Captain Flurry of the Navy Clipper 3 stood up with an angry look on his face and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Baron, I firmly oppose treating them leniently. You have to know how many casualties our Marine Corps has paid today. Brothers are just crawling."  The rope was dropped nearly a hundred times to adjust the water, and everyone looked angry. I didn't care, but the new brothers were chilled."

    "yes!"

    Qiao Bri, the captain of Hailan 5, stood up and said seriously to Lin Fenghan: "Due to the rapid recruitment of our navy, 5,000 trainee militia and part-time sailors have been added to the original 3,000 basic personnel and 2,000 auxiliary sailors. Many good and bad people have  Join us, those who are easily excited are particularly extreme, and they have just made a fuss."

    "Yes, Baron!"

    Lanska, the leader of the Epee Infantry Regiment, stood up and said seriously to Lin Fenghan: "I am commanding the battle from the front. In addition to our elite field troops, there are also urban militia and rural militia. Among them, the morale and discipline of the rural militia are  , the combat effectiveness is the worst. When our army was in trouble during the siege, many people looked confused. They were afraid of fear and did not dare to move forward. Moreover, these rural militias have a weak system, including young, old, and old.  Some of them are just here to do meritorious service and earn a living. Apart from carrying goods and supporting the scene, they are really useless."

    "I agree."

    The spearman Centurion Salle stood up coldly and said coldly: "Baron, according to my observation and inquiry, our expeditionary force had more than 27,000 people at its peak, and now it is accompanied by most of the fishermen and merchant sailors.  The retreat of the rural militia reduced the number to 19,000. But of these 19,000, 5,000 were Navy sailors, and more than 5,000 of them were Navy cooperative sailors. These people lacked training, were afraid of war, and were familiar with the sea.  They are still brave in the environment, but when they come to land, their combat effectiveness drops like crazy. The most important thing is that this group of people don't want to come at all. I asked them to come ashore for support today, and everyone is looking around and unwilling to attack the city."

    "Yes! Baron!"

    Toton, the commander of the Western Front Infantry Regiment, said angrily: "Those groups don't deserve to be called soldiers or soldiers at all. They are just here to make a living."

    ¡­¡­

    The crowd pulled Tabuluo aside, quarreled loudly with each other, and denounced the militiamen for their inaction.  Lin Fenghan sat there with a frown on his face, looking at the quarreling people with annoyance, his heart felt cold, he slowly raised his hand and said seriously:"I also saw a lot of militiamen and cooperative sailors on the Hailan. These people's combat effectiveness is indeed very poor. I can't pay attention to their performance on the battlefield because I can't take in the whole scene. Now I ask you to give me serious comments."  , I want to know what they really did on the battlefield, and how we should position them for war."

    Ponos sat on the chair and tapped the table with his fingers, and said quietly for a while: "We have 5,000 people in the navy and 5,000 people in the training cooperative navy. They are only suitable for naval warfare and offshore operations in ocean cities, especially  Those more than 5,000 auxiliary sailors and militiamen have very poor combat effectiveness and no fighting spirit. Even calling them militiamen overestimates them. They have only been trained for a month or two and can only be regarded as peasant sailors who have taken up arms.  , whether it is a naval battle or a land battle, they are not reliable, they are only assigned to us to carry supplies, carry goods, do war service work, defend city walls, and assist our real soldiers."

    "Yes!"

    Ramsay also stood up, looked at Lin Fenghan seriously and said: "I also think this group of militiamen are very unreliable. They still lack experience, responsibility, confidence, morale, courage, and ability. Now they are just  They can be auxiliary infantry. And even in the future, some of them will only be suitable as auxiliary infantry."

    "ah!"

    "Why?"

    Lin Fenghan asked with some confusion when he heard this.

    Ramsay patted his forehead, looked at Lin Fenghan seriously and said: "Your Excellency Baron Yiliuyun, our elite core infantry and naval sailors are all recruited from the Elante Islands, and the others are recruited from Waterdeep City and the Wesen Mountains.  . At present, due to our continuous recruitment of soldiers, the truly outstanding men in the Elant area and Waterdeep area have signed up for field infantry. The rest are men with weak institutions, younger and older men. And this time we  Part of the militia recruited were these remaining local residents, and some were men and slaves and servants who came from other areas.¡±

    "Our army and navy have strong structures. There are only about 15,000 elite soldiers aged 18 to 35. The rest of the personnel are not very good in structure and qualifications. This population quality is the real reason why I dare to predict their role.  "

    "ah!"

    Lin Fenghan put his palm on his forehead, closed his eyes for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "Ramus, Ponos, and Chituton, I understand everything you said. But there is one thing I don't understand now. Follow us across the ocean."  Among the 17,000 people who came, how many were elite soldiers who could actually fight on land?"

    Ramsay lowered his head and calculated for a while, then said slowly: "There are only about 5,000 people. The others are all navy, or the militia is just not suitable for land warfare."

    Everyone looked at Ramsay and Lin Fenghan, nodded slowly, made eye contact and agreed.

    "good!"

    "I see!"

    Lin Fenghan raised his head and looked at everyone in realization.
