At around 11 o'clock on March 8, 1921, Colander, Rana, Davout, Rams, Mayoton, Lin Fenghan and others happily sat in the noble courtyard covering an area of ??more than 300 square meters in the town. Have a meeting by the fire.
Coland took off his bronze armor at this time, wearing a clean yellow linen robe and a blanket around his body. He stood next to the fire, gesticulating with his excited hands and said: "Ramus, do you know? Just now I brought More than 1,000 brothers went to attack the garrison in the south of the town. Facing the soldiers on the hillside, our light cavalry were very brave. After giving them a severe lesson with bows and arrows, in less than five minutes, they were Two to three thousand people rushed down from above."
"Two to three thousand people!" Ke Langde stretched out three fingers and exaggeratedly stretched out his hands to describe the crowd.
"The mountains and plains are densely packed, and numerous cavalry and infantry are rushing toward us with shouts. The war horses that have just been trained for a few months are frightened by the sound of splitting the sky and the earth, kicking and screaming, fear and mourning. So many People charged together, trampling the ground with their footsteps, causing patches of yellow muddy water, which mixed into rivers and flowed down from above. Under such circumstances, brothers, do you think we will be afraid?"
"Won't!"
"Won't!"
¡¡
Kelande continued to ask: "Will we kneel down in fear?"
"Won't!"
"Won't!"
¡¡
The centurions and captains present shook their heads.
Kelande looked at the people shaking their heads and nodded with satisfaction and said: "So we turned around and retreated on horseback."
Poof!
Poof!
¡°Damn it, you¡¯re wasting my encouragement!¡±
¡¡
Ramsay. Romella spat out the drinks in her mouth.
Kelande said without changing his face: "After stabilizing the morale of the army, we quickly fired arrows backwards. Arrows one after another were densely packed and shot into their crowd with great force. When we blocked our arrows, Among them, two to three hundred unlucky children slipped to the ground and became mud monkeys. More than 100 cavalrymen chased us out of anger, so they tragically fell off their horses and were thrown half to death."
"After seeing the birds on the opposite side, our brothers gathered in great morale, including our horses, and bravely returned again. We took out our precious crossbows and horn bows, and tortured them fiercely, while they were chasing them. After us, he rode away lewdly."
"With this tactic, nearly 3,000 knights, attendants, and militiamen chased us for 3 kilometers." Kelande raised his head, closed his eyes, shook his head, and sighed: "This is simply too horrible to watch. Ah! Brother, I ran and shot all the way. The two quivers with 60 bows and arrows in my body were almost empty. Only then did these grandsons hear the news and rumors from the town and prepared to run away. But I was chased for an hour, seven Eighty brothers fell from their horses and fell behind enemy lines. Can we let them go? Can we let them leave safely? Can we be beaten without a full-scale counterattack?"
"cannot!"
"cannot!"
Centurion Colander of the Cavalry Regiment. Bosmi and Farab stood up and shouted.
Kelande clapped his hands and clenched his fists and said: "So I led our brothers' light cavalry regiment and rushed forward. I broke up the group of militiamen and retainers who were scattered in formation, and then moved towards the group of fleeing knights."
"Brothers are all very powerful. Under our tall figures, our light cavalry often just raised their spears, and the knights on the horses were frightened and fainted. They fell to the rain, crying and surrendering. So I reluctantly accepted it. their surrender.¡±
"Under the spread of this trend, the noble knights are vulnerable. Our light cavalry regiment captured more than 1,200 militiamen. With more than 400 knights and attendants, such a record is simply invincible!"
"Boss Ke Langde is so powerful!"
"Captain Ke Langde is so powerful!"
¡¡
A group of centurions of horse archers stood up one after another, proudly holding out their chests and clapping their hands.
Poof!
Ramsay's eyes widened, he put down the wine glass in his hand, and said in surprise: "Colander, you are so powerful that you raised your spear. Those knights and squires who had received elite training fell to the ground. This was too strong." Come on! You're not lying, are you?"
"That's right! Of course I'm not lying!" Kelande proudly said with his chest raised and his eyes unblinking.
¡°Damn it!¡±
Ramsay clapped an unconvinced hand on his thigh, frowned and said, "Romella, please describe our victory just now. Let him open his eyes."
"Um!"
Romella lazily took another sip of rice wine.He stood up lazily and said to Ke Langde: "Ke Langde, your lower body has been roasted by the flames for a long time, please don't get burned."
"What?"
Kelande lowered his head and found that half of his underwear was indeed exposed from the blanket. He raised his head angrily and said, "Damn it! You lied to me!"
"Ha ha!"
"hey-hey!"
¡¡
Many centurions, captains and officers who listened to his boast laughed.
Romella raised her right hand with a smile on her face, closed her eyes and recalled: "At 8:30 this morning, General Rams and I took only more than 500 people with us, braved the cold wind and rain, and went through jungles, grasslands, and rivers. The ordeal reached the foot of the hill to the north of the town of Starling, and our brothers had just reached 200 meters away from the hillside when their outcrops were discovered by the group of reconnaissance soldiers above."
"Bursts of drums, shouts, and shouts came from above, and then we found that more than 1,000 people were exposed on the front of the 600-meter-wide battlefield. Looking at the large crowd above, the brothers of the main cavalry regiment The blood was boiling, and shouts of excitement suddenly erupted, and many of our columns ran together below."
"Especially when General Ramsay yelled at the camp above, we and others quickly waved battle flags and yelled curses. In an instant, more than 1,000 people watched our majesty being shocked and became silent."
"Plop, in our doubts, dozens of frightened militiamen rolled down the hillside with their pants in their hands. The brothers were immediately inspired, and with a loud roar, they jumped off their horses and attacked up the hillside "
Romila gestured with joy. Ignoring the stunned expressions of Kelande and others, he described passionately: "More than 500 of us rushed up the hillside like a pack of wolves, arrows like raindrops appeared in the sky, and spears fell from the sky, but brothers Without any fear, they held their shields in skirmish formation, raised their bows and arrows and attacked forward. Under our fierce attack and shouting for death, more than 3,000 troops were attracted from the camp and rushed down the hillside in an overwhelming force. "
¡°At this time, the brothers had been fighting for more than 20 minutes and were very thirsty, so unfortunately the brothers had to turn around and go back to drink water and continue fighting.¡±
"oh!"
¡°You can really brag!¡±
"Is this a human being?"
"so amazing!"
¡¡
Everyone in Ke Langde commented in shock. Romella picked up a glass of ale and drank a few sips, burping comfortably and said: "At this moment, a huge change suddenly occurred above us. A brave hero led his brothers to attack the Cape Watch Noble Sailor Alliance from above. the rear."
"I saw him riding a tall war horse and leading dozens of people into the enemy formation. General Ramsay and I were very happy when we saw this. The brothers who went back to drink water also returned one after another. Both sides of the army attacked together. The Cape Watch Knights and Sailors Alliance, in less than ten minutes, we put an end to the war. We won the victory, and more than 2,000 people were captured by us."
Romila clapped her hands. Pointing at Kond¨¦ and Kronstad loudly, he said: "Now we invite our brave warriors, the temporary commander of the Elantes Legion Militia, the warrior Kondai and his brother assistant Kronstad."
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
¡¡
Romella, Rams, Mayton, Lu Mengton and others who had been favored by Condai all clapped their hands.
The sturdy Kong Dai stood up from his chair confidently and excitedly, and said to the more than 200 officers present: "Thank you for your love, brothers. I, Kong Dai, have met all the brothers here. I hope that in the future I will be able to fight for my dreams with everyone in the future.¡±
"Ha ha!"
??Keland stood up from the chair with a hot tea cup in hand and walked to Kongdai. She patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Young man, you are very good. I am optimistic about you. Come on!"
"yes!"
"Kong Dai, you are indeed very fierce."
¡¡
More than a dozen people praised together, and Kelande said with some jealousy: "Hey! Mr. Kongdai, although you did good things by relying on good luck at the critical moment. But did the baron really make you a captain of thousands? You want to You know, most of the people we have fought with them for more than ten times are centurions and centurions of the regiment! How did you get the praise of the baron? Tell us the secret and let everyone listen."
"Um!"
"yes!"
"Speak quickly!"
"I have fought more than ten battles, and now I am still a captain of a cavalry regiment. You are now a captain of thousands, and I don't accept it!"
"I don't accept it either! Although I joined the army after the Battle of Waterdeep, I fought hard every time and charged forward bravely. There is no credit but hard work! But now I am still a small centurion and deputy battalion team leader."
"Yes! It's so unreasonable for you to get such a high position just now!"
¡¡
Kolander, Bosmi, Farab, Boumisi, Kofiri, Fraton, Sothra and others all stood up excitedly and looked at Kongdai in confusion and asked.
Kong Dai looked at the excited crowd, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his head, stretched out his hand and said humbly: "Brothers, you are praising me. In fact, I did not obtain the position of captain of thousands. The reason why I faced the nobles on the battlefield was The shouting of the sailors and attendants was to scare them and highlight the fact that I brought 1,500 people to attack them. My intimidation was indeed successful. The sailors and attendants were defeated by several hundred of our troops, but regarding my obtaining the position of captain of thousands. Rumors are spreading everywhere, and no matter how much I explain to them, they don¡¯t believe me and think I¡¯m fooling them. In fact, Commander Yi Liuyun only conferred me as a temporary unit centurion.¡±
"oh!"
"That's it!"
"What should I say?"
Lu Mengton looked at Kongdai and said in agreement: "General Davout and I also brought the city defense troops of Waterdeep City to directly join the Elantes army. You had previously won the approval of four to five hundred people on the battlefield. The Baron conferred you as a temporary alliance. Team Centurion is also reasonable.¡±
"Oh! I understand!"
"Kondai! You have a good appearance and a good brain. Work hard, and we think you may go further and become a captain like us." Balida patted Kongdai's shoulder with understanding and said.
"Thanks!"
"Thank you brothers for your kind words." Kong Dai bowed his head humbly and looked at everyone respectfully, trying to minimize everyone's jealousy and disgust towards him.
¡¡
"The Baron is here!"
"Haha! It seems that we have statistics on the number of treasures we have confiscated."
"Hehe! Yes! I saw four or five large boxes of silver and gold coins!"
"Yeah! I also saw a lot of beautiful beauties! I feel excited just thinking about it."
"Hehe! The Baron must give us more points this time!"
"Um!"
"Um!"
¡¡
Everyone watched Lin Fenghan walk into the courtyard, nodding and talking happily.
At this time, the spring rain had stopped for half an hour, and the orange sun appeared from the sky, shining on the rainy and foggy land. Everyone was warming the flames, walking out of the greenhouse for a few steps, feeling the sunshine, and excitedly waiting for the arrival of the happy moment.
Lin Fenghan walked seriously into the Zhenzheng Hall courtyard with the letter in his hand. Vera and others found several tables and chairs. Lin Fenghan walked up and stood in the middle. He slowly looked at the centurions around him and shouted: "Brothers, we have won a great victory." Victory, great wealth has been obtained, let us cheer for victory!"
¡°Long live Elantes!¡±
"Long live General Yiliuyun!"
¡°Long live Elantes!¡±
"Long live General Yiliuyun!"
"Long live victory!"
¡¡
Everyone shouted excitedly and looked at Lin Fenghan's face excitedly.
Lin Fenghan stretched out his right hand with a smile after everyone shouted excitedly for more than ten times to stir up the atmosphere. He said loudly: "We defeated more than 17,000 people in this battle and captured 12,000 people. We escaped with nearly 10,000 people. Most of the people we captured were militiamen, attendants, and servants they forcibly took away. , These people hate the nobles very much, so I decided to recruit 10,000 people here as the auxiliary militia of our Elantra army. All the original auxiliary soldiers will be upgraded, and I will select qualified warriors as the main force."
"good!"
"Very good!"
"Our troops have expanded and we can have a better position. We can be promoted."
"yes!"
"I have long been dissatisfied with my centurion position in the wing, but now I can finally find a good position."
¡¡
Everyone nodded and discussed excitedly.
Lin Fenghan continued to speak: "The better news is that during this siege, we obtained a lot of wealth left by the relocated nobles, including jewelry, oil paintings, antiquities, and gold coins. Silver coins are worth more than 600 Ten thousand, including 30 boxes containing gold coins and more than 300 boxes containing silver coins.??. After my inquiry, I found that these wealth are only part of their possessions, and some of them are buried in the land of their hometown. We have to look for it when we go back. "
"What!"
"Buried in the ground."
¡°Great, my previous occupation was a farmer digging in the ground, I¡¯m good at finding treasures!¡±
"Me too!"
"hey-hey!"
¡¡
Everyone rubbed their hands and looked at each other with shining eyes.
A smile flashed across Lin Fenghan's lips, and he raised his hands and said happily: "Due to the rapid recruitment of the Elantes army, our government treasury does not have much money anymore. It originally had 30 to 40 million, but now only 4 million is left. Now with this money, we can mobilize more power. So this batch of money"
"ah!"
"Why!"
"Why!"
"It's so helpless!"
¡¡
Listening to Lin Fenghan¡¯s words, everyone looked down in despair, with disappointed eyes and no words.
Lin Fenghan paused for a moment to observe everyone's reaction, and then said loudly: "So I decided to withdraw 600,000 silver coins from this money to reward those who braved the cold wind and rain, marched forward bravely, were not afraid of hard work, and were fearless. Warriors of life and death, I hereby pay tribute to all the warriors of Elantes, your performance has never been forgotten by the Elantes government, and all warriors present and participating in this battle will be rewarded."
"ah!"
"Very good!"
¡°600,000 silver coins are awarded to 20,000 people, so generous!¡±
"That's great. On average, everyone will get 3,000 small copper coins, which is a full 30 strings of money. That's great!"
"Long live General Yiliuyun!"
"Long live General Yiliuyun!"
"Long live General Yiliuyun!"
¡¡
Everyone raised their hands and shouted excitedly.
Lin Fenghan smiled softly. Deputy Commander Ke Lande quickly walked up to Lin Fenghan and said cautiously: "Yi Liuyun, you are a little reckless this time! You have to rein in soldiers like this in every battle, then these soldiers will definitely Develop the habit of fighting for money. If our government runs out of money one day, they will not be willing to fight for us. What's more, I think the reason why they are willing to fight desperately is that they have nothing and hope to get rich. If we continue It won't take much to win the war. If each of them becomes a rich man, then they will cherish their lives and not want to become soldiers anymore, and then the consequences will appear."
Lin Fenghan was silent for a moment, looked at Ke Lande sincerely and said: "Ke Lande, what you said is very reasonable, but I can't look at meritorious men being poor and doing nothing, let alone deliberately let these soldiers and people live in poverty. In poverty. The reason why I raised an army to rebel against the nobles of the human world is for the sake of the people. These soldiers are also the people, our favorite people. The people are rich, peaceful and happy. This is something worthy of our happiness, as for the negative consequences you mentioned. I will remain silent for the time being, but I believe that there are always many people in this world who are willing to give everything for their dreams, and I feel that we will never lack loyal and capable soldiers."
"All right!"
Kelande sighed softly, looked into Lin Fenghan's eyes sincerely and said: "Actually, I also like generous bosses, but as a general and commander-in-chief, I have to think about more things. Now I have expressed my worries, although If you don¡¯t accept it, you have your own opinion. But I feel a lot more comfortable now.¡±
"Yi Liuyun, no matter what you do, I will support you and help you as much as possible. This is a gift from me and Semina in return."
Lin Fenghan looked at Ke Lande gratefully, then turned to everyone and shouted: "Brothers, our casualty statistics have been released for this battle. There were more than 13,000 troops participating in the battle. We have seriously injured more than 700 people and died in the battle. 428 people have been killed, and all the deceased brothers and their families will receive generous subsidies."
"All the brothers who participated in this battle were rewarded with two acres of land. The officers were rewarded with additional land based on their contribution. I will complete the statistics of the specific list tomorrow."
"At the same time, the army will rest here for two days, waiting for the troops in the rear, and at the same time organize the army, expand the army, and reorganize the organization."
"ah!"
"Expand the army now!"
"Very good!"
¡¡
Romella nodded excitedly, and as he spoke excitedly, many new and old officers nodded happily.
Lin Fenghan nodded slightly, looked at the people below and said, "While everyone is gathered here, let's discuss the new troops and the new troops.It¡¯s about the Jin officer! "
"We can now gather here more than 2,000 Marines and 15,000 Army troops, including a main cavalry regiment, a light cavalry regiment, a buckler swordsman regiment, a spear regiment, an archer regiment, and 4 The Phalanx Corps, a mixed field artillery logistics and medical regiment, three elite militia swordsmen regiments, and two elite spearmen militia regiments. I have not fixed the commanders of these thousand-man regiments. Now I plan to fix the establishment. New auxiliary militia regiments are being set up at the same time.¡±
Lin Fenghan turned around and looked at Rafa, the leader of the spear militia standing next to Rana, and said in a serious voice: "Rafa, how long have your spear militia been training?"
"Baron, you have been training for nearly two months." Rafa frowned and said: "The ten centurions I wrote about are basically lining up, advancing, and assaulting. There is no big problem. However, javelin shooting and spear fighting alone require physical endurance. There is still a big gap between us and the regular field army."
"Really?" Lin Fenghan nodded and said: "At present, the spear infantry you have trained are basically qualified and can join the regular combat troops. They can learn the remaining skills in battle and gradually become soldiers from militiamen. Becoming an elite infantryman."
"Lana! What do you think of the actual combat effectiveness of our Elantes super long spear phalanx." Lin Fenghan asked several people again: "Davout, Mayoden, Lu Mengton, what do you think of it."
Lana paused and touched his chin. He said carefully: "I discovered the characteristics of this phalanx while commanding the battle today. We have 20 small phalanxes operating together, but the Cape Watch troops on the opposite side cannot resist us in the front. Our five-meter and four-meter spears They were much longer than them, a group of people were drinking and eating together, their thorns were shrinking, and they were beaten back into the house and street without any resistance."
"Yes! Yes!" Davout nodded in agreement: "Our phalanx is advancing steadily with the support of archers, and a group of buckler warriors around us are ready to compensate for the loopholes in our phalanx. Even if the heavy rain falls, Our phalanx still shredded the enemy firmly until we entered the town."
Ma Youdun quickly and calmly said: "Our phalanx was restricted by the terrain when entering the town and could not deploy its troops. However, the huge and sharp spears were still able to suppress the enemy, unable to advance and kept retreating. Later, they found long bamboo poles. , huge shield, and resisting horses and spears, our offensive declined. "
Balida pressed his eyebrows and said: "In general, this kind of phalanx frontal attack is impeccable. I am just afraid that the enemy will detour to the side or behind, and I am afraid that the formation will be chaotic. But as long as the formation is not chaotic, even a group of new soldiers can use the spear Put it on the shoulders of the soldiers in front, thrust on the arm supports, and gain an easy victory."
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
¡¡
Lin Fenghan clapped happily and said: "I am very happy that everyone can realize the characteristics of the phalanx. We need to consume a lot of bronze and iron cavalry to equip a heavy infantry regiment with ordinary equipment. We can easily save a lot by equipping this regiment." of bronze and iron to make more super-long spears."
"The Elantes Spear Phalanx is very cheap and powerful. Although the shortcomings are very big, they can be ignored with the cooperation of our troops. This phalanx only requires good spears, leather armor, bronze helmets, and bronze broadswords that can be obtained everywhere. And small iron swords, wooden shields these are very easy for us to obtain. Using this phalanx means that we can use the same resources to form more and larger troops."
Lin Fenghan looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back and said: "Last year and this year, we produced a large number of super long spears during the winter, a total of 70,000. And these spears are still being produced, and our blacksmiths are working overtime. We have added points to manufacture sharp bronze lance javelin heads and the latest technology carbon-doped wrought iron spear heads. There are now more than 40,000 javelins that have been assembled, and we also have more than 20,000 uniformly cast bronze helmets, and manufacturing There are more than 30,000 good leather armors, and now as long as we recruit good soldiers, we can immediately arm an army of more than 20,000 people."
"And now the opportunity has arisen. My brothers, are you ready to serve as commanders and brigadier generals?" Lin Fenghan glanced down below proudly.
"Baron, we are already ready."
"General, we have been waiting for a long time."
"Baron, hurry up and order the formation of a new army! I have been waiting for a long time."
"Baron, I have been fighting with you since the beginning, and I am now a deputy centurion of the regiment. I think that although I have no great achievements, I still have hard work! You should quickly form a new army and give me the position of centurion. Bar!"
¡¡
Everyone excitedly stretched out their hands and shouted??
"Okay!" Lin Fenghan stopped hesitating and said quickly: "I am going to break up all the troops on site and reorganize them. The new troops can at least increase the original two, and the outstanding officers who have performed well in the army will also To be able to advance quickly, we will discuss the specific preparation methods now. I hope that everyone will not cherish their talents and express their opinions as much as possible. I will remember your performance in the meeting one by one. Good suggestions will reflect your With my talents, you can increase my judgment and obtain greater benefits."
At this moment, discordant tones came from next to Lin Fenghan. Vera smiled awkwardly, looked at the people looking at him and seriously suggested to Lin Fenghan: "Baron, brothers have been fighting all morning. Now, it¡¯s time to eat.¡±
"ah!"
"Excuse me!"
Lin Fenghan looked at everyone sincerely and said, "This is my oversight. Let's eat first and discuss it carefully during the meal."
