"We encountered four to five hundred cavalry in front, and Captain Lanska has already led the frontline infantry."
"Walk!"
¡¡
After Lin Fenghan arrived at the front line, he found that many cavalry had left, and the frightened army set off on alert.
"Report!"
"Two or three hundred cavalry appeared in the south!"
"Walk!"
"Report!"
"One or two hundred cavalry appeared from the north!"
¡¡
From the afternoon of the 12th to the afternoon of the 13th, for two full days, there was uninterrupted information about the enemy. The troops on the front line and in the middle stopped. The Elantes army covered a distance of fifty or sixty kilometers from the town of Starlin to the city of Tamira. It took two days to arrive at the village near Tamira city at around 6 pm on the 13th.
In the large village of Tamisla Town, Lin Fenghan and his party arrived here tiredly and occupied the village located on the hillside. The group of people tiredly soaked in the pond and river in the big village.
"Unbearable!"
"I really can't stand it anymore!"
Kelande slapped his face hard with water, raised his head and shouted angrily.
Corland went down to the river and turned to look at Lin Fenghan and said: "Baron, those bastard light cavalry have been so disgusting these past two days. They raised their flags to attack us when we were eating, and they were there when we reached the stream to drink water. Poisons, laxatives, or muddying of the water were added to the water. When our frontline troops were sleeping, the sound of dogs barking could be heard outside the camp in the middle of the night, and the brothers couldn't sleep well!"
"Oh! It's so frustrating!" Farab waved his hands and sighed: "It's only been two days, and there are already many new recruits in my team. The militiamen can't stand it anymore, and there are even three or four deserters."
"There are one or two deserters in my team." Ma Youdun shook his head helplessly with red eyes.
"They are too bastards, Colande, tell us how many of them your light cavalry have killed." Romella scolded and got into the water, washed his face comfortably and looked at Colande and asked.
"Don't mention it!"
Kelande glanced at everyone tiredly, frowned and said: "My light cavalry have only been trained recently, and the horses can't run as fast as them. The enemy's light cavalry, on the other hand, have very rare tactical movements and strong reconnaissance capabilities. , and later I learned through being captured that this group of people had participated in the border war and were a group of veterans.¡±
"From yesterday to today, my light cavalry regiment intercepted them more than ten times, wounded, captured, and killed 26 people. We suffered more than 40 casualties and lost more than 20 horses."
"My unit's record is very poor. Ramsay's main cavalry record should be better than mine."
"Not much better!"
At this time, Ramsay rode to the river and said to the people in the water: "They are running too fast. Their horses have been specially trained to withstand hunger and thirst. Most of the personnel only wear leather armor and hold a handful of weapons." A bow and arrow and a dagger. The maneuver speed is very fast. Our troops can only drive them away and it is difficult to catch them. Until now, my team has killed more than thirty of them and lost more than ten people!"
"Why!"
When everyone heard this, they all lowered their heads and sighed.
Lin Fenghan glanced at the crowd and said loudly: "Why are you all so dejected?"
"As soldiers, our profession is very dangerous. We will face various dangers, setbacks, and deaths at any time. And these two days, these light cavalry on the opposite side have trained our team very well, especially the new recruits. Although Some of the newly joined militiamen have fled, but those are only a minority, and those who stay will become more mature. Vigilant, steady, and strong."
"The will of these soldiers who have been tested by war is undoubtedly strong. In the future, they will definitely become heroes like us, so we would like to thank the light cavalry who came to exercise our will. They have allowed us to gain more and more Precious stuff.¡±
Lin Fenghan clapped his hands and continued: "Those people also reminded us that we must train professional reconnaissance cavalry, army scouts, and guerrilla cavalry. After this battle, I will form a new reconnaissance cavalry battalion."
"Um!"
"indeed!"
"I also think it is necessary to train an exclusive scout force that is part of the army itself."
¡¡
Wow!
¡°Fuck you!¡±
"I will fight with you!"
"Kill them!"
??"Oops!"
"The military prosecutor is here!"
¡¡
Suddenly, a series of chaotic sounds came from the big village. Lin Fenghan and others turned around and looked in confusion. After a while, Vera ran over on horseback and said angrily: "The two newly joined militiamen among us are greedy for life and afraid of death. , in order to be brave, he went to the village to molest women, and he has been captured by the deputy captain of the centurion."
"How did you deal with it?"
Lin Fenghan asked with a frown.
Vera smiled coldly, slapped her right hand down hard, and said loudly: "We pushed these two people to the ground in public, and beat them two fifty times next to a woman in her twenties, which is a full Let their butts bloom, and issue a stern warning to the two of them and the surrounding soldiers, and the villagers are also satisfied with our punishment of them."
"Um!"
¡°As long as you are satisfied!¡±
"Why!"
Koland looked at the many soldiers around him who looked excited and showed interest, and sighed and said to Lin Fenghan: "Lord Baron, we currently lead an army of more than 20,000 people. In such a large army, there are many good and bad soldiers. It is inevitable that there will be some Some despicable people.¡±
"And those soldiers are all mature men, full of blood and energy. These problems cannot be solved by relying solely on war and training. They will definitely look for what they want in their free time during wars and marches, and we cannot Let that happen.¡±
"Robbing women from villages and towns is a sin. It will also cause dissatisfaction among the people in the areas we occupy and is not conducive to our rule. However, these soldiers are not saints. Even if our military discipline is strict, their sexual nature will not disappear. At present, It is indeed very effective for our army to be so strict and bring great order to the people in the occupied areas. However, there are still rumors that some vicious and evil people are lawless. In order to ensure that the news is not leaked, they actually killed them afterwards. Women and eyewitnesses, when I was marching, I heard that some people disappeared for no apparent reason."
"What?"
"is this real?"
Lin Fenghan's face turned grim. He suddenly stood up from the water and asked with a cold look at Corland and everyone around him.
"Don't get excited!"
Corland raised his hand and said softly: "These are some things I encountered as a knight in the West more than ten years ago. Our army has undergone your strict training and various inspections in the army. Generally, it will not happen. This kind of thing. But we must be more vigilant and find ways to deal with the energy of the soldiers. Otherwise, if we just block it, big problems will eventually occur."
"Um!"
Lin Fenghan looked at the startled people standing in silence. After a while, he asked Ke Lande, Ke Lande, Ma Youden and others: "Do you have any good solutions?"
¡°It¡¯s very simple!¡±
Kong Dai approached Lin Fenghan at this time and said quickly: "Open the army logistics supply market. Just like those previous lord armies, prostitutes, businessmen, masseurs, pedicurists, barbers, and casinos are allowed to follow the army, and so on. **With enough soldiers, there will naturally be a place to vent."
"ah!"
"this!"
Lin Fenghan looked at Kong Dai, Ke Langde and others with a gloomy expression, and said thoughtfully: "This is indeed a way, but it is definitely not the best way. I will never allow our soldiers to become gamblers, drunkards, and villains. Opening up the market for attendants and accompanying the army can certainly solve the problem of sex for soldiers. However, our marching traces, army situation, camp location, army structure, and various intelligence will definitely face the problem of being exposed. As long as there are prostitutes and businessmen following the army , these problems will arise.¡±
"But!" Pallas, the leader of the swordsmen group, looked at Lin Fenghan hesitantly and said slowly: "It seems that apart from this method, there is no better way to solve the problem than the prostitutes who accompany the army."
"No!"
"I will never allow our military intelligence to be exposed. This is the most dangerous thing." Lin Fenghan shook his head resolutely.
Centurion Ross of the Guards said: "Baron, what you mean is that as long as we can prevent drinking during the war and gambling on weekdays. Keep it secret and prevent the army's number, internal structure, marching traces, and garrison location information from being exposed, you can let the prostitutes ¡ùDo women, businessmen, etc. provide services to soldiers?¡±
"Um!"
Lin Fenghan nodded in acquiescence.
"good!"
Paros, the captain of the Guards Squadron, patted his thigh and said: "Baron, this problem can actually be solved."
After a pause, Paros pointed his finger on his forehead and thought for a while and said: "When our army is stationed at the station, we can give the soldiers a holiday and give it to the businessmen."?Permission to let them go to surrounding towns, merchants and prostitutes to spend money. When the army is marching, we can keep the caravan accompanying the army ten or fifteen kilometers away depending on the situation. In the army, each group of soldiers takes turns to take vacations and go out for fun. This prevents some businessmen and attendants eager for quick success from us to snatch the spoils of war and bring racial destruction to the occupied areas when our army is fighting. "
"oh!"
Lin Fenghan slowly shook his head and asked: "If we do this, our army's information will still be leaked a lot. Imagine if those businessmen, prostitutes, and masseurs were spies sent by our enemies to stay around us. , or these businessmen and prostitutes sell our intelligence for profit to obtain other things, then how should we prevent and deal with these things."
"ah!"
"this?"
¡¡
"Simple!"
Suddenly, Amari, a 17- or 18-year-old soldier next to Noni, raised his hand and said: "Baron, I think we can set up a special agency to manage the army camps, verify the identities of the merchants and prostitutes accompanying the army, and dispatch Infantrymen are stationed in the accompanying camp to monitor the situation here, and doctors are dispatched to regularly check the health and safety conditions of the accompanying camp to prevent the occurrence of diseases.¡±
"ah!"
"oh!"
"good!"
When everyone heard this, they all raised their thumbs and looked at Amari with admiration.
Lin Fenghan nodded with satisfaction, looked at everyone and said, "In that case, I will announce the establishment of a new department here. The name is the Military Market Supervision Department. Is any of you willing to be the head of this department?"
"Ke Langde!"
"Oh no!"
"Ma Youdun!"
"Uh! I won't do it!"
"Paros!"
"Baron, don't look at me. I have a job and I really can't be too distracted."
¡¡
Everyone present who had just applauded turned their faces and looked away from Lin Fenghan.
"How about you, Noni!"
Lin Fenghan glanced at everyone, glanced at Noni for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands and said: "You don't want to be the chief of the intelligence department anyway, so I will leave this department in your hands. I hope you and Amari can manage it properly. , and contribute to the Elantes army.¡±
"ah!"
"I¡¡"
Noni¡¯s mouth widened in surprise. Just when he was about to speak, a series of words came out of Kelande¡¯s mouth.
"Noni, just accept it!"
"yes!"
"Such a good official position!"
"Well! I'm so jealous!"
"yes!"
"You can use your power for personal gain, first put a beautiful woman into your waist, how wonderful!"
"Yeah!"
"Noni, if you are a man, just be happy and accept it!"
"You don't like the position of the Intelligence Department anyway."
¡¡
"ah!"
Noni opened his mouth in surprise and said: "Since you said so well, why didn't you agree to this position just now? Instead, you recommended it to me. You are too"
"Noni, we are brothers!"
"You must help the brothers and be considerate of the brothers!"
"Yes! We all have our favorite positions. We like military positions, fighting, and commanding the army. We can't do without our hobbies!"
"Yes! Noni, my good brother, you must understand the difficulties of the brothers. For the sake of the brothers, you should accept this position!"
¡¡
Kelande, Mayoden, Browner, Paros and others shamelessly tried to dissuade him.
"you!"
"you¡¡"
Noni pointed at the people he was persuading and was speechless. He took a breath for a while, looked at everyone seriously and said to Lin Fenghan: "Brothers, I can indeed agree to this matter, but I want to explain that I For the time being, I will help you all fill this position. Once a new suitable candidate is found, I will leave the position of the Military Camp Supervision Department."
"Baron, at the same time, I ask you to give me a higher military rank so that I can more conveniently manage the camp of attendants."
"good!"
Lin Fenghan said cheerfully: "Noni, from now on I canonize you as the brigadier general of the supervision department of the army camp. This position is equivalent to the rank of officer in the army camp. Any officer in the army camp will be appointed as the brigadier general."?They will all be subject to you. "
"Um!"
Noni nodded and said to Lin Fenghan: "Then I am stepping down from the position of Minister of Intelligence. I will hand over this position to my brother Nora. At the same time, I also want to say that Nora and I I still have some ability to analyze intelligence, but there is a big difference in the important task of building an intelligence department. There are many talents in our newly formed intelligence department, and the best among them is Emma Boumont, an outstanding intelligence talent. I I hope you can pay more attention to him."
