    In addition to these four standing legions directly under the imperial court, another important component of the imperial army is the imperial legion, or the legion directly under the principality. They are also legions with the regular designation of the empire, but in the administrative and financial aspects.  Each principality is responsible for this.  Their establishment is smaller than that of the Royal Court Corps, generally less than 10,000 people. They do not have the level of left and right wing flag corps, and they have fewer subordinate units.  An imperial regiment usually has two to three infantry regiments, two cavalry regiments, and one to two artillery regiments.  An imperial regiment generally has only two infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, and one artillery regiment.  However, in terms of organization below the regiment level, the Imperial Legion and the Royal Court Legion are basically the same. This is to increase organizational versatility.  In the current Great Holy War Expeditionary Force, there are nine imperial legions participating in the war. They are the 18th Legion and the 15th Legion of the Principality of Middenland, the 27th Legion of the Principality of Highland, and the 3rd Legion of the Principality of Nordland.  The Fourteenth Legion, the Twenty-sixth Legion of the Principality of Ostland, the Thirty-ninth Legion of the Principality of Ototmark, the First Artillery Corps of the Principality of Nunn, the Twenty-seventh Legion of the Principality of Avalan, Sti  The 41st Legion of the Principality of Ireland has a total of more than 43,000 people, with an average of about 5,000 troops per legion.  Of course, in fact, the initial strength of each legion to participate in the holy war is different, and it is not that even.  In addition to the four Imperial Legions and the nine Imperial Legions, the other main force in the Great Holy War is the Royal Guards, the so-called First Legion and the Marine Corps.  The First Army is a very large army with two infantry regiments and three cavalry regiments, with a total strength of nearly 20,000. Although the Marine Corps has only 4,000 troops, it is the king of heavy firepower with ten land battleships.  , possessing strength that cannot be underestimated.  In fact, half of the soldiers in this marine army directly under the imperial court are from the Sea Elf Dominion. The ship is full of pointed ears and looks more like an elf army.  In addition to the 100,000 regular troops of the empire, there are about 50,000 troops from other small territories, independent monks, temples, and mercenary groups participating in the Great Holy War, which is equal to half of the regular army.  However, less than 10,000 of them were actually incorporated into the main army and marched into Kislev, which was only one-fifth of the total.  This is because the Imperial High Command needs to consider whether the strength of the troops can cope with the test of the Chaos Storm. Marshal Yang is absolutely unwilling to rush soldiers without field combat capabilities into a decisive battle, because that will only allow the enemy to seize the opportunity to make breakthroughs at weaknesses.  That¡¯s all.  Soldiers are more valuable than elites. In history, there have been many incidents where a hundred thousand rabble were defeated by ten or twenty thousand elites. This is a simple truth.  "The Great Holy War with millions of troops! The Great Crusade with 200,000 cavalry!" This was a popular saying among the people of the empire during the Great Holy War. Although it was a lot of exaggeration, it actually had its basis.  Because the empire is a powerful country with a standing army of 500,000, and it mobilized more than 200,000 troops in this great holy war. After adding the entire army of Kislev, it is completely okay to call it "millions".  Of course, among them, there were about 234,000 field troops who actually left the empire and went north to enter the territory of Kislev. After excluding combat casualties and maintaining the rear supply lines and the remaining troops in each city, they followed Marshal Yang into Kislevgrad.  The imperial army that rescued the siege totaled more than 113,000 people, including 35,000 cavalry.  In addition, there were nearly 60,000 troops from the various dukes in Kislev who came to join forces, of which 37,000 joined the troops heading north for the decisive battle.  Most of them are cavalry, including 5,000 Windwing Cavalry and 800 War Bear Cavalry.  All in all, Marshal Yang now has a combined army with more than 150,000 troops. If the number of non-combatants such as military servants and businessmen are included, the total number is almost close to 200,000.  They have 100,000 war horses and pack horses, 40,000 camels, 50,000 long-haired oxen, 8,000 two- and three-wheeled carts, and 18 land battleships like hills.  The endless forest is like the ocean tide.  This is a majestic military that has rarely been seen in the history of Kislev, and it is also a rare great expedition in the history of the empire. In order to crush the chaotic storm of Slaanesh, the investment of the empire is incalculable.  "About tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will be able to see the red wall of Kislevgrad. The final decisive battle will also come at that moment. Your Highness Hyde, are you mentally prepared enough?" At the end of the battle against the strength of the coalition forces  After a rough explanation, General Chris suddenly straightened his face and asked a not very polite question.  In fact, at this moment, even his half-griffon turned his head and glared at Hyde's horse with a very unfriendly look.  "Your Excellency Chris is joking again! How could our noble Highness Hyde not be prepared!" Jessica answered Chris's question quickly before Hyde, and her wolf-ear headdress stood up as if it were alive.  In the past few days, Middenland¡¯s tenth championship has?She has been wandering around Hyde inseparably, perfectly executing the tasks given to her by Lisa.  Although Fleur was a little dissatisfied at first, Jessica's mouth was unexpectedly sweet, and she often gave the dark-haired girl intimate hugs and kisses, so she soon became indifferent.  After all, Fleur is a very sensible person, and she understands the importance of the powerful Jessica to Hyde's safety.  "I understand the cruelty of the decisive battle, and I am mentally prepared. Thank you for reminding me, my respected Lord Chris." Hyde smiled and answered General Chris's question in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.  He understood that Chris was not only the sixth champion of Middenland, but also a very interesting and experienced person. His reminder was by no means meaningless.  "That's good, my noble highness, let us fuck that Slaanesh witch's butt together! Let her and her goblins taste the power of our flag gun!" Chris looked at Hyde with a formal expression.  With an expression on his face, he suddenly made an ambiguous gesture of thrusting, and then laughed loudly.  This made Hyde slightly embarrassed, while Fleur's face turned red.  "Ah! Didn't Mr. Chris see that there are many elegant ladies here? You are so ungentlemanly!" Catherine, who was silent on the side, immediately jumped up and made a face at the bearded captain.  The girl with the red twintails was always not afraid of anything, especially when it came to Chris, who was always joking.  "Well, this time Jessica will also stand with the beautiful sister Catherine. Mr. Chris is so ungraceful!" Jessica smiled evilly and hugged Catherine's neck. While expressing support for her, she took the opportunity to  Oil was applied to her white breasts.  This made the red-haired Princess Tubalo frown, but there was nothing she could do for the time being.  The strongest has its own weakest opponent, and this wolf-eared girl can be said to be Catherine's nemesis even stronger than Fleur.  "Ladies must also be able to withstand it! I remember Miss Jessica said something a hundred times more serious than this when she was on the front line. Why did she suddenly turn into a delicate lady when she got to His Highness Hyde? Could it be because of something?  Is there a special reason? " Chris picked his nose with a smile, glanced at Jessica with a special look, and then stared at Hyde, showing a slightly malicious smile.  This made Fleur, who had been silent behind Hyde, immediately lower her head, while Jessica deliberately raised her breasts.  ¡ª¡ª  ¡ª¡ª  ¡ª¡ª Author's gossip ¡ª¡ªHistorically, Spain in 1562 had 330,000 naval and army troops.  The Netherlands has an army of 70,000 and a navy of 40,000.  Sweden during the Thirty Years' War had 162,000 troops, and the Tokugawa shogunate had 280,000 troops. If all the daimyo's armed forces are included, the number would be as high as 600,000.  The Ming Dynasty had a theoretically huge army of 2.7 million. Of course, we must understand that total military strength and single battlefield combat strength are two different things. In ancient times when there were no railways or ships, it was much more difficult to gather troops than in modern times.  There are fewer troops invested in a single battlefield. Each of your cities needs to be garrisoned. There is a distance between the armies. The number of troops you can assemble on the right battlefield at the right time will never be very large.  In European battles in the 16th and 17th centuries, the number of troops invested by each side on a single battlefield rarely exceeded 30,000.  Of course, in decisive decisive battles, there were examples of more than 100,000 troops being sent to a single battlefield, such as Charles V's war to rescue Vienna in 1529, when he brought 120,000 troops with him.  Although Warhammer World was born out of Europe in the 16th and early 17th centuries, it is a medieval magical steampunk with steam tanks, land battleships, dwarf airships and steam clockwork helicopters. The scale of its wars is naturally larger.  Some.
