Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Throughout the night, the camp was full of intermittent hustle and bustle and horrible shouts and curses, and it calmed down until dawn.

Alexander didn't sleep all night, he held Sophia leaning against a big tree, listening to the voices in the camp, his heart couldn't help but fluctuate.

He was not worried that the possible mutiny of the forced march would cause too much damage to the entire grain transportation team, because he knew that as long as the vast majority of people could persevere, there would not be too many problems.

But he still couldn't calm down. Obviously Nashan was stern or even cruel to calm down the soldiers who were behind or behind.

These people have undoubtedly become the first victims of this northward journey. Although knowing the bad performance of these people today, it is unlikely that they will have a chance to survive in the battles that may follow, but Alexander has to make for himself. Decided to feel helpless.

Finally, when the day was getting brighter, the camp calmed down, and because Alexander had not slept all night and kept holding Sophia, he already felt that his whole body had almost lost the intuitive numbness, even if he just wanted to move a little, then The soreness of pain and dizziness caused by fatigue made him tremble, but at that moment, Nashan suddenly appeared.

Although after a restless night, Nashan did not change much, he was still full of energy, seeing Alexander leaning under the tree, Nashan walked past and took Sophia from his arms very politely, and then used The other hand grabbed Alexander's shoulder and dragged him up.

"It's time to teach your little ones," Nashan pushed Alexander's back. "I believe you will think these people are a lot better when you see them again."

Alexander rubbed his face hard to force himself to wake up, and then he looked back at Nashan with questioning eyes.

"Not many people," Nashan whispered. "Some of the most violent people were hanged, and a few people were rushed to the plains. They will soon know what will happen if they spend the night there. As for Everyone is more honest. "

Of course, Alexander knew that things should not be as simple as Nashan said, but he did not ask.

When he decided to let Nashan solve all this, he had already made plans to face the worse situation.

Whether the sacrifice is worth it, just look at the soldiers who have been waiting in line before the day dawns.

Alexander didn't think that these soldiers would change anything in just one night. In his eyes, there was no change in these people except for a trace of obedience and fear. If there must be any, it means that these people have become more obedient.

The soldiers who were arranged to march quickly again did not raise any objections. Apparently, the coldness of Nashan shocked them the other night. Now these people have become obedient lambs. The food pounced on the enemy wolf pups, depending on what came next.

After slightly adjusting the manpower vacant due to the person who was left behind the previous day, Alexander ordered the team to move forward immediately, and this time he did not delay any more, but ordered the entire team to start moving quickly along the south bank of the Agrig River.

Although there are still many ways to go around this way, the team that speeds up more or less makes up for the time wasted by going around.

This time, Alexander was strict. He ordered the team to follow the previously arranged group squads to protect their shared food trucks. At the same time, the Bohemians screamed and urged the entire team.

The severe punishment at Nashan Night obviously played a role. This time no one left behind easily because of fatigue. The soldiers began to learn to clench their teeth and stick to stay with other people, because they knew that in such a place, once left behind even during the day It will also be very dangerous, and Nashan has already told them not to expect to be left behind in the future and there will be Bohemians to meet them.

"That's it, maybe we can really train an army," Nashan was somewhat surprised by the changes of the soldiers, which made him look at Alexander a bit differently. "I didn't expect you to have this way, these cubs changed. It ’s a lot more honest. It ’s a good thing for them to be honest. At least on the battlefield, as long as you are obedient, you wo n’t easily lose your life. ”

Alexander agreed with Nashan's statement that if the cavalry maintained their bravery and vitality by recklessness and aggressiveness, the infantry must rely on strict discipline to exert its power.

Because there is neither a cavalry ’s strong offensive force and mobility nor artillery ’s terrible firepower, infantry can only survive by forming a close group. Individual or scattered infantry cannot survive on the battlefield.

Strictly following orders is the only way for infantry to maintain discipline.

"There are dangerous plains everywhere outside the team. Only by following the team can you get rid of these dangers," Alexander looked around. Of course he knew that it was safer to spend the day on the Agrig Plain, otherwise people would stop thinking about The farming here survived, but because he deliberately ordered the team to speed up when it was getting dark, someone would leave behind at that time, but it was not safe on the plains at night. "After a night, for these soldiers They will become more willing to walk with everyone instead of leaving behind, "Alexander exhaled." This is our biggest success to date. "

"However, the price of your success is not small," Nashan thought carefully and said, "It seems that the peasant soldiers you have called are more than 200 people."

"279, sir," Uliu followed carefully, "There are 70 mercenaries recruited later."

"Oh, you remember it clearly," Nashan glanced at Uliu, then went on to say, "There was a total of 22 punishments that were not found yesterday and punishment at night. This is not a small number, let me calculate how much you still have people……"

"Adult, there are 257 people and 70 mercenaries," Uliu said carefully. "There are more than one hundred Brazilian Miyans you brought. We have almost five hundred people now."

"It's incredible."

Nashan looked at Uliu in surprise. At this time, Sophia was about to reach out and take a jug from the side. While watching the doglegs, she immediately ran over to the Moor who took the cup for her daughter. Nashan turned his head and said to Alexander People can actually write and count, if you want, I will buy him two Bohemian mares. "

Uliu, who was pouring water, shook his hand slightly and looked up at Alexander with a nervous look.

Alexander shook his head and looked at Uliu with a soft smile: "This is not enough, I still want him to be my director in the future."

Hearing what Alexander said, Nashan shrugged indifferently, and he was originally just curious about the Moors.

In Nashan's view, a Moor who can write a calculation is obviously more useful than a Bohemian who can wield a sword.

"Although some people have died, it will cost you a lot, but you will not lose money," Nashan continued. "As long as these people can survive the first battle, those who survive can become very competent soldiers. Although it ca n’t be compared with Bohemians, it ’s a good harvest for you. ”

Of course, Alexander ’s gains are more than that. When the long-distance food team was almost unable to support it, he finally vaguely saw a road ahead, and it was not surprising that Orion Carlo brought him back. News.

Joanna's team of Queen Naples is camping on the road ahead.

In fact, the queen has been camping for 2 days at this intersection where the Agri must pass.

When I heard from Olgala a few days ago that Alexander was about to lead the team north, the queen knew it was a good opportunity to repair his relationship with him, and the queen did need a reliable person to protect her on the road.

With a team of hundreds of people guarding Alexander is undoubtedly the best choice.

So the queen immediately ordered the servants to take advantage of their hands and feet. Those things that are not valuable can be avoided, even if they are too valuable, they can be sold on the spot.

Joanna is well aware of her situation. If there is no accident, once she leaves Naples, she rarely has the opportunity to come back again. The new king cannot tolerate the queen of the previous king always running into his country, so if there is no What an overly significant event, this departure is likely to be with Naples forever.

Joanna was not sad. Since knowing that Ferdinand not only left her no property, but left a lot of debt and trouble, Joanna has long been bored to continue to stay here, especially since she still has to be Forcibly moved out of the palace and lived in a crowded and narrow house, which made her more unbearable.

So once she decided to leave, Joanna's hands and feet became a lot more sloppy.

And Alexander had enough time to prepare enough grain and cotton in Agri, so she gave her enough time, so when she went on the road according to the time Olgala told her, not only did she not appear to be in a hurry, but instead went out After a short walk in Naples City, the camp stopped and waited for almost two days before seeing the Agri.

Seeing Queen Alexander only took Nashan, but left Sophia in the line.

He knew that Joanna was a typical aristocratic woman, and she would only express contempt and disregard for Sophia. This was absolutely unacceptable to him. On the contrary, Lao Sha would be much better. Sophia is full of contradictions, but does not show that kind of noble lady's instigation, which makes Alexander feel that his sister is still very cute.

The queen ’s camp was built in a wood not too far from the road. The autumn woods were littered with yellow leaves, and the former Queen of Naples, Joanna, was sitting in a tent on this blanket of fallen leaves.

Because the weather was already very cold, Joanna put on a thick fur travel suit and saw Alexander walking far away, and the queen's body moved, making her look more majestic.

But when she saw Nashan next to him, Joanna showed a little surprise.

"Your Majesty." Alexander stopped and bowed outside the tent before bowing, before entering the tent that was actually supported by only a few supports around it except for a roof.

"Agri's Gumbre." Joanna nodded, seeing Nashan walking in with her, her slightly sparse eyebrows wrinkled, but said nothing.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to introduce," Joanna's look fell in Alexander's eyes, making him feel right that he did not bring Sophia, the woman's disgust with the gypsy did not even cover up, just if she knew When the gypsy she looked down on was actually her husband ’s lover, she did n’t know what she would look like, and Alexander thought about it without hesitation, saying, "The guard captain Nashan next to Her Majesty Queen Bohemia . "

There was a hint of surprise on Joanna's face. She looked at Nashan strangely. I don't know whether it was because of his identity or a special instinct that a woman was born with. She looked slightly at Nashan. There have been some changes.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that you are leaving Naples?" Alexander did not want to talk nonsense. Of course he knew why Joanna camped in such a place where there was no village and no shop, and he was not against letting her take a ride. Car, after all, there is a queen who can at least save you a lot of trouble. "If you can not be abandoned, I hope to be lucky to travel north with your team. After all, the French have not been completely defeated. They even occupy Rome. Traveling together will be safer, and it will also make your travel more comfortable. "

Joanna gave her a little hold, but it was only for a short while. She nodded slightly and gave permission. Her original purpose was for this. In addition to indeed considering the safety of the road, she also hoped to repair and Alexander through this trip. Slightly rigid relationship.

Groningen let Joanna learn the power of wealth, and although the young man in front of her can not help her more than Groningen, but out of the woman's instinct, Joanna can perceive that Hubert van · Groningen seems to take Alexander quite seriously.

Otherwise, he would not specifically send that Olgala to send her a message.

This made Joanna feel it necessary to reconsider not to mess up his relationship with Alexander. In today's era where the kingdom is divided by warlords, no one can guarantee that there will be no second Sforza's kind of taking advantage of the chaos One character family.

Of course, Alexander did not know what Joanna was doing. He just hoped to use Joanna's identity to insure himself for this trip, although now it seems that Joanna may not even be able to protect herself.

Alexander ordered the team to camp near the Queen ’s Camp. Because the Queen ’s team joined, the entire team would be rearranged. Alexander decided not to hurry up in the afternoon that day, rest for half a day, and then move on.

What surprised Joanna ’s people was that although the grain transport team stopped, they did not rest upside down immediately as they thought, but with a whistle, the Bohemians began to follow The edge of the camp ran, and the soldiers who escorted the food were dragging heavy steps while urging and urging the driver and farmers to arrange the food trucks together.

"It's still a bit slow," Alexander watched the procrastinating team's eyebrows twist into a ball. "If there is an enemy attack at this time, everyone will already be dead."

"Don't you expect these people to block the enemy," Nashan laughed sarcastically. "Only the infantry of less than 400 people can't deal with a large number of cavalry, not to mention that many of them have never seen blood, I think you It ’s still a waste of time. If you have to arm your small site, I can find you some more Bohemians, even if the price is not very high. "

Looking at a businessman-like Nashan, Alexander was a bit skeptical of how many gypsies he had.

However, although the old man promised to give a preferential price, Alexander knew that even if it were cheaper, a large number of Bohemian cavalry would not be able to afford it today.

What's more, in his plan, he did not expect to rely on pure mercenaries such as Bohemian cavalry to develop his own strength.

The lessons of Sforza have made all the monarchs in Italy have been vigilant. A mercenary eventually overthrew his employer and took the crown of the Duke himself. This kind of thing only needs to happen once, and no one is enough. I hope to be the second hapless man to be robbed of his own power.

Alexandria knew better than those monarchs how dangerous it would be for a country to rely entirely on mercenaries. This has been enough for Milan, who had been seized by Sforza, and the Roman Empire, which had suffered from prosperity and decline earlier.

What's more, he is very clear that the war will become more brutal in the future, and the scale of the war will become larger and larger. It is obviously no longer enough to rely on the mercenaries who receive remuneration, even as the number of troops required increases, Even those monarchs who are famous for their wealth are overwhelmed by huge rewards one day.

"I want to train my army." Alexander looked seriously at the slow and messy working team, which had some effect on their strict control. At least today, there are far fewer people left behind than the night before. The leader of the team ordered that the soldiers struggled to do things despite being exhausted.

But this is not enough. What he needs is not a group of obedient labor but soldiers, which requires him to find more ways to make these people become active.

"Maybe there is already a good opportunity," Nashan narrowed his eyes slightly at the Queen's camp not far away. His action reminded Alexander that he would make such a move every time before Sophia would do something. " What could impress those wolves better than this. "

"Wouldn't you be the queen's idea?" Alexander looked at Nashan a little surprised.

"Can't you, don't you have any idea that the queen carries a lot of things, which will be very inconvenient along the way." Nashan whispered. "Don't look at me like this, I'm the bohemians you said, Do n’t you just live by stealing and robbing? Besides, these things are enough to feed a lot of people. Do n’t tell me you look jealous. ”

"But I can't just rob the queen," Alexander shook his head. "And she is still useful to me. This woman is the 'key' to Rome."

"What are you going to do in Rome?" Nashan asked strangely. "Aren't you just sending the grain to the north? What is the name of the person receiving the goods? By the way, James Columbus, what's the name? Just a doomed guy. "

Alexander looked at Nashan silently. It seemed that Nashan inherited the powerful divination ability of the Gypsies, but just casually said that he had the same story of the fateful James.

"Don't touch the queen," Alexander reminded Nashan again. "It's not safe on the way. If we don't want to cause too much trouble, we must ensure that the queen can reach Rome smoothly. She is very important to us."

Nashan nodded helplessly. Sometimes he felt that the son-in-law was really a bit of a horn. If it wasn't that there was nothing ambiguous between him and the queen, Nashan had to suspect that this kid might have other thoughts.

The weather in late autumn always changes quickly, the sky is still clear at noon, and suddenly becomes overcast in the afternoon.

A large icy cold wind pours in from the gap between the vehicles and emits a whistling "whistling" strange noise.

Alexander sat in the tent, Sophia curled up next to him and watched what he was drawing on the paper.

"Ah ~?" Sophia pointed out the weird patterns on the paper first.

"Do you ask what this is," Alexander asked with a smile, and when she saw Sophia nodded, she took her and explained, "This is called a phalanx, which is a battle formation that needs to be deployed in advance during the battle ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Train our infantry to learn this kind of square matrix while on the road so that it wo n’t be too passive in the event of a battle. "

Sophia's face immediately became uneasy, and she looked at Alexander with some concern, as if he was about to go to battle immediately.

"Do n’t worry, I ’m not so unlucky, but this phalanx must be trained as soon as possible, otherwise we are always not safe," Alexander kissed Sophia ’s forehead comfortably. The Macedonians are somewhat different. In addition to strict discipline and bravery, the soldiers must be able to cooperate with others familiarly. They must master how to change their formation flexibly in the face of strong enemies, and they must learn to The musketeers among them cooperate to fight. Even when needed, they can cover the musketeers and fight for them for even a short time. This is a little difficult, but as long as the training is successful, it can exert unimaginable tremendous power. "When Alexander was talking, his eyes glowed with excitement. He even forgot to chat with Sophia, completely immersed in the idea of ​​the other team.

Unlike other people who may not have enough confidence in this kind of assumption, Alexander clearly knows that what he described is completely achievable. When he thought of the miracle of war that this phalanx can create in this era, he could n’t help but feel hot. Now, since this phalanx is composed of Agri people, then call it the Agri phalanx!
