Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Chapter 374 Preparation and the Eve

The Hunter family is very efficient under Richard's management, especially in engineering construction. Because Richard has long attached importance to infrastructure construction, the Hunter family has already hoarded a large number of engineering talents, and now they have started to work The kobolds who live tirelessly join in. With the combination of the two, the construction capabilities of the Hunter family's engineering team are absolutely unrivaled in this era. Since Richard ordered to build the Crusader training camp in accordance with Ressel's requirements, no matter what In three days, a training camp covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres had already taken shape.

At this time, Li Cha was also leading Ressel to select qualified soldiers in various barracks.

Silver Wing Legion Camp

Because of Li Cha's army expansion order, the Silver Wing Legion has expanded from more than 20,000 people to 50,000 people. The recruits were added this month, thanks to Li Cha's strict management of the army and the good source of soldiers in the Northland. Most of the new recruits have been added, but the entire Silver Wing Legion's camp still looks orderly. It has not been greatly affected by too many recruits, and the shelf is still very stable.

Of course, too many new recruits still have a certain impact on combat effectiveness. In the eyes of experts, there is still a big difference between well-trained recruits and battle-hardened veterans.

Just like Ressel who followed Richard into the Silver Wing Legion's camp, he began to observe after entering the camp gate, and then shook his head constantly, as if he was not satisfied with the supply of Silver Wing Legion's soldiers, which made the Silver Wing Legion on the side The head of the legion had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, this man was simply embarrassing him in front of Mr. Richard.

"The soldiers trained well."

Fortunately, Li Cha's affirmation later made the head of the Silver Wing Legion look a little better.

"Thank you for your compliment, my lord."

"My lord, there are too few qualified soldiers. Unless they are selected from officers, ordinary soldiers can hardly meet the conditions."

Ressel didn't care much about the expression of the head of the Silver Wing Legion who was accompanying him, he just described it truthfully. After all, he couldn't explain to Richard that he couldn't train the crusaders with unqualified soldiers.

"How many suitable soldiers can be selected from among the officers?"

Li Cha is still prepared for the harshness of the requirements for the soldiers. How can you say that the crusaders on the white board are also the combat effectiveness of the knights at the beginning level. The value is too great.

"If you can choose officers, there are probably more than two hundred qualified soldiers."

After wandering around the base of the Silver Wing Legion for so long, Ruisel is of course not just for nothing, he basically checked the background of the Silver Wing Legion. According to his selection criteria, at least a hundred members of the Silver Wing Legion can meet the requirements. The officers above the commander had to be the stronger ones among the centurion commanders. They were all of the strength above the quasi-knight, and they were veterans who had participated in several battles.

After Li Cha changed the military system, the captain of the regiment was in charge of 1,000 people, and most of them were masters of the knight rank. The crusader training meant little to them.

After hearing this data, Li Cha pondered for a while. It will take time for Ressel to train these people into crusaders. Three months is not long or short. If so many people are suddenly taken away from the Silver Wing Legion The words of senior grassroots officers will inevitably affect their combat capabilities.

They can only be drawn from different units, and try not to affect the combat effectiveness of the legion too much.

"Drop 30 people from the Silver Wing Legion, and the rest will be deployed from other legions."

"Yes, my lord!"

Soon, Ressel took away thirty lucky people from the Silver Wing Legion, and it couldn't be said that they were lucky. , is also given priority based on the number of military exploits.

These people can now skip the hurdle of accumulating insights from other quasi-knights and successfully become knights within three months.

"Let these people pack up their things and set off immediately, and report to Miracle City."

"Yes, my lord."

The head of the Silver Wing Legion saw that Ressel had chosen 30 of his best low-level officers in this way, and he felt a little distressed, but the Hunter family's army is not a warlord army, and Richard gave an order Next, don't talk about drawing people, even if the Silver Wing Legion is disbanded on the spot, it can only be done.

Afterwards, Richard led Ressel to gather the first batch of trainers in the Sun Legion and Griffin Legion, which were a little closer. Now go back to the City of Miracles and let Ressel wait for all the personnel to arrive before starting the training of the crusaders. After three months, these trained crusaders will return to their respective legions, that is more than a hundred The knights were supplemented as low-level officers. In time, the proportion of knights in the Hunter family's army would exceed that of the royal guards, and it would become like the orcs. It is not impossible for each centurion to have a master of the knight rank.

Ressel is also a workaholic. Not long after Richard finished selecting soldiers, he rushed to the newly built training camp to start without having a few sips of pleasant afternoon tea with Richard at the Duke's Mansion in Miracle City. Ready to work.

Li Cha didn't sit idle for long, and his cavalry general, Adelaide, quickly found him.

"Master Li Cha!"

Although Adelaide is not a legendary hero, he is capable of becoming a hero from an elite knight. Not to mention his personal strength at the peak of the earth, he is definitely good at using cavalry. The cavalry training has put forward quite a few effective reform plans. Although they are just minor repairs, occasionally there are ideas that catch Li Cha's eyes, so Li Cha still pays more attention to Adelaide's visit.

"General Adelaide, you don't need to be so polite, just sit down and talk about something."

Li Cha pointed to the seat in front of his desk to Adelaide, and motioned for Adelaide to take a seat, but Adelaide obviously did not have the habit of sitting on an equal footing with the lord, so he stood there and explained his purpose to Li Cha .

"My lord, I found that the number of light cavalry in our territory is seriously insufficient, and there are some problems with the tactics."

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

"Our light cavalry is currently pursuing speed too much and focusing on light equipment. In fact, it is a bit wasteful to do so. Although we lack heavy war horses, we do not lack qualified light horses. We can completely talk about cavalry as infantry and infantry as cavalry. .”

The heavy war horse that Adelaide mentioned should be the Western Territory horse. Although the Hunter family has already started to breed the imported Western Territory horse, this is a slow job. It will take some time to equip all the cavalry. Now Henry There are one thousand armed heavy cavalry from the special family, and the Scarlet Flame Knights have expanded to one hundred and fifty people, and the rest are light cavalry riding on northern horses.

Although Adelaide's words were a bit convoluted, Li Cha still basically understood what he meant, and seemed to think of something important under Adelaide's reminder, and his interest suddenly increased.

Under Richard's gesture, Adelaide continued:

"Our light cavalry should be trained in infantry battle formations like infantry. When they go to the battlefield, they should not only wear thin armor. Soldiers with heavy armor and strong crossbows must be able to fight on horseback and dismount. They can By surpassing the high mobility of ordinary infantry to seize key points, mount a horse to pursue and dismount to attack a city."

Li Cha became more and more familiar with this set of tactics. In fact, the early Eight Banners soldiers were this kind of cavalry equipped for several battles, not light cavalry with single functions.

It is a good thing to come up with such a cavalry, at least you can get an elite that can maneuver fast enough, but will the requirements for soldiers be a little higher?

Seemingly seeing Richard's doubts, Adelaide said to Richard confidently.

"My lord, as long as I gather some horses and qualified soldiers, I am confident that I can train the army."

Tsk, obviously leading more than 10,000 cavalry is not the limit of Adelaide's ability. Adelaide, who can be promoted from an elite knight to a hero, also has a positive appeal. This is to add tasks to himself.

Of course, Li Cha will not refuse this kind of thing. Although there are not enough large horses in the western region, after controlling the wilderness, there is still no shortage of high-quality northern warhorses. It's a lot worse, but it's not without its advantages. At least it's not that expensive. Endurance is also good, but it's quite suitable for long-distance raids.

"You go to Chief Iger to add 20,000 new recruits to your cavalry corps, and I will ask Town Demon City to deploy the horses, but let me tell you in advance that there are not many recruits in the Northland who can ride horses since they were young, but I hope you can Let them quickly form combat effectiveness."

Li Cha's request sounds a bit excessive. It is not easy to train someone who has no foundation in equestrianism into cavalry. Li Cha also requires rapid formation of combat power, which is not generally difficult.

But Adelaide obviously had enough confidence in himself and promised Richard.

"After the horses and soldiers are in place, I promise to bring a cavalry capable of fighting for the adults within three months."

Adelaide's confidence is not unfounded. The infantry cavalry he wants to train doesn't need to be so superb in riding skills. As long as he can ride on the road in the early stage, three months is enough to get a good look. After going out for a few battles, you can basically practice it.

After sending Adelaide away, the tea gradually cooled down, and Li Cha had no interest in drinking tea anymore, instead of asking the waiter to warm the tea, he went straight back to the desk in the Duke's mansion to read a few volumes of recent miscellaneous affairs . When Li Cha handles public affairs, he has to review some important decisions in person, and he also requires that all kinds of administrative matters be reported to him. He occasionally takes a few volumes to check, which can be regarded as a warning to the subordinates. Let the officials below maintain a certain awe.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Follow up, if someone in the flag group can't walk, the head of the flag group will run with the person on my back, don't stop!"

wilderness

An army was constantly trying to increase its speed under the urging of the officer. Although it carried a lot of heavy equipment, the army's forward speed was not slow at all.

And judging from its military appearance and the uniformity of the team, it can be seen that this is an elite division.

This 50,000-strong army is the Flying Bear Army ordered to go to the border of the wilderness to support it, because Quill received the order to carry all the heavy equipment and ensure the marching speed to reinforce the wilderness as soon as possible, so the following appeared: In this scene, Quill's talent is not weak, and he is extremely loyal to Li Cha. Li Cha's orders are very good, and he can carry out them with a 12-point attitude.

Just like now, the Flying Bear Army under his command has been on the road for almost ten days. Since Quill quickly gathered his troops and set off on the day he received Li Cha's order, the soldiers are already showing signs of fatigue. But Quill still kept urging to speed up. Fortunately, most of the soldiers of the Flying Bear Army are veterans. Although they are not as well-equipped as the Dragon Army, they are definitely not inferior to the Dragon Army in terms of tenacity. All the soldiers still gritted their teeth and persisted. .

"My lord, there are our scouts ahead."

"It should be the cavalry sent by Lady Elena to lead the way!"

Marching in the wilderness has a high risk of getting lost. Seeing the scouts coming from the opposite side at least shows that they are not lost. The morale of the soldiers is greatly boosted. Seeing that the army's morale is available, Quill immediately ordered:

"Speed ​​up! Work harder and try to reach the destination tonight, so we can rest for a night!"

wild frontier.

The vanguard composed of more than a hundred snow giant warriors has approached the original hunting ground of the Ice Flame Tribe. In the past, no large and medium-sized tribes would visit this place. This place is cold for humans, but not for the Snow Giants. It is not a comfortable environment, and the mammoth herd, the iconic prey of the Snow Field Tour, is also difficult to come here. In the eyes of the snow giants, this is a place of little value.

But today, there is a rare gathering of bad snow giant fighters, and as the follow-up snow giants keep entering, the number is still increasing.

The actions of the snow giants basically did not deliberately conceal their size. If their size could not be concealed, the scouts who spread out soon found out.

"Master Elena, the scouts have discovered the Snow Giant, which is about fifty miles to the north. They seem to be stopping there to gather their forces, and they may reach us within two days."

"My lord, our scouts have already spotted the Flying Bear Army, and they will arrive tomorrow at the latest."

"It came just in time."

This time the Snow Wind Department sent not only their own fighters, but also recruited some fighters from affiliated tribes. There are thousands of snow giant fighters in total. This force cannot be blocked by Eileen's current subordinates. , must have enough reinforcements.

Even the Flying Bear Army alone is not enough to go down, we have to wait for support from Li Cha, but Eileen is not worried that Li Cha's support is not timely enough, with teleportation, Li Cha's side must be Can arrive on time.

"Order the scouts to continue monitoring, don't get too close, just observe from a distance, everyone else should be vigilant and ready to fight at any time."

"In addition, let the Bone of the Ice Flame Department bring a few soldiers under him to join the battle. Don't compete with those captives. After this battle is over, he will only think that the Ice Flame Department has too many prisoners."

"Yes, my lord!"
