If I let you farm, will you become the emperor of the empire?

Roman's attitude towards farmers is strong suppression.

But it is different towards soldiers.

His attitude is encouragement and comfort.

Roman never loses his temper with soldiers, only asks about their well-being.

If there is any blame, only Dick and Jet, the two instructors, can be blamed.

So his prestige in the army is very high. In the eyes of those soldiers, he is much more friendly than the cold-faced evil spirit Jet.

After the pre-war speech, the army's fighting spirit was fully mobilized by him.

It is different from the looting speech at the end of winter.

Last year's soldiers were very loyal to Roman.

Because they have nothing, all the materials and foundations come from Roman.

But among the two thousand soldiers this time, half are conscripts from Kant Territory - their physical fitness is relatively good, and it is easier to train them into usable soldiers.

It is not easy to get them to work for Roman.

The river beach defense battle is a defense, so they are willing to help Roman with their heads held high, which is a passive battle.

There is no way, eat human food and do human work.

But it is too difficult to lead them to counterattack Kant Territory.

Especially when they are fighting with fewer troops.

So, Roman has done a lot of things during this period of time -

Give them military pay, welfare, and treatment.

High-intensity training, make them lose their ability to think, quickly integrate into it, and dilute the previous ideological imprint.

Language seduction, speak ill of the nobles, throw dirty water, incite anger, and ignite the will to resist.

The whole process is a combination of soft and hard.

Sticks and carrots, these little cuties are confused and lame.

...

Just do it!

Roman held a pre-war military meeting with middle and senior officers and confirmed the previously formulated war plan.

There is no clear tactics.

Although they have been cramming for two months.

But they have only changed from a group of rabble to a group of pretentious rabble.

Roman does not expect them to complete complex tactical actions.

The simpler the formation, the better.

In Roman's eyes, let alone this batch of new recruits, even last year's veterans are unqualified professional soldiers.

It is true that you are a professional, but if you are not qualified, you are not qualified.

Their military literacy did not meet Roman's requirements at all.

Of course, they did follow orders.

But for the army, following orders is the foundation!

What comes after the foundation is laid?

It is battle formation training, coordinated operations, and seamless cooperation.

For example, the enemy attacks in large numbers, the heavy soldiers are in the front line to block, and the spearmen in the back are waiting for an opportunity to move.

This is a very standard war mode.

But how can the heavy soldiers ensure that they will not interfere with the rhythm of the spearmen's thrust.

And how can the spearmen stab the enemy who is just unprepared from the gap.

These combat skills are very simple, really simple.

Veterans can do it, and so can new recruits.

But ten veterans face thirty new recruits, and they can stab ten new recruits to death in one encounter, and then chase and kill the twenty new recruits.

What they differ is not physical fitness, but the judgment of seizing the opportunity.

If you act rashly, you will give the enemy a chance.

In a turn-based game, once your attack is dodged by the enemy, you will be stabbed.

Don’t look at what Roman is saying now, how high the morale is now, and how excited everyone is, and they can’t wait to chop off Count Kant’s head.

But Roman is sure.

No matter how well-trained his two thousand soldiers look, once they go to the battlefield, they will definitely panic!

Roman dares to swear.

If a small number of soldiers panic and flee on the battlefield, it will trigger a chain reaction and lead the entire front to collapse!

There is no way to avoid this situation.

Roman can only nail the loose army.

The logic is this-a brave and capable elite soldier leads a dozen ordinary soldiers to fight cruelly.

As long as this elite soldier does not die, the morale of the army will not collapse.

This is also Roman’s most basic military unit-the squad mode.

A squad leader leads 11 soldiers to fight.

Roman now has 4 captains, 20 squadron leaders, and 100 team leaders.

Most of the team leaders are apostles, and a few are brave and elite non-commissioned officers who are not apostles.

All the squadron leaders and captains are apostles.

Roman never trusts and never relies on ordinary people.

They are just lambs, they will waver and run away, and he cannot place high hopes on them.

Rather than letting him believe that ordinary soldiers will fight to the death, he would rather believe that there will be no more exploitation and oppression on this land.

Human nature cannot stand the test.

Roman only believes in apostles.

His apostles will fight on the front line, facing a battlefield environment that is more dangerous and cruel than ordinary soldiers.

But their chances of survival are also much higher than ordinary soldiers.

Nothing else, Roman has used up all the red gems these days and exchanged them for dozens of battlefield simulation coupons.

Roman's battlefield simulation not only allows him to review those battles with the apostles, but also allows him to re-examine and observe those combat details.

Who retreats, who attacks, who dares to fight, and who is unreliable.

It is clear at a glance.

Through dozens or hundreds of simulated battlefields, the apostles were all affected.

Their eyes became more and more sharp, their swords became more and more swift, and their movements were murderous, as if they had really experienced those wars.

They have some characteristics of veterans.

And veterans are difficult to kill in the era of cold weapons.

It's just that due to limited resources, one ruby ​​can be exchanged for about 3 to 5 simulation tickets, and one simulation ticket can carry 12 apostles.

Roman took the apostles to experience looting and river beach defense battles over and over again.

So it was mainly the latter.

Because defense battles are more tragic than looting.

At that station, Roman lost nearly a hundred soldiers - he had been looting in Kant Territory for several days without such losses.

The enemy only lost more than 500 people, and including the captured remnants, there were only more than 700 people.

The casualty ratio looks very good.

But what is the reality?

Of the more than 500 people, at least 200 were shot to death by arrows.

Roman's soldiers took advantage of the geographical advantage and waited for the enemy to tire.

The enemy paddled to the shore under the arrows, and when they came, they were exhausted and had to attack the shield formation.

If it was Count Kant's conscripted army that launched such an offensive... the example is not valid.

But it must be said that the fighting power of the noble coalition was amazing. Under various disadvantages, they managed to achieve such a casualty ratio.

Especially the warriors of the Beast Carter family.

So he realized the strength of the Beast family.

If they were fighting on the plains, with the same number of troops, the two sides would most likely be evenly matched, and the casualty ratio would be one to one, and the other side would most likely win.

Because the other side's physical fitness was higher than his soldiers and they had more combat experience.

Roman could only do whatever it took to strengthen his apostles and soldiers.

But to date, only a hundred apostles have been trained. As for the effect, it can only be seen on the battlefield.

…

At the end of the first month of summer.

Tomorrow is midsummer.

Roman left the town of Sger with two thousand fully armed soldiers.

During this period, all production stopped.

Everyone had a weapon, and they knew how to use it.

If the noble coalition dared to steal the house, the servants and farmers who stayed in the town of Sger would tell them what the anger of an honest man was.

The work in Sige Town is already very hard, you want me to go back to a harder life? (annoyed)

Those farmers have no illusions about nobles other than Roman.

In addition, Roman also deployed scouts upstream.

Once he found that the enemy was gathering ships upstream, he would immediately launch a full-scale attack - it would take at least half a month to gather a fleet that could carry thousands of people, and only some of the elite troops could come over - Roman specially built a few crossbows, which could not be equipped on a large scale, and were too complicated to make. A few crossbows were not enough to deal with a large number of conscripted troops, but they were just right for a small number of elite troops.

This time, all the troops were sent out, just to beat up all the nobles who threatened his development.

Coincidentally, because he recruited too many soldiers, he now had no cattle and horses to help him harvest wheat.

Then he would completely destroy Kant Territory!

Grab more laborers!

Roman has made up his mind!

End all this before the summer harvest!

Such a big move is naturally impossible to hide from everyone.

When Roman's fleet appeared, it was discovered by the sentinels stationed downstream.

A bird spread its wings and flew to Count Kant's castle.

…

The most difficult, dangerous, and cruel battle since Roman became the lord is about to begin!
