Chapter 458

Victor said with a smile, "I trained the secret Knights of the Randall family by listening to trisley's advice."

The grand Legion strategy is a military idea put forward and implemented by Victor. Its purpose is to deal with the opponents of ancient alchemists. It involves changes in politics, economy, military, logistics, equipment technology, infrastructure and many other fields. But in the end, it should be reflected in the innovation of specific tactics and methods of operation.

After Victor's ingenious design, the grand Legion strategy was first supported by Sylvia and clement. Driven by the divine knights and the Pope, the knight lords of Renma hill and Neville Kingdom generally accepted the idea of "great army fighting consumption".

However, Victor's copying of the military system and battle array of the earth cold weapon era was questioned by the vast majority of Knight Lords.

Among them, the Duke of York and Lady Katrina were the most vocal opponents.

If the York family wants to explore the territory of the southern continent, they must first ensure that the people and horses are free from worries. At least 12000 soldiers shall be stationed in the three walls blocking the ant people, and the reserve force of the man horse hill shall not be less than 20000. Only when the Lords of the York family fully implement Victor's big Legion strategy can they meet the needs of developing and defending two fronts at the same time.

However, if the Lords of Renma Hill adopt the 5000 mercenary legion of Randall family, the Duke of York and Katrina can only recruit more mercenaries in order to ensure the military advantage of the Lord. The York family will fall into the quagmire of military competition. Perhaps, before opening up the southern continent, the finance of Jinshui city will collapse.

Katrina can't say that Victor's mercenary Legion will lead to the Duke's early bankruptcy. From a military point of view, she elaborated on the defects of Randall's mercenary Corps. Including the slow movement of the 5000 person mercenary Corps; Unable to play the core role of knights and clergy; Low combat effectiveness and mobility; It is particularly easy to collapse when encountering strong enemies, and so on.

Victor admitted that Katrina's view was correct. The 5000 strong mercenary corps must be arranged in a tight formation to ensure smooth combat order and command, otherwise it would be a mob. However, the priest's magic can not take into account 5000 people at the same time, and it is difficult for knights to exert their power in the military array. If the army collapsed, the knight and priest could not control the fleeing soldiers.

The soldiers in the army are all physical fetuses. Of course, they will collapse. If the army never fails, what else should the army do? In fact, since ancient times, almost every battle in the earth world ended in the collapse of one side.

However, Victor's ideal Legion often has more than 100000 people, and there is no legion with 5000 people. Does the commander have the ability to command so many people?

Katrina has discussed the Legion establishment with Victor many times. She hopes that the Randall family will divide 3800 mercenaries into eight small legions, each with 500 people. Only in this way can the mercenary Legion be compatible with the extraordinary power of knights and combat priests.

Victor never let go. Sylvia also remained silent on this issue.

She wanted to see what clever means her sweetheart had, but Victor had wavered.

Katrina asked Victor two questions: why should 5000 people be a mercenary? Can't 500 people form a mercenary corps?

Victor was stunned for a long time before he realized that he had made a cognitive mistake.

On the network of the earth world, the Macedonian infantry phalanx was blown to the gods, while the Macedonian infantry phalanx was defeated by the infantry phalanx of the Roman Empire. Victor took it for granted that the Roman phalanx was superior, and the mercenary legion of the Randall family was based on the Legion of the Roman Empire.

But what are the invincible battle methods in the world? If so, how could it be eliminated?

It is hard to imagine that the infantry phalanx in BC could last for a long time and sweep through the Six Harmonies and eight wastelands.

This makes no logical sense. Historical facts have also witnessed the continuous elimination and improvement of the methods of war of the army.

Macedonian soldiers defeated the army of the Persian Empire, but the Legion of the Roman Empire broke through the Macedonian square with the new tactics of throwing spears and short swords.

In the third century, the Germanic barbarians were oppressed by the Huns and migrated to the territory of the Roman Empire. In order to deal with the threat of barbarians, Roman Emperor dekri first carried out military reform and reduced the Roman Legion of 6000 to 1000.

In the fourth century, Attila, the Hun king, destroyed the Roman Empire and couldn't find the north. Even if the "whip of God" was defeated miserably in the battle of Sharon, the Huns still blocked the attack of the Roman coalition with carriages. This tactic was learned by the Huns from the Han army.

At the beginning of the 8th century, Spain fell, and Karl, the Prime Minister of the Frankish palace Martel abandoned the infantry phalanx tactics and formed Armored Cavalry to defeat the invaders. From the 9th century to the 10th century, Viking pirates and Hungarian cavalry swept Europe one after another. Facing the mysterious enemy, the infantry of the Western European kingdom had no place to play, but the Armored Cavalry was brilliant. Medieval European castles and knights came from this.

The Invincible Iron Knights defeated the Viking crazy soldiers and Hungarian cavalry, but met the Mongolian archers, followed by the English longbows... The once brilliant tactics of the Roman Legion have long been lost in the dust of history.

The God is the one who wins because of the change of the enemy.

Blindly imitating the tactics of the earth's cold weapon era simply won't work.

In contrast, the tactical methods of cooperation among knights, priests and human soldiers are more in line with the actual situation of different worlds.

One knight, four trainee knights and 20 to 30 elite soldiers form a knight team. With 3 combat priests and 15 paladins, the knight team can lead 140 vassal soldiers to form a knight brigade. Three cavalry brigades form a standard legion of about 500 people.

This is the largest military unit in the human kingdom. If there are more people, chaos will inevitably occur, which will reduce the combat effectiveness of the standard Legion.

In the fierce battle, several or even dozens of standard legions cooperate with each other and fight together. As long as the knight Lord and the fighting priest are still there, the loyal vassal soldiers will not collapse. If the knight Lord dies, the battle priest will lead the soldiers of the knight brigade to continue fighting. When all the Knights and priests of the standard Legion are killed, the soldiers must try to get out of the battle, reorganize in the rear, and join the disabled standard legion with the belief of revenge for the Lord.

What are the consequences of the withdrawal of 5000 troops in battle? Will the soldiers who have not been enchanted by the priest be frightened? How can a large Legion be divided into two groups of brave soldiers and timid soldiers?

Most importantly, even if the mercenary Corps has enough combat priests, but those combat priests are not Victor's subordinates, how can they allow the supervisor corps to take bloody measures to suppress the escaped mercenaries.

Trisley told Victor that the victims of the big fight in Dengshi city mainly died of trampling. Victor finally made up his mind to cultivate his own secret knight.

"I'm going to reduce the size of the mercenary Corps."

Sylvia blinked her charming blue eyes and asked with a smile, "honey, are you ready to give up?"

Victor's heart moved and asked, "honey, what do you think?"

Sylvia raised her slender hand, cut her hair and said faintly, "traditional tactics and tactics can't help me gain an advantage in the southern continent."

Augusta has tens of thousands of vassal soldiers, and the comprehensive strength of the York family is only higher than that of the SoLIM family among the great lords of Gambis. If the people and horses use traditional methods of warfare to explore the southern continent, not to mention the augustian royal family, even the Wellington family has more advantages than the York family.

Sylvia said softly, "in my opinion, the large Legion should be able to accommodate more tactical methods. For example, the vehicle array camp you designed is very good... Honey, the knight standard Legion is indispensable, but the new methods of mercenaries cannot be abandoned. Inclusiveness is the development direction of the large Legion."

Victor smiled, hugged Sylvia's soft body and said excitedly, "honey, we think of one."

The professional mercenary Legion is the bottom card for the York family to surpass other large families, but in Victor's eyes, the rapidly formed and continuously supplemented mercenary Legion represents the hope of mankind to defeat the mysterious invaders.

The main reason for the low combat effectiveness of mercenaries is the limited number of knights and priests.

However, with the promotion and improvement of the new farming and pastoral system, the number of believers and priests will increase simultaneously. The training potion and gold recovery potion will significantly increase the number and ability of trainee knights.

Victor readjusted the combat establishment of the mercenary corps, not that he completely denied the combat mode of the big corps, but a necessary supplement to the tactics of the big Corps.

The personal force of the alchemy militia is close to that of senior trainee knights, but their ability to make decisions at the moment is too poor to lead an army. Victor is going to adopt the young children and daughters of 100 poor nobles and cultivate a group of family dead men by using washing medicine, gold medicine and body shaping secret method. If half of them could awaken their fighting spirit and become senior trainee knights, the Randall family would have 50 generals comparable to the first-class knights. Combined with the alchemical militia and alchemical auxiliary soldiers, Victor could form 20 elite Rangers.

"I intend to transfer bear mercenaries and set up a general staff to take charge of the affairs of Randall's legion. Within 20 years, I will form a large legion of 30000 people, including 20 Ranger regiments with 300 people in each regiment, with a total of 6000 elite Rangers."

"In addition to the elite Rangers, there are Infantry Corps, chariot corps, Archer corps, Armored Cavalry corps and baggage corps, etc..."

Victor talked about his military reform plan. After hearing this, Sylvia frowned and said, "the staff has great power. Your War Bear mercenaries are ordinary people. Will the secret Knights of Randall family obey their orders?"

Victor said solemnly, "the Legion is highly hierarchical. It pays attention to doing everything when ordered, and those who disobey orders will be killed. Otherwise, those mercenaries will be scattered, and the war will collapse. Just trampling on them will kill and injure more than half of the Legion... Besides, the Staff Department is only responsible for providing advice to the commander-in-chief, and the command will be issued by the commander-in-chief himself."

Sylvia's eyes lit up and asked, "are you the commander of Randall's army?"

"I must be the supreme commander of the Randall family."

Victor smiled and said, "but there may be a commander below me... If the Randall family has five large armies, how can I control it alone?"

"Honey, actually you are facing the same problem now. You are undoubtedly the supreme military commander of the man horse hill. If the vassal lords of the York family have a large regiment, they are the commander-in-chief of your command. Of course, you can't give specific tactical instructions to the commander-in-chief, but can only put forward clear combat objectives. For example, ask count tellandon to, Capture a highland and build defense facilities. "

"Simply put, you only ask the commander to complete the task. You can't control how the other party plays."

Sylvia nodded, pursed her mouth again and said reluctantly, "then I can't enjoy the fun of fighting the enemy?"

Victor shook his head and said, "the divine Knight's extraordinary intelligence is more suitable for controlling the overall situation... It's a big battle on the scale of more than 100000 people! You can lead the rose knights to attack when you force the enemy's main force into a dead corner."

"A great battle of 100000 people..."

Sylvia blushed, her pink tongue licked her beautiful red lips and said with a smile, "it seems very interesting."

Victor stared blankly at Sylvia, stunned for a few seconds, coughed and said, "honey, about the cleansing medicine..."

"The material is ordinary, but the medicine is very expensive." Sylvia said with a smile.

Victor said with a smile, "you won't buy me a 1000 gold sol?"

Sylvia shook her head, stretched out her jade hand, shook it in front of Victor and said, "change the quota of three secret law warriors for one training potion."

"What?!"

Victor just wanted to jump up, but Sylvia pressed him on the sofa and blocked his mouth with red lips. A moment later, she released victor and said angrily, "you think it's expensive? Then it's better to pay 1000 gold sol. You need to know that each washing medicine made by kite castle is worth 3000 gold sol."

Victor said helplessly, "honey, it's really a little expensive..."

The Randall family and the church reached an agreement to exchange ten and a half dragon hearts, plus a group of Zesheng herbs and 400 jinsol for a quota of secret law warriors. The Randall family spent more than 1000 kingsol to cultivate a secret warrior. However, cultivating a secret Knight requires up to 10 training potions. According to the price of 1000 gold sols, to train a trainee knight, Victor needs to prepare 10000 gold sols. Train 100 trainee knights, that is, 1 million kinsol.

Victor doesn't have so much money, but he can take out the resources to train secret law warriors. There are imosen wizards and gold militia, and he can take whatever resources he wants in the Everglades.

Victor was ready to accept Sylvia's terms, but he couldn't be so happy so that she wouldn't see the flaw. Just when he was going to bargain, Sylvia shook her head and said, "the scholars of Rose Manor are cultivating alienated war beasts. The fast dragon cavalry of kite castle are all trainee knights. I don't have so many trainee Knights... But I can cultivate secret warriors to serve as war beast cavalry."

"However, the church has a quota for training secret law warriors for all families. Augustus is 1000 and our York family is 300." Sylvia looked sideways at Victor and asked, "Why are there no quotas for the secret warriors of the Randall family?"

Victor suddenly realized it and said, "after a long time, Pope Clement was trying to hide people's eyes and ears and train secret law soldiers for you?"

"What do you think? This in itself is a condition for Clement's alliance with me."

Sylvia raised her eyebrows, glanced sideways at Victor and said, "Randall is not the only one close to the lizard swamp."

Seeing that her sweetheart was a little depressed, she comforted her: "honey, the washing and training potions of kite castle have excellent effects. An average of five can make a trainee knight. But potions alone can't do without noble children. I've arranged for odel to go to the kingdom of sus to persuade Jin to adopt noble children of the Eastern League. Can I give you some... Are you satisfied?"

Victor cheered up and hurriedly said, "of course I'm satisfied. Just do it on your terms!"

"4000 kinsol adopted a child of Knight blood."

"Give me 20 first." Victor gritted his teeth and nodded heavily. The price is a little high, but he really doesn't have a channel to do aristocratic population trade.

Sylvia was very satisfied and asked with a smile, "how are you going to place the secret Knight of the Randall family in the future?"

"25 years of service, 50 square kilometers of land."

For the secret knight, the 50 square kilometer fief is a little small, but the land of the man horse hills is different. Sylvia nodded and asked, "Lord?"

Victor hesitated and said: "There must be a title of Lord... However, the nobles of the Randall family only enjoy the ownership of the land, and the land use right and administrative power are directly managed by Pinghu Town. Just like Lord Nelson, he and Linda have both important positions, and all the territory is entrusted to me. Of course, such emerging families do not have the ability to govern the territory. On the contrary, they now have more power than Lord Lords Many. "

Sylvia said with burning eyes, "you really want to fight the vassal system!"

Victor said leisurely: "times have changed. There are more and more trainee knights in the family. How many territories can we grant? And which Lord is willing to weaken his power? Family knights can be granted lords above barons... As for Lord lords, it's better to hold them in our hands."

Sylvia looked at Victor quietly, her red lips lifted, "good, this is also the result I want."

She stood up, smiled and asked, "by the way, you just said I was the supreme military commander of Renma hill. Did you obey my orders?"

Victor nodded and said seriously, "war is not a game. Military orders are like mountains and do what they say. As a member of the man and horse hill, of course, I must obey the orders of the supreme commander."

"That's good." Sylvia forked her slender waist, raised her delicate chin, and said proudly to victor, "I command you now to serve me well and meet all my requirements!"

In a rage, Victor picked up Sylvia, threw her on the gorgeous feather bed and jumped on her fiercely.

"At home, I'm your man!"
