King’s Kingdom

Chapter 143: life in the army

The eight sub-military regions in the twelve southern counties are training hard and are preparing to launch an attack on the Northern Empire in the beginning of the coming spring. Although the news has not yet spread, every military region general and officer in charge of training hopes that these soldiers will be able to attack as soon as possible. of combat capability.

The blacksmiths work very hard. Sets of weapons and armors are sent to the warehouse in New Lanyin City, and sophisticated equipment is distributed to every soldier, which makes their training even more difficult.

Because after getting the armor, their training content changed from running with weight, training in formation, training with weapons, etc. to training in armor-piercing running, armor-piercing formation, and using armor-piercing weapons.

The weapons and armors of the soldiers add up to 32 kilograms. Although the soldiers selected are the stronger ones in the southern twelve counties, such a weight is still not easy to bear.

The purpose of armor-piercing training is to get them used to the burden of wearing heavy armor, so as to prevent them from becoming exhausted in future battles, or they are not used to fighting in armor, resulting in unnecessary casualties.

The Lanyin Kingdom has a small population, and there are even fewer warriors who can join the army. Therefore, every soldier is valued very much, and it is very necessary to wear heavy armor to protect their lives.

Moreover, the combat power that an armored unit can explode is often more than ten times that of an unarmored unit. The Lanyin Kingdom has few villains, so it can only be forced to follow the elite line.

The newly added soldiers of the Central Military Region are better in training, because they have long known that they will go on the battlefield to fight the enemy as a soldier.

Coupled with the deep-rooted belief in the God of War of the northern residents, they had believed in the Church of the God of War for hundreds of years before they came to the Kingdom of Rhine from the Duchy of Caddo. Whether they were using weapons or piercing armor, they were not very different from the real regular army. big.

Therefore, after just over two months of training, they are not much different from the veterans in the team.

It is worth mentioning that Theodosius made great efforts to increase the number of infantry in the system from 1,200 to 1,800, and used more than half of the prestige to increase the number of the Iron Paladins from three. Fifteen people increased to fifty people.

The number of Lanyin knights has also increased from nearly 200 to 300. So far, the number of heavy cavalry in the Lanyin Kingdom has reached 250. This is definitely a force that can play a decisive role on the battlefield.

In addition, the number of light cavalry has reached more than 600, and the number will continue to increase.

The hussars from the prairie are indeed light cavalry according to Jones's functional division method, but in terms of weight and equipment, they are by no means light cavalry, at most medium cavalry.

They are between the heavy cavalry, which is like a steel monster, and the light and flexible light cavalry, which makes the enemy extremely crazy. They can not only harass the enemy, but also cooperate with the heavy cavalry to divide the battlefield and chase down the defeated enemy.

They can also use their single-layer heavy armor and horse-mounted spears to replace their tasks when the heavy cavalry is out of hand. Maybe they are a bit inferior in the charge, but their versatility like a panacea is very superior. .

Theodosius intends to increase the number of these versatile hussars to about a thousand, and Beauliet Khan gave five hundred cavalry as a dowry for Critidos, and he only needs to hire five hundred to reach the standard in mind.

In the winter of the Lanyin Kingdom, the snow on the ground was not enough to reach the calf, but under this extremely bad weather, the soldiers of the Central Military Region still did not stop training, especially the newly recruited soldiers. longer training time.

A 100-person team, all wearing heavy armor, trotted in a column on the stone pavement around New Lanyin City. White smoke was exhaled from their mouths, and the cold double-layered face shield couldn't stop the heat.

"I'm really looking forward to today's lunch, I hope... huh... I'll have beef soup with bean puree at noon today, if it's white bread, too!"

"Better have a little honey! I remember when was the last time we had honey? Two or three weeks ago?"

"You only know how to eat!" A veteran team officer who ran with the team laughed and said, "I wish I could have some wine to drink. Since I became the captain of your group of rookies, I haven't touched alcohol for two months. It's gone!"

"This is your duty! Head!" The soldiers laughed together, running in the cold wind in armor. This was actually a very painful thing, but these soldiers did not find it difficult to accept.

Long before they joined the army, they had the mentality of being soldiers, because in the past Lanyin Kingdom, even if there was a regular army, once the war started, basically every man had to join.

Moreover, the teachings of the Church of God of War make them very clear, training, exercise, excellent weapons and armor, high morale, and obedience to orders are the keys to victory. Qualified warriors and commanders, Theodosius could have recruited monks to serve as officers in the army if he wanted to.

In fact, Theodosius had already planned to do this. These monks who had been immersed in the church for a long time, studied the classics of the church~www.readwn.com~, and polished their martial arts, often had higher morale than ordinary warriors.

Living in a religious atmosphere since childhood, as long as they fight on the battlefield, they can almost be called berserkers. Ordinary soldiers have a little bit of biological resistance to death, but they are not afraid of death at all.

In their rich spiritual world, death in battle is nothing more than another way to go to live in the kingdom of God, the God of War, and continue to serve the gods as servants of the gods.

And Theodosius doesn't need to worry that this approach will make the religious authority greater than the royal authority. In fact, he is not only the king of the Rhine Kingdom, but also the religious leader of this land.

Patriarch Pearson is indeed the leader of all monks, but he is subject to Theodosius, whether in the secular or religious system.

When the time came to evening, the day's training was over. The soldiers rested in the barracks. Their lives were quite fulfilling. In addition to training all day, they also had to wash clothes and bathe at night.

Although the weather was cold, after a day's training, it was very sticky and uncomfortable. They had to wash their bodies. Fortunately, the heating in the barracks was in place, so they didn't need to worry about catching a cold.

After having dinner and washing their bodies and clothes, the time often comes to eight or nine o'clock. They still have at most two hours for leisure and entertainment, and then they have to go to bed at eleven o'clock, because at eight o'clock the next day, they will go to bed. Get up and eat and train.

Except for the four days off each month, they all had to stay in the camp to live this life.

Although this kind of life is monotonous and tedious, it also brings them corresponding treatment. They not only have extremely high salaries, but also have very good meals. Their families will also be exempted from half of the tax due to this, and their children can also get priority enlistment rights.
