King’s Kingdom

Chapter 287: march

In the face of such an opponent, the nobles of the Northern Empire were a little unsure in their hearts. As the saying goes, there are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys are called kings. When Theodosius was away, they dared to provoke at the border, but when Theodosius came back, they would Withered like a male disease.

Of course, in addition to the panic-stricken people, there are still a group of real men in the Northern Empire. They are the radical militant factions that exist and are essential in every country.

Although everyone has a b-number for their own country's strength, it is impossible for them to submit to this, not to mention that they are very clear that Blue Silver Wang Gui's aggressive attitude is simply impossible to fight by starting a war. How to solve the problem before.

Therefore, although they were not optimistic about the outcome of this war, the lords of the Northern Empire responded to the emperor's call and rushed to their assembly point with their troops.

After Theodosius had beaten the blood of his soldiers, he waved his hand and shouted: "Go!"

In just over three minutes, the fighters who had assembled into several square formations quickly transformed into a parade of troops, rushing towards the south.

After walking out for about five kilometers, and the last baggage team only walked a few hundred meters, Theodosius ordered to rest first, remove his armor, switch to a light state, and then move forward after half an hour.

After all, this fully-armed stance is just a pretense. If you are marching in heavy armor of more than 30 kilograms, you are purely mentally retarded.

Not to mention slowing down the marching speed, it will also consume a lot of physical strength of the soldiers, as long as the IQ is normal, they will not do this.

After the armor was removed, the warriors' movements became lighter, and the armed clothes could not bring them any burden. As for the armor and spears, they were all piled up on the carriage or donkey cart at the back.

The logistical support for this expedition team is still quite in place. In addition to Theodosius allocating a horse-drawn carriage or a donkey and mule cart to each team, soldiers from wealthier families can also carry several batches. A pack horse or mule, used to carry some other small equipment.

For example, meat cleavers, cheese made at home, changed clothes and shoes, although the combat boots are distributed uniformly, but there is only one pair per year, in case of any accident, it must be replaced. As for armor boots... that thing is actually There is no bottom, mainly to protect the instep and ankle on the outside of the shoe.

In addition, this animal can also bear the role of carrying loot. If it is not explained in advance that the soldiers can discuss it, everyone does not need to carry livestock. The entire team is estimated to have more livestock than people.

There are more than 1,400 carriages for each team alone, and that's not all, there are more than 500 carriages carrying food at the back of the team.

The food in these carriages is about enough for the soldiers to eat for about 20 days. It is not much, but it is just enough.

First, the entire Lanyin Kingdom is a king's land, and there is no private domain of the nobles. No matter where you lead the way, you can supplement it. Second, the new Lanyin City is not far from the gathering place of Changjian Castle, only about one hundred and eighty. The distance is only a kilometer. It only takes ten days to get there. If the speed is increased, it can even be reached in seven or eight days.

Looking at the long line, Theodosius couldn't help but nodded. These warriors were talking to each other very rarely, and everyone was sullenly moving forward, with only the matter of marching in their minds.

He is very satisfied with this kind of discipline. An important difference between the modern army and the classical army is the level of discipline. Even in the age of cold weapons, this discipline, like morale, is an important factor in determining the combat effectiveness of the army.

These soldiers rarely talk to each other when they are on the march, which just shows that their discipline is quite excellent, which can ensure that they will not be defeated by fear on the battlefield, and they can save a lot of money on the march. physical strength.

Moreover, after the tempering of the war, the quality of the Southern Army, which was under-trained, has also caught up. In addition, after the end of the Anti-Magic War, they had more than four months to train, so the combat effectiveness was only a line behind the Northern Army. , it is a proper elite in any other country.

After traveling for more than half a day, it was already evening, and Theodosius ordered to stop advancing and set up camp to eat.

He was very satisfied with the effect of today's march. He walked 16 kilometers in just five hours, and he walked an average of more than 3 kilometers per hour. This speed was quite good in the age of cold weapons.

You must know that even the infantry teams of World War I and World War II were only four or five kilometers per hour. Now Theodosius has not given an order to speed up the march, and it is quite good to be able to reach this speed. After all, the carriage behind Slowed down a little bit.

It is still very troublesome to set up a camp, and it takes a lot of time. After all, the modern army is different from the ancient army. In addition to the camp tents, the Lan Yin army has to place fences and other defense facilities around the camp.

What's more, there is also a huge gap between the equipment of the classical army and the modern army. As for the current marching tent in the Lanyin Kingdom, it takes at least an hour or two of ten people to build it up.

These tasks take up a lot of energy of the soldiers, and they can only spend about seven or eight hours on the march every day. These seven or eight hours also have to include several breaks, so it is already enough to walk 20 kilometers in one day. Quite a good progress~www.readwn.com~ Diodosi felt that if the current Lan Yin army really wanted to attack and force the army, it was estimated that they could run about 40 kilometers in one day. The Northern Empire war fighters have already done it. The current Lan Yin army training includes a lot of long-distance running endurance training. If they run for a long distance like the last time, they will never be so embarrassed.

The soldiers finished building the camp, and the sky darkened. This time, the speed of setting up the camp was not slow, but it was just over an hour. After all, this is still the scope of the Lanyin Kingdom.

Except for scattered monsters, there can be no enemies. Even if the Northern Empire is close to the territory of the Lanyin Kingdom, it can't be so fast. Therefore, the soldiers did not build a complete camp, but maintained a marching formation and camped on the side of the road. A good tent, put some fences next to it to keep out horses, and leave one person to guard and sleep peacefully.

Thick smoke rose from the camp, and the smell of meat was so attractive after a day of marching. The soldiers munched on the boiled jerky, filled the bean and wheat porridge in wooden bowls, and the team officers cut and distributed them with a knife. The large pieces of cheese that came down were distributed to everyone one by one.

The soldiers also exerted their ability to survive in the wild. They found some wild vegetables everywhere. After washing them by the stream, they directly stuffed them into their mouths. The knowledge that you will not be able to **** if you don't eat vegetables is quite popular.
