Warlord: King of All Clans

In these days, parading with the legion is also a very expensive activity.

The lord's army of the river bend normally only carries three days' worth of dry food, and can bring at most one week's worth of dry food. For short-term combat, they can use some donkeys and horses to solve the problem of food transportation.

However, as long as the march and fighting lasts more than half a month, a large number of civilian laborers will be needed to provide logistical supplies.

Logistics and transportation is also a very profound subject, involving the selection of roads, the deployment of manpower, and the ratio of soldiers to civilians in the team.

The grain transport team had no armed protection, so even a group of refugees could go up and steal two carts of grain.

But the civilians and soldiers who transport food also need to consume food. The larger the transport team, the more food they consume.

At the same time, as the number of days of marching and fighting increases, the ratio of food provided by the logistics team to its own consumption increases exponentially.

Theoretically, a combat soldier only needs one laborer to provide half a month's rations, but three laborers are needed to provide a month's rations.

Therefore, logistics and transportation cannot use economies of scale to reduce costs. In large-scale and long-term wars, logistics has always been the biggest difficulty.

This is just food, and does not include supplies of armor, weapons, etc.

Leo has two space storage props in his hands. In short-term combat, he does not need to consider logistics issues, but if the war lasts for a long time, logistics support must keep up.

This armed parade lasted for a full month and covered all 22 large villages under the jurisdiction of the United Knights.

In fact, this place is not far from the river bend, and the time is not long. Two bags filled with food are enough for the lord's army.

If there is really no food, Freya can rush back to the river bend overnight and bring back more food to fill her pockets.

However, the purpose of Rio's armed parade is, on the one hand, to intimidate the clan forces of the United Knights and pave the way for subsequent large-scale development; on the other hand, to take the opportunity to train the marching and combat capabilities of the River Bay Lords' army, as well as his own ability to lead troops.

Since arriving in the alien world, the operations that Leo has independently led have almost remained at the level of small-scale fighting. Regular legion operations almost always involve the participation of flag-bearing generals.

The River Bay Lords' army rarely fights away from home, and almost always fights to protect their homes.

Except for the one hundred veterans who followed Leo to participate in the racial war, no one else has left Isenpol.

Whether it is the soldiers' marching and fighting capabilities or the generals' command capabilities, they are all trained in actual combat. The theoretical knowledge in books can only be verified when it is put into practice.

If Leo hadn't traveled through time, he would have said it was simple just by swiping on his phone.

But now that he has traveled through time and has his own territory, every decision he makes determines the life and death of the people in his hands, so he can only proceed steadily and step by step.

How much to walk in a day, how to set up camp, and how to deal with unfamiliar geographical environments all require practice to gain true knowledge.

So this armed parade seemed to have only one thousand regular troops, but there were actually one thousand mixed military and civilian troops in front as the vanguard, responsible for building bridges and roads in a wartime state.

In the middle, a thousand lords' troops were on armed patrol. Although they knew there were no enemies nearby, they still deployed scouts, set up camps, and marched strictly according to wartime standards.

Behind them, there is a logistics team of 3,000 people who provide food, fodder and weapons to the main force.

Taking advantage of the fact that a large number of laborers were idle before the spring, Rio mobilized them to hold a large-scale military exercise in the river bay.

That night, Leo was sitting in the tent when Roman walked in from outside.

Upon hearing the news of Leo's armed parade, Rigolav quickly sent his son over to learn from Leo.

For the knights in the North, managing the territory is secondary, fighting is the primary thing, but the younger generation has few opportunities to lead marches and battles. Many young knights have followed their fathers into battle for ten or eight years, and only have the opportunity to lead troops in battle when they reach middle age.

Rio is organizing an armed parade, and Roman can also take the opportunity to gain some internship experience.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the tent, and a bright lantern provided lighting. Leo was holding a book and reading with a frown on his face.

Knight Romon laughed, "My second brother is on the march and fighting, and he still has to study at night. Father must be very pleased to see you like this."

Leo threw the book in his hand and said angrily, "What the hell! I won't read it anymore!"

Luo Meng picked it up and looked at it, then nodded and said, "Imperial Military System, not bad, I read it when I was fifteen."

This is a military book from another world, equivalent to an alien version of "The Roman Military System", which covers the empire's military system, tactics, marching knowledge and some weapons manufacturing technology.

This thing is a military treasure these days, and only the great nobles who have passed it down for hundreds of years have a collection. Leo's copy was sent by the Grand Duke of the North.

Apparently, the Grand Duke of the North also disliked Leo's lack of knowledge, so he not only sent him famous military and political books of the empire, but also ordered the Knights of the Wind in the letter to strictly supervise Leo's studies.

However, this "Imperial Military System" is not the original one, but a re-compilation by the people of the North. It has a strong personal color and attaches great importance to the role of personal bravery.

Leo read for a long time, but only saw the word "mang" written between the lines.

Unfortunately, he had never read The Art of War. Even if he had occasionally read it, he could hardly remember it, so he could only look for theoretical knowledge in these military books from other worlds.

After chatting with Romon for a while, Leo asked, "How is it going? Has the Gram family's problem been solved?"

Luo Meng nodded and said, "With a thousand regular soldiers blocking the door, what can't be solved? The owner of the family agreed to everything on the spot and planned to move."

The Gram family is a clan power ruled by the Gram Knights. In a large village of 600 people, 400 of them have the surname Gram.

Because the former head of the Gram family, Corner Knight Ford Gram, participated in the Gladstone family's attack on River Bay, and then participated in the rebellion of the Adonis family, he finally brought about his own death.

After the head of the family died in battle, his descendants failed to inherit the family territory. Instead, it was taken away by Rigolav in the name of Leo, and was temporarily vacant. Finally, it was divided by Leo among the extraordinary knights of the river bay.

This territory is now called Wood Knight Territory.

This result obviously would not satisfy the Graham family. The current head of the family, Ford Graham's younger brother, is committed to restoring the family's glory.

Seek ownership of the territory through various disruptions and struggles!

From his traditional perspective, in a village of 600 people, 400 of them listened to him, so no matter how you looked at it, the feudal lords had to compromise with him.

After all, the primary purpose of feudal lords distributing land was to maintain their rule, not to create chaos.

If this knight's territory is not returned to him, there will be no hope of stable production!

The River Bend craftsmen stationed in Knight Wood's territory were only responsible for the early road and land planning, and negotiated with the local villagers. As a result, they were beaten by the head of the Gram family who rushed over after hearing the news.

The reason was that the road to be built in Hewan would encroach on their fields.

The head of the engineering planning team repeatedly stated that a thousand Lords' troops from the River Bend were coming and asked them to remain civilized, but they were still beaten up.

In the face of huge interests, the saying "don't cry until you see the coffin" can be applied to almost everyone.

Only when Leo and the River Bay Lords' army really confronted them and put swords to their necks, could they feel fear.
