Sovata City, Duke of Aquitaine and Duke of Martley have been sent back by Li Huailin to prepare for war. Li Huailin also came to his private military camp. It was the first time he had come here and saw his troops for the first time.
Speaking of the first time I saw this group of troops, Li Huailin still had a headache because the large group of soldiers below... Although the equipment looked very neat, it was not very good from the momentum of the troops. Now his team is very morale, probably because Li Huailin killed their commander for no reason, resulting in a surge in morale. Because of this, the group of soldiers below are eager to try and seem to want to fight, but in fact this is a performance that only new recruits can do. If they were replaced by the Second Corps, although their morale was high, they would definitely be very quiet. But there is nothing we can do about this. Who made these guys really have only one new recruit unit?
Through his own territory management panel, Li Huailin looked at the current situation of these people.
First Light Cavalry Team: 1200 people, team level D, experience 520, loyalty 100, morale: positive 7.
Second Light Cavalry Team: 1255 people, team level E, experience 308, loyalty 100, morale: positive 7.
The captain of the First Cavalry Team was Bennett. Because he had intermediate cavalry training skills, and because the first team formed a relatively early, the troops were promoted to level D. Now Bennett has been killed by himself, so this unit has become a direct army of Li Huailin.
The Second Cavalry Team is relatively bad. The lowest E-level evaluation is that the captain is Bruno. Speaking of this guy, he is now standing next to Li Huailin with an excited look on his face. He is so excited that his father was cut to death for no reason. This guy is so excited that he burst into tears and wishes to die for Li Huailin.
"Lord, the troops have already gathered. There are 2,455 people." Regg, who was standing beside Li Huailin, reported. He thought that Li Huailin's orders could be implemented so simply. Not only did there be no trouble, the soldiers were very moved, and they all said that the Lord was wise and powerful, with clear rewards and punishments, which made Regg not know what to do.
After thinking about it, he is worthy of being the Lord. What can he do? He is really not able to understand, if he understands it, he will not be able to be a duke.
"McCan, what do you think?" Li Huailin turned around and asked McCan who had just arrived. After arriving, this guy immediately entered the position of deputy general. After taking the current information, he started reading it, and never stopped for a moment.
"This... Marshal, to be honest?" McCann asked with his head raised.
"Nonsense, do you want you to flatter me?" Li Huailin said.
"This unit is really... so bad that there is nothing to say. The reserve team of the Second Legion is much better than this group of people. It doesn't even have enough training time, Marshal. Can we really fight with this kind of unit?" McCann said.
The soldiers below were all fresh recruits with strong energy. They were so anxious that they were blushed when McCann said it, but no one dared to refute anything. The Second Legion is one of the best ace troops in the empire now. Look at the Silver Wind Guard, which is known as the elite troops on the elves, was defeated by the Second Legion. If they could enter the Second Legion, they would also want to enter. The problem is that the second Legion's standard for recruitment is too high. Ordinary people may not be selected. Any regular legion of the Second Legion can be used as a small non-commissioned officer. There is a gap in the levels of the two sides.
However, McCann seemed to have not seen how anxious the soldiers below were, and continued: "Our main opponent, Duke Lotner, has a total of 5,000 people, and they are all teams left by veterans of a hundred battles. The combat effectiveness is absolutely complete. Although we are all cavalry units here, according to the information here, Duke Lotner's troops also have 2,000 cavalry units. They are more elite than us, so we don't have the advantage at all. Marshal, how to fight this battle?"
"I won't be able to play well if I have the advantage?" Li Huailin said, "Now our winning rate is about 10%. Can I play this kind of forced 19?"
"This kind of battle has a 10% chance of winning, it's not a loss to the marshal..." McCann said with emotion.
"Everyone must fight to the death. These days, we have trained hard for this battle. I hope everyone will not cherish their lives and serve the marshal!" Regg next to him immediately shouted.
"Serve to death for the marshal!" the soldiers also shouted immediately.
"How much time does it take for us to get to the battlefield now?" Li Huailin asked.
"Soon," said McCann, "our troops are all cavalry units, and there is no need for logistics supplies for the time being, so we can set off without waiting for the baggage team. In this way, our marching speed is very fast. If we march quickly, we can reach the battlefield in one day. If we are a normal marching, we can achieve it within two days."
"No logistics?" Li Huailin asked a little strangely.
"Well, this is actually the attention of Marshal, your Minister of Finance Olivera." McCann explained slightly. In fact, Li Huailin's fief is still far from the fief of Duke Martley. If ordinary troops march, 4-5 days will be required. However, Li Huailin's different this time. He is full of cavalry troops, and the marching speed is very fast. There is a new solution to the supply that originally slowed down the marching speed. Generally speaking, the baggage troops have to fight in places without supplies before bringing their own food. Li Huailin's marching this time was all within the empire, and the cities that passed by were large and small along the way. Generally speaking, the baggage troops had to fight in places without supplies before bringing their own food. However, Li Huailin's marching was all within the empire, and all the cities passing by were large and small along the way.
There were more than a dozen people, so there was no need to consider the problem of food and grass. At the beginning, I brought some dry food and bought it at any time on the way. Moreover, Oliveira had contacted the people from the De'an Chamber of Commerce and had prepared food and grass for Li Huailin along the way, so there was no problem at all. Besides, the city lord dared not give Li Huailin face in the city that passed along the way. If the troops passed by, they would come out to entertain him and asked them to ask them for some supplies. Can they not give them any more? Li Huailin went on this expedition at will, as long as he led the cavalry troops forward, the baggage troops followed slowly, and there was no problem at all.
"That's it." After hearing McCann's explanation, Li Huailin nodded. This was a good idea. However, Li Huailin was not in a hurry to rush over, but it was good to be able to arrive earlier, so he said, "Okay, then we're ready to set off now."
"The whole army has it, get on the horse!" Regg roared next to him.
Two "swish" sounds, all the soldiers turned their horses' backs, and their horse movements were neat and uniform, which made Li Huailin's eyes lit up.
"Huh? The horse-mounted movement is pretty good, very imposing." McCann said here, this water product looks really a bit like an elite force.
"In terms of riding, they have put in a hard time," said Regg. "Of course, other aspects still need training, that is, we can fight immediately and get off the horse's battle, so we don't have time to train."
"Don't increase my winning rate for no reason, bastard." Li Huailin said, "Forget it, everyone listen... wait... I really want to forget an important thing."
"What's the matter? Sir?" asked Reg next to him.
"Call me Marshal in the military camp." Li Huailin reminded.
"Yes, Marshal." Regg immediately saluted Zhan Zheng, "What are the commands the marshal has?"
"Don't you think that a guy of my level will appear in person, it's not that there are a little less... props that increase momentum, etc." Li Huailin said.
"Oh? What is that? Marshal?" Regg asked without thinking it out for a moment.
"I'm talking about military flags, military flags! Without my military flag, how can anyone know that I'm in the military formation? I'm going to be useful for me to appear." Li Huailin said.
"Oh, is the Marshal talking about the handsome flag? Yes, it's really necessary." Reg nodded, "I don't know what style the Marshal wants. I'll ask someone to do it immediately and I'll do it right away."
There are thousands of servants and a lot of tailor masters in the Duke's Mansion. It is very easy to find a few, but it is just a military flag, which is basically done in minutes.
"Well, I've been thinking about it for a long time. I have to design this." Li Huailin nodded.
Half an hour later, a strong flag-carrying soldier appeared on the platform in front of the army. The soldier who had just been promoted to the only member of the flag-carrying team raised the newly made flag and raised it higher. In an instant, all the soldiers present... were petrified.
I saw a huge black flag on the 7-meter-high flagpole, and there was no pattern on it. It was just that the two huge white characters "awesome" were written on the top. There was an arrow below, because the flag was now standing on Li Huailin's head, and this arrow just pointed to Li Huailin's head.
"How is it?" Li Huailin said with satisfaction.
McCann: “…”
Reg: "…"
"Marson, do we really use this flag?" Looking at Li Huailin's quite satisfied look, McCann asked carefully.
"Nonsense, isn't it cool?" Li Huailin raised his chest and fought under the word "Awesome", then raised his head and said, "This look... isn't it cool? Isn't it cool? Isn't it cool?"
"..." McCann held his forehead.
"That, the marshal is indeed unique and deserves to be a role model for us." Reg went up and flattered.
"Well..." Li Huailin nodded, "Okay, everyone can see clearly. This will be my handsome flag from now on. From now on, the direction of this flag is where my will is. Wherever the flag goes, you will kill me wherever the flag goes. Do you understand?"
"Yes! Marshal!" the soldiers present shouted in unison.
Chapter completed!
