Chapter three hundred and twentieth army expansion
There are two reasons for Ronan's confidence. First, his troops are far more elite than Mayweather's troops. If they fight in a local or narrow area, they may not lose to Mayweather's 30,000 people. Moreover, on the battlefield with cold weapons,
There is also a morale aspect to the fight, and Ronan has absolute confidence in this aspect.
The second is that Ronan also has a systematic recruitment function, and the number of troops will increase as the territory increases. After capturing the entire east, Ronan's troop limit has increased greatly. Ronan is now
They can pull out an army at any time, which means that Ronan has a reinforcement force that Mayweather would never guess, which can catch them off guard.
Although due to financial reasons, most of Ronan's new recruits are middle-level soldiers, the average is still much higher than that of Mayweather's army, especially in terms of equipment. Gaoling does not have particularly advanced ones.
Forging technology, so the difficulty and price of armor forging are higher than those of the Hinterlands, whose technology is already very mature.
Ordinary Gaoling soldiers do not have sophisticated enough armor at all and can only wear crude armor or armor captured from the enemy. Soldiers from wealthy families may also bring some armor and weapons of their own.
The basic infantry of Mayweather's army only have a set of chest protectors made of wood inlaid with thin iron. There is only a chest protector, and the back is completely unprotected. In addition to saving materials, it is also to tell the soldiers not to turn their backs to the enemy.
Escape means death. It is better to fight head-on and still have a chance of survival. The helmets of these soldiers are just simple helmets studded with leather, exposing the entire face. Those with better conditions can have a chain-mail cap to enhance protection and protect the neck.
Grind prepared a rich lunch for Ronan at noon, including roast chicken, roast lamb, large steaks, as well as various desserts and fruits. Ronan, who had eaten enough military rations during this period, had a great appetite.
He ate half of the sheep and countless others.
After eating and drinking, Ronan ordered the soldiers to start resting and prepare to get up early to face Mayweather. He took Ocide, Jackson and some other guards out of the city in a carriage and walked away into the distance.
"Your Majesty, this place is too empty. It is impossible to hide an ambush. The only place where we can ambush is the position where we ambush the cavalry team before. But the enemy obviously cannot stumble somewhere and will definitely be prepared.
And it is entirely possible that they will not take this road, but go straight to Starfall City from here!"
In the carriage, Jackson held a map in front of Ronan and said while gesturing. Ronan looked at the map and fell into deep thought. Then he said slowly:
"Since we can't ambush them, we won't ambush them. We'll just block them here!"
Ronan reached out and pointed at the exit of the valley south of Fort Bussenge and said.
"But Your Majesty, in this case we will not only be unable to take advantage of our cavalry, but we will also have to withstand the impact of the enemy's cavalry."
Jackson said immediately after hearing Ronan's words. Ronan nodded and thought it was right.
"That's right. After suffering a loss, Mayweather must have learned how to cheat, and he probably won't take our bait anymore. If it doesn't work, we will fight them head-on!
Forget about this for now, we have already arrived at the place, and the most urgent task now is to study how to distribute the 4,000 soldiers we are about to recruit!"
Feeling that the carriage was listening, Ronan said immediately, and then he opened the curtain in front of the carriage and walked down. They were now on a vast grassland. The entire grassland was extremely empty, and there were no people in sight.
Some animals reveal themselves when the wind blows the tall grass down to their waists.
Looking at these slaves who were almost as tall as humans, Ronan suddenly had an idea and immediately asked Jackson:
"Jackson, is there such high grass on one of the two roads that Mayweather's army must choose?"
"Well, I really didn't pay attention to this. I'll go investigate immediately!"
Jackson smiled awkwardly and said.
"Okay, if there is one, find the most suitable place. We can let the infantry hide in the grass. Then we use the cavalry as a force on the surface, and let the soldiers ambush in the grass directly during the battle.
Attack them and beat them to the punch!"
Ronan clapped his hands and said, and then after Jackson entered the spiritual state to survey the scene, he and Ocide began to discuss how to allocate the quotas of these soldiers.
"I think we should recruit some soldiers who are fast and have strong melee capabilities, and it is best to have some throwing weapons. In this way, after rushing out of the grass, you can use the throwing weapons to cause a wave of strikes to avoid the distance.
The reason was reflected by the enemy.
And they should be ambushing some archers, and they must be some good archers who can always lurk in the grass and continue to attack the opponent!"
Oshid thought for a while and then said, Ronan thought for a while:
"In this case, let's ambush a group of Rhodok's crossbowmen at the edge and let them use crossbows to cause a wave of damage. Moreover, they also have certain combat capabilities. Then arrange some with better physical fitness and good skills.
The Nords, who use throwing axes and throwing spears, are arranging some Filwitz Berserkers and Gladiators who are good at chaotic fighting.
Well, we should be recruiting some Rhodok warriors who are good at using long-handled weapons to help us deal with the enemy's cavalry, and their battle formation abilities are also good."
As soon as he thought of it, Ronan immediately began to allocate it. The most expensive Filwiz Berserkers only had more than a hundred people. They were responsible for turning into sharp knives and inserting them into the enemy's formation after the Nord soldiers attacked the enemy, and making progress within the enemy's army.
Disrupt and cut the enemy's formation so that they cannot concentrate their strength.
The gladiators recruited by Kress were all masters of one-on-one and chaotic combat. Ronan prepared 400 gladiators to cooperate with the berserker attacks.
The core Nord warriors recruited 1,500 people, and the rest were recruiting 100 Rhodok crossbowmen, 400 Vecian archers, and finally a thousand Rhodok spearmen.
and sickles were used to deal with cavalry.
After a long absence of large-scale recruitment, the number of gold coins in Ronan's wallet has shrunk rapidly. Fortunately, he now has the support of a country, so he won't feel too distressed, and he will not be dragged down by the same high follow-up salary. Of course,
In fact, the current annual fiscal revenue of the Rongxia Empire is not enough to support Ronan to maintain such a large professional army. Now he has been eating the capital of the old Gaoling Kingdom.
After finishing dealing with Mayweather, Ronan will either have to disband the army and let them disarm and return home, or he will have to directly attack the Eagles and use war and invasion to divert his financial pressure.
Soldiers were constantly being recruited, and soon, an elite army with high spirits and high morale appeared in front of Ronan.
