Chapter 239: The Wells Legion
On the third Saturday of September, at the training ground outside the Beiguan Military Fort, the autumn wind in the wasteland howled and raised the blood-eyed howling wolf heraldic flag erected high on the platform of the earthen fortress general.
Under the heraldic flag, Art, dressed in a full suit of black plate armor, a cloak of burqas, and a steel knight's sword at his waist, stood on the platform, and the autumn wind raised his cloak.
To the right of Arte stood the knights Otto and Angus, the leading knights of the Baron of the Frontier of the court, who were also dressed in shiny plate chain mail and black cloaks; On the left stand the civil magistrate "Knight Honorus" Cooper, the military priest Robert, and the parish priest Hamish.
At the head of the stage were the Reyek Wandering Knights, Ron, Kazak, Lusignan, and Tuba trainee knights led by Bass;
The knightly attendants were followed by the knightly attendants led by Colin and Triduok, Jafar, Klaus, and others;
Behind them were a dozen former battle group leaders and veterans of the former army who were listed as officers;
The largest group of people in the training ground stood at the back, they were the newly recruited soldiers who had just finished the basic training of recruits, these recruits had formed a habit of arranging the military formation after a whole month of torture, although it was a bit of a show, but more than 400 people were neatly arranged vertically and horizontally, giving people an inexplicable sense of shock and solemnity.
On the left side of the general's stage, next to the army, stood a dozen or so people in civilian clothes, who were civil officials and representatives of the people who had been invited to watch the inauguration ceremony of the legion; Behind the civilian civil administration were more than thirty standing peasant soldiers of the valley garrison regiment wearing simple burqas and cloaks.
"My soldiers, my brothers." Art opened her throat and yelled, because there were so many people here that the sound was too small to reach everyone's ears.
"Today, we gather in this blessed land to witness the birth of a mighty army. This army will be brave and resolute, because we have wise and resourceful commanders of all ranks to lead the troops, because we have elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles to lead the charge, because we have brave and resolute soldiers and brothers who are indomitable; This army will be loyal, from the revolt against the bandits to the reconquista, from the purging of bandits to the battle of the enemy, from Swabian in the east to Lombardy in the south, many of you have followed me all the way through these years, and you will always be the brothers I can give to my back, was, is, and will be; This army will be faithful, we have never oppressed the good, we have never plundered the weak, we have never attacked the church, we have kept the honor and faith of a warrior like a knight. ”
"Many of you are beloved relatives and battlefield brothers who have followed me for many years, but many more are new brothers who have just been drafted into my army, and you should feel honored to be here as a member of the army that is about to be formed."
Art's voice grew louder and louder, and at last he almost roared, "For, I, Atwood Wells, will solemnly promise to you in the name of God that I will lead your victorious army to be invincible."
"The Victorious Army, Invincible"
"The Victorious Army, Invincible"
"The Victorious Army, Invincible"
Under the stage, the voices of hundreds of soldiers became louder and louder, and everyone's excitement became more and more boiling.
After a few sounds in the valley in the crowd, Arte drew the knight's sword at his waist, raised it high, pointed to the sky and shouted: "I, the Baron of the Frontier of the Court of Burgundy and the commander of the legion, Atwood Wells announces that the Legion of Wales will be officially established from now on."
The general shouted three times on and off the stage.
After the crowd was finished, Art continued: "Next, I announce the establishment of the Welsh Regiment and the appointment of officers."
After the operation and manipulation of the Earl Balwyn, the military lieutenant of the court, the court has approved the establishment of a frontier garrison regiment in the county of Tinets in the south of the kingdom, subject to the military minister of the court, and the border garrison regiment is named the Welsh Regiment after the surname of the commander of the regiment.
The court did not care about this army, that is, it did not pay military salaries or pay for weapons and armor, in essence, it was a private army of lords in the name of the court, so the military system of the Welsh Legion was completely established by the commander of the Frontier Baron Art.
According to the usual practice, the standard establishment of the infantry corps is six people and one squad, two squads and one squadron, four squadrons and one flag team, and four flag teams and one company, and there are guards and attachés above the squadron; The military positions of the regiment are ordinary soldiers, squad leaders, squadron leaders, flag captains, deputy company captains, company captains, corps adjutants, and corps commanders from bottom to top.
After careful consideration by Yate, the corps has three main company-level establishments, two deputy company-level establishments, and five flag formation-level establishments;
The five directly subordinate flag team levels are: the Legion Heavy Infantry Team, the Legion Bow and Crossbow Team, the Legion Baggage Team, the Border Garrison, and the Border Patrol Team;
The two deputy company-level establishments are: the Legion Cavalry Team and the Guards Army Law Team;
The three main company levels are: the Valley Garrison Corps, the First Company of the Corps, and the Second Company of the Corps.
The Legion Heavy Infantry Team is a new team to be built, consisting of 30 heavy infantry in armor, with one flag team captain and two squadron leaders;
The legion bow and crossbow team was expanded from the original bow and crossbow team, with an establishment of 30 people, including one flag team captain and two squadron leaders;
The baggage team of the regiment was expanded from the original baggage team, with an establishment of 30 people, excluding temporary conscription and miscellaneous service, and under the jurisdiction of the arsenal, the baggage team, the medical team, the house, and the camp construction team; There is one flag team captain and four squadron leaders;
The border garrison is the expansion of the original border garrison, with an establishment of 30 people, including one flag team commander and two squadron deputy commanders;
The patrol team is the expansion of the original patrol team, with an establishment of 50 people, including one flag team captain and three squadron deputy captains;
The legion cavalry team was rebuilt from the original sentry cavalry, with an establishment of 25 cavalry, with one deputy company-level captain, two flag-team-level deputy captains, and four squadron-level sergeants, and ordinary cavalry enjoyed the treatment of squad leaders;
The legal team of the guard army was rebuilt from the original guard team, with an establishment of 12 people, including one deputy company captain, two squadron deputy captains, and the rest of the ordinary guard soldiers.
The valley garrison corps is an upgrade of the original valley garrison corps, with an establishment of 120 people, under the jurisdiction of the security team, the recruit corps, and the peasant corps, including the standing peasant corps, with a company-level commander, a flag-corps-level adjutant, and five squadron-level officers;
The 1st and 2nd Companies of the Legion are the main force of the Legion and the core of the entire Legion.
The military structure of the Welsh Regiment was announced, and then the topic of greatest concern to the people was announced, "Next, I announce the appointment of the commanding officers of the regiment at all levels. ”
"I, as the commander of the corps, commands the military and political affairs of the regiment, and directly governs the legion guard corps, the legion heavy infantry team, the legion bow and crossbow team, the border garrison, and the border patrol team. The corps commander has a corps command tent under him, which is composed of two corps adjutants, a military priest, a military doctor, a clerical clerk, and a servant. ”
"The leading knight Odo, as the commander of the legion adjutant, and concurrently the captain of the first company of the legion, is in charge of the legion's baggage team."
"Angus, the leading knight, is the commander of the legion adjutant, and the commander of the second company of the legion, and is in charge of the legion's cavalry."
"Trainee knight Bass, captain of the garrison corps, commander of the garrison corps."
"Trainee knight Kazak, captain of the first flag of the first company of the legion."
"Trainee knight Ron, captain of the Guards."
"Cadet Knight Lusignan, captain of the Legion's cavalry."
"Knight Rejek, deputy captain of the cavalry team, banner team level, Jafar is also the deputy captain"
The above is the military appointment of a knight trainee knight.
"Klaus is hereby appointed captain of the Legion's hoplites; Jason is appointed captain of the Legion's crossbow team; Spencer was appointed captain of the Legion's baggage squad; Simon was appointed commander of the border garrison; Obote was appointed captain of the patrol team. ”
The above are the appointments of officers directly under the flag team level;
"Appointed Colin as captain of the second banner of the first company of the regiment; Weeds is the captain of the Third Flag; Bangada is the captain of the Fourth Flag"
"Tuba was appointed captain of the first banner of the second company of the regiment; Tridok is the captain of the second flag; Captain Andrew 3rd Flag; Captain of the Fourth Flag of Patters; ”
"The rest of the officers above the squadron level are appointed by each company and the flag team directly under the regiment after reporting to the regiment."
After the announcement of the most important regimental system and officer ranks, the military priest Robert and the parish priest Hamish prayed for the new Welsh Legion
The establishment of a regular army is by no means simply the establishment of the military system and the appointment of officers at all levels.
Half a month after the formation ceremony of the regiment, the entire regiment was constantly busy, the formation of new soldiers, the distribution of original veterans, the distribution of military weapons and weapons, the salaries of soldiers and officers, the allocation of attachés at all levels, and so on, all of which needed to be sorted out one by one.
Although the newly appointed officers at all levels had some theoretical basis for the day-to-day management of the army after months of officer training, and had some experience in leading troops before, the original dozen or so subordinate soldiers suddenly became fifty or sixty soldiers, with fifty or sixty mouths and hundreds of hands and feet, and many officers were not able to adapt to it at once.
As a result of the officers' inability to adapt for a while, Yate's regimental command camp has become the most lively place, and the officers have to ask Yate for instructions on everything they can't decide, and the uneven distribution of veterans needs to be coordinated, the new and old weapons and armor need to be uniformly deployed, and the barracks and military tents and training venues need to be uniformly deployed
In all this, Art, Otto, and Angus did not touch the ground every day.
It wasn't until mid-October that the Welsh Legion was finally on track, the Legion began to train separately, and Art laid down his territorial chores and began to concentrate most of his energy on the Legion.
