"Does anyone have any other opinions?"

After coming up with his plan, William glanced at his vassals, after all, even if he was a feudal lord, he had to consult his vassals on many things. x

Although William's strength did not depend on the faces of the vassals at all, at least this practice was retained by him.

At this time, there were not only William's vassals in the hall, as a viscount, Norwin also recruited four down-and-out nobles as vassals in this year's time, and initially had good military strength.

Counting Norwen's own military strength, he was able to mobilize more than 400 armed infantry, and if the serfs were added, about 1,000 soldiers could still be drawn.

William's own direct forces, combined with the forces that the other nobles were able to muster, were able to draw nearly 3,000 regular armed infantry in battle.

You know, even in the last battle of Laughlinburg, the royal family of the Tskma Kingdom did their best to only get together 5,000 armed infantry.

Although this does not include the vassals of the royal family, the overall strength can reach more than half of the royal family, which is already a very strong strength.

What's more, the troops directly under him still account for the majority, and there are 1,200 Manders infantry alone who have been trained and reorganized.

In addition, William expanded the number of archers to three hundred, and the number of heavy infantry also reached two hundred.

Their armor hasn't changed much, and the outer scale armor style is still the same, but the quality of the iron has improved.

In addition, two layers of encrypted chain mail were added to the neck and joints, and the helmet was changed to a similar style as the bottle helmet of the knights.

And inside is also an extra layer of chain armor on the right, and the cotton armor and leather armor remain unchanged, so that their weight becomes heavier, but their defense also becomes more terrifying.

Now William's heavy infantry can strengthen their original advantage, but it magnify the disadvantage of this class.

The heavy infantry is originally strong in defense, but the speed is quite slow, and William's talk about armor upgrades is obviously to make their movements even slower.

However, in William's opinion, this kind of change is normal, after all, the heavy infantry is originally used to advance and crush the enemy, and the pursuit of them itself is not used, nor can they catch up, it is better to give up more speed in exchange for unparalleled defense.

Now the defense of the heavy infantry is better than that of the knights, except that the knights of the inner palace can compete with them, and the equipment of the knights of the mining is slightly inferior to them.

The armor of the ordinary vassal knights was simply changed from the material, the gauntlet helmet, and of course, perhaps some of the more cautious and wealthy vassal knights who had purchased a set of armor for their chests.

But that doesn't change the fact that their equipment is not as good as that of the heavy infantry.

As for the heavy cavalry, which had played a very large role in William's army for a long time, they seemed to have a weak presence.

Because after the last battle, they really suffered heavy losses, and the surviving heavy cavalry were still training new heavy cavalry, so they were not in the sequence this battle.

Originally, the heavy cavalry, as a branch of the army that William had high hopes for, was supposed to show its skills on the battlefield, but there was no way, their number was too small.

In the past, William did not have many knights, so they were the most expensive and most powerful troops besides knights.

But now that William has taken over Denlenburg, the number of knights has also grown explosively, and the number of heavy cavalry cannot be compared.

After all, cavalry is a more technical test than archers, and archers have been trained for more than a year, although there may be a slight gap with those veterans who have experienced war before, but it is harmless.

But the heavy cavalry is not good, the heavy cavalry was trained by William for nearly two years before he dared to let them go to the battlefield, and that's it, their riding skills are not yet mature.

It took a lot of hard fighting before they became a qualified heavy cavalryman.

If you want to make a person go from not being able to ride a horse to a qualified cavalryman, it will take at least four or five years of training, and even if it is the kind of deadly training method developed by William, it will take at least more than two years to take shape.

And now that they've only been training for a year, they've just been able to perform some simple moves on their horses and get them into battle, which is just too hard for them.

After all, more than 20 veterans have to bring more than 200 recruits, and they will not be able to go to the battlefield as combat strength in the short term.

The nobles shook their heads and said in unison: "We will always be loyal to you, honorable earl, your orders are the direction in which we are heading, the long swords and spears in our hands will always be wielded for you, and our blood will be sprayed for you!" ”

Anyone can talk about the scene, but they only have one meaning, and that is that they agree with William's decision.

There was no way, William's strength was too strong, and they simply couldn't have the courage to deny their decision to be a feudal lord like other noble vassals.

What's more, as far as they think, William's current strength, even if he starts a war with the Middle Cher, he will not suffer, not to mention the West Cher people, isn't it.

Knowing what his vassals thought, William was satisfied, and now he really has a very strong control over the entire Denlenburg.

His control of his realm was deeply entrenched, and he was supported by all the people, and Baron Byer, Baron Merlin, Baron Lolitsa, and Viscount Norvin were all his loyal vassals.

Baron Bair had a good relationship with him and had a convergence of interests, Baron Merlin was promoted by William and looked down on him, not to mention Lolitsa, as William's eldest brother, he had no reason to defect, and Norwin had no reason to doubt.

With no objection, William began to prepare the entire realm for what the war would need.

In normal times, the arrows and guns of the lords have been completed, and all of them have been handed over at this moment when the war is about to begin.

All the wheat in William's granary worked overtime at the mill to grind the fine flour of the city, and then packed it into bags and put it on the wagons.

As a good food for people to eat and chew, it is of course indispensable, and after some screening, it was loaded into the carriage by the people.

Alfalfa grass and eggs for the horses were also carefully placed, hanging air-dried meat was removed from the meat drying rack and bagged, and bacon and cured meat were taken out of the storage room.

The grain alone was enough to load hundreds of wagons, and this was only seven or eight of the storage capacity in William's warehouse.

The fact that William, who had supplied more than two months of grain for 3,000 people, was able to take it out so easily shows how rich the output of William's territory was.

And that's it, not including the cattle and sheep raised on his territory, when the army goes out, William also has to bring hundreds of sheep as meat for the army.
