Chapter 369: Preparing for the Expedition
William sat in his study and began to plan something, his plan to expedition to the kingdom of Senmoriel was a foregone conclusion.
The national strength is completely inferior to the previous Tskma Kingdom's Senmolil Kingdom is not worthy of William's fear, although William is completely incomparable in terms of troops, but the elite level is basically crushing, after all, even if they have the Golden Lion Guard, the number is not large, and even the power of the Principality of Zenketu, the country of Delsaith, is only eighty: Berserkers.
And the royal family of the Senmoril Kingdom has absolutely no more than three hundred berserkers, and even if they mobilize all the vassals, they can mobilize no more than six hundred Golden Lion Guards, so William still has a good chance of winning in this situation.
Moreover, William did not plan to face the counterattack of the Senmolier Kingdom now, he planned to find a duchy or county that was not too harmonious with the royal family of the Senmoril Kingdom as the target of the battle.
William of the Senmolier royal family, with more than 7,000 troops, did not want to provoke, and the banner of Delseth should not be raised so early, after all, it was not the time to restore the country.
After deciding on the strategy, then it is necessary to make certain preparations, as the so-called moving mouth above and breaking legs below, this sentence is being staged very vividly in William's territory.
William's regular army has always been all put into battle, after all, these well-trained and well-equipped professional armies are too wasteful to defend, and now the militia defense mechanism in William's territory has been formed, so there is no need to be too afraid of other people's attacks, more than 30,000 militia and nearly 40,000 militia are enough to make the invading enemy understand what is called people's war.
In fact, to be honest, there are not a lot of things that need to be prepared now, in terms of food, William's hands are quite rich now, even if it is to transfer four months of military rations, it is quite easy and not a little difficult, and a lot of food can be left in case of emergency.
In other aspects, the only thing that needs to be done by the people below is to go to the Astra Kingdom to rent warships, although the shipbuilding technology of the Astra Kingdom is not too developed, but isn't there still the Camelot Kingdom with a developed shipbuilding industry?
The form of the Carmellot Kingdom also faintly spread to the side of the Czkma Kingdom through the church, and the younger brother of the old king, Duke Vallar, relied on the power of the Astra Kingdom to usurp the throne of the little prince, so that the autonomy of the Carmellot Kingdom was much smaller.
Therefore, this kind of charter ship business can go directly to the kingdom of Astra, and it can also establish some hypocrisy with them.
In addition, what William still needs to wait for is the training of the soldiers, the infantry is fine, and with some training results, it is not very difficult for them to withstand the training of the Denlenburg infantry, and they have made great progress.
In less than a month or two, they would have been able to complete all the training of the Denglenburg infantry.
But unlike them, the trainee knights were not trained enough to crush the enemy on the battlefield, and such a long training only made them more proficient in horsemanship.
If you want to really fight on the battlefield like the trainee knights, it will take at least half a year, of course, if there is a battle, it will be a different matter, there will definitely be different progress.
In addition, the situation of the light cavalry was much better, William had the right to recruit troops from among the Chekers after his victory in the last war against the Chekers, and he also commanded the Cheker tribe of more than 3,000 people, and recently attracted a lot of Chekers to smuggle here.
Therefore, the number of the army of Urimu not only did not decrease due to the previous battle, but increased somewhat, reaching about five hundred.
The light cavalry unit directly under William has also expanded to about 500 people, and nearly 400 people have been recruited.
In this way, William's light cavalry that could be put into battle was about 1,000 men, only 300 fewer than the Knights of the Iron Cross.
The productivity of the blacksmith's factory, the cadets of the Denlenburg Infantry Regiment, the cadets of the Order, the heavy infantry, and the armor of the hussars were all completed in just four months.
More than a month later, the messenger sent by William to lease a ship to the kingdom of Astra returned.
It is said that thirty troop carriers were leased from the Kingdom of Astra, each of which could fit a force of about a few hundred people, plus war horses, almost completely able to carry all of William's troops, and there was a surplus.
And William for the sake of insurance, he also deliberately hired some of the navy of the Kingdom of Carmellot to escort the ship, although the maritime trade in this era was not developed, but pirates were also common, even if the sea power from the enemy country attacked, it was almost non-existent.
However, for the sake of insurance, William is still willing to spend a penny more and hire some bodyguards, after all, his army is quite expensive, even if he dies a little, it will make him suffer for a long time, if he is really at sea because of the enemy's attack, or because of the wind and waves capsized and the whole army is destroyed, then William will definitely die of distress, no, it is not blind to death.
In this way, William spent 3,000 gold coins, leased 30 troop carriers, plus naval mercenary fees, a total of 6,000 silver coins, which is not much, after all, the danger is not too great.
"William ......"
Wella quietly walked into the study, walked gently to William's side, hugged his broad arms, leaned her head on his shoulder, and said in a soft and glutinous voice: "William, how long have you just been back, and now you are going to go on the expedition again?" ”
Her tone was very weak, just like when William saw her for the first time, and the pitiful appearance of the grievances made William feel pity when he looked at it.
William helplessly stroked Wella's still weak and boneless little hand, twenty-three years old is the most beautiful time for a girl, even if she is already the mother of two children.
He said, "No way! For the development of the territory, in order to leave our son a stronger and richer territory, his father and I must work so hard! ”
William smiled, patted her little head with his hand, and said in a doting tone.
Wella heard William say this, and there was nothing to refute, after all, it was also for her son, she could only pout aggrievedly, draw circles on William's chest, and whispered: "Okay, you have to pay attention to safety, come back early to accompany me!" ”
Suddenly, looking at Wella's appearance, William felt like a fire burning in his heart, and the enthusiasm of his youth suddenly rose.
Looking at the already very beautiful and moving Wella in front of him, it looked even more attractive in his eyes, and Wella, who was already in her twenties and was beginning to mature, had a kind of contrast at this moment, which made William a little unbearable. 2k reading web
