Chapter XXVII

In a large open space in the town about ten kilometers west of the Holy Priest's Mansion, there seems to be a surge of people...

At this time, the intermediate holy priest Chartres who was shouting in the middle of the clearing, in fact, he was only one level away from Xiao Czeke, and when he saw a large group of people coming from the east, he ran up without thinking about it...

And the officers and soldiers who were queuing up also wondered who could make the commander so attentive...

"Report, the troops have been assembled, please instruct your lords", after speaking, Chateau stood up straight and stretched out his hand to touch his hair. This is probably the Mayan way of saluting.

Well, after speaking, Xiao Czeke, who hurried over, looked at the large number of people who were not standing and were black, and said: "The sacrificial division officials in the Saudi Arabia (military commanders are often priests), how many people are there?"

As soon as I could muster more than 1,800 people from four battalions, including clan soldiers, apprentice soldiers, armored soldiers, and elemental sacrifice soldiers.

(Note: Here is a description of the Mayan military ranks and military establishment, of which there are 20 ranks from small to large, Gongshi, Shangzao, Hairpin, Buchang, Da Da, Liuguan Doctor, Seven Gong Doctor, Eight Gong Cheng, Nine Wang Doctor, Ten Left Chief, Eleven Right Chief, Twelve Left Guard, Thirteen Middle Guard, Fourteenth Right Guard, Fifteen Shao Shangzao, ****** Shangzao, Seventeen Carriage Chiefs, ****** Chiefs, Nineteen Imperial Candidates (able to manage the affairs of a town, including the military), Twenty towns and marquis (able to manage an area).

I believe it is difficult for everyone to understand the above Mayan official position, so I plan to transform him into a direct army commander and a sacrificial position, such as a Mayan army of about 1,800 people uses the regiment as a unit, the regimental commander is called the regimental commander, and the instructor is the sacrifice.

According to the experts' examination of the Mayan ruins, in the more than 100 Mayan town ruins that have been discovered, the population size of the town ranges from thousands to hundreds of thousands, I think the army should be not small at that time, in order to let everyone see it more clearly, I will use the modern army to write, but also do not sit on the number, the scale is large or small, because in Maya has a high degree of civilization, the group army is absolutely there, but the equipment and quality of the army may be poor, especially in the holy priest Akon. Na Zheng's wartime military service has even reduced the combat effectiveness of the army.

In terms of the establishment of the Mayan army, I set it up like this: a squad of about 12~16 people; A platoon consists of three ~ four squads, about 40~60 people; A company consists of three platoons, about 150~170 people; A battalion consists of three companies, about 450~550 people; A regiment consists of four battalions, about 1500~1800 people; A division consists of four regiments, about 5000~6000 people. This is a regular establishment, such as a clan spear platoon with about four squads of 57 people; However, for example, the Elemental Sacrifice Platoon (composed of elemental sacrifices) has only 36 people in the four classes.

"More than 1,800 people"? It's only a full regiment, and there are tens of thousands of troops around this TBIC city, so you bring a regiment over? Xiao Czech said a little angrily.

"My lord, you can't blame me for this!" The wartime military service law of Nazheng sacrifice (soldiers in war, common people in peacetime, and farming and farming, and little systematic training) caused a sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of soldiers, and many soldiers did not go through large-scale battles in these peaceful years, and were completely engaged in family farming, which is close to the strength of a regiment or I picked out from dozens of towns"! Chartres said with some grievances.

"Forget it, it's not your fault either

, go and see how the person you choose is", said Shi Xiao Czech with two intermediate holy sacrifices and five junior holy sacrifices towards the front troops......

"My lord, don't worry, they are definitely elites, and in the last month's training, they can basically cooperate with each other", Chartres hurriedly followed.

"That's what you call the best soldier," said Xiao Zecze, pointing to the nearest row of soldiers with various farm implements, spears, and halberds. Xiao Czech is a priest, because there has been no major war in the empire for decades, so the master proposed wartime military service, the local troops only carry out a small amount of training in their leisure time, and they become farmers when they are busy, and the most understood in ordinary times is the strongest lion guard in the empire, all of whom are systematically trained soldiers, but you can't help but be surprised to see these soldiers who are similar to the common people in front of you. He also asked Master Akon more than once. Na Zheng proposed to abolish (the wartime military service system), and the army should be systematically trained like the Xiongshi Guards to have combat effectiveness, but he always said that he didn't understand...

This is a clan company, consisting of three platoons: clan spears (56 people), clan minfu (58 people), and clan stone marks (60 people) (equipped with halberds), and the first battalion commander is Hua Deming. They were militia organizations and had low combat effectiveness due to their lack of equipment and training, but their low recruitment costs and small training time made most towns predominantly clan soldiers.

"Militia organizations? You're not going to let them fight the enemy, are you? Xiao Czech said with deep meaning.

"No, no, no", my lord, I selected this company from among the soldiers in dozens of towns around the royal city, although the number is not large, but the combat effectiveness is definitely not low.

"Hmph, I hope you don't disappoint me," said Shi Xiao Czech and the others as they continued to move forward.

"Hey, why don't these soldiers have hair and beards?" Xiao Czech pointed to a group of soldiers in front of him.

"These are two companies of outlaw soldiers, of which there are two platoons of outlaw warriors, 55 men each; two gangsters rushed to platoon, 57 people each; Two rows of men hunting bows, 52 men each". Chartres explained in a whisper.

"Oh, the soldiers who were captured"? Xiao asked without looking back.

"Yes, the Bandit Soldier is the soldier of other tribes who have been conquered and captured from the battlefield, most of these soldiers will be sacrificed to Quetzalcoatl or reduced to slavery, and a few of them will be sent to various towns as soldiers, and Bandit is the general term for all captured soldiers, who are usually cut and shaved off their beards to show that they have been sacrificed to Quetzalcoatl." Chartres helplessly acted as a commentator, who called the official to crush people to death!

"Oh! Do you regret becoming soldiers of our empire"? Xiao Czech said loudly to the soldiers of the two platoons.

"No regrets, no regrets", only a deafening reply.

"That's right, in this **** era, facing the threat of death at any time, only in a place that can bring us a safe and beautiful life is what we yearn for, and the empire will definitely be able to bring you", Xiao Czech said with some excitement.

"Swear allegiance to the empire, swear allegiance to the empire", the two gangsters were obviously boiled by Xiao Czech's words, their own soldiers, who originally lived a self-sufficient life, could be forced to fight by their own country, and there was no freedom at all, and in this Teotihuacan Empire, although they had to fight from time to time, they could control themselves most of the time, isn't this the life that everyone yearns for!

"Well, everyone should believe that tomorrow will be better", Xiao Czech waved to everyone and continued to walk to the right.

"My lord, the three teams in front of you are the second battalion composed of two apprentice companies and one armored company, and the battalion commander is Li Aihua." Without waiting for Xiao Czech to ask, Chartres took the lead in explaining.

"Oh! Why put two different companies together"? Xiao Czech asked again.

"The so-called apprentices are soldiers who are selected from the clan soldiers by time in each town and have planned and organized training, they are not nobles, but they are the people of the empire, they have national status, but they are not professional soldiers like the Lion Guards, they work as farmers when they are busy, and they conduct military training when they are not working." Saudi Arabia said almost in one breath.

"What about the armored soldiers"? Then the person next to him asked again.

Chartres just wanted to blacken his face, but immediately thought that it was Lord Xiao who led the people, so he didn't dare to say anything disrespectful, and said in a somewhat contemptuous tone: "The armored soldiers are developed from the basis of the apprentice soldiers, but they receive more formal and systematic military training, and they are all wearing leather armor made of animal skins, so they are equivalent to the elite soldiers of the apprentice soldiers."

In this second battalion, the two apprentice companies each consisted of two apprentice warrior platoons of 54 men each, apprentice heavy spear platoon of 56 men each, and apprentice hard bow platoon of 53 men each; The other armored company consisted of 56 infantry platoons, 64 armored strong bow platoons, and 49 halberd platoons.

"Not bad! I also know how to mix the troops, so the effect will be greater, but if the soldiers are mixed according to their weapons and combat attributes, the effect may be even better", Xiao Czech praised a little.

"Thank you for the compliment", it still tastes good to be complimented! Chartres thought.

And behind Xiao Czechi, the one who was also a middle priest who was asking just now looked at him with vicious eyes.

"What about this team"? Xiao Czech pointed to a group of soldiers on the right. He felt the strength of a battalion, wearing a silver-white wooden helmet with unknown feathers, heavy leather armor, knee-length shorts and sandals, and weapons such as swords, bows, crossbows, and halberds.

My lord, in addition to the Imperial Guards, this is the strongest class of infantry, it is composed of one, two, and three companies, and the composition of each company is the same, respectively, 62 elite infantry platoons, armed with knives or swords; 58 elite light crossbow platoons, armed with crossbows or arrows; The elite heavy halberd platoon of 63 people, equipped with a halberd (modified from a spear, but thicker and sharper than a spear), this is the commander of the third battalion, he is one of the three cadets of the infantry class of the Imperial Academy last year, Hu Qun, Chartres pointed to the person at the front.

"Oh? Hu Qun, you were very famous in the Imperial Academy at that time! Xiao Czech said with some praise.

People who do not sense the existence of the elements can be assessed by the infantry class, but the perverted assessment conditions and training methods discourage many people, and the elemental sacrifice students only need to pass the sensing elements and establish contact, and even if those infantry students pass the assessment, the cruel training has made many people defeated, and the training mortality rate is high, which is not every year Those who can come out of the infantry class are some tough people.

"My lord has won the award, I'm just an ordinary soldier, anyone can do it as long as they work hard." Hu Qun replied without any delay.

"Well said, I believe you can lead your soldiers", Xiao Czech praised again, he has always been very respectful of those who are capable.

"Chief Xie praises, I will do my best", Hu Qun said forcefully.

"Hmmm"! Then Xiao Czech walked to the last group of soldiers on the right...

"Chartres, these should be elemental sacrifices!"

"Yes, my lord, they are composed of elemental sacrifices with different attributes, but this fourth battalion is a little special, the three companies they belong to are composed of different sacrificial levels and different elemental attributes, for example, a company has both priests and high priests; There are both fire and water element sacrifices, which are made up of a mixture of sacrifices." Chartres said tirelessly.

"A camp of sacrifices? Interestingly, it seems that this battle is a sure win." Xiao Czech said excitedly.

"That is, there is an adult, a winning general, who will definitely win every battle", Chartres still did not forget to pat himself on the back.

"That's it! Then do you have a battalion commander for the fourth battalion?" Xiao Czech asked again.

"Nope"!

"Okay, Liu Zheng will be the head of the sacrificial camp, and you will assist Liu Zheng in managing the four camps together!" Xiao Czech said behind him, obviously Liu Zheng was the one who asked Chartres just now.

"Yes, I will definitely manage the fourth battalion with Chartres", Liu Zheng looked at Chartres with a smirk.

And Chartretelton had goosebumps all over his body, obviously understanding that he had a hard time these days...

At this time, Xiao Zhe walked alone to the middle of the four battalions, and secretly used the wind element in the wind amplification technique to say: "I think everyone is the elite of the empire, this time I will lead you to recapture the territory that originally belonged to us, the Black Empire, you more or less know, ruthlessly oppress the people in the country, many people are in the heat of the water."

"You may ask, is there a non-aggression pact between our two countries? Why should we attack them!" In fact, more than a hundred years ago, in a battle with the Black Evil Empire, our army retreated, in exchange for the withdrawal of the Black Evil Empire, the king decided to cede the land west of Bilre Mountain to the Black Evil Empire, in exchange for a non-aggression treaty, and now the Black Evil Empire is invaded by the beasts, do you say we should recover the lost territory"? Xiao Czech said excitedly.

"Regain lost ground, regain lost land", at this time there was an angry cry from everyone. Everyone originally thought that the Black Evil Empire had invaded other countries on a large scale and did not get close to our country at all, which turned out to be something to be thankful, but when Xiao Czech said this, can he not be angry?

"Well, that's good, but there will be a fierce battle in this operation, and those who are afraid can leave right now, and I don't need to plant soldiers," Xiao Czech said with some sarcasm.

"Don't be afraid of a vicious battle and regain lost territory", the angry voice is higher and higher.

"Very good, since there is no mischief, continue the training just now, give me enough food and sleep after training, and raise my spirits Tomorrow morning when the sun comes out, we will march into the Black Empire and regain the lost territory, our regiment will be called the Western Expeditionary Corps", Xiao Czech said. These words almost ignited everyone's anger.

Later, the platoon continued today's unfinished training, while Xiao Zheke entered the barracks with eight chief and deputy battalion commanders and several quasi-and middle priests to discuss tomorrow's battle plan
