It's been too busy these days, and I don't have time to update the chart, so please be patient

――――――――――――――

The whip was with an iron thistle head, like a black shadow, brushed on the naked backs of Wright and the others, and the backs of everyone in the entire onlookers began to chill, and the pain seemed to be felt by themselves, and the brains exploded along the nerves, and everyone couldn't help but feel that the armor was covered with barbs of whips.

The fifty recruits were even more frightened, standing in place, holding their instruments, and did not dare to move for half a minute. But as Gawain had promised in advance with Wright and other tortured soldiers: as long as he did not cry or forgive, then after the flogging was over, everything would be written off.

Wright's little white face was also very hard at the moment, although the red whip marks roamed his back, but he gritted his teeth, and allowed the sweat of his hair and scalp to be glued together because of the pain - as long as the "core parts" were preserved, as for the sin of seducing the woman, the Grand Duke had also punished it, and he would come to the Holy Sepulchre to repent again.

Giovanni under the torture table, his face expressionless, counted one by one, and the entire scene of six thousand people was silent under Meeksburg, except for the sound of Giovanni counting and whipping. After a while, several of the executioners untied the scarred victim's ropes, helped them down, and threw them at the wheel of the baggage cart of the Dalian team, where they themselves could find jugs of water and hot food, like a few abandoned wild dogs.

"Turn around and listen to the new teachings of the Grand Duke and the Priesthood!" Then, Giovanni shouted.

The soldiers of each company followed this command, watched the flags of their respective company flag officers point, and turned in unison to face Stephen on the battlement of Mixburg. Gawain.

"Our Red Hand United, our Brocade Brotherhood. What was it for? It does not require undisciplined pilgrims, otherwise most of them will die meaninglessly at the butcher's knife and horse's hooves of infidels, bandits, and local princes on the long hajj journey, as countless predecessors have done. Imagine, if the Dalian team had not fought this time, then the criminal prince of Za'tar would have killed our co-workers. Plundered our baggage and thwarted our pilgrimage plans. Therefore, on the way to the Holy Sepulchre, the Dalian team and the Brotherhood must arm themselves with sharp fangs and fangs, be prepared to be aware of never giving in, and also need iron discipline to restrain themselves, and we must promise the oath to the Lord, to the Holy See, and to the Emperor, which is as important as the original holy war oath. Now look at you, the Archduke will capture the forty thousand Venetian silver coins obtained by the capture of Za'tar. All the armor that was given to you and the captured Princely Guard and the Armoury of the Zar'a were also given to the Company of the Dead and the Company of the Wrath, who had performed their feats in the former Mt. Borage, and though you had previously been dishonorable troops, now the elite and loyal men among you are able to wear fine armor and helmets, and carry spears and shields, and stand proudly in battle. Fight against all enemies for greater glory; Your company will also have the first and most unique logo banner. Let the enemy be discouraged. In the future, the rest of the companies should also be on par with these two companies. After saying these encouraging words, Gawain waved his hand at the chief official next to him, and Androdart swallowed and spat, and held up the long file in his hand. He took two steps forward so that all the soldiers of the Dalian team lined up below could see him and hear his conversation.

What Anderodat read out was the newly drafted "Red Hand Dalian Military Code": a book on strategy and tactics sent by Anna thousands of miles away, although Gawain could not read it. The Grand Duke had previously led his men in battle with a keen instinct, but now he also felt that the Commander's 6,000 men on a vast expedition would not be enough on his own, and that it was necessary to temper this precious contingent with the name of "pilgrimage" to the discipline that could run rampant through the Middle Ages—so Gawain commissioned Anderodat to extract the most valuable and concise entries from the texts of the first emperors of the Byzantine Roman Empire, and compile them into the "Military Code", and then the chances of Za't's victory were strictly enforced throughout the army.

"First, the orders, ordinances, rewards, masses, and rituals of the whole army were all issued by the Grand Duke and the Priesthood, and the documents were issued by the chief officer;

Second, the marching order, the scout cavalry must go to the important place to reconnoitre, the first company is responsible for building and repairing the road, the infantry, cavalry and sailors walk in strict formation, each following the flag of the company, listening to the command of the flag officer, and the violator is flogged and confined;

Third, the camp in the wilderness is ordered, after the daily march is completed, the camp must be made, the company and military servants on duty dig trenches, add wooden fences, and strictly patrol the sentry; Each company strictly followed the camping plan promulgated by the confidential officer of the day, and returned to its own position, and the soldiers camped according to the fixed tents.

Fourth, the order to enter the city, except for the members of the brotherhood, the rest of the company must stay in the plains on the outskirts of the city, just like the camp in the wilderness, the main towers and walls of the fortress are to be guarded with additional manpower; A military market was erected in the camp, and women, wine, and goods could be solicited to meet everyone's needs, but it was strictly forbidden not to give money, unfairness, and unconcord, and those who violated the camp were whipped and handcuffed to the public;

Fifth, the training regulations, each company must be under the supervision of the instructor every day, under the supervision of the instructor, diligent practice of spear, swordsmanship and archery, the spearman must learn to point the tip of the spear at the enemy, the sword and shield hand must learn courage and decisiveness, the sailor and archer must strictly abide by the order before shooting; Each man cherished his armor, his horses, his flag, and his weapons, and those who abandoned them were flogged and confined to him, those who vandalized them were hanged, and those who brought weapons to the enemy were put on display.

Sixth, the military formation order, the military servants must take care of the protection of the baggage, and follow the army; Before the battle, the formation must be quickly and strictly, act according to the flag and drum, and have the right to accept the confession prayer of the priest before the battle, but those who continue to make noise, prolong, patrol, and wander after the formation is formed shall be executed in the first place;

Seventh, the Brotherhood and the soldiers of the Dalian Army, including military servants, craftsmen, and priests, were forbidden to indulge, rape, plunder, private, and adultery; In addition, there are those who have a uniform salary, but it is not called a commission, but it is a 'holy salute', and all people are equal, so as to show the justice and glory of our Lord. ”

These are the seven military regulations, and Anderodat gasped a little tired after reading them in one sitting, which is already succinct and to the point, mainly considering that the soldiers of the Dalian Brigade are by no means partly uneducated - except that some soldiers are still scratching their heads, and the order to solicit women to "solve their needs" has not yet been figured out.

"Rest for three days, and then advance to the city of Niš on the other side of the Sava River, a place that I have agreed with Brother Peter the Hermit in advance." At this time, Gawain took out the horse's head scepter and shouted.

Three days later, the morning sun covered the moors beneath Meeks, gilding the grass with gold, and the horses' hooves soon shook and kicked the dew off the blades of grass and scattered them—and under the flying banner, the cavalry company of the Baptized, and several companies of sailors, lightly armed, walked in the forefront; A company of Greek soldiers, who protected the baggage equipment in the center of the ranks, was the middle waist; Gawain personally commanded three of the most elite Italian companies, slowly walking at the end, the light of the sword blending with the sun, very majestic, and rumbling towards the Sava River.
