Section XXXIII Medieval Special Forces
There is a hill in the northeast corner of the town of Vismar, which is usually just a place for shepherds to graze their sheep, except for the bleating of the sheep and the sound of the wind blowing, but today it is a little different, a group of javelinmen first rode into the hill to drive the shepherds away, and then the handymen who came came to cut down the trees and fence off a clearing under the hill with logs, and the curious shepherds looked at it from a distance, and those who came out of the town of Vismar did not care about them but were busy with their own business.
"Yes, yes, yes." When the clearing was enclosed by a wooden fence, a group of people came out of the town, led by a knight wearing chain mail and a saber, with a flag of the same coat of arms hanging above the gate of the town, followed by a nobleman in a green woolen robe and a black cloak behind him, and around the nobleman were women on horseback and their retinue.
"Lord Earl Arrode." When the nobles entered the clearing, all the people stopped their work and bowed to him, and then the shepherds realized that this was the ruler of the town of Vismar and the Angry Lion Castle, and the actual ruler of the land, Count Arrod.
"Is this it? The terrain here is exactly the same as Mecklenburg Castle? "Arold looked at a small hill on his horse, he looked at the hill but spoke to the peasant representatives of the village of Stanlow, the javelinmen had found out that it was true, that the peasants were not lying, and that it was not a trap for the Slavic nobles, and that the nobles of Mecklenburg had cordoned off the whole castle, and that the castle was stocked with enough food for them to eat for three years.
"Yes. We used to go to the castle to pay for the crops, so we were familiar with the place. The peasant hurriedly replied to Arold that he did not understand what Arold wanted to do, why Arold had brought himself here without gathering his own army.
"Very well, Brother York." Arold turned and beckoned to the back, and a balding monk dismounted and walked up to Arold and bowed respectfully.
"Lord Earl, what can I do?"
"Show our drawings to this representative and let him tell us the internal structure of the castle and how many rooms there are in the corridors, the more detailed the better." Arold had sent someone to disguise himself as a traveler early on. Go outside Mecklenburg Castle to observe. However, since he could only observe from the outside and could not enter the heavily guarded castle, the architectural patterns drawn could only be superficial, and Arold needed someone who could understand the inner structure of the castle.
"Yes. Lord Earl. "Brother York is a member of the Friars of St. Jom. He was a painter from the Italian city-states. It was easy to draw, and to Arrold's relief, York quickly understood what three-dimensional painting was all about.
"Lord Count, do you really want to build a building here that is the same as Mecklenburg Castle?" Julian kicked his mount in the crotch. After taking a few steps forward, he was incredulous that Arold was going to build on the hill the same structure as Mecklenburg Castle.
"Yes, I'm going to concentrate my army here and practice how to storm the city." Arold was going to build a simulated place, simulating the castle of Mecklenburg, but of course he couldn't really build a real stone castle on the hill, but he just erected wooden signs that modeled after the castle on all sides, and put up wooden ladders at the window of the wooden signs, and some people defended them, just like the set of a movie.
"But we just need to recruit as many people as possible, so why bother." Julian had never seen a rehearsal before a battle, and Arjod often brought him whimsical ideas, and although he was almost getting used to it, this time it was a surprise to him.
"No, we have to fight quickly, don't forget that there are still maidens in the castle, and if it drags on for a long time, the more unpredictable things will happen." Arold completely regarded this as a hostage rescue event, and he not only wanted to capture Mecklenburg Castle but also rescue the hostages inside intact, and this simulation field was set up for this purpose, and even Arold had a more avant-garde idea.
"Well, Lord Count, but I still don't understand why you don't need the knights of the Brothers of St. Jom, I believe they can accomplish the task perfectly with their own skills." Julian was incomprehensible to Arrod's exclusion of the knights of the Order of St. Fonso, who in his opinion were perfect warriors.
"No, I have other tasks for them, this time to the Slavs." Arold was very jealous of the power of the Monks, and he was afraid that the excessive use of the Monks would lead to the infiltration of the Monks' power into his court.
Soon a few days later, the Yorkian friars and the peasants drew the drawings, although as peasants were not qualified to enter many parts of the castle, but they were very familiar with the various defensive buildings of the castle, which allowed their drawings to describe the overall structure of Mecklenburg Castle, Arold immediately used the strength of the entire town of Vesmar to make a large wooden sign according to the drawing, the shooting holes on the wooden card and the battlements were made vividly, if it were not for the essential color of the wood, the wooden sign that was erected really thought it was a city wall at a glance.
"Thank you for your trust in Lord Earl, we will definitely live up to our mission." Ted excitedly knelt in front of Arrod, who had just sworn allegiance to become an officer of Arrod, a renegade Slav who became Arrod's commander in charge of special forces.
"Very well, Ted, you are learning the Germanic language very quickly, which is very good, it is good for our communication, and your task is very clear and important, which is to lead your men to control the main defense points of the castle and destroy them." Arold was well aware of the hatred of the citizens of the town of Wisma for these Slavs who had betrayed the Lomva religion, and this was why Arold was confident and confident in their loyalty.
"Yes, I understand the Earl, but I'm worried because our people don't have much training at all, so I'm worried that they won't be able to complete the task." Ted expressed his concern to Arrod, although many of his Slavs had been on the battlefield, but it was too difficult for them to control the entire castle as Arold said, because the castle of Mecklenburg was full of elite Slavic warriors, and it was no problem for one of them to fight three or five of them if they were strong.
"Training is no problem, I will arrange training for your people, you will have three Sundays to learn teamwork and how to attack the enemy, those who can't complete the assessment will be kicked into the chores, only the best can stay and be my special escort, and I don't think you are worse than those so-called elite fighters." Arold has drawn up an outline for training special escort teams, which he has actually learned from the TV series he watched before, how to stealth, how to use ranged weapons, how to use melee weapons, and how to use special weapons, and the use of each weapon is taught by special personnel.
"Yes, swear to serve the Earl." Ted hurriedly held Arold's left hand, kissed the ring on Arold's hand, and swore to him solemnly.
"Very well, go gather your people, Julian is waiting for you."
Arold sent Ted to be trained, and he was also busy giving the equipment of the special soldiers left behind after elimination, he frowned and looked at the blank drawings on the wooden table in front of him, then picked up goose feathers dipped in some ink, and drew on the drawings some weapons used by special forces in memory, such as hook claws, long daggers, Mitsubishi nails, etc., he only drew these things with memory, fortunately, he is now the ruler of a large town, and there are people from the blacksmith guild who can help him build it, and if he is not satisfied, he can modify it and rebuild itUnder the full efforts of the blacksmiths' guilds, Arold had to admit that the craftsmanship of these Slavic blacksmiths was very exquisite, a total of twelve sets of weapons were completed, and the tanners also created an inner leather tight-fitting jacket according to Arold's requirements, each weapon could be removed and placed in the inner pocket of the leather coat.
In the simulation field of the hills, every day, rain or shine, Ted and his members practiced how to use ropes to climb the castle windows, how to use various weapons to cooperate with each other, Julian began to dismiss these Slavs from the countryside, and he even had a problem with Arold asking him to treat these people as real warriors, how could the light infantry who were miscellaneous and expendable on the battlefield become real elite warriors, but soon Julian found that these Slavs were hard-working, Even if they fail, they rarely back down, and of course, the abundant food and meat provided every day is also what keeps them energized.
"From today onwards, those who have not mastered the use of weapons, and those who are lagging behind will be eliminated from the ranks, and the miscellaneous people will not want to waste the Earl's food." In the last Sunday, Arold asked Julian to intensify his training, and began to weed out those who could not keep up, this cruel training made the Slavs secretly curse Julian, but in the face of this cold Germanic nobleman, they did not dare to disobey him, although this period was very hard, but it was the best and fullest period of their lives.
"Yes, although it can't be compared with the real special forces, it can already deal with the guards of Mecklenburg Castle." Arold looked at the special soldiers who had become darkened by the wind and sun, and nodded with satisfaction, this is the remaining twelve people who have been eliminated from the fifty Slavs, and they will follow Arold to Mecklenburg Castle, when Arold's frontal attack force attracts the castle defenders, these special soldiers will infiltrate the castle interior to carry out various missions.
