Chapter 194: Seeking Battle
Flying Bear Army Camp
The soldiers who had finished training all morning rushed back to the camp like a herd of beasts, and it was time to eat, and today was a double day, which happened to be the day when they could eat meat, and they would have a chance to catch a few pieces of big fat meat if they went to play, and there were only those lean lumps of meat that had no oil and gas at all.
The original Hunter family was not so arrogant, although the food was enough, but it was impossible to manage the oil and meat for the army the next day, and dozens of omnivorous griffins almost ate Richard before.
Now the victory against the ogre tribe has robbed a lot of livestock, plus the god of wealth has come, Lint can barely supply some meat food on a daily basis, and the army with meat, eggs and milk supply and the army that only eats dry food, especially in the cold weapon stage, the combat effectiveness and spiritual qi are still completely different.
Although the Flying Bear Army and the Tiger and Leopard Army have been in existence for a short time and have not experienced much in the Great War, they are definitely two strong armies in Richard's eyes, perhaps a little worse than the forbidden army of Jinlongdu, but they are definitely only stronger than the original Jingbei Army.
The more than 40,000 people of the two legions are all real young and strong men, and they have divided the land in the north, that is, the so-called permanent produce, and their ideological education has not relaxed for a moment, and they all know in their minds what they are fighting for.
In terms of eating, it has always been three meals a day, dry and full, and you can see meat every week, with a reasonable vegetarian diet and physical training, each body is strong and solid, not as good as those inhuman races, but it is absolutely first-class in human beings.
However, compared to the scrambling of the soldiers, Matt, as the captain, walked behind unhurriedly, and compared to the fat with heavy oil and gas, he was now more willing to fish a few lean lumps to eat.
If it was when he first joined the army a few years ago, maybe he would still be the same as these soldiers, but after becoming the captain, the salary and treatment are much higher, and he is tired of eating fat.
What he was thinking about now was not a few pieces of meat to eat at noon, but whether there was a chance to go further in this war.
During the morning training, the people from the Military Merit Department announced that the award of the Steel Breathing Method had been added to the military merit exchange, and the conditions were higher than the Basic Breathing Method, but far lower than the difficulty of the exchange of the Beast Breathing Method, and those who had already exchanged the Basic Breathing Method only needed to obtain the Steel Breathing Method in the form of making up the difference, giving a low-level officer like Matt greater hope.
In Matt's opinion, this is an absolutely suitable breathing method for himself, which is easy to get started and has a good effect, which can make him reach the standard of a quasi-knight faster.
As long as you meet the standard of a quasi-knight and the salary can be raised a cut, you can have more resources to pave the way for yourself to become a knight.
Once they enter the military merit system designed by Richard, soldiers and officers will work hard to kill the enemy, get rewards and treatment, use rewards and treatment to improve their strength, and then work hard to kill the enemy, in exchange for more resources to continue to improve their strength.
So since the order was given from above to mobilize for battle, from officers to ordinary soldiers, they have generally fallen into a state of excitement, after all, cutting people have the opportunity to be promoted to become stronger, as for being cut? It's normal to die on the way to becoming stronger, anyway, everyone will only see the glory of those who succeed.
…
Cavalry camp
Richard was observing the training of the Red Flame Knights and the Heavy Cavalry,
Although the members of the Knights and the mounted heavy cavalry were less than four hundred, there were at least a thousand people and thousands of horses in the camp.
On average, each man was accompanied by two squires and a few auxiliary Northland horses, who did nothing else, armoured the knights and heavy cavalry before the charge, shared a part of the weight of the armor and weapons during the march, and could also be used as light cavalry in case of emergency.
"Boom..."
Hundreds of horsemen in heavy armor were lining up in a neat queue for charging drills, the heavy iron armor wrapped from the horse's knees to the head of the horsemen, and the face was a pair of face armor with only their eyes exposed.
Although they have not been training for a long time, the formation has already been shaped, after all, none of these people are weak in kung fu immediately, and many people have practiced for no less than ten years, and now they are just lining up to familiarize themselves with the orders.
The group charge of the heavy cavalry was much louder than that of the ordinary cavalry, and in addition to the sound of iron hooves hitting the ground, the sound of the thick armor on the cavalry's body colliding with metal in the bumps was also extremely imposing music to Richard's ears.
However, after two or three rounds of charge, the ordinary mounted heavy cavalry, whether it was a western war horse or a knight on a horse, had already shown fatigue, and this state almost had to retreat and rest on the battlefield.
The composition of these cavalry is not low in quality, the horses are all good quality war horses purchased from the west, if you don't count the bug-level horses made by Richard, this is already the most comprehensive and highest quality horse breed, all aspects are superior to all the excellent war horses that Richard knew in his previous life, and the weight and endurance are excellent,
The choice of cavalry is also selected from the Hunter family and the cavalry of various families attached to the nobility, all of them have practiced breathing, and many of them are directly quasi-knights, if there is no comparison with the Chiyan Knights, this level of heavy riding may have made Richard incense not good, but with the Chiyan Knights, Richard is now thinking about how to expand the scale of the Knights,
After the same few rounds of charges, the knights of the Red Flame Knights, whether it is the Red Flame Horse or the horse, are still in good condition, and it is not a problem to see how many rounds of this state rush back and forth.
You must know that the battle armor and horse armor of the Red Flame Knights are custom-made, which are nearly twice as heavy as ordinary equipment, and the weight of people and horses plus iron armor is close to five tons, and such a knight can't catch the ogre chief head-on.
It's a pity that the number is still too small, even if you add the knights who took refuge from the Northland, there are only more than sixty horsemen in the Red Flame Knights now, and they still have to be mixed and matched with ordinary heavy horses to play a greater role.
"Phew..."
Seeing that it was almost over, Richard rode in front of the people who were training with a stop gesture,
All the knights took off their face armor and saluted Richard on their horses as a sign of respect, riding with arrogance, and Richard with a golden helmet on his head and wearing a gold-trimmed cloth mask looked very majestic.
When everyone's eyes were focused, Richard nodded at everyone, which was considered to be a response to their salute, and then began to show his traditional skills.
Richard can only be said to be qualified in his speech, which is not a little worse than a certain painter, but Richard has his own advantages, that is, reality, in his speech, the real pie painting can be seen and touched
To sum it up, do you want wealth? Do you want a woman? Do you want status? Chop off the heads of those ogres with your weapons, and I'll give you everything you want!
The Northland cavalry, who were originally worshipping Richard and eager to die for Richard, shouted long live excitedly, wishing that they would immediately set foot in the wilderness and trample the originally terrible ogres under the iron hooves.
Their excited cheers brought the group of knights of the Red Flame Knights, who were originally quite calm, into this atmosphere, and they became excited together.
Soldiers seek war, and the army's heart can be used...
