Chapter 157: The Present Situation
Ten days later, at the foot of the Gray Mountains' northernmost Brock Iron Mine, the Imperial military camp.
"Go and take His Royal Highness's guards to have a good rest, and by the way, let this brave refugee take a bath." When Marshal Robert saw Zhang Hao and the others falling, he immediately ordered his soldiers to help Buick and others lead the horses.
"Good day, Your Royal Highness!" In addition to Robert, Teucer and Bini also came to greet Zhang Hao.
"Marshal Robert, these two boys didn't cause you trouble, did they?" Zhang Hao was naturally very happy to see Bini and Teucer, and sighed in his heart that time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, these two boys who don't understand anything have become generals.
"Your Highness laughed, the two of them really helped a lot." Hearing Marshal Robert's compliment, Teucer and Beaney smiled embarrassedly. "We've got some food ready, Your Highness, look?"
"No, let me tell me about the situation first, the entire temporary military camp was built with the help of the dwarves, right?" Zhang Hao began to inspect the barracks accompanied by Marshal Robert and Bieney and Teucer, this is the first combat unit in the empire with 100,000 units as a legion, and it is also the first time to make a public appearance, so Zhang Hao must be cautious,
"This legion is named the Sigma Legion, which was taken by His Majesty the Emperor himself, in order to commemorate the Sigma Cult founded by His Highness, and the legion now consists of 80,000 infantry, 40,000 shield swordsmen, 20,000 halberders, 10,000 crossbowmen, 5,000 musketeers and 5,000 giant swordsmen. Fifteen thousand cavalry units, nine thousand Imperial Knights, two thousand five hundred Herald Knights, three thousand Rik Praetorian Guards, and five hundred and a half griffon knights. The remaining 5,000 are all artillery units, including 300 improved steam tanks and 10 light demons. The artillery configuration is the number of units made up by the whole empire. β
"How long does it take to level Cologne directly?" When Zhang Hao heard the number of artillery, he was directly shocked to no, Zhang Hao's recruitment system has not stopped since the establishment of the major main cities, the state will use 80% of the tax to recruit troops, and in a few months, the whole country can gather 5,000 artillery units, this is the prototype of the real steel defense line, I really look forward to the steel defense line after Dacheng, which will definitely shock the whole world.
"All the ammunition we have now is only enough for two hours of continuous bombing, but according to our estimates, it will only take an hour to move the level of Cologne." Robert looked incredibly proud when he said that number again. But you must know that before the army went out, Field Marshal Robert also strongly opposed Emperor Karl's crazy move, and it was undoubtedly a very risky move to integrate the country's artillery units into the first legion, but in the end Karl asked Robert a question, "There will be six armies of this size in the future empire, if you don't try to command it now, when all six legions are reorganized, what will you rely on to command?" Experience? Do you know how powerful these 5,000 guns are when they fire together? Do you know how to command an infantry of 80,000 men in battle? Communication Crystal, what rank of warrior do you want to give it to so that the army of 100,000 people can attack and defend in the way of Marshal and you? After Carl finished asking, Marshal Robert was stunned on the spot, his thinking was still stuck in the framework of a previous war of no more than 10,000 people, after Carl's reminder, Robert woke up
Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. Net Recommendation:
Of course, there is a huge difference between the command of a 10,000-strong army and a 100,000-strong army, and it will be too late to train the troops when the time comes to the actual war. The Roald family, one man and two brothers, will surely bring the empire to a glory that has never been seen before.
"Can you be sure if King Lorne is inside?" After Zhang Hao and the three of them got on their horses, they began to move quickly towards the position where the artillery was placed.
"No, Your Highness, Cologne has now become the stronghold of the Beastmen, and it is predicted that there are more than 100,000 Beastmen troops hidden inside."
"What? Lakh? Where did the Beastmen come from so many? "Zhang Hao just thought that the artillery would open the way and directly wipe out the beastmen, but now when he heard that there were at least 100,000, he couldn't help but think in his heart, just kidding, the beastmen really need to have 100,000 troops, and Litir has already been wiped out a hundred times. Then again, even if there were really 100,000 troops, were all of Bretonnia Aisoloren blind? So many years without any awareness? Zhang Hao didn't believe it at all when he heard it.
"Your Highness, the last time we probed was three days ago, according to the information provided by the Bretonnian army, the number of harpys alone has exceeded 10,000, and the conclusion based on the normal full army configuration of the beastmen is that they have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops." As soon as Robert spoke of Cologne's situation, he immediately became serious.
"How many troops does Bretonnia have now? Where are they? β
"Bretonnia now had an army of about 200,000 men, all of which were scattered among the principalities and peasants, and King Laune had none of his troops in Cologne. They are currently stationed in the Le Angulang district, a lower city in Cologne, and their numbers are increasing rapidly. It is expected that the number of troops will exceed 500,000 when the lake fairies arrive, but they lack weapons and armor, and the beastmen have emptied the stocks of the four principalities during the time they have been under their control, so even if the number increases, their combat effectiveness will ......"
"What happened during the time that the Beastmen controlled them?" It took about twenty days between the coup d'Γ©tat and the nightmare being relieved by Zhang Hao, and during this time, not to mention him, even the Nymph of the Lake and Alboric didn't know what was going on outside of Carcassonne.
"The Reich now received more than 800,000 Bretonnian refugees, west of Aldolf and south of Fort Marien, a four-day distance behind the barracks, all of which were home to Bretonnian refugees, and even Bullock helped to collect hundreds of thousands. The leaders of the four principalities barely survived, and the soldiers were all pulled away as laborers, without eating, drinking, or resting for more than ten days, and almost no one survived, and if the Red Duke came out at this time, Bretonnia would become the second Silvania. After Marshal Robert finished speaking, Zhang Hao suddenly realized why the beastmen wanted to find a way to control the Red Duke. Bretonnia is not like the empire is a land of four wars, the long-term peace has already made their population exceed the 10 million mark, in the current situation, it seems that the maximum number of people who fled to Carcassonne is counted, at least fifty percent of the people in Bretonnia died, once the Red Duke did not resist when he was found by Marago and Kazak for the second time, then this first legion of the empire now really has nothing to show off......
