In the end, Kster followed the advice of the three and called Feida to the command headquarters to meet with the three of them. Kerst introduces her as his friend, but Rickon can't hide it, and he doesn't say a word to let everyone know that Feda is Lolita's good sister, and Lolita is Princess Monica's best friend. In other words, the relationship between the two people who are Kester and Feida is not ordinary with the Duke's family.

In the end, Kester couldn't hold back and kicked the talkative Rickon out of the command.

That night, Koster's tent was brightly lit, and Koster, who had not slept all night, wrote a three-page parchment plan, and when he went out in the morning, Ferda joked that Koster's hair had lost one-third of his hair overnight, which made Koster very depressed.

Jon, Rober, and Rickon, three young men, came to wait outside the door of Kerst early in the morning, looking at the few people with rabbit eyes, Caster sighed a little, sure enough, the young man was determined, and he was more confident in his regiment.

"Alright, here's the plan I made last night, you all pass it on and take a look!" Kerst handed the results of last night to a few people, starting with Jon, the three big heads together and looked at them carefully. Kester didn't speak, boredly playing with his scabbard, waiting for them to finish.

After a long time, the three of them raised their heads, and their red eyes seemed to become even redder, as if their spirits had been greatly impacted. Rickon was the first to come back to his senses, "Master Kerster, did you come up with this all on your own?"

Kerry nodded, "Of course, don't you see that my hair has fallen out a lot!"

"Oooh!" Rickon stopped talking, and Jon continued, "Master Kerster, it's amazing, it's worthy of returning from the Royal Academy of San Jose!"

"Stop, stop, don't patronize and praise me!" Kerst was modest, but thought in his heart, "You think the Tao Strategy is fake, it is all thaumaturgy that specializes in training and leading soldiers, but fortunately, it can be pushed to the Royal Military Academy, and it is troublesome for me to explain." ”

Coming out of the regimental commander's headquarters, the three battalion commanders rushed back to their camp tents, gathered their junior officers, and began to carry out the plan of the Chester.

The first step in the Ukester plan is to reorganize the troops.

According to the military system provided by the Shang Alliance to Kaman, the 3,000 men of the Thirteenth Regiment were divided into three battle camps, that is, the direct subordinates led by Jon, Rober, and Riken. Each camp had a thousand people, divided into a hundred squads, each with ten people. The squad leader was in charge of the number ten, and then a hundred squad leaders reported directly to their battalion commander.

Thinking of a hundred big men rushing towards you, Kerst couldn't help but shudder and be disgusted. Although it is a temporary establishment (Note 1), it is too unfavorable for command.

As a result, Koster set up a wing below the battalion level. For each battalion, five wings were set up, and five wing commanders were directly responsible to the battalion commander. Each wing has direct jurisdiction over fifteen squads, and each squad is still ten people.

Each battalion took out about a hundred men, a total of 300 men, and Koster took them into the personal guard battalion and handed them directly over to his squire Phaeda to command. These three hundred people will be personally tested and taught by Feida, and they must have good enough martial arts skills and clean background to serve as the garrison of the regimental headquarters and the reserve of the entire brigade.

Each of the remaining battalions saved 150 men, for a total of 450 men in the regiment, and Koster wanted to make them into special combat units, of which more than 100 Kester were ready to make them scouts, and the other 300 men would become Koster's ideal long-range support force.

Therefore, the entire 13th Brigade will have three light infantry battalions with a total of 2,250 men, one guard battalion with 300 men, one scout wing with 150 men, and one long-range support wing with 300 men.

Among them, the Scout Wing and the Long-Range Support Wing are both new branches of the Koster Army, although this is the first time in the history of the Kaman Army, but in the military systems of the mainland countries, it is actually not a precedent.

For example, Desik, among their wasteland warriors, has the Ranger class, which is an elite soldier used for espionage intelligence and early warning of the battle situation, and Kerst also refers to this practice. One hundred and fifty Orion-born soldiers were gathered together to form this scout wing. These hunters, who live in the Sunset Mountains all year round, are hard-working and proficient in tracking. Kerst was still thinking about where to find a good wing captain for them and take them with him.

As for the long-range support wing, this one was purely learned at the Royal Military Academy in San Jose. The San Jose Empire, thanks to its strong national strength, has developed very quickly in its armaments, mainly focusing on the progress of various long-range weapons, such as strong bows and crossbows.

The fighting style of the San Jose Imperial army has developed to the point where it has not yet been engaged, first with a set of long-range attacks in order to break the opponent's "turtle shell", and then the world-famous heavy infantry phalanx will attack along the broken defense line and harvest lives.

When he was studying at the Royal Military Academy, he had been fascinated by this tactic for a long time, and later saw a similar tactic in Taoluo, so the first thing he did when he took over the army was to form his own long-range support wing.

Forming a wing is one thing, weapons is another. It is true that the Shang Alliance has provided a batch of bows and crossbows free of charge, but they are all loose and loose weapons bows, which are not of great use, not to mention the short range, and are particularly easy to damage, and they can't even guarantee basic training.

After consulting several battalion commanders, Kest learned that the weapons assigned to his regiment by Xiao Mu were already relatively sophisticated. The other two regiments, even if they were such broken bows, did not have a few.

"I can't help it, I can only find a way later. ”

After the work of reorganizing the troops was completed, the mercenaries sent by the merchant alliance and the retired experienced officers in red robes were arranged in the position of the wing leader of each wing, and the position of the grassroots officer with the largest number of squad leaders was vacated, which was the second step of the work of the company, training.

Training, as the name suggests, is to train soldiers. For a group of recruits who have just laid down their hoes and hammers (Note 2), how to train them well and how to make them soldiers who can fight as quickly as possible is the most troublesome thing for all noble officers.

In this era, the nobles did not worry about food and clothing, received various elite education since childhood, were familiar with weapons, and even learned some knowledge. But for civilians, that's another matter.

Half of the farmers who got the spear for the first time were nervous and couldn't hold the spear, and the other half held the spear upside down in their hands as if it were a hoe, which made people laugh and cry.

Koster asked all the soldiers to assemble on the school grounds, announcing that there would be a series of training plans in the future, and the wing commander and battalion commander would rate all the soldiers who participated in the training, and those with higher scores would have the opportunity to get the vacant squad leader positions.

In Koster's concept, a warlike army, its junior officers must be very top-notch, able to accurately convey the instructions of their superiors, and able to boost the morale of the soldiers, calm the panicked soldiers, and stabilize the array.

And these soldiers who stand out from the assessment are, first of all, the coquettish among all, who are able to convince the public, which has the greatest morale boost.

With the control of the junior officer, the brigade commander of the brigade can cover his soldiers to the maximum.

As for the training of ordinary soldiers, Koster's plan is divided into three aspects: physical fitness, combat skills, and discipline.

In this era, the aristocratic officers generally fought on horseback, and they had horses that could help them with expensive weapons and overweight armor, but all the ordinary soldiers, they could only rely on their own legs. Without enough physical fitness, even if these soldiers go to the battlefield, they are nothing more than mermaids.

Therefore, with the help of Feida, Koster picked out dozens of training methods from the elven martial arts, and handed them over to the three battalion commanders under him, and when Jon, Rober, and Rickon saw this whole set of training methods, their mouths couldn't close in surprise.

Rickon was the first to throw all his armor on the ground on the spot, and Kerst asked him why in confusion, but Rickon didn't speak, but Jon on the side helped him explain, "The three of us bet on who has the strongest soldiers, and this guy is determined to eat, live and train with the soldiers, and swear to beat us." Then I looked at your training plan, Commander Koster, and I guess he was a cumbersome armor. ”

Koster thought about the physical training aspects of his training plan, and then looked at the armor that smashed a hole in the ground, and couldn't help but wonder.

The second is combat skills training. For the light infantry of the main combat force in the regiment, Koster just let them train themselves according to the combat discipline of the Shang League, and the wing commanders of each battalion are experienced people, so there is no need for Koster to say anything. The pro-guard battalion was personally transferred ~ by Feida, and there was no need for Kster to care. As for the long-range support wing and scout team, Kester has other arrangements.

If physical training and combat skills training can be understood by everyone, then discipline training is basically unheard of by everyone. Jon had a wing captain under him who had served in the Mercenary Legion for a long time, and this time he was sent to support the new army of the Duchy of Kaman, and he completely did not understand the so-called queue training, housekeeping training, marching training, etc. that Kerst had written, which in their eyes was a complete waste of energy and time.

The three battalion commanders, who had always been at the head of the Weixter horse, did not speak, and it seemed that they did not understand very well. For the first time, Kester showed the authority of the regimental commander, "I don't need your understanding, I just need your unreserved execution." ”

The three who couldn't resist the head of the regiment left with their co-captains suspiciously.

After two busy days, Kerst finally conveyed the basic training plan in place, and the rest of the work, as the brigade commander, he basically couldn't do anything except supervise it, and he could only unreservedly believe in Jon, Rober, and Rickon, which was also a test for the three of them.

Note 1: Temporary establishment, because the officer corps has not been fully in place, the entire 13th Regiment of the 6th Army of the Kaman New Army still has only the basic establishment of squad leader. This temporary establishment will be reorganized after the new direct general or regiment commander is in place.

Note 2: The soldiers of the new army were partly from farmers and partly from the servants of aristocratic families, and their tools for work in the past were mainly hoes and hammers.
