The Sixth Army of the Merchant Alliance was a light infantry corps, including the 13th Regiment of Koster. The armor and weapons were all brought by Xiao Mu as a scoundrel to find the Shang League**, and his original plan was that if it didn't work, these soldiers would be ready to go to the battlefield with wooden sticks. Earl Munch, who will deliver letters, will be so ashamed that he will almost burrow into the cracks in the ground.

At this time, the soldiers assembled on the school field finally have the appearance of some soldiers, and they are no longer the messy hooligan images they had when they came yesterday.

Light infantry, as the name suggests, is light infantry, they are generally equipped with leather armor and a small amount of metal that can cover vital parts such as the chest and neck, and the main weapons are spears and small round shields, supplemented by a small number of bows and crossbows, and there are generally no horses except for noble officers.

Before coming, Koster had actually studied the situation of the various armies of the Shang Alliance, and thanks to Xiao Mu's help, he knew that he had cheated Koster's Xiao Mu, and provided a lot of first-hand information very diligently. Combined with his studies at the Royal Military Academy in San Jose, Kester considered several major issues.

First of all, the soldiers of the Merchant League, or Kaman, lacked formal military training. The military development of the countries on the mainland has also gone through a tortuous road from scratch and from irregular to regular, but in any case, a strong and stable national strength is the basis for ensuring military development.

The business alliance is rich, and stability cannot be talked about, so it has always taken the path of mercenaries. As a result, countries like Kaman, which have less military pressure on the border (Note 1), have a rather weak military force, and the whole country is dominated by security forces.

Most of the conscripted soldiers in front of them were ordinary soldiers, and some of them were servants and servants of large families, who had only received militarized training for a short time. Most of the officers who led the team were children of nobles. In the impression of these people, the battle is that the aristocratic officers ride on tall horses and charge for a while, and then the light infantry hula rushes up.

On the battlefield, nobles against nobles, commoner soldiers against civilian soldiers, this has always been the method of warfare.

But the Deciks or San Josens don't play with you anymore, and the wolf cavalry has always fallen on you from afar, cutting through your defenses with bows and arrows. Or, San Jose's gun array, unhurried in line to stab you through, so for a long time, the army of the Shang Alliance has always lost more than won in military battles.

To sum up, the tactics of the entire Shang Alliance army are too far behind the current era.

Second, what to fight for.

The army of the Shang Alliance lacked a unified political ideology. Kaman's army was basically pieced together. The peasants thought that they could earn a few more gold coins by coming to the army, and the servants and servants were because their lords could not hinder the request of the Grand Duke of Kaman. Therefore, in the entire barracks, everyone is lifeless and completely messing around.

And the officers, the officers of the 13th Regiment are a little special. Probably in order to take care of Koster, Xiao Mu excluded all the mercenary officers assigned by the Shang Alliance from the Thirteenth Regiment, which was all young officers from Kaman's native background, which was convenient for Koster to manage. These high-spirited young people want to make meritorious contributions, but they don't have much practical experience.

So, on the first day of his tenure, Koster, who was dressed in knightly armor and carried a "broken heart" long sword at his waist, began his first lecture in front of more than 3,000 people in the whole regiment.

However, Kester, who has always been a good speaker, found that he could not continue to speak after not many words. The officers looked at themselves with warm eyes, but the soldiers, one by one, were listless, afraid that they would not be able to stand for long under the red sun. If you look at it from the sky, the spears that these soldiers are holding are staggered and messy. The originally quiet queue, after Kerst had only spoken a few words, became a little noisy. The officers leading the team, from the three battalion commanders and below, were all a little blushing.

Fortunately, Kerst is not a stilted person, "Alright, let's disperse, Jon Roberryken, go to my headquarters." ”

"Tell me all about it, how do you feel?" said Koster, the first thing he did when he returned to the house was to throw his helmet on the ground. Heavy indeed, black iron helmet, this is the best armor in the Kaman treasury. Then there was the plate armor chest, a piece of stainless steel plate armor of the boss, which smashed on the ground with a "Peng", which frightened the three young battalion commanders one by one, and looked at the regiment commander who was younger than himself and sat down angrily.

Although Feida came to the barracks to take care of Kester, she could not enter the headquarters casually, and there were only four of them in the headquarters at this time. A group of bold guards secretly lay on the outside of the headquarters and listened to the movements inside.

"What the hell is this, I have only spoken ten sentences in total, and this group of people is no longer standing, but they are holding a spear, and I am still wearing this knight's armor. I heard that you've been in the army for a while, so you trained me like this?"

Commander Koster looked young, and his temper didn't seem to be very good, and the loud voice of the 12th Brigade next door could hear it. Outside the house, a dozen junior officers and veterans listened to the corner, frowning at each other. It took a while for the boss's anger to subside, and the voice of the head of the head of the Koster gradually quieted down. The veteran outside waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse, and a group of people dispersed in a hurry.

They didn't know that at this time, Insidex was sitting there with a smile, looking at the three officers who didn't dare to come out, and said with a smile: "How about it, I saw that I was still good at talking yesterday, but I didn't expect me to be so angry!"

The three of them nodded busily.

"Don't be afraid, what I said just now was for the people outside. Koster pouted outside. Hearing him say this, the three of them all patted their chests and gasped, "Scared me to death, scared me to death!" Rickon, the youngest, stuck out his tongue.

"Don't be relaxed, although I know that your responsibility is not great, but your subsequent tasks are not light. "Now let's talk about the situation of their respective camps." Rickon, it starts with you. ”

Rickon thought for a moment, "I think my camp is too problematic, and I'm basically made up of servants and servants from noble families here. It's because their respective heads of families can't hinder the call of the feudal monarch, and they are basically thorns in their own families, I've been here for a few months, and they still don't listen to me much, and they always do whatever they want, everyone is from a noble background, and many of them are also related to their families, and I can't punish them. ”

Chester lifted the quill barrel and wrote something on the parchment, "It's a problem, let's find out how to solve it later." Okay, moving on, next. ”

The next one to speak was Rober, a small nobleman from the countryside of Kaman, and the soldiers he assigned were also farmers from the countryside, "Most of my people, except for a small number of junior officers who were dispatched, were farmers and hunters from the countryside of Kaman, and the most they had in their lives were hoes and machetes, and they had basically never taken spears. I've been here for eight months, and some of them are still shivering when they pick up their spears! I think we still have to find a way to train a little more. ”

Spec nodded, didn't speak, and motioned Jon with his eyes to continue.

The tall Jon looks calmer than the other two, he is also the oldest of the three, and he was born into a military family, and he has seen more: "Commander Chestter, with all due respect, although it has been in the army for so long, these people may not be called an army." Moreover, I have an immature idea. Although we Kaman nobles have always taken the lead in the charge and competed, and the subordinates followed and cleaned up, the Desik and San Jose have begun to have new tactics. We also train the army in the current way, which I think makes no sense. ”

Hearing Jon say this, Kerst was a little moved, "Oh, did you come up with it yourself?"

Jon shook his head, "My father suggested to his superiors when he was a red-robed officer, and he also mentioned his own idea of training, but his superiors thought that the red-robed was just a local garrison, and there was no need to spend so much money on training. Later, after my father died, I found his manuscript among his belongings. These are all mentioned in his manuscripts. ”

"Oh, what else did you say?"

"In my father's manuscript, I read that he mentioned that thirty years ago, when he was still serving in the mercenary army of the Shang League, he met a woman, that amazing and beautiful female mercenary, with their squad, invincible, her way of training and leading troops and commanding battles, my father remembered for the rest of his life. That new way of fighting is completely unequal to the other armies of the Shangshang Alliance. Later, when my father returned to Kaman as the head of the Red Robe, he wanted to learn from the mercenary again, but found that the woman had left the mercenary alliance. ”

"Mercenary?" Kerster's heart moved, "It can't be a guardian, Green also said that he had seen the guardian Mousse who was still a mercenary in the Shang Alliance." ”

But Kerst continued, "And what can you do?"

Jon, a stupid big man, smiled, "Captain Koster, I heard that you studied at the Royal Military Academy in San Jose before, how is it, what are the tricks to teach?"

Kester was stunned, "This stupid big man, not stupid, there are not many nobles in Kaman, they are basically connected, it seems that they have figured out my situation." Looking at the other two, they all looked at themselves expectantly, and then they realized that they had acted in a scene first, and these people had also acted in a scene.

"Okay, okay, I see what you mean. Let's start training tomorrow, and when the time comes, don't complain about being tired, you know, I still have to rely on you to lead by example!"

In the end, they were all young people, and the three young officers all said yes one after another.

After finishing business, it was Rickon again, the most clever fellow, who came up and asked mysteriously, "Master Chester, Miss Feida, what are you going to arrange?"

Looking at Rickon's stunned face, Kerst resisted the urge to summon the "Heartbroken" sword to his head, and asked in a low voice, "If there are anything else you don't know, let's tell them together!"

The crowd in the room burst into laughter.

Note 1: The Duchy of Kaman, Tra and Mossat are the nine countries of the Shang Alliance that are relatively close to the southwestern part of the Sunset Mountains, of which Kaman and Mozart are close to the Sunset Mountains, separated by the Morro River and its tributary Hongshui River, and Tra is to the east. To the north of Kaman are allies of the Shang Alliance, so in terms of border military pressure, Kaman should be considered the smallest in the whole continent.
