Chapter 114: Changes in Wellenburg

Julian also wondered, most of these civilians were weak, and they were very afraid of the soldiers of Willenburg, not to mention the vicious barbarians, could these people fight?

Mu Lan rushed here as soon as she finished the training of the Battle Mage Regiment, and she didn't even have anything to eat, there was no way to make the situation urgent, and there was no time to waste.

This is a square on the second floor of Willenburg, mainly used for celebrations and religious masses, and now it has been forcibly requisitioned by the rock-solid team, and thousands of people are standing below at a loss, at this time, the crowd is loud, it seems to be extremely noisy and chaotic, and the soldiers led by Shi Zhengyang are maintaining order.

There is no need for these people to become qualified warriors immediately, all Mu Lan needs is a militia who can take up arms to defend their homeland, and they are assigned rudimentary wooden-handled weapons, and the instructors can teach them a few simple stabbing techniques.

Wellenburg's military resources are insufficient, although the ratio of population to soldiers fifteen to one has far exceeded other territories, but the barbarian army is too large, they are almost the strength of a city to face the entire Zhuo Ruitan barbarians, not to mention that the soldiers also have to shoulder other functions such as security in the city, patrol and reconnaissance, so Willenburg must be mobilized.

There are many people who don't want to participate in the war, they are worried that they will become cannon fodder and be consumed by the nobles, and the phrase "good men are not soldiers" is widely spread, the status of soldiers is not high, and there are also rumors of "a family of soldiers and bandits", after all, the military literacy of this world is not high, lack of restraint, after the sweep of the army in this feudal era, the bandits are like combing soldiers and grates are not just a joke, and the soldiers are as terrible in their hearts as the barbarians they have never seen, which makes many people have the idea of escaping compulsory military service.

Many people ran out one after another, and there was resistance when the young people were requisitioned on the streets, but the soldiers received death orders, and all those who escaped and resisted were locked up, and the soldiers would put up notices posting the names of these people, so that they would be ashamed of being laughed at.

This can't blame Mu Lan for being ruthless, in troubled times, the situation is already so critical, everything has to be conceded for the war, Julian agreed, and praised Mu Lan for governing the country.

Of course she didn't have the skills to govern the country, but she had read too many books, and many things had been summarized before, and she had to be ruthless to do this kind of thing, so she simply didn't let Shi Zhengyang participate, but just asked him to obediently help maintain law and order.

The tough orders from above were carried out in cold blood by the lower ranks, and whipping and parades appeared in every street of Wellenburg, and the people of the city finally obeyed the plan of the upper ranks, although they were terrified.

A large number of young and middle-aged people have been trained to become reserve soldiers, the number has reached an astonishing 50,000, although they can only have a few simple moves, and the weapons assigned are also very simple, all of them are wooden sticks fixed with metal blades, a bit like a pitchfork, but the basic combat effectiveness is there, and the instructors will bring out some barbarian prisoners from time to time for the militia to train, so that most of them have seen blood and overcome psychological fear.

The remaining women of working age were also mobilized to take charge of the logistics of the city, all the carpenters and blacksmiths that Wielenberg could find were hired, and after assigning them to their young laborers, they worked overtime every day to produce arrows and shields, many of the city's wooden buildings were demolished for materials, and even the palace that General Roland had prepared for the dignitaries was demolished.

All the fabrics were gathered to produce bandages, and the people also donated a lot of clothes, all of which were thrown to Zhao Ziyu, who led the medical team, and he was not idle at this time, and wrote a set of treatment standards according to his experience in modern society, such as how to deal with blood loss, how to deal with infection, how to give priority to traumatic treatment, what kind of wounded can be abandoned, and so on......

Theory alone is not enough, he brought the medicine exchanged by the main god system, because the items produced by the main god only have durability and no shelf life, so Shi Zhengyang exchanged a lot of them in order to save trouble, but now he uses it.

However, these medicines are still insignificant to an entire army, so they can only be used to treat the wounded who can recover quickly, and the role of the medical team is now to reduce unnecessary losses, that is, to do some simple work of bandaging to stop bleeding and treating wounds.

Shi Zhengyang and Shen Wei's training has yielded some results, these soldiers who are themselves the elite of the army have taken on a new look during this time, although their appearance and dress have not changed, their eyes seem to be burning with flames, a kind of fear of barbarians, guarding their homes and relatives, and wanting to sacrifice their hearts for His Royal Highness the prince is engraved in their hearts.

Seeing the soldiers with completely different mental outlooks, Shi Zhengyang and Shen Wei looked at each other and smiled, although it was far from the effect they wanted to achieve, but these five hundred people were already the most advanced ideological army in this era, and they were completely different from those private soldiers who bullied the people with power, these soldiers who had undergone ideological and political education knew why they were fighting, and their enthusiasm was fully mobilized in return with money and honor.

The next 500 men will be scattered and distributed to each team like a river flowing into the sea, and in order to prevent the veterans from joining the regiment, the soldiers of Willenberg will also be reorganized on a large scale, and these 500 men will be appointed as officers, which will bring new ideas to the soldiers.

General Roland was shocked by the general mobilization set off in Wierenburg, and he and his officers walked through the streets, and on the way they saw the barbarian captives paraded in cages, and the people from the initial fear to the later anger threw stones at the barbarian captives, who were stoned to death, and their bodies were hung in the air to boost morale.

General Roland found it incredible, everyone, everywhere was busy, people's demeanor became resolute, the weapons to defend the city were produced in batches, and the whole city was like a high-speed war machine, everything was in the service of war.

"In fact, by now, Willenburg's potential has been almost realized." Shi Zhengyang said.

At this time, everyone gathered in front of the huge terrain sand table in the war room, the military map here was much more accurate than the map that Zhao Ziyu bought before, and it finally had a scale, but the details still could not satisfy everyone.

Shen Wei simply asked people to redraw a map, not only that, but he and Shi Zhengyang also created the world's first terrain sand table, with a three-dimensional structure of the terrain map, even Lin Yiyi, who was completely ignorant of military affairs, could see where it was suitable for attack and where it was suitable for defense.

"Therefore, the military level of this world is really backward, and many things have been invented in ancient China a long time ago, and the sand table is." Shen Wei said helplessly.

Shi Zhengyang touched the model of the castle in Willenburg, it was quite similar, and he said casually: "The so-called war here is just a wild fight between the big and small lords, and I heard that the captured nobles can also be redeemed with gold coins." ”

"I can't imagine that just a few hundred years have passed, an empire can degenerate to the level of the Middle Ages, and if it weren't for this barbarian invasion, I don't think Northval would have lasted a few years."
