Volume VI Attack on Titan: The World Chapter 36 Pisis's Battle Plan
With the current appeal of His Royal Highness the Divine Son, under the holy war, a force of 5,000 Knights of the Holy Wall was still easily formed.
The members of the Holy Spear Knights, Ye Tian is not just any old, weak, sick and disabled, the soldiers are all young and middle-aged men, they can almost be regarded as the pillars of the family, the Higanshina District is just an urn city with a population of hundreds of thousands, and the recruitment of the Knights of the Holy Wall is almost to the extent that there is one person from each household.
This force can be regarded as the biggest reliance of the reincarnation team in this world, and for the Knights of the Holy Wall, Ye Tian is also very valuable, and he will arm them fully at any cost, muskets and armor are standard, and do his best to increase their chances of survival in the battlefield.
The dedication of the people of Higanshina District, Ye Tian looked at it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, in order to better motivate the soldiers in the Knights Templar, Ye Tian proposed the title system of honorary believers.
In this system, honorary believers are divided into nine classes, with first, second, and third classes having the highest status and glory, and seventh, eighth, and ninth classes being the secondary, but as long as they enter the system of honorary believers, they can really be called wall-worshippers.
In order to motivate the morale of the Knights of the Holy Wall, as long as you get combat merits on the battlefield, you can exchange them for honorary believers through combat merits, and after becoming an honorary believer, whether you are alive or dead, your family is governed by the Wall Sect, and the right to shop in the Reincarnation Chamber of Commerce has also been improved accordingly.
Of course, in Ye Tian's opinion, although this thing is a bit utilitarian and a little suspicious of exploiting labor, but the people of Xiganshina District don't think so, the whole city is happy for the generous behavior of the Son of God, they don't care about cheap and convenient, what they care about is the word honor.
Is there anything more joyful for a believer who has fallen into the glory of the Son of God than to be approved by the Son of God?
The morale of the Knights of the Holy Wall is very high, they can't wait to dedicate the fruits of victory to His Royal Highness the Son of God, of course, although these soldiers are composed of ordinary people, but it does not mean that they are some new recruits who have not seen life and death, most of them have experienced the giant siege four years ago, and after that, the Knights of the Holy Wall have not really disbanded, they are still in a semi-service state, except for the busy farming season, they are in a state of training most of the time.
The instructor is naturally Zhao Yuanguo, as a qualified soldier, Zhao Yuanguo still has some experience in how to train soldiers, strict requirements, orders and prohibitions.
The Knights Templar did not fall behind in the physical training programs of clothing, food, shelter, transportation, walking, squatting, and lying, and in terms of ideological education, the slogans were also shouted loudly, and they were almost not mentioned, without the Son of God, there would be no Parania.
Such a change in the Higanshina district naturally could not escape the eyes of the military department, and the most troublesome in the military department was naturally President Thackeray, during his term of office, there was a rebellion, how to say it is also a big stain.
In the past few years, the Higanshina district has been quite unstable, and the orders of the military department are also in disobedience, and he has also heard of the struggle between the reincarnation chamber of commerce and the big nobles in the country, to be honest, he still wants to see the power to fight with the nobles, but he didn't expect things to happen so suddenly, and it was so big, that he actually launched a holy war to overthrow the king.
The council of nobles who got the news immediately gathered together to discuss the strategy of coping, these high-powered, brain-full nobles couldn't believe that those poor mud-legged people in the Higanshina district had the courage to resist the king's authority, all along, not even if they threw a little bone, those poor guys like dogs would laugh and come up and kneel and lick it, how dare they resist, it was like eating the bear's heart and leopard's gall.
After some disbelief, the council began to quarrel fiercely, and eventually the nobles became greedy and devised an anti-rebel force with the southern commander Doto Pisis as the main general.
In the past, the Higanshina district was located in a remote area, and the industrial technology was quite backward, and her greatest contribution to the country was to produce a little food, but before that, the great nobles of the parliament had no interest in the Higanshina district, but now it is different, the Higanshina district is the base camp of the reincarnation chamber of commerce, and various technologies emerge in an endless stream, which is an infinite wealth for the nobles.
They have long been tired of the intrigue business war with the Samsara Chamber of Commerce, of course, the main thing is that they can't take advantage of the business war, and now the rebellion in the Higanshina district just provides them with the conditions.
The astonishing wealth in the Chamber of Reincarnation is why they are not greedy.
The proposal for Pixar to be the commander is that the Higanshina district is also part of the southern theater of operations, in a sense, this is a matter for Doto Pixis.
After all, the nobles in the parliament still despised the rebellion in a small southern town, and they defined this so-called jihad operation as a foolish and self-defeating, believing that as soon as the army of the country arrived, the mud-legged men would be frightened and worshipped.
Doto Pisis was a very emaciated old man, who had not been bloated by years of pampering, and was deeply engraved with the marks of the army, and he was a very self-disciplined man, who had reached the highest position in the garrison corps, and was able to find time to exercise every day, even if there was no one to supervise and he was busy.
His personality is quite easy-going, he smiles every day, of course, he also understands, behind his back, I don't know how many people call him an old fox or a smiling tiger or something, and he doesn't care much about this, he regards these titles as a compliment from other people's teams, not every old man is an old fox, isn't it?
However, the ease and casualness that Pisis had been hanging on his face disappeared by this moment, and what made him so was a thin piece of paper on the huge desk.
This is a letter of appointment given to him by the Parliament to settle the rebellion in the Higanshina district.
Pisis is not like those aristocratic wastes who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and he feels that this so-called jihadist operation in the Higanshina district is not easy to deal with, and it is not easy to deal with.
Hannes of the Higanshina District is a person he can trust, otherwise he would not have brought the other party along, but for this rebellion, the other party did not even pass on any news to him, which is very abnormal, whether in terms of duties or personal relationships, the other party should give himself a message as the commander of the Southern Theater of Operations, as a result, until now, he has not received half of the information, so it seems that Hannes has fallen.
Pisis still knows a lot about this soldier under his command, and under the casual and relaxed appearance, Hannes actually has a firm heart, but it is such a determined warrior who actually succumbed to the doctrine of the wall religion, and it can only be said that this wall religion is really not simple.
What's more, Pisis once knew some things from Erwin's mouth, such as the unpredictable Son of God.
Gently stroking his knee with his left hand, Pisis sighed, he is still quite strong now, and pays attention to the maintenance of his body, but the impact of some battles in his youth has long been paid back to him, and it is impossible to let him charge into battle, all he can do is sit behind and be a staff officer.
He regretted a little that after hearing Erwin's exaggerated words, he didn't go to the Higanshina district to see the god son in person, was he unwilling to toss his body and bones, or did he just ignore Erwin's words as a joke?
Despite his many concerns, Pisis quickly gathered the soldiers of the garrison, and in addition to the 3,000 troops in the Hyganshna district, Pisis also had nearly 10,000 troops under his command.
Pisis became more and more cautious and timid as he got older, and all the soldiers of the garrison corps were pulled out by him, except for a few soldiers who remained in the Tolost district.
The distance between the Torost district and the Higanshina district was so close that it didn't take half a day for the soldiers in a hurry to get from here to there.
For this battle, Pisis made a special raid plan, and the garrison corps moved south from the Toroste district, and began to divide the troops in the middle of the two cities, half to the east and half to the west, and finally the two separate troops bypassed the north gate of the Higanshina district, climbed the city wall from east and west, and flanked the Higanshina district from both sides.
Supporting his plan was the number of soldiers of the so-called Knights of the Holy Wall, 5,000 to 10,000, one to two.
If the opponent divides the army, it is still a ratio of one to two, but the combat effectiveness of 2,500 people is not simply half of 5,000 people, as soon as the battle line is lengthened, the disadvantage of insufficient numbers becomes more obvious, the defense is greatly reduced, and it is easier to break through.
If the other side does not divide the army, it is even better, one of the troops can entangle the Knights of the Holy Wall, and one army is enough to take over the entire Hiskanhina district, the Knights of the Holy Wall will directly become a lone army, without food and grass support, as long as they are dragged for a few days, the Knights of the Holy Wall will break down without a fight.
Of course, there is also a change in this, that is, the Hannes who are stationed in the Higanshina district, this force also has about 3,000 people, and if they are put into the defense of the Knights of the Holy Wall, the numerical advantage will be weakened a lot.
Although Pisis was a little worried about this, he still stubbornly believed that Hannes was only an isolated case, and most of the soldiers still had their hearts set on the king, and as long as the time came, he could send his own envoys to regain the power of the garrison in the Higanshina district.
In this way, the Knights of the Holy Wall will fail even faster.
