Chapter 55: Dress-up
"General, our Greek heavy infantry lost a total of 512 people in this battle, and more than half of the remaining soldiers were wounded, but they were all slightly wounded, and they could recover their combat strength after a few days of recuperation, and the spearmen could not be counted specifically, only 205 people returned to the team, and it can be speculated that many spearmen should have fled without permission!"
In the mansion of the lord of the trading town, Li Liguo sat in the reception room where he had first broken in and hacked the pioneer mayor to death, listening to Kuroko's statistical report on the army's losses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Li Liguo listened, he turned to Wang Zhong and asked, "How many residents are left in the town, and can places such as blacksmith shops that can repair armor and weapons still operate?" ”
When Li Liguo attacked the town, he tried his best to avoid slaughtering the townspeople, except for the harassment of the spearmen and cannon fodder who had just entered, the civilians in this town were not too many casualties, and the spearmen and cannon fodder were killed by the mercenaries in the town soon after entering the town, and the mercenaries and guards in the town were busy resisting and running away, and they had no time to hurt those civilians who had no force!
Therefore, it is not uncommon for the town to have more soldiers and few civilians than corpses in the streets!
However, even if Li Liguo ordered that the lives of the townspeople should not be harmed, most of those civilians tried their best to escape, and the trading town lost a lot of population after the war, so Li Liguo was worried about whether the remaining civilians could afford military service and logistics!
Wang Zhong still reported with such a simple expression: "General, the town was very prosperous before, and the floating population can have nearly 10,000 people, even if the phenomenon of fleeing is serious, but we have not won a decisive victory for a long time, blocking many fleeing civilians, and it is still possible to restore basic production and maintenance work."
Military strongholds such as blacksmith shops and armor shops, after our main force enters the town, the first step is to control, so the labor force there is the most intact, and it should be no problem to repair weapons and armor!
But other industries in other towns are basically unable to recover, especially hotels, taverns, restaurants, brothels and other places, most of the fighting takes place here, not to mention the serious damage, the civilian workers inside are either dead or escaped! ”
Li Liguo's brows stretched, what he values most now is the military industry, other civilian facilities, if they are gone, they will be gone, and it will be good to be useful to him after the war!
"Next, we will focus on mobilizing civilians to repair the broken iron armor, especially the dozen or so pairs of plate armor, which must be repaired for me!
Other weapons, keep more armor-piercing weapons, simple and easy-to-use swords and spears to unify, other messy weapons, melt and do scraps or something, you look at it, iron is so expensive, those iron weapons must not be wasted!
Oh, by the way, now it's time to start recruiting and get some pay upgrades......"
Wang Zhong's voice sounded again: "General, I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry out the recruitment work, unless it is forced to pull Zhuang Ding like last time, I briefly investigated the public opinion, and the civilians in the town do not agree too much with the general, if you recruit soldiers, it will be difficult to recruit people no matter how high the salary is......"
When Li Liguo heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "Then let the recruits go down first, let them do their best to repair weapons, armor and logistics, people have to eat, right?" ”
Wang Zhong said with a smile: "General, please rest assured, just leave these to your subordinates!" ”
After dealing with the clean-up of the town, it was already the third day of attacking the town, and under the spearhead of the Greek heavy infantry, although the town was dilapidated, the order was still good!
When Li Liguo was paraded through the streets of the town with his escorts, he found that no matter what the townspeople were doing, they all cast disgust and a little fear at the Greek heavy infantry and his own group to maintain law and order, and many of them were still looking around with vague eyes, obviously the civilians in the town were not willing to be driven to do things like this!
This time, Li Liguo completely gave up the idea of recruiting troops from the town, and handed over the weapons to the hateful people, which was an extremely dangerous approach, they were not the villagers who surrendered with Wang Zhong, this was a group of desperate people whose homes were destroyed and felt that they were being treated as slaves!
Li Liguo looked at the more than 300 Zhuge crossbows that could still be used in the weapon inventory, and tens of thousands of special crossbow arrows, and the weapons collected on various battlefields piled up on the side......
The Greek heavy infantry has begun to change to better protective iron armor, which is basically taken from the body of the dead and simply repaired or even directly put on the body!
Various types of iron armor, such as fish scale armor, chain mail, and cuirass, were worn on the Greek hoplites, and the styles were not much different, they were all dark armor, and the big eyes did not look too messy.
The more than a dozen sets of iron plate armor of the great swordsman were all assigned to his escort team by Li Liguo, and the escort team only had dozens of people, but all of them were composed of Greek heavy infantry selected from a hundred battles, and they were extremely skilled in individual combat and battle array fighting!
A dozen of the most elite warriors in Li Liguo's army were selected, and Li Liguo trained them individually, equipped with full-body plate armor, and these people will be used as assault arrows!
These dozen or so people are using two-handed double-edged giant swords, and no one can resist them head-on under the wide open and closed slash!
Li Liguo pulled out the personal auxiliary interface and asked: "Are there soldiers with basic military training at a cheap price, and it is okay if they don't have weapons and equipment." ”
"Raiders have been detected to have reached 1,000 kills, and can recruit a basic mercenary template with neutral loyalty, which has no weapons and equipment, and has only received basic military training from the Bronze Age!"
Li Liguo's eyes lit up, he really ha, he originally planned to buy some cheap primitive troops, although the discipline is poor and the combat effectiveness is not good, at least he will not betray himself, and he can still be pulled into the battlefield if he is well armed!
And most importantly, cheaper than the Greek heavy infantry!
This Junior Mercenary Basic Template is exactly what it looks like!
Li Liguo calculated the price of Greek heavy infantry and the price of junior mercenaries, confirmed the number of iron armor that could be used, and bought a small amount of Greek heavy infantry and 1,300 junior mercenaries with war coins respectively!
The number of Greek heavy infantry was replenished to more than 600 men, all armed with the best iron armor, spearhead spearheads, and swords at their waists!
The returning spearmen and junior mercenaries are armed with the remaining weapons, and they can take anything, and they can kill anyway!
The rest of the war coins were recruited by Li Liguo with more than five hundred primordial slingers, and they will be used to operate those Zhuge repeaters!
