Chapter 16: Supporting Helan
But Hinderson still kept persuading Wayne, and Wayne had to list various possibilities to tell Hinderson that he was not dangerous. In the end, Hinderson was defeated, on the one hand, because Wayne's persuasion worked, and on the other hand, Hinderson felt that it was time for Wayne to meet the world.
The other three were almost hypnotized by the words of mutual concern between the master and the servant.
Wayne asked abruptly
"How many new recruits have the army made recently?"
The three people who played Hatche quickly came to their senses.
"The white-clad regiment only recruited more than 50 people, and could have found more," Balde said. It's just that there are not enough horses, and it takes a lot of time to train cavalry. ”
Beson continued: "I recruited more than 2,000 people, more than 1,000 people from Longi City, more than 800 people from Nolan City, and the remaining 200 people from Aosu City and Menan City. With the addition of more than 500 people, more than 2,500 people were empty. Then, according to your instructions, only about 800 of them were artillerymen, and the rest were used as infantry. ”
Wayne touched his chin and bared his teeth.
"Together with Nolan's original guard of more than 2,000 people, it is all our strength. It may seem like a lot, but we are surrounded by a huge city with a permanent population of 200,000 and a population of 500,000. The most terrible thing is that except for the white-clothed regiment, the others have never been on the battlefield. With the exception of artillery, I am concerned about the combat power of others. And even with the latest technology, armor will not be able to equip everyone in just a few months. ”
Balde added in due time and said.
"Continue to recruit soldiers, you can strengthen the walls of Heran, and in addition to the white-clothed regiment, you can take turns to garrison Heran City, so that you can sharpen and sharpen the army, and also ensure that Heran has enough soldiers. In short, as long as he can drag on in Helan, try to buy more time for Nolan. ”
The crowd nodded.
"If there is anything else to add, I will speak, and if not, I will adjourn the meeting. ”
Wayne was ready to dismiss, after all, there was still a lot of work to be done.
Butler Hinderson told Wayne something to keep an eye on his own safety and left. But Beson stayed, this tall man, now like a girl, his eyes were shaking, as if he had some unspeakable thoughts.
Wayne looked at it, smiled, and thought it was quite interesting, just a few months, and the feelings were so deep.
"Okay, don't act like a little daughter-in-law. Heath is running some business in Longi City, and he can't be separated from there. When you are victorious, you will gather together. ”
Hinderson blushed and argued.
"Whoever misses him, but some of my brethren miss him. Say that no one covers the quilt in the middle of the night, and no one helps to serve the meal and so on, such a big person, still like a child, how to fight, I will go back to teach them a lesson. ”
With that, he walked briskly out of the office. It was because he couldn't stand Wayne's eyes, and that plausible smile seemed to tell him that these were his inner words.
When he walked to the door, he shook his head and complained
"Who misses him. It's not disgusting, I want to be a big man, and I'm panicked. ”
When Beson walked away, Wayne also smiled and shook his head and left the office.
The current Nolan does not have the haze of the pre-war at all, on the contrary, because of the need for a lot of supplies, it has also contributed to the abnormal prosperity. However, if you are careful, you can find that Nolan still has the panic that was unique before the war.
"Are you sure to go, now it is said that Young Master Wayne has a weapon that even a magician can defeat, and this time Nolan will definitely win. A woman holding a one-and-a-half-year-old child in her arms said to the man sitting in a chair in front of her.
"Go, go, you woman, what do you know. If you think about it, if we lose, we'll run away. If we win, we'll come back. It's just that it's a little far to go to my cousin's house, so I walk a little more. ”
The woman thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she quickly put down the child and went into the house to pack her clothes and pack some useful luggage.
If you first look at this group of people, you will think that this group of people is quite unreasonable. When he was in peace, he wanted to make money in Nolan and run away as soon as he fought.
But a few days ago, the family bought the war securities issued by Nolan City, and finally the man said, "I haven't made much money in Nolan all these years, and this time I will give Nolan an explanation." After saying that, he burned the securities he bought for 5 gold coins.
The truth of the world is that there is black in white, and there is white in black. In the end, it is mixed up to form this gray world.
However, there are still a few people like Nolan who have relatives to take refuge in, and the vast majority of people have been here for generations. Stuyard will not flee unless he is under the city gates. This group of people is also the main force that Wayne wants to mobilize.
Artillery battalion.
Walker is a native of Nolan City, and he is the second oldest in the family. His father was a tavern owner in Nolan, and his eldest brother had a small business. The family had been rooted in Nolan for generations, so my father wanted Nolan to resist Stuart's attack. That's why Walker is here.
At first, Walker thought the barracks was fresh, with more peers, white knights on horses, and instructors bending branches to give lectures to soldiers. And the meaty food, which makes my mouth water just thinking about it. What's more important is the cannon that the instructor said, the sound is louder than thunder on a rainy day, and when you hear it, this is the weapon that Lord Wayne used to defeat the magician. There was a light in their eyes, and they all wanted to go up and touch it once or twice, but they were all stopped by the chief.
Then Walker felt that life in the barracks was not comfortable, and he had to stand straight under the sun every day. And running five kilometers from the barracks with a stone on his back, and then running back, if it weren't for the cloth shoes issued by the army, which were sewn in several layers, Walker would not have just had one or two blisters on his feet.
And every day the commander will take the recruits to see the artillery fire, saying what is suitable for the artillery, so as not to be in a hurry on the battlefield in the future. Walker didn't quite understand what the commander meant, but he wasn't very afraid of artillery after listening to it a few times.
On top of that, every night, torches were lit and a dozen people gathered around to listen to some of the veterans' lectures.
Walker was very interested in this, he used to always help his father settle accounts, and the others listened to some formula, parabola. Walker listened to it with relish, and every time he had his spare time, he pondered it, and the more he pondered, the more interesting it became.
So not long ago, Walker was one of the three hundred people who were selected from among the recruits to be artillerymen, which made Walker happy for a long time. After all, I heard the commander say that the artillery will operate the artillery in the future. Imagine what boy wouldn't want to manipulate the king of war.
Later, Walker further learned about the army's rank system, and knew that the uncle who used to serve soup to him every day turned out to be the battalion commander, and I heard that he had recently been promoted to regiment commander. This made Walker excited for a long time, and there was still a warm feeling in his heart.
During Walker's time, he also listened to Lord Wayne give him a night class, and watched those wonderful theorems and formulas that Wayne talked about on stage. Walker felt that he had lived in vain, because he had learned so much in the barracks.
Of course, Master Wayne doesn't just talk about those formulas, he also talks about the meaning of the army, the honor of soldiers, and so on. The most impressive sentence for Walker was
"You are Nolan's first and last line of defense. Behind you is not the so-called Lord Wayne, but your parents, brothers, thousands of Nolans. ”
Walker clearly remembered that the soldiers in the audience were boiling, and the applause rang out for a long time and refused to stop.
Still, Walker felt that it was both for Nolan and Lord Wayne.
It's still good for the army, you can learn a lot, and the commander doesn't have the shelves of those officials outside, it's good!
After thinking about it, Walker fell asleep, after all, training was still tiring.
