157: Hiding soldiers from the people
When Jessica returned to Flying City, the remaining musket companies in Flying City had already assembled, and the two spear companies were also neatly assembled in the barracks under the city gate.
When Aslan left, he left two spear battalions, Feiyun City was located on the border, and directly transferred a spear battalion of soldiers, and Feihu Port sent two spear companies, after all, there were too many caravans to and fro, and enough troops were needed to maintain order and law and order, but the town of Piltandin was too deserted, and in order to save troops, a reserve battalion was directly sent.
Therefore, there are only these two spear companies left in the city, these are the pikemen who have been transformed by the construction corps, although the combat effectiveness is not as good as the swordsman battalion, but after the training of that barracks, it is also an elite unit for other lords.
"What do you think we should do when the enemy is coming?" shouted Jessica, as she stepped down from her horse.
"Defend your homeland to the death!" the musket company soldier was the first to react, raising the musket in his hand and shouting.
Not to be outdone, the soldiers of the spear company raised their hands to know the spear, they are not even a reserve in Flying City, and now they are also one of the few military forces in Flying City, and now the prosperous and rich life brought by Flying City makes every citizen of Flying City fall in love with this city.
Especially in Aslan Consciously, these soldiers don't want to be as ignorant as other lord soldiers, they know what they are fighting for, what soldiers are, no, they are not called soldiers now, they have a new name in Flying City.
That's the military.
The mission of soldiers is to protect the interests of the country and the people from being violated, and they no longer fight for the individual, let alone for the meager salary.
Jessica nodded, pulled out the sword in her hand, and held it up to the city not far from the barracks.
"There are our families there, and there are our parents and relatives, if even we retreat, who will protect them, please remember the epaulettes on your shoulders, we are a soldier. ”
All the soldiers subconsciously looked at the epaulettes on their right shoulders, where the pattern of wings and swords was embroidered, plus three large striking characters.
Flying Army!
"Long live the Flying Army!"
"Long live the Flying Army!"
When the cheers were over, Jessica walked out of the barracks with the army just in time to see hundreds of men in improvised leather armor and armed with rudimentary weapons running up.
They are not the enemy's internal response, but the reserve soldiers of Flying City.
Aslan issued a compulsory reserve when the city was being rebuilt.
That's right, on the compulsory military reserve, each soldier who participates in a year of reserve training can get a house of 100 square meters in Feitian City after retiring, and there is no need for them to pay rent, nor do they need to pay for building a house, for most of the poor people, to be able to live in such a gorgeous and simple house, only need to serve one year of reserve training, and when retired, they can also get twenty silver coins retirement gold.
The most important thing is that during the service, the food is all in the care of the city lord, and the only thing they have to do is training.
Such a good thing was just posted at the beginning, and not only Feitian City, but all the people in the towns under its rule responded to this conscription boom.
Three towns plus a port, there are more than 300,000 people, and in less than a day, nearly 30,000 young people responded, which is almost two-thirds of the young people in the entire Flying Sky City.
Would Aslan do such a stupid thing? During the service, the most crucial thing was not military training, but brainwashing.
Teach these future soldiers about their duty, their honor, and their belief in surrounding their homeland. Coupled with the transcendent status of the current military in Flying City, this kind of brainwashing is naturally very successful, eight of the more than ten men in Flying City aspire to become soldiers, and the remaining two are either idiots or old people.
The year-long brainwashing has had a very significant effect, and the military camp here has just shouted that it swears to surround its homeland, and the nearest people heard it, and when they went back, many retired soldiers who had participated in reserve training rushed over with the weapons they had collected at home.
Just because they are soldiers, members of the Flying Army.
Jessica looked at the barracks in amazement, and after a while, thousands of reservists had gathered.
"Captain Jessica, if there is an enemy attacking, please let us follow you into battle. A man who had been an officer in the reserve army stepped forward and asked.
Jessica glanced at the other party, the other party should have been an active soldier, but he was limping when he walked, because he was sent to the reserve as an instructor after being injured, but the reserve officer rotated every six months, and now he is rotating to rest.
Jessica tried to refuse, but the reserve officer took a step forward, her right fist clenched against her chest, struggling to straighten her deformed leg.
"Now that the lord of the city is leading the main force away, the army in the city is seriously insufficient, or our combat strength is not as good as the active army, but we also hope to contribute to the defense of our homeland, even if we die in battle. ”
The officer said this, subconsciously glanced at his majestic subordinates, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly.
"Because we are also soldiers, soldiers of Flying City. ”
This shout caused all the reservists behind the officer to give a shoulder hug in unison.
The scene was silent, originally Jessica was still laughing at Aslan for wasting money, but now it seems that the person who should be ridiculed should be her, and at this time Jessica understood a word that Aslan had been on his lips at the beginning.
Hiding soldiers from the people.
Jessica was stunned, and soon thousands of reservists arrived.
"The whole army obeys the order and attacks!" Originally, Jessica also planned to use the advantage of the city wall to fight a defensive battle with the enemy, but now with more than 2,000 reserve soldiers joining, plus the soldiers from all over the country who are rushing to support, several times the enemy, naturally there is no need to defend the city.
Defend the enemy from the borders of the country.
This is the idea that Aslan implements to every officer of the Flying Army, if the conditions allow, there must be no war in the territory, no matter what the final victory or defeat is, the final loss is still the Flying City.
Nearly 3,000 soldiers marched from Flying City, and at the same time, the army of Flying Lake Harbor joined up with the reserve army of Piltantine Town, and went directly to the back of the Avada army.
It's just that in the Flying Lake Harbor army, there are two hundred more elven archers.
In this battle, they only need to shoot arrows in the back to support, this is Jessica's message to Anning.
When Avada's army came to a plain less than 100 miles away from Feitian City, he happened to see the Feitian army lined up in front of him.
There are not many people, as long as there are three hundred people in the phalanx, the military column is neat, the armor on the body and the weapons in the hands are shining, obviously only a hundred people, but they have the momentum of thousands of troops, so that many soldiers in Hongfeng Town, who were originally walking in front, couldn't help but stop.
Aohuada looked at the elite troops in front of him, and then looked at the chaotic group of soldiers in Red Maple Town under him, his eyes were full of jealousy and resentment, why are all good things Aslan.
Today he is going to destroy the Flying City that Aslan has created.
