333 The expansion of the army is completed
Of the 10,000 newly recruited soldiers, in addition to 1,500 to form the Third Regiment of the Storm Army, there were 8,500 left, and Duke directly assigned 5,000 people to form the Storm Army Logistics Corps, with Goodman still serving as the commander of the Logistics Corps.
Because once the army reaches a number, the pressure on logistics will increase exponentially, and even in the case of expeditions, it takes three logistics soldiers or civilians to supply the supply of one soldier, which is also a common way to match in the era of cold weapons.
In the past, the Storm Army tried to fight within a range of 100 kilometers, or directly defended the Storm Fort, so the pressure on logistics was not very great. However, with this expansion, the strength of the Storm Army will increase exponentially, so Duke's target will naturally not be placed within a hundred miles of Storm Castle.
There are more powerful enemies in this world, and there are more expansive skies waiting for the Storm Army to conquer, it is not Duke's style to sit and watch the sky, he must build a sophisticated logistics force, and when the time comes, he will command and cooperate with the temporarily recruited people, in order to surpass the professional logistics strength of this era, and reach any corner of the Europa continent!
At the same time, in order to avoid financial pressure, the Storm Fort Logistics Army will not be equipped with armor in the short term, and the training intensity will be lower than that of the main soldiers.
Of course, they will also have holidays that the main soldiers do not have, and Duke will give them three days a month to spend with their families, and even extra holidays during the holidays. If they perform well, they will also get a chance to enter the main Storm Army.
The remaining 3,500 people were all incorporated into the new corps, and the training of these 3,500 people was even lower than that of the logistics army, which was almost a half-army and half-civilian way. Every year, only three months of professional military training are required in the free time of the winter break, and the rest of the time will be able to do anything like ordinary people.
And during the three months of military training, Duke will also give them additional training subsidies, which is equivalent to an extra income during the winter break, and can also greatly increase their enthusiasm. Those who are conspicuous and have strong military skills will also get the opportunity to join the Storm Army directly.
After this expansion, Storm Fortress will also have a complete three-level combat readiness, that is, the state of the main army - logistics army - reserve.
The establishment of the new regiment also belongs to the scale of the super-reinforced regiment, and it is still held by the previous regiment commander Hidorman. However, due to the fact that the personnel are really overstaffed, Hiddoman will also enjoy the rank and treatment of the military commander, and even in the future, as the number of people in Storm Castle increases, Duke will increase the number of recruits to 5,000.
After the matter of the new corps is completed, the Storm Army Human Legion can be regarded as officially expanding the army, and the next step is the comprehensive military training stage.
In addition to the Storm Army Human Legion, the Dwarven Legion of Storm Castle has also undergone an intense expansion. Because of the addition of the Rock Tribe, the previous title of the Hammer Tribe will also become a thing of the past, replaced by the unified name of the Storm Castle Dwarf Tribe, and Dwarf City will also be renamed Storm Territory Dwarf City.
At the same time, the expansion of 10,000 dwarves also expanded the number of dwarven legions, and the hammer directly absorbed the dwarven warriors of the rock tribe, plus the dwarven soldiers of other small tribes, and directly expanded the number of soldiers of the dwarf legion to the scale of 3,000 people, and organized them into the first dwarf regiment and the second dwarf regiment of the storm army, with the hammer and rock as the commanders respectively.
In addition, the number of war sheep has surged, so that the dwarven cavalry force has finally recovered, and it has also expanded rapidly. Coupled with the remaining hundreds of war sheep cavalry before, this time Duke was filled with 1,500 people, and a new war sheep cavalry regiment was directly formed.
The commander of the War Sheep Cavalry Regiment was a dwarf called Charcoal. This dwarf is a former chief knight of the Rock Tribe, has plenty of experience leading cavalry, and does not have the impulsiveness and irritability of ordinary dwarves, making him very suitable as a leader.
And this War Sheep Cavalry Regiment, together with the first and second regiments of the Dwarves of the Storm Army, was unified into the First Army of the Dwarves of the Storm Army, and Iron Hammer was also the commander of the legion. Therefore, the number of soldiers of the dwarven legion will also reach the base of 4,500 equal to the human race.
Of course, the dwarves are a race where all the people are soldiers, and Duke is not willing to waste their combat power to select any logistics regiment. Taking a step back, almost all of the strong men of the dwarves have already been incorporated into the combat unit, and there is no logistics regiment at all, unless the old and weak women and children are also put on the battlefield.
Naturally, Duke can't do this kind of thing, so in the future, the logistics of the dwarf legion will also be handed over to the human race. And Duke repeatedly told Hammer to find a way to recruit as many dwarves as possible to join Stormcastle. The eyes are not necessarily just on the Saint-Michel Mountains, they can be placed anywhere on the continent, even on the Alpine plateau, the current dwarven territory on the continent, anyway, as long as it is where the dwarves live, they can find a way to absorb it.
After all, the dwarf base of Stormcastle is still very problematic and cannot withstand the attrition of war, and in the era of cold weapons, the population base is almost a decisive factor in the potential of war. If there is no one, there will be nothing.
In addition to the Dwarven Legion, Duke has another very important thing, and that is to build the human cavalry regiment of Stormcastle.
Although the Dwarven War Sheep Legion is strong, their height defect is too big, and tall horses are not an adjective, they also represent strong combat effectiveness. The war sheep is not small, and the bounce power is amazing, and there is no problem when facing the human infantry.
But once faced with human cavalry, or tall sea tribes and ice demons, the disadvantages of the war sheep cavalry began to come to the fore. Only by jumping up can the war sheep attack the opponent's head and other important parts, but once it jumps, it is likely to lose the huge impact brought by the previous charge.
You must know that the reason why the cavalry troops are strong is that they have an unparalleled charging power, which pierces into the enemy's camp like an ordinary sharp knife! In addition, the weight of the war sheep is really limited, and it is already the limit to bear a heavy dwarf, and if you want to have a full body of battle armor, it can hardly bounce, so the war sheep cavalry can only be regarded as light cavalry.
For melee breakthroughs, the best use is heavy cavalry, which also has an advantage in war horses. What's more, this world also has a powerful Warcraft War Horse, and even this kind of War Horse is the standard configuration of the Holy See Shantang Cavalry Regiment.
This cavalry regiment is the earliest, the most qualified, the least numerous, and the most powerful cavalry regiment in the Holy See. Heavy cavalry is like tanks in a sense, although there are many limitations, but once they charge, they will be unstoppable!
