10. Reorganization of the armed forces
With the influx of people, there are more people from all walks of life, such as winemaking, tailoring, weaving, ironmaking, building, etc., which have led to the prosperity of commerce in the territory and increased many jobs. But reclamation was still a top priority for Lixi, and nearly two-thirds of his labor force was frantically developing the farmland, for their own wealth, and for the future of the empire.
The time of April is almost over, and thousands of acres of newly cultivated land have been planted with corn and other vegetables and fruits, but the prepared food is still not enough to support all the consumption, and Li Xi has no choice but to restrict the food for the new immigrants, and if it were not for the newly built fishing ports in the big towns, life may be even more difficult. But the inhabitants did not complain much, and since the impassioned speech of His Majesty the great Richie, everyone has been fighting for the revival of the empire.
A large number of young people in the prime of life will participate in the training camp every evening, and the town barracks are full of noisy training from morning to night, and everyone hopes to become a qualified soldier and serve the country with honor. After the elimination of the militia brigade, the official strength of the army was only 80 spear sergeants, 80 javelin sergeants and 40 general guards (200/640). Due to the inability to keep up with the progress of recruit training, Li Xi had to arrange the only main force in the northernmost border military town, and many guard towers were built around it for guarding, and the whole town has become a bridgehead against the enemy.
The small town of Rashid, still called Rashid, is surrounded by a large area of dense forest and a converted pasture, which is ideal for animal husbandry, hunting and timber harvesting. There are also several iron mines around the town, and although the quality is still not high, the production has increased a lot, so the town has become a center for livestock, timber and ore resources.
The big towns, which have been renamed the towns of the other side, are the centers of economy and agriculture, and of course the handicraft industry has developed rapidly. In the southeastern mountains, stone was mined to repair buildings, and other coal mines and copper mines were excavated under the guidance of Otero. Piles of supplies began to accumulate in warehouses, quickly converted into weapons and protective gear, arming militia brigades.
In this busy week, the whole focus was on military construction, after a period of intensive assault training, 1,600 militiamen have reached the black iron two stars, the equipment has been completely replaced, and a militia cavalry support unit of 200 people has been set up. This is also due to the training methods and effects of the town barracks, in fact, to put it bluntly, just like in the game, the more advanced the building, the greater the buff provided. In reality, the scientificity, rationality, and practicability of the training methods have been greatly improved. The same effects and effects are also reflected in each building, but the effect transformation is more realistic, not as exaggerated as in the game.
The militia team formed this time is divided into three, three, and four groups, and is the three captains of the spear sergeant (pseudo), the three major groups of javelin sergeants (pseudo), and the four major groups of archers (pseudo), which can be seen that Li Xi's purpose of forming an army is mainly long-range, although it is not easy to train archers, but the quality of the population provided by the system is still very high, which can be understood as a talent bonus, and the effect of training is more handy. Although it did not reach the quality of a regular sergeant, its discipline, training, morale, and endurance were much better than that of the militia, and the demeanor of a soldier was already vaguely seen. All this made Li Xi, who had worked hard for a week, extremely satisfied, and he was not busy in vain!
But in the past two days, Patos has sent several alarms in a row, and there have been many nezumi scouts on the border, although there have been no large-scale clashes, but there have been several small-scale engagements. From this point, it can be seen that Sadoron is not a turtle like Rashid, and his constant reconnaissance and exploration, understanding the enemy's military strength, and surveying favorable terrain fully reflect their combat qualities. It's just that in terms of the combat power of the scouts, it is still our sergeants who have the advantage, and the enemy's main combat power is still the black iron star, and I haven't seen bronze-level warriors, but they are all wearing uniform standard equipment, but they are a little shabby.
The pressure ahead is getting bigger and bigger, and Li Xi is getting more and more nervous. Unlike the grass-like opponents, the battle with the regular army made Li Xi really bottomless in his heart. This is a large-scale battle, Li Xi's area is basically a plain area, although the area is 300 square kilometers, but there are actually only 3 towns, the goal is very obvious, there is not enough strategic depth to play any division and encirclement, except for a hard blow to defeat, there is no way to delay. If you want to defend the city, in addition to the earthen wall and the newly repaired stone wall in the other town, the other two towns are just flat walls that have just been stacked, and they can't drag on for long, and most of the farmland is outside the city, and there is no autumn harvest of grain, even if it is pointless.
The grim form made Li Xi under great pressure, although he had made full preparations for war, but the troops were still insufficient, Li Xi didn't want to give up the new town, it was too difficult to open up a place for people to survive on this land, and the reward given by the system was all the facilities and area, and his new construction could only start from the village, Li Xi couldn't afford such a big loss.
The army is ready to set off, but Li Xi, who lacks military literacy, only feels that he is lost at a crossroads, he doesn't know which way to go, all hopes are pressed on him like a burden, he doesn't dare to choose, he can't be wrong.
"Your Majesty, the whole army is assembled! Waiting for your instructions!" the new Laques replaced Patos as the officer of this army, he was passionate, he was full of enthusiasm, and in his heart, Li Xi was the god in his heart, leading them to glory.
Li Xi was emotional, and when he looked at the thousands of neatly prepared subordinates, he was enthusiastic, and he was going to Tamar's troubles and losses! Isn't it just fighting? Lao Tzu will knock you to death! He is willing to cut his whole body and dare to pull the emperor off the horse! I am afraid that he will be a ball!
"Go, kill!" roared loudly, signaling the outbreak of war.
"Yes!Kill!" replied loudly, heralding the beginning of conquest.
......
The station of the first army of Sadoron, General Monte was listening to the report of his subordinates, his brows were tightly knit, he did not agree with the tentative attack, he believed in the speed of the soldiers, or if he didn't fight, he would be killed with one blow, and the news he got also confirmed his idea, the human beings on the opposite side did not have much terrain to defend, and the open area was very suitable for the rapid action of the rat people, except for a lonely town, there were no other facilities within a radius of more than 10 kilometers. Even if the strength of the guards is strong, the 2,000 troops of the First Legion are not vegetarians, and if it weren't for that damn Asqi, his exploits would have been recorded long ago!
Thinking of this, Monte couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and his mouth began to curse. As the first general with brilliant military achievements, Monte is proud, he doesn't care about the jealousy of others, thinking that it is a compliment to him, but he can't stand the leadership of idiots! The Asqi who relied on nepotism to ascend to the throne will do nothing but pat himself on the back all day long! How long has he been incorporated into Sadolon! It is completely by relying on his sister's appearance to win the favor of the chief! And the originally wise chief was also dazzled by beauty, and actually let him sit on the high position of the governor, they are all a group of loyal and treacherous bastards!
Originally, these had caused everyone's dissatisfaction, but Asqi did not get too involved in military affairs, and respected the generals of various legions, and would give bribes from time to time, and in the end, except for Monte, everyone else acquiesced to his status and got along well.
I don't know what kind of shit luck Asqi had, but he actually let him catch Rashid's messenger, and after torture, he reported the news to the chief, and the dragon heart was happy to hand over this task to him, so now the first and second legions are under his control, I really don't know what is going on in his pig's head, so he arranged the temptation to delay for a week.
I was aggrieved but I could only accept orders, and I was tired of mentioning how tired it was, and the soldiers under his command were not surprised, everyone knew that the boss and the governor were not on the right path, anyway, they were all carrying out orders, so they didn't bother to care about anything else.
At this time, in the camp in the rear, in the big tent of the Third Legion, Asqi was holding a few rat-man beauties in his arms, enjoying himself all day long.
"Front-line military newspaper!" The sound of the guards outside the door did not interrupt his pleasure, and Asqi, who had a refreshed face, lay sideways, listening to the report of his subordinates casually.
"This Monte is also annoying enough, one day at a time, who is the main general. Go back and tell him that he just needs to keep the camp. I have my own arrangements. Let's go down. ”
"Yes, General!" the guard who hadn't stood for a moment retreated, and he was still addicted to Bohai's fat buttocks.
At the time of the internal contradictions of the opponent, Li Xi was leading the army to the border military town. On the endless desolate road, Li Xi's enthusiasm subsided, and sure enough, his impulse was the devil! Now there is not a single soldier in the town on the other side, if someone sneaks up on me, who will I cry to! Looking at a group of high-spirited guys, how can they all be brainless war maniacs! Lao Pa! I need you!
Li Xi, who was constantly complaining, was still not worried about the defense of the town, and when he was struggling with whether to send someone back, his clogged brain finally opened up! Lao Tzu can exchange troops! Am I really stupid? Isn't my IQ following the crossing?
Annoyed, Li Xi wanted to stab himself to death, 3550's merit value became an ornament, this is how brain-dead it takes to forget this? Fortunately, no one knows, otherwise it will be a loss of face.
Without thinking too much, Li Xi exchanged 1600 Black Iron Tristar troops in one go, and the merit value was only 350 points. A total of 640 archer militia, 480 spear militia and 480 javelin militia, still in three, three, four configurations, will be able to reach the other side early tomorrow morning. It doesn't matter if you don't have enough sergeant equipment, the strength of the Black Iron Three Star is a guarantee. In this way, the security of the territory is also guaranteed, and there are enough reserve troops to replenish it.
The pressure that tortured him dissipated at once, and Li Xi, who sighed for a long time, relaxed his whole body. Without worries, Li Xi can relax and deal with the imminent outbreak of war. At the same time, he also understood more deeply that only calm thinking is the best way to solve difficulties.
