Chapter 396: Battle Meeting (Part II)
As for the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, Von Rond was just as worried about them as Yarman. Cavalry has always been more difficult to train than infantry, not to mention the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers who write Rangers read as heavy cavalry, in a sense these guys have the fighting style of both light cavalry and heavy cavalry, except that they are not as good as knights as heavy cavalry but better as light cavalry, and they are not inferior in dismounted foot combat, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, they are no worse than ordinary Boghall soldiers or Acropolis legionnaires, or even surpass them.
The Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers don't need to worry about their combat effectiveness, and the main problem is the situation of their full recruits: the other two newly formed companies in the Boghall district team will not have problems with the other two veteran companies, and the five detachments of the Acropolis legionnaires will not have any major problems in the case of the Boghall district team working together, but the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, who have neither their own flag veterans nor veterans from other units to fight together, are worth paying attention to
As for whether it was a lack of consideration to let the cavalry hide and attack in the forest, Feng Longde didn't think so: needless to say, the King's Guard was all black knights on undead horses, and marching and charging in the forest was not much different from that on the plains, and the super mobility of the undead horses in most terrain completely solved this problem, and they were also very good at stealing, especially with the help of the Lich Mages who were in charge of monitoring the Wanderers of the Revenant, and the same was true for the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, whose main combat mission was to run long distances, flanking, chasing retreating and routing enemies, and attacking the enemy's light infantry units, they have also been trained in how to march, lurk and fight in various terrains and terrains for such a long time, and their overall ability may be affected by marching and fighting in the forests and mountains, but they will not completely lose their combat effectiveness like ordinary cavalry units that enter the forests and mountains and are completely stupid.
"It was decided, the King's Guard and the Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger Banner would be lurking in the forest in advance, and the Lich Mages who were tasked with monitoring the Revenant Rangers would need to keep them informed so that they would not be detected by the enemy. Feng Longde knocked on the table, I don't know when he would subconsciously make this action whenever he wanted to make his own decision when discussing important matters.
"Your Majesty, what about the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers? You also said that they are all new recruits, and even the captain of the flag is a half-grown boy with no hair, if you rashly let them take on this combat mission" After hearing Feng Longde's decision, Yarman's rare and rigid face showed an anxious expression, and he thought that his immortal king intended to ignore this issue.
"The Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger Flag Team is easy to do, and it's fairly simple to solve this problem. Feng Longde still had his usual stiff expression, which did not change much, and said lightly: "The Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers are personally led and commanded by me, and Yarman, as the captain of the King's Guard, you are responsible for leading the King's Guard, finding a place to lurk in the forest, and then launching an attack according to my signals." ”
Von Ronde's decision didn't cause much of a stir for the people in the Teutonic camp here, after all, the undead king had always personally participated in the battle, and at the same time, he would not delay the overall strategic level of command, even if he forgot about it in the heat of battle, Caroline would take the command in place of her brother, and there was nothing to worry about.
However, for Weisk and other Feng Longde's sworn friends, although this is not a bolt from the blue, it is not much worse, even if they have learned in their lives during this period of time what kind of personal strength their friends are like: in the ever-changing battlefield and you are dying, even how powerful an individual is, it is possible to hate the battlefield for various reasons, not to mention Feng Longde, who is still at the level of the soul heart at the moment, God knows how he will die if there is a moth, this is not a small thing that anyone can say。
"Lao He, are you too much" Weisk just opened his mouth to make Feng Longde think about it carefully, but was stopped by the latter raising his hand: "Old Wei, you don't have to persuade me, don't worry, I know very well what I'm doing - I have participated in two battles, and I have also fought with a few supernatural girls in Gensokyo, so I naturally know what kind of risks there are in participating in the battle"
"Then why do you want to"
"Old Wei. Facing Weisk, who still wanted to try to persuade him a few words, Feng Longde suddenly smiled, interrupted him and asked, "Do you know what the Immortal King means?"
"What does the Immortal King mean? Lao He, what do you mean?" Weiske was a little confused when Feng Longde interrupted him like this, but he was soon puzzled by the question raised by his dead friend, "Isn't the Immortal King your Qiongmei and your subordinates' honorific title for you? It's just that your Qiongmei basically calls you brother, and isn't the Immortal King the supreme ruler of the Teutonic Empire?"
"Ha, Lao Wei, I feel that you don't understand what I want to ask. Feng Longde shook his head, combed his question again, and asked again: "I mean, what do you think the name of the Immortal King, or identity, represents?"
"What does the Immortal King represent?" Weisk rubbed the flesh on the back of his neck, thought about it carefully, and replied in an uncertain tone, "The supreme ruler of the Teutonic Empire, the spiritual leader of the Teutonic people, the supreme leader of the ********, or the king who will never die in a literal sense?"
"You're just saying the most superficial thing, Old Wei, but that's not the precise meaning of an immortal king. Feng Longde shook his head lightly again, and then turned his gaze to Caroline, who was sitting next to him and barely speaking, just sitting quietly with her hands on the skirt armor covering the surface of her thighs, " I remember not so long ago, when I learned that I was the undead king of the Teutonic Empire, and the first undead king of the Teutonic Empire, Hermann Duwakin Ronald, although I still wonder if I was the Herman, but I remember very well that I once asked Caroline this question occasionally in my daily life, and she answered, didn't I?
"Yes, my brother, you asked me this question, and I gave you the same answer. Caroline replied softly, as if a delicate life-size doll had suddenly spoken, startling those present who hadn't seen Caroline too often.
"Then Caroline, I asked this question to Old Wei, and he obviously still has some doubts, so you can tell him the answer to this question. Feng Longde spoke.
"Yes, my brother. Caroline nodded, then turned her gaze away from Von Rond to Weiske's eyes.
"The meaning of the immortal king is that when there is an unavoidable and irresistible danger, he will rush to the front, the front of everyone. When she said this, Caroline's originally emotionless tone sounded full of nostalgia.
Caroline's answer caused all the lich mages, guard knights, and necro technicians present to nod their heads, their eyes also full of nostalgia and respect, but Weiske, Richard, and Lilia felt quite incredulous when they heard Caroline's answer: is this the supreme undead king who controls everyone's life and death as described from von Rond and Caroline's mouths in the past, why does it sound more like a bodyguard, or is it a simple warrior?
"Maybe you're wondering why the Immortal King doesn't sound so unsuitable for the status of a ruler or a superior person?" Looking at the bewildered look on the faces of Weisk and the others after hearing Caroli's answer, Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, "But this is the habit and cognition of the Teutons: the more high-ranking a person is, especially a military leader, he must take the lead, otherwise he is not qualified to be in a high position, and he is not qualified to lead everyone." ”
"Uh, Your Majesty King B, isn't this in line with the noble status of the Immortal King? Since ancient times, how can a king or emperor frequently go to the battlefield in person to lead the army to kill the enemy?" Before Weisk and the others could hear something from Feng Longde's words, Zhu Henghong stood up again and asked his own questions.
"Hehe, there are quite a lot of relevant examples in history, even in this era of human civilization, there are countless countless, I will not list them all. Feng Longde smiled and looked at Zhu Henghong, this young Chinese man is now gradually adapting to the habits and cognition of the Teutons, but in many ways he is obviously very affected by the previous established impressions, "Zhu Henghong, do you know that modern human beings have a sentence to describe the Ming Dynasty, do you know which sentence it is?"
"Your Majesty, I'm not particularly familiar with history" Zhu Henghong scratched his hair, and the others present also looked at Feng Longde curiously, wanting to know what that sentence was.
"'The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. And it was the last emperor of the Byzantine Empire, Constantine XI Palaiologos, who realized that Byzantium was about to fall, and when Constantinople was about to fall, he drew his sword and rushed at the swarming Ottoman army, and died a glorious death. Feng Longde replied lightly, and then his face turned straight: "Maybe some people will say pedantic, maybe some people will say stupid, maybe some people will stand on the commanding heights of God's perspective and bring out a lot of historical data and data to prove that this sentence is actually not a big deal, but as a person in power, then you must fulfill your responsibilities while enjoying your rights, people who have no bottom line may succeed, maybe they will survive, but they don't think there will be any good results - if a country, If a nation or a person does not enjoy the concept of rights and must fulfill their responsibilities and the corresponding integrity, then it is not far from burping and being completely forgotten, there are too many examples in history, and there are many people who talk nonsense with their eyes open or refuse to admit it in these years, and I am also hehe. ”
"So, Lao He, as an immortal king, since you want to start a war, you must go into battle and kill the enemy yourself," Weisk muttered, not knowing what he was thinking of at this moment.
"Well, Lao He, although that is the case, it seems that there is no need for you to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, right? You can completely let your troops do the work for you? As for leaving your arms on your own?" Li Chard said, he personally felt that Feng Longde was still a little inconsiderate about doing this.
"If the battlefield is not allowed to be used by elite troops, is it possible to let all ordinary soldiers go? Then are the militaries of all countries stupid now, if they fight a war, they will directly recruit a large group of blind streams to fight the most unskilled weapons with spears and broadswords? The more powerful the troops or individuals, the more they need to go to the battlefield, at most they are not like ordinary troops who fight the enemy all the time, but they must play a positive role at the critical moment of the battle and become the mainstay in the tough battle, otherwise do you think that forming an elite army is to be a good-looking honor guard? Just like playing Medieval II: Total War, when you produce those maintenance-free troops, you can look at simple armor?"
I have to say that Feng Longde has always understood things very correctly and complained sharply, anyway, Richard is shrugging his head: Feng Longde is really right, Richard's understanding of this aspect is indeed like playing "Medieval II: Total War" for too long But Richard is not alone, but anyone who has played too many games and has not been exposed to real military things, or whose understanding of military affairs is limited to stall literature and online novels is basically the same, but Richard is sensible, and he knows that he is wrong and will humbly learn what is right, and those people don't do anything except spew feces and try to lower everyone's IQ and knowledge level to the same level
"Lao Wei, Lao Li, Lao Xie, when the time comes, you should watch the battlefield and experience what a real war is like. Feng Longde nodded lightly to Weisk and the others, and then turned his gaze back to the people present, " Some of you who are now attending this battle meeting have indeed seen me fight with knights and soldiers, while others who have attended this battle meeting for the first time or have not seen me on the battlefield will be skeptical of my words, but I am sure that whether or not I am the Herman that Caroline has always insisted on, the legendary first immortal king, I will always say: 'Rush with me' instead of 'give me up' because I am an undead king and must be at the front of everyone. ”
After Feng Longde said this, everyone in the audience was silent for a moment, and then they all stood up and gave him a solemn Teutonic military salute in unison. (To be continued.) )
