Chapter 059: On Paper
Kenny looked at Taylor, who was full of joy, and felt more and more that this good-looking guy should not be Barton's brother-in-law, if the two of them changed identities and locations now, they were in the garrison of the Iron Man Corps, Kenny really wanted to include him in the account immediately, it was undeniable that Taylor's character was really suitable to be the foreign secretary.

"Don't lift me up so high, let's talk about something practical. Kenny said as he walked towards the training infantry phalanx, and Taylor followed.
"Commander Taylor, let's first talk about the issue of flag command, to be honest, this set of things should have been eliminated a long time ago, just imagine, if it is commanded with flag language on the battlefield, as long as the enemy army has an excellent archer to shoot down the flag soldiers, who should the soldiers in the phalanx obey next? Let's talk about the training of the soldiers, they seem to follow the flag language to carry out a variety of training, in fact, it is not as good as the effect of rushing out in a swarm, because the whole team is wrong from the arrangement to the attack, they are too rigid!" Kenny said, pointing to the infantry phalanx in front of him.
"That sounds like some truth, can you make it simpler?" Taylor looked at Kenny as if he didn't understand.
"I haven't finished speaking, the most important reason why they are rigid comes from the assembly problem, almost every one of these soldiers wears spears, swords, shields, armor, it is undeniable that these are indeed the standard equipment of a cavalry, if you meet this group of guys on the battlefield, no one is not afraid of them in terms of appearance and momentum, but these things are too bloated, which will greatly affect their mobility, after all, these guys don't have horses, right?" Kenny smiled at Taylor, his expression a little embarrassed.
"Well, horses are a big problem, but there's no good way to do it right now, and horses are the most scarce strategic material in the Horn Legion. Taylor seemed to pick up the taunt in Kenny's words, but he wasn't angry.
"Let's take a look at the drills on the cavalry side, from the moment we came in until now, this group of cavalry has been practicing solo duels, do they have any other training items besides this daily drill?"
"Of course, they will also do some phalanx charge training. ”
"Commander Taylor, the cavalry regiment is the strongest mobile army on the battlefield of the Horn Legion, you shouldn't train them separately, although they are two arms, they should be one on the battlefield, but it takes a long time to run-in. ”
"Looks like I'm not mistaken, Nikon, you're better than I thought!" Taylor said, looking a little excited.
"Commander Taylor, can you please stop saying anything like that, since you trust me so much, I want to try to change the training content of the infantry phalanx first, maybe it will be more interesting than talking on paper, okay?" Kenny asked Taylor politely.
"Of course, you're already the head instructor of the cavalry regiment, and it's your duty!" Taylor reached out and patted Kenny's arm, his eyes full of sincerity.
The two walked into the huge training ground, a log platform stood at the front of the training ground, Taylor led Kenny up to the high platform, the flag soldiers stopped the flag in their hands and looked at their regiment commander, and the soldiers put down their weapons. Taylor walked to the center of the platform, cleared his throat, and yelled hoarsely.
"Soldiers, this one standing next to me is the new chief instructor of our Horned Cavalry Regiment, Nikon—"
Taylor's voice resounded in the drill ground, and the soldiers below threw curious glances at Kenny, most of them had a little wooden expression, Taylor turned to Kenny and nodded, which seemed to make Kenny come forward and say something.
Kenny took two steps forward, standing on the edge of the high platform and looking down at the three thousand soldiers in front of him, this feeling had not been felt for Kenny for a long time, he suddenly felt like he was standing on the tower of Karta City at this moment, and in front of him were all knights of the Iron Man Legion, Kenny felt a little excited in his heart, and suddenly there was a dry cough from Taylor behind him, which pulled Kenny out of his imagination and into reality.
"Soldiers of the Oxhorn Legion! I am your new chief instructor, my name is Nikon! From today onwards, I will reorganize your formations, tactics, and training subjects! The old traps should hell be! Now, I ask you to divide into three phalanxes as quickly as possible, one phalanx for each thousand, and let me see how long it will take you guys to complete my first order, quick!"
The soldiers looked at Kenny on the stage, and the crowd gradually began to talk quietly, they looked at each other, not knowing how to respond to the sudden order, and for a moment the whole phalanx was in chaos.
"Commander Taylor, as I said, the infantry are too bloated, and we should refine them into more precise units, which will not only improve their mobility, but also increase their proficiency with a single weapon. Kenny said as he looked at the crowd under the high platform.
"Sounds exciting, I really want to see what you can train these soldiers to!" Tyler looked at Kenny with satisfaction.
The cacophony of voices quieted down, and it took a full ten minutes for the group of soldiers to barely divide into three uneven phalanxes.
"Soldiers! From this day onwards, you will train in a phalanx of thousands, forming the strongest phalanx of spears, shields, and auxiliaries in the history of Nippur! When you master the training of large phalanxes, there will also be training in more mobile phalanxes such as hundreds, tens, and so on! This process may be a bit painful, because you will start from scratch! I know that everyone here has shed blood for the Horn Legion! But I want you to remember that this training will make you the strongest weapon and shield of the Horned Cavalry in every battle to come!" Kenny roared in the most passionate of his voice.
"Listen to me clearly! From my left hand, the soldiers of the first phalanx, in addition to your armor and spears, unload their extra weapons! The soldiers of the second phalanx, except for the shields and swords on your backs, remove the extra weapons from your backs!, the soldiers of the third phalanx, remove your extra weapons in addition to your armor and swords!" Kenny's voice echoed through the training ground again.
Hearing Kenny's order, the soldiers walked to the side of the drill ground to unload their weapons, and the crowd began to stir again.
"Commander Taylor, compared with the cavalry, what these infantry lack most on the battlefield is mobility, the advantage of forming a phalanx is that they have a strong frontal attack, and stabilize the battle line with a long frontal offensive, and those superfluous things on their bodies are more restraining them in addition to adding a little momentum. Kenny explained his orders.
"Well, Knight Nikon, I suddenly have a question for you, where did you learn this about warfare? Taylor asked, tilting his head.
