In addition, Egil also appointed the Hungarian who had charged with him in the second battle of Budapest, which also gave Egil a nice surprise. Joseph. The son of a small Hungarian tribal chieftain proved to be a very good hussar general: his talent was not as good as Hans, who had to go to great lengths to exchange bonds from the system in Egil. Enskar, under General Qiteng.

In terms of age, General Qi Teng is over forty years old. Although the half-old general still shouted: "Death will not leave the hussars"; It's going to be a lifelong battle." But the fact is that this guy will reach retirement age in another twenty years: and all the functions of his body have begun to decline. Joseph is different, the young man is twenty-two years old, and he is in the prime of his life: and there is room for improvement in the future: above all, he is extremely loyal to Egil and extremely adored. Such generals are really hard to find with lanterns

His command was also an elite of 4,000 men, and its strength was equal to that of General Qi Teng, with 2,000 melee cavalry and 2,000 long-range light archers. The number was the 3rd Hussar Corps, which was stationed in Novosibirsk and was responsible for garrisoning, attacking, and even attacking the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

One of the benefits of Egil's superiority in Eastern Europe was that Egil was able to assemble such a large number of light cavalry troops, as long as he had enough money (the Shining Watermark) to recruit a sufficient number of well-armed light cavalry. With a little training and discipline, the nomads could become good hussars.

Melee hussars, as well as light archers, were also the product of this military reform: in previous wars, Egil had experimented with a mix of Finnish hussars for melee use and long-range professional hussars. The end result was very good, and in the end, after much deliberation and repeated conversations with the commander of the hussars. In the end, the following decision was made

All the hussars under his command, all the nomadic tribes, those from Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, Tatars, Cumens, Turkey, Finland, and Slavs. And so on, and so on, and so on, and the people of various tribes were mixed, and they became independent from their tribes and became military households.

Among them, the data of melee cavalry is as follows:

Melee cavalry, Wa clans, various nomadic tribes (Of course, soldiers who speak the Tonghe language are often assigned to a unit for ease of command.) Commanders of the 1,000-man squad are equipped with interpreters who are fluent in Slavic, Saddle and Turkish. Equipment: Norman Warhorse No. 3 (fast, nimble, and good stamina, but low weight and weak impact), Modified Machete, Composite Cavalry Shield, Modified Cavalry Armor (thickened, composite double-layer cowhide armor. Add heart goggles to the heart area) Skull Mark Helmet. High morale, strong physique, high level of training, moderate discipline:

Pawns and Introduction: These feared nomadic warriors are elite light cavalry who have undergone a second refinement, abandoning bow and arrow techniques in favor of cavalry scimitar charges. As one of the two heroes of the Norman Light Cavalry, he is proud of the group, regardless of equipment, training, combat ability, and combat will: arrogant personality, bohemian and unafraid of death, so that any commander likes these guys whether it is against light infantry and light cavalry, they can be competent. Even against hoplites, they can maneuver with flexibility: of course, it is not their job to clash the hoplites head-on. The data for the Light Archers are as follows: Light Archers, Middle Ages: Various Nomadic Tribes. Equipment: Norman Warhorse No. 3, Improved Machetar, Composite Cavalry Round Shield, Light Cavalry Armor (Lighter Single-Layer Cowhide Armor). Short compound bows (including iron wrenches, double pots and thirty arrows) and cavalry crossbows (lightly armed pulley crossbows, shorter range, but more powerful than compound bows, including twenty-five short crossbow arrows) have high morale, strong physique, high training, and high discipline.

Class Introduction: A lighter cavalry that specializes in cavalry and guerrilla tactics. These cavalrymen were faster and looser in formation, and preferred to harass the enemy with mounted archery tactics than to launch a charge and cut the enemy in two with a scimitar. When the enemy can't help but send out the army to pursue, he will use his speed and physical strength advantage to devour the enemy little by little. And a small number of archers are also equipped with the latest pulley crossbows to enhance their (Shinam Watermark) long-range lethality, as well as against heavily armored units. ,

Of course, such a policy will certainly be resisted by those tribes. After all, no one wants to give away their young and middle-aged laborers. But that's out of their way. The Norman Empire is no longer what it used to be, and it was just when it occupied Livonia and Prussia

As soon as it was in Eastern Europe, the empire did not send its main forces, but only three standard garrison corps and two hussar corps. The newly formed Baldo Fleet, which totaled 24,500 infantry and cavalry, was also given a new mission by Egil: to organize elite lightly armed ships and assault forces composed of light infantry at the mouths of the southern Baltic Sea. Advance along the river, conduct patrols and assault missions.

The Dragonhead Battleship, which was already about to be abolished, was reclaimed, redesigned, improved, and manufactured in large quantities - this kind of small warship with a shallow draft, fast speed, and can be easily pushed and pulled by human power in shallow river sections, and is extremely suitable for assault ships. And the conscripted Vikings were given a better name: Norman Light Assault Infantry:

In total, the Baltic detachment fleet has more than 400 Dragon Head battleships and more than 7,000 lightly armed assault infantry.

In this way, the Norman Empire had sufficient, and extremely combat-ready, reliable armies in Eastern Europe, on land, on rivers, in cities and in the steppes. Some individual tribes who had adapted to the good life of the Norman Empire and lived by trade with the Normans were naturally unable to resist. What's more, Emperor Egil's prestige is in full swing, and what tribe would dare to rebel? Not to mention those young men, who were all elected to join the Norman army, and they would not oppose such an opportunity.

In the end, Egil's reform was also successfully passed.

This is the case with the entire Eastern Military Region, which has a total of more than 30,000 troops that can go into battle, which is more than the combined armies of the Western Military Region and the Central Military Region. Soldiers and complete equipment on land and water. It's a powerhouse. Even with these armies alone, Eastern Europe could be pocketed.

Of course, at least a third of this series of reforms, as well as the arrangement of the army, are still only on paper. In particular, the newly formed 3rd Hussar Corps, the Baltic River Assault Force. These newly formed armies are seriously understaffed and require a great deal of money and time to regroup. And the old troops also need to further change their equipment: carry out military reform. Each of these things requires money.

For example, a standard class Viking Warrior Thousand Men has a new overhaul that replaces the Kite-shaped shield with a stronger and lighter kite-shaped shield. The use of improved steel battle axes for the treatment of metal replaced the old iron battle axes, further popularized the plate chain composite armor, and popularized the early plate armor among officers at the level of captain (a large group of 300 people).

In addition to this, the brand new battle flag of the Thousand Men (invented by the Indians), the half-phoenix army flag, the banner of the will of the Emperor Egil (the blue wolf flag), the infantry battle flag (axe and shield flag), these flags are not to mention, but also the soldiers' robes, clothes, officers' winds, and knightly medals...... These things, even with the help of the system, can save money to the greatest extent. But it still costs three to five hundred (Shinem Watermarks) gold: and other more advanced classes, such as Royal Knights, Assault Infantry, and Heavy Infantry, require more money.

According to the report of the Royal Council and the budget of the treasury, even if the Norman Empire were to be fully equipped and to recruit the number of troops expected by Egil, it would still take some time: well, about three to four years. It's a dead daddy!

Egil began to consider whether to introduce a tax increase at the same time as the military reform.

According to the regulations of the military reform, the Norman Central Army should have reached more than 80,000, of which 6,300 were Janissaries. It consisted of three thousand-strong Janissaries hoplites, one thousand-man Praetorian Guards longbowmen, one Praetorian Guards long-handled axemen, and one Janissary spear formation, and three hundred Praetorian Knights. The cost of such an army would reach 300,000, which is more than half of Norman's monthly taxes.

And the hoplites, which were renamed the Norman infantry, were former professional Viking warriors. There were forty-five thousand, or forty-five thousand.

Assault infantry, renamed the former Viking Death Assault Fighters of the Norman Assault Infantry, numbered 10,000, 10,000 troops. According to the latest military reform regulations, these assault infantry officers were to be equipped with early plate armor and improved tomahawks, with other improvements similar to those of the promised Norman infantry. It's just that the flag has been changed from an axe shield flag to a long-handled axe.

The infantry sequence is like this. In the cavalry sequence, Egil's capital was also reorganized, and according to the regulations, the Norman army was to form two new cavalry regiments, compared with the second and third hussar regiments, which numbered only 4,000 men, these two hussar regiments had 1,000 more men. Five thousand in all, consisting of three thousand melee hussars and two thousand lightly armed archers. The sequence is the Hussar Corps directly under the Emperor, and the First Hussar Corps...... ，。 ）
