85_85536 The successful construction of the new army gave William a lot of confidence. Despite this, Charlumi still insisted that the combat effectiveness of her two hundred cavalry soldiers was higher than that of William's super-long spear phalanx. However, William still believed that this group of troops was the capital of his life—after all, he had trained this group of troops by hand. He knew what this group of troops was capable of. He would naturally trust the troops he was familiar with more than the two hundred private soldiers he was not familiar with.

In addition to this, William had another consideration - that is, the centaurs of Tartaria.

William could figure it out with his heels. This time the chaos in Mazovia is related to them. And next, in the war with the centaurs. William thought that the pikemen were more useful than the light cavalry.

The theory is very simple. When it comes to cavalry combat, William really doesn't know a race stronger than centaurs. It's very easy to figure out. When it comes to cavalry, the highest level of horsemanship, there is an adjective that is "man and horse are one". However, this highest level of riding is born with every centaur.

Their riding skills are at full level. At the same time, they have more speed and endurance than the average horse—and at the same time, they are stronger than the average human.

Under such circumstances, William could not imagine that any human cavalry could defeat the same number of centaurs in a fair contest...... Unless it is in the future, the science and technology of mankind have been improved to a certain extent. At least, at least, point out the revolver with six rounds in a row. to be able to make a tie with the centaurs.

So, in a sense, William felt that it was not a good idea to be stimulated by the centaurs and the various countries in the eastern border region of mankind to desperately develop light cavalry. This is basically a matter of seeking fish from a wood and going in the opposite direction.

William felt that if he wanted to compete well with the Centaurs on the battlefield, he had to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. There is little hope on the cavalry, so don't continue. It's right to think about the infantry.

Use a phalanx of heavily armed spears to counter the forced charge of the centaur shock cavalry. At the same time, a large number of muskets and artillery were used to counter the bow and arrow throws of the centaur guerrillas - of course, William did need a nimble light cavalry force, but it was not their duty to confront the centaur cavalry head-on. Rather, it was reconnaissance, guerrilla, breaking the enemy's rear roads, and defending the flanks of one's own infantry phalanx.

...... But of course, in this situation, William has such a little thing, such a status. You want to train a hoplite pikeman, plus a flintlock musketeer, plus Napoleon's twelve-pounder infantry gun, unicorn cannon howitzer, and elite light cavalry armed with short-barreled handcuffs...... Assemble such a ...... Well...... No matter how you say it, there are thousands of troops.

Just think about it in your dreams. If you want to form such a force, you must either wait for William to slap Princess Elise, and then stab his father-in-law and become the Grand Duke of Mazovia. Or wait for him to finish his father's ideological work. Let Baron Otto become the Daru Huachi of the Tartarian Khanate......

Both of these tasks are not easy. However, William thinks very highly of himself, believing that he will not be able to complete these two difficult Red Skull level tasks with little effort.

But the problem is, this one takes time. And now William's time is tight. So he can only settle for the next best thing and do some relatively simple green-level tasks that he can do and don't take long.

It was not long after William had trained this peasant army and trained it on the right track to be ready for formation, and the situation in the Grand Duchy of Mazovia became more and more chaotic.

"The homeless people have finally risen. In Charlumi's study, Countess Chersk frowned. And William, who was opposite him, seemed to have heard of her words. Just frowning and looking at the map.

William didn't speak, just looked at the map while gesturing there with his hands. Xia Lumi didn't react much else, but continued:

"Now it seems that the next target of this group of displaced people is us. Charlumi sighed at this, and then said, "In the last two months, they have just sacked the county of Baudelaire. This time, it's different. The strength of the Count of Baudelaire, although not too strong in the Grand Duchy, is also in the middle range. And the contemporary Count Baudelaire, although not a wise lord, is also a qualified nobleman. It's like saying......"

"It is equivalent to saying that they have really grown big and have the ability to subvert the mid-level lords, that is, they really have the ability to influence the Grand Duchy of Mazovia. William said what Charlumi frowned and didn't want to say.

"Well, William. What should we do?" asked Charlumie.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. William replied.

“...... Do you want to ask your uncle for help?" asked Charlumie.

"It depends. William thought for a moment, then replied.

In his heart, William did not want to ask his father, Baron Otto, for help, but he was targeting a formidable enemy like Tartaria.

William has always been very arrogant. If he had to ask his father, Baron Otto, for help in the face of these outcasts, these scum-like enemies, in order to survive, then he couldn't accept it in his heart.

But, of course, if things really develop to that Cheng dù, then William will naturally not die to save face. And since he saw that behind the **** of the outcasts this time, there is the shadow of the Centaur Khanate. That means that this outcastic riot cannot be taken lightly. The difficulty is not your average green simple task. At least it's also a medium difficulty for yellow.

Although William thinks that he is something, he is the shining star of tomorrow in the world. But at the end of the day, this was the first time he had actually gone to the battlefield as a commander. If you are inexperienced, you will naturally feel worried. So, in order to leave an insurance policy for yourself. You can't be too full of what you say.

"So...... Do we stick to the castle?" Immediately afterwards, Charlumi proposed another to build yì.

"That's not going to work. William shook his head: "If it's an ordinary homeless person, forget it." But since they can break a count's castle in a short time. Then it is not a good idea for us to choose to stick to it. ”

"The castle of Baudelaire is in disrepair and is a small castle built in the plains. It's the kind of outer wall that can be climbed over by just three people stacking Arhats. Hearing William say this, Charlumi was a little unhappy: "That kind of small broken castle with civil structure is not comparable to Chersk Fort at all!"

"Okay. All right. So I'll give you another reason. William said: "They could not storm the Chersk castle." But with their strength, they have no problem breaking through ordinary farms and small towns, right? After all, most of them only have a fence wall, or an earthen wall. The peasant soldiers and town guards in the farms and small towns were few in number and inadequate. So they're all good targets. ”

"Yes. Although she was reluctant to admit it, Charomi nodded.

"Therefore, if we hold on to the castle of Chersk, we will give up all the other farms and towns in the territory. Let the outcasts, or the outcasts, ransack those places. That's not good. ”

"But......," said William. Charlumi couldn't think of anything to argue. Or rather, there are things that can be argued, such as "their security is nothing compared to our security." "First of all, we need to make sure that we are not harmed, and everything else is secondary".

But, after all, Charlumi still has a face. Or maybe Xia Lumi's skin is not thick enough. After all, she is still young and has no time to skin herself. Or to put it nicely, the needles of the "city government" cultivation cannot be penetrated.

"So, Charumi. William shook his fingers: "So, as a lord, it is both a right and an obligation. While you accept the resources, wealth, and service and offerings of the people in your territory, you also have an obligation to protect them from harm, right?"

"The truth is this, I know this, but ......" Hearing William say this, Charlumie felt even more embarrassed.

And, to put it another way. As Countess of Chersk. Every qiē in this county is your legal property. What they want to plunder is, in the end, your wealth. Whether it's the stock in those farms, the equipment, or even the farmers themselves. They are all your property. The Chersk Countdom sank for more than ten years. It was not easy to regain a little vitality. You can't bear to give them all away so lightly?"

"Of course I can't bear it. I don't want to. However, William ...... Can we really do it? ...... Can we really beat those rogues? just the two of us?" asked Charlumi uncertainly.

"Of course. Without hesitation, William replied, "Of course I can!" I am William von Hereford. A man destined to be recorded in history forever and forever. How can a small battle against a rogue be difficult for me?!"

William said this categorically. After finishing speaking, he looked at Xia Lumi's half-shocked, half-adoring, half-embarrassed, half-eager expression, and then added: "And even if it is temporarily defeated." It's not like we can't run. When the time comes, we'll flee back to the castle and write to my father asking for help, and that will be too late. ”。
