Chapter 244: The Soldier's Discussion
People's courage can only be exerted when there is a number of people as a guarantee, and the more comrades-in-arms around them, the greater this courage becomes, and even creates a feeling of invincibility in the world.
This is the case with the coalition armies of the various countries, and their combined numbers must be in the tens of millions! The Rus' Empire alone, the greedy Rus' Tsar sent three million troops in one fell swoop, as well as other countries.
In particular, the Byzantine Empire and the Vissexes, the Vikings, and the Warois, the troops they sent were not the hillbillies who were still in the fields yesterday, and today suddenly took up arms and went into battle, all of which had standing armies.
Heavy infantry of the Byzantine Empire, archers of Vessex - the Vissex Empire even had a bizarre law...... The most legitimate form of pastime is archery, not to mention the Vikings, everyone is a savage warrior. Heavy cavalry in Valois.
There is still a Habsburg family left, and all the arms of the Habsburg family are extremely strong, and the armor on their bodies is all expensive goods, and it is such a powerful family empire that can support such an expensive army.
Either way, the situation of the Shalama dynasty is not optimistic.
At the front, a makeshift fortification contained a force of 200,000 troops, of which only 50,000 were Crimean troops, and the rest were a coalition of peasants and townspeople.
War is the best place to be trained, and under the repeated battles, whether willing or unwilling, farmers and citizens have been sharpened into good warriors.
Leaning against the wooden fence and looking into the distance, several soldiers, all new to the army, volunteered. Although it didn't take long, everyone had a lot of lives on their hands.
The Crimean soldiers were simply too elite. The professional, trained soldiers, who have never had to be engaged in production, are so powerful that they can win every battle. Even in the face of numerical disadvantages, they were able to reap the fruits of victory, and over time, these recruits grew a lot because of their successive victories.
"I heard that all the countries on the continent have declared war on us this time, will Her Majesty Salama be able to hold on?" asked one soldier uneasily. Rumors have been circulating among the soldiers for a long time these days.
It was nothing more than the declaration of Nassau and the successive declarations of war by other countries on the continent.
We are standing in a righteous place, and we will definitely win. And I watched, the reason why those countries would attack the Salama dynasty was nothing more than to see the measures of His Majesty Salama Xià made them feel cold. ”
"What about the damned, greedy aristocrats, who don't see our good, give us the land that belongs to us in the first place? Are nobles born to enslave others?"
"I'll tell you, in the Rus' Empire, the noble landlords don't even treat us as human beings, not even as good as cattle! Some nobles run the docks, and in order to prevent the serfs from escaping, they even tie their feet with chains, and then connect a group of people together, so that the speed is slowed down! A group of people are chained and connected together. How fast to be able to walk. Do you know what this nobleman wants to do with serfs?"
"I don't know. "This is a city citizen who is much better off than a peasant, but still has to endure the oppression of greedy officials. It can be described as miserable. There are also those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which have to be paid by these citizens.
"Those hundreds of tons of ships were actually pulled away by the serfs, and dozens or hundreds of serfs led hundreds of tons of ships on the shore. Can you imagine what this would be? And there was more than one towing per day, and the number of boats towed every day was uncountable. Almost every serf who worked had rotted at his ankle. The bones were exposed, and the shoulders were not spared. Many people's left shoulder is pressed more than a dozen centimeters lower than their right shoulder!"
"We must not let those bastards enslave us again, only Her Majesty Salama is truly thinking about us, she did not imprison us in the land, nor did she arrange for the nobles to divide the feuds, and she also gave us these broken settlers to settle each of us with land, which has never been done by such a wise monarch. ”
Relying on everyone's attachment to the land, Salama successfully won the hearts of the soldiers for herself. Everyone, with the aim of protecting their hard-won land, will unite to fight under the hands of Salama.
The hearts of the people are united, and relying on high morale and cohesion, Shalama's army is invincible.
This was the power of the agrarian reform, on which the peasant armies of the past relied to gain support, but unfortunately the leaders of the peasant revolt still followed the old path, and after the victory, they were quickly assimilated by the local nobility and became a new aristocracy, and of course, those broken settlements were still broken settlements, slaves of the land.
This is not the case with Salama, and you can see Salama's courage from here. Although the land reform was very effective, few and no one dared to carry out the land reform, and it was so thorough that it opposed the land reform of the aristocracy. The consequences of this are obvious - like Salama, who became the enemy of all the nobles and states on the continent, standing in opposition to them.
If you don't have enough strength to play this hand, you will die.
"But I hear we seem to have an ally - they are the army of the undead, and the legend says that the army of the undead is evil, you ......say," said a resigned soldier.
Don't look like he looks timid, but in fact he is a marksman, and he plays with a bow and arrow in one hand.
"Say, say, say, say, even if it's an army of the undead. Have you heard of any bad track record of our allies? They have never killed innocents indiscriminately, and they have disarmed and guarded their captives, and they have not mistreated them, and they have even provided food. I have heard that the peasants in many places are afraid of the undead army, but they are eager for the undead army to go to them and liberate them. Compared to those vampire aristocrats, the army of the undead is so kind. The soldier next to him said, "Besides, legends are legends, do you believe legends or do you believe what you see now?" The church has always said that those who believe in other gods are demons from hell who will tempt people to sin, but don't tell me that you have not been treated by the druids. ”
"Well, there's an enemy over there!" shouted a stalking soldier......!
