701 Chapter 701: Train

Uzmi looked at the tens of thousands of troops of the Third Corps of the United Army, who dared to set up a defensive position in front of their three million troops, and was so angry that he couldn't fight anywhere.

Patrick shook his head and said: "What we have to do now is not to fight, but to preserve our strength, slow down the speed of the unified army's attack, and hold on until the reinforcements from the capital of magic arrive."

The two openly discussed how to delay the process of the unified army, and the nobles next to them were also aggrieved. Only the two who communicated knew that they had already prepared.

Preserving strength is true, but they no longer expect to be able to control the Commonwealth of Cleveland.

Naturally, it is impossible to waste their strength here. The strength in their hands will affect their future right to speak in front of the magic capital in the future.

Except for a few key officers and veterans, the so-called Iron Wall Legion and Snow Fox Legion are the reserve troops of the two major legions.

The veterans of the two original legions have already begun to transfer to their respective territories, and even their wealth has begun to be transferred on a large scale. However, these nobles are kept in the dark by the two of them and are fully cooperating with them in mobilizing their troops.

"The food shortage is huge!" Uzmi said with a sigh.

With an army of three million, the daily food consumption is an astronomical figure.

Although the grains of each family were produced, they were all placed in the camp of the rear army's Xuehu Army for unified management.

After all, in addition to blitzkrieg, the United Army also has a fine tradition of air raids on granaries.

On the surface, Uzmi said that there was a large shortage of food, but in fact, he was implying that this amount of food would also be transferred. At that time, with the back of the magic capital, these defeated nobles would not be able to trouble them at all.

Since you want to betray, you must be the most thorough.

Patrick nodded resolutely.

"I will be responsible for food safety."

The two sides confronted each other on the border for three days. During these three days, some nobles in the Cleveland army did not believe in evil and led their private troops to test and attack. As a result, a wave of volleys fired from 300 kilometers away, and they retreated directly.

Single-shot breech-loading rifles are now mainly equipped for the main force. Most noble private troops are equipped with revolver rifles. They did not realize the performance of single-shot breech-loading rifles at first, and they all felt that they were not as easy to use as revolver rifles.

But the revolver rifle has a fatal flaw, and the accuracy of long-range shooting is a mystery.

The Cleveland Army had mastered infantry line tactics half a year ago, and even had a significant restraint effect on cavalry, which also caused the rapid decline of cavalry. The minimum standard of today's knights is also high-level knights.

Only a knight group composed of high-level knights can charge at close range to block the shooting of rifles.

On the confrontational border line, the United Army in the province of Yasi and the reorganized garrison are quickly laying train tracks.

The train was produced a long time ago, but the primary purpose was to lay the railway to the North Wind Prairie and the Gorland Plateau, so that the two places could be completely connected.

"This time the war was launched too hastily. Although the army had already prepared for it, if it was delayed by half a year, no, three months, the train tracks could be laid here."

Aslan looked at the busy army and said with a wry smile.

Duke Durandal couldn't understand the purpose of the rails laid on the ground in front of him at all. I heard that they were all made of steel. If they were laid here from the city of Merlot, they needed steel to do it.

The Duke of Medea also took the train, and even shook Aslan many times on the train. This time, she didn't want to take the RV again.

"It should have been laid long ago." Duke Medea said.

Nuomiri and Artoria nodded in agreement.

Nomiri thought it was comfortable to take the train, while Artoria thought it was faster to transport soldiers, especially supplies.

The start of the war was too hasty this time, the food was good, and the ammunition wasted a bit, otherwise the Third Corps would not have confronted the Cleveland Army. In fact, the Second Corps also went north for reinforcements in two days, leaving only the No. A corps commanded the local garrison to build the railway.

The rebellion against the nobles in the Asean province was cleaned up, and all the remaining nobles surrendered. The noble private troops and defenders in various regions were also integrated. At that time, Aslan was shocked when he heard the size of the army. .

There are more than a million people, an army composed of one-thirtieth of the population of Yashi'an Province.

Aslan directly appointed Cromwell as the chief of the training camp, responsible for retraining and dismissing the million-strong army.

With the lessons learned from the anti-plum defense line, it was unexpectedly easy to demobilize the troops. The demobilized soldiers happily returned home with ten silver coins. Most of the million troops were demobilized. The last more than 200,000 troops were deployed, plus the 100,000 troops on the anti-Mei line of defense.

All of a sudden, more than 300,000 garrison troops were added, which made Aslan shake his head.

Cromwell came running with a document.

Within a radius of 5,000 meters of Aslan, unless he is a master-level powerhouse, he can only come. On the one hand, he respects Aslan's identity, and on the other hand, he considers Aslan's safety.

Cromwell looked at Artoria and nodded, saluted and said: "My lord! During this period of training the new army, I found that it is too cumbersome to implement today's tactics with the existing army establishment. Moreover, the size of the army is too large and bloated to be suitable for large-scale war mobilization."

When Aslan heard this, he immediately became interested.

The existing army organization of the United Army is adapted from the original army organization of the mainland. The army organization of the existing mainland countries is a 100-man squadron, a thousand-man squadron, and a 10,000-man brigade.

Ten Regiments, the full name is the United Column of Ten Thousand Teams.

"Is this what you proposed?" Aslan asked with great interest.

Cromwell shook his head and said: "This is just my doubt. It was only after communicating with Her Excellency Artoria that I discovered the seriousness of the problem with the establishment of the army."

"Oh! Tell me about it."

"With the development of technology, there are more and more aspects that commanders need to take into account. Simplifying the formation of troops is conducive to improving the commander's control on the battlefield. Simply put, with the range of artillery and rifles, we no longer As in the original war, the soldiers were gathered together to charge and kill, but they began to respond back and forth, and the distance between the front army and the rear army may even exceed more than ten kilometers. In this way, the existing army establishment is extremely inconvenient for the commander. Difficult to schedule."

"When the troops are maneuvering in a large area, it is easy to make mistakes. Once the enemy catches this mistake, it is likely to cause fatal damage to our army." Cromwell explained seriously.
