Chapter 498: Handsome Flag
Sovata City, the Duke of Aquitaine, and the Duke of Martelli have been sent back by Li Huailin to prepare for the war. Li Huailin also came to his private army camp. It is said that he came here for the first time and saw it for the first time. own troops.
Speaking of which, seeing this group of troops for the first time, Li Huailin still had a bit of a headache, because the large group of soldiers below... Although the equipment and everything looked neat, but judging from the momentum of the troops, it was not very good. Now the morale of his team is very high, probably because Li Huailin hacked their chief to death for no reason, which caused the morale to skyrocket. Because of this, the group of soldiers below are all eager to try and seem to want to fight , but in fact this is the performance of new recruits. If it is replaced by the second army, although the morale is high, it will definitely be very quiet. But there's no way around that, who made this group of guys really just a team of recruits.
Through his territory management panel, Li Huailin looked at the current situation of these people.
The first light cavalry team: 1200 people, team level d, experience 520, loyalty 100, morale: positive 7.
The second light cavalry team: 1255 people, team level e, experience 308, loyalty 100, morale: positive 7.
The former captain of the First Cavalry was Bennett, because he had intermediate cavalry training skills, and because the first team formed an army earlier, the troop was promoted to D rank. Now Bennett has been hacked to death by himself, so this force has become a force directly under Li Huailin.
The second cavalry team is relatively bad, with the lowest e-level evaluation, and the captain has always been Bruno. Speaking of this guy, he is now standing beside Li Huailin with a look of excitement. Regarding the fact that his father was hacked to death for no reason, This guy was so excited that tears filled his eyes, he wished he could die for Li Huailin.
"My lord, the troops have been assembled, and there are actually 2455 people." Here, Reg stood beside Li Huailin and reported. He never thought that Li Huailin's random order could be implemented so easily, and not only did he not When the trouble happened, the soldiers were quite touched one by one. They all said that the lord was wise and martial, and the rewards and punishments were clear, but Reg didn't know what to do.
After thinking about it, he is worthy of being the lord. He, an ordinary man, really can't understand how he did it. If he understands it, then he can be a duke himself.
"Macken, what do you think?" Li Huailin turned his head and asked McCann who had just rushed over. After this guy arrived, he immediately entered the position of lieutenant general. After receiving the current information, he began to read it without stopping for a moment. .
"This...Marshal, to be honest?" McCann raised his head and asked.
"Nonsense, do you want you to flatter me?" Li Huailin said.
"This army is really... rotten, there is nothing to say,
The reserve team of the Second Legion is also much better than this group of people. It doesn't even have enough time for training. Marshal, can we really fight with this kind of troops? said McCann.
The soldiers below are all fresh-blooded recruits, and they blushed anxiously when they were told by McCann, but none of them dared to refute anything. The Second Legion is now one of the best ace troops in the empire. Look at the elves, which are called elites The Silverwind Guard of the army was completely wiped out by the Second Army. If they could enter the Second Army, they would also like to join. The problem is that the income standard of the Second Army is too high. If selected, any soldier from the regular regiment of the Second Legion can be a petty sergeant here, and there is a gap in the level of the two sides.
However, McCann didn't seem to see how anxious the soldiers below were, and continued: "Our main opponent, Duke Lautner, his army is full of 5,000 people, and they are all left by veterans of many battles. Absolutely, although we are all cavalry here, according to the information here, Duke Lautner's army also has 2,000 cavalry troops, and they are more elite than us, so we have no advantage at all, Marshal, this battle how to spell?"
"I won't play well if I have the advantage?" Li Huailin said, "Now our winning rate is about 10%, this kind of forced one-to-nine is what I can play."
"There is still a 10% winning rate in this kind of battle. It's not a loss to the Marshal..." McCann said emotionally.
"Everyone must fight to the death. These days, everyone has been training hard for this battle. I hope everyone will not cherish their lives and die for the marshal!" Reg, who was next to him, immediately roared.
"Die for the marshal!" The soldiers also shouted immediately.
"How long will it take us to reach the battlefield when we set off now?" Li Huailin asked.
"Soon." McCann said, "Our troops are all cavalry troops, and we don't need logistical supplies for the time being, so we can set off without waiting for the supply team. In this way, our marching speed is very fast. If we march in a hurry, You can reach the battlefield in one day, and you can reach it in two days with a normal march.”
"No logistics?" Li Huailin asked a little strangely.
"Well, this is actually the attention of Marshal Oliveira, your finance minister." McCann explained a little bit. In fact, Li Huailin's fief is still far away from Duke Martelli's fief. If ordinary troops march , 4-5 days is required, but Li Huailin is different this time. His side is full of cavalry troops, and the marching speed is very fast, and there is a new solution for the baggage that slowed down the marching speed this time. Generally speaking, the supply troops bring their own food when they go to fight in places without supplies, but Li Huailin's march this time is all in the territory of the empire, and there are more than a dozen cities, large and small, passing by along the way. There is no need to think about the problem at all, just bring some dry food at the beginning, and then buy it at any time on the road, and Oliveira has already contacted the people from the Dean Chamber of Commerce, and has prepared food and grass for Li Huailin along the way, so there is no problem at all , Besides, the city lord who passed by along the way dared not give Li Huailin face, the troops passed by, and they didn't have to come out to entertain them, and asked them for some supplies, could they not give them if they arrived? Li Huailin is free to go out this time, as long as he leads the cavalry unit forward, and the supply unit slowly follows, there is no problem at all.
"That's it." After listening to McCann's explanation, Li Huailin nodded. This is a good way, but Li Huailin was not in a hurry to rush there, but it would be good to arrive earlier, so he said, "Okay, then let's go now." Ready to go."
"The whole army has it, get on the horse!" Regal next to him shouted.
With two sounds of "shua shua", all the soldiers turned their horses on their backs, and the movements of getting on the horses were uniform, which made Li Huailin's eyes light up.
"Huh? This horse mount is pretty good, very imposing." McCann also said, this level really looks like an elite force.
"In terms of riding skills, they have worked hard." Reg said, "Of course, other aspects still need to be trained, that is, being able to fight on horseback, and fighting off horseback. We haven't had time to train yet."
"Don't increase my winning rate for no reason, bastard." Li Huailin said, "Forget it, everyone listen... wait... I really want to forget an important thing."
"What's the matter? My lord?" Reg asked next to him.
"The barracks call me Marshal." Li Huailin reminded.
"Yes, Marshal." Reg immediately saluted, "May I ask what orders Marshal has?"
"Don't you think that it's not that a guy of my level appears on the stage in person... something like a prop that increases momentum." Li Huailin said.
"Oh? What is that? Marshal?" Reg asked without thinking for a while.
"I'm talking about the military flag, the military flag! Without my military flag, how would others know that I am in the military formation? I have a use for my appearance." Li Huailin said.
"Oh, is the marshal talking about the commander's flag? Yes, it is indeed necessary." Reg nodded, "I don't know what style the marshal wants. I will ask someone to do it right away, and it will be ready right away."
There are thousands of servants in the Duke's mansion, and there are a lot of master tailors. It is very easy to find a few, but it is just a matter of a military flag, which can be done in minutes.
"Well, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I have to design it." Li Huailin nodded.
Half an hour later, a strong flag bearer appeared on the platform in front of the troops. The soldier who had just been promoted by Li Huailin to be the only member of the flag-carrying team raised the newly-made handsome flag and raised it higher. In an instant, all the soldiers present... were all petrified.
I saw a huge black flag on the 7-meter-high flagpole, and there was no pattern on the flag, but these two huge white characters "powerful" were written on the top grid, and there was an arrow underneath, because the flag is now Standing on Li Huailin's head, the arrow just pointed at Li Huailin's head.
"How is it?" Li Huailin said quite satisfied.
McCann: "..."
Reg: "..."
"Marshal, do we really use this flag?" Seeing Li Huailin's satisfied expression, McCann asked cautiously.
"Nonsense, don't you want to pull the wind?" Li Huailin puffed up his chest and fought under the word "mighty", then raised his head and said, "This shape... is not awesome, does it pull the wind, does it fly?"
"..." McCann raised his forehead.
"Well, the marshal is really different, he is indeed a role model for my generation." Reg went up and flattered him.
"Well..." Li Huailin nodded, "Okay, everyone can see clearly, this will be my handsome flag from now on, and the direction of this flag will be where my will is. Wherever the flag goes, you will kill me Where, do you understand?"
"Yes! Marshal!" The soldiers present shouted in unison.
"Okay, get ready, the whole army is going!" Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand. rs
