Chapter 72 Orc-Style Mule and Horse Corps
The next day, in the military camp.
"A hard laborer, right? Here are your equipment." The orc at the door handed a shovel to the hard laborer in line in front of him.
For today, Nergo went to buy a large number of shovels yesterday, and he had visited almost all the shops in Grommashar.
The hard laborer took the shovel and walked forward. Behind him was a tall orc.
"Registration?" The orc asked a nonsense question. How could such a tall orc be a hard laborer?
"Soldier." The orc said in a muffled voice.
"Soldier?" The orc at the door glanced at him and handed him the same shovel as the hard laborer.
Shovel! ?
The orc was surprised and said, "Did you give the wrong one? I signed up as a soldier!"
"Yes, you are a soldier." The orc at the door pointed inside and said, "Soldiers must also have shovels, this is the rule."
Looking at his unbelievable look, the orc said, "Hurry in, the quartermaster will give you other equipment."
"Come on, next one!"
………………
Infantry.
Sylvanas has seen it.
Workers.
Sylvanas has also seen it.
But it is the first time that Sylvanas has seen infantrymen who look like workers.
Even the militias of the human kingdom do not dress like such pure workers.
Seeing Nergo's soldiers, who are like the workers' association coming out to rebel, Sylvanas can't help it.
She asked Nergo, "Why do your infantrymen carry shovels? How can soldiers fight with shovels?"
Roman:...
It is obvious that Nergo is ready to use the talents and skills of the traversers again.
Last time, the cavalry learned from the Normans. This time, the infantry Nergo decided to learn from the Romans, or more precisely, the Romans after the Marius Army reform.
Some people may not understand what is the relationship between learning from the Roman Legion and carrying a shovel?
Of course, in fact, the Romans' fighting style is the same as playing a simulation construction game.
At the end of the Roman Legion's march every day, they would rush to build a new camp before the night came. Even if there was an enemy, half of the people had to go to build the camp.
Turning an offensive war into a defensive war, this is the Roman Legion! (Wrong)
Nergo divided these soldiers into dozens of teams. Every ten teams together formed a large team. Each team consisted of 8 soldiers and two laborers responsible for boiling water, cooking and other sundries. The remaining four people served as flag soldiers, responsible for selecting the location of the camp and measuring the distance and conveying orders.
At the same time, Nergo did not forget to equip "Marius's mule" with a "mule".
The last raid on the ogres gave the War Song Clan some of their specialty - wild boars.
These wild boars are hardworking and can be used as mounts, so they successfully avoid being used as food. Nergo asked for them and equipped each team with a wild boar to carry all kinds of miscellaneous things.
Since we are talking about training, the first step must be to stand in line. There is nothing much to say about this. Nergo holds a cane and will hit any soldier who makes a mistake with it without hesitation.
As an officer of neither size nor size, he still understands the use of both kindness and force.
What is kindness? Not to mention the food he provides for him every day as a soldier, those meals have barbecue or dried meat, hunting wine, and bread and vegetables that only the nobles of Azeroth next door can afford.
Just say this set of equipment, which was bought with money borrowed by Nergo from a rich woman who did not want to disclose her health condition. It is the best equipment he can afford.
Although the combination of short sword and large shield does not conform to the tradition of orc recruits, this set of armor and helmet is really useful.
In addition, each team has two hard laborers responsible for taking care of them. This is comparable to the enjoyment of medieval knights, which is not something that ordinary orcs can experience.
Now that we have finished talking about the good, Nergo will naturally not forget the power.
No discipline? Then use training to make you understand discipline.
Disobey orders and make a mess? Then let you be afraid and know that you will be beaten.
This severe punishment is the power prepared by Nergo. Anyone who does not follow the standards set by Nergo will be beaten with a cane.
As long as you don’t die, I will find a shaman to heal you, and then continue to fight!
There are complaints. These guys are still fantasizing that they are like their fathers. Being a soldier is a nomadic army. At the order of the chief, each of them prepares weapons and armor to rob a wave.
Usually, they eat meat and drink wine with big mouthfuls, and get together to brag.
As a result, after arriving, they found that it was not the case. Eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls is true, but before they get together to brag, they stand in line for a long time.
After waiting for a break, they had no time to brag, and all complained to each other.
Nergo understood this situation, and he had his own countermeasures. He first persuaded them with kind words, explaining the necessity of these things to them, which was his guidance as a shaman.
Then he used his cane to hit him twice, letting him know what to do and what not to do, which was his duty as an officer.
The emphasis was on courtesy before force, and absolutely not on killing without teaching.
The effect was not bad. After all, after a morning of training, these orcs were in good shape.
At least compared with the previous appearance of nomads, they were now at the Cossack level, which was a great improvement.
Nelgo smiled slightly, looking at the orc soldiers in front of him who had been fully armed according to his orders, "Are you all dressed? Very good, let's start training now. Everyone walk around the barracks ten times first."

Walk ten times fully armed?
You should know that Nelgo sent out not only armor, but also javelins, large shields, a short sword and an axe.
"Are you training their physical fitness and endurance?" Sylvanas asked.
Nelgo nodded, "Yes, I hope they can march 60 miles in five hours."
"You use them as mules?" Sylvanas thought this orc was crazy. If these soldiers were cavalry, he would not be surprised, but it was simply impossible for the recruits who had just joined the army to achieve his vision under full armor.
"Mule?" There is no such creature in Draenor, and there is naturally no such word in the orc language, so Sylvanas used this sentence in Sarasian to say this word. Nelgo did not understand the meaning of this word, but it did not affect their conversation.
"No matter what they are, I must achieve my goal." Nergo said calmly. Seeing that the soldiers said the same thing as he said, he also went down and joined them.
If he couldn't achieve the goal he set, what difference would it be from a joke?
As for the goal being too difficult?
They are orcs. They are far superior to the Romans in terms of physical fitness and endurance. Nergo doesn't believe that his soldiers can't do what the Romans could do in the Punic War.
Orcs, they must have the physical fitness of beasts and the discipline of humans.
As expected, the goal he set was not high. Although the soldiers were a little out of breath and sweat dripped from their skin, most of them still insisted on completing the tasks he assigned. Even the laborers did not fall behind. Nergo was very satisfied.
This is just the first time, no rush, after a long time, the laborers under his command will be three points stronger than others.
