After another ambush was blocked, the boys, generally around 20 years old, smiled triumphantly. It seems that the ambush on the way has become easy for them to deal with. However, Marin, who was marching with the team, showed a joking smile—boys, do you think the difficulty of training is like this? Lo and behold...
Then, this group of disintegrated teenagers experienced a night attack...
In the middle of the night, Marin sat leisurely on the top of the hill, looking at the camp below. Marin's camp was set up separately, and he was not mixed with the second generation of the army. Those silly kids didn't realize why, they were inexperienced, and they thought that big shots lived with them. How do you know that Marin just doesn't want to disrupt the exercise. Also, isn't it nice to sit on top of a mountain and watch kids being abused?
In order to prevent these children from losing control of their emotions and accidentally injuring friendly troops. Before nightfall, Marin specially asked the officers to confiscate the weapons of the young people to prevent them from killing and injuring friendly troops due to emotional loss.
Sure enough, Marin's worries were very reasonable. When a group of soldiers playing the role of "Blue Army" rushed into the barracks in the middle of the night with wooden shields and short wooden sticks, the young men who had never experienced being attacked at night, many of them appeared confused, panicked, fearful, and even hysterical. .
Fortunately, Marin sent someone to take away the weapons before, and those hysterical guys, the "Blue Army" soldiers who were attacked at night squeezed them with their shields and controlled them.
Then, since you fail, you will be beaten. No, the short wooden sticks tied with cloth strips held by those "Blue Army" soldiers mercilessly beat those young people, teaching them a lesson...
Don't look at those second-generation soldiers, including the three thousand young musketeers, who usually train well and have good skills and tactics. However, it still cannot change the nature of their lack of experience. In a simple night attack, 5,000 recruits were recruited, and 300 of them had emotional breakdowns and lost control. If it weren't for the lack of weapons in hand, it might really hurt people.
In the next few days, there will be night raids almost every night. Until no one loses control of their emotions, similar to the phenomenon of bombing camps. Only then did Marin ask the officers to distribute wooden weapons, such as wooden knives, wooden swords, and shields.
Then, after being attacked at night, this group of young people quickly gathered in the camp in the company as a unit, and began to organize defense and even counterattack.
After half a month, these teenagers basically got used to how to deal with night raids. When setting up camp, they also paid great attention to the details of guarding against night raids.
But Marin got up to new tricks and ordered the "Blue Army" to attack the supply team of the training troop and robbed the food and grass. Moreover, it was announced that this batch of grain and grass was "burned". Therefore, they cannot recover the grain and grass.
The teenagers suddenly collapsed - what to do if there is no food?
What can I do? Of course it’s collecting food on the spot... Cough cough,
To put it bluntly, it is to grab food...
Later, Marin formulated and arranged the target village, and asked his subordinates to go to the village to "collect grain"...
But the scary thing is that there are also "Blue Army" soldiers arranged by Marin in these villages. These teenagers were inexperienced, so they dispersed and went to each household to collect food. Then, dozens of people were quietly touched by the "villagers"...
Moreover, the unlucky child who was "touched" was not as simple as being tied and gagged. As punishment for failure, they will be beaten...
Marin didn't remind them along the way that they should keep a few people together when collecting food, but deliberately let them suffer a bit, and then enter the enemy's territory in the future, so as to reduce unnecessary casualties.
Then, Marin added a training program to them-finding the food hidden by the people!
Because of the perennial wars, the people in the German region actually lack a sense of security, and they always hide their food at home to avoid being plundered. Marin found old people in various villages and asked them to teach many ways to store food. Specifically, how to dig a pit and how to hide food in an inconspicuous place.
The goal of the teenagers is to find as much buried food as possible in the shortest possible time. These various training programs almost drove these young people crazy.
"Our future enemies are not so cunning, are they?" Many young soldiers asked such questions. Because, they have basically never heard of such cunning enemies in Western Europe... and cunning people...
"Hehe..." Marin smiled, but didn't tell them who the real enemy was.
The Grand Duchy of Moscow is not a country in Western Europe, where chivalry is not popular. After all, after being ruled by the Mongols for so long, I have learned some Eastern conspiracies and tricks. For example, night raids, ambush, etc., will also be a little furry. Therefore, we cannot use the common sense of Western Europe to figure out the situation there.
But Marin couldn't say clearly that he wanted to fight the Grand Duchy of Moscow, so he just asked them to train according to the plan. As for why, it needs to be kept secret, so naturally I won't say it.
On the contrary, some Eastern European Cossacks who accompanied him saw some clues—how could this method look familiar...
Although these conspiracies are more advanced than those in Eastern Europe, some Cossacks still have some guesses. Of course, this group of Cossack cavalry were all led by native German Cossacks. The headmen and thorns in the original Cossacks have all been removed. Therefore, they did not express any dissatisfaction. Anyway, for this kind of training, they are bystanders most of the time, and only a small number of exercises will affect them. After all, most of them are veterans, and they don't need to participate in many novice-level trainings.
Until Marin ordered the garment factory to prepare down jackets, some old Cossacks finally guessed Marin's intentions—winter clothes? Is it going to hit the Eastern European prairie?
You know, at present, down jackets are only affordable for nobles and rich people in Beihai. And Marin ordered thousands of down jackets for those teenagers at once, which is very unusual.
Probably also aware that someone had guessed it, so Marin simply issued a password order among the Cossack cavalry to prevent them from discussing such topics, so as not to spread the news and be known by the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
...
In addition, in addition to desperately training these recruits, Marin also began to pay attention to selecting a group of infantry to participate in this expedition.
Although it is said that long-distance raids are dominated by cavalry. But the problem is that if you are fighting a siege, you still need to use infantry. Moreover, the number of infantry required is still large.
Moreover, in addition to the siege battle, the infantry was also mainly used to escort the immigrants back to the country after the victory. You can't let a large number of cavalry accompany the immigrant team to march slowly, right? You must know that these 10,000 horsemen have three horses per person. If they march slowly with the immigrant team, the food consumption of the horses will be astonishing. Even Mongolian horses, which eat very little feed, need to be paired with some grain occasionally. 30,000 horses need a lot of food, and they cannot accompany the immigrants to march slowly. And the task of escorting the immigrants, after all, must be pushed to the infantry.
Therefore, Marin can only select a group of young infantry who are good at traveling long distances to accompany them as auxiliary troops. Once you encounter the tasks of siege warfare and escorting immigrants, you have to rely on them.
As for the number of people, Marin paused to select 20,000 infantry first. Most of them are mountain people in the south, and they are good at trekking long distances. Even on rough terrain, you can walk like a fly. In addition, the age cannot exceed 30 years old, which is a guarantee for long-distance marches.
