Chapter 102 Colonel Arthur
(Because of writing weird things, the [-]-word chapter was directly locked, and I may find an editor to release it tomorrow)

The number of recruits for the new army has exceeded [-]. Since the number of refugee civilians who have flowed into Harrenhal has decreased a lot in the past few days, the number of new troops has also stopped growing.

Moreover, due to the length of joining time, the training level of recruits varies.

So Arthur picked out the second-level and above soldiers who had already been trained to form the first regiment.

There are a total of 1300 second-level soldiers, 220 third-level soldiers, 29 fourth-level soldiers, and six fifth-level soldiers.

Among them, the second-level soldiers are strong farmers recruited from the Moulin Rouge and Harrenhal, the third-level soldiers are from Arthur's original territories, and the fourth-level and fifth-level soldiers are family soldiers who have been out of production before crossing.

In order to facilitate management, Arthur established an army system at the level of squad, platoon, company, battalion, and regiment according to the habits of his previous life.

A squad of ten people, a row of three squads, a company of three rows, a company of 90 people is the most basic combat unit.

The reason for this division is that Arthur remembered a theory in his previous life that the number of people he is familiar with can only be around a hundred people, so a company of 90 people can make the company commander familiar with all the soldiers, which is conducive to cooperation in combat.

Five companies form a battalion, and at this level, non-combat members must be equipped.

Each battalion is stuffed with a number of cooks, [-] miscellaneous servants, and several monks who volunteer to help. They are responsible for functions other than combat.

Each squad leader and platoon leader is a smart person selected from the 220 third-level soldiers, fifteen company commanders are served by fourth-level family soldiers, and three battalion commanders are appointed by fifth-level family soldiers. The above-mentioned head of the regiment is concurrently held by Arthur himself.

The three battalions are organized into the first battalion, second battalion, and third battalion in sequence, as are the companies and squads under their jurisdiction.

A total of 450 soldiers were filled into the three battalions, and the remaining [-] soldiers formed a reinforced company and were directly under Arthur's command.

In terms of equipment, there are all kinds of things.

There are 520 sets of iron armor purchased in King's Landing, 700 sets of chain mail and [-] sets of plate armor purchased in the River Bend, and more than [-] sets of western light cavalry armor captured in the First World War in Heron Town. And nearly a hundred sets of chain mail obtained in the process of chasing the magic mountain.

The armor and weapons of the cavalrymen of Hejian families who died in the Battle of Helun Town cannot be tampered with for the time being. After all, they belong to the owner and may have to be returned after the war.

After all, the biggest expense of armed nobles is to maintain their own family's armed forces, and armor and weapons are the bulk of it.

Soldiers of the fourth and fifth ranks received plate armor, more than 600 sets of chain mail were all given to the second ranks, and the rest were distributed randomly.

After the entire armor was distributed, there were only more than 80 sets left, which required the recasting of the armor in the armory to be greatly accelerated.

In order to separate them from the soldiers of the Western Region, the soldiers wearing the Western Region Armor were given special burqas with patterns of golden armour, red horses and golden gate knives drawn on them.

The new flag was called the Golden Saber Map by the refugee farmers who helped dye it, and Arthur agreed with this statement.

After all, his gold content is quite sufficient.

The work of establishing the command system of the new army had been going on all afternoon, and before dinner, all the prominent figures in Harrenhal came to watch the brief formation ceremony.

In the hall of the barracks, Mrs. Hean, Patrick Mallister, Hendry Bracken, Dickon Tarly, Beric Dondarrion, Soros, etc., stood neatly arranged in fifteen hundred Watching Arthur perform this weird ritual in front of a new army.

The three battalion commanders Zordan, Kafei, and Dawa were awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel by Arthur, the three deputy battalion commanders were awarded the rank of major, and the squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander were second lieutenant, lieutenant, and captain in turn.

Arthur gave himself the rank of colonel, and since the number of recruits was small, he set the colonel as the highest rank.

Of course, this does not prevent the soldiers of the new army from calling him a general.

After conferring titles, more than 500 soldiers began to sing the newly compiled military song.

"Drums are beating, sabers and flags are flying, and General Arthur's orders are heard; be tenacious and brave, and the enemy will be finished when the sword meets red..."

"Riding a red horse by the God's Eye Lake, and inserting the golden saber flag into Casterly Rock City..."

After singing, more than [-] people raised their left hands in unison, pointed upwards, and shouted in unison:

"loyalty!"

Then, Zordan, the battalion commander of the first battalion, walked up to Arthur who was wearing a plate armor, and said in a strong voice:

"General Arthur, please issue an order to fight against the evil Tywin army!"

"For the sake of the people of Hejian, I declare that from now on, the new army and any western army that enters Hejian will be in a state of combat." Arthur said to the soldiers of the new army.

Behind him, King Lightning, Patrick, Mrs. He'an and other nobles watched these actions in surprise, and then looked at each other.

"Where is this custom? It's strange."

"This song is quite nice."

"Anyway, it's not a Myr custom." Soros stroked his bun and looked at the new army puzzled.

Dickon explained: "These are all done according to Lord Arthur's orders. In terms of army and command, I think he is simply a genius."

Although he had received complete military training from his father, Randall Tully, compared with Arthur's set, it was still not enough.

Deacon admitted that he could not design an army system such as ranks, squads, platoons, companies, and battalions.

Patrick looked at Arthur proudly: "As expected of my idol, he can even do this."

His admiration for Arthur goes beyond force.

After the whole ceremony was completed, the soldiers returned to the Wailing Tower, and the nobles returned to the Burning King Tower.

Originally, the hall of the barracks was the dining place for the soldiers, but in order to train the recruits, it was converted into a training ground, so the soldiers had to go to the big kitchen passing by to cook, and then go back to their rooms to eat.

The barracks hall may not be restored to its original purpose, as the program to recruit recruits from the vagrants will continue for a long time.

At dinner, Arthur discussed the defense plan with everyone based on the layout of Harrenhal, and then made the following deployment:

The east gate was defended by [-] soldiers from various Hejian families. The Earl of Berry was in charge of the defense, and Patrick, Hendry and other Hejian nobles assisted in the coordination.

Twenty or thirty people from the Brotherhood Without Banners also joined the battle at the East Gate. With a master like Soros around, the pressure there was not too great.

The other gate of Harrenhal, the main gate, was defended by Arthur with the first battalion, second battalion and reinforcement company of the new army.

A small number of Hejian soldiers and some new soldiers who were not recruited were scattered around the city wall. They were responsible for monitoring the movements of the soldiers from the Western Region under the city wall.

But considering that the weather has been good recently, and Harrenhal is facing the lake on one side, we just need to stare at the large open space in front of the main entrance.

Because tens of thousands of soldiers cannot be moved in the other two directions, as well as large ordnance such as battering rams and trebuchets.

The third battalion, as the general reserve, stayed on the ground on the first floor. They were responsible for supporting the guards near the two gates when they couldn't stand it.
